Chapter 67

What do you think?

As I put my hand on the gryphon statue and proceed to a.n.a.lyze it, Ebelheid calls out to me .

I have a feeling that there is a mix of bird strain magic . There was a clockbird feather, right? Next time, lets try to a.s.similate that one a bit .

Okay .

The former hobgoblin chiefs mouth quivered in a threatening manner .

He is not a hobgoblin, as he has already undergone several modifications . It would be correct to call it a goblin chimera .

This is the first time Ive made a chimera of this size, so Im a little excited .

Ive decided to name the three goblins Goblin creatures Goburo, Gobuko, and Gobuto in my mind .

Its not that theyre all male, though .

Ebelheid takes a feather from the investigator and places it on Goburos back .

He then opens the lid of the vial and sprinkles the liquid inside onto goburos back .

Ebelheid holds out his hand to Goburo .

a.s.similate

It glows with a flash, and the water is sucked into its back .

Ebelheid does not use his wand . The ring seems to do the job .

I like that kind of thing . Ill make one next time I have some money .

Then Ill try it out slowly, so lets move it along, please .

Yeah, I know .

I also point my staff to the magic stone embedded in the section of Goburo .

The magic stone is attached to the center, and a magic circle is carved into its neck . This is to use Goburos magic power .

Goburo raises his hand and touches the base of the gryphon statue when the magic power is channeled to the magical stone .

Magic power flows to the statue through Goburos hand .

I touch the Gryphon statue and a.n.a.lyze the flow .

Nice! Thats a good response! But I feel like Im one step away from reaching it

I point my wand at the magic stone and proceed with the a.n.a.lysis while adjusting the magic power flowing to Goburo .

Shall we change roles once?

No, let me explore some more Let me become a little bit more familiar with the clockbird Theres an acc.u.mulated magic power behind the cornerAh, As I thought forget that! Keep it up! Its good as it is!

The gryphon statue turned red as if it had been heated by high temperatures and in the next moment, it collapsed .

Because they were interlocked through the wards, the gryphon statue that was in a different position also turned to powder and dissipated in four pieces .

Yes! I did it! The outer part of the triple-structured warding should have stopped functioning!

Now we can see whats ahead . If we keep this up, we may even be able to break all the wards before the end of the day .

Yes! Lets just do it in a flas.h.!.+ Hey, did you see that? Now, the wards

I turned around and saw the investigators and Wegener looking at us like they were taken aback .

Gosh, poor goblins

One of the investigators muttered to himself .

Its a demon . .

Look at him, hes blinking and foaming . Its like hes about to die .

How do you have these weird spots? Is he okay? I think its going to spew some weird miasma or something .

Isnt that goblin looking at the air?

Maybe its seeing visions of your parents or something .

Hey, hey, you guys were hunting hobgoblins too .

You cant do that to yourself You couldve just celebrated us .

Why are you getting all goblin-patriotic all of a sudden?

Even if you leave them alive, they will only put other people in danger .

Hey, do that brat have the permission to use bio magic?

I, I dont know However, since Ebelheid-sama should have it, and as a front that they moved as Eberhard-samas subject, I dont see a problem with it

But, no matter how you look at it, that brat is not . If a little boy of that age had a permit for bio magic, I would have heard about it . Isnt that a violation of state law?

They look like Ebelheid-samas subject to me

Hey, look into this Wegeners eyes and say that again, hey .

Wegener grabbed one of the investigators and is talking about something disturbing .

Dont tell me you need to have permission for bio magic?

Is there something like a car license?

Thats true, I also feel that if an amateur use bio magic, something horrible will happen Was there such a stinking rule?

I kinda want to return to the sticks where the law reaches now .

I wish that its not that thoroughly managed .

I moved along the other gryphon statues and released the double-eye wards again .

The gryphon statue that was linked to the double-eye ward collapses . Only one last thing remains, the triple eye .

The only victims of this were Goburo and Gobuko, who died .

Goburos death was probably due to his physical limitations, but Gobukos death was my fault .

We have to break through the final wards with Gobuto alone .

If Gobuto doesnt work, well need to catch other goblins .

Should I have added a few more live ones? I didnt expect that the bio magic would be so difficult .

Theres also a lot of pressure since its the last one .

I hope I can get through it somehow . .

Im counting on you, Gobuto .

I called out to Gobuto, which the investigator was carrying on his back .

Gobuto just stared at the ceiling with dead eyes .

I take on the last gryphon statue .

After sufficiently a.n.a.lyzing the Gryphon statue with magical power, I immediately tried to transform Gobutos magic .

Just like the first and second time, it was close to a grand bargain, and a part of the magical beasts with a biased tendency to magic power was sent to Gobuto to a.s.similate with it .

Ebelheid-san .

Whats wrong?

Its a bit of a problem . I think we should destroy this statue and then move on to a.n.a.lyzing the other statues that are linked to it .

There is a trap in this statue .

Its a disgusting contraption that will work if you try to solve it in a straightforward manner .

So you noticed it . But do you think you can break it?

I wont know unless I try, but Im confident that I can do it . But then, Im sure Ill damage the pa.s.sage as well .

Thats a lot of confidence . Dont worry, well just knock it down . Thats what youre here for, you know . I have a hidden card to do it when the time comes .

Ebelheid points the bag filled with high-grade magic stones at me .

If Ebelheid isnt worried about it, its okay I think?

Honestly speaking, I dont know how much of a threat the traps could pose where they are activated .

Ill leave these judgments to Ebelheid .
