Chapter 164 - Nanarai Bodra (2)

Artpe’s party took a peaceful break.It lasted for three hours.The Demon King’s army was still moving aimlessly outside.Artpe’s party ridiculed the Demon King’s army as they entered into the ruin.Everyone had regained their peak condition.The only one that had been in a state of discomfort was Artpe, but he didn’t make the mistake of complaining out loud.

“Oppa, are you ok?”

“You are the one that dived onto me with everyone in tow.Do you think I’ll forget about that, you rascal?”

“Eh-hee.”

Artpe vigorously stroked Sienna’s head.She let out an embarrassed laughter.He stretched out his Mana Strings in all direction.They had bravely entered into the ruin, but the thick Demonic energy made it hard for them to see.This meant that the effectiveness of the Read All Creation was reduced.

However, he could imbue the Mana Strings with his Read All Creation ability.It was a method that was better than seeing with his eyes.It was a cheat.

“Nanarai Bodra was a full-fledged Demon, so why did he gather such dense Demonic energy here?Why did he keep it a secret from the Demon King of his era….?He was a Demon, yet he didn’t really act like a Demon.”

“There is something Artpe doesn’t know.Amazing.”

“We aren’t out on a picnic, so stop smiling, you dork.”

Nervousness was entirely missing from Maetel.He flicked Maetel on her forehead as he extended his Mana Strings deeper into the ruin.The Mana Strings came into contact with something, and his Mana Strings were severed.

“It’s coming!”

Artpe yelled out as he created a barrier in front of his party.He controlled the Mana Strings that weren’t severed to create a holy barrier.As soon as he created it, something rammed into the barrier.When Vadinet create a holy flame to illuminate their surrounding, the identity of the enemy was revealed.

“Golem······?”

[Geeeeeeee-gee-gee-gee!]

“Let’s destroy it first!Think later.”

Unexpectedly, the Golem wasn’t that large.It was a bit larger than the armored Elrick.However, the power contained within it wasn’t small.There was one thing that was interesting….

“It isn’t Demonic energy.”

“Holy energy isn’t doing any extra damage!”

“It’s all right.Physical damage still works on it!”

Sienna let out an energetic shout as she charged forward.The sledge hammer in her hands expanded to twice its original size.In the next moment, she took a powerful swing.The Golem had just broken through the barrier.She applied a clean hit on the Golem that was about to charge forward.

[Geeeeeeeeeee!]

It didn’t matter if the Golems were strong or weak against holy power.Their outer shell was made out of composite metals.It was very hard, and Artpe couldn’t discern the identity of the metal at first glance.Despite it being incredibly hard, the outer shell couldn’t stand up to Sienna’s strength.Half its body cratered from her strike!

[Gee-gee-gee-gee-gee-gee-gee!]

“I’m going too!”

When Sienna swung her heavy hammer, it was inevitable that an opening was formed in her defense.Sienna had to avoid taking damage, and at the same time, it was her role within the party to stop the charge of an enemy’s attack.However, this was in the past.After Elrick had joined the party, her load had decreased considerably.

[Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!]

The entire body of the Golem was covered with a black metal.It swung its arm to hit Sienna, but Elrick had charged forward as soon as Sienna had started retracting her hammer.It was well-timed.Elrick had swung his axe, and a loud thundering noise was produced when he hit the Golem.

“Koohk.This guy is really sturdy······!”

“Why isn’t it actively attacking us?”

“Oh Winter Spirit!Please stick to the joints of my enemies.”

The Golem wasn’t fast in the first place.When Regina finished her chant, the Golems was moving much slower than before.Maetel wouldn’t miss out on such a golden opportunity.

“Hoohp!”

“Eh-eet!”

She used Acceleration to charge forward, and the violent swing of her bastard sword caved in the head of a Golem.She immediately made her Mana explode to nullify the defense of the Golem.Sienna and Elrick followed up with additional strikes!

The hammer and the axe dug into the Golem’s body.If someone that didn’t know all the circumstances saw the fight, it would have looked very brutal.

“Winter Queen’s Nail!”

Afterwards, it was Regina’s turn.Her Ice Spear pierced through the Golem.The entire hero’s party ganged up on the Golem.They had gone all out!

The Golem hadn’t been able to put up a decent fight before it stopped functioning.As soon as the Ice Spear hit the Golem, the party backed off.They wiped off their sweat.It was a form of a celebration ritual.

“This is easier than I thought it would be?”

“Hey.Why didn’t it put up more of a fight against us······?”

The battle had ended too easily compared to the quality of opponent they had faced.It seemed they were aware of this fact.The party members tilted their head in puzzlement as they each expressed their opinions.Artpe checked to make sure no more Golems were coming towards them.Then he approached the fallen Golem.

“It is possible that this Golem wasn’t made for battle in the first place.”

“This ruin is overtly letting out so much Demonic energy.The Golem also possesses powerful magical energy, yet it wasn’t made for battle?”

“Yes.I think it is a possibility.”

Not all ruins and Dungeons were made with fighting taken into consideration.Magicians also created these types of structures for magical research.The process in creating a magic tome imbued the magic tome with knowledge and defensive mechanisms were placed within the structure.This was why it was common to consider these research facilities as Dungeons.

Most Dungeons and ruins were defined by those that explored them.Artpe’s party had decided this place was a ruin, and they had come in prepared for a battle.

“This Golem is within a space filled with Demonic energy, yet it doesn’t use the Demonic energy.It uses Mana.”

“I guess so·····?”

“That means this Golem might have been built with the purpose of······.”
