60 – Chapter 21. Top Heligan – 2

– 61 –

Fire spirits pass through the hallways and breathe fire into the magic stones embedded in the walls.

The white burning manastones subtly illuminate the dark basement.

As I walked around the basement following the mid-level earth spirit who was acting as a de facto lieutenant, the situation was not as bad as I thought.

It was hard to believe that it was under the ground, and the facilities were quite good.

I don’t know much about the architecture of the spirit world, but in order to build such a facility in the material world, wouldn’t it be necessary to have a large-scale construction project at the national level?

“Who built this facility?”

“This is Commander Tyran.”

I was a little surprised by the unexpected answer.

“Isn’t the commander not interested in commanding?”

“To be precise, it is slightly different. He thinks that his allies are dying because he doesn’t like moving troops and defeating enemies, so he is concentrating all his energy on building and manufacturing, which is his specialty.”

“Aha.”

In other words, it feels like a blacksmith, an architect, or an engineer.

Some misunderstandings about Tyran were cleared up, but it was a clear fact that they neglected their responsibility.

I have to take over the command of the troops and plan a plan to defeat the enemies.

Can

The sound of hitting the chisel with a hammer was faintly heard.

As I walked along the hallway, the sound got louder and louder, but when I finally reached the destination where Tyran was, the sound stopped.

A large door that occupies the entire end of the hallway.

The sign reads ‘Tiran’s Workshop’.

“Have you even set up a workshop?”

“In the beginning, the commander’s role was to be a blacksmith in the spirit world.”

When the earth spirit knocked, the door opened as if waiting.

“Everyone is working hard! By the way…… Who are you?”

A girl who looked smaller than me was standing there holding a large hammer and holding the doorknob.

Tyran, with his slightly tanned skin, flaming red hair, and cool-looking attire, stared at me with a long, vertical pupil and blinked.

“わ”

Oops. A hand went to his head involuntarily.

Tyran shrugged his neck with his eyes closed as if he thought he was feeding honey chestnuts, but when his hand touched his head, he opened his eyes slightly.

As soon as her eyes met her, she was embarrassed and immediately removed her hand.

When I see a creature that is younger than me and cute, I unintentionally put a hand on her head.

Tyran rubbed the part her hand had touched and looked at me with her dazzling eyes.

“Are you a ‘helper’?”

“Yes. Call me Erif.”

“Wow! Nice to meet you, Erif. My name is Tyran. Please.”

Like an innocent child, Tyran ran around, letting go of her hammer and reaching out her hand.

She said holding her hand and shaking hands.

“In the old days, it was called ‘Misfire’.”

“Oh, that’s right. Wait, Misfire?”

Tyran put her index finger to her lips as if she was thinking of something, then she opened her mouth in surprise.

“A hunter?”

“That’s right.”

Her hands were trembling.

Having let go of her hand, Tyran bowed her back and said in a weeping voice.

“Hey, sorry, I’m sorry… ….”

Tiran sighs and apologizes.

I don’t know English.

“Huh? Why are you apologizing?”

“Aren’t you so ugly that you came to catch me?”

The chop was blown towards Tyran’s forehead, which raised his head slightly.

“Ouch!”

Tiran cries while holding her forehead.

“No. I’m here to help. Don’t guess.”

At this point, rather than discussing the qualifications of a commander, it was strange to entrust a child to defend an area.

“Tiran. Why are you defending here?”

“Huh? Well, because someone high gave it an order.”

“Who is that high person?”

Tyran closed her eyes and thought deeply, then opened her mouth carefully.

“God?”

“Oh, yes.”

I don’t have an answer.

The mid-level earth spirit who was standing next to him began to explain.

“At some point, the demons opened the gates at will, and almost all the higher spirits were mobilized to protect the entire spirit world. It’s a bit out of the way, so I wasn’t expecting an invasion, but suddenly the gate opened and I heard that Tyrann, who was nearby, was dispatched in a hurry.”

“It is simply because of the lack of manpower.”

This is a time when there is a serious shortage of manpower for both humans and spirits.

That’s why a capable and free humanoid spirit like me has to wander around and solve the case.

“What are you doing here?”

Tyran started guiding the workshop with a smile, as if he had just forgotten that he had just been hit on the forehead as he spoke in a friendly tone as much as possible.

“… Is this the arsenal of the spirit world?”

“Similar! Most of the newest weapons in the spirit world were made by me. It’s smaller than the arsenal where I used to live, but it can make pretty much anything.”

