Episode 70 〈Guardian of the Tomb〉
====================
“Huh? uh?”
Hans’ eyes were filled with astonishment.
When he stepped back in fear, there was someone who tripped him.
Hans lost his balance and fell on his butt.
Suddenly, a huge sword blade passed over his head.
He looked at the skeleton who saved him with a dumbfounded expression and muttered.
“Poetry Divine Skeleton! “As expected, my eyes were not wrong!”
Is now the time to be amazed?
Cyclops raised his sword again.
I shouted as I saw that.
“rescue!”
The skeletons moved quickly.
They bowed their heads and grabbed Hans’ arm and pulled him.
“Restriction!”
Skeletons used chains to tie the limbs of the Cyclops Golem.
“Punishment! ”
The skeletons jumped up.
Skeletons rushed left and right and cut off the Cyclops Golem’s chest.
A loud noise erupted and the Cyclops Golem took a step back.
The skeletons looked at their swords in surprise.
Dwarf Jane’s sword is cracked.
Hans shouted at that sight.
“The outside is mixed with mithril. It’s impossible to destroy with a normal sword!”
The mountain is getting more and more fragile. Does this mean that even dwarven weapons don’t work?
The Cyclops Golem swung the sword in both hands.
The skeletons raised their shields to defend themselves.
The sword blade struck the shield, and the skeletons could not stand it. He hit the wall.
“What what-!”
The mercenaries also raised their shields.
They tried to block the indiscriminate sword blades, but their limbs were sliced like tofu.
“Aaaah!”
When his colleague died, the mercenary leader, Casel, screamed and turned away.
The moment he was about to leave the entrance, the door was seen closed.
While they were distracted, the entrance was sealed.
“What? Why won’t it open!”
Casel knocked on the closed door.
“Tinya! This way…!”
Damon retreated to the pillar with Tinya in tow.
He and she raised their staffs, ready to use magic.
Skeletons in armor and holding shields faced the Cyclops Golem.
I summoned my musket and leaned against the pillar and prayed. raised it.
At that time, the Cyclops Golem’s eyes burned red.
A red ray emanated out.
The skeletons raised their shields again to block them.
The shield and the rays collided.
Slowly, the shield and the bodies of the skeletons turned into stone.
“That is. “What else?”
I swallowed my breath.
Damon wrapped his arms around Tinya, leaned against the pillar, and said,
“It’s a petrification spell!”
Petrification magic? Is it Medusa’s face from Greek mythology or something?
“If you look at it once, won’t you just die?”
Then it’s a complete scam!
Damon said, breaking out in a cold sweat.
“It’s a form of surrounding the outside with stones. If you get hit by that, you’ll die from extreme heat or suffocation rather than turning to stone.”
In other words, it’s a concrete beam that hardens quickly?
I looked at the other pillar.
Hans had survived and was leaning against the pillar.
“Do you have anything useful?”
“Huh? Oh wait a minute.”
Hans put the bag down on the floor and started taking out miscellaneous items inside.
I used my mind’s eye and looked at them.
[Poison bomb] [Goggles for viewing magic circuits] [Warp scroll] And other miscellaneous books and items.
Alchemist He said, but didn’t see anything that looked that good.
“Just hand over the three items there.”
“Huh? Ha, but…”
Hans threw the poison bomb and the goggles, but he didn’t throw the warp scroll.
“These are ridiculously expensive.”
“Looking at it, it looks like a cheap thing that can only move 3 meters. Just pass it on!”
Compared to the warp magic Nasus used, it was a worthless item.
“That…! It’s the masterpiece of my life. Huh? But how do you know its function?”
“Shut up and let it go. Or do you want to turn into a stone statue and die?”
Hans even threw the warp scroll.
When the Cyclops Golem approached, spouting out a beam of light, I put on my goggles and looked at the statue. I
could feel the flow of magical power around me.
There was something like a gemstone stuck in the eye area, as if it was functioning as a brain.
I [ I injected holy power into a crystal ball called [Poison Bomb].
The opponent is a stone statue. Above all, a poison bomb using magic power would not be able to kill it.
However, if it were a purified holy water bomb, it would be a different story.
