Three gray figures flew at high speed directly above the forest, heading towards that target.
"That place, once we get there, that place!"
"Ughhhhhh..."
The two gargoyles in front heard the screams coming from behind them, and at the same time, one of the flapping wing sounds disappeared.
They dared not stop, nor dared they look back.
The monster-slaying machine, that terrifying monster-slaying machine, is no longer even worth mentioning.
Was it because they fled that the initial teasing turned into a direct, forceful attack?
Accelerate, keep accelerating.
Even if the wings become fatigued from high-intensity flight, it cannot stop here.
"Don't stop! As long as you don't stop, I still have hope of living!"
This is their struggle to survive!
"call……"
Once again, a different sound was heard. The gargoyle leader, flying at the very front, heard the sound.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of wings flapping that had been behind him disappeared.
Its companions, its last companion, are probably all doomed too.
Now, it has both good news and bad news.
Good news: The castle is in sight, and it looks like it won't be long before we arrive.
Bad news: It's the only gargoyle left, and we don't know if it will survive.
"No, what do you mean by whether I can survive? I must survive!"
For the sake of my life, for the sake of seeing tomorrow's sun, how could I possibly give up at this moment?!
The gargoyle is on fire!
It has already seen the vampire castle and the other monsters around it. Success is just one step away...?
"call……"
With a flap of its wings, it saw the scene before it blur, and the vampire castle in front of it disappeared, leaving only a silent forest.
"How is that possible?"
"Does it seem strange? It's actually just a very simple application of water elemental magic."
A voice appeared beside my ear; it was a human voice, and it sounded quite gentle.
But for some reason, even without seeing the person's face, just hearing their voice, the gargoyle leader felt an instinctive fear.
This guy, just by his aura, he made me lose my courage?
Ignoring the gargoyle leader's current feelings, El continued his explanation.
"By refracting light through water vapor, I did something simple: project the phantom of the vampire castle in the exact opposite direction."
Your initial fear clouded your sense of direction, which I took advantage of.
So the harder you try to escape, the further you get from that direction…
Upon hearing this, the gargoyle leader turned his head and looked at the creature that had appeared beside him, the monster they had been talking about, the monster-slaying machine.
It saw an ordinary human being, and also saw scenes it could not have imagined.
"What is this?! What the hell???"
What did it see? It saw a white brain and a gray heart inside a blue water sphere, a total of five pairs of organs floating in mid-air.
"Can't you tell, your companions? They're right here, not one of them missing."
It has to be said that you gargoyles produce far too little meat, which is a real shame.
Fear can enhance your deliciousness, so it's not in vain that I put in some effort..."
El took the opportunity to share his tips and tricks for cooking gargoyles with the gargoyle leader.
The gargoyle leader is now on the verge of collapse.
"Don't come near me..."