In the workshop, all kinds of weapons were lined up.

There were small guns, knives, small guns, as well as missiles, rockets, and even what looked like tank turrets that could be attached to my body right away.

“Is this made by hammering?”

“Oh, this? This is my partner and weapon, and it contains the power of fire, so I can craft all kinds of weapons.”

Tyran headed to the pile of scrap metal near the entrance, took a black piece of scrap metal to the anvil and started hitting it without any prior preparation.

The hammering continued for a few minutes, and the result was a small rocket the size of a palm.

“I added a little fire manastone, so I can actually use it.”

To make a rocket by tapping scrap metal.

Have I seen a ghost now?

“Then can you make something like this?”

The size of this place was almost the same as the place where I studied my body in the laboratory.

So I was able to take out the body without much trouble.

“Oh, is this the body of the Misfire? I’ve heard of it a lot, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it in person.”

Tiran looked around my body with twinkling eyes.

“Can I borrow this for just one day?”

“Then it will be difficult to defend.”

If a guy that is hard to block in a unified state appears, you need to call the main body.

But, if you entrust the main body to Tyran, wouldn’t it make some amazing weapons?

I was thinking about it like that, but an intermediate land spirit gave me advice.

“If it is an enemy attack, it can be stopped for a day or so. Now that we’ve started redeploying our anti-aircraft guns, we’ll be less likely to be bombarded with intensive bombardment as we do now.”

“Well. Then I will help you relocate.”

“Thank you.”

After the story was roughly finished, I decided to take out the drone and take it with me.

Tyran saw the drone and begged him to borrow the drone, but after analyzing the main body, he decided to lend it.

After leaving Tyran’s workshop, I looked around the production plant next door.

Dozens of lower spirits were constantly assembling weapons, as if saying that they were nothing like the arsenal of the spirit world was not a lie.

With this level of productivity, you are pushed all the time.

If the lieutenant was still alive, I would have executed it myself.

The completed anti-aircraft guns flew to the ground one after another.

As I followed the soldiers to the ground, an empty sky caught my eye.

“Erif-nim has been quiet since he defeated the enemy’s bombers.”

“Are the enemies mostly bombers?”

“In the first workshop, there were quite a few fighters. After taking full control of the air supremacy, it was mainly used as a bomber.”

Well. It’s a fighter, not a biplane.

Remembering the memories of dealing with him in the past, he was indeed a helicopter’s natural enemy.

In a vague memory, there was a time when a helicopter unit under my command was swept away by a few fighters, and I had to deal with them alone.

However, it seems that I also united and beat a few, and then Arumanan’s troops came to the rescue.

My body trembled at the bad memories.

“Is there a layout for anti-aircraft guns?”

“Here I am. This black mark is the current layout, and the area to be relocated is this red mark.”

To be honest, I don’t know how to look at it.

It’s not too tight, isn’t it?

“Well. Not bad. Proceed as planned.”

“I see.”

After inspecting the unit with the mid-level land spirit, he received information about the surrounding map and the current status of the remaining troops.

With a few middle-level spirits at the senior level, the entire day passed as we redeployed the defense forces and discussed the future plans heatedly.

In the spirit world, the sun never rises or sets, so the sense of time disappears.

Besides, I can’t hit well, so it’s hard to know when to sleep.

I was explaining the timing of firing anti-aircraft guns to the soldiers, and I saw enemy aircraft in the distance.

The air raid warning siren sounded immediately, and tension drifted among the spirits who had to apply the anti-aircraft gun shooting method learned as an attribute to actual practice.

“Is it a fighter?”

“Many battles, many bombers.”

Tension drifted in the premises at the words of the intermediate spirit, who was watching with binoculars.

The small rocket that Tyran gave me yesterday was mounted on the drone and integrated.

“Do you all remember? Anti-aircraft artillery fire should be aimed at the river when they come from the other side of the river. Each one is aiming for those close to his position.”

“Yes!”

As it flew into the air with the drone, the fighters began to accelerate.

The fighters who narrowly passed between the magical beams fired from the anti-aircraft guns fired magic all at once.

After avoiding a black light beam with instantaneous acceleration, it fired Hellfire Chaser and Sidewinder alternately.

However, it only hit one wing.

Shuung-

The fighters passing by me in an instant.

When I was caught up in the air current they created and turned over in the air, I saw fighters turning and returning from afar.

