Volume 5 - Chapter 21 – The Secret Weapon (1/2)
05-21 The Secret Weapon
The battle between Schwarz Ritter and the two mystery golems continued.
First, Schwarz Ritter moved to confront the golems one by one, and succeeded.
In a one-on-one fight, Schwarz Ritter held the advantage.
Schwarz Ritter kicked one of the mystery golems with all of his strength, sending flying and crashing against the cliff face.
“Good work! Now attack the lower half of the body!”
Schwarz Ritter obeyed his master Reinhardt’s commands, and let loose a series of kicks aimed at the other golem’s legs.
Jin felt admiration watching those moves.
“Hmm, excellent movements. The joints have a very wide range of motion. That’s evidence that the amount of joints is very close to a human’s.”
The mystery golem lost its foothold and fell down due to Schwarz Ritter’s sweeping kicks aimed at both legs.
In preparation to fight the approaching second golem, Schwarz Ritter gave the off-balance golem a back kick to finish it off.
“A flexible body, as I thought.”
Jin admired the golem again. Schwarz Ritter had the most humanlike joints he had seen on a golem since coming to this world. In other words, it would be easy for a human to program the motions. That’s why the movements flowed so naturally.
“But Father’s golems still come out on top.”
Reiko whispered something like that when Jin praised Schwarz Ritter. For Reiko, seeing her master who’s a supreme craftsman praise someone else didn’t make her happy.
The golem who was smashed with a back kick had a huge dent on its abdomen.
“Great, just press on like that!
In response to Reinhardt’s instructions, Schwarz Ritter put all of his strength into a tackle. A dull sound echoed.
138
The golem with a dented abdomen took the tackle head on, and it launched over ten meters away alongside the cliff wall. Its right arm and left leg tore off, and it could no longer stand.
“Good work, now finish the other one off!”
Schwarz Ritter grabbed the golem that was somehow still standing by the head, lifted it up, and smashed it against the cliff.
It made a staggering metallic noise. The golem sank five centimeters into the rock, and its limbs tore off. It could no longer fight.
“Alright, I’m going to take out the Control Cores of these guys, so help me out.”
Reinhardt ordered and searched the chest of the golem in the wall with Craft Magic, then the Magi Crystal was extracted.
Then he walked towards the other golem. Schwarz Ritter walked along with him.
At that moment.
“Father, something’s coming.”
Reiko’s voice. Before Jin got time to warn Reinhardt, they appeared.
“My my, long time no see, Reinhardt.”
“You’re…”
A golem a bit shorter than Schwarz Ritter at around 180 centimeters appeared, along with a man.
“Well, we’ve got our differences, but for now I don’t have any business with you. The one I’ve got business with is…”
The man, Valentino, looked at Jin with eyes full of hatred.
“You commoner bastard.”
＊ ＊ ＊
Valentino had come here. His goal was clear.
His target was the man who had uncovered his crimes. In other words, Jin.
“Schwarz Ritter.”
As Reinhardt was about to command Schwarz Ritter to catch Valentino, he said,
“Give it up. Your golem is indeed excellent. But, it’s just a helpless doll in front of this Albus.”
Hearing that didn’t stop Reinhardt in the slightest.
“Jin is my friend. Of course I’ll defend him.”
He said, and gave the order to Schwarz Ritter.
“Protect Jin from that golem!”
That just caused Valentino to smile faintly and laugh,
“That’s fine too, I’ve been meaning to test Albus’s capabilities.”
Jin and Reiko stood together to protect Elsa and the other travelers.
“Father, that golem possesses something that causes my analysis to fail.”
“What?”
Reiko reported such a thing.
