Volume 8 - Chapter 13 – Jin’s Wrath (1/2)
08-13 Jin’s Wrath
“Guard three, neutralized.”
“Front gate sentry two, neutralized.”
In the blink of an eye, the three guards watching the stronghold’s surroundings and the two guarding the entrance were neutralized. The means was through [Stun Rod] which was similar to [Stun].
Applied directly on skin it could produce 50,000 volts, and if used on someone with a thick leather coat it could produce up to 500,000 volts.
The golems of the SP, alias ninja unit, did not have staves but instead were capable of stunning the enemy by shooting electricity through their own hands.
“Back gate sentry two, neutralized.”
In front of them who were hidden using [Stealth] on top of being multiple times stronger and faster than humans the personnel of the stronghold were neutralized one by one.
“The number of people inside is 32. Currently 12 have been neutralized.”
Using their internal ManaComs, one after another they sent reports to Reiko.
“Conjectured structure of three basement floors and three aboveground floors. The material is granite. The building is relatively new.”
They also send detailed reports of the building’s aspects. Simultaneously they were also transmitted to Laozi on Hourai Island, while Reiko did her own personal analysis of the situation.
“There is a reaction on the second basement floor that appears to correspond to Elsa.”
“Their leader is thought to be on the second floor upstairs in the stronghold.”
“Currently 19 people have been neutralized. There is a possibility that they will soon notice.”
“Alright, give maximum priority to safeguarding Elsa.”
“Roger.”

“What’s wrong? What happened!”
“I don’t know! The sentries have disappeared! The people who went to get in contact with the guards didn’t come back!”
“Is it an enemy raid?”
“Entirely unknown, sir!”
“Alright, go on alert status one!”

“…?”
Elsa woke up to a ruckus.
“Is something, going, on?”
At that time, two black-masked people came down the stairs.
“She’s there.”
“Ah, there’s nothing abnormal here.”
They exchanged lines after seeing that Elsa was inside her cell. The one of them, and immediately after the other fell down.
“?”
In front of Elsa who didn’t know what’s what, two golems appeared.
They were both female-types, approximately the same height as Elsa. One of them spoke.
“Elsa-san, no doubt?”
“Ah, yes.”
After hearing that, the other golem appeared to make a report to someone who was not here.
“Elsa-san discovered, she does not appear to have great wounds. She has been jailed, now beginning rescue operation.”
That female-type golem then laid her hands on the cell’s bars, or so Elsa thought, but then the golem completely bent the heavy iron bars.
“A, mazing.”
The gap in the bars was plenty large enough for a person to go through, then the golem stepped inside and,
“Excuse me.”
She said and twisted off the restraints on Elsa’s arms and legs. However,
“It’s very unlikely anyone but the chief can remove that choker, please endure it for a bit longer.”
“Eh? Chi, ef?”
“Yes. The person who made us.”
“Could, that, person, be.”
“Our Father, Nidou Jin.”
“Jin, kun…”
