Magi Craft Meister

br>Its composition was a 0.1 millimeters thick, 25 millimeters wide and 60 centimeters long sheet of Adamantite sandwiched between the sword’s steel edge.

The Adamantite in the blade was harder than the giant earwigs’ exoskeleton.

“Thank you, Jin!”

Gloria offered her gratitude to Jin for having made that sword for her.

That day, Jin and Elsa had finished working on Edgar’s equipment.

Though the giant centipede’s carapace was inferior to Adamantite, it surpassed it in terms of strength per weight.
In other words, it was strong and light at the same time.

“We made a total of 10 knives.
Let’s have him keep them inside his clothes.”

With Edgar’s new enhanced strength, he was now able to easily pierce through bronze armor.
He could even tear down steel armor as well.

And his new gauntlets covered his forearms from the elbow all the way up to his fists.
If used properly, he would be able to repel even magic with them.

“With this, Edgar should be much stronger now.
He should be able to do a much better job at protecting you, Elsa.”

“Thank you, Brother Jin.”

At that moment, Laojun came in with an urgent report.

“My Lord, Miss Gloria is under attack.
Her opponent is a little girl that seems to be a demon.
She’s accompanied by eight giant earwigs, each of them being around 2 meters long.”

“What?”

Jin had feared that Gloria could be attacked at some point, but he had never imagined that she would be attacked by a demon.

“Send 10 Land Units under the name of Makina! We’ll also test our new equipment.”

“Understood.”

Using the Transfer Machine, Laojun sent out Lands 11 through 20.
Since Deneb 4 was in charge of marking their position, there was almost no error in their destination’s coordinates.

“There seems to be one seriously injured person.”

“Okay, send Nurse Alpha there as well.
…I should be making more of them, huh?”

After sending out Nurse Alpha, Jin started to mumble to himself.

“Ahahaha, so you’re a worthy opponent for my giant earwigs~!”

Alciel was enjoying herself, seeing Gloria fight with her pets.

“So humans can really do this much.
This is a good reference~!”

“Damn it, don’t underestimate us!”

Only Gloria’s sword could inflict any damage to the giant earwigs.
The soldiers were no match for them, even in terms of ability.

The soldiers were standing in a circle, and managed to prevent attacks from behind by attacking as a group.
Gloria was in charge of one part of the circle, protecting the soldiers from the giant earwigs while trying to damage the monsters, and repeating the process over and over again.

However, Gloria was the only one who could actually attack the monsters.

Naturally, the soldiers that were on the side without Gloria were under the biggest threat.
In order to prevent such dangerous situations as much as possible, Gloria slowly rotated around the circle, moving from side to side at all times.

“Ahaha, you’re going to get tired soon, aren’t you?”

The soldiers were less trained than Gloria, and were still tired from their marching.
Their legs would get tangled up, and their movements were slower than ever.

Their tiredness would eventually lead to a catastrophe.

A soldier standing right next to Gloria failed to keep up, and got his own leg mixed up with Gloria’s.

“Waah!”

The result was that both Gloria and the soldier tripped over and fell to the ground.

“Ahaha, that’s it~! That was so fun!”

A giant earwig rushed straight towards the fallen Gloria.

“Captain!”

Some of the soldiers shouted.
Gloria closed her eyes and clenched her teeth in preparation for the coming shock and pain.

“…”

However, no matter how long she waited, there was no further sign of the giant earwig’s attack.
Gloria opened her eyes…

“Wha-!”

…Then she saw a silver-brown golem wielding a brilliant sword as it slashed at the giant earwig.

“Who are you guys!? Who said you could show up out of nowhere!?”

Alciel shouted in a voice that sounded close to a shriek.
