Then they plunged their hands into the wounds, ripped it off piece by pieces, and began to eat them.
『This is the first time I’m seeing something like this. I think that’s how a clay golem evolves into a stone golem』
The pilot continued to watch with an academic passion.
Then a reddish stone golem appeared and began to chase the clay golems away.
『Did it came to save him?』
Not caring whether or not the Grim reaper replied, he spoke his thoughts.
A white-colored stone golem lies on its side, covered in cracks.
The reddish stone golem, which had come to its side, dropped to one knee and put a hand on its shattered shoulder.
「Oaah!」
Then, with a roar, he wrenched off its arm by force.
He chewed and chewed as if it were eating the meat of a chicken thighs.
『How merciless…』
『The white one’s still alive. Uwaa it’s howling like crazy』
The frontier Knights were all showing a strong interest.
The only one who felt indifferent was the Grim reaper.
(This is a bit difficult)
The number of stone golems has increased. And the two Knights of the Frontier Knights are not as powerful as expected.
The clay golem that had just appeared from the side hole. He left it to them to deal with it, but he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
(Fumu)
He thinks about it as he wields his weapon, the Death scythe.
For me, this much is still not enough, but these two are different. It would be dangerous to descend any further.
(There’s no choice, I’ll have to send them back to the surface and dive alone)
While having such a thought, he looked down to the feasting scene one layer below. The reddish stone golem was about to finish eating the white golem’s arm.
Just as he looked at it without any particular thought, a rain of light suddenly fell on his vision.
(What’s happening!?)
After a moment of thought, he realized that it was a long-range magic attack.
Red, white, yellow, and blue, various colors of light arrows poured down without pause.
(Take cover)
He signaled to the two Knights behind him with his hand and pushed them into a shallow pit.
The frontier Knights, who had come to their senses, immediately followed the Grim reaper’s instructions.
After a downpour of light subsides, they can see the cowering stone golem below them. Both of it have been crushed, shattered, and eventually stopped moving.
(On top of high firepower, it’s also very accurate)
The magic attack that was cast earlier only hit the stone golems.
And with a single blow, they were rendered powerless.
(Just who are they?)
Although he asked himself that, he already had a guess of who it was.
A powerful long-ranged magic attack. It was the Kingdom’s secret weapon, the Ghost Knight.
But then, his eyebrows furrowed and a deep vertical crease appeared between his brows.
(So there wasn’t just one of them)
No matter how one looks at it, this is not the work of a single Knight. His expression became even more bitter as he realized his assumption.
He and the Margrave had assumed that there was only one Ghost Knight out there. But when he thinks back at it again, there is no evidence that shows there’s only one of them.
(First of all, let’s deal with the reality first)
He switched gears and confirmed the situation.
However, the vertical wrinkles between his eyebrows and the bitter expression on his face did not disappear, in fact, it became more serious.
(This is a bad place to intercept multiple Ghost Knights)
A narrow slope in a mortar shaped space. In this place with bad footing, they could get shot down from above.
The terrain was the worst he could have imagined.
He had only planned to fight the golems, so he hadn’t taken into account the fact that he would be hit by a magic attack from above.
(I have to do something about this situation)
At this point, they would not even be able to see the enemy.
Their only saving grace was that the other side didn’t seem to have noticed them here either. Their current position was close to the bottom, so it must have been a blind spot.
(How should we move from here out?)
The Frontier Knights, like himself, were hiding in a small hold that could not even be called a cave.
After confirming how they were doing, the Grim reaper turned his eyes to the top of the backlight.
