Chapter 271 – Albert #4
He was ordered to kill his original master, but the soft golem didn’t hesitate.
I just moved forward, leading the body of a giant and shaking the ground.
[Bake it.]
Albert’s soft golem desperately blocked that reckless charge. Two heavy golems collided in the middle of the workshop. It looked like they were holding each other and engaging in a power struggle like wrestlers.
“Wait, Grand Master! Another golem has appeared!”
“Why do golems attack each other?”
Albert wasn’t the only one who was taken aback by the golems’ wrestling that started out of nowhere. The beastmen soldiers and my party members were also taken aback when they saw the newly infiltrated Soft Golem. It is a skit that took place because it is impossible to tell whether it is an enemy or an ally.
I shouted quickly before any confusion arose.
“I summoned the newly appeared golem! You can rest assured!”
“You mean Magister Luke’s golem? I see.”
“Huh? Nightmare, do you know how to summon a golem too?”
“There’s a golem on our side too!”
When the voice of the amplification magic resonated in the workshop, the subjugation team members quickly grasped the situation. It was good news for the subjugation team members that golems had been added to the friendly side as well.
A total of three soft golems were summoned by Albert with great magic.
One of them was bound by the soft golem I called. In other words, one-third of the power was rapidly reduced at once.
It would be nice if I could summon another soft golem here.
I mean, that seems impossible.
‘Is summoning a golem the only thing with the cloned great magic?’
Even if you recite the spell again, a new golem will not come out.
The mechanism of my great magic is fundamentally a method of deteriorating and copying the opponent’s magic. There is no choice but to call the result of one step downgrade.
In this case, it appears that the number of golems has been reduced to one.
It’s a pity, but what’s the point of stealing one body?
I calmly watched the battlefield where the golems and the subjugation team fought bloody battles. After using the great magic, I got a rough idea of the characteristics of the soft golems.
Coincidentally, Rumi also taught me the characteristics of great magic.
[Ah, can you hear me, wizard? We have now completed the analysis of the effectiveness of the great magic that the wizard cloned.]
Rumi, a magic book floating in the air, spoke to me.
As always, it is a magic book that will help you in an important phase.
“You analyzed the effectiveness of the great magic? How did you do it?”
[I activated the ‘Mimir Artifact’ that I had taken out of the library. I showed the image of the golem I observed to Mimir Artifact as an illusion. Completing the analysis was straightforward.]
“Oh, you mean that big head?”
I wondered how he analyzed the effectiveness of the unfamiliar great magic, but the answer was surprisingly simple.
‘Mimir Artifact’
In Rumi’s magic book, there was an excellent magic analyzer called ‘Mimir Artifact’. It is a universal wiki-like tool that provides information on anything related to magical phenomena. It seemed that Rumi had activated it by her own judgment.
[The name of the great magic that has been cloned is 〈 Golem Guardian 〉. It is a great magic that summons a golem that protects the caster. These golems are designed to protect the caster under any circumstances, and have gloves with extreme durability.]
“Dirty hardness is a characteristic of golems?”
[That’s right. It is said that the golem’s armor that is covered with an outer shell is comparable to the strength of rare metal. This means that ordinary attacks cannot even scratch the armor.]
Gloves with extreme durability.
It was only then that I realized how soft golems could run amok to the point of ignorance. Although they had been carefully examining them since before, they were golems that were not affected by the attacks of the beastmen soldiers.
Of course, that doesn’t mean those golems are absolutely invincible.
Because there was a terrifying bamboo prostitute in the subjugation party who could emit aura blades.
It is the great warrior Lefiel.
Shih!
Every time the aura-bearing spear blade pierced and fell, a hole formed in the golem’s body. Le Piel was launching a devastating attack on the soft golems with her single body.
[Parts Tsutsutsutsu!]
Finally, one Soft Golem was smashed by the overwhelming destructive power of the Aura Blade.
There are only two of Albert’s soft golems left in the workshop.
The soft golem I command is still alive. You can see that the situation has turned to your advantage. Even at the start of the battle, Albert’s face was contorted.
“It’s big. There’s a blue -blue young man magic. You are you? Did you call a new soft golem?”
Albert also seemed to notice that it was I who summoned the soft golem. He advertises that he uses magic while emitting mana all over his body, but if you don’t notice, that’s an idiot.
How is Albert feeling now?
A sorcerer appeared who copied his unique great magic.
If I had to compare it, wouldn’t he feel like he was subjected to NTR?
Magic Netorare.
It’s like a golden sun wizard.
I turned to Albert and nodded his head.
“That’s right. I was the one who summoned the Soft Golem. It turned out to be more fidgety than I thought. It’s clear to see that he betrayed his master mercilessly.”
“Are you the owner of the same great magic as me? It can’t be! There can’t be two wizards who use the same great magic in this world! Looks similar to me, and what the hell are you?”
“Well.”
Of course, they do not possess the same great magic.
They just copied and stole magic.
Of course, there is no reason to give Albert detailed explanations. In such an urgent situation, jumping out and giving a long explanation is something an explanationist would do.
‘If I don’t know, I’ll have to die.’
That’s the rule of this world.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer. All we have to do is catch you and interrogate you. It’s funny how you hope that you’ve defeated the Soft Golem.”
The war situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable to Albert.
But Albert wasn’t taking my mind off that he firmly believed in something.
“Huh.”
