Although Darnic did not know what the other party was going to do, he knew that as long as he stopped what the other party wanted to do, it would be fine. For example, the other party was now riding the 'floating fortress' and trying to come to their family's castle, so he had to stop the other party!
"Are the spells in the first to third positions intact?"
"Intact!"
"Activate them all!"
"Yes!"
Compared to Darnic's serious voice, the homunculus's voice was more rigid, but it was precisely because of their rigidity that they would never cut corners in their work, because they simply did not have the emotion of laziness.
On the other side, with Darnic's command, strange magic patterns suddenly lit up on the ground outside the castle, and as the magic patterns lit up, one homunculus after another fell directly beside these spells.
There was no doubt that they were the source of magical power for these spells!
Perhaps this kind of industrialized method could mass-produce homunculi, but the price was that their physical fitness and magical circuits were degraded. They were born to be consumables and were squeezed of their last bit of value when needed.
And with the death of the homunculi, the spells were completely activated. Instantly, several beams of magical light shot from the ground towards the 'fortress' in the sky. The terrifying magical power even slightly twisted the air, but just as they were about to reach the 'fortress', several stone slabs suddenly moved in the direction of the magical beams, and then——————
"Boom!!"
Purple lightning instantly erupted from the stone slabs. After a standoff in mid-air for a while, the purple lightning completely split the magical beams and fiercely hit the ground.
"Slap~!!"
The spells completely collapsed, and the corpses of the homunculi lying on the ground were completely turned into dust.
"All spells in the first position have been destroyed! More than half of the spells in the second position have been destroyed, the third position..."
"Overload all the spells!!"
The cost of overloading was self-evident. Even if they stopped afterwards, these spells would probably become completely useless, and during a battle, they might even self-destruct at any time, but it was clear that even without overloading, they might not last much longer.
"Have the other positions get ready!"
With Darnic's command, the originally empty magical beams instantly became much thicker, but the spells carved on various carriers were not leaking magical power. It was clear that the spells were no longer able to perfectly control the excessive magical power that was being injected...
"Bang~!"
The magical beams instantly became several times thicker, but then they instantly collapsed...
Purple lightning and magical beams of various colors illuminated the entire night sky.
It was clear that Darnic had not expected that the positions he had spent so many years building would fail, and on the other side, Semiramis also seemed to have not expected Yggdmillennia's counterattack to be so exaggerated. Although it seemed that she had won with an almost overwhelming force, the price was a massive magical power expenditure...
The commanders of both sides watched the projection in front of them with serious expressions, but there was no doubt that the situation was gradually tilting towards the Red Faction, as the other party's 'fortress', although moving slowly, was still constantly advancing...
"Caster! What's the situation!"
Darnic couldn't help but urge, looking at the constantly advancing floating fortress on the projection, and Caster's voice came from the empty clearing.
"It's done. I am activating it now."
On the other side, Caster, or Avicebron, in the Golem Factory, slightly tilted his head to look at the young man beside him, and the other party also seemed to notice his gaze and turned to him with an excited expression.
"Teacher!! Your wish has finally come true!"
Roche looked incomparably excited at this time. As a magus who had made 'golems' his lifelong goal, he felt incredibly honored to be able to personally see and even participate in the creation of this 'Noble Phantasm' in front of him. Now, being able to personally see it activate, he felt a joy that was beyond words.
"Yes, although it's complete, it's a pity that the 'core' is still a bit lacking. I don't know how long it can last..."
Roche seemed to have heard the disappointment in his Servant's, or teacher's, voice, and he gave the other party a thumbs-up.
"It's okay, Teacher! Now that we know how to make it, we will definitely be able to create an even stronger 'Golem' next time!"
"Yes..."
At this time, Roche had no idea that he had just taken a walk through the gates of hell.
There was no doubt that Caster still hadn't found a 'homunculus' that he was completely satisfied with as the core until the end, but he had a backup plan—to turn his Master into the core.
Although he hadn't tested it before, the other party had the qualifications to be a core since he could summon him. But in the end, he gave up. It wasn't that he was afraid of harming Roche and then being killed. After all, having already died once, he didn't care about these things at all. For him, if he could fulfill his 'wish', he would be willing to die as many times as it took, not just once. He was just afraid that if he were to harm his Master in the Yggdmillennia family's castle, this 'Noble Phantasm' that had just been completed would be destroyed. After all, fusing a core was not a simple matter, and the time it took would be enough for Darnic to do a lot of things.
Although he was not completely trusted by the other party either, as the first Servant to appear, he had used his ability to understand some of the secrets of the Yggdmillennia family's castle, but even so, he had not found all the spells. He wasn't even sure if he had found half of them. And these spells alone would be enough to destroy the 'Giant' that had not yet been fully born...
He was not afraid of death. What he was afraid of was his Noble Phantasm being destroyed before it was fully activated.
"Hah~ Let's begin, Roche."
"Yes! Teacher!"
He personally pushed the cart and delivered a white-haired homunculus to his Servant. Avicebron immediately stiffened the other party's arm and threw it towards his 'Noble Phantasm'.
The homunculus finally woke up after it came into contact with the 'Noble Phantasm', but having not been given any instructions, it was completely swallowed by the 'Noble Phantasm' without any resistance, as if it were a puppet.
And as it was swallowed, the 'Noble Phantasm' that was originally soaked in the magical liquid began to emit a shimmering light. Then, amidst Roche's excited shouts, it gradually stood up.
"Is this the thing I've been pursuing..."
Even though his wish had been fulfilled, Avicebron felt an indescribable sense of emptiness...
