Shortly before Nidouble and the others arrived at the bathhouse.
"With that body, you must be better than Archelle!"
The masked approaches Belialus.
"So, why don't you wait ...... for me to help you make a homunculus?"
Lockele stops moving.
"So we don't have to go to the trouble of creating a homunculus, we can just ...... have its body. ...... hmm."
"Wait! What are you talking about?
Lockele started to move again. His eyes, peering out of his mask, seem to be filled with a swallowing glint.
"It's all right. I won't kill you. We're just going to take your body.
I can't just nod my head and say, "Yes, you can!"
Driven by fear, Belial tried to run away. But he was stopped in his tracks by the words of Lockele.
"If you refuse, I have no choice but to use Archelle's body.
"What?
It's like he's holding his sister hostage. Belialus stopped for a moment.
"<>"
"Aah!"
A <> spell shot up from the ceiling, knocking him to the floor.
Roclé carries him to the workbench and fastens his arms and legs with restraint belts.
He then began to operate some kind of complicated magic machine (magi-machine).
The man was in a state of shock.
600012, stop it!
The 600012 that came with Nidaburu called out to him.
The masked turns around.
Through Jin-double's eyes, Jin could see that the magical skin hidden under the mask was about to collapse.
"600012, get out of my way!"
the masked No. 600012 shouted. Jin saw that the behavior was unstable. It was jerky, and there was obviously a lot of unnecessary movement.
(Is this the evil of using <>? ....... Is it affecting a part of the control system and a very small part of the logic system ......?)
Jin who is not in the field can observe calmly. The reaction of the masked one, 600012, seemed to have a slight time lag, and its pseudo-emotion seemed to be very high.
"Don't stop! Well, the interloper there is confusing the 600012, isn't he? ......<"
The magic that paralyzed Belialus rains down from the ceiling. But it has no effect on Nidouble and Reiko, who are automata, not to mention preventing it.
"What ...... is that?"
"600012, that's enough, that's enough."
But the masked 600012, Rokure, will not listen.
"Uh-uh, you people are making 600012 crazy! Golem 7410, get them out of here!
<, the 600012, but Nidouble and Reiko are not limited to that. Rokure ordered what appeared to be a generic Golem to get rid of them.
"Wait!"
Despite the silence of Golem 600012, the two meter tall, copper-colored Golem first attacked Jin Double and then Reiko. It first attacked Jin-Douple.
"It's too noisy!"
Jin-Double was not Jin, but it was his creation. Reiko defended Jin-Double, and intercepted Golem 7410.
There was a resounding "clang" and the synthetic nephrite floor cracked.
Reiko had thrown Golem 7410 away with an "arm throw.
However, Golem 7410 got back up, even though it was thrown with such force that it would normally have been torn to pieces. The body of Golem 7410 was not distorted much.
(It is surprisingly strong.)
Jin in Horaijima was a little interested in the material.
"Haha, that's not enough to stop Golem 7410!
Rokure shouts. Hearing this, Jin is reminded of Elena's madness in the past.
"Reiko, finish him off!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Golem7410 crashed to the floor again. Reiko jumped up and gave him a heel drop.
And it was not just a simple heel drop, but a heel drop with a <>.
The heel drop, which was performed not with a weight of 30 kilograms, but with his own body fixed in the air, destroyed Golem 7410's head, and even sent its body completely crashing to the floor. The heel drop was so powerful that it destroyed Golem 7410's head and caused its body to completely sink into the floor.
"U,un-nuh ......"
Rokure, who may or may not have teeth, gritted his teeth in frustration.
Then, No. 600012 from Jin's side immediately called out to him.
"Don't say it. I am telling you to stop. Our mission has already been accomplished.
Finally, the words reach Rokure.
"...... What! ...... what do you mean ......?"
The madness seems to have subsided.
In a tone of admonishment, 600012 continues.
"Here is the one to whom we must fulfill the will of our .
Pointing at Nidaburu, the unmasked one, 600012 says, "He is the one who is to fulfill the will of the <>.
"You call him the 'successor'?"
The masked one, 600012, sounded doubtful.
"Yes. < left me a legacy. <
"I know. But how do you know he is qualified?
"He is Jin Nidor, Magecraft Master. Is there anyone in the world more qualified than he?"
"...... certainly has a point. You mean he has the technology to create followers that will keep Golem 7410 at bay. ......"
"Yes. I think we're finally getting it."
* * * *
"......"
Jin, who was kept out of the mosquito net, did not understand what he was talking about. But....
The old man gave his interpretation to Jin.
"It is certainly possible, but ......"
"Hmmm ......"
Anyway, to tell the truth, Hitoshi would rather not be burdened with something he doesn't understand.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"But how do you make the final decision on whether you are truly qualified or not?"
The masked No. 600012 replies.
"Simple. He has the . That's enough.
The crystal cube he borrowed from 700672 some time ago. Jin did not think too much about what it meant, but it seemed to be important to the 600012.
"Jin-dono, will you show me the crystal cube?
"Yes, sir."
Nidouble pulled out the crystal cube from his inside pocket and showed it to me.
"Oh, I knew it was .......
"That's ......."
The two 600012s suddenly kneeled down.
"What?
I had seen them via Golem, but the reaction of the two in front of me was beyond my imagination.
"<>, but ...... I miss it, I really miss the magic power."
"...... you who possess it must be <>."
The two 600012s extended their hands toward Nidouble.
The masked 600012 reached out to the front of the double, and the other 6000012 reached out to the side. The masked 600012 was facing Nidouble from the front, and the other 6000012 was facing him from the side.
"Now is the time to fulfill the will of my <>.
Thank you for this chance to meet you.
"<>"
Send info.
"......"
Before Nidouble could stop them, the two 600012s used Send Info. The two 600012s used < before Jin Double could stop them.
