Chapter 57 – You Can’t Stop Raiding Dungeons (8)
The atmosphere is uncomfortable. It was so uncomfortable. Karin was trying not to make eye contact with hers, and Erina was fidgeting next to A-A. A.A. Didn’t say anything and just walked in silence. She’d rather kill me if her eyes turned around and she tried to stab me, but she was doing that like someone who had done something very bad, which made me feel bad.
It seems like I did something bad.
So we climbed the stairs again and arrived at the door. The golem was still blocking the exit. Whether it was sword fighting or fighting, it was something we had to go out and do, so we now had to figure out a way to open this door and get out.
“Let’s break it down.”
I said. A.A. Did not respond properly to that, only nodding her head. I called A.A.’S name once again with a firm movement as if I had become a traffic guide doll.
“Warrior?”
“Ah! Yes. Yes. What did you say?”
“Let’s break this down.”
I pointed to the door the golem was blocking. What part of the golem am I touching? Hip? Etc? I fiddled with the smooth surface of the golem. Karin and A.A. Drew their swords. I also took out my mace. Karin asked as I took out my mace.
“Aren’t you using the holy sword?”
“Because I’m not used to the sword.”
“But why don’t you try hitting it with the holy sword? It might have a special effect with the holy sword.”
I just checked the status window of the Holy Sword, so I was pretty sure it didn’t have that function, but it’s really difficult to explain this in words. So I decided to just do what Karin said. The knife itself worked well, so I thought it would be worth trying to cut a stone.
I brought the knife to the hard golem’s surface. Maybe it’s because it’s a famous sword? When the blade and the golem met each other, the golem was cut like tofu. When I touched it, it had a hardness reminiscent of iron. Is this because the sword is a famous sword? I saw the blade lodged in the stone and pushed it deeper and deeper.
“Quaaaaa!”
At the same time, an enormous scream rang out. Everyone in the party, including me, covered their ears and sat down on the floor. It was because the cave was temporarily shaken. And a status window popped up in front of my eyes.
– Due to the effect of the trait Just Reward, the Mega Golem is instantly killed.
I couldn’t understand that. What’s killing you? Being a fucking person. Are golems human?
But I didn’t have time to argue like that. It was because the golem was really breaking down. The golem, which was made of hard iron, was melting like slime. The seventh floor reappeared before our eyes. The golem melted and spread widely on the floor. And the floor was endlessly absorbing the ooze spilled by the golem.
“This…”
Karin covered her mouth and slowly moved towards the golem’s remains. The enormously swollen body of the golem was gradually shrinking. The golem, whose limbs had become obscurely enlarged, gradually took on a human form. Person. Yes this was a man I called the status window.
* You cannot check the status window of the dead.
Fuck. It did. The golem, which had been shrinking, finally became a cold corpse in the shape of a man. A complicated magic circle was drawn on his back. Karin swept the magic circle once. At the bottom of the magic circle, there was a deep knife mark that I thought I had just made.
“It’s a magic circle. Probably, someone turned it into a golem through magic.”
“Transform into a golem?”
“Yes. If you assume that this is the ancients, that would be correct. In ancient times, it is said that there was magic that forcibly transformed the bodies of sinners into golems while maintaining their egos.”
It was a terrible magic. According to the words, this bastard had been sealed in the 7th floor of the basement in a sane state until now. While waiting for the hero who is looking for the holy sword that may come anytime. Without a promise, without dying or falling asleep, it continues.
I have a question here again. Was it the holy sword that sealed it this far in the first place? If it’s a holy sword, shouldn’t it be stored in a place like the basement of the royal palace? Why did you keep it in a dungeon like this? Even with these unbelievable sinners. Karin drew her sword from her waistband to her.
“Karin? Why the knife?”
“Shouldn’t we take the magic circle. First of all, we can’t carry the corpse up, so I think it’s better to take the magic circle and study it.”
“…Since there are soldiers up there, how about handing it over to them?”
“That sounds good too.”
Karin’s expression looked strangely regretful. This year she seems to have tasted it after continuously skinning criminals. If it weren’t for that, there was no way she would wear a skin-skinning dagger on her waist. She would have become an Eve-class serial killer if the article hadn’t been for the fact that she prepared a potato knife and a dagger.
After deciding to leave the body here, we looked upstairs again. There were 6 more golems on top. I suddenly had a scary thought here. Judging by the fact that everyone in the party here was measuring the number of floors, they all seemed to be thinking the same thing.
