Golem Dungeon

This was her second time in a Dungeon.

Americano breathed in the Dungeon air.

“Sss.”

Haaa…

Good.

Dungeons always bring anticipation.

She adjusted her grip on her sword.

She tensed her arm.

She put strength in her legs.

Her condition was perfect.

The chilling cold of [Nine Yin Severed Meridians] that had frozen and numbed her body was nowhere to be found.

Her blood was boiling.

It felt like hot blood was seeping into her brain.

Standing in the middle of the Dungeon, Americano didn’t know where she was or where she should go.

If she didn’t know, she explored.

First, straight ahead.

Only straight ahead.

But she knew this.

There were piles of rocks everywhere.

Whether the rocks had fallen from the high ceiling, the floor was uneven with debris.

Stepping on the uneven floor, she jumped up and surveyed 360 degrees.

At that moment, light magic emitted its maximum brightness, reaching the far walls.

She could see a passage where the walls were gradually narrowing.

She found a path.

‘Is it there?’

There was nowhere else.

She landed.

And immediately dashed forward.

But a certain rumble caught her ankle.

Rumble.

The piles of rocks rattled and piled up like snowmen.

It was a familiar feeling, and she could never forget that movement.

It was similar to the feeling when [Ultra Iron Golem] transformed from an iron cube into an iron giant.

Without any machinery, the rocks gathered and took human form.

[Stone Golem]

Red letters.

Clumsy fellows.

She could shake them off, but,

‘How can I just leave?’

Americano’s red eyes flashed as she charged at the [Stone Golem].

[Ready Posture]

[Enhanced] body.

[Enhanced] sword.

[Enhanced] Slash.

Americano’s [Slash] evaded the [Stone Golem]’s punch and dug into its side.

───Swish

The rock forearm fell off.

[Slash]

[Slash]

[Slash]

[Slash]

The [Stone Golem]’s arm, which had been reaching out to punch, was cut into several pieces.

Her sword, which had climbed up the arm to the shoulder, sliced through the [Stone Golem]’s neck.

Thud.

It fell.

“Come to think of it, was it Emeth?”

The day she defeated the [Ultra Iron Golem] and saw its absurd weakness.

She had searched the [Community].

The weakness of Golems was [emeth].

As she turned to look at the [Stone Golem], trying to find its weakness.

Rumble.

Rumble.

Rumble.

The [Stone Golems] awakened one after another.

The piles of rocks on the floor were not just debris, as many [Stone Golems] as there was space on a wide stage greeted her.

Even the [Stone Golem] she had just defeated,

Rumble.

Awakened.

“This is crazy.”

Where’s Emeth?

She decided to clash first and think later.

‘Ribbit.’

Americano couldn’t contain her excitement and defeated the [Stone Golems].

The number she could see at a glance exceeded thirty.

Smaller than the [Ultra Iron Golem], but still over 5 meters tall.

Thirty of them.

As the high walls came to life and approached, the pressure was incredible.

But Americano was not intimidated at all.

“Hah!”

She liked it even more.

She went berserk.

It was because she had [Enhanced] her [Berserk] state.

If she hadn’t [Enhanced] it, she would have ignored them and gone to find the boss first.

‘Ribbit, ribbit.’

Cappuccino croaked like reading from a textbook.

The name Cappuccino was chosen by the frog itself.

Since its owner didn’t give it a name, the pet had no choice but to name itself.

It was nestled in Americano’s chest, receiving the force of inertia, but even with chest against chest, it only felt good.

But that wasn’t important now.

Rumble.

The [Stone Golems] did not fall.

Nevertheless, Americano did not stop.

She liked the impact and the slicing sensation, and she tried to enjoy the fun of defeating the [Stone Golems] until the sweetness was all gone.

The idea of finding emeth and attacking its weakness? Didn’t exist.

‘It’s my turn to step up.’

‘Hmph!’

Witch Win snorted.

The [Soulstone of the Witch Win] attached to the [Ring of Contract] contained magic to maintain Witch Win’s ego.

Although sealed in the Demon King Stone, Witch Win was no different from her pre-seal self.

‘It must be my turn!’

Win shouted with joy.

She was happy that it was finally her turn.

‘I’ll show you my magic! The magic I’ve been preparing to be a helper by the Hero’s side was prepared for times like this!’

‘What are you going to do?’

‘Think about it. What do you think is the biggest weakness of a mage? Long casting times!’

Using spells with long casting times during battle leads to big openings.

The reason why mages are not suitable for combat is all because of that.

To use magic that matches your level, a correspondingly long casting time was essential.

But what about now?

Win was not participating in the battle.

Although in battle, she could cast spells as much as she wanted.

‘I always wanted to fight on the front lines. Even though I’m a Witch, fiddling around in the back doesn’t suit my temperament. So I pondered. I’ve become a pet’s ornament, but my dream is not over yet!’

Win used magic.

She used Cappuccino’s Magical Power.

Cappuccino’s special ability, which appeared in black letters based on Americano’s level, was mental magic.

The Magical Power was considerable.

There was no need to worry about a lack of Magical Power.

Mages needed long casting times.

Not for low circles, but,

You couldn’t win battles against opponents of the same level with low circles.

If you succeeded in casting, you could aim for a reversal, but that success was difficult.

