Adelia asked Scarlet if she had ever neutralized a golem during the Waron battle. It is difficult to know everything that happens around during a battle, but Scarlet sometimes uses her power to neutralize the fear of soldiers or the magic-like power used by monsters. Therefore, Scarlet's ability is more of an auxiliary ability than a practical one in combat. Adelia thought that it was possible for the Duke's golem to have appeared somewhere on the battlefield and been damaged by Scarlet's neutralizing wave. Scarlet is a psychic among the Temple's psychics, but her ability is not very well known for its efficiency in destruction. Scarlet has a very unique ability that surpasses magic or psychic powers that do not work. The Duke looked at Scarlet, who was apologizing, and seemed to have found an unexpected answer in a completely unexpected place. Adelia brought Scarlet to calm the Duke down, meaning that the monsters did not use dispel to neutralize the golem. However, Adelia could read an unusual expression on the Duke's face. "However... however..."
"Are you okay?"
The Duke gently patted Scarlet's shoulder as she trembled like a cedar tree.
Of course, Scarlet's expression was gradually dying in real time due to the Duke's reassuring pat.
"But we need to know for sure what happened."
-Click!
The Duke snapped his fingers.
Then a golem was summoned from the air.
The Duke looked at Scarlet and asked, "Can you neutralize it?"
"Yes... yes?"
Scarlet, as well as other magicians and Adelia, were surprised by the sudden proposal.
"We need to know how much power you have so that we can know what to be careful of when operating golems in the future."
"Oh... is that so..."
As if convinced by the Duke's words, Scarlet approached the golem that the Duke had summoned, cautiously.
When Scarlet approached the golem carefully and touched its body, it didn't take long.
-Thump!
The magic stone corresponding to the power unit of the golem made of steel lost its light and stopped moving.
It wasn't destroyed or shattered.
The golem just stopped moving while standing.
-Click!
The Duke snapped his fingers.
He sent several signals to the golem, but there was no response.
"I'll check."
Adelia approached the golem that had stopped moving and started checking it.
"It's exactly the same."
"Yes, am I really the culprit...?"
The golem, which had a dispel countermeasure, stopped just by touching it once.
It was a sight that even magicians couldn't understand.
"Do you have to touch it to stop it?"
But the Duke asked a completely different question.
"Yes? Oh, no... I don't think it's necessary."
The Duke listened to Scarlet's story with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, the Duke's eldest son, who had been silent, cautiously intervened.
"But... if this child uses her power incorrectly... couldn't the Titan be neutralized?"
The atmosphere could only freeze at those words.
This is the Duke's serious place.
Not only the parts of the Titan but also the Duke's golems are stored here.
If Scarlet uses her power even once incorrectly, the Duke's power will be neutralized at once.
Just like this golem that has been neutralized, the Titan can also be neutralized.
An overwhelming dispel ability that indiscriminately erases all magical powers that come into contact with it.
Scarlet's ability must be seen as such a bizarre type of ability.
Scarlet began to tremble with a bewildered expression as if she had heard even an unimaginable story.
Of course, it is only possible if Scarlet decides to do so.
The Duke's magicians, as well as Adelia, began to feel uneasy about what kind of existence they had brought into the Duke's stronghold.
"I'll leave quickly!"
Adelia watched Scarlet turn around and run away from the Duke's stronghold in a daze. "Come to think of it, it was really dangerous... I'm sorry... Even though Scarlet wouldn't do such a thing and the Titan isn't nearby, bringing Scarlet here was a risky move. Scarlet's power is not a monster's power, but rather a more dangerous power to allies. I never thought Scarlet's power would reach that level... I saw a golem being neutralized right in front of me, no matter how powerful the magic was. If Scarlet wants to, she can erase magic. Adelia realized how powerful and dangerous that power was after seeing it with her own eyes. * * * Panting, Scarlet hurriedly ran back to the Royal Class stronghold. Scarlet doesn't rely on her ability that much. There were hardly any enemies that her ability could help in combat. However, there were times when she used her power during battles to save allies whose minds were being controlled by monsters. But a Duke's golem was paralyzed by her power. Scarlet was surprised and confused by what had happened. The golem had been rampaging around the battlefield, and there had never been a time when Scarlet's power had paralyzed it. Scarlet's ability doesn't need to be activated during combat, so it was just bad luck for the golem and Scarlet. It wasn't that she had run there in a hurry, but Scarlet was so surprised that her whole body was covered in cold sweat. Let's call it an accident. 'Um... but if this child uses her power incorrectly... couldn't the Titan be neutralized?' But when Scarlet recalled the last words she heard, her mind went blank. The Titan is a force that must not be lost in the Allied Forces. If she had used her power incorrectly, the Titan could have become a giant tin can, just as the Duke's golem had. Scarlet was relieved that such a thing had never happened before, as the Titan had only been deployed twice on the battlefield and was moving in enemy territory, not on the ally's side. However, the fact that such a thing was possible was a huge shock to Scarlet. If the Titan were neutralized by her mistake, even repaying that debt with her life would not be enough. Only then did Scarlet realize that she had a very dangerous ability to allies, even more dangerous than to enemies. Just by neutralizing one golem, she had already caused a great inconvenience. There was no possibility of that happening, but just the possibility of having a negative impact on the Titan made Scarlet decide that she couldn't stay there." The best choice for Scarlet, who realizes the danger of her power, is to leave the battlefield as soon as possible before causing an irreversible accident. At this point, there should be no dangerous power to allies on the battlefield. It is not a cowardly decision to survive. Scarlet decides that she can't stay there because of the possibility of having a negative impact on the Titan. When Scarlet tries to find the headquarters of the Royal Class garrison, Anna approaches her and asks if she needs a fatigue recovery potion. Scarlet declines and explains that she can't stay there because of her power. Anna warns Scarlet not to tell anyone, especially Christina, about her power. Scarlet felt an inexplicable pressure. Anna warned her not to tell anyone, especially Christina, about her power. Christina approached them and asked what they were talking about. Anna offered a fatigue recovery potion, but Scarlet declined and explained her situation. Christina touched Scarlet's forehead and offered medicine, but Scarlet didn't feel any concern from her. Anna seemed to be trembling for some reason. Christina offered medicine to both Anna and Scarlet and told them to go back to their tent quickly without telling anyone. Scarlet didn't understand why Anna was acting this way and Anna didn't explain.