“Perhaps, those…The people in this room…”
Aye pointed to the bottom floor with her trembling hand. 4 rooms on the bottom floor. Each room has two beds and can sleep up to 8 people. There are a total of 7 golems in this dungeon. Then 7 people. Roughly the number of beds and the number of people. A space with no toilets or food storage. A clean space with no surveillance troops.
A man with a magic circle on his back his. Transform into a golem.
They didn’t all die or disappear. We were facing the people who had stayed in this underground from the beginning. Erina sat on her floor, her body trembling. It was a very creepy and embarrassing story. AI looked at me.
Yes, I had a holy sword in my hand. No, I honestly didn’t know if this was a holy sword or not. Maybe this sword was brought here to torture the sinners with hope. Then what we did was simple. To stab all the golems and free them.
I said, holding out the blade.
“I free them one by one.”
Since we brought the Holy Sword, they no longer had to do security work. Curiosity could kill people, and it was unlikely that the golems could be used for anything else, so we had to get rid of them anyway.
Because I can’t accompany A.A. In each follow-up investigation team.
As I continued to go up the 6th, 5th, and 4th floors, I stabbed the golems once in a while. Every time that happened, the golems screamed and their bodies shrank. Do you feel great pain when you die? No one thanked me for freeing me. I didn’t even want to hear from you in the first place.
I thought of this while poking at each golem. If the original is human, even if it transforms, the effect of this sword will work. It’s a surprisingly useful sword. Called. It meant that if the effect worked on golems that transformed into humans, the sword could also be eaten by people who were originally human, such as werewolves and zombies.
I thought the first effect was just a betrayal effect, but it was surprisingly versatile.
When I poked the butt of the golem on the first floor, even the last golem let out a grotesque scream and transformed into a human. In this way, this dungeon has been transformed into a mystery-themed space like an escape room cafe where seven skinny men have collapsed on every floor.
All the men had a magic circle drawn on their backs, and all of them had their heads shaved and their hands had ugly marks, as if they had been handcuffed. After confirming that the last man was dead, I prayed in the manner of the Archangelic Church. Said Erina.
“Do you know how to mourn the dead too?”
“Because it’s the chief priest.”
A.A seemed to be in trouble when he saw me and Erina like that. Actually, at this point, I wondered what Erina’s spell meant. No matter how crazy Erina is, she won’t say shit like ‘forbidden making babies’ in front of A.A.
We came out with different thoughts like that.
Karin told the soldiers guarding the dungeon about the corpses downstairs, and the soldiers quickly took over the corpses. I didn’t know it well when I was in the dungeon, but when I came out like this, the corpses definitely had a different impression from the people in the kingdom.
Karin asked after seeing the corpses leave for the palace.
“First of all, why don’t we all go to the palace? If we go together, there will be a big reward with a report.”
As the owner of the holy sword, I had to go unconditionally, but Erina and A.A. Had no reason to go. Their mission was to explore the dungeon. They were also people who had no reason to cling to the royal palace’s orders or reports in the first place.
So Karin seduced them with a ‘big reward’. Erina shook her head and said.
“Ah, no. I’m going to my kingdom now and learn the secret art of making babies…”
“Ah, yes.”
Karin cut off her words neatly. I also shook my head. Erina was the type to hold on to her lies until someone slapped her on the side. Karin already seemed to see Erina as her perfect slut. After that incident in the dungeon, she had been staring at Erina with a very cold gaze.
Karin looked at A.A. With sympathetic eyes. She said.
“What about the warrior?”
“Ah, I…”
“Of course, A.A goes to Achildern with me…”
Ay Ay grabbed her Erina’s shoulder. Erina opened her eyes wide and looked at A.A. Both Karin and I unconsciously reached for her weapon. It was because she knew A-A would hit Erina, of course.
However, A.A. Did not do that.
“Erina. I’ll forgive you.”
“What, what?”
“Because I’m a woman, you’re not satisfied, are you?”
“That, that’s…”
Erina rolled her eyes, searching for her words her. But she couldn’t say anything. Aye smiled and said.
“But do you love me, Erina?”
“It’s all natural. I always only have you…!”
A.A hugged Erina tightly. And she said
“I’ll come back as a man. Definitely.”
Then he kissed Erina on the cheek and disappeared into the forest. Karin looked at Erina with her eyes narrowed even more. Erina, with her dumbfounded face, looked at her forest where A-A disappeared and caressed her own cheek.
She’ll have to fuck Erina one more time before she goes back.
