◈ 049. [Free Exploration] Hidden Back Alley
“From now on, direct tactics!”
I looked back.
“Jupiter Damian!”
Jupiter was immediately gathering magic in both hands, but Damian was lost in his soul.
Two gigantic golems emerge from both sides, driving the two vanguard knights into a corner and causing a rampage.
It’s understandable that you’re bewildered by the situation, but you have to be alert! I grabbed one side of Damian’s cheek and pulled it all the way.
“Aww ow ow! It hurts, Prince!”
Tears welled up in Damian’s round brown eyes. Okay, I think I’ve come to my senses.
“Order! We attack the golem Lucas is dealing with first.”
Both Lucas and Evangeline are strong knights, but if you have to choose a role, there is a difference.
Lucas Diltan. He is an all-rounder who puts a dildo in and is in charge of tanking.
The dildo tang can also be performed flawlessly, but in other words it does not perform either perfectly.
On the other hand, Evangeline is basically a pure tank. He is a specialist who specializes in receiving and parrying opponent’s attacks.
“Evangeline! Switch to a full defensive stance and stop him. Lucas! Join us now!”
The standard tactic would be for the rest of the party to kill the other golem while Evangeline takes charge of one golem alone.
In reality, Evangeline is holding a shield and blocking it loosely.
“Blow off the Jupiter Golem’s breastplate armor!”
“I would be happy to do so.”
“Damian, are you feeling better?”
“Yes yes!”
“If Jupiter blows off his armor, shoot the exposed mana core. can you?”
“I will do it!”
Damian nodded, gripping the horse gun tightly. I also nodded my head.
visor! Chae Chaeng!
Now Lucas was pushed right in front of me.
Goo Oh! Gooooooo!
The golem repeatedly slammed its huge fist down, and Lucas was parrying it all with a sword strike, but his legs continued to step backwards.
Large monsters like golems have a small number, but each individual is strong.
Besides, since he’s a guy with an elite title, it’s no wonder that head-to-head confrontation is difficult.
“That’s why we’re partying!”
After shouting, I stretched out my hand and
flashed!
A thunderbolt fell.
The lightning shot by Jupiter hit the golem’s upper body. The charred metal gloves cracked open.
However, perhaps the gloves are not normally strong, they were charred and had a few cracks, but they withstood Jupiter’s magic intact.
“Isn’t it enough!”
Jupiter clicked his tongue, but I shook my head.
“no! that’s enough!”
Chunk!
Damian had already raised his horse gun and was aiming.
Damien doesn’t need a big gap. A very small, fine crack is sufficient.
“I want you~!”
At the same time as I shouted, Damien pulled the trigger and
Tukang-!
The triggered magic bullet came out of the muzzle and spewed bright yellow flames.
“Wow?!”
Unable to handle the recoil of the horse gun, Damian collapsed backwards.
Damien rolled on the floor and I ran right before he hit the wall and I took it with my body. Courage!
“Prince?!”
“Khehe! Are you okay?”
“I am fine. A golem?!”
I gave a grin to Damian who couldn’t come to his senses.
“look.”
A smile of relief appeared on Damian’s lips as he followed the direction I pointed with my index finger.
Kung Koo Goo Palace… … .
The golem was slowly falling. My knees were already on the floor and my upper body slowly dropped to the floor.
Jupiter’s magic created a crack between the gloves, and Damian’s magic bullet, penetrating through the gap, accurately penetrated the mana core.
The giant golem stopped working in an instant.
“Whoa.”
Lucas was also relieved and lowered his longsword.
“It was pretty tough.”
“It was an elite monster that was much stronger than normal monsters. Compared to District 1, it suddenly became more difficult, so I was taken aback.”
It seems that District 2 will be a way to hunt a small number of elite monsters.
It would be a shame to think of it as a boss fight every time you encounter an enemy.
It was then.
“No, why are you all giving up as if everything is over?”
A scream was heard. Surprised, I saw Evangeline, who was still blocking one golem.
“It’s not over here yet?!”
“Oh, I’m sorry. You’re blocking it so quietly.”
“What is this quiet! The shields all look dented!”
bang! Kwakwang!
Evangeline’s shield, which received the attack, began to glow white.
Evangeline’s 1 skill damage save. It stores all the blows the golem inflicts.
“Hey I don’t know! Eat this!”
The light gathered in Evangeline’s shield moved to the window. Evangeline held out her white shining spear with all her might.
Evangeline’s 2 skill damage payback!
Tuhak-!
The damage stored so far came out all at once.
Its power was terrifying, so the tip of Evangeline’s spear pierced the hard golem’s gloves like
tofu crushing, and it was a blast!
exploded inside.
The golem’s right half was tattered as if a bomb exploded inside.
“Oh oh!”
I was involuntarily amazed.
Is this the combination of the strongest tanker Evangeline Cross’ attack and defense skills!
oh oh… … .
The staggering golem knelt on one knee.
“Good! It’s over-!”
Excited, Evangeline tried to attack the golem as it was.
right at that moment.
Slippery!
“uh?”
Stepping on the fuel leaking from the golem, Evangeline spun in the air and fell spectacularly. Kudangtangtang!
“… .”
“… .”
static for a while.
None of the party members, not even the golem, could move.
Evangeline is pinned to the floor, not moving.
I wonder if she passed out, but seeing that even her earlobes are dyed red, it seems like she just can’t move because she’s embarrassed… … .
I tried to block the laughter that was about to leak out with my hand and gestured to Jupiter.
“Joo Jupiter! The situation is urgent! Hurry up and finish it.”
