Chapter 192: Intruder (1/2)
Tyler appeared in a large white room after forcing his way through the distorted space that was yet to recover from the force teleportation spell the ones that kidnapped Liz had used. There had been a bit of a time lag in his transfer here because he needed to destroy several layers of defenses along the way. Due to that, the person that had laid those defenses should already be aware of their destruction and thus, he expects to face a well-prepared enemy.
Although if that was all, there would be nothing for him to worry about as long as they don't grow cold feet and try to run away with Liz. It would be bad if they also tried to use her against him but he had a plan for that. He also couldn't approach this recklessly and needed to do his best in controlling his anger until he has confirmed Liz's safety.
Taking a look at his surroundings, he noticed he was in a completely white room with no windows and little to no ventilation. There was a large intermediate Magic circle carved on the ground that seems to be a teleportation circle. This must've been a teleportation transit that connects to various other key locations in the Brimstone family's region.
The room also seems to have its defenses against forced teleportation. Which was why he had found it a bit difficult to breakthrough. Of course, he already had a connection due to the spatial distortion so it was a lot easier than trying to forcefully teleport here on his own even if he was aware of the coordinates.
Upon his arrival, he had immediately sensed he was being watched but since he hadn't felt any presence near him, he judged it was some kind of remote viewing. His eyes traced the point at which that feeling came from and he just glared at it for a moment before deciding against doing anything to make whoever it was nervous so they don't take it out on Liz before he locates them.
He ignored the feeling and walked forward when suddenly the only door to the room was flung open and more than 20-30 metal or were they mechanical golems flooded in and surrounded him. Their design made them look like high-tech robots.
Their appearance had completely shocked Tyler as he didn't even try to stop them from encircling him. He had also failed to sense their presence as even with Spatial perception, he had only been searching for life forms and must've unintentionally ignored their existence.
The Mech golems all wielded high-quality weapons like swords and shields with a few of them wielding spears. Their movement was also fluid as though they were living creatures and Tyler could not help but be impressed as his anger was slowly calmed down by the thoughts he had next.
'I want one.'

Without a chant, the horde of mechanical golems all cast the same spell as countless condensed balls of flames was hurled at Tyler from every direction. There was no means of avoiding the attacks and Tyler was surprised yet again. It was an amazing thing, the fact that robots could cast spells was not something he had even considered.
It seemed he had truly underestimated the resources of the Great Five and the moment he had stepped into one of their facilities, it felt like he had entered another world. Sure, this was kind of a blow to Tyler who had assumed the technological advancement brought by the heroes and reincarnates had not fully reached the demon continent.
Apparently, it would seem like the Great Five were hiding most of these advancements for their selfish purposes.
However, just because Tyler was impressed by the golem's ability to use Magic and surprised by the advancement of the Great Five didn't mean he was vulnerable to such attacks as Universal Barrier was already activated and non of their Tier 3 spells had any hope of penetrating.
As the Mech golems saw their ranged attacks fail, they immediately and without hesitation, switched tactics as they lunged at him in a tight formation that gave him no room to escape.
”What a shame.”
If possible, he would've liked to keep these robots for himself but he didn't have any time to mess around and didn't plan on holding back. He would just have to settle for taking back their junks for Ragdek to analyze and reverse engineer. Perhaps with the help of Bungo.
•Spatial Vortex•
At his command and with Tyler at the epicenter. A tornado of spatial force was created around him as it dragged and rip apart most of the Mech Golems that attacked him first. The others seem to have realized the situation and had stopped their advance as they reassessed their strategy.
The Mech golems seemed to be quite calculating as they quickly abandoned any attack methods that didn't show results instead of just blindly charging into their doom. They then cast another fire spell at the spiraling vortex perhaps trying to destroy it although those attacks were just swallowed up by the gap in space created by the spiraling vortex.
Tyler sighed and canceled the skill as it didn't have the range he needed to take out the remaining 10 plus Mech golems. He used his magic bullets on them and only the ones wielding shields managed to survive. They charged at him once more and he quickly ended the fight with a few more Magic bullets that aimed for their cores instead of their heads.
With that, his welcoming party had grinder to a halt as he stored the bodies of a few of the mostly intact Mech golems for future purposes and walked out of the room. Using Magic sense and Spatial perception, he made a mental map of the facility and Tyler was amazed at what he found.
