Chapter 67
“What do you think?”

As I put my hand on the gryphon statue and proceed to analyze it, Ebelheid calls out to me .
“I have a feeling that there is a mix of bird strain magic . There was a clockbird feather, right? Next time, let’s try to assimilate that one a bit . ”
“Okay . ”
The former hobgoblin chief’s mouth quivered in a threatening manner .
He is not a hobgoblin, as he has already undergone several modifications . It would be correct to call it a goblin chimera .
This is the first time I’ve made a chimera of this size, so I’m a little excited .
I’ve decided to name the three goblins Goblin creatures Goburo, Gobuko, and Gobuto in my mind .
It’s not that they’re all male, though .
Ebelheid takes a feather from the investigator and places it on Goburo’s back .
He then opens the lid of the vial and sprinkles the liquid inside onto goburo’s back .
Ebelheid holds out his hand to Goburo .
“Assimilate”
It glows with a flash, and the water is sucked into its back .
Ebelheid does not use his wand . The ring seems to do the job .
I like that kind of thing . I’ll make one next time I have some money .

“Then I’ll try it out slowly, so let’s move it along, please . ”
“Yeah, I know . ”
I also point my staff to the magic stone embedded in the section of Goburo .
The magic stone is attached to the center, and a magic circle is carved into its neck . This is to use Goburo’s magic power .
Goburo raises his hand and touches the base of the gryphon statue when the magic power is channeled to the magical stone .
Magic power flows to the statue through Goburo’s hand .
I touch the Gryphon statue and analyze the flow .
“Nice! That’s a good response! But I feel like I’m one step away from reaching it…”
I point my wand at the magic stone and proceed with the analysis while adjusting the magic power flowing to Goburo .
“Shall we change roles once?”
“No, let me explore some more…… Let me become a little bit more familiar with the clockbird …… There’s an accumulated magic power behind the corner……Ah, As I thought forget that! Keep it up! It’s good as it is!”
The gryphon statue turned red as if it had been heated by high temperatures…… and in the next moment, it collapsed .
Because they were interlocked through the wards, the gryphon statue that was in a different position also turned to powder and dissipated in four pieces .
“Yes! I did it! The outer part of the triple-structured warding should have stopped functioning!”
“…… Now we can see what’s ahead . If we keep this up, we may even be able to break all the wards before the end of the day . ”

“Yes! Let’s just do it in a flash!” “Hey, did you see that? Now, the wards…”
I turned around and saw the investigators and Wegener looking at us like they were taken aback .
“Gosh, poor goblins…”
One of the investigators muttered to himself .
“It’s a demon…… . . ”
“Look at him, he’s blinking and foaming . It’s like he’s about to die . ”
“How do you have these weird spots? Is he okay? I think it’s going to spew some weird miasma or something . ”
“Isn’t that goblin looking at the air?”
“Maybe it’s seeing visions of your parents or something . ”
Hey, hey, you guys were hunting hobgoblins too .
You can’t do that to yourself…… You could’ve just celebrated us .
Why are you getting all goblin-patriotic all of a sudden?
Even if you leave them alive, they will only put other people in danger .
“…… Hey, do that brat have the permission to use bio magic?”
“I, I don’t know…… However, since Ebelheid-sama should have it, and as a front that they moved as Eberhard-sama’s subject, I don’t see a problem with it…”
“But, no matter how you look at it, that brat is not . If a little boy of that age had a permit for bio magic, I would have heard about it . Isn’t that a violation of state law?”
“………… They look like Ebelheid-sama’s subject to me”

“Hey, look into this Wegener’s eyes and say that again, hey . ”
Wegener grabbed one of the investigators and is talking about something disturbing .
Don’t tell me you need to have permission for bio magic?
Is there something like a car license?
That’s true, I also feel that if an amateur use bio magic, something horrible will happen…… Was there such a stinking rule?
…… I kinda want to return to the sticks where the law reaches now .
I wish that it’s not that thoroughly managed .
I moved along the other gryphon statues and released the double-eye wards again .
The gryphon statue that was linked to the double-eye ward collapses . Only one last thing remains, the triple eye .
The only victims of this were Goburo and Gobuko, who died .
Goburo’s death was probably due to his physical limitations, but Gobuko’s death was my fault .
We have to break through the final wards with Gobuto alone .
If Gobuto doesn’t work, we’ll need to catch other goblins .
Should I have added a few more live ones? I didn’t expect that the bio magic would be so difficult .
There’s also a lot of pressure since it’s the last one .
I hope I can get through it somehow…… . .
“I’m counting on you, Gobuto . ”
I called out to Gobuto, which the investigator was carrying on his back .
Gobuto just stared at the ceiling with dead eyes .
I take on the last gryphon statue .
After sufficiently analyzing the Gryphon statue with magical power, I immediately tried to transform Gobuto’s magic .
Just like the first and second time, it was close to a grand bargain, and a part of the magical beasts with a biased tendency to magic power was sent to Gobuto to assimilate with it .
“Ebelheid-san . ”
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s a bit of a problem . I think we should destroy this statue and then move on to analyzing the other statues that are linked to it . ”
There is a trap in this statue .
It’s a disgusting contraption that will work if you try to solve it in a straightforward manner .
“So you noticed it . But do you think you can break it?”
“I won’t know unless I try, but I’m confident that I can do it . But then, I’m sure I’ll damage the passage as well . ”
“That’s a lot of confidence . ‘Don’t worry, we’ll just knock it down . That’s what you’re here for, you know . I have a hidden card to do it when the time comes . ”
Ebelheid points the bag filled with high-grade magic stones at me .
If Ebelheid isn’t worried about it, it’s okay…… I think?
Honestly speaking, I don’t know how much of a threat the traps could pose where they are activated .
I’ll leave these judgments to Ebelheid .