“Yeah~!”
Jupiter, who was laughing out loud, snapped his fingers.
Quagmire!
Lightning struck and burned the golem’s left half to black. The golem was slammed to the ground.
“Whoa~”
Jupiter smirked as he blew air from his fingertips.
“Thank you for giving up your major. miss!”
No, don’t scratch inside the child!
“… .”
Evangeline still doesn’t move. I put my hand on my forehead and let out a shallow sigh.
Evangeline’s characteristic [full of mistakes] seems to have exploded here.
‘Looking back, Evangeline is a bit of a fool.’
Even when we first met, he didn’t notice that I was punching him.
Same with the teleport sickness, this time I fell down after stepping on the oil on the floor.
‘I may be able to laugh it off now, but in an imminent situation, it might be really dangerous… … .’
At that time, Evangeline, who stumbled and got up from her seat, glanced back at me.
I see two eyes that are bright red. It was a face that would kill me if I made fun of this mistake.
“greatness! Hehehe!”
We each cleared our throats and avoided Evangeline’s gaze.
Don’t mention it for nothing, let’s move on nicely.
“Miss Evangeline, are you okay? If you are injured, I will recover… … .”
No, this kind, careless healer child?!
Damian rushed to Evangeline’s side and used recovery magic.
Evangeline’s forehead was red and swollen, and when Damian’s healing magic touched it, it quickly healed.
“… .”
It seems unreasonable to recover even the scratched pride.
Evangeline trembled with a flushed face as if she were about to explode at any moment.
“what? Did you ever hit your face on the floor?”
I hurriedly removed Damian, who tilted his head. My kid is really nice, but he doesn’t notice!
“Kuhm! now! Hurry up and retrieve the item from the golem. Since they were powerful, they must have dropped the good ones.”
“Yes yep.”
“This old man likes this time the best~”
Lucas and Jupiter nodded and quickly ran to the golem.
‘I still need more treatment!’ I dragged Damian along.
Evangeline, who had been standing there for a while, murmured softly.
“No, being so considerate makes me even more pissed off… .”
But we’re already speeding towards the golem over there.
Evangeline, who was staring blankly at our backs, squealed.
“Just kidding! Just laugh at me! hey! Where are all of you! Aaaaaa!”
***
I was able to retrieve one large chunk of magic stone from the two steam golems.
I held the magic stone in my hand and measured its weight. I think something heavy would be worth some money.
“hmm… Everything looks expensive.”
Lucas tilted his head while holding the engine part of the golem equipped with the magic core.
“I’m no stranger to alchemy… … I really don’t know what’s important.”
“Nandle, do you know? Just bring something that is in good condition.”
On the other side, Jupiter picks up only the shiny parts and puts them in his pocket.
Also golden light. Money smells awful.
“Ugh… shit… Why is there oil there… … .”
Evangeline muttered something to herself while casually searching through the remains of the golem. Looks like you need a mental recovery.
“Kuhm!”
I approached with a clearing of my throat and admonished Evangeline from behind.
“My junior, don’t be ashamed of just that. Everyone lives making more mistakes. Falling down after running two and a half times in the air after stepping on oil isn’t even worth kicking the blankets before going to bed… … .”
“… .”
Evangeline’s pointed eyes flashed terrifyingly. It seems that the protruding fangs will bite me at any moment.
Well, I guess I can’t fix it like this. Let’s shut up.
Finally, I saw what Damian was doing.
“Hmm.”
As the golem appears, he is seriously examining the wall he destroyed. I approached him.
“Why is that, Damian?”
“here. This way.”
Damian pointed to the inside of the wall.
“I have something, Prince.”
“Something?”
My eyes widened as I got closer.
Buried in the rubble of a collapsed stone wall… … It was definitely a treasure chest! Nice clairvoyant!
“Good job Damian!”
I was thinking of searching for this, but I thought I’d find it all at once.
If Jupiter finds out that there is a treasure chest, he will try to open it first because of the ‘Golden Ore’ trait. I’d better open quickly.
I went in front of the box with joy and happiness,
“… ?”
This box is subtly shaking.
Besides, that shiny thing between the lid and the main body… … it’s teeth
‘It’s a Mimic, this… … .’
A mimic is a monster that disguises itself as a box.
If you defeat it, it actually gives you an item, but if you open it without defense, you will be in a bad situation.
I was going to call the other party members and deal with it, but I suddenly had another idea.
“… .”
I glanced back. I saw Evangeline, her shoulders drooping.
I’ve only had bad things since I came to this city.
As I passed out from my 777 punch, my weapons were damaged, and I learned of my father’s death, and I followed him to the dungeon for no reason, only to have a kick.
In particular, the last mistake seems to be embarrassing right now. Well, that’s right.
I just graduated from the academy at the top of my class, so I must have high self-esteem, but I made this mistake as soon as I went to the actual game.
‘Should I soothe you a little?’
I thought and gestured to Damian.
“Damian Irion.”
“Your prince.”
Damian came close to me with a gun.
“Listen, Damian.”
I naturally put my shoulder around Demian and pointed towards the treasure chest.
“From now on, I will deliberately touch the mimic disguised as a treasure chest over there.”
“yes? Ah yes… .”
I continued to explain to Damian, who did not understand well.
“And they will be caught on purpose and eaten on purpose.”
“… ?”
“okay? Do you understand?”
Damian looked up at me with eyes that he couldn’t understand, and then said,
“Get better, get better.”
He carefully caressed my forehead with the hand that used the recovery magic.
No, I didn’t hurt my head! I’m normal now!
