Flora raised the weapon Harmon had given her.

At that moment, Flora’s weapon, which had simply been a short stick, unfolded magnificently and transformed into a hollow sword with only a blade.

As Flora pressed the button, a light filled the empty space inside the blade, forming a sword of light in Flora’s grasp.

Laser Sword. A weapon given to Flora by Harmon.

Flora looked at the group of wanderers running over the barrier.

“Tsk.”

And clicked his tongue.

The group of wanderers all looked haggard, as if they were about to die, but that was only a physical characteristic of the wanderers.

That running speed. That wild shouting.

All of this proves that they are vibrant and full of energy.

There is only one reason why they can be so energetic while being wanderers. It is because they are strong. They are wanderers who can survive by plundering things steadily.

“Not good, not good. Candy, what do you think?”

Flora called out to the humanoid standing next to her.

A humanoid from the Guldari Guild.

300 standard. For home use.

It is the smallest of the humanoids and is intended for home use, so it doesn’t require much strength, and as such, it has relatively weak muscle strength for a humanoid.

Sure, it can be used to rearrange furniture, so it can easily carry and move something like a giant refrigerator, but it’s no match for Undine, who can exert tons of strength for combat.

Candy said, straightening her signature lollipop-like, multi-colored hair that was blowing in the wind.

“A strong energy response is observed. It is believed that there are multiple threatening weapons.”

“What is the number?”

“There are 43 normal individuals. There are 10 mutants.”

“Total 53… …That’s a lot.”

53 wanderers. It was a number far less than the Guldari Guild, but it was not something to let down your guard. Each wanderer had the strength of 10 normal people.

As if to prove it, the wanderers were carrying huge weapons that ordinary collectors would not dare to lift.

All sorts of weapons, bigger than the laser gun Isaiah had heard of before Prosciutto, glow with menacing light.

And as if to let us know that the mass was no joke, one of the drifters took up a pose.

“Khaaa!”

He just threw down his weapon.

“Crazy!”

“I threw that!”

The thrown weapon collided directly with the barrier.

Kwaaang!

It exploded and destroyed the barrier.

“Eww!”

“Fuck! Aaaah! It’s hot!”

Guild members caught in the explosion scream.

Flora stared at it for a moment, then suddenly saw a laser flying next to her.

Isaiah’s laser quickly reached the wandering group and struck the largest wandering leader.

Kiiing!!

A laser barrage that would wipe out any normal living creature from the world in an instant.

However, the suit worn by the Wandering Captain blocked the laser and protected his master.

“Kaaa …

Of course, he didn’t endure it unscathed, so the wandering leader scratched the chest area of his hot suit with his hand, complaining of pain and spitting up blood.

“Yeah. It’ll work out somehow.”

Isaiah watched it quietly, then moved the prosciutto and took out the fuel tank.

Push!

The fuel tank pops out from the open side with a sound of air escaping, and a new tank is put in.

As the fuel tank was replaced, Prosciutto greedily drank the fuel inside the new tank and transformed it into a laser once again.

Isaiah, with a belt of fuel cans hanging from his shoulder, looked at the recharged prosciutto and said.

“It’s okay.”

“Isaiah.”

“Captain, Candy and I will suppress him. The problem is the other mutants… … .”

“That can be done by me and the executives.”

Isaiah chuckled as Flora smiled confidently.

“Then what about the other wanderers?”

“My men will do it. Right, guys?!”

When Flora shouts, the Guldari Guild members who were listening to the conversation roar.

Isaiah heard the roar and jumped down from the barrier with Candy, landing on the ground and taunting the wandering leader who was glaring at him.

“Look here, you little brat! Are you standing up?!”

As a man, he could not dare to ignore the provocation, so the wandering leader turned his eyes and ran towards Isaiah, and Isaiah and Candy simultaneously bumped into the wandering leader.

Kuuung!

Candy, who had stepped forward first, hastily defended herself as the wandering leader swung his arms at a terrifying speed.

Kikkik!

The internal structures misalign, rub, and scream.

Candy said with a startled expression.

“The power is no joke!”

“I guess I should change my expression in this situation!”

Isaiah shouted and swung the prosciutto, and the wandering captain blocked it with his other arm.

The moment the attack was blocked, Isaiah opened the closed gun barrel without hesitation and fired the laser.

Kiiing!!

“Gaaah!”

A wandering captain screaming as he is swept by lasers at close range. However, his body is intact except for some parts melting away.

“This is ridiculous! What kind of body structure is this?! How can a living thing withstand a laser!”

