Chapter 68

I pat Gobutos shoulder .

I can feel Gobutos body twitching .

Gobutos hand attached to the stand of the gryphon statue weakens its grip as I look at it .

Gobuto! Dont die yet, Gobuto!

I couldnt help but blurt out the name of Gobuto, which I had kept in mind .

But I dont have the luxury of paying attention to such trivial matters . Right now, Gobuto is in danger .

Give it up, this goblin is no good . We have no choice but to turn back once .

Ebelheid says simply .

No, no wayIm going to make Gobuto my pet when Im done exploring the ruins

This is the final ward .

Ive worked so hard to believe that if I could solve this, I could take Gobuto home .

Give it up, applying for permission is tricky . Theres no telling what the goblins with all these modifications will do once they regain their strength .

Then, after a short pause, he added, Also, you seem to be very attached to it, but Im not .

No way Gobuto is Gobuto dying in vain'

That goblins death was not in vain . I didnt expect the analysis to go so smoothly . That gobuji goblins death has also contributed to the analysis . If its the next time, well be able to breakthrough . If it were just me, it would have taken me ten years at the earliest .

Ebelheid says comfortingly .

I slump my shoulders in disappointment .

I, its okay! Im sure even Gobujima is glad to have been able to help Abel!

Mea put a hand on my shoulder and comforted me with that .

Is, is that so?

Yes! Im sure it is!

I turn my attention to Gobutos face as it crawls to the ground .

Gobutos whites of his eyes were bloodshot and he was staring at me as hard as he could .

Hey, as I thought, its not

Mmm, the goblins magic flow has recovered . Seeing youre face seems to have returned it to life .

Good for you, Abel! Gobujima thought had to work hard too seeing Abels face

Hey, as I thought, isnt it different? Im being stared at like crazy

Dont mind him . Hes just a man-eating demon after all . Theres nothing good that comes from having compassion .

Ebelheid cuts off my words quickly .

And thats not all . The final seal is broken . Step back, lass! Hey, the lords soldiers, surround the gryphon statue!

Eh, wha-, whats wrong?

The investigators approached the gryphon statue with a quizzical look on their faces .

I took a half step back and held up my staff .

The griffon statue emitted a bright red light and cracks appeared on its surface .

In the next moment, the statue shook its body . Shards of stone scattered around .

The statue turned into a real gryphon .

The head of a large hawk and the lower half of a lion .

From the tip of its tail to the tip of its head, its nearly three meters long .

I had never seen such a gruesome monster before, not even in this world .

Gaaaaaaaaaah!

A legendary being Id only seen in stinking books and games in a previous life, roars in front of me .

It was as if space was distorted by the voice was the illusion it gives .

An overwhelming presence, completely different from that of the stone statue .

The griffon got off the pedestal and stepped on Gobuto, which was just below him, with his big feet .

Gobuto was easily reduced to mincemeat .

Gobutooooooo!

I was about to jump out, but Ebelheid stopped me .

Dont be shaken with that level . Keep your cool and move .

W-, With that level, yes . .

Now is certainly not the time to be upset .

W-wait a minute, Ebelheid-sama! I havent heard of this!

The person from the investigation team screams while holding his sword at the ready .

Ah sorry, I thought you would have guessed our conversation if you heard it from the side

Only you guys have understood .

Wegener barked at me as I answered .

The Gryphon is a magic beast that ranks in the lower B class . You wont be able to take advantage of your wings in this passage but never stand in front of them . Disperse well and take advantage of the difference in numbers to get around . Abel, take another five steps back and drop the left wing to take advantage of the gap after the Gryphons attack . This is the last guard of these ruins . Dont let up .

Ebelheid gives me precise instructions .

Thank goodness, if he hadnt done so, I would have hit a bunch of magic without thinking about it .

As I thought, there is a difference of experience in this area .

I take five steps back exactly as I was told .

Okay, wait for the Griffons attack and then attack the base of the left wing with a magic attack .

The investigation team passed by me and went forward .

The gryphons eyes glare at Ebelheid .

Annoying elves

A voice echoed in my head .

It was as if it was calling directly to my brain .

Some magic beasts and high-ranking demons decode spirit language .

I knew it as knowledge, but this was my first time experiencing it .

When you actually receive it, you feel tremendous pressure .

Youve done well in sealing a king like myself for 2000 years .

After that, the gryphon turns his head .

You all will be a sacrifice for me without leaving a single one .

I was shaking .

Its not just me . The investigation team and Maizen also seemed to have been completely distracted by just that one voice .

I tapped my fingers lightly on my cheek to calm myself down .

Oh light, bind

The light from Ebelheids fingertips spread out and tried to bind the gryphon .

The gryphon spread its wings and flew to the right, lowering its posture .

Whoa!

One of the investigators swung his sword at the self-same person .

Stupid .

The claws of the griffons paw stroked the tip of the sword .

The blade snapped easily and the investigator was sent flying .

Thats where I, who had been pressurized, also came to my senses .

Thats right, I should take advantage of the attack and drop his left wing .

The Gryphon didnt turn to face here .

I was a little late, but its a blind spot . It should be a good check on him .

Oh wind, shape of blade

I pointed it at the gryphons left wing and waved my wand .

The magic power from the staff mingled with the air and became a blade .

The gryphon quickly turned to me .

Using wind magic to me

He moves faster than expected .

The griffon covers the front with its wings and shelters its body .

No good, I hurried .

Its said that the reason why there are magic beasts that understand spirit language are born is because they were strongly influenced by spirits during their evolutionary process .

As a backdrop to this, he has a nature close to spirits, and furthermore, he has a strong magical resistance with the power that is strongly involved with the base spirits .

Why did I shoot my wind magic?

Is it possible that I cant get my head around this much when Im on the spur of the moment?

My lack of actual battle experience is much more rooted than I expected .

I was annoyed with myself and bit my lip .

I sure am being looked down

The next moment, there was a splatter of blood .

Gaaaaaaaaaah!

The griffon screamed in its place and collapsed .

It continued to jitter around and thrash around on the spot .

The bloodstained wings that were about to be clipped fell off, and feathers were dancing around the area .

. . Hmm?

Ebelheid stopped in a raised arm position .

The rest of the investigation team froze as well, their swords at the ready .

As it was, time stopped for a few seconds .

But everyone, as if remembering, surrounded the gryphon and began to swing their swords .

Its a good thing we didnt have to worry that much .
