* Lulusha *
I didn't hear about having such an automaton —— at least I loaded any labyrinth-related records that could be viewed in the position of "Labyrinth Strategy Division," but it wasn't written there.
"Fear Seyo" -- yes, everyone on this floor has knelt just because Automaton utters the word.
(hey, what is this...)
Lulusha was stunned.
I thought it was just a slightly different (...) automaton with four arms growing, but with one word everyone fell down and couldn't move.
Reason is bewildered by the emotions that gush. I can't stop shivering freezing from the core of my body.
It makes a crisp noise and the wheels spin, coming in front of the labyrinth attack members.
And he put his spear-like pointy arm over the head of the fallen member.
"Ya, stop..."
Three treasure balls flashed intricately, even sending signals. The protruding arm pierced the member's belly.
"Higgoo!? Oh, oh... oh"
penetrated. When the spear is pulled out, the blood is flooded. Members holding down their bellies and rolling in pain were looking up at the automaton with tear-wet eyes. You must want to scream out. You should want to twitch. But I see it, and I look up shaking. That this is a brave man of his own?
One automaton after another pierces his people. It can be a belly, an arm, or a leg, but it's not aimed at your face or the center of your body —— as if you're not going to kill it.
"Oh, oh..."
Lulusha noticed.
(I'm trying to give you 'fear' emotions... If you die (...) you won't get emotions (...))
Don't kill him, just hurt him. By doing so, they are planting fear and thus trying to attract "fear" of this dungeon.
I eventually die of an injury if I leave it untreated, though.
"Hih."
Hall with more than 100 people, half of them have already been stabbed, bled and groaned. And now Automaton has come to Lulusha's sight.
The treasure balls embedded in the body of the automaton blink. Lulusha doesn't know what that means.
And Automaton stuck his spear out to Lulusha --.
"" Flame Storm ""
Lulusha heard such a voice —— from our own rear path.
A tornado of fireworks struck the automaton directly from the side.
It was sudden, but Automaton shifts his torso and avoids magic.
It's magic. It's magic you'll hardly ever see in this country. But Lulusha also understands that this is advanced magic, which is not preliminary.
"I took it off! It's a little far away!
Even so, the voice is young and doesn't feel like a sophisticated wizard at all.
"Go in!!!!"
When the sinister man's voice echoed, several people were heard entering the Great Hall.
But Automaton does not suddenly attack, with three treasure balls flashing and responding to new intruders.
"Right, no --"
Someone is trying to help me. I appreciate that. But this enemy is different. It's not just a monster. Mummy removal becomes mummy as it is.
"-- Fear Seyo --"
I didn't make it.
"I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared!
Huh? And Lulusha doubted his eyes. It was the beast of the cat who fed the automaton the jumping kick. The upper body of the automaton leaned heavily, but the foot is wheeled so it feels stable.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
A man hanging the decree of entry is slipping to the other side of it, wielding a vicious mace. Automaton tried to defend this with four arms, but Mace folded his arm.
"It's Nice, Mr. Dantes!
The last thing I heard was a boy's voice. Approaching the retreating automaton with a shock by Mace —— the disease was silent —— dived into the automaton's nostrils with a human detached bouncing force.
From there on forward, it was as if it were a move far from combat.
With an antique-loving gesture, I plugged the cutting-edge of the knife into one of the jewels and easily pulled it out.
KIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I hear a tall noise and then the automaton is silenced.
"I defeated... of...?
What was that? These people —— adventurers because they're distinctly different from the refs? —— Who the hell is it?
"Mr. Mimino, Mr. Non! Clear! Treat the wounded immediately!
"Roger that!
"Yes!"
To their actions, Lulusha is also hacked.
"Oh, yeah —— anything you can move, treat the wounded! Quickly stop the bleeding!!"
Our arrival seemed critical. A few, unconscious serious injuries came out but there were no deaths.
"No... that really helped me. Thank you, not only for crusading the automaton, but also for treating the wounded…"
The woman in charge bowed her head to us.
I make sure her eyes are amber —— I make sure they're the same color as old Hinga's, and I twitch.
"Are you possibly Mr. Lulusha?
"Oh, you're right. This is Lulusha from Attack Division 4. But with all these casualties out there, we can't continue the offensive... we're all going to return once and for all."
