Episode 21: The Golem That Stops Escape
Golem production facilities that start to run little by little.
I could afford to build a magic tool called a mixer with one hassle.
"Is this the tenth golem?"
Ten golems were aligned, including the one that captured the Gorotskis in Slam Street.
All the golems are made of iron.
Typically, iron dolls (iron golems) were valuable if they were covered in dirt and rocks.
"But what are you going to do with so many golems?
It may seem useless so far.
"Originally the Golem is a demon that appears in the mining field. Minerals are a favorite for the Golem, so I can't allow adventurers to visit mining... that's the setting."
There are two kinds of golems whose shape is changed by the dwelling of demonic stones in objects, soil, rocks, and ore created by man by magic.
Naturally occurring golems are rich in magic and are often found in mines with many materials.
It is therefore believed that the same rules apply to the Labyrinth.
In fact that is not the case and can be made to walk in any place.
"In the meantime, let's decide to place five of the ten completed bodies one each on the 21st to 25th basements. We can expect it as a force of war, but there's got to be a guy out there who's going to be caught by the Golem, more of a chunk of metal than that."
Even if you can't defeat it, just scrape your body to get iron.
Upper tier but should have enough strength to deal with Iron Golem.
"So, what do you do with the other five?
"If it's extra, shouldn't we just place two at a time?
"I need a gatekeeper."
Basement 61st floor.
The hierarchy where the Lengen clan is captured, who have sought to use the Labyrinth Lord.
It had become a swamp field and was a place where agriculture was possible, except for a lot of soil containing water and gas. It's not hard to get used to for the Rangen clan who usually lived in the back of the mountain.
Already several years after being quarantined.
At first there was nothing, replacing the leaves that grew on the trees with houses. But now houses are built made of trees of things that are simple. They hunt demons, they make clothes out of fur, and they make food out of the hands of men.
Civilization had already been shaped.
But this kind of civilization is only insignificant compared to life out there.
"Hey, are you really going to go?
A woman holding a baby gives in and asks a man preparing her luggage.
The red-haired man, voiced from behind by a woman with pearly hair, prepares without turning around.
"I was born a child, too. You can't always be in a place like this."
"Yes, maybe..."
The baby the woman was holding was a child made between them.
Times can gradually come to pass if dozens of human beings, including young people, are trapped and their lives are made.
I was confused at first. Is it permissible to make money on children even though we don't know what tomorrow will be like? Even if I am forgiven, do I have enough ability to make my child happy...
But the moment he saw the child he was born, the man made up his mind.
"Let's get out of here."
Living in the labyrinth is too dangerous.
Escape was urgent in order to satisfy the child.
"But no one's ever been able to come home."
There were several people in the Rangen clan who challenged them to the labyrinth.
Among those brought from hiding were those who challenged the labyrinth.
If only we could touch metastatic crystals.
I was so confident until odd they were away from where they were making it a settlement...... about 5 kilometers away they died eaten by demons.
A young man has emerged who continues to challenge recklessly ever since, and no one has ever returned, nor has finding a body materialized. The bodies of those who were eaten by demons, but died in the labyrinth, are a mechanism to be absorbed into the labyrinth. You can't possibly find it. It will be when someone dies in the settlement that they realize about it.
"That's why you're going to stay in a place like this! There is no future for living here. I don't want to die with a child in this place."
Everyone was desperate to live and thought things through themselves.
If that had been done sooner, I could have thought of a response, but it's all too late.
The only way for them to have a future is to escape on their own.
"Escape somehow"
"You can't get out with that gear!
What the man has in his hand is a sword created by scraping stones, arrows and bows made of stones by a claw.
I don't know how useful this kind of equipment can be for a labyrinth attack...... no, there's no reason to normally think about it and help.
"... Still I go. This is me, but it's about my daughter and you that matters more than anything. So, even if we risk our lives, we get out."
"You're serious."
"Oh."
A woman who realizes that a man is serious gives up persuasion.
Two people walk outside the settlement with their children.
"What?"
Then you will see things you have never seen before.
A metal golem that doesn't deserve a natural swamp field. There are five such objects lined up in a direction that seems to have metastatic crystals.
We need to get past the side of the golem in order to escape.
A plain with nothing.
It's impossible for the Golem to find it and get through it.
"I'm coming."
Still, men's determination remains the same.
A man approaching the Golem while a woman watches. But moving forward doesn't make the golem move.
"Okay - -"
Twenty meters to the golem.
The golem, which remained standing by without moving, moved out.
"... Huh!?
Avoid the arm of the golem, where a man flipped himself out. He had the option of defending himself if his weapon was firm, but if he imitated that he would take the attack of the Golem with such a brittle weapon as he had in his hand, he would be pockingly broken.
When you scratch and land a golem attack in a crafty, forged move, the other arm also jumps and dodges.
"There's only one coming at me."
Only the nearest golem was attacking a man.
The other four golems aren't even moving.
"That's... convenient!
He builds magic on his legs, and when he explodes, he rushes out all at once.
It's a possible escape from the Golem because he was a man with a good ability to hide and escape. If this was against a normal golem, they would have escaped.
"but ah......!
A man falls to the ground in the pain of running on his back.
Golem sticking his arm out if you look back. There was smoke coming out of my hands and I was experiencing heat.
And make sure you have iron bullets rolling around you.
The bullet is designed to remove penetration and inflict damage from impact on the target, rendering it immobile.
The man fell because he got such a thing on his back.
It's not fatal, but it's not in such a state that you can move out immediately.
Me, too. That's it.
I can see the golem approaching in footsteps.
A man who decides to be ready. But when the golem grabs the man's body up, he throws it at those in the settlement.
He was a man who hurt all over his body with shock, but he wasn't dead.
"Oh, hey......!
Those who watched men seeking to escape the settlement come out to rescue them.
But the golem back in position never moves.
"No way... is the purpose of not letting us out...?
A magnificent man who was in the settlement squeaks.
Exactly, the order given to the Golem is' to stop the escape of the Rangen clan '. If you stay away from the Golem, you will not be attacked, and if you are serious, you will not be injured.
Now the wounded man is transported to the settlement and told to rest. So far none of the Lengens, who lived on their own, have died except those who were eaten in search of escape thanks to the fact that they had someone who was skilled in medicine.
"Do you want to keep us so locked up"
I stare at the golem resentfully with my child in my arms.
You can think of an escape when you're about to forget everything, but the guarantee of visiting them while they're alive is low.