Candy looked away from her surprised expression and studied the wandering leader closely before speaking.

“It seems like the body is made of metal cells. It has the characteristics of a living organism, but also has strong characteristics of metal.”

“Prosciutto can even vaporize metals?!”

“That’s because the creature in front of you is no ordinary creature. Seriously, don’t make me say such obvious things. In this situation.”

Candy grumbles, puffing out her cheeks.

Isaiah was dumbfounded when he saw that.

“You got mad because I said something about my changed expression a little while ago.”

“Hohoho, what are you talking about?”

“Wow, really. It’s so different from Undine.”

“I miss him. I’ve never seen a humanoid like him before.”

Candy, who was saying such things, was hit by a kick from the wandering leader and flew away, and Isaiah hastily shot a fuel tank through the muzzle of a gun to restrain the wandering leader.

The wandering captain ignored the fuel can that flew in front of his face, but the fuel can that Harmon had made himself emitted flames as soon as it touched the wandering captain, spraying the remaining oil.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The wandering captain’s face is instantly engulfed in flames.

A flame that would render a normal creature unable to move due to excruciating pain, and even if they could move, their eyes, which are sensitive to heat, would quickly become cooked and they would lose their eyesight.

But the wandering captain roughly wiped the sparks from his face with his hand and glared at Isaiah with his still gleaming eyes.

at that time.

Candy pops out and dropkicks the Wandering Captain.

Boom!

As the wandering captain was pushed away with a loud noise, Isaiah asked while putting in a new fuel tank.

“Are there any weaknesses in metal cells?”

“Almost none. It is resistant to heat, electricity, and at the same time, thanks to its biological characteristics, it is also resistant to cold. As a byproduct of the Perfect Life Project, the creature made of metal cells is extremely complete as a creature.”

“That’s right.”

While Isaiah and Candy were suppressing the wandering leader, the Guldari Guild was waging war against other wanderers.

And then, a drone was watching it from a distance.

* * *

“Hmm.”

Harmon had activated all of his garage’s defenses and was watching the battle between the Guldari Guild and the wandering group.

‘Flora.’

Flora was wielding a laser sword made by Harmon and fighting off two mutant wanderers.

The Laser Sword, which had a lower output than the Prosciutto but could maintain the laser for a long time with less oil, boasted both a flashy appearance and sufficient power as a weapon.

In fact, the prosciutto was a bit excessive.

If used on small machines, it would melt or vaporize the entire machine, making it impossible to make a profit, so it can only be used on machines that are large enough and require somewhat advanced technology and materials.

On the other hand, the laser sword made for Flora was a kind of finished product that had all of those shortcomings removed.

Flora swung her laser sword to cut down the weapons of the wanderers swinging at her from close range, fired lasers from the tip of her sword to melt and knock away the weapons the wanderers threw from afar, and occasionally emitted intense light like a flashbang to blind the wanderers.

As much care was taken to create a character that could be used in a variety of situations, Flora was leading the battlefield by standing out on one side.

The same goes for others.

Garlic, who created the reinforced exoskeleton.

There were also collectors who liked Harmon and gave him various items as gifts.

They are showing outstanding performance and are maintaining an even balance in the overall unfavorable situation.

If they hadn’t been there, the Guldari Guild would have been swept away by the vagabonds in no time.

It is clearly an ideal and satisfactory situation for Harmon.

The Guldari Guild would trust Harmon even more and rely even more on his skills, and it was clear that Harmon’s reputation would rise after this incident.

but.

“Hmm. I’d like to take this opportunity to test the performance of the robot I made.”

That part was disappointing.

A fake Undine was sent to Domi as a performance test, but Domi was so fond of the fake Undine that he did not use it in battle.

If it breaks again before it’s completely fixed, it’ll be a big problem.

‘… Let’s give it a try.’

Harmon connected himself to the most human-like robot he had ever created, one with artificial skin attached to it.

The robot that received the signal opened its eyes and began to put on all sorts of equipment scattered around the basement on its body as Harmon directed.

A powered suit that covers the entire body to hide the fact that it is a robot from Candy.

Combat drone.

A small mechanical creature modeled after Tigris.

A popular laser weapon created by applying the laser technology learned while making prosciutto and laser swords.

After carrying a bunch of other things he wanted to test but couldn’t, Harmon sent the robot out.

“Name. Right. If someone asks, I need a name to give. Okay. Name is… Pepperoni.”

Harmon, who had finished setting the name, sat down deeply in the chair.

‘I also want to work on the humanoids of the Guldari Guild.’
