“Looks like, it ends here, de gozaru na.”

Just as Chrome speaks those words, his body is run through by the needle barrier without any resistance. Kuro and Wako, having though he would have defended against the attack, are left staring in shock at the anticlimactic end.

“Kuro, look— defeated him—!”
“Wako-sama! The enemy has been slain!”

Kuro and Wako immediately turn around upon hearing Rin and Iwa call out. The Chrome who was doing battle in Kousuke’s guise had been defeated and is gradually turning into dirt.

“It can’t be!” They look to the front and find the Chrome that had been run through by the barrier is also turning into dirt. “Kuh, he got us, wa!”

From the fact that both of Chrome’s bodies there are clones, the 2 both understand that the true body has long since absconded with the evil god’s heart.

“My [Pseudo・Perception] is also unable to detect anything. He more likely than not possesses a special ability or technique for concealing his presence.”
“So it is like that… While it may prove futile, I shall enact a search, wa. Iwa! Contact the security company and have them cooperate. Spread a net around the area!”
“Haa!”

Iwa pulls out a smart phone from within his clothes and contacts the security firm being run under the umbrella of Wako’s company.

“Umu…”

Kuro is baffled by Wako’s appearance as a manager. She who was once revered as the mountain god enshrined on the banks of Kamui Kotan is nothing like how she used to be. At the same time, he continues to maintain vigilant watch on the land surrounding them with [Pseudo・Perception].

—Imagine a noble diamond here—

The Fairy All Seed, an object which creates the fairy most suitable for the user, has two characteristics.

First, it creates a fairy with an alinement that best matches the user. A practitioner with a penchant towards fire will receive a fire fairy. A practitioner apt with multiple elements will likewise receive a fairy suited for multiple elements.

Second, the fairy created will have traits that take after the user’s constitution and characteristics. A practitioner whose forte is barrier techniques will receive a fairy interested in barrier techniques. A practitioner talented in manipulating magical power will receive a fairy who excels at manipulating magical power.

As for Urd, a spirit born from a Fairy All Seed, she received those characteristics more prominently.

[Here I go—! ‘Triple Barrier’!]

The strengthened ability to acquire knowledge from danger as granted by god. That ability, Urd herself also inherited it. All the techniques Kosuke can use, she can construct on her own.

[I can do this too—! ‘Scatter Flame Bullets’!]

Near, despite being astonished that Nia can use techniques, transmits the constructed technique into the golem through spirit thread.

[A barrier next, please.]
[Okay—! ‘Triple Barrier’!]

Urd, who moves at her own pace, gathers a massive amount a magical power from the natural world and pours it into Near while composing formulas for a triple barrier and scattered flame bullet as requested.

“Hey, you two, what’ve you been up to?”

They are acting from the top of the desk in Kousuke’s room.

—Imagine 2 noble diamonds here—

Over half of the 50 steel golems have already been turned into iron sand. Ferum cannot accept the truth unfolding before her eyes and can only stand in place dumbfounded.

“Why, something like this…”

It all started with control being stolen away from one of her steel golems. That golem overwhelmed the multiple other steel golems with an eye-opening display of hand-to-hand combat despite being a golem of equal performance as them. Still, despite losing a number of steel golems, Ferum is gradually shifting the state of battle to her favor through violence in numbers.

Then comes the middle part of the battle where an unbelievable phenomenon occurs.

“How is the golem… using magic…?”

All of a sudden, the golem surrounds itself with a barrier. That isn’t all, as the battle progresses, it launches flame bullets and flying slashes from its hands.

“This is my first time seeing a technique reveal through a golem, desu.”
“Theoretically, it’s possible, but it’s something that can actually be done!?”

Ferum isn’t the only one. Owl and Uruna are just as astonished.

“Not only was I deprived of my control… techniques are being sent via the magical thread… impossible.”

Ferum, upon muttering that, swallows her breath at the capabilities of the practitioner she is facing. Her opponent isn’t just skilled at usurping control but has also proven to be highly proficient at manipulating magical power. On top of that, through the medium of thin magical thread and with the body of a golem which is vastly different from one of flesh and blood in terms of maneuverability and senses, she is able to invoke techniques. The magical power control required for such a divine feat would drive anyone insane.

“A monster…”

Ferum, while getting disoriented at a sight of someone surpassing normal human limits and entering the divine, once more invokes her [History of Iron Manufacturing(Iron History)]. Then, by utilizing the iron sand of the remaining iron golems surrounding her, she creates a massive iron ingot that she molds into a gigantic golem.

“This time… for real!” She gives instructions through the magical thread. “Crush it!”

In accordance with Ferum’s command, the enormous steel golem raises its massive railroad car sized fist.

In all likely hood, she’ll dodge it… still, this won’t miss.

Ferum, judging from the golem’s movements, understands an attack of that level won’t be enough to bring the stolen golem down. As such, wrapped around the fist of her golem are a countless number of wires so thin, they can’t be seen without straining the eyes. Therefore, even if the fist is evaded, those wires will wrap around the steel golem and inhibit any movement.

“This… wha!?”

However, the result is different from what Ferum expected.

“The fist…flattened it?”

Ferum, who judged from the battle so far that such an attack would be insufficient to end the battle, swallows her breath at the sight. The steel golem was pulverized by the massive iron fist without offering any resistance.

“Why?”
“What is, happening, desu?”

Owl and Uruna are both left staring while questioning just how the steel golem could have been crushed without any trouble.

Their doubts, however, are soon resolved.

[That wasa pretty bad move.]
“!?”

Immediately after that, a voice echoes within Ferum’s head via the magic thread connected to the enormous golem.

“…it can’t be!”

Ferum instantly understands what is meant by “bad move.” She directs an order to her giant golem, but she is too late.

“Control has been… usurped…”

At the same time her enormous golem made contact, the magical thread connected to the steel golem switched over to hers and revoked her control.

The stolen golem quietly stares down at Ferum.

“This is… my loss…”

Ferum takes the iron sand she had used to create her robe and gradually compresses it.

“I shall… take my leave here…”

Ferum, while glaring at the practitioner behind the gigantic golem, smashes the iron sand which had turned molten red from the compression against the ground. The trace amount of moisture in the ground reacts with the molten iron sand and explodes. That small-scale steam explosion hides Ferum from her former golem’s view.

“Mizukami Uruka… I won’t lose next time.”
Leaving behind those words, Ferum departs.

[?]

Why did Mizukami Uruna’s name get mentioned at the end? With such a question in mind, Near glances down at Owl and Uruna through the enormous golem. What should I do now…? If I explain this poorly, the reverse will happen and it will become more complicated…

Near, after worrying for a bit, calmly tidies up the iron sand from the parking lot and leaves.
