Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 71 - Twenty-Fourth Episode - Zeshum Ruins (15)

“Oh, you outdid it. As expected of the Puppet Users, Marren.”

Ebelheid dropped the faded magic stone in his hand to the ground.

“…… Ebelheid-san, please.”

“What makes you think I’m going to listen to you? I have been dreaming of this day all my life, from birth till this day. Three hundred years, three hundred years. You people can’t even imagine it.”

Ebelheid takes out the next magic stone from the bag.

…… that magic stone, I thought you submitted an application for it as a hobby…… but I wonder if it was for using the Arrow of God or something.

If I think about it calmly, there might have been a point at which I could have predicted Ebelheid’s murderous actions.

“…… Please surrender.”

“That’s just nonsense…”

“If it’s one-on-one, I will never lose.”

“W-What did you say?”

“I don’t know how much I can hold back. So please surrender.”

“…………”

Ebelheid shuts up and glares at me.

“H, hey Abel! You can’t provoke him in this situation!”

Maizen grabs me by the shoulders and convinces me.

“No, but it actually is…… we’re inside the building, so if I do it badly, I might end up breaking it down. If that happens, Ebelheid-san might be trapped underneath…… This isn’t because I’m disrespecting Ebelheid-san, going easy on him, and doing it again like before. It means it’s bad if you run into each other, and that’s because you’re looking at it rather heavily…”

“Even so, you should not have said it like that!”

“…… Indeed, I would have lost if it wasn’t here. I’ll accept that.”

Ebelheid points his fingertips at the golem.

“Golem, Obey.”

One of the squatting golems stood up.

A huge body of pure white stone. Nearly three meters tall above the ceiling.

“Behold Abel! These are the soldiers of Zeshum, the white giants of destruction! It was a short meeting, but I’ll remember you. I will remember you as the greatest contributor to the rebirth of Zeshum! You may die with that honor!”

The golem controlled by Ebelheid was coming towards us.

Every time it took a step, the entire ruins shook greatly.

As I observed the running golem, the area around its body occasionally emitted a faint light.

It seems that a ward that prevents magical interference is set up inside the body to automatically expand as soon as it is activated.

Do I intercept it with magic from the front and shatter the entire ward?

No, but………I don’t know how strong it is.

We can’t really use magic indoors, or even in such an intricate place.

If done badly, we could all be buried alive.

I moved to the side of the aisle and touched the body of the golem that was frozen in a crouched position.

If it’s of the same construction, I might be able to figure out its weaknesses by analyzing it.

“Let’s-, let’s run away, Abel! I can’t fight any enemies like that!”

“Yes! That golem is a 2,000-year-old elven weapon! It’s not something we should be involved in!”

Mea and Maizen joined forces to take on the task of persuading me.

“But I’m already involved in breaking the seal and I have to take the responsibility for that…”

I keep flowing my magic power to the golem and proceed with the analysis.

It’s not as bad as warding, but there is a lot of interference with analysis measures.

If it’s a time of war, if the golem’s performance is cracked, we’ll be at a big disadvantage.

It’s fairly protected…… but I have the knowledge that I got from Ebelheid accompanied by the knowledge from breaking the ward.

“It’s fine! You said he could have solved it without Abel! Let’s get the hell out of here!”

“Oh, I think I’ll be able to handle it.”

“”Eh, Rea-, really? But you don’t want to be reckless…”

I stand up and take two steps away from the golem.

“Golem, Obey.”

With a wave of his wand, the squatting golem got up.

“Oh, it moved.”

“Eh, T- that, so you can move it?”

Mea frowns uneasily.

No, there’s nothing wrong with moving it.

If you’re losing strength, just prepare the same thing.

I was going to look for weaknesses, but I stepped on the idea that I could somehow move it.

However, it’s a little incomplete.

“………Impossible, Ho-, how could you know the activation technique of Zeshum’s golem!”

Finally, an impatience began to emerge from Ebelheid.

From the looks of it, Ebelheid must have inherited the golem activation technique from his ancestors.

“No, but I saw you activate it……”

“Tha-, that’s impossible. There’s no way you could’ve seen that encryption at a glance…”

“I’ve made up for it with analysis…… In the first place, you were the one who taught me the basic types of the old elven techniques.”

“Without the vast magical power of the magic stone, the activation of Zeshum’s golem would be…”

“No, I got it done actually.”

As I continued to answer, Ebelheid closed his mouth.

With the way things are going, if we can make a good threat, we might be able to get him to surrender.

I don’t want to do anything too rough either.

Ebelheid was one of the few people I could talk to as an equal about magic.

“Guh…… Even so, You shouldn’t be able to control them because you don’t have the blood of an elf in your veins! Even if you’re just learning by example, it’s still a flash in the pan! Crush it, white giant!”

The golem controlled by Ebelheid and the one controlled by me collided and fights each other.

The one I control is being pushed back.

I’m sure the inadequacy of the magic circle means that its unable to produce its true power.

“I was a little intimidated, but this is as far as it goes…

“Golem, Obey”

I waved my wand behind the golem controlled by Ebelheid.

The third golem stands up and pushes Ebelheid’s golem down from behind.

“Tha-, that’s, that’s ridiculous! This…”

Further waving his staff.

The fourth golem, which was in a straight line, moves.

Three golems bullied a single golem.

In the meantime, there was a rumbling sound and Ebelheid’s golem broke apart.

“This can’t be…… this can’t be! With the magic capacity of a human, a single one of them might be enough…… but three of them…… There’s no way I can pull off here! By my hand, Zeshum’s longing will be fulfilled! It’s right there … just right there and I’ll reach it! My two thousand years of my blood will not be destroyed by you!”

Ebelheid takes out two magic stones.

He’s probably going to move two more golems against me.

I wave my wand faster than Ebelheid’s arm.

The magic circle that floats is three.

“Golem, Obey”

“Golem, Obey”.

After me, Ebelheid chants.

“Come on, white giant!”

Ebelheid points his arm at me.

The golem does not obey his words.

“Go, white giant! Sh*t, w-, why!”

“The golem in that area is under my control. This golem, when you activate it, it will deploy a warding that plays magic, right? You can’t overwrite it.”

The three new golems I controlled surrounded Ebelheid.

“From that position, you say you activated the golems here!? Since magic decay will occur, if the distance is opened up, the interference-type magic should lose its effect!”

The three golems stopped moving around Ebelheid.

“Give it up already. Ebelheid, you lose.”

Ebelheid looks back at the end of the road.

“It’s right there…… It’s just right and I’ll reach it…… Just a little more and I’ll get the Arrow of God…… and…… and…… and I’m not going to throw it away right here!”

Ebelheid turned his back on me and ran out.

Trying to slip through the gap between the two golems.

“Ah, H- hey! Sh*t!”

I point my wand at Ebelheid.

The golem moves to capture Ebelheid.

“Explode”

Ebelheid unleashed his magic on the floor.

There was an explosion, and smoke danced in the air.

Ebelheid used the blast to slip through the golem’s arms.

“Wha-!”

It’s a tremendous persistence.

Even though he was injured by the blast, hitting his body on the ground, Ebelheid quickly got up and run towards the back.
