God, I wonder what happened to me.

　I mutter with a sigh as I shoot down the soldiers who are attacking me.
　Well, what can I say? Eventually they found us and we are in the middle of a battle.
　Even though Tsubaki-san was used to this kind of thing, it didn't help that she was carrying four of her footmen, including me.
　One after another, soldiers with swords at the ready come from the passageways of the castle. The only saving grace is that there are no magic long-range attacks, but even so, bows and arrows can still fly at you. Most of them are knocked down by my bullets and the shockwave released by Amber's roar, while Rengeki-san and Sonia-san finish off the opponents.
　And forward, forward, forward again. It's starting to sound like a song my grandfather used to sing. I don't want to scatter with the flowers, though.

''Is this the right way to say the court with the Heavenly Emperor?''
''Yes. But after being found out like this, we must quickly seize the Heavenly Emperor's custody.......
You'll be able to get away with it.

　Tsubaki-san is right, if we take our time, we might get away with it. Then we won't be able to achieve the goal of Jesty-san and the others. It can't be helped, we must forcefully recall them!

Amber! Blast all the soldiers in front of us in one fell swoop!
As you wish.

　The larger amber released a shockwave with a great roar. The enemy soldiers blocking the aisle were cleaved down in one go and passed out on the spot.

''Alright, let's run to the court while we're at it!

　We run past the fallen soldiers and all at once down the corridor to the red carpeted hallway. There are some expensive-looking vases lined up at the side of the corridor, but the colors are so flamboyant that it can only be described as poor taste.
　I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.
　In a large, high-ceilinged space, there was a flashy throne, and a man sat on it.
　He was a bearded old man in his thirties. He was dressed in drab yellow clothes that looked hard to move around in, and on his waist was a golden-scabbarded bay sword, and on his head was a hat with long strings jingling back and forth, like the one worn by Qin Shi Huangdi.
　Two more men stood on either side of them as guards.
　One of them was a man, also over thirty, dressed in a red-black, heavy-looking armored helmet. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well. It's like a large machete.
　The other was dressed in black robes and carried a metal staff curved like a question mark. Is it a wizard? A little younger than a warrior, maybe before thirty? He was a blond-haired, blue-eyed, slender, graceful man. However, his eyes were filled with a somewhat cloudy glow.
　The two guards both have large pendants hanging from their necks. It's a circle and a heptagon. It's the symbol of the Goldilocks Society. I'm sure the soldier was referring to Sol and Gado as these two.
　I'm not sure if the machete man in armor is Sol and the superior man in robes is Gad.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. You can't get away with it.

　The man sitting on the throne, False Heavenly Emperor Jaofa, grinned, holding a golden cube with a dragon statue on it.
　That's the Jade Seal? It's pretty big, isn't it? It's about the size of an apple, isn't it?

Shut up! I don't want that! It's your head I want! Prepare to avenge your father!

　Jesty-san draws her sword from her waist and Rengetsu and Sonia-san also move into a fighting stance.
　Amidst the tense atmosphere, a single gunshot roars through the hall.

''N-........!

　The False Heavenly Emperor looks on in astonishment as the jade seal in his hand is smashed to smithereens.
　Of course, I was the one who shot it. I could have shot the Heavenly Emperor, but that's not my job.

''Kuni, you! How dare you! The sacred seal that has been handed down for 7,000 years to the emperor of Yulong!
I don't know. It's also a lie because it wasn't around 7,000 years ago.

　Honestly, there's no legitimate Heavenly Emperor anymore, so I don't need that thing. I mean, I don't care about it at heart.
　It's not a good idea to have a newborn baby.
　Standing in front of the tooth-biting Celestial Emperor, a warrior called Sol or something like that held up his sword at me.
　He mercilessly sprays bullets at me. Sol flicked it off with his large shield and rushed towards me.

''Doraaaah!

　I swung the large machete in my right hand as hard as I could. I ducked it lightly and pulled the trigger a few times, aiming at Sol's head. Gun Gun! The bullet ricochets off the helmet with a thud. Isn't it hard? This bullet isn't going to work.

Amber!
As you wish.

　The shockwave released by the amber blows Sol away. To Sol, who rolled over with a rumble, this time he reloaded and ate the "Explosive Bullet". The power of this bullet, which is triggered when it lands, is blocked by the inhibiting wards, so its power is quite low, but it can still do a certain amount of damage.

''Guh!

　He aims for another shot at the staggering Sol.

"Come on, lightning barrage, light arrow.

　I immediately jumped back to the side from my spot at the magic chanting that was suddenly heard.
　A few arrows of light pierced the position I was in earlier. Dangerous.
　When I turned around, I saw a wizard called Gad who was holding his staff in front of the throne. Hey, isn't that unfair?

I thought the wards were blocking magic?
A ward of your own making? What would you do without that much work?

　What's that? I'm the only one who is not affected by it, right? It's not fair, but well, it's hostile territory, so it's only natural.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
'What? Who are you ... who are you?

　A look of alarm crossed Gad and Sol's faces.

