2712 - - 72-32 I found it, but...






 < and <2(dos)> begin to walk around without concealing their magic.

Look at that!



 2 saw what 1 pointed at, and saw it, too.

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





That's ...... for sure!

It's a golem of our type.

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





 A headless, four-armed golem.

 It was most certainly one of ours.

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





But I don't think they're looking for us.

Mm-hmm. They're patrolling.

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



They haven't spotted us yet.

Something's wrong with ......? They can't see us from this distance?

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



 The distance between them and us is about 50 meters, clearly visible.

 And yet, the golem on the other side seems to be completely oblivious to Uno and Dos.

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



Are they aware and ignoring them, or are their sensors malfunctioning?

Are the sensors malfunctioning? No, if they were, they wouldn't be patrolling.

 I thought about it, but could not come to any conclusion.

 So, first, I decided to speak to it by voice from a distance.

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



"Are you the golem from ?"

"......"

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



 But there was no response.



Are you deaf?

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



I can only assume so.



 So I try to get a little closer and talk to him.

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





"You are ......."

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



 But it still doesn't respond.



It doesn't seem to be behaving strangely. ......

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



Could it be that its visual or auditory sensors are failing?

That wouldn't make sense, would it?

That's true. But isn't there another explanation?

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



Maybe they can hear us, maybe they can see us, but they're ignoring us.

What for?

I'm told that in their last communication with ......, they declared that they would never communicate with each other again. Isn't that exactly what they're doing?

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



Mm-hmm. ......



 Even so, both 1 (Uno) and 2 (Dos) wondered if they would ignore him so thoroughly.

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





If we blocked his way, would he react?

He will, but he shouldn't. He might cut off your legs like that golem.

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



I don't intend to be taken out that easily.

I understand that, but we'll find another way.

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



 So the two of them think of a way to distract the patrolling golem.



How about something to hit it with? A rock, a branch?

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



Hmm, that sounds good.

At a safe distance, of course.

Let's give it a try.

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





 So 1 picks up a fallen twig and throws it at the patrolling golem.

 And then...

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





Whoa!

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



 The twig disappeared in front of the patrolling Golem.

 No, it did not disappear.

 The patrolling golem crushed the twig with such speed that even the visual sensors of 1 (Uno) and 2 (Dos) could not see it clearly.

...... is dangerous!

I agree. I thought it was the same model, but that's just looks. He's better.

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



We shouldn't be the only ones making decisions here.

I agree. Let's call it in.

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



 With that conclusion, the two of them decide to contact Jonathan.

Yes. <


 It's not a voice transmission, so the report took about three seconds to finish.

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





< directly. The other one is to observe it from a safe distance. Report back to me with your findings.

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




Copy that.


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


 <, the two units decide to confront the golem patrolled by 2 (doss) and observed by 1 (uno).



Okay, I'll give it a try. Observe.

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


I'm on it.



 2 (doss) then approaches the patrolling golem. 1 (uno) observes from a distance of about 50 meters.

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


 1 (Uno) was watching from a distance of about 50 meters. 2 (doss) slowly approached.

 40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters.

 Still no response from the patrol golem.

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




 10 meters, still no response.

 5 meters, still no response.

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


 3 meters. .......



Whoa!

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




 2 has suddenly stopped. 2 meters away.


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


What's going on, 2-dos?



 But there's no response from 2 doss.

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




Mm...... has come to a complete stop.


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


 As Jin and the others guessed, this was the result of being deprived of all the mana necessary for its operation.



Whoa!

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




 And the patrolling golem severed 2's legs.


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


I could barely see what it had done, but ...... was it a magical blade?



 No answer.

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


 Leaving a distance of 50 meters, 1 (Uno) continues to observe.

 The patrolling golem leaves 2(dos) motionless and continues to walk slowly.

 After the Golem disappears from sight, 1 (Uno) first reports the current situation to .

<
Yes, that's right. I'm going to go check on the stopped 2-dos now.

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


<<2-dos? Oh, you mean their mutual designation?

Yes. For the sake of convenience, I'll call it 1.

Roger that.



 And 1 is approaching 2. .......

This is ......

 He became aware of the rapid decrease of energy in his whole body, and finally 1 stopped.
