* * *

Zun, zun, zun!!

To eliminate the intruder.

To fulfill the mission he was given, the humanoid magic robot, ‘Steel Sam’, runs, shaking the room.

His stocky body is huge.

His height is about twice that of an adult man.

And his body, covered in heavy armor, is thick and wide.

And it’s rushing towards her at a tremendous speed.

It’s a terrifying sight that would make an ordinary person faint!

“Bushuu!!”

Steel Sam, having closed the distance between himself and Emi in an instant, swung the greatsword in his left hand horizontally, releasing steam from the exhaust port on his waist!

VWOON!!

That attack, unleashed at an incredible speed, flew towards Emi!

“............”

But Emi is used to fighting.

She calmly grasped the greatsword’s trajectory, and dodged the attack by crouching down.

And the moment the greatsword passed over her head, she jumped!

Spinning in the air, she aimed for Steel Sam’s head.

With her superhuman strength, she’s ready to crush it.

But!

“Bushuu!!”

Steel Sam is a humanoid magic robot, not a human.

For a human, the large swing after an attack would be a fatal opening.

But not for him!

Pakaka!

Steel Sam, detecting Emi, who had jumped and gone on the offensive, with the magic sensor on his head, immediately deployed the armor on both shoulders!

What emerged from them were magic machine guns!

RATATATATATATA!!

And of course, a rain of magic ore bullets poured out from them.

Even Emi wouldn’t take that head-on, so she gave up on attacking Steel Sam, and deployed her 【Black Arms】 in front of her.

Using them as shields, she blocked the rain of bullets.

But Emi wasn’t just hiding.

After being knocked down by the force of the magic ore bullets and landing on the floor, Emi, while continuing to defend with her 【Black Arm】 shields, secretly extended her 【Magic Slash Threads】, whipping them at Steel Sam... but it’s not very effective.

The paint on his armor chipped, and small cuts appeared, but that’s all.

This Steel Sam... was naturally created during the era of the super ancient magical civilization, a masterpiece made with the best technology of the time.

Its defensive power is... incredibly high.

And this particular unit was designed with high resistance to magic attacks.

It’s a bad match for 【Magic Slash Threads】.

She’ll have to crush it directly.

It was just as Emi had made that decision!

VWOON!!

“!!”

Steel Sam, while continuing to fire from the magic machine guns on both shoulders, swung the greatsword in his right hand down at Emi!

The 【Black Arms】 are jet-black, and when used as shields, they block most of Emi’s vision.

Therefore, she couldn’t see him preparing to attack.

By the time she noticed, Steel Sam’s greatsword was about to smash into her head!

“Rah!!”

But just in the nick of time!

Emi swiftly moved both hands, catching the greatsword between them, as if clapping, and blocked the attack!

MEGO!

The metal floor of the labyrinth dented, centered on Emi’s body, as she caught the super heavy greatsword, swung down at an incredible speed.

But Emi is unharmed.

“............”

Emi then looked around.

Parts of what used to be Steel Sam were scattered all over, emitting black smoke and sparks.

And the next thing that caught her eye was the right arm part.

The part from the shoulder down was lying on the floor, sparking and occasionally convulsing.

The greatsword attached to its palm is still there too.

“............”

Emi walked over to the arm, and casually... stomped on the greatsword, right in the middle.

BAKIIN!!

The greatsword snapped in half, making a hard sound.

Bakin... bakin, bakin...!

Emi then repeatedly stomped on the greatsword, smashing it to pieces.

Her foot also went through the floor beneath the greatsword, so... the surrounding area is full of holes.

“............”

After crushing the greatsword, Emi then picked up Steel Sam’s giant right hand with both hands... and swung it, slamming it onto the floor.

Gashaaan!!

The elbow part was destroyed by the impact, and the part from the elbow to the shoulder was blown away.

“............”

And then, Emi, staring at the part of the arm from the elbow to the palm, remaining in her hand, tore off the wrist part with brute force.

Then, throwing the palm away, she grabbed the armor of the arm, and tore it vertically.

Tearing it into small pieces...

Crushing it.

Throwing it away.

...And sometimes eating it.

Emi continued this meaningless destruction, not only on the arm... but on all the parts scattered around, for a while.

What she’s doing is... taking out her frustration.

Robots are good.

They’re sturdy, and she doesn’t have to worry about their dignity, since they’re inanimate objects.

She can use violence without restraint.

And since there’s no one around, she’s letting out her mana and killing intent, which she usually suppresses.

Now that she has gained considerable power, opportunities to recklessly unleash her power like this are very valuable to Emi.

Emi enjoyed destroying Steel Sam... slowly, for a while.

* * *

“............”

Emi, having satisfied herself after rampaging for a while, calming her evil heart, once again faced the door with the History of Neverfall depicted on it.

She had destroyed the mechanism for opening this door, in her haste.

In other words, in the end...

She’ll have to force it open.

“............”

Emi put both hands on the door and slowly... started to apply force.

Gu... gugu...

Gugu, gugu...

BAKIN!

Then, a hard, breaking sound echoed.

The lock is probably broken.

Gugugugugu...

Emi continued to apply force.

And then, the door...

This super heavy door, not intended to be opened manually...

Gi... gi... gi...

It made a noise like a groan of agony.

Slowly, slowly... it began to open.
