16 Resolution With The Demons Arc

17-18 The Kyoran Clan

Just another hundred kilometers towards the north-northwest.

Around noon, while the autumn sun was starting to tilt towards the west, the radicals arrived at their destination.

Theres nothing but a river here.

Well, its supposed to be underground. Raidoros, please.

Raidoros was the current chief of the Kyoran clan, after his father, Garoguras, regrettably lost his life as a result of the Ether Stampede of the day before.

The ones brought along by the Kaigyaku chief Bafrosk werent just fellow survivors of Ether Stampedes, they were also particularly skilled.

In this case, they would use Golems.

Marchosias, who had once deceived Elsas father when he invaded the Shouro Empire, was also a member of the Kyoran clan, and had also been recruited by Bafrosk to join his hunt of No. 13.

Leave it to me.

First of all, Raidoros, the best Transfer Magic user of his clan, brought in a golem with his magic.

After doing the same thing three more times in quick succession, a total of 4 Golems were transferred to their location.

Then it was Marchosias turn to act.

Marchosias, go.

Roger. Belgris.

That was the name of the Golems brought by Raidoros. Each of them were about 4 meters tall.

Though smaller than the stone giants used by the Kanrou clan, these 4 Golems were superior in both power and speed.

Such Golems had been created by Marchosias. He was regarded as a genius among his clanspeople since the Kyoran clans origins.

The 4-meter-tall Golems roamed around while causing the ground beneath them to tremble with each step. And they came across a certain spot where the ground made a different sound when treaded on.

It sounds like theres a cave under that spot No. 1, do it!

Each of the four Belgris had a different weapon. No. 1 had a huge hammer that looked very much like a giant mace.

No. 1 swung down his enormous weapon, slamming it onto the ground at that spot.

A thunderous roar echoed and a cloud of dust rose. Then a second blow, and a third one.

After 4 hits, the ground caved in, revealing a hole that shone with the brilliance of metal at the bottom.

So there was a cave here after all. Distruzione!

Bafrosk cast an Explosion Magic spell. The ground was blown away, exposing the metal underneath.

He then prepared for a follow up attack on the metallic plate itself, but then

Good grief, how noisy! I commend you for having found this place. But this little adventure of yours will be your last.

A voice echoed close by, and another hole appeared, from which four silver gargoyles appeared.

Though their sudden appearance still took the demons by surprise, they werent as afraid of them as when they saw the gargoyles in the courtyard. The impression that Reiko and the others left on them by easily defeating the gargoyles was still strong.

Dont flatter yourselves that much to think you can beat me with those dolls.

Then the gargoyles attacked, and the Belgris stood up to them.

These gargoyles were 3 meters tall. At first glance, the Belgris appeared to have the upper hand merely on account of being 1 meter taller than them. But a.s.suming that proved to be a mistake.

The silver gargoyles moved quickly. The Belgris, on the other hand, were much slower. Because of this, the Belgris were unable to land a hit on the gargoyles, while they in turn wouldnt miss a single attack on the Belgris..

Still, due to their higher defense, the gargoyles attacks didnt seem to do much damage to the Belgris, so the battle looked like it would take a long time to reach its conclusion.

Distruzione!

However, it was the demons magic that would start to tip the scales slightly in their favor. The Kaigyaku clan started helping their giant Golems with their renowned skill with Explosion Magic.

Meanwhile, a total of 20 Land units and Reiko were monitoring the battle from a distance while cloaked by their Invisibility spells.

They were standing by, ready to act as soon as the demons were in any danger.

This is far from optimal, but losing any more lives than we already have would deeply affect My Lord on an emotional level.

Laojun was also observing the demons battle while thinking about such things.

If they could learn anything about No. 13s strength as a result of this battle, it would be like killing two birds with one stone.

The explosion from Distruzione restricted the gargoyles movements. At that moment, a mace came cras.h.i.+ng down on one of them.

The impact shook that gargoyles torso quite heavily, further impairing its movements.

Then, an overhead follow up attack smashed that gargoyles head, crus.h.i.+ng it completely.

Three more gargoyles to go.

No. 1! Join No. 3!

In what seemed to be a display of Marchosias tactical knowledge, he immediately sent one of his Golems to its nearest companion.

