Chapter 26: Search for the sacred sword part 3
From the first to the third floor, there was nothing but wood golems. Their numbers increased by one with each floor, but Karan burned them all.
The situation finally changed when Survivors reached the fourth floor.
Guoooo!
This time its bronze golems. Apparently there are metal golems in the middle part but
Can we take this with us? Its bronze right?
Tianna asked as she stared at the bronze golem.
The shining brass colored body without a hint of blue rust would surely fetch a good price with dwarves that would want to cast or engrave it.
But
We cant, if we try to take it with us the door wont open. Apparently its something called a security system. The labyrinth uses the golems adventurers take down to make new ones, so it would be a problem if people could take materials with them
So stingy Well, if people started stealing golems this place wouldnt last long.
People from long ago were cautious. I should learn from them.
Thats right.
Sem and Tianna murmured, while the two in front of them were moving around restlessly.
Take that! Karan!
Nick moved all around as he fought the bronze golems.
The bronze golems were completely focused on Nick. Their bodies were too heavy and slow to hit him, and Nick cut them with his knife any time he saw an opening.
When Karan saw a chance to strike, she didnt let it get away.
Yaaah!!!
Gugagagah!?
Karans Dragon Bone Sword severed one of the golems neck.
It was hard to melt its bronze body with fire breath. Wind and cold were also not very effective, so it wasnt easy to take it down with Tiannas magic.
This was why Sem cast support magic before they entered the middle level, Nick drew the enemys attention, and Karan finished it, in other words, the usual strategy.
Alright, ones down!
Nick hit the remaining golems knee with his knife. It wasnt a slash, Nick saw the golems center of gravity and its structure, got hold of it, and made it fall.
Soryah!
Karan swung down her Dragon Bone Sword and hit the fallen golem.
It twitched for a second, but soon stopped moving.
Im the only one thats not doing anything.
Tianna said with an upset expression.
Well, once the battle starts Im left with nothing to do too.
Sem you cast support magic. I like how easy it is, but still
Tianna sounded bored, and Nick replied.
The show only really starts in the lower floors. Once we get there youll have to work more than youd like.
I guess thats true.
Yes, were saving you for when we get there. Karan are you hurt? Do you want some water?
Im not hurt, Im alright.
Karan drank from the canteen that Nick handed to her.
Ever since they defeated the ogre together, Karan had been listening to Nicks instructions, and Nick had been taking care of her a lot. Sem and Tianna looked on with grins on their faces.
You two are like brother and sister.
N-No.
Karan was a dragon person, and she was blessed with a nice body for her age.
Humans and dragon people have more or less the same lifespan, but dragon people reached adulthood faster. Someone that didnt know this would surely think that Karan was older than Nick.
What? Do you have a problem with that?
Thats not it, I was just thinking that if I had a more muscular body I would be able to do a lot more
Nick sighed.
I think youre very skillful. Look at me, Im tall but that doesnt make me strong.
If anything, if you take damage or go down as the vanguard, were all in trouble.
I didnt give a lot of thought about this job when we took it. If you werent here, we wouldnt have a map of the labyrinth and we wouldnt know so much about the enemies So seriously, we dont want you to put yourself out there too much.
Karan is right.
Nick was the cornerstone of this party.
Everyone knew that their success depended on Nicks guidance, both in the labyrinths, and when they were accepting quests.
N-No Im sure you could find another scout of my level And my information isnt perfect either, there should only be one bronze golem here, but two appeared.
It cant be helped, no one can know for sure how many monsters appear.
And normal scouts cant hold their own one on one against an ogre. And
Hn? What?
Nick looked at Karan, and she hesitated to finish her thought.
For some reason, she felt too embarrassed to tell Nick to his face that hes not the kind of person that just lets other people take care of everything.
No, nothing.
Cmon, what?
I said its nothing.
Karan looked away and drank the rest of the water.
Yes yes, stop playing and get moving.
Y-yes.
Tianna urged them to continue their exploration and Nick got up, even though a question mark still hovered above his head.
Anyway, lets finish our job.
