Magicraft Meister Part 1

Enemy golems, 15. Incoming!

Ash, Elm, Land 50, Land 51, intercept.

Roger that.

At Jin's command, four Golems jumped out.

The first to collide with them were the lightweight Ash and Elm. These two are the type of fighters that take advantage of their speed due to their light weight.

Ash, under the pretense of engaging the enemy golem head-on, instantly jumped to the right side and slammed a back left fist into the enemy golem's head.

Elm crouches down to avoid the golem's fist, and then he leaps up and slams his fist into the enemy golem's jaw.

Both of them are effective against the enemy golem, but they do not do much damage against the golem. The head of the attacked golem is crushed, but unlike humans, it is not a fatal wound.

Based on the current Reiko, the output of the army golem is about 20 percent, and that of the SP is about 10 percent. percent.

Even so, a bronze golem can be slaughtered with a single hit, but against a combat golem, it is standard practice to target the torso, where the control core is located.

"Hmmm, it is specialized for fighting against people, isn't it?"

Just as Jin was having this impression, Lands 50 and 51 collided with the enemy golem.

The army golems, as they are known to be, were blown to pieces with the first blow.

Next, Land 50 and 51 each took one of the golems under their arm and smashed them against each other in the same manner. This makes a total of six bodies in the scrap heap.

Meanwhile, Ash and Elm had killed the first two. Seven remained.

"Well, Lando and the others are really pushing hard. Maybe they should learn more martial arts."

Jin recalled how Lotte had been very successful at the Golem Party.

"Next time, I will transfer my knowledge of martial arts.

And he made up his mind to do so.

I was so determined.

"Oh, what a bunch!

Intact, who had been observing them, exclaimed in surprise.

"Mm-hmm, they are strong. I think that's Jin Nido after all.

Marcello made a calm analysis.

"I don't care about that!　We must win!　I'm going to activate the most powerful golem right now!"

With these words, Intact withdraws. The remaining Marcello lets out a sigh.

"Well, it looks like we're going to have to deploy our forces one after the other. We'd better get ready to run away.

* * * *

Little by little, Ash and Elm seem to be getting used to fighting against golems. At first they were fighting one on one, but now they are taking advantage of their speed to take one down with two of them. This is not a match, so it is fine.

On the other hand, Land 50 and 51 used their power to scrap the enemy head on. They couldn't hold two of them aside like they did the first time, but they had already taken down two each and were just now taking down another. Ash and Elm have also finished defeating two of them, and all fifteen enemy golems are now scraps.

"Well, what a pity. Land 50, Land 51, collect them."

They were made and used by their idiotic masters, and now they're in this mess. Jin ordered the 15 bodies to be recovered for research purposes.

"Father, look out!"

A black shadow attacked Jin. Reiko notices this and quickly covers him, but because of the difference in their weight, she is knocked off her feet.

But it was worth it, for the black shadow could not touch Jin, and stopped after stepping on the tatara.

Jin was a little surprised, even though he had put up a barrier. Then he looks at the enemy in front of him.

"...... a black-gray golem. It seems to be different from the ones we've seen before."

Jin could see the quality of the workmanship even from the slightest observation. The black-gray color is also a sign that it is coated with adamantite.

The battle begins again.

Ash and Elm leap at the black-gray golem in place of Reiko, who is knocked away and slightly separated from Jin.

But the difference in size is great. The black-gray golem was about 2.3 meters tall, while Ash and Elm were 175 centimeters tall. In terms of weight, the difference is probably nearly three times as great.

Ash has a right arm and Elm has a left arm. The other golem is catching the other golem with only one arm.

"Wow, it's pretty powerful."

Jin looks at it with interest.

"Hmm, the flow of power is not so different from other Golems. But there is a strange concentration. ...... could it be?"

Jin wonders how the enemy golem is generating its power,

"Rand 50, you're up against it."

"Land 50, you deal with it.

