An appearance that can be seen at a glance even from a distance.

Judging from their attire, the golden golems he leads are probably the victims of the miners at the quarry.

What is important is King Gordius himself.

It was much taller and larger than the other guys, and was wearing skins of various races.

It is also an irregularly repeating pattern of a person’s face and body leather.

Meanwhile, the sight of holes in parts like the eyes, nose, and navel added quite a bit of grotesqueness to this terrible scene.

Whatever the meaning of the word, there is only one choice given its overwhelming appearance.

Respond immediately!

“Oh! Finally, an enemy worthy of this royal road has appeared.”

This is a cliché line I heard tirelessly while playing Dream City.

I had heard it so vividly, but it was my first time hearing a voice resonate so vividly through my skin.

Of course, this is not a game world.

“Everyone move!”

The people around me responded to my shout with their own unique answers.

Immediately, suppressive fire from the 6th place in the lead and the special forces begins.

“What! Isn’t it really not enough to welcome the king?!”

As the phalanx of golems positioned in front of Gordius collapsed, dialogue according to specific situations began to appear.

-Cow!

That’s the line announcing the boss’s full-fledged actions.

“You only pay attention to the topic of golems.”

When the golem, which was clearly a menacing size, moved, the 6th place did not let go.

Six mechanical arms that move so spectacularly that the eye cannot capture them all.

The process of repeating firing and loading is minimized, and what is emitted at an incredible rate of fire is not an ordinary bullet, but a purple magical bullet.

Although he didn’t say anything special, Gordius moved around to avoid the 6th place’s fire.

At least they have the intelligence to not attack such an attack outright.

“Is this all? Are you saying this is the power of those blocking my royal road?!”

No matter what he says, I’m faster than he thinks.

Moreover, it is very difficult to follow my movements in this darkness as I have turned into a baby bat.

“Then how about this?!!!”

Gordius quickly reacted to the sound he suddenly heard from behind him.

But why did I bother yelling?

‘It’s already too late to stop it!’

Before the king’s thick hand grabbed my hand.

Before that merciful hand turns me into gold.

My vicious right hand tore the king’s hand to pieces.

“That’s it!”

6th place and the opportunity I created.

This was not a group that would just sit back and watch this happen.

“Lina!”

As soon as Sylvia shouted, Lina made a square with the thumb and index fingers of both hands.

After placing Gordius and the other golems in the square, they immediately began emitting green eye rays.

The glare from her eyes and the white snakes in her hair began to turn Gordius’ body into a mere stone.

“… Indeed!”

***

Everything is going smoothly.

Two people who are like Gordian counters like Lina and Laia.

In addition, although it is not Maguspol’s highest level, it is a fairly high level party.

But… isn’t it too easy anyway?

I couldn’t believe that the infamous boss, Gordius, was defeated so easily.

‘No, if you’re as bloodthirsty as me, is this actually normal?’

Even while I was thinking that, Gordius was being pushed into one corner after another.

While Lina’s body was turned to stone by petrification, 6th place and Ilseong finished the fight. In case the two failed, Lund turned his blood into a sphere and stood by.

“Huh!”

Dark red electricity was released from the sword Ilseong swung, and immediately after, the king’s petrified head fell from the magical bullet fired by the 6th rank.

The king’s head lying on the floor…

wait for a sec!

“Be careful! Everyone…”

No matter how strong we were, the golem we defeated couldn’t have been Gordius.

The instinctive feeling that something was wrong made my whole body stand on end.

Even though my cries were meaningless, golems began to appear from all over the floor of the second basement level tunnel.

“Youngmin!”

“Yes, bro!”

“Lina, go back!”

“…!”

At Ilsung’s shout, Ray, who was near the group, quickly moved.

Sylvia also took care to ensure that Lina, who was an important force, could escape this commotion.

“What?! Where did those bastards come from!”

“The captain is not dead yet! It’s fake just now!”

6th place and I immediately started heading back to where our group was.

Our efforts are in vain…

The inside of the tunnel quickly became a mess. This was thanks to the golems that appeared in various locations.

Lund and his private unit members were too busy dealing with those closest to them, and the Serotonin Science Task Force also swung into action.

I don’t know what the meaning of their actions was, but for now, I needed to focus on the current situation.

But it looks like there were more golems hiding.

They emerged from the bottom of the mine shaft and tried to capture me and 6th place.

“This is too much!”

Before 6th place could answer me, one of the golems came out and approached 6th place.

Immediately after! With that sound, the blood film on both of our bodies disappeared. The guy didn’t stop there and touched us again.

Then my left arm and one of the 6th mechanical arms began to turn gold.

“Keuak!”

Sakduk! Without a word, my left arm, which had turned to gold, was amputated.

Even though my body was going to regenerate anyway, I felt the pain vividly. Even though the skin and bones were cut off in one go, the pain I felt made me curse.

“You are their leader. Right?”

Just as I gave up my left arm, the golem who made us like that spoke to me while 6th was disconnecting the mechanical arm that could no longer be used.

It looked ordinary enough to be compared to the overwhelming fake appearance from before. Except for the fact that it was just a golden-colored humanoid golem.