After all, yes. This is Mr. Lulusha. Grandson of an old Hinga man.
Oh, there's a shadow of an old Hinga guy somewhere —— called a rational face.
"Um, actually, I wanted to talk to you."
"I'm sorry. I want to talk to you about the mountains, but I want to get out of here as soon as possible and hit my men's treatment."
"Ah..."
You're right if you ask me. Mr. Lulusha looked sorry,
"... let's make time when we get back and settle down. Is that all right?
"Yes...... of course. That's okay."
"We'll help you on your way home."
That's what Mr. Dantes told me.
It takes time to prepare for the withdrawal of more than 100 organizations and even the wounded.
In the meantime, Mr. Muge was in the bargain when other Chamber of Commerce people told him they wanted to "buy" the automaton we defeated —— those in that Chamber seemed to be merchants who still called Mr. Muge the "Omboro Chamber of Commerce," and Mr. Muge went with a rough nose.
"So, I don't mind giving it to you, but shall we make it a competition or an auction?
"No, no, Mr. Muge. Do you want to fuck with me? You'll be here later."
"Hmm. So you should have waited for them all to die before letting them in?
"Guru… So let's just have an auction format with only one bid"
"Let's do that. Write a price on each piece of paper for me. Oh, of course you can't discuss the amount! Write on this occasion now! If you're not going to write, I'm going to say you're out of the game!
It's partitioned by Mr. Muge, who kind of got tired of being a merchant.
"... Guru... for you at the Omboro Chamber of Commerce"
"... be patient. That automaton was a hell of a performance."
"... this is immensely worth it"
My ear is picking up the bump that I'm talking about by [hearing enhancement].
After a while, one chamber of commerce banzaged with great joy, and I saw other chambers of commerce come disappointed. He said he seemed to have accumulated a considerable amount of money and that the payment came after he returned to the Empire.
"Yes, yes, is that okay?!? That's an awesome amount of money. This!?"
Mr. Muge, who was acting cool until just now, seemed to have broken the thread of tension when he came back.
"Calm down, Mr. Muge. Well, if you look at an automaton like that, don't even want it loaded with money."
"So, but 1000 Imperial Gold Coins!?"
Um... Imperial gold coins should have been worth about 300,000 to 500,000 yen a piece. That means... over 300 million yen!? Uh-huh, that's amazing indeed.
The defeated automaton was almost intact, except for the broken arm, although it was smaller than a dozen (...) that I saw until I got here. Seems like the first time I've encountered an automaton that uses an "emotional trap" —— the first time, after learning the fear of total annihilation -- I've had a lot of money. But I can't help but want that automaton.
(But hey, you can't just control "emotions" with an automaton)
Not so much material is piled on the carrier of Cat Chang. I collect all the treasure balls like eyes because they seem to sell at a high price as demonic stones, but the other magic part was once Mr. Muge tried to rose them all and said, "That's not a big deal".
The people at the Chamber of Commerce were loading the automatons looking important.
"Dantes, Reggie, take this medicine."
"Is it time already?
"I can afford it, but if it runs out on the way home, it won't be stylish."
Mr. Mimino gave me a medicine called "Magic Neutralizer," which has the effect of adjusting the magic in your body. If my guess that the "emotional trap" uses the magic that circulates into the dungeon is correct, then neutralizing the magic that is sucking into the body will not work, which in fact was correct: it was possible to disable the "emotional trap" that the four spear automatons roll out.
I know I'll have to try different ways again when the other traps come out.
By the way, "Magic Neutralizer" is not a common drug because it builds up too much magic and I hesitate to clothe it when I get mechanical sickness —— still, Mr. Mimino has made a combination of herbs in hand.
Our party members are just amazing (snoring inside).
No one asked me how we deactivated that automaton attack. For now, it will be because safe retreat is the top priority.
Since Mimino's cure and Nong's magic are limited, it was best to provide first aid for everyone.
Afterwards, there was no battle with the Automaton, and I was able to get out of the "Labyrinth of Fear" —— it seemed like it had been just a whole day, and in the morning sun, the wounded members were lowered in the elevator.
"Bye, 'silver balance'. I'll call you back —— thank you very much."
When Mr. Lulsha bowed her head to us, she left soberly.
But then after a day or two, I didn't hear from Mr. Lulusha.
