 The earlier attempt was just a teaser.

"A little early, but let's play the second card..."

 Guillermo Markitas instructed the support golem.

"Yes, sir, I think so.

Yes, Mr. Markitas.

All ships ready to spread.

All ships ready to spray, sir!

 The five flying boats under Guillermo Marchitas have begun spraying the corrosive solution.

"Hmmm, it's the corrosive solution synthesized from the "Carnivorous Grasshopper". The material of sea dragons is no exception. It will melt metals.

 Once every few decades or centuries, when the conditions are right, an outbreak occurs.

 It is now known that the secret of their insatiable appetite lies in the soluble fluid secreted by their bodies.

 This dissolving fluid gradually dissolves the stomach of the binge-eating grasshopper, and the grasshopper craves food to make up for the dissolved food, creating a sort of negative chain reaction.

 Gold, platinum, and even adamantite are dissolved in front of this dissolver.

 The biological materials that are resistant to this dissolver are the threads of the and the leather of ancient dragons.

 As if in response to these words, the earth below can be seen to be rapidly corroding and beginning to emit white smoke.

 Rocks, trees, and even the earth are being dissolved by this corrosive liquid.

 But Guillermo Marchitas did not know.

 He did not know that there used to be a member of the Jin Family who was studying the .

 They were Mr. and Mrs. Guth Eschenbach and Saki Eschenbach. They had seen the threat of the and were studying them.

 In the process, they found out the following.

 And that ether is the key.

 < is plant fruits, but it also eats animals. They also gnaw on minerals, as long as they are softer than adamantite, using their jaws and teeth strengthened by the free magic element (ether).

 This preference seems to be inherited from when he was not a <>.

 Therefore, if there is something to eat, plants and animals are preferred. Only when there was nothing to eat, they would take a bite of minerals.

 Then, how do they digest the gnawed minerals and convert them into energy?

 Saki and Goose's research has revealed the answer.

 They produce a powerful corrosive fluid inside their bodies.

 It is a powerful corrosive fluid that, to their horror, breaks matter down into subatomic particles. It then takes a small amount of free magic element (ether) as its own, and the subatomic particles are expelled.

 The protons, electrons, and neutrons are appropriately combined to form hydrogen or helium, which is expelled into the air through respiration.

 However, this only works on solids and does not interfere with liquids and gases. Therefore, it does not decompose the corrosive liquid itself.



 Now, let's take a break from the above discussion.

 The reason why the corrosive liquid has such an effect is that it has an effect similar to engineering magic called <>.

 < of Onogoro used in the past to break down compounds into molecules, and it even breaks them down into elementary particles.

 In order for this powerful magic to be effective, the < needed a large amount of food, making it a match-pumping creature.

 And if the dissolver's effect is magical, it can be prevented by a <> instead of a <>.

 Saki and Goose had found out that much.

 The <> airship is unperturbed, while everything around it is melting away in a cloud of white smoke.

 Guillermo Markitas is at a loss.

 For the first time, sweat broke out on Guillermo Marchitas' forehead.

 He would never know. What people can do when they work together. How much power they have together.

Mr. Markitas, the dissolver is losing its effect on the surface.

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com





 If the solution has magical properties, we can eliminate its effects.

 Saki and Guth had even developed a way to clean up after this dangerous solution.

 Write-in is applied to create liquids with magical effects. On the other hand, < can be used to make a harmless liquid.

 However, as is the case with engineering magic, it is only effective when in contact or at very close range, so a method is adopted to wrap it by generating a boundary with <> effect.

The method of "erase" is used to wrap the object by generating an "erase" effect.

 Guillermo Markitas is ready to give it his all this time.

 Guillermo Markitas smiled coldly.

"Prepare for the <>."

Yes, sir.

 The last trump card was the Aether Stampede. Or more precisely, the magical tool that would cause it.

 Guillermo Malkitas had inherited it from his father, Lardus, when he called himself Golbert Malkitas.

(He said that he got it from a ...... mysterious being.)

 It's a large magic weapon. It'll take a while to activate.