‘Ah, what a long-awaited moment this is.’

Win chanted the magic.

A great magic at that!

Great magic with the enemy right in front of you.

‘My sisters will be so jealous when they hear about this!’

Keeheehee!

A magic circle unfolded around Americano.

The power of the magic circle grew stronger and stronger.

Win continued casting.

“..?”

She slashed the [Stone Golem].

Knocked it down.

When it got up again, another [Slash].

She felt the thrilling sensation of cutting moderately strong enemies in half with the [Execution Sword] in one blow.

In the meantime.

She saw the magic circle.

The source of the magic circle was her chest.

The frog.

“What are you doing?”

‘I’ll show you great magic. You fight on your own. My, Cappuccino’s, magic will help you.’

“I thought magic wasn’t very suitable for combat.”

‘You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re the one doing the fighting. And I’m safely using magic in your arms. I’ve overcome the biggest weakness!’

Listening to it, it was true.

The [Stone Golem]’s fist.

She jumped and climbed onto the fist, [Slashed] the [Stone Golem]’s arm.

As the [Stone Golem], which had lost its balance by extending its fist, approached, she cut it in half vertically with the [Execution Sword].

‘Magic is ready!’

“Okay.”

Americano could sense what kind of magic the frog would use with the [Telepathy] granted by the [Ring of Contract].

The [Stone Golem] that was nearby.

She jumped in and stepped on its head.

She [Leaped] high.

The completed magic circles in the high sky.

As the completed magic circles were aimed at the [Stone Golems], they were faintly tinged with the light of magic.

“….”

Landing.

The [Stone Golems]’ movements stopped.

“What did you do?”

‘Just a moment.’

She seemed to be asking the Witch.

‘Wait!’

She waited.

As she waited,

A change occurred.

The [Stone Golem] that was closest collapsed the shape of the rock doll.

The connecting parts broke and it returned to an ordinary pile of rocks.

Rumble.

Rumble.

Rumble.

They collapsed.

The [Stone Golems].

Americano was the only one standing on two legs.

“What did you do?”

‘I caused vibrations to create cracks in the rocks.’

Apparently, Golems are delicate.

If you can damage the core, there are few things weaker than a Golem.

‘Of course, I didn’t just give it ordinary vibrations. If it had been damaged by just that much, some of them would have been beyond repair when you were fighting.’

But she teased her for not breaking even one.

Whether she teased her or not, she sighed.

“What’s the point of my hard work if this happens.”

‘This is the power of magic. And the power you gained from your hard work.’

Is that so.

It was a bit different from what she wanted, but it was true that it helped.

Americano was able to calm her excitement.

“Hoo…”

Huh?

There was no breath.

It was warm.

Heater Magic.

It heated her cold body.

‘Thank you, right?’

“Yeah, I’m so thankful I could die.”

She warmed her body.

She ran towards the passage.

The Dungeon was a Golem Dungeon.

It blocked the passage.

A Golem.

[Dirt Wall Golem]

Red letters.

The [Dirt Wall Golem] that she met in the passage blocked the intruder in the form of a wall.

Meaningless.

She didn’t slow down.

[Slash]

She slashed upwards.

It split.

She jumped into the gap that split vertically and crossed the passage.

Even children knew that this path blocked by the [Dirt Wall Golem] was the right answer.

‘Did the Demonic Cultists go this way too?’

“I don’t know. We’ll find out when we get there.”

The passage blocked by the [Dirt Wall Golem] was one of two forks.

The [Dirt Wall Golem] was disguised as an ordinary wall, and the information window wouldn’t appear unless you noticed it.

If the Demonic Cultists had noticed the [Dirt Wall Golem], the [Dirt Wall Golem] wouldn’t be there.

Perhaps it greatly shortened the time to the Dungeon boss room.

Americano’s goal was Dungeon Break.

She didn’t care about investigating the Dungeon.

Investigating modern items?

A clue to return to reality?

‘Who cares.’

There were many other Dungeons besides this one anyway.

Even if she buried one or two Dungeons with her own hands, there would be many clues elsewhere.

The path blocked by the [Dirt Wall Golem] was a straight passage.

The width of the passage was only enough for one person to pass through.

She saw light.

A torch.

She immediately stopped and approached quietly.

The end of the passage was high.

She could see the path below.

It wasn’t that high, but she could spot Demonic Cultists holding torches below.

She immediately dashed out and [Executed] them.

She killed one,

Right next to it.

[Slash]

She cut it in half.

There were three of them.

A team of three?

Before they could make a sound, she put a [Thrust] into the mouth of the remaining one.

“Ah…”

After killing them all, she realized.

She should have just let them shout.

‘Then there would be no need to search.’

But it was too embarrassing for her to shout herself.

She pouted her lips.

Inside the Dungeon.

Presence.

She immediately ran.

She launched a surprise attack.

Clang!

It was blocked.

Americano’s eyes widened.

She took a step back.

The counterattack was fast, but,

Her evasion was faster.

She retreated, watching the ‘Black Fist’ that had come right in front of her.

Black Fist.

It was an opponent she knew.

“What are you?”

Pacheon-gun.

He was accompanied by a woman.

She was a girl with crimson eyes,

In her hand,

‘A smartphone.’

She was holding a familiar slab.