Albert looked at Lefiel with a strange smile.
It is the great warrior Lepiel, who can be said to be the greatest power of the subjugation party.
Albert’s enchanting eyes followed Lefiel as if licking him.
‘Are you trying to make a last resort?’
As soon as I saw your eyes, I felt it.
I knew what Albert was up to. Since he was from the same clan as me, he knew very well how the dreamers struggled at the last moment.
It’s just a fascination!
Eyes that radiate a bewitching light.
Because the mental control of the charm is especially lethal to the opposite sex, it was possible to overturn the game at once.
All in all, the Great Master who leads us is a female prisoner.
If you become possessed by Albert even for a moment, a major accident will happen.
‘I won’t let you bet on mind control.’
I had to stop
“Kyaaaaa.”
Albert exploded his light beam and released his eyes towards Lefiel.
As if a flash had gone off, a group of red lights exploded in the studio. Le Piel, exposed to eye light, stopped on the spot without being able to wield his spear.
“Huuuuu…!”
His body trembled and tried to resist, but Le Piel couldn’t budge. The light in the eyes filled with Yogi must be controlling Lefiel’s physical nerves.
“I will give you orders, beast woman warrior.”
What order to give?
It would be obvious to give orders to kill allies, right?
“With your hands, your ally…”
It was the moment Albert clicked his lips.
I quickly leaped forward and cast a spell.
[Great Wall]
A thick rock rose from the floor and caused a crack in the workshop.
[Great Wall], An intermediate level rock type magic.
It is a magic that summons a rock barrier to block the enemy’s path. But besides blocking the way, the rock wall had an important feature.
Blocking the opponent’s line of sight.
A thick barrier over 3M in length separates the inside and outside areas. The red eye light that was staining the workshop bloody disappeared without a trace. To be precise, it is blocked by the barrier and cannot pour over the wall.
“Thanks to you, I survived! Thank you, blonde dreamer.”
Lefiel’s rigid body was released.
After being released from mental control, Lefiel thanked me. He succeeded in nullifying Albert’s fascination plan, which he was wary of.
Even if it’s a charm eye, it’s not omnipotent.
In the end, as long as the medium for mind control is a light beam, the effect disappears when there is cover. The [Great Wall] I learned as a countermeasure was very useful.
“I’ll finish it.”
I ran forward and jumped over the barrier to reach Albert. The soft golems that were blocked by the punitive squad could not block my path.
“Kheuuuuu”
Beyond the barrier, I found Albert alone with his eyes shining.
Albert, who had become powerless against the golem summoned by the Great Magic and the surprise attack aimed at by the Charm Eye, seemed to feel a terrible sense of humiliation. I could see him biting his lip so hard that his blood oozing out.
“Now, what shall we do?”
I grabbed the quarter staff and opened my mouth.
A raging storm of cold began to engulf me.
Clearly, it would have been impossible to defeat Albert if the duel had been fair and square.
If you purely look at your skills as a mage, Albert would be superior to me.
But reality doesn’t always go as it should.
As long as there was a variable, it was possible for the weak to defeat the strong at any time.
“Do you want to die in a place like this!”
Albert glared at me fiercely and gnashed his teeth.
“This body is the Wiseman! I mean the master of magic! These thugs dare to kill me!”
I wonder if he has a very strong pride, befitting a descendant of the devil.
Even when he was cornered at thirteen, he showed his determination to the end.
But you don’t have to feel so unfair.
I am also a descendant of the Demon King.
[Quick Freeze]
The raging cold condensed and froze the quarterstaff. Even if Albert gave up his resistance and cried out for help, he had no intention of saving him from the beginning.
Wiseman is harmful.
Since they worship the demon king, they are no different from worms that eat away at the world.
Even if he was thoroughly trampled to death in this place, no one would say anything.
“Hagalaz.”
I uttered a spell and cast all the magic I had learned.
Without hesitation, I fired a spell bombardment at Albert.
Kwaaang!
An explosion so violent that the eardrums rang.
The ground froze, and projectiles of fire and lightning ran through the ground.
After a long battle, Albert finally met his end.
Inside the alchemist’s workshop, which was his own paradise.
*
Accomplished the objective of the quest.
The phantom thief Albert, who made the Northern Kingdom go wild, is now a cold corpse inside the ancient temple.
If it was my spell bombardment, it was surprisingly good at blocking it. As befits a first-class wizard, he learned a lot of magic besides great magic. However, Albert’s defeat was predestined from the moment the male subjugation team members who had dealt with the soft golem joined them beyond the barrier.
It means there is no business in front of Dagul.
Whether on Earth or in another world, anyone loses their pulse in front of a side number.
“It’s time to go back to Joensuu.”
The trip in the Principality of Morph has come to an end.
It was time to return to our dear hometown.
Of course, there was one thing I had to check before leaving the temple.
‘So what was Albert doing here?’
The research that the deceased Albert was conducting while confined to the temple.
Shouldn’t you check what it is and leave?
It was a magical study that the descendants of the demon king were working on.
There must have been some unusual research going on.
“Luke! Come to this room. There are a lot of dead bodies of monsters. You can also see strange artifacts.”
“Here, Dreammaster. I can feel the evil energy in the room.”
After a while, Rebecca and Kate, who were searching the temple with the beastmen soldiers, called me.
It seems that they found something on their side.
I entered the room where they were to investigate.