Drink-

After barely dodging the small magic bullets fired from the fighter, it exploded in the air this time.

Two fighters were caught in the explosion and began to fall.

In the meantime, anti-aircraft guns fired at the approaching bombers.

A few were dropped, but there were still many bombers and fighters flying around in the air.

Wheeing- Bang!

Bombs that fell from the bomber created a sea of fire on the ground.

The number of broken anti-aircraft guns and disappearing spirits was increasing.

“Hellfire!”

I fired a Hellfire Spread at the bombers, but unlike the last time, it spread widely and flew out, so I couldn’t shoot down a few.

In the meantime, the fighters who make a U-turn again and return.

“Can I keep up with the speed of a fighter with my wing output?”

[[It is possible. Instead, it is difficult to attack because you have to use the firepower of the gauntlet as a driving force.]]

“That was enough. Please tell me how.”

Magic spears similar to sidewinders flew from the fighters flying in the front.

After avoiding by lowering the altitude as if it was about to fall, according to the advice of the spirits, I put my arms close to the side of my body and spread my palms toward my feet.

He took the direction while holding compressed air until just before it exploded from the hive.

A squadron of fighters running away with their tails showing.

I was openly showing my back because I thought I wouldn’t be able to catch up.

The direction of the wings came down slightly behind the back from the top of both shoulders.

The magic of fire gathered in both hands, and it soon ignited and became a propellant.

[[Captain. I don’t have any armor right now, so please spread your arms slightly so that you don’t get burned.]]

After receiving the advice of the spirits, he finely adjusted his posture and raised his head.

After targeting the fighter with the sights on the helmet, I became an arrow and was shot at them.

It was difficult to properly control the body at such a speed.

The straight path vibrates with the wind.

The fighters were just about to turn, and they were able to catch up.

The eyes met with a demon riding a fighter.

After giving him a triumphant smile on his surprised face, he changed the flames from his hands into Hellfire.

“Chaser.”

The chaser in unification mode is fast and fire arrow with guidance like a sidewinder.

It does not have the power to detonate a fighter with a single shot, but it exerts sufficient and overflowing power in close-quarters combat like this.

The chaser fired from the gauntlet broke the windows of the fighter on either side and burned the entire cockpit.

He turned over and turned, then followed a fighter.

“I got it… …. Ugh.”

Just before launching the attack, he was hit with a magic bullet fired from a fighter flying from the side.

It was quite painful, but it was not enough to cause noticeable injuries.

“Explosion!”

Explosion in a unified state is a fireball that can be detonated at any time.

When I sprayed the Explosion at my location and fell back, the fighters chasing me were caught up in the Explosion that exploded in mid-air and crashed.

“Whew.”

Now there is only one fighter left.

It was the guy I was chasing just now.

“Sidewinder.”

After implementing black-brown magic spears in both hands, he ran through the sky using his wings and greaves.

He threw his shoulders back as far as possible, then swung his arms wide forward and threw a magic spear.

The sidewinder, which flew in a straight line, followed the sharply turning fighter and bent back and forth in the air, then pierced the fighter and exploded it.

“It is much weaker than the enemies of the Shinma War.”

[[At that time, both allies and enemies were elite soldiers.]]

The enemy bombers that were attacking the base were retreating after losing more than half of their troops without much profit due to the changed anti-aircraft gun arrangement and shooting technique.

When I came back after clearing the bombers with drones, the spirit of the victorious base was almost in a festive mood.

Seeing the spirits gathering and chattering regardless of their attributes reminded me of a time in the past.

Comrades in the Allied Forces gathered under the will of God regardless of race.

After a big win, I used to enjoy a modest win-win.

Are the long-lived friends still alive?

After waiting for a while and immersed in anti-aircraft artillery, a mid-level earth spirit acting as a lieutenant came to me.

“This victory is thanks to Erif-sama.”

“No. Everyone did a good job, so there was little damage.”

After waving his hand at the unfamiliar praise, he headed to the underground headquarters where Tyrann was waiting.

I came to Tyran’s workshop through the hallway lined with shining magic stones.

I can’t wait to see what our blacksmith will produce.

What I saw when I entered the workshop after knocking was a somewhat unexpected result.

“What is all this?”

“Ah, is Erif here? How is it? Is not it cute?”

What Tyran proudly showed off was a number of mini-helicopters placed near the main body.

It was a helicopter division created in one day by Tyran, the arsenal master of the spirit world.
