729 - - 21-41 Everything is over.





One of the animals, engulfed in flames, falls. The morale of the team is lifted a little by the success of the battle at last.

However, the three flame balls that were fired afterwards failed to catch the quickly moving and were extinguished in vain.

Then, a further situation arose that left the team members in despair.

The remaining ROCK WOLF began to merge ...... or rather, fuse together.

The result of the fusion of the 16 Rockewolf monsters was a Rockewolf monster more than twice as large as the others.

It was 2.5 meters long. Standing on its hind legs, its paws could reach the head of a 6-meter tall .

But white smoke rises from both of its hands. It is being melted.

It seems to be trying to get rid of the obstacles first.

Meanwhile, Fritz and the others are fighting the remaining one, a saber boar.

The wind magic he excels at is not enough to inflict a fatal wound or even to effectively check the boar.

On the other hand, slashing with his sword would melt it, and repeated attacks would render it useless.

"Whoa!"

A fireball from a hot air balloon in the sky grazed one of the knights.

A moving knight, a moving saber boar. It's hard to aim.

"Kuu, we're losing ground at this rate. ......"

Fritz is getting impatient.

He is just dodging and not making any effective attacks.

"<>!"

Cynthia, Gloria's second-in-command, unleashed an earth magic, but the saber boar didn't seem to feel any pain and rushed straight at Cynthia.

"Kyaaa!"

Cynthia barely dodged, but she was grazed in the side and fell down.

"Shea!"

Gloria rushes to her.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Cynthia stood up, her face contorted in pain. However, white smoke was rising from her right armpit and a hole was visible in her breastplate. Her body is probably damaged as well.

The saber boar-like creature made a U-turn about 20 meters ahead and came back again. This time, it seems to be targeting Cynthia again.

"Kuu......"

Cynthia has yet to fully regain her bearings. To protect her, Gloria readied her shortsword.

A saber-bore rushes forward. Just before the collision, Gloria takes a half step back and cuts it off.

And by coincidence, the saber boar's core, which was inside its body, was cut in half as well.

The saber boa, which had had its magical core destroyed, began to lose its shape as it ran through, and eventually became a mere semi-fluid body that spread out on the ground with a clattering sound.

"Thank you, vice captain."

"Gloria, you've done it!"

Jin made this composite sword. The sword was made of thin adamantite sandwiched between steel, and while the steel was melted, the adamantite blade sliced through the magic core without a second thought.

However, the cost was great.

Gloria falls silently.

"Sub-commander!

Cynthia and Fritz run to her. They help her up.

The saber-bore had slashed at the boar, and the fluid that had spewed out had burned his face, neck, and even his right arm.

"Heal me!"

But the female knight in charge of healing, Tiffany Baldacci, is on 's shoulders.

And the is being targeted by a giant rock wolf.

The from the hot-air balloon seems to be running low on magic power, and is no longer being released.

The only thing Fritz can do now is to get the seriously injured Gloria into the hot air balloon.

He waves his hands in the air to attract the attention of the hot air balloon crew.

When the crew sees Gloria's wretched condition from a distance, they slowly lower their altitude.

Fritz then hands the limp Gloria to and manages to get her on board as the hot air balloon descends to that height.

However, the hot air balloon is already full to capacity, and it is unlikely to be able to carry any more injured passengers.

The crew was also running out of magic power and was unlikely to be able to attack or provide support for the time being.

Therefore, they decided to leave and take the seriously injured Gloria to the nearest town.

Slowly a hot air balloon headed south.

Fritz looks away and then back at the enemy.

The giant rock wolf was now grappling with who was supporting .

<'s limbs were melting away in a cloud of white smoke. It would not be long before it malfunctioned.

"All is not well ......?"

Five years ago, when he was still a lieutenant. In a skirmish with the Kingdom of Celuloa, he had been taken prisoner by the Celuloa Defense Forces.

I was the only one who stood out from the crowd, relying on my military prowess.

He was able to return home in exchange for prisoners of war, and since then he has learned not only martial arts but also tactics and strategy.

Just when even he was about to lose heart.

Just as he was about to break down, there was an impact sound, and the giant rock wolf that was fighting <> was blown away.

"What the hell just happened?

Someone tapped Fritz on the shoulder.

What?

A slender man with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a silver helmet and jet-black clothes was standing there.

"Don't worry," he said.

"Who are you?"

I don't know when he appeared,

"I am Machina. Deus ex machina.

I am deus ex machina.

"Machina?"

Fritz had heard the name. He had been instrumental in stopping a conflict that had arisen between countries at the instigation of the Unifilers.

"Yes. It seems that I have summoned up the ghosts of the Magic War. But you can leave that to me too.

Fritz looked in the direction Makina's face was facing and could not believe his eyes.

A giant rock wolf of some sort was tossing about.

The figure in shining silver armor is apparently a woman, and a rather small one at that. She is also quite petite. She looks to be about 5'5" or so.

"This is my partner, Rey.

The female knight, Rei, is a force to be reckoned with, even overpowering a giant rock wolf of some sort.

She wears armor that will not melt at the touch and blasts the giant rock wolf with mere blows.

"Amazing. ......"

"Still, that's not what Rey is really like."

Makina says something that Fritz can't believe his ears. And then...

"Ray, that's the coup de grace."

Makina, who had gotten far enough away from the knights, gave the order.

The silver knight Rei nodded silently and drew the sword at her waist.

It was a sword of purple light. It was perhaps five meters long.

Wielded as if it weighed nothing, the long sword of light sliced a giant rock wolf-like creature into small pieces right in front of Fritz's eyes as he stared at it silently.

In the process, the magical core inside was also destroyed, so it could not take shape again.

Fritz was even more astonished.

Makina had used simple engineering magic, or fire magic of the highest level, <>.

But the magic had vaporized the dangerous semi-fluid in no time at all.

"Now there will be no more regrets. Is anyone hurt?"

"Oh, no, nothing serious... one person was seriously injured, but we sent him to the nearest town in a hot air balloon."

Fritz managed to say something, although he was overwhelmed with astonishment.
