196 – Isilian Kingdom
After finishing my schedule in the Dwarven United Kingdom, I headed straight to Isilian Kingdom.
In the ‘Land of Gryphons’, the highest peak of the snow-covered mountain range ‘Kadra’.
“This time, I will go alone.”
So, I said I would go there alone, ignoring all the attendants and officials.
Because the Isilian Kingdom is a country that has not opened a portal in preparation for an external invasion, you can only get there on foot.
【See you at the estate in 3 days】
After changing into my suit, I said goodbye to Adrian and his companions.
Then, it activated the repulsor and core propellant, soared into the sky, and headed straight to the Isilian Kingdom.
-Shuung!
It’s been a long time since I took a long flight.

“It’s an attack! “It’s a gargoyle attack!”
Griffon Training Center at ‘Bird of Prey’s Peak’.
There was a soldier screaming and running in all directions.
Soon, horns sounded everywhere and a state of alert was put on alert.
This is because the young griffon must be protected from gargoyle attacks.
“Damn it! “Why at a time like this!”
But the timing was not good.
Currently, the ‘Gryphon Riders’, the main force of the Isilian Kingdom, have gone to attack a gargoyle breeding site.
Unfortunately, at a time when all the defensive forces were gone, a large number of gargoyles raided the place.
It was as if they knew in advance that this place would be empty.
“You have such bad luck!”
But there is no way a gargoyle with even the slightest intellect could make such a calculation.
In the end, Philip, the guard captain, blamed the unfortunate incident on today, which was his working day, and ordered his subordinates to respond.
He was ordered to prepare anti-aircraft techniques and anti-aircraft weapons.
“Never let even one animal die!”
Gryphon.
Gryphon can be said to be the identity and everything of the Isilian Kingdom.
The fact that they were able to stand shoulder to shoulder with other kingdoms due to their small size and population was all thanks to special cavalry called ‘Griffon Riders’.
For this reason, in order to preserve the national image of the ‘King of the Sky’, we must not lose even a single griffon.
Philip, the guard captain, realized that his entire career would be over if he lost even one griffon, and gave a thunderous shout to his soldiers.
“The angle is 90 degrees! Where are you aiming! Gargoyles attack the first training center! “Fire now!”
However, the lack of troops was still insufficient.
Due to the continued invasions of the gargoyles, the trouble was that he led all his troops with the intention of drying out all of their seeds.
There was no way that a soldier of less than 20 could stop well over 100 gargoyles.
“Damn it! sh*t! sh*t!”
Just like that, the solid roof of the first Griffon Training Center began to melt.
Every time dozens of gargoyles spouted acidic fluid, bubbles began to bubble and cracks formed in the marble.
-Quad! Kwazizig!
There was a crack in such solid marble.
And when the thorn of the hardened gargoyle got stuck in the gap…
-Qurrr!
The roof collapsed.
The young griffons inside were exposed as is.
“Nooooo! Everyone run to the first training center!!”
It was hopeless.
It takes a whopping 48 years to tame a griffon to an adult.
Losing the griffon that I had raised like gold and jade was like losing all the savings I had accumulated over 48 years.
The bank went bankrupt and the money I had spent my entire life evaporating.
“There are too many!!”
“Stop it somehow!”
But it seemed like bankruptcy was a planned process.
Even just 20 gargoyles gathered together would be no different from a disaster, but now there are about 100 gathered here.
The gargoyles, which did not travel in groups of more than 8, suddenly went crazy while he was at work.
“Captain! The second training center is also on the verge of being breached!”
“The 3rd Training Center is also under attack!”
So Philip watched in a daze as destruction approached.
Looking at the hundreds of black wings covering the sun, he suddenly realized that it would be difficult to save his own life, let alone protect the griffon.
“Great, sir! An unusual gargoyle is approaching! “I guess he’s the leader of this group!”
But then.
A soldier delivered even more despairing news.
He pointed to a black object approaching this place at high speed and said that it was the leader of the gargoyles.
“···It’s the end.”
And Philip nodded his head.
The guy approaching, radiating an unusual energy even at first glance, can certainly be called the leader of the gargoyles.
Is it possible that the reason why gargoyle attacks have become more frequent in the past two years, or why such a large gargoyle unit makes strategic raids, is because of its existence?
-Shuung!
···It certainly seemed like that.
When you see a flash-like light coming out of the guy’s body and heading towards this place.
Perhaps because he was the leader of the gargoyles, his method of attack was unusual.
“Kyaaa!!”
However, the route was strange.
A gargoyle falls down screaming.
The blue flash pierced not the griffon training center, but the gargoyle that was attacking it.
-Shuung! Shuung! Shuung! Shuung!
-Kyaaa! Kyaaa! Kyaaa!
And the subsequent barrage of flashes all hit the gargoyle.
Realizing that he had been mistaken, Philip quickly frowned and glared at the flashing black object.
Soon, he was able to confirm that the black object was not a gargoyle.
