Chapter 8-14: Volume 8 - Chapter 14 – Ultimatum
08-14 Ultimatum
The furious Jin sent orders to the Ninja Unit through Reiko .
“Throw the neutralized people outside . ”
“Once there’s no one inside contact me . ”
“Goodbye . ”
Even Elm and Ash who had escorted Elsa once more headed towards the stronghold .
Left behind were Jin, Elsa, Reiko, Dahlia, and Canna .
“Jin-kun, what were those golems?”
Elsa wanted to know and she asked .
“They’re the SP, nickname Ninja Unit . ”
“Ninja Unit?”
Apparently she did not know what ninjas were .
“Yeah . Basically, they’re golems that protect me usually without showing themselves . ”
For now, he explained it like that .
“When did you make them?”
“Eh? Hmm, after we left Egelia Kingdom’s royal castle, I think . ”
“Eh? Where? I didn’t see you build them anywhere . ”
For a moment Jin hesitated about what to say, but then made up his mind .
“On Hourai Island . ”
“Hourai Island? Not Kunlun Island?”
“Yeah . Once all this has been finished I’ll explain it to you properly, so please hold on for a bit longer . ”
Jin appeased Elsa’s questions .
“Father, report from Ash . Excluding their leader, everyone has been successfully neutralized . Currently they’re being carried out . ”
“Alright, got a good feeling about this . ”
Then Jin looked at Elsa and,
“I’ll now be going to teach a lesson to the guy who hurt you, Elsa . Please wait here . Dahlia and Canna will protect you . ”
He said and began to walk . Elsa gripped the sleeve of his coat .
“Wait . Take me with you . ”
“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
She would return into the place she had only just escaped from, so Jin was worried about her .
“If it’s with Jin-kun I’ll be alright . …More importantly, don’t leave me alone . ”
She had frightened eyes like a small puppy . Jin sensed Elsa’s uneasiness and nodded .
“Alright, let’s go together . ”
Jin said and held out his hand which Elsa then took and stood up .
“Reiko, Dahlia, Canna, let’s go . ”
“Yes . ”
Jin began walking accompanied by three golems .
“[Light Ball] . ”
He created a ball of light which floated midair . The Light Ball would light the way until the Magic Energy it was charged with depleted . He created ten of them and had them float around the stronghold . The area was then as bright as day .
“Barrier . ”
Furthermore he deployed a Magic Barrier that enveloped Elsa and himself . They walked on without pausing and set foot inside the stronghold .
“Don’t worry . No matter what happens I’ll protect you, Elsa . ”
“…Mm . ”
They walked inside the unmanned stronghold, heading towards the second floor . There lie the living room cum office of Purcell who called himself the head of the eighth subdivision of the Unifilers, Purcell .
While walking, Jin heard the general details from Elsa .
“Open the door . ”
Jin said, and Canna who was following him went ahead and kicked in the door . The ornamental door looked heavy, yet it was blown away like leaves in the wind .
“W-who is it?”
A panicked voice . If you looked, you could see a slim man dressed in white robes in the corner of the room . He was protected by two pitch-black golems on both sides, while he himself could be seen holding an excessively ornamented long cane .
“…Purcell . ”
Jin didn’t miss the fear that ran through Elsa’s eyes when she saw the man .
“So you’re the branch head?”
“T-that’s right . The branch head of the eighth subdivision of the Unifilers, Purcell Marces D’Canagerion! Y-you are?”
Jin grinned broadly and said,
“I’m that Nidou Jin you’re so interested in . ”
Hearing that, Purcell’s face was filled with mixed feelings .
“I-I see! I see that taking Miss Randol hostage was effective indeed, eh? Co-come now, pledge allegiance to us Unifilers!”

