Volume 5 Chapter 11 (2/2)

This inefficiency was a weak point.

To fix it then, Rorono added a battery in the form of the fur in Kuina's tail. The reason why the fur on Kuina's tail was chosen was because it boasted the capability to store an absurd amount of magic power.

As a result, the Avalon-Ritters were then able to make use simultaneously of the magic power continuously generated by their cores and also of the magic power charged within the fur, essentially creating another core. This quasi-triple drive set up was the basis for why it was called the [Burst Drive].

Even though it was only for a short while–for as long as the fur had magic power remaining in it, to be exact–these golems were comparable to even S rank monsters.

“Master, please look at the might of the ultimate golems I have made.”

Just when I thought the particles of magic power were building up too much on the thrusters located on the back of the Avalon-Ritters, they vanished. Converting their magic power into kinetic energy allowed them to move at such abnormal speeds.

In their hands were very durable orichalcum lances.

Naturally, the durability and length of the lances were not its only features. It was a weapon that caused molecular destruction; anything it touched would be destroyed.

“GYAAAA”

“GAAAAA”

“No, no, no way”

The screams of the enemy monsters could be heard.

The Avalon-Ritters penetrated the enemy lines like a bullet and rampaged as they pleased.

They traveled at over three times the speed of sound. The moment the enemies came into contact with the Avalon-Ritters, who became these unreasonably massive weapons, the said enemies were simply blown away.

There was a reason why the Avalon-Ritters didn't use swords and that was because swords were hard to wield properly at such speeds. There was even the chance that swinging a sword while going that fast could rip off the golems' arms.

So, for that reason, we had decided it was best for them to ram into the enemies with a lance facing forward.

The ten Avalon-Ritters used three magic.

1. The conversion of their magic power into kinetic energy.

2. The lance of molecular destruction.

3. And the one for increasing their durability.

They needed only those three and nothing else. They were fast, strong, and durable.

The first five Avalon-Ritters were still keeping the anti-magic shell active but since it only interfered with magic that affected the physical world, the Avalon-Ritters' three magic, which only affected themselves, worked unhindered.

In short, this was a fight between enemies geared for wide-area attacks but were no longer able to use magic and the ultra-fast, ultra-durable, and ultra-strong Avalon-Ritters.

Given that, the result was obvious.

Each time the thrusters on the back of the golems shined, at least one enemy monster was turned into minced meat.

“So this is [Burst Drive], huh.”

“Mhm. However, it still has many weak points. They're fast but they only move in a straight path. A first class monster like Kuina will be able deal with them. Even if the golems move fast enough that the naked eye can't keep up, Kuina, with her Precognition and Ultra-rapid Reflexes, is something else. Furthermore, the golems are also weak to enemies that fly.”

Rorono calmly analyzed the performance of the Avalon-Ritters.

As she did so, the massacre went on.

When the Avalon-Ritters stopped moving, not one enemy monster was left.

A certain number of enemies escaped but there was no real need to chase after them.

“Alright, let's go further in. Thank the Avalon-Ritters for me.”

“They did accomplish their task but…”

“I know and that's what I meant. Just their presence is enough of a weapon. The enemies will be none the wiser.”

“The golems still need to improve.”

The anti-magic shell generating equipment were already burnt out.

Meanwhile, for the 6th to 15th golems, their thrusters were damaged from the excessive amount of magic power poured into it. Also, their battery unit were no longer usable.

In just a few minutes of operation, all the Avalon-Ritters neared their limits.

The bodies of the first five, the ones that had anti-magic shell equipment, were still functional but the ten that used [Burst Drive] were beyond repair; all that could be done was to remove their twin-drives in order to salvage them.

I knew that this would happen. Their power was just too much to the point that even their bodies made of orichalcum could not withstand it.

By treating them as disposable fighting force, we could bump their performance from being upper A rank units to S rank equivalent ones. A luxury weapon, so to speak.

However, I didn't regret deploying them here.

There were a lot of enemy A rank monsters here and fighting them head on would cause my main force to become exhausted or worse. That was something I wouldn't allow.

There was one other purpose for using them now and that was to show off the might of the Avalon-Ritters. By doing so, the enemy would make counter-measures out of fear despite the fact that the Avalon-Ritters could not use [Burst Drive] again.

“Okay, let's go further in, shall we?”

We still had a long way ahead of us.

Despite the hardships, we will absolutely advance forward. Our primary goal right now is to meet up with Marcho's monsters as soon as possible.