I threw a crystal ball filled with holy water.
The stone statue . It struck the chest and exploded.
The statue stumbled, the beam stopped and shook its head.
Now.
I used divine energy to temporarily [advance] the warp scroll.
When I tore the scroll, my body was split into molecules and moved. .
The moved location was above Cyclops’ head.
He stepped on the Cyclops Golem’s shoulder.
With one hand, he grabbed the golem’s head and with the other hand he held the muzzle of the gun to its big eyes.
“Just roll over, you damn bastard.”
I pulled the trigger.
A bullet was fired from the muzzle and the head exploded.
The Cyclops Golem, which hesitated, retreated and struggled. The moment it reached out and tried to grab me, the Cyclops Golem’s body began to crack and it collapsed.
I hesitated and collapsed. I stood on the remains of the statue.
When I looked around, all the mercenaries were dead.
Some had their limbs cut off and some had turned into stone statues.
I looked at the entrance.
Even the mercenary leader, Casel, had been turned into a stone statue knocking on the closed door. .
“Are you done?”
Hans stuck out his head.
Damon took Tinya out and looked at the Cyclops Golem and let out an exclamation.
At that moment, the room shook.
Crumbs fell from the ceiling and began to gradually settle down.
“I’m going crazy.”
When I came to explore the tomb, I felt like taking a picture of Indiana Jones.
I touched my temple and looked at the skeletons.
They grabbed Casel’s statue, knocked it over and groaned to open the door. Then I shook my head.
I found another entrance. I looked.
I saw a small entrance behind where the Cyclops Golem was.
“Are you telling me to go deeper inside?”
It’s as if the tomb itself is trying to lure the intruder deeper into a trap.
“Let’s go. “If this continues, we will all die!”
Hans huffed and gathered his things.
I picked up some of the broken pieces of the Cyclops Golem.
Using the Mind’s Eye and Magic Hans’ goggles, I was able to understand the structure of the magic more easily.
I looked at the magic stone for a while and then headed towards the entrance, followed by Tinya and Damon.
**
Both then and now, people called emperors seemed to like showing off their power.
Ancient Egyptian kings and Qin Shi Huangdi built giant pyramids and terracotta warriors.
It seems the same goes for the kings of this world.
There were similar ruins, such as the giant pyramids and the Terracotta Warriors.
I picked up the torch and explored the dark interior of the pyramid.
The place was like a ‘factory’.
A blacksmith shop created to manufacture weapons, a laboratory for magic research, a workshop for siege weapons, etc.
In addition, the remains of over a thousand weapons and equipment, as well as hundreds of tanks and horses, were scattered around.
There were also some stone statues of Cyclops Golems here and there.
“It’s definitely a treasure trove.”
At least that would be the case in Aslan, which is based on necromancers.
Each of them retains its sophistication even after thousands of years have passed.
If Aslan’s nobles discover this tomb, they will possess great power.
Damon also looked around with an ecstatic expression as if he were possessed.
“That’s amazing. “A historic site of this magnitude will serve as a foundation for reviving not only the fallen nobility but also the dynasty.”
I ate some beef jerky from the item window.
At the same time, I glanced at the Cyclops Golem pieces.
“Can this thing move?”
Damon approached and observed the statue.
“I think it would be difficult. It is a very complex structure and requires a considerable amount of horsepower to move it. “Right now, I don’t know how to move.”
At Damon’s words, I lifted the Cyclops Golem’s gemstone.
The flow of the structure has been understood to some extent.
At my current level, I should be able to maneuver.
He placed his hand on the head of the kneeling stone statue.
Hans looked around.
As an alchemist, he looked around the ruins with curiosity. Then, I suddenly looked at the ‘coffin’ hanging on the wall and tilted my head.
He stepped back and held the torch high.
As the darkness disappeared, hundreds and thousands of coffins could be seen attached like decorations.
Hans looked back with ominous eyes.
“Can you take a look here…?”
At Hans’ words, Tinya also looked at the coffin.
Dust flowed from the open coffin, and the eyes flashed.
* *
Swarming insects crawled out between the coffins. At the same time, a corrupted hand popped out.
