"Yes, that's right... I'm sure! He was talking to me!"
Hilde stood up and shouted.
"What? Golem? Or a monster?"
"Both!"
Hilde's dizziness appears to have disappeared because she found out the cause. I asked her if she was okay.
Rather refreshing.
Anyway, that monster and Golem talked to Hilde? At the beginning, Hilde said she felt the unscrupulous energy of the Devil. That's their energy.... If you've been talking, it seems obvious that this dungeon has something to do with the devil.
Wait a minute.
But wasn't this an ancient dungeon? Is Golem designed to react to demons? Is that why you're trying to talk, not a brute force attack?
Why is that?
Isn't this a human-made dungeon?
Unknown transparency.
"If you spoke."
At that time, Risha said,
"There must be a reason."
"Ah."
"I have to check."
There must have been some obvious reason for talking. There's no way Golems or monsters can stand idly by for any reason.
I don't know if this dungeon has any favor with the devil, but I have no choice but to investigate further.
"Then let's take a little more rest and get going."
"Yes."
Once I had filled my stomach with the jerky, dried fruit and nuts I laid down their cloaks. I don't really need to sleep well. You can lay down and take a 30-minute break and leave.
* *
- Kueung!
Golem remained silent. We cut through the golems that had stopped so simply and went a little deeper inside. In fact, even if it moved, it's a simple encounter.
I can't investigate right now.
There will be other expeditions nearby as well as the Empire Knights. After moderately shattering and entering, I completely ignored a few of them, clearing our tracks.
It doesn't matter if those golem bastards show up behind us anyway.
You can crush everything even if you're surrounded.
And the road is memorized.
Mapping is also being simplified.
How deeply did he come in? He said he had to take a test.
"Then it's Hilde. I'm begging you. Except if you think it's dangerous."
"Yes, don't worry."
- Geeing.
A golem stopped in place instead of walking towards us.
- Dr. Baek.
Hilde slowly walks towards you.
- Sarglup.
Hilde soon unravels her transformation.
At the same time, demonic horns, wings, and tails rise. It is to take the shape of a circus to communicate a little more desirably.
"But it's weird."
"What's wrong?"
Risha raises her head.
"Clearly all of Hilde's energy is being blocked... why the golems can't figure it out..."
"Ah."
Hilde's neck was filled with a necklace that Risha made herself.
That is the ultimate item that masks all the demonic energy of Hilde. Even if you take Hilde in front of the Saint, you will not notice that she is a demon.
"Oh, that. I just felt it."
Hilde looks this way.
"I've been trying to detect demonic energy, haven't I? It's probably the principle of being aware of the power to detect it, and passing on the meaning to me through it. It's still the case."
- Interest.
Suddenly, the golem begins to approach.
Then I raise my arms.
"If I stop detecting like this, I don't think I'm a demon."
- Gigg.
And it hardens as it is.
"And if we do the detection again, we recognize it and stop it. I've been detecting it ever since I came in."
"Hmm, is that so? Anyway, when I get back, I'm gonna have to see your hands again. I didn't think about it."
One thing became clear.
Golem was clearly reacting to the devil. It's like a seedling arc... Anyway, Hilde stands still in front of Golem and opens her mouth.
"By the way, Cat. What should I ask first?"
"Oh, yeah."
I need to ask you something.
What do you say?
Winia said, as she was pondering for a moment.
"First, ask me where I'm going down to the 5th floor."
"Yes, yes. That would be nice, too."
Hilde looks at Golem again and stands still for a while.
I think I'm trying to communicate something from now on.
"...."
A moment passed in silence.
Hilde looks back at us.
At the same time.
- Geeing.
Golem turns around and slowly starts to walk toward the other side of the darkness.
"What, really?"
"Are you really telling me the way?"
Karin and Liz's sister were surprised and asked.
"Yes, perhaps. Just follow me. Maybe you can easily reach the secrets of this dungeon."
"Let's go!"
I immediately followed Golem.
"Huh, what the hell? A dungeon that welcomes demons."
"Is it... a dungeon built by the devil?"
Ari answered Claudie's question.
"Draw?"
No matter how ancient, could the devil have made this in a place where humans live? And did the Church just leave it? No, maybe this facility was summoned underground all of a sudden.
A curious illusion.
But one thing was certain, it was quite vague to report to the Saintess. I need to moderately adapt this.
"Risha. Maybe this dungeon... was summoned by an outsider?"
"Oh, there's a good chance. External dimension, external dimension. There is a possibility."
Saint Cardia once explained the external dimension.
Maybe it's something like that.
- Kuung. Kuung.
Golem moved constantly. It was slow and frustrating, but the journey was not a problem. Something hasn't even been attacked.
"Aw, sisters. There."
After a short walk, a large door appeared over there.
"It got there easier than I thought. I feel like I'm just traveling."
Liz said with a smile.
I don't really fight, so I feel closer to the attraction than the dungeon. In fact, the interior of the dungeon was amazing.
