Chapter 35 – To the Dungeon to Obtain an Artifact – 1
Deep in the mountains, where no one seems to come.
In front of me was a huge pile of stones, as if a landslide had occurred.
The purpose of our coming here is to find artifacts left behind by Sylvia’s ancestors.
However, the sight before my eyes did not seem to have much to do with such a rare treasure.
“Is this right? “Sylvia.”
“Yes. Even though it looks like this on the outside, our ancestors made it like this on purpose.”
The subordinates must have worked hard to make this.
“Then, can we just clear away this pile of stones and go in?”
“You don’t have to do that. There is also magic in the first place.”
I think I thought about it last time, but the gentleman named Seonjo is thorough.
Wasn’t that human a dragon?
“Please wait a moment.”
Silvia approaches the pile of stones and mutters her spell.
Then, letters that appeared to be magic circles appeared on the surface of the stone in front of her.
How will the road be opened?
I look at her with little anticipation.
Magic may be an everyday thing for people in another world, but as someone who has yet to forget modern society, my heart beats every time I see it.
Kugugung—!
The huge stone majestically dug into the ground, raising dust.
Normally, another stone should have fallen in the empty space created by it.
However, the shape of the passage was being built along with a stylish magic circle.
Trap – plod –
What welcomed me as I entered was the imaginary dungeon itself.
Damp smell and atmosphere.
Floor, walls, and ceiling made of dark, almost black stone.
“It must have been quite a struggle to make this.”
Boom!
The entrance you came in closes with a harsh sound.
At the same time, the torches hanging on the wall slowly turned on one by one.
This is a dungeon.
My sense of adventure is boiling.
“It might be dangerous, so I’ll take the lead.”
Grumbling-
I pull out the sword at my waist, so I can respond immediately.
What kind of monsters are there here?
Oak? Troll?
“!$%#$&”
A sound like an alien language coming from afar.
It was not a language used by humans or ordinary monsters.
What is certain is that they will not forgive intruders who enter the dungeon.
“@$%@@$@!”
The sound is getting closer.
First, let’s take a look at what kind of guy he is.
“!#$!@@”
Hard skin… No, not a stone.
The owner of the sound was a golem made of stone.
It is about 2 m in size and has a human shape, but is made of hard stone.
“@%@!!”
The blue gem on the guy’s head instantly turns red.
It’s red.
Why do I have a bad feeling?
“Avoid!!”
The jewel’s light became stronger, and a red laser was fired.
Jiyeeing—!
Ah… It’s really too much.
A golem that shoots lasers.
There was no way to avoid it because Sylvia was behind it.
“Fuck.”
He pushes the limits of his physical capabilities to deflect the laser beam.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was different from the lasers I knew, my heart would have been pierced.
It must be some kind of magic.
The sword that deflected the laser becomes red-hot and heat is transmitted to the palm.
It’s so crazy hot that you would miss it if you didn’t protect your palm with mana.
This is a type of attack that should not be countered.
If you get hit just one more time, the sword might melt to a pulp.
“It’s hiding in the back!”
He shouts urgently and jumps at the golem.
They are no match for you at long distances.
You have to finish him off before his gem turns red again and starts shooting lasers.
“$@$!@$”
Even though the distance had gotten closer to right in front of him, he just stared at me without any reaction.
Insert the sword towards the blue gem.
Pajik!
Fortunately, contrary to its stone appearance, the gem was not that hard.
A gem that gradually loses its shine.
Just when I was about to draw my sword with peace of mind
“%%&##@#!!”
A thick stone fist flew out.
“Damn.”
I give up trying to retrieve the sword and quickly lower my head.
Hwii-ik- Boom-!
The strong wind above my head sends a chill down my spine.
The wall that was hit by the golem’s fist was dented, showing that its power was unusual.
A power that would crush an ordinary person.
Even those who have trained will have at least their bones fragmented.
“#@!$!”
A golem that attacks randomly when the means of long-distance attack disappears.
The sight of people shaking their fists and shaking their fists looked funny, but the sound and wind coming out were anything like that.
“In my heart, I would like to at least give that fighting technique a name.”
Fortunately, unlike lasers, it is not difficult to avoid.
The golem’s random attack.
The speed is such that even an ordinary person can avoid it if he concentrates.
But if you get hit, you just die.
Take advantage of the opportunity to attack and retrieve the sword.
Fortunately, nothing was broken.
“You have to aim for your core in the middle of your torso!”
Sylvia’s voice coming from behind.
Core?
When I looked closely at the golem’s body, I saw a faint light coming out.