A being with flashing eyes forced open the coffin and began to come out.
“Damon. “They’re dead!”
Damon was startled by Tinya’s shout and looked around.
Thousands of coffins opened and the dead crawled out.
‘Mummy’ with bandages and decayed skin. Damon swallowed a groan when he saw them.
“It’s Mommy. “They are still guarding the tomb!”
Damon was embarrassed.
Even though it is an ancient site, I never dreamed that there would still be a guardian guarding the tomb.
“Mr. Allen!”
Tinya quickly called Allen.
Allen closed his eyes and concentrated his holy power.
He was preparing something.
The mummies who opened the coffins from the high wall fell to the floor and made a thudding sound.
The fallen mummy stood up with a start and revealed an evil look in her eyes.
A group of staggering mummies grabbed the weapons hanging on the wall.
He summoned a skeleton horse using the horse’s remains, attached it to a chariot, and rode it.
The mummies’ eyes looked at the intruders.
The group is very stiff.
Among them, Allen, who was injecting sexual power into the stone statue, came into the Mummy’s field of vision.
Humans will be the first target.
One of the mummies started walking.
Mummy, who had been walking slowly, started walking quickly and eventually jumped up.
As he swung his sword at his target, bandages wrapped around his body fluttering, Tinya stood in front of him.
He injected holy power into the staff and struck the ground.
A dry tree trunk protruded from the ground and wrapped around Mummy’s body.
“Damon. “Protect the angel!”
“All right!”
Damon ran and hit the restrained Mummy with his cane as hard as he could.
Hans huffed and hid behind them and began rummaging through their luggage.
“Listening to the dead is… Here it is!”
Hans sprinkled silver dust on the floor.
Despite the noise around him, Allen quietly closed his eyes.
His right hand was holding the stone statue’s head, and his left hand was holding the stone that served as the brain of the Cyclops Golem.
[Use divine energy.]
Using divine energy, the function of the Cyclops Golem was temporarily increased.
I used my mind’s eye to analyze the flow of magical power.
As if I had learned a skill book, knowledge began to flow into my head.
And…
the Cyclops Golem’s eyes appeared.
[Activate the Cyclops Golem.]
[A new skill has been created.]
-Coooooo!
The two pairs of skeletal horses let out their breath of death.
With a rough taunt, he bounced off the mummies who had formed a line and rushed at Allen’s companions.
The mummies on the chariot raised their spears and the skeletal horses raised their hooves high.
It seemed like it would be crushed at any moment.
Because the tank rushed at me so quickly, there was no time to prepare for it.
“Huh!”
“Tinya, it’s dangerous!”
“Angel, you have to protect the angel!”
At that sight, Hans covered his head and Damon stood in front of Tinya to protect her.
When Tinya looked away worried about Allen, a huge hand passed in front of her eyes.
Tinya’s eyes widened and she shook her head. Lifted.
A 5m tall megalithic statue.
Cyclops Golem.
Wearing iron armor surrounding its entire body, the Cyclops Golem threw a pair of skeletal horses. The
chariot overturned and the remaining pair struggled.
The skeletal horses caught in the statue climbed onto the chariot. He stepped on the mummies on board.
As the Cyclops Golem moved, the mummies raised their heads.
The megalithic statue’s eyes glowed.
“Round 2 has begun.”
Allen smiled as he climbed on the statue’s shoulder.
A petrifying ray shot out and turned the mummies into stone statues.
Many mummies stabbed their spears, but they could not make a single scratch on the Cyclops Golem.
It would crush the mummies with its overwhelming power. It was time.
-Koooooooooooooooooooo!
A roar full of death that made my eardrums burst.
Tinya and Damon Hans were instantly filled with fear and their bodies froze.
Even Allen, who was riding on the shoulder of a megalithic statue, was someone who had to look up. When their eyes turned into the darkness, a huge monster revealed its face. It had
a
huge body, large bat wings, and massive arms and legs that could crush even a giant.
It had a pair of horns that looked majestic as if it were the strongest creature on earth. The head of a dragon was visible.
The dragon.
The guardian of this ruins was looking out at Allen with his breath of flame.