“Um, that armor…!”
The brilliance that emanates from the smooth titanium alloy.
Steel armor with the entire body dyed black.
The greatest minister of the empire, also known as the ‘Knight in Black Armor’, the intellect of mankind, the father of engineering, the innovator of the celestial bodies, the explorer of the universe, the lover of all, the world’s greatest wealth, the blacksmith of salvation, and the savior of the realm. . And so on and so forth.
“Edgar Fix…!”
All of those modifiers are condensed into just one, Edgar Fix.
The power and authority of that name.
“Now we live…!”
Philip smiled tearfully as he watched Edgar Fix approaching this place at high speed.
Even Philip, a guard captain in a distant country, knows very well how powerful Edgar Fix’s personal force is.
“Honey, I think I can last a little longer.”
Retirement seemed to be a dozen years away.

【Eve, please specify the priority target.】
[I was already doing it.]
The Peak of the Bird of Prey being attacked by gargoyles.
I asked Eve to designate a ‘highest priority target.’
The goal is to quickly analyze and fix the coordinates of enemies that are immediately threatening to kill humans or destroy important facilities.
[Coordinate analysis completed. Just fire.]
Soon, Eve, who shared my vision, completed setting the coordinates.
I immediately selected the ‘Enhanced Repulsor Beam’ listed as the ‘No. 1 Recommended weapon’ on the display and ordered it to fire.
Then the suit’s back and shoulder flaps opened and seven reinforced repulsor beams were fired.
Each repulsor beam flew to the coordinates selected as the ‘highest priority target’.
“Kyaaah!!!”
The firing was a great success.
Without a single error, all the gargoyles were pierced through their vital points and died.
However, there were still too many gargoyles left for me to deal with before I was satisfied with this.
【I guess I can’t use a laser cutter.】
The laser cutter is perfect as a weapon of mass destruction.
However, the moment the laser cutter is swung across the area, not only the humans guarding this place but also the griffins that have not yet reached adulthood will die as well.
【In that case…】
So I summoned the inventory.
And after looking around at the ‘specially developed shooters’ carried as tactical weapons, I chose one.
They took out a ‘web shooter’ made by combining Ungoliant’s spider web and carbon nanotubes.
-Page!
【Shooter Replacement】
And I gave a voice command to replace the web shooter as soon as it emerged from the crack in the air.
Then, the repulsor suit surrounding my hand and forearm disintegrated and fell off, and instead, the web shooter, which recognized the bracelet on my wrist, began to coil and attach itself.
The web shooter, which started combining while emitting a sophisticated mechanical sound, completed the combination in just 5 seconds.
【Shall we go?】
I changed the shooter and quickly flew to the place where the gargoyles were gathered.
At the same time, the shooter was activated and high energy was loaded.
Unlike the clear high-frequency sound of the repulsor shooter, the web shooter emits a strange noise called “Gurgling.”
-Chaaa!
From noble mtl dot com
However, the performance is certain.
An incredibly large spider web covered dozens of gargoyles, immobilizing them.
“Kyaaa! Kyaaak!”
“Krrr! Kyaaak!”
The ‘new material web’, which boasts such incredible trajectory and viscosity, has wrapped around the gargoyle.
The more they struggled, the more the viscosity and contractile force became stronger, tightening the forces together more and more tightly.
The strength was so strong that every time the new material web hardened and tightened, it dug into the flesh and tore it apart.
“Kyaaa! Kyaaak!”
And I sprayed the web shooters on the ‘gargoyle pile’ a few more times.
It was quite nice to see dozens of gargoyles tangled together and spouting blood.
【For now, 1 training center has been dealt with, and the rest need to be dealt with as well.】
Soon, I left behind the pile of about 40 gargoyles and headed towards the rest.
All the gargoyles attacking the 2nd and 3rd training centers were suppressed with web shooters.
“Kyaaa! “Kyaaak!”
So now all that’s left is to kill these guys captured by the web shooters in as painful a way as possible.
I took out the Mana Chainsaw from my inventory and immediately started it.
The Mana Chainsaw began to rotate its blades, emitting a bloody engine sound.
【······Huh?】
But then.
An unexpected situation occurred.
The captured gargoyle stiffened its body in an attempt to ‘turn into a stone statue.’
【Ah… Not fun.】
Unfortunately, the gargoyle’s statue makes it immune to almost all physical powers.
Chainsaws do not work.
【Well, there’s nothing we can do about it. I have no choice but to use a different weapon.】
So I took out another weapon from my inventory.
However, this was more like a ‘room’ than a weapon.
It was originally a room created to torture demon cultists, but it seems like it could be used in the current situation.
【Okay. It’s so damn heavy.】
Soon, I opened the door wide and dragged in a pile of petrified gargoyles.
The ones entangled in the web shooters were put inside.
Then, I immediately closed the huge steel door and pressed the button.
I heard the sound of the microwave running.
Screaming began to be heard.
How demonic are you?
