“The start up is slow for the old model after all.”
I heard a voice from the black shadow that appeared from under the debris.
Its form is similar to a person, but it’s not a person obviously.
Slender limbs, a long and thin body. (TN: Slenderman?)
Its head is round.
It’s making an expressionless look similar to a noh mask. (TN: here, slightly creepy though)
It resembles the golem earlier.
That size seems to fit into the body of the golem just now exactly
It can’t be that the self-destruction just now was an explosion for this guy contained within the trunk to come out?
No, rather than thinking about such a thing, the golem before our eyes?
The head of this fellow is the problem.
It’s going along a strange line, but isn’t that similar to the orb in the basement of the church headquarters in the Imperial Capital?
It’s the thing I have been feeling from yesterday morning
Why did it get involve in such a place?
That, was the head?
You……why are you here?”
I was addressed by the golem while observing it
Properly, it came echoing from the orb head
It’s a somewhat funny sight
Why am I here?
“I came to help this youth. That’s all
Who are you? The demon race or something?”
I point at Celes behind me and answered without taking my eyes off the golem.
And, I ask a question in return
“…….Hmm. I didn’t ask about such a thing, but it’s fine.”
Golem mutters so and suddenly took a stance
This fellow!
Although I answered, it totally ignored my question
“Oi! Wait a minute you——”
I tried to continue talking a little more, but the golem rushed at me without caring
The golem up till a while ago was faster than it looks too, but this fellow is even faster
Besides, it’s hard to read the trajectory of the arm wrapping around like a whip, that cannot be the joint of a person
Still, I found an opening and cut deeply while dodging it somehow
Did the golem conclude that it’s unavoidable too? It guards with its arm
I recall a single blow to the huge golem a while ago
Even if it’s guarded, hitting the arm like this will lop it off!
[Kakiin], a high pitched sound echos. However, far from cutting the arm, my sword was repelled
Moreover, the portion of the blade used to cut at it was broken
AAAAAAAAAaaaaa!?
I, It’s a lie, are you serious!?
Even though this sword is expensive!
What the hell
Despite strengthening it with magical power, the blade is missing
Although magical power was loaded into the sword of holy silver, the result turns out to be like this, I seem to lose my confidence
“O, Oniisan! I think the armor is probably a special object that negates magical power!
Therefore, even if you load magical power, I don’t think you are able to strengthen the weapon!”
Celes behind me gave an advice to the me who received a shock
Magic nullification?
Ooh, If so it certainly has nothing to do with strengthening
But, she sure understands it well, such a thing
“Hee. The elf there. You know it well.
……No, I see, it’s because you fired magic into my external armor many times.”
While letting the arm which repelled my blow go limp, the golem talks to us
This fellow ignores the words of people, and yet, talks on his own accord
But, the external armor huh
Of course, that would be that huge golem state I think
It was this fellow in that huge golem after all
Looking properly, it doesn’t seem like my blow was simply repelled
A cut, more or less, was set in the spot of the armor which received my sword
Although my sword was broken too, it’s a draw if I can cut the armor of my opponent
……It’s a sad consolation
But, what’s to be done?
It’s troublesome with an armor that neutralize magical power
However, there cannot be such a convenient stuff that can really completely neutralize it properly
If it’s the Godly sword of destruction, it might possibly go through
No, let’s use my head before using the trump card without reservation
It’s not the case that my attacks are completely ineffective
Then, in the comics I read when I was a kid, when fighting against such an armor, how did it go?
That is of course, a situation of aiming at the joints portion
Okay, shall I try it once?
Making up my mind, I reduced the distance between us, and attack aiming at the joint portion, particularly the elbow
The golem too, was it because it knew of the event that came naturally? It doesn’t let me aim at it easily
Is there something, something to distract this fellow?
When thinking so, the movement of the golem suddenly stopped
No, not that it stopped, it seemed to be stopped
The area around the golem’s feet was frozen
“Damn!”
Momentarily, the golem howled and turn it’s focus to my back
This is of course Celes’s action
It’s now.
