Chapter 166
“Let’s get out of here for now . ”
Ian’s quiet voice was heard .
The situation inside the cave has been sorted out that way .
“Drdragon! Breath!”
(Grrrr! Grk! Grrrraaa!)
The battle at the entrance of the cave was hundred folds fiercer than the inner cave one, as far as the fighting was concerned . Furthermore, they were being pushed back .
Although the six drdragons were very strong, it was impossible to take on all the gargoyles that were charging in droves with no regards for their own lives . Ultimately, the rear line was left in charge of the fairy clan and Helenelia, but that’s where the problem began .
(Haaaaa! Hah! Phew… . . !)
Unlike the six drdragons that possessed unlimited stamina, and the masters who possessed un-diminishable life force, the fairy clan and Helenelia were ‘life forms’ . That was, there were limits to physical and mental stamina . It was no wonder that they were getting sick of the endless waves of gargoyles’ onslaught, as well as exhausted .
(For crying out loud, how much longer… . . !)
Breathing coarsely, Helenelia, once again, went on the gargoyle hunting . Before she had departed, she even downed a bottle of harp elixir that Ian’s alchemists had prepared for her . Although it helped, it was still difficult .
(Was there a problem?)
“If so, everyone has no choice, but will die . ”
Jervio replied to Helenelia’s murmuring . He was directly blockading the gargoyles himself, after having gotten off the drdragon’s back . Although he wasn’t as good as Oliver, he was rather masterful in his own right .
“Ah, you guys . We are not able to die . I envy you . ”
Jervio hurriedly corrected his words . The two hatchets in his hands were hacking the gargoyles’ bodies . He had handedly performed the work of one man .
(The queen is on her way!)
Then a several members of the fairy clan shouted . They were the members who were able to communicate telepathically with the queen, and soon everyone began to see a hope . If they were to join forces with Ian and Evantus’ magic, the pendulum of victory would easily swing in their favor .
“Please move . ”
However, the situation has turned differently from how everyone thought .
Evantus was half unconscious and being helped by the Fairy Queen, and Ian, too, was projecting somewhat of a different ambience . No matter what, they were expecting the two to be immediately using magic, but not even mana was being gathered, let alone, initiating any magic .
“Have everyone move out . Everyone . ”
Instead, the king of the gargoyles was flat on the ground, being dragged by Oliver’s hands . There was a sword which was pointed on the back of its head as well . Since the difference in size was enormous, it was impossible to handle it like a human prisoner .
(Krrrrkk… . . ?)
(Krrr! Krrrk!)

At the gruesome sight of the king, the gargoyles hesitated . Even the ferocious movements, filled with madness, have stopped . It wasn’t simply because he was a member of their kind, or a king . But, it was only because of the after-effects of the small control, which only the king could exercise .
“Good… . . Do not stop . ”
Ian whispered into the king of the gargoyles . The only way to escape was by threatening the bastard, like this way . It was because, at this time, portals, teleportation, or even a broad scale magic to open a passage weren’t possible .
(Krrrrkk… . . !)
All round the entrance of the cave, and even the sky .
The gargoyles that had filled every passage way .
The bastards began to move away slowly .
Unless something else happened, there will open up an escape route, soon .
‘Even though the bastards had wings . ’
As long as they were under the control of the dragon, they would not go out beyond the mountain range to terrorize . Unless that was the case, there was no way that they could have remained so calm, even to this day?
“We are going to escape . Please be ready . ”
“You cannot open a portal?”
“It is difficult at this time .

Ian replied to Bertholdo, the tailor’s question . He was given unlimited mana, how was it that it was difficult? There were questions, but he decided not to ask . It wasn’t the right time to ask detailed questions?
(Kkkkk! Kkkk! Kkkk!)
That’s when something else happened . The captured king of the gargoyles made strange sounds . It was as if he was laughing out loud .
“… . . ?”
Ian and Oliver felt something strange as well .
They immediately checked on the bastard’s face .
“No!”
The bastard was damaging the dead bodies of his clan, which were spread all around, on the ground . The reason was simple . It was so that he could pick out the ‘eyes’, which was the source of the gargoyle’s unique ‘petrification’ power, and holds the power of no dimension .
“Eyes… . !”
However, it was already too late . The bastard has already absorbed the powers that were contained in the eyes . As a proof, the bastard’s body began the process of petrification . The ‘king’s petrification’ which even the dragon could not destroy .
‘No . ’
It was at the moment of when the king of the gargoyles no longer became a prisoner .

(Krrrrraaaahhhk-!)
Just before the final stage of petrification, the bastard let out a frightening shriek .
At the same time, the retreating gargoyles began to charge again . It was because the weak control has dissipated . At this moment, they were nothing, but mad monsters .
Although they lacked the character of harmony, in order to crush Ian and his team who were before their eyes, they might even form a temporary team .
‘Who would have thought that such thing was possible… . .
Ian ground his teeth . He regretted big time . It was ‘complacency’ that was the problem, from allowing accompanying petrification to happen, to now . That was, it was the problem, resulting from the complacency that he had .
‘Something, something must be done… . . !’
It was then .
Including Ian and his team .
And the countless number of the gargoyles, too .
A sound that attracted their attentions was heard .
Koookoookooooooo-!
Shaking the entire mountain range with its thunderous roar, and dare to describe it, ‘a sound of something enormous endlessly spinning’ was approaching from the distant sky .
