Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~ Chapter 73

Chapter 73

The shaking of the ruins grew more and more violent .

I wonder what was the part of the technique I shattered?

This isn’t so much a collapse, I think it is something else……

“Hey, Abel! Hurry and get on my back, come on!”

Maizen calls out to me while bending down .

…… I was the one who suggested it first, but it’s kind of extra embarra.s.sing to be actively approached .

It might have been a good thing that the people in the investigation team were being put to sleep .

“Ah…… just wait a minute . That beast-shaped golem, it should be able to move if it’s repaired a bit . If we deactivate it once, release the wards and then reactivate it, we can use it as a leg . ”

“Don’t be embarra.s.sed now . Even I, well…… I know it’s not a very cool picture . ”

N, no, it’s not about being embarra.s.sed, I simply thought it was faster this way…… .

I use wind magic to drop the beast-shaped golem that was stuck to the wall .

I removed the part that was leaking magic power due to the impact and removed the control unit that had been ruined in detail to simplify it .

This will only allow it to make simple movements, but even I should be able to control it for that reason .

I used alchemy to create a high-density hydeem magi-metal and applied it to strengthen parts and damaged areas .

In about ten minutes, the hydeem magi-metal will disperse and return to spirit and air, and the golem itself will become useless…… . but if I can hold it that long, I can fulfill my purpose this time .

Because of the lack of time, I finished it in about three minutes, so there is a lot of roughness, and a lot of room for improvement, which I regret, but I can’t help it .

“Golem, obey . ”

“Goooooooooh . ”

The beast-shaped golem answered my chant and began to move .

“It-, it’s fixed already? In a moment like this…”

“Well, I basically just cut it off and reconnected it to the rest of the body . It’s pretty simplistic, and I didn’t completely repair it . The power itself has increased, but the details are degraded, and I’m just covering up for it with magic so soon it will break again . ”

“I don’t understand…… but it’s possible to use it . ”

“I wanted to make sure the control unit was properly restored, not simplified . It seems that this golem was not very efficient in terms of magic power from the start . Maybe it’s because of the time period, or maybe it’s because of the race of elves… . The rate of attrition in the circulation of magic power . ”

“I’ll listen later! I’ll ask as much as I can later, but for now, just move it!”

“Tha-, that’s right . ”

Cracks were spreading across the ruins, mainly in the area I had damaged by hitting with the silver-ball .

The vibrations were also getting louder and louder .

I climbed on top of the beast-shaped golem, along with Maizen .

I waved my staff in front of me, and the beast-shaped golem ran out following my wave .

“Abel, at the entrance, it may be a little useful …””

I wave my wand and float three magic circles .

I don’t have to worry about damaging the ruins anymore, so I can use my magic as much as I want .

“Wind, form, blade . ”

I shot out three blades of wind and collapsed the wall of the exit area .

The exit widened . The beast-shaped golem jumped into it .

“Hmph … I can only make it move simple, so it’s a bit troublesome when there are obstacles . Maizen, what did you say earlier?”

“… . N, no, it’s nothing . Hey, if you can break down the wall that easily, you didn’t have to break the wards, did you?”

“What? Yeah, I’m sure I could have handled it with brute force . But Ebelheid didn’t seem to like it . ”

“Maybe they just didn’t take you seriously…”

I don’t think so……

I did feel lightly swept away, though .

“921…… 922…… 923…… . ”

When I returned to the aisle, Mea was standing there, mumbling and counting .

Her expression is dark . It’s kind of scary .

“Ah! you-, you’re back at last! Are you okay, Abel? Geez, Mea is so worried……”

Mea looked up, perhaps noticing the sound of the beast-shaped golem running .

While explaining the situation to Mea, I activated the other golems from one end of the line .

I let the golem hold the investigators and the others, and let Mea ride the beast-type golem .

I fired a barrage of magic while we’re moving and chose a path that would allow us to advance as quickly as possible by breaking obstacles and narrow pa.s.sages .

While I was doing so, the shaking of the entire ruins was increasing in intensity .

I ran out of the ruins, followed by ten golems coming out after me .

Wherever they were hiding, I saw a trio of goblins that seemed to have escaped from the ruins, running into the forest .

Once outside, I got far enough away from them to avoid getting caught in the collapse .

I made the golems stop moving and had the investigators line up .

“We, we made it in time…… I thought I was going to die…”

Maizen exhales in relief as he looks at the ruins .

What was the Arrow of G.o.d, after all?

Was it a staff…… . . or was it, as the word suggests, an arrow imbued with magical power?

It must be something dangerous, but it was still something I wanted to see at a glance .

“Abel, what is that?””

Mea points to what I’m holding in my hand .

“Ahhh, a piece of wall . ”

It flew off when I crushed it, so I caught it by using magic to suppress its power .

Still, what an unusual ore .

It must have been refined and created by the elves, Ebelheid said .

As I experimented by flowing magic power over the palm of my hand, it became a little lighter .

If the magic power flowed in the same wavelength, would it be less affected by gravity?

No, I think it’s more accurate to say that it creates buoyancy .

Depending on the application, it could be used for something else .

“Hm? Buoyancy?”

It had stuck with me since I heard the story .

Ebelheid had said that the elves who had been dropped into the land two thousand years ago had built the fortress in order to retake the Sky Country of Alfheim .

But if that was the case, then what was the purpose of building a fortress here, so far from the Sky Country of Alfheim .

I thought it was just to gather magical stones to shoot the divine arrows, and that he was saying that as a ‘procedure to retake the Sky Country of Alfheim,’ but even so, it was a little unclear how he said it .

I looked back at the ruins, wondering if it was possible .

The magic formula engraved on the walls of the ruins began to glow all at once, and doors here and there that had been sealed off began to open by themselves .

Then, with a loud explosion, the ruins of Zeshum emerged high into the sky .
