Koko wa Ore ni Makasete Saki ni Ike to Itte kara 10 Nen ga Tattara Densetsu ni Natteita Chapter 132

Taking Back Kathe's House

I jumped off of Kathe's back and immediately started to run towards the entrance of the palace .

“Beep-beep-beep . ”

In spite of still being a good distance away, the machines were already reacting to me .

They had very high detection abilities .

“…Now I just need to know what their attacks and defense ability are like . ”

I muttered to myself as I ran .

I had seen three of them from above .

They had been flashing a green light at first, but now those lights had turned red .

The color probably meant they had been alerted .

“Beep-beep-beep . ”

Their beeping grew louder .

–Rttttta…

The attacks came at a speed too fast for my eyes to follow .

It was likely the attack of small metal ammunition that Kathe had talked about .

I quickly jumped to the side .

Just then, something rushed passed me .

And so I ran in a zigzag as I made my way to the entrance .

I was able to dodge ninety percent of them, but the rest caught me .

I had no choice but to use a magic barrier to stop them .

I looked at the metal clumps that were stopped . They were the size of the tip of my finger .

There was no magic in them .

“Even ordinary metal is scary when it travels at this speed . ”

And so I decided that the combat ability for the machines was rather high .

It would be one thing to fight them outside, but Eric and Goran would not be able to avoid getting hit if they were indoors .

I should probably use some magic protection once they came down .

Just as I was about to rush through the entrance, more magic machines flooded out from the building .

“I guess this makes things a little easier for me…”

I muttered as I shot a Magic Bullet into the first machine .

–Clang!

A large dent appeared on it . But it did not stop .

“You really are tough . ”

I tried shooting a second bullet at the same spot . This time it went silent .

“So it takes two bullets of this power…”

I would have to use a much stronger magic bullet in order to one-shot them .

“It seems like there are still more inside . ”

Ten machines had come out . But Kathe had seen thirty .

So there should be nearly twenty left .

And I did not want to fight them inside of the building .

“…I'll lure them out with an attack . ”

Kathe had used her fire breath .

That suggested that the things she kept in the ruins were probably strong to fire .

And even if it didn't hurt the machines, it would be effective on the goblins and vampires .

“Eat this!”

I purposely raised my voice to try and get their attention .

Then I launched my strongest fireball over the heads of the machines and straight into Kathe's palace .

–GGGGGOOOGGHHH!!

Flames burst from the windows of the building .

“Hm? Did I go too far?”

“What are you doing!!”

Kathe's protest boomed from the sky .

It should be alright since the place is strong to fire .

I dodged the attacks of the machines and waited .

Still, no more machines left the building .

“…Had Kathe been exaggerating again?”

There was a possibility that it had not taken as many of them to force her to retreat .

That would mean that the ten machines outside were all of them .

“Kathe . There aren't many here, but use your wind breath…”

It was just as I started to ask her .

“Beep-beep-beep . ”

Magic machines suddenly appeared on the roof of the palace .

Not only that, but they were coming from the back of the building and from behind me as well .

Before I knew it, they had completely surrounded me .

Apparently, there had been many of them outside of the palace as well .

“How many?”

I couldn't count them all, but it seemed to be close to fifty .

“Here I go!”

“Kathe, wait!”

“Alright . ”

I should have them gather together more densely .

And so I started taking them down with magic bullets .

I had to use a lot of power to one-shot them .

I also wanted to see what kind of damage my sword would do .

And so I slashed at them with the Devil King Sword .

“They're hard, but not unbreakable . ”

And so I took down three with bullets and three with the sword . By now, the rest of them were swarming tightly around me .

“Kathe, now! Aim it directly at me!”

“Understood!”

–GGGOOOOORRGGHH!!

It was more like a wall of air than a violent wind . Like a giant hammer .

I cast a magic barrier that shut off the effects of any other magic . And then I stood my ground .

The giant clumps of metal that were the machines were lifted into the air .

A tornado had erupted and was sucking them in . They crashed loudly into each other .

Kathe's breath caused more than a tornado .

Blades of wind that were strong with magic cut through whatever was inside .

The four limbs of the machines were torn off and their hard shells were shredded .

They smashed into each other all the while .

Even a strong machine could not survive that .

“This is incredible . ”

I couldn't help but whisper .

Kathe really was a powerful dragon .

When her breath subsided, Kathe descended to the ground .

At the same time, the scraps of machine fell down from the sky with a loud crash .

“Kathe, that was amazing . ”

“You too, Locke… You came out completely unharmed . ”

As we laughed about this, Eric and Goran jumped off of Kathe's back .

“I guess we weren't needed…”

“Well, that's not exactly a bad thing…”

Eric and Goran muttered .
