Episode 51.9 (1/2)
The group reached a huge hall.
Ahead of them is a wall with a giant mirror embedded on it.
”That mirror is the entrance. The Three Giants are inside. You can go in and out without restriction, but you can't see or hear what's going on inside. The Giants can't get out of the room.”
”I see.”
Lecan was but an onlooker by this point.
Dungeon Knights have full knowledge on the ins and outs of Dungeon Yufu. No point in Lecan butting in. He just gotta wait for them to defeat the Three Giants now. So he believed.
That was when Lecan heard the voice of a woman in his ears.
A nerve wrecked voice close to yelling.
A desperate voice trying to call out something.
”Hm?” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Yet, neither Duo standing next to him or other Dungeon Knights seemed to hear that.
(That voice sounded real.)
(A voice begging help.)
(I know it.)
(I know that voice.)
(The same voice I first heard in this world.)
(Ruby is calling for my help!)
”Duo.”
”Hm?”
”The Three Giants lie beyond that mirror, yeah?”
”Yea, that's right.”
”You can get out of the Temple if you beat them.”
”Yea. The door behind Three Giants opens up.”
”Do these Giants have a trait that makes them invulnerable to physical attacks?”
”Invulnerable to physical attacks? Nah, nothing like that. They're stupidly sturdy though.”
”Do they have preset conditions that make them immortal.”
”Conditions, immortal? What the heck's that.”
”A trait that makes them unkillable until you satisfy certain conditions. Like say, the order you defeat them.”
”Nah, there's nothing of such. You can kill them in any order.”
”Sorry, but humor me some time. Right. A slow count to 30 will do.”
”Don't tell me, Lecan. You're gonna head inside by yourself.”
”Yea.”
”You're just gonna rush to your death. What's the deal anyway.”
”Felt I could hear Rubianafale's voice, asking for help.”
Duo turned his head and stared hard at Lecan's face.
”So I'm going to use my aces up sleeve here.”
”Aces up sleeve?”
”Passing through.”
Lecan cut his talk with Duo short and walked toward the mirror.
Vice Commander, Black Ormoa and the other five knights were awaiting for Duo Bahn's order. Lecan passed by them and went in the mirror.
Duo's voice could be heard right afterward.
”No one interferes! Afford Lecan time.”
Noise disappeared once Lecan was inside the room. This place is in another space.
Three Giants were lying in wait. Each of them is twice as tall as Lecan.
One Giant has a giant sword.

Another Giant has a giant shield.
And the last one has a giant wand.
The Three Giants quietly stared at Lecan. They're waiting for him to start the battle.
”<Tiri Warda Roa>.”
After activating <Ring of Undying King>, Lecan took a Bombshell out of <Storage>, took off its safety plug and pushed the discharge button. He left the firepower setting alone. In other word, at maximum power. Ordinarily he can't set maximum power unless he's at a considerable distance away, but <Ring of Undying King> has made it possible.
Afterward, he regulated his breathing, counted the timing and threw the bombshell at the Three Giants.
A flash of white light ruptured.
Lecan got blown away, and hit the wall hard before rolling on the ground. He stood up after a bit, and saw Sword Giant and Wand Giant having been torn down. Only Shield Giant alone could still move despite losing its right leg and left arm. Its shield has been blown into pieces, and its right arm was bent unnaturally, but it was still alive with fighting spirit intact.
It threw the shield's wreckage at Lecan which he dodged. Then <Ring of Undying King>'s effect ended.
”<Gaspario Raff>.”
Shield Giant stopped moving once Lecan activated <Talisman of Darkness Demon>.
Lecan drew <Comet Cutter> while walking, generated the magic blade and slashed at Shield Giant's neck. The first and second slash couldn't cut it, but the third one did the trick.
Afterward, only three treasure chests remained in the room.