“This guy here is real!”

***

“Chris!”

“….”

Ray, who was in the group, responded to my shout, but it was Lund who responded first.

Despite the considerable distance, her blood curved and struck Gordius.

“It’s an amazing attack, but that’s it.”

Oh, really! If you don’t answer one by one, thorns will grow in your mouth.

Although the bosses in the Dream City game tend to talk a lot, it was almost annoying to hear them in person.

And Lund’s attack had meaning.

It gave me and 6th place some time to get ready! 6th place again pushed the king with six mechanical arms.

The firepower emitted by the two pairs of mechanical arms and the sight of him swinging a sword with his own two arms and a pair of mechanical arms were very threatening.

In addition, the blood that Lund shot remained on the real Gordius’ body. This meant that we could easily identify the real thing.

It was a nimble and simple 6th place combo, but Gordius quickly turned a pair of mechanical arms into gold and quickly widened the distance.

“Chris!”

Meanwhile, Ray approaches us! Ilseong then put pressure on Gordius with 6th place.

“Ray, I’m fine, so please go towards Sylvia!”

“…Okay.”

Just by looking at it, Ray’s eyes showed that he wanted to remain by my side.

However, there was a place where Ray’s power was needed more than that. The group is stranded thanks to the suddenly appearing golems.

There was some kind of player exchange as Laia came out this way with Ray heading towards them.

“Run away!”

“Chris, what should I do?!”

Even without the 6th place shouting, Gordius was seen trying to get out of this situation.

Meanwhile, Ilsung asked for advice from me rather than anyone else since I knew the most about him.

“Let’s chase it!”

“Chris, then you will be separated from your allies.”

“Still! With the four of us, we have a chance of winning.”

“…Okay.”

Laia’s opinion also had a point.

But if I did that, I could have missed Gordius completely.

There was no way that there was only one passage leading to the first floor that Eslok and Lillian found. I couldn’t miss this guy.

“Hahahahaha!”

“What, why is that guy like that!”

Gordius turned his back on us and started laughing happily as he ran away.

Since when was Gordius such a crazy person?

Without realizing it, I began to become wary of behavior patterns I was completely unfamiliar with.

“Laia, give me and 6th place a blood shield!”

“Yes!”

Following my instructions, Laia came out and formed a blood shield again with the 6th place.

Since it was walked while moving vigorously, its function may not be perfect.

‘But it’s still better than nothing!’

“Chris, it could be a trap.”

“So are you going to chase me? Are you going to stop?!”

As soon as Laia finished casting the blood curtain, Ilseong spoke to the remaining three.

As opinions diverged, 6th place moved its mechanical arm around as if asking me to make a decision.

“Honestly, I think there’s a chance it’s a trap. Especially when it comes to someone who is fully prepared like this. Still!”

“Still?”

I answered the 6th place question as if I had been waiting.

“If you go there knowing it’s a trap, it’s not a trap, it’s a confrontation!”

“Ha!”

As soon as Ilseong heard my answer, he started chasing Gordius, who was running away, and 6th place responded as if he was shocked.

“Laia, let’s go!”

“Yes!”

Leia and I revealed our wings and quickly flew inside the mine.

Ilsung and 6th moved along with us, but they couldn’t close the gap against the speed at which Laia and I were flying.

On the contrary, Laia and I significantly narrowed the gap with Gordius.

“Laia, be careful just in case.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

Because Laia had a clear role, I asked her to be more careful than me.

Of course, if something happened to Laia, I would respond right away, but there was no harm in being careful.

“Can you follow me?!”

‘No, you weren’t that kind of character!’

***

I couldn’t help but shudder at the reaction, which was clearly different from the Gordius I knew.

At that moment, the guy stopped running and changed direction.

For those of us who fly fast, it was slow movement. It must have been like that.

“Are you ignoring us?”

It looks like Laia was upset by that guy’s attack.

A stream of blood immediately spurted from her hands.

“Slow.”

A word from Gordius follows.

The guy said that and placed his hand on Laia’s body. Then, instead of Laia, the blood film on her body turned golden.

“Laia! Get back!”

While Laia was casting blood on her body again, I rushed at Gordius.

“Wow!”

The attack definitely hit him! Before I knew it, I was completely affected by gravity and my body flipped over and fell to the floor. He was just like me.

However, in that brief moment, I felt that the blood film had disappeared as if it had touched me as well.

“Chris!”

Ilseong shouted my name urgently from behind.

Let me urgently check the surroundings….

What came into my sight at the last moment was the figure of Laia, whose limbs had turned golden due to Gordius’ staggering body.

“Catch it!”

Despite the cries of the 6th place, Gordias began to run away again.

I cut off Laia’s limbs in an instant.

Every time this happened, Laia barely held back her screams, but she couldn’t help but feel that her eyes would become bloodshot and tears would come out.

“Laia, join us as soon as you’re ready!”

“….”

Before I knew it, Ilseong and 6th place were closer to Gordius than me.

I started flying after them, and before I knew it, I was chasing Gordius in the same position as the two men.