'....Felsen's dog?
I don't know. More importantly, can you do something about these wards? If you did, I'd show you some interesting magic.
''Unfortunately, this ward is an installation type. It won't disappear unless the key magic tool, Artifact, is destroyed or my magic power is channeled.

　Gad grins. I knew it.

''So, all you have to do is break that magic tool 《artifact》? It's such a large scale ward. It doesn't seem like something you can hide, so it should be easy to find.
You might want to worry about your own life first. "Come, O Darkness, I seek a skeleton warrior, a skeleton warrior.

　As Gad chanted a spell, a magic circle appeared on the floor, and a skeleton warrior 《Skeleton Warrior》 with a tattered sword and shield appeared in a straw from it.
　Tch, troublesome. The Skeleton Warrior 《Skeleton Warrior》 belongs to the undead genus among the summoned beasts. Their combat power is not that high. However, even if they are defeated, they have the ability to regenerate after a period of time, and the only way to defeat them completely is to attack them with light-attribute magic or a weapon that belongs to it.
　The most troublesome part is that there is no way to defeat these guys now that their magic is blocked. No, it's not that there isn't, but launching light magic from zero distance is a bit tricky.

''.........That's quite fun to do.
"Since you know the name of the Golden Fleece, you'll have to die here.

　He shoots down the attacking skeletal warriors with his brunnhild. It rattles and crumbles, but it will regenerate in less than a minute.
　Looking to the side, Tsubaki, Sonia and Rengetsuki were able to easily defeat the skeletal warriors, and Jesty managed to defeat the skeletal warriors, but they were impoverished at this rate. In addition, Sol's presence, who was attacking them along with their skeletons, was also troublesome.
　It's annoying enough. I don't know if it's possible, but I'll give it a try.
　The divine power from his palm is clothed in Brunhild and reaches the bullet in the magazine. When it hits the skeleton warrior's head, poof! And in an instant, the entire body of the skeleton turned to dust.

''What?!''

　Despite Gad's astonishment, he turns the skeletons into dust one by one. God's power is a higher power than magic. I think the reason I can use all the attributes is because of this power.
　In other words, I thought that the divine energy that transformed the divine power has all the attributes. And divine power isn't affected by warding. It's not magic power, and only divine power can interfere with divine power.
　Having completely put away the skeletal warriors, I jumped to the throne in a single step as it was, and thrust Brunhild's blade at the Celestial Emperor's neck.

''Hee!''
Drop your weapon. Drop your weapon or this guy's head will roll off.

　I tell that to both Sol and Gad. I don't think there's any life in this fake Heavenly Emperor since I'm going to hand him over to Jesty-san anyway. I'll have to get those two to throw up a lot of stuff about the 'Golden Society'.
　Gad took a big step backwards and walked up to Sol and pointed his staff towards me.

'Come, flame, fireball of purgatory, fireball.'

　A large fireball was shot out of the metal staff that was held up. ''Hey, wait a minute.

Hiiiiii!
Tsk!

　The flying fireball is cut down in one piece with a Brünnhilde clad in divine spirit.
　The fireball that was cut in half splits into two and splits into left and right sides and explodes with explosive flames behind it.


It was time to move on. I have no use for the man any longer. My schedule just got a little early.
Are you trying to betray us?

　The False Heavenly Emperor raises his voice to Gad and Sol.

''Betrayal is nothing. You and I aren't even friends, are we? We lend you the ironmasters, you pay the workforce. I'm grateful that you made it possible for us to test out the Iron Guard, but that's as far as it goes. We, the Golden Fleet, are moving on to the next stage.
The next step?
"We attack Felsen with ironclads.

　I was a bit surprised by this. I've been thinking that if we were to attack with ironcraft, it would be Hanok.
　I'm not sure I'll ever be safe from Felsen's magic squadron, no matter how many iron-machine soldiers they are. I'm sure both sides will suffer a lot of damage, but does that mean you won't give up?

Does the old head of the Golden Fleet want revenge? You're going to get your revenge for nothing.
''This is not my father's revenge. This is not revenge for my father's death, but the first step in the Golden Society's quest to build a noble world. A new world of magic, for magicians only. The Magia Imperium.
'Father...? So, you're the former chieftain's son?
'How. I am Garland Goldie, the only child, Garzeld Goldie.

　Gad, or rather Garzeld, hits his staff on the floor and announces himself. Is this the boss of the Goldian Society?

I'm going to invoke the Sanctuary, the forbidden magic that my father was unable to perform, and weed out the fools who cannot use magic from this world. The world will be cleansed!

　Sanctuary? That's the same magic his dad was trying to trigger 20 years ago? From the story, it seems to be a magic that wipes out people who can't use magic....
　But what does that have to do with attacking Falsen? Do you need the magic tool "artifact" in Falsen to activate that magic?

I don't know what's going on, but that's okay. If you're the head of the Golden Fleece, we can't let you go.
How about that?

　Gad sneered. In the next moment, a large mechanical hand reaches into the hall, smashing through the wall behind them.
　From within the rattling and collapsing wall, a headless aircraft in a zungry silhouette with a conical assault spear 《lance》 appears. ''This is the Iron Armor!
