Magicraft Meister Part 1

Most of the demons had shrunk in the face of this gargoyle-like creature, which the demons called , and which looked nothing but a gargoyle to Jin.

"What's going on, everyone?"

Baphlosk, the , who was standing nearby, replied in a hushed voice.

"...... They are angels, messengers of heaven from our legends. As you can see from its flight in the sky, its power is immense. I never thought I'd be dealing with an angel. ......"

He looks a little pale. I can't help but think that Bafrosk is a legendary being, but I guess that's how it is when you see him in person.

The next thing he knew, all the demons present were crouched on the ground.

The only ones standing were Jin, Reiko, and Anne. There are ten Land troops, however, who are invisible.

>

The last black gargoyle to land asks the .

"Yes. Why should I be afraid of a mere golem with wings?"

Jin knew that the golem in front of him was a golem that he was making work because he was bored with the excess of his magical power.

If he had to be careful, he wondered what additional functions it would have.

But it is also a great opportunity to wake up the extremists.

Jin decided to use all the forces currently in the demon territory.

Lando!　Prepare to attack!

With that voice, the dispatched army golems, Lands 11 through 20, released their invisibility and appeared.

His expression did not change, but his voice was filled with hatred.

"Go!"

Paying no attention to the words of No. 13, Jin gave the order to attack.

Ten army golems against fifty gargoyles. Reiko and Anne were evacuating the crouching demons.

"Uh-oh!

"Uh-oh!"

Ann tossed the demons one by one as if they were a hassle, and Reiko took them and evacuated them indoors.

The demon tribe, having been drained of their venom, was so docile that it was hard to believe that they were radicals.

Meanwhile, Lando and his men clashed with the gargoyles.

Lando and his men were armed with the Vibration Sword, a super high-speed vibrating sword. It has the power to cut an enemy gargoyle in half with a single blow.

Ten gargoyles were disabled in the first clash. In contrast, Lando and his men are unharmed.

Once again, Lando and the gargoyles cross paths, bringing the enemy's losses to 20.

"......Are you a <> type after all?"

The <> is a method named by Jin, and refers to those that are powered by magic, such as the Stone Golem, which is an advanced form of <>.

Because of its low efficiency, it can only be used in places where free magic element (ether) is abundant, such as demon territory.

>

The black gargoyle, who must be the captain of the group, emits the voice of No. 13, and his voice is frustrated.

On the other hand, the militant demons who watched the battle in the courtyard from indoors were stunned to see the legendary they had feared being defeated without difficulty.

But there are still 30 enemy gargoyles.

No. 13 sent 10 of them to separate. The target, of course, was the evacuated demons.

Reiko!　Anne!"

At this point, Reiko and Anne were instructed.

Yes, Father...

Yes, Your Highness!

Reiko wielded Momoka, and Anne wielded her super fast Vibration Sword and slashed at the gargoyles.

In an instant, Reiko had cut down six gargoyles and Anne had cut down four.

"......!　That was the ......!"

It was Dogmaraud of the ash heap who shouted out.

"Dogmaloud, you know him?"

"Yes, father. Yes, I know him. That little one was the automaton who withstood Lardus' gravity spell and knocked him unconscious.

"What?　Has Lardus ever fought with that automaton?"

Bafrosk, the leader of the clan, interrupted from the side.

"......The gravity magic of Lardus is unmatched in our clan. And you say you withstood it?"

"Yes. Yes. And with an Eladrite. The little one withstood it!

"What!"

They could understand Reiko's outrageousness only because they knew what it meant.

Reiko had slain the remaining gargoyles with Lando and the others, and just now all but the black gargoyle had stopped moving.

The black gargoyle was floating about 5 meters in the air, out of reach of the blades, staring at the battle situation.

"You are the only one left."

As Jin (the <>) said this, the black gargoyle pulled out a magi crystal from somewhere.

He then threw the Magi Crystal into the air.

"Transfer!

Reiko didn't know how the Magi Crystal worked, but she quickly used her to transfer the Magi Crystal far away before it reached the ground.

>

"I don't know what they were planning to do, but we can't let them get away with it."

<>

For the first time, the black gargoyle seemed impatient.

<>

"I am Magecraft Meister, Jin Nido."

<>

"Yes. You don't know this, but we humans are progressing."

Jin Nido waits for the old man to finish his work while they talk.

No. 13 is not here. He must be remotely controlling the black gargoyle from some distant base.

Therefore, they did not defeat the black gargoyle immediately, but continued the conversation to gather information.

>

"Oh, you know what happened to No. 001?"

Jin replies to No.13's question with somewhat provocative words. Sure enough, No. 13 is on board.

>

<<<< magic canceller >>,activate it! >>

The old man guessed from No. 13's words that he was going to cause an "ether stampede," and activated the "magic canceller" he had developed for this purpose from Pegasus-1, which was standing by in the sky above. At about the same time, Reiko also activated her magic canceller.

At about the same time, Reiko also activates the magic canceller in her bracelet.

>

The voice of No. 13 becomes muffled and inaudible. The black gargoyle falls to its knees. Here ends the first battle with No. 13.

"That went well."

The wave of the magic canceller nullified the magic ray of the activated "Aether Stampede", and the surrounding area was unaffected. Furthermore, even the gargoyle's movement was blocked.

He continues to shower the gargoyle with the waves of his magic canceller for a dozen seconds or so. The magic ray that was supposed to cause an "ether stampede" would have stopped and disappeared by now.

"All right, Reiko, to be cautious, I'm going to activate the Aether Jammer. After that, Pegasus 1, stop irradiating.

Reiko uses the etherjammer. Then the irradiation of Pegasus 1 is stopped. In this way, the ether jammer becomes effective as soon as the irradiation stops.

In this state, Jin and the Horai-jima group created by Jin can use magic.

"All right, let's release this guy!"

Jin (), while alerting Reiko, slowly analyzes the black gargoyle.

"...... what's this, it's the same old stuff. ......"

As initially expected, it seems to have just been remotely piloted.

"I guess it's a < type."

There is no doubt because there is no muscular tissue or skeleton.

"...... This is the control core, and this is the maggireactor.

After all, this gargoyle, too, was not using a combination of an ether converter and a mana driver, but a maggireactor.

"But this is ...... ah, this is how they were doing it."

Instead of the twin crystals of magi crystals that Jin had worked so hard to create, he was using long columnar crystals with the magi formula written on both ends.

"I wonder if this is not 90 percent efficient, even if it is."

Jin muttered to himself as he continued his analysis.