Following his instruction, Land 50 went toward the black-gray golem. The enemy golem notices this and shakes off Ash and Elm.

"Ash, Elm, thank you. Get back here."

Jin instructs them to return to their flanks, bringing the covert maneuver unit (SP) back to his sides.

In front of him, a black-and-gray golem and a Land 50 were locked in a battle. They are grabbing each other hand in hand and pushing each other.

"Hmmm...they are exerting the same power as Lando..."

Jin observes again. Reiko gave him a word of advice.

"Father, it is good to observe the enemy, but you should do it moderately, or the leaders may escape.

Jin reflected on what he had been told. He was aware that he was not suited for combat.

"Yes, I understand. I understand, but I don't want to destroy it too much as a research material. Okay, Land 51, Ash, Elm, Reiko. Get him down."

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Reiko's going to knock him off his feet. She is a little stronger than before, perhaps in retaliation for being bounced off.

The enemy golem with its knee joint bent backward falls to the ground. Reiko punched it at the base of the limb .

In the blink of an eye, the enemy golem's limb joints are half destroyed by the four blows. It was in no condition to exert itself properly.

Then, five more golems seized him, and even the enemy golem was unable to move. Jin moves closer and touches its chest,

"<>".

and erased the operating formula of the control core. Now the black-gray golem is immobilized.

"It worked. We didn't think they would use this magic on us.

All the golems were neutralized, and Jin looked up at the fortress. Reiko also looked up right in front of him.

"The people who were here just a moment ago are gone, aren't they?"

The faces that had been peering through the small observation window had disappeared, and Reiko could detect the presence of living creatures, albeit with a little less accuracy. I trusted her judgment.

"I see. Maybe they are trying to escape. If so, it would be from the other side of here, probably from the river. All right, we're done here. Land 50, 51, and Ash and Elm stay back and watch. If the Unifilers come out, don't let them get away. Reiko, come with me."

Jin and the others are at the front of the fort. The river is the best place to escape. Jin decides so and heads for the river with Reiko. Hydro-5 was waiting for them.

"Okay, we wait for the enemy to come out.

Once the boat is in the river, there is no escape. We were going to round them up. There is a big door in the part of the fort facing the river. If they come out, they will come out through there.

We waited for about three minutes. And the door opened as expected.　

"Okay, you're right. Falcon in the sky, you are to support us. But hold your fire until I tell you otherwise."

This time, Jin had tried to refrain as much as possible from showing off his military strength. I have no intention of giving away our air power.

The enemy ship was a large ship. It is painted black and can hold about 50 people. There were four oars protruding from each side, which seemed to be rowed by a golem.

"Hmmm, it's still a little dark in night vision mode.

Jin, who was in night vision mode, managed to observe without lights. Hydro 5 quietly followed him and waited until the boat was in the middle of the river.

"Okay, <>"

Jin produced five balls of light and floated them. The area is brightly illuminated.

The area was brightly illuminated.

"You mean you've been waiting for me?

The light balls revealed Jin's ship.

"What, they were chasing us in such a small ship?"

Intact made a disparaging remark when he saw that the Hydro 5 was a small boat that could only accommodate about four people at most, but Marcello was different.

"No, Branch Manager, that's not true. That boat doesn't have a rower on board."

"What?"

At the moment, the propulsion engine of all ships in this world is a golem (except for those rowed by men). Marcello wonders why there is no golem on board.

Is there a golem in the water?

Marcello had overheard a story about a golem boat competition in the Kingdom of Elias, in which mermaid golems had participated, and this made Marcello imagine such a thing.

"Yeah, attack!　Magic Squad, forward!　Fire!"

While Marcello was watching, Intact ordered the magician to fire a flame ball at the small boat.

However, just before they reach the small boat, the flame balls explode as if there is an invisible wall, and none of them hit the boat.

"What are you doing?

Intact was excited, frustrated by the ineffectiveness.

Marcello saw this and thought that a hypnotized person is not a suitable leader.