"Something like that. Anyway, Cat, I think we should go down there. I can't communicate properly with Golem. It looks like you can only answer with action."
- Geeing.
Golem just stopped by the door.
"That's right. Let's go down."
"Yes, yes."
I went straight down.
* * *
There was no difference between the fourth floor and the fifth floor. But we found something interesting here.
- A slightly different form of golem.
There was only one golem the size of a man. I don't think it's for combat, but if that big golem was a bedbug, this golem feels like an ant.
But that's not interesting enough.
It was the body that caught our attention, not the other way around.
- Dead body.
I stumbled across a small golem moving a dead human corpse. Once I defeated the Golem, I checked the condition of the body.
- Geeing.
A golem that stops in front of Hilde.
I was overwhelmed, but I couldn't resist thanks to Hilde.
"... from the other floor?"
Winia looked at the body and said,
The body did not appear to be so old after he died. The blood is dropping. I must have died today. Were you killed when you fell from the herd during the expedition?
"I think so... what is it?"
Why was Golem moving the body?
Moving means there's something to use.
Whether controlled by someone or created for this purpose. And whether he's a pilot or the creator of this facility. It's because Golem wants to act like this.
Golems were extremely hostile to those who were not demons, Hilde.
I think I'll kill him and then move him somewhere when the body is made like this.
What does that mean?
"Why were you moving this?"
Karin questioned.
"I have where I need to be."
When I answered, Risha was told.
"That's it. They seem to have a purpose. It is also a characteristic that it is favorable to the devil, and it is also revealed that he is moving the human body somewhere."
What the hell does that mean?
"You smell evil? Cat, don't you think?"
"Uh, this is something evil."
There were some cases of evil being sealed in the dungeons. Maybe there really is something like that in this basement?
It is also a demonic being.
So you're not hostile to demons, you're gathering human corpses? It makes sense. But Hilde said that the demons weren't very close to each other.. They were sealed for a long time and then the people came, so did you react?
"Nigga. Let's get the body back up there and catch up. Then we'll get something."
"That's a good idea. Do that."
Winia and Liz sister said.
"Well... I think that's the best way to do it right now, Cat. Just follow me."
Hilde was of the same opinion.
"I see. Let's do that."
That would be best for now.
I immediately returned the body to Golem and ordered Hilde to move again. The small golem performed the task again with a mechanical signature indifference.
- Geeing.
No wonder, but on the 5th floor, besides these golems,
"Ururu...."
There were many monsters of this type.
Monsters that look similar to the ones I saw on the third floor.
However, the shape was slightly different. It has diversity. Of course they didn't attack us.
It feels like diving into the deep sea while in a safe glass barrel. We followed the Golem with no fuss.
The ground floor was long, complex, and serpentine. Of course, there is nothing lost. I'm building a map. But Golem or monsters are the right number.
It would have taken us a lot of time if it had been pierced with a can. Destroying the hostiles would have been a long and complicated time.
That's the way it is.
6th floor.
Seventh floor.
Eighth floor.
We went all the way down to the basement.
"What's so deep? Didn't you come down to the eighth floor already?"
Karin wondered.
"Well... honestly, it's a little bit like this. Karin, have you ever been to a dungeon like this?"
"There was, but it wasn't this big dungeon."
Golem was sincere.
Endlessly moves with the corpse.
But at least I knew for sure that this son of a bitch was on the shortest route down to the next floor.
"Ahhh... Ahhh... Cat."
"Hilde? Are you okay?"
"Oh, yeah... it's okay... it's not a body problem. But, Cat."
Hilde clings to me and says,
"I'm sensing something. From the time I came down to the 8th floor... I think I can tell because I'm a demon... I feel like this mess... I'm pretty sure I just have to get to the end of the line to solve my question."
"...."
I wrapped my arms around her waist.
Something down there is making Hilde feel bad.
What the hell is that?
I don't know what it is, but if there's one of those bastards, I have to kill him.
"What's underneath...?"
"Well."
Ari asked as if he was anxious.
But I don't know.
But can I go down?
While I was thinking about it, I walked.
Come on.
- Ooooooooooooooo.
A large door appeared.
It wasn't the only one. On the other side of the door, I heard something familiar. What was that sound?
And this feeling...
"Cat. Look at the floor."
"Oops."
There were many blood stains on the floor.
It looks like it's been dried recently.
The golem who guided us stood quietly at the door with the corpse in his arms.
It's like waiting for something.
"Maybe those golems came into the dungeon and brought all the dead human bodies over here? Is that why you left blood on the floor?"
"I think so."
I feel Claudie is right.
- Ooooooooooooooo.
Beyond the door, the sound continued to be heard.
- Jaw.
And with the sound of it stopping.
- Gee, gee.
The door is open.
"The door is open?"
When the door opened, there was a little room inside.
- Familiar sound.
"Ah."
Oh, yeah.
This was an elevator.