Purcell said with a pompous attitude . However,
“Don’t screw around . ”
Jin said with a voice so cold that Elsa next to him couldn’t believe her ears .
“I didn’t particularly care whatever you called yourselves, or whatever you planned, as long as you didn’t drag me into it . ”
After Jin’s remark Elsa couldn’t stop herself from looking Jin in the face .
“But, this time is unacceptable . You kidnapped Elsa . You made her cry . You hurt Elsa’s nanny . You are…My enemies . ”
Elsa had never seen Jin with a face this grim . But she didn’t think it scary in the slightest . Rather, it made Elsa feel relieved . As long as she was protected by this person, she wouldn’t have to fear anything . That’s how she thought .
“I’ll spare only your lives . Go back and tell that to your comrades . If you make any more moves on my friends, that day will be the day Unifilers get destroyed . ”
“Y-you must be joking, eh? You think you can take on us Unifilers by yourself?”
Even this late in the game, Purcell acted tough .
In contrast to Purcell, Jin put her hand on Elsa’s shoulder and,
“By myself? I’m not by myself, am I? I’ve got companions I can trust, and friends I must protect . ”
He said, then looked at Reiko, Dahlia, Canna, and said,
“I’ve also got children I can rely on . ”
At those words Dahlia and Canna took a step forward . Purcell looked at the two golems that had approximately the same build as Elsa and,
“Y-you were a Magi Craftsman, right eh? You think those dainty golems can bring down my imperial guards?”
He said, and then to the pitch-black golems on his sides,
“Repel them!”
Purcell gave the order . Jin merely said,
“It’s okay to use your full power . ”
The two golems understood that alone, and in an instant grabbed the pitch-black golems from behind, and poured on an electric shock of 10,000,000 volts .
It wasn’t the stun mode that wouldn’t give humans permanent damage, but mighty lightning-type magic . Under that might the golems’ exteriors partially melted, and through the created hole jumped in and easily pierced the golems’ Control Cores, destroying them .
The characteristic smell of ozone wafted in the room, the pitch-black golems collapsed at nearly the same time, and as their metal bodies hit the stone floor there was a high-pitched sound .
“E-eeek!”
Seeing that, Purcell wasn’t able to stand up due to his fear . But Jin gave him the final blow .
“If that’s what happens to golems, what would happen to a person? Dahlia . ”
“Yes, let’s try it out . ”
“Eeek! Eeeeaaaaaah!”

Dahlia simply came closer to him and Purcell fainted . Foam came out of his mouth and the pants he was wearing got wet . Apparently he peed his pants .
Seeing that, Jin sighed and turned to look at Elsa next to him .
“How about that? Do you feel a bit better?”
He said . Elsa smiled just a bit and nodded,
“Mm . Thanks . ”
She replied .
Jin looked at Purcell who had wet his pants and looked like he had no other choice as he gave orders .
“Ah, that’s disgusting . Dahlia, drag him along as we go out, but take care that you don’t touch his wet clothes .
“Yes, Chief . ”
Then Dahlia grabbed Purcell by the collar and dragged him out of the stronghold . Jin and Elsa went ahead of her . Because they didn’t want to walk through a hallway dripping with urine .
Outside the fortress the Light Balls Jin had lit were still floating .
Some of the black-masked men who were gathered in a bundle were groaning . It appeared that they would wake up soon .
Jin took out a Magi Crystal from his pocket and got closer to the unconscious Purcell . Then,
“[Transfer Info Level 6] . ”
He copied the information relating to the Unifilers . By analyzing this he would surely get to know all sorts of things about the Unifilers .
“Hey, wake up . I said wake up . ”
“U…uuuhh…”
Jin called out multiple times to Purcell who had been thrown down at his feet, and finally he appeared to have woken up .
Because he had crashed into things all around while being dragged, his robe was worn out and his cloak too was torn out in places .
“So you’re finally awake . ”
“Eek!”
Realizing that Jin was looking down him, Purcell drew back from fear .
“Good grief, so they mean people like you when they speak of an ass in the lion’s skin . ”
While saying so, Jin looked Reiko who was waiting nearby in the face . Just that was enough for Reiko to understand and,
“Father, the units from Sky-71 to Sky-75 are in the skies, ready for your command . ”
She replied .
Jin turned to face Purcell and the black-masked men who had woken up and,
“Listen, withdraw from your foolish ambition of something like unifying the continent . This is a warning . There won’t be a second one . ”

He told them . The men listened to him silently .
Next Jin gave a short indication .
“Reiko . ”
After receiving that, Reiko gave instructions through her ManaCom to the high-altitude Air Force .
Immediately afterwards, pillars of light poured down . There were ten of them . It goes without saying that they were [Laser] lights .
Every plane beamed at maximum power from both of their installed cannons . The energy stimulated the Ether in the atmosphere, giving the technically invisible light rays visible traces .
Exposed to ten laser beams, in an instant the granite composing the stronghold evaporated . Because the light came from flying vehicles, moving the beams’ target point took less than a second .
As a result, in an instant a little over 70 percent of the stronghold had evaporated into nothingness .
“Whwhawha–wh…”
Starting with Purcell, the conscious black-masked men became frozen with fear en masse .
“Listen, this is final . ‘Do . Not . Get . Involved . With . Us . '”
“Y-yeeees!”
This time everyone replied together .
Jin gave their miserable state one look and,
“Elsa, will this do? I could also kill them all but… That’s a little much, no?”
He asked of Elsa who was by him watching .
Elsa suddenly nodded .
“Mm . This, will do . ”
Seeing that, Jin said,
“Alright, well, let’s go . ”
He then gave a pat on Elsa’s shoulder and they began walking slowly . The moon was shining in the middle of the sky .