With this, one of the remaining gargoyles was facing 2 Belgris at a time, which had the demons splls for support as well.

No. 3s weapon was a longsword. Its tip was larger and seemingly heavier, making it clear that it was designed to make use of centrifugal force to deal a great amount of damage. It seemed to be very powerful, but power meant nothing if it couldnt hit its target.

Back when they were fighting on a 1-to-1 ratio, the Belgris were at the mercy of the gargoyles speed. But in a 2-to-1 situation, the battle slowly leaned towards demons side.he demon side.

There!

The gargoyle was eventually prevented from moving, and the longsword came swinging horizontally with great force, biting into its targets waist.

No. 1! Follow up!

Belgris No. 1s mace came swinging from the longswords opposing direction, cras.h.i.+ng onto the other side of the gargoyles waist.

The impact on both sides caused the cracks caused by the longsword to spread even further, and the gargoyle was ultimately split in half horizontally before collapsing on the ground.

No. 1, No. 2, support No.3 and No. 4.

Marchosias commanded his Golems once again. Now each pair was in a 2-to-1 situation.

No. 2s weapon looked like a tremendously big spear. More than a spear, it would be more accurate to call it a lance. It was a weapon specialized for thrusting itself into its target.

No. 1 succeeded in catching the leg of one of the remaining gargoyles who was trying to avoid being hit by Explosion Magic, making it an easy target for No. 2s weapon of choice.

The lance pierced through the gargoyles chest, coming out way through its back, and completely destroying the Magi Device that was keeping it operational.

No. 4s weapon was a huge battle ax with a long handle.

No. 3 swung his sword to drive on the gargoyle, but it managed to dodge the hit thanks to its superior speed.

In the meantime, No. 1 and No. 2 also joined in.

The situation was now 4 to 1.

As expected, the gargoyle was eventually cornered, and No. 4s battle ax crushed its head, causing it to stop moving completely.

We did it! We have nothing to fear from these gargoyles!

Bafrosk felt encouraged.

At that moment, the voice that echoed out of nowhere spoke with ridicule.

How foolish of you to be so overconfident in your meager power.

Then a single dark silver gray gargoyle appeared.

Another gargoyle, huh? We just beat four of those. What could a single one possibly do? Bring it on!

Being the one closer to this new gargoyle, No. 4 attacked it with his battle ax.

But the dark silver gray gargoyle took up to the skies.

Ugh Not this again! How can that thing fly?

Jin was observing the battle in the Control Room on Hourai Island. Elsa, who was standing next to him, was staring at the screen with a serious face.

Are both stupid?

Huh?

Elsa was confused by Jins remark.

No. 13 is just mindlessly throwing out his resources one after the other, and the demons are being too overconfident.

He then went on to express his shock about the fact that the demons seemed to have completely forgotten about No. 13s ability to unleash an Ether Stampede to kill them all on the spot with very little effort.

Im more worried about the demons.

Elsa spoke her mind.

What if No. 13 isnt just mindlessly throwing out his resources after all?

Huh?

Imagine if he actually could match Reikos power. If he could do that, then these gargoyles are no more than toys to him.

The dark silver gray gargoyle on the screen looked at the fourth wall, as if it had heard Elsas words.

That color Is that Adamant.i.te?

If so, it should be quite heavy. But the footprints it left on the ground as it walked didnt seem to be that deep.

Hmm, maybe its just an adamant.i.te exterior?

At that time, No. 4 attacked, and the gargoyle jumped and began to fly.

This one can fly as well It has to be some kind of combination of Gravity Magic and Wind Magic.

What do you mean, Brother Jin?

Hmm? Ah, so that could explain

Jin seemed to have arrived at some conclusion regarding the secret behind the gargoyles ability to fly.

He must be using Gravity Magic to reduce its own weight to a thousandth of its original value, and then his Wind Magic carries the gargoyle in the air.

Making its weight 0 would make the gargoyle too difficult to control.

According to Reiko, Lardus used to do a similar thing. He would make his sword lighter when swinging, and then heavier just before it would hit its target.

Jin also added that such a maneuver would require a high degree of control of Gravity Magic.

Then, on the screen, they could see the dark silver gray gargoyle land in the middle of the group of demons.