Perhaps this stone block is the driving force behind the movement.
The jewel I stabbed was probably a simple means of attack.
“#@$!”
The problem is that the part where the core is presumed to be is surrounded by rocks.
A golem is basically a monster made of solid stone.
Just like shooting the laser just before, there are differences depending on the creator, but the common point is that warriors are difficult to deal with.
Kang—!
As evidence, quite a few attacks were bounced off by thick stones.
“If I keep doing this, the sword will break first.”
Avoid the golem’s attacks and look at him closely.
No matter how elaborately it is made, there are inevitably gaps as it is made of multiple stones.
“I found it.”
The side part of the golem.
There was a very small gap where the stones connected.
When I inserted the sword into the gap in the stone, it penetrated easily and a cheerful sound was heard.
Parkin—!
The golem collapses with the feeling of something breaking.
The golem that had lost its magic was nothing more than an ordinary stone.
“Whoa…”
I think I can break through at this level.
Only the laser is scary, other attacks are easy.
“Are you feeling okay?”
Sylvia had already approached me and was closely observing my physical condition as if she was worried.
“It’s easy like this.”
It was dangerous at first because of the unexpected attack, but the treasure is waiting, so you have to be prepared for this level of risk.
“If there are any injuries, please tell me. “I am confident in recovery magic.”
Did the princess have such a talent?
I didn’t know because I only cared about sexy things.
I think I vaguely heard it before, but I guess I didn’t think it was that important and just passed it on.
“If you get hurt, I’ll ask you a favor.”
After that, I went through the dungeon, but the only thing I encountered was a golem.
However, once I learned the strategy, I was able to easily destroy the golem.
“It seems like there are only golems here.”
“Because it is an artificially created dungeon, I think all the monsters released by our ancestors are dead.”
As she said, traces like bones of living things were often seen on the floor.
But even though she looked around for a while, there was no sign of life.
She succeeded in creating a great artificial dungeon, but failed to create a dungeon ecosystem, and only the golem remains.
Those alive probably starved to death or died of old age over the decades or hundreds of years.
“Work has become easier.”
The golem’s unique noise made it easy to locate, so only piles of stones grew on the dungeon floor.
Silvia’s ancestors probably didn’t expect there to be only golems left like this.
After destroying golems for several hours, we were able to discover a huge door.
A huge stone gate carved with majestic patterns.
Just by looking at it, I could guess that there was an artifact inside the door.
“No matter how you look at it, this is probably the right place.”
“I think so too.”
“Then let me ask you a favor.”
I look at Sylvia, expecting an order.
But she had an embarrassed expression.
“Well… The records are lost from here on…”
No way. So you have to open this huge stone door with a crack?
“Ugh… I can’t help it.”
I don’t really feel like it, but it’s not her fault, so I can’t say anything.
It is common for old data to be lost.
Honestly, I wouldn’t have kept records with such care that I never knew I would use.
Moreover, since it was a dungeon where the royal treasure was hidden, few people would have known about it.
“It might be dangerous, so stay hidden.”
Tread- trudge-
Stand in the center of the stone door and place your hand.
Cold and hard texture.
Usually when you open something like this, there’s something like a boss monster waiting inside.
Seeing the goosebumps and goosebumps on my skin, I’m sure there’s something waiting inside.
Because ominous premonitions tend to come true.
“Whoa…”
Sighing, I tighten my legs, grab a part of the pattern, and push it.
The thrilling sense of adventure had long since disappeared due to an ominous premonition.
The good news is that it opens with force.
If it had been blocked by magic, I would have had to come all the way back.
“Please don’t have anything”
Squeak-
The moment the door is half open.
The inside came into view.
An altar in a huge space.
And… A huge creature that looks like a wolf.
“Ah…”
There was one living thing that survived.
It’s so huge that it makes your mouth drop.
It’s much bigger than the ogre I’ve seen before.
If an ogre is about the size of a large tree, this guy seems to be twice that size.
Fur that is as dark as pitch black and looks rough.
Eyes that are so sharp and ominous that they could easily be considered the eyes of the devil, to say the least.
The sharp teeth look like they could chew through a dragon.
If you actually look at the size, it seems quite possible.
I can’t even beat the ogre yet, so I’m telling you to fight this?
“Karl Hill -“
The sound of the door opening seemed to bother him, so he was looking at this place.
The guy who was looking at me with eyes that sent a chill down my spine tilted his head back and…
“Chew…”
It spewed out flames large enough to burn down a decent house.
“I opened it wrong!!”
I closed the door with all my might.
