Volume 12 Chapter 5 part2
Part 2
Alicia threw a magic stone.
「Die.」
It fell to the feet of the Gelmedo Imperial soldiers──
And exploded.
The result was the the same as a 《Flare Burst》.
It was enough power to blow away even a large-sized Demonic Being.
The Gelmedo Imperial soldiers had sorcery device shields equipped, but it easily broke through those magic defenses.
The enemy soldiers were turned into pieces of meat.
Rem opened her eyes wide.
「……A……amazing.」
Alicia pulled out yet another magic stone from her waist pouch.
「Shall we test out the water attribute next?」
The Gelmedo Imperial soldiers pulled back.
「Fall back! Take cover! Take cover!」
「Ara……how disappointing.」
The Imperial soldiers, which exceeded over a thousand, that advanced on the communication bridge now took some distance from the Twelfth District side of it.
The Church soldiers that were protecting the bridge raised cheers.
Rem also gave her praise.
「That was wonderful, Alicia!」
「Thank you very much, Rem-sama.」
「……Just, what in the world is that?」
「Fundamentally, it is something similar to the bullets of a Magi Gun. High level magic is sealed within, and it is released with a bit of magical power.」
「That can be done!? If we have that, wouldn't we be able to win against the Imperial Army? Not just that, even a regular soldier would be able to fight against Demonic Beings or a Demon King.」
「If the numbers could be prepared, that would be the case.」
「……Is it difficult?」
「This is the result of my Christela Duke House investing in the Royal Capital Magician's Guild and having them research it but……there is still a problem.」
「……A problem?」
Alicia made a wry smile.
「This magic stone……it is more expensive than a gold nugget of the same weight.」
「Ugh!?」
Making a double take at the large magic stone that was definitely larger than a chicken egg, Rem shrank back.
Wasn't this one piece more expensive than the amount of money that Rem earned as an Adventurer last year?
Alicia shrugged her shoulders.
「When it is created, a large amount of extremely rare precious metal is consumed.」
Therefore, it ended up being an outrageous amount of money.
Moreover, it wasn't something that could be created just by paying the money for it. Rare precious metals were rare because they couldn't be found so easily.
Rem uneasily asked a question.
「……Could it be……do you have very few left?」
「It would be nice if the Imperial Army gives up.」
Unfortunately, things weren't that sweet.
The communication bridge shook.
The sound of heavy footsteps was approaching.
Its figure suddenly appeared from the shadow of a building.
It was gigantic steel armor.
It was a Magimatic Sol whose shell was dyed purple, and its name was Violanos.
『People of the Lifelia Kingdom! I am not as kind as Aira.』
The operator was Lead Pilot Private Migurta.
It held a gigantic gun.
The Lifelia Kingdom also had Magi Guns, but its form was different from those. It was more angular.
The muzzle was pointed this way.
Rem had a bad premonition, and called out a Summoned Beast.
「Come forth, 《Iron Golem》 and 《Iron Gorilla》!」
She brought those sturdy two in front of them.
At the same time, Violano fired is Sorcery Gun. Moreover, *dodododo……", it came with a rapid-fire that couldn't be counted.
The bullets that were faster than sound disfigured the Summoned Beasts' forms.
Holes were opened in them in an instant, and they turned into black crystals and returned to Rem's hand.
「No way!?」
To think they couldn't be sufficiently used even as shields.
They were only able to buy Rem and Alicia enough time to hide in the shadow of a building.
Even so, they should be grateful to the Summoned Beasts.
It was because if she hadn't called them out, the two of them would have surely been blasted away.
Quite a lot of damage happened to the Church soldiers.
Groans and voices seeking help could be heard from everywhere.
