27 – Chapter 9. Helicopter and Colossus – 2
– 28 –
I stood in the open space and grabbed the pendant hanging from my neck.
“[[Unsynchronize mobile device]]”
As the silver helicopter appeared, a murmur could be heard around it.
I was a little angry right now, so I went straight into the body without saying a word.
By the way, aren’t there any mid-level or higher spirits staying in the main body?
Small minor wind spirits and lesser fire spirits could be seen everywhere, but no intermediate spirits were seen.
I’ll come out when I call.
“Wind.”
[[Crap!]]
Somewhere, I heard birdsong, and green, translucent, chubby sparrow-like guys popped out of the dashboard in front of me.
When I saw the five mid-level spirits of the wind wearing military uniform and raising their right wing in a salute posture, I felt somewhat relieved of my anger.
[[Captain! Did you find it!]]
They call them captains.
“Yes. Please.”
[[I wonder if there is! Just give me orders!]]
There’s a lot of flag in it.
“Let’s go.”
[[Crap!]]
The middle-class spirits of the wind saluted and then disappeared into the dashboard again.
Now turn on the switches with the familiar action.
The mana that flowed from the engine flowed into the helicopter’s drive part.
As the rotor turned quietly, it slowly ascended by pulling the lever.
To check the border, the weapons flew from a low height to the vicinity of where the weapons were broken.
The stone statue was now staring openly at this place.
The moment you carefully pass over the wrecked tank in the front
Jeing-
A black light shot from the statue’s eyes.
“Ugh”
I quickly pulled the lever as far as possible to avoid the attack, and a roar was heard from behind.
Turning the nose to the side and looking at it, it seems that the attack was strong enough to dig deep into the ground.
If it had been authentically hit, the helicopter would have exploded.
No, he said that there was a protective shield, so it might have been surprisingly good.
It seemed that it was natural to feel afraid, but there was no such thing as strangely agitated.
Like I was calm after detonating the Arachne tanks last time, I felt quite restrained when I got on the helicopter.
It’s much better than making a mistake in embarrassment.
It took a few minutes to reach the wall with the stone statue, even if it was driven by a helicopter and flew at full speed.
If I shoot a Hellfire from here, can I hit it?
Come to think of it, the range seems to be different depending on the magic, but I wondered if Hellfire would reach it in the first place.
Let’s shoot first.
Using the broken tank as a reference point, it approached a close position and then flew high into the air.
“[[Hellfire]]”
The magic stones attached to the window vibrated low and gathered in the red light on the wings.
“[[Fire]]”
A red column of heat engulfed the air.
Hellfire, which flew for a while, could not even reach the fortress wall, let alone the stone statue, and perished.
“Damn.”
Even though he spit out abusive language with his mouth, his eyes and head calmly analyzed the situation.
The fortress wall was blocking the hill at the entrance of the cape spread out in the back.
Behind the wall, which seemed to be several tens of kilometers in length, a vertically elongated piece of land and the sea beyond it could be seen.
There was no specific hiding place to hide.
Do you have any information on the magic that the statue uses?
I turned on the communicator and called Curst.
“Kurst.”
Chijik-
A noise was heard over the communicator, and then a voice different from what I expected was heard.
“Yes, four! Eriff! The general is talking to the guests of the Holy Kingdom right now.”
I didn’t care because what I needed was information anyway.
“Operator?”
“Yes! My name is Operator Schmeier.”
“Magic information used by the stone statue.”
「Wait a minute.」
I landed the helicopter because it seems it will take some time to find the information.
Thanks to my perfect control, I landed right outside the border of the tank’s fragments, but because it was such a dry wasteland, a thick layer of dust was blooming.
Qwaang!
“Miss, I’m surprised.”
Suddenly the stone statue attacked.
Earth dust rose high from the front, and was blown away in all directions by the wind of the rotor.
Jiing- Qwaang!
After a few seconds, the statue attacked again.
This time, a black beam of light fell near the dust that had been pushed forward in the distance.
Are you focused on attacking moving things?
But apparently, based on the knowledge that came to mind, I think he said that he would detect and attack a race on God’s side.
“Erif-sama. The magic of that stone statue known so far is ‘Death Ray’, a high-level dark magic that is fired from the top, ‘Immolation’, a high-level fire magic that burns the entire wall if you go nearby, and ‘Rock Blast’, a high-ranking ground magic that summons and throws a huge stone. There is.”
“Are there only three?”
「No other magic has been recorded.」
It was said that the attacks that had been inflicted on the stone statues were destroyed by those three magics.
There are remnants of tanks that appear to be three-digit numbers even if you count them.
It wasn’t a giant weapon of a demon for nothing.
