"<>, do you understand me?"

"......"

A red-eyed golem and a blue-eyed golem are struggling.

No, the red-eyed golem ......<> is attacking unilaterally, and the blue-eyed golem is parrying.

"Sword!"

No matter how much we called out, there was no response, and all we got in return were attacks.

"What did they do to you? ...... This might not be good."

The blue-eyed golem didn't want to hurt <>, while <> didn't care about hurting him.

"Ugh."

Finally, the blue-eyed golem's right arm is caught in the elbow joint and bent backwards.

Since the golem has no sense of pain, it is not slowed down by the pain, but the gap in combat power widens even further.

"Sword, stop!

But does not stop.

The blue-eyed golem's expression does not change, but the damage is accumulating, and its movements are clearly slowing down.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"<>!

"You son of a b*tc*, what are you going to do if there's a fire!　<

Fritz and the bandit were repeatedly exchanging magic.

Both of them lacked decisive moves due to their superior physical skills.

"Then we'll have to settle for close combat!"

Fritz, annoyed, closed the distance in a single leap. The bandit rushes to intercept him.

"Fireball!"

But Fritz caught the fireball with his sword.

He slashes at the bandit.

"Whoa!

<

Knowing this, Fritz sacrificed his sword to catch the fireball.

Of course, this is not a move that can be used many times.

But, with all his might, Fritz took this chance.

The bandit was caught in the face of the flaming sword and lost his balance as he dodged wide.

Fritz's follow-up attack came close.

"d*mn!"

The bandit caught it with his left arm. The thief caught it with his left arm, which had been fitted with a metal cage.

Fritz tries to follow up with his sword ......, but the sword, still covered with the fireball, is red-hot and finally bends.

"d*mn!"

Fritz throws away his useless sword and pulls out the dagger he carries at his waist for emergency use.

In that short time, the bandit has regained his position and has his knife in his hand.

In melee combat, a < is likely to cause damage to you as well.

<.

Fritz and the bandit begin to cut each other with short daggers and knives.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

"This golem is quite impressive.

<.

The difference in physique between the two is that of an adult and a child, or even more than that, but Edgar did not give in a single step.

Even though it was made by Erza, it was made under the guidance of Jin and using a lot of rare materials from Horai Island.

It was no less than an ordinary golem.

"Erza-sama is watching us. I can't fight like a fool."

Nevertheless, the other golem is also quite powerful.

Edgar was unable to gain an advantage in the striking game, such as fists and kicks, due to the difference in their physiques.

"Then, I will use my weapon.

<

The knife was thrust at the right eye of the , who had expected a fist strike and only pulled back slightly to connect with the next counterattack.

The shell of the Gigantopod that had been drained of magic power was only slightly weaker than adamantite. It is harder than the magi crystal used for the eyeball.

!"!!!

but <> does not seem to mind, or does not show much of a reaction.

Still, since he now has one eye, he is less sensitive to distance, and Edgar's attacks are now more likely to hit him.

* * * *

"......"

Erza simply deployed her barrier and watched Mitokoro fight.

She was disappointed and a little frustrated that she could not help.

She thought about contacting Jin and asking him for advice, but considering the time difference, it was around 4:00 a.m. in Horai Island, and it was not yet dawn yet.

So Erza decided to deal with the situation a little more on her own.

Then Moritz arrives, having heard the commotion. He is accompanied by two male servants.

"What the hell is this?

"Brother, this is ......."

Moritz can't hide his surprise as Elsa explains the situation.

"I understand the situation, but ...... how can you be so calm?"

"What?"

Erza, who had been through a lot of turmoil with Jin, seemed to have lost her composure over a few things.

"So, what should we do?"

Moritz is a competent man when it comes to political matters, but he is a complete novice when it comes to such matters.

"I can't do anything now. "I wish I could cover for my brother Fritz and Edgar, but it's difficult.

Both of them are moving so fast that it is unlikely that an outsider will be able to help them.

"No, we should have hired guards or escorts.

Moritz says regretfully, but it is too late.

"I don't know what we can do. ......"

Neither Moritz nor Elsa are good at offensive magic. And the servants were too cowed to help.

But...

"A Change of Idea: ......"

Erza recalls Jin turning engineering magic into a weapon.

"Yes, at least I might be able to help my brother.

Erza watched the battle between Fritz and the bandit.

Then she waited for Fritz to turn his back on her,

"<>"

She shines the light on the bandit's face to blind him.

"Whoa!"

Fighting with only moonlight, a nightlight in the garden, and the occasional magical luminescence, Elsa's dazzling light caught the bandit completely by surprise.

After a second or so of illumination, the light was extinguished, but the dazzled eyes did not return so quickly.

"<>"

Erza immediately turns on a light that is not too bright.

"Well done, Elsa!"

Fritz has successfully subdued and neutralized the temporarily dazed bandit.