“Hmm.”
I had a range that far surpassed Hellfire, my only attack magic, even with just the beam coming out of my eyes right now.
Hellfire seems to have higher destructive power.
The new weapon, the harpoon, came out with a harpoon, but I don’t know the official name or how to use it.
It was more realistic to analyze his attack pattern than to expect me to wake up suddenly.
The stone statue would not have attacked the Amon dust for nothing.
I need to check if my knowledge is wrong or if there is a specific attack pattern.
Moving the helicopter again, it flew high.
The stone statue attacked the dust again.
As they flew along the outskirts of the border, the stone statue also turned and turned his gaze to this side.
It’s completely marked.
I came out floating in an appropriate position and shot a hellfire towards the middle of the statue.
Earth dust rose with the explosion, but the stone statue did not even move, keeping her eyes fixed on it.
This time, it climbed as high as possible, then descended sharply, fired at the ground near the border, and straightened its nose.
Jeing-
Black rays from the statue’s eyes hit the ground covered in dust.
Okay. My prediction was almost right.
The condition he attacks is ‘movement’.
However, it was close to a conditional attack, and as I remember, it was highly likely that it was only attacking the movement near the place where the hostile forces were detected.
I don’t think it was made to react to animals or trees swaying in the wind.
Now that we know the attack conditions, it’s time to analyze the rest of the pattern.
As a result of observation, the attack interval was about 10 seconds.
It was similar to the Hellfire reload time.
Do I have to load Hellfire on both sides and fire one at a time right in front of me?
If you did, the Hellfire launcher would likely overheat before it even got there.
Besides, it was questionable whether he could still perform such maneuvers.
Shooting Hellfire alternately, creating dust to induce an attack, and moving in between?
It seemed impossible with my skills now.
Coming to think of it, even if I smoked dirt in the first place, it doesn’t completely cover me, so wouldn’t he attack me right away from within the attack range?
How can I avoid one attack, so let’s try it.
“[[Twin Hellfire]]”
The nose advanced rapidly while maintaining a low altitude with the magic of fire in both wings.
Just before reaching the border, a Hellfire was fired right in front.
Kwaang- Jiing-
The stone statue’s eyes pierced towards the dust that arose with the sound of an explosion.
After counting the time calmly, at the time of 9 seconds, the other foot was shot forward and the rider was bent sideways.
Jeing-
“Wow, Mr.”
A black beam of light passed right by the window.
I almost died.
Before the cooldown of the eyebrows returned, they quickly escaped the boundary.
When the dust and my body are visible at the same time, they attack from this side.
Something else had to be done.
You only need to be able to approach the attack distance.
It started with the quarrels of the Holy Kingdom and the king’s shovel, but gradually, I really wanted to give the huge stone statue a Hellfire.

Please let me hit one hit of Hellfire.
After that, I tried several times, but I couldn’t come up with a way to avoid the guy’s gaze.
I couldn’t retreat either.
I floated in mid-air, and then turned on the communicator again.
“There.”
“Yes, Erif-sama.”
The operator’s voice had no energy unlike before.
You seem to have seen me continue to shovel.
“Is there any kind of magic that can help?”
“The operator’s illusion-type magic doesn’t work on that statue.”
Sheesh.
I clicked my tongue once and then asked another question.
“Then what kind of tank went to the middle of the field?”
“According to the records, it is said that about 100 tanks were lined up at the border and attempted to break through at the same time. In fact, there have been achievements. If you look closely, there are traces of destruction throughout the fortress walls, but that’s a criminal record.”
It’s barely enough to attack the fortress wall with a hundred tanks, so I’m going to give that guy a shot alone?
The people of the Holy Kingdom have no intention of keeping me alive.
I think we should approach it in a different way.
Beyond the stone statue, I could see the sea shining brightly in the noonday sunlight.
If I were a submarine, I wouldn’t have been given this seemingly impossible mission.
Oh, I want to be a free fish.
Aren’t birds more free? At least I wouldn’t tell the fish to attack the stone statues on the ground.
Wait. Ocean? Water?
My complex brain brightened and I came up with a trick to overcome this situation.
When I heard the explanation of the situation earlier, I thought of the map of this neighborhood that I looked over my shoulder.
There was just the right place.
I quickly broke the nose and headed towards the main camp.
“Erif. Are you giving up?”
Kurst’s voice emanating from the communicator was quiet.
Is that possible?
“No. If I fall, don’t follow me.”
Even if you really fall, you won’t be able to come to the rescue anyway.
After firmly nailing them to never come, they passed the main camp and headed toward the narrow bay between the continent and the cape.
The blue sea under the high cliff.
It was a stage to feed a huge stone statue.
