Divine Protection of Many Gods

Chapter 64

Chapter 64

“I am the butler left to manage this mansion . ”

“Likewise I am the housemaid . ”

This place seems to have the setting called the Deceased Aristocrat’s Mansion .

The vindictive spirit of a noble who had died a regretful death came out to wander every night, it was that sort of setting .

“The town mayor was on a friendly terms with the noble during his lifetime, he was grieved in the heart about the strangeness in this mansion . ”

I stood dazed in the interior of the spacious room .

“U, u, gaa~~”

Suddenly, the housemaid attacked me .

The knife which was aggressive unlike the knives for household use was gripped in the maid’s hand .

“Yo~, to . ”

I quickly evaded it and it was blown off by my sheathed sword . All the same, it was unpleasant to make a bloody entrance .

“Hey, hey, are you ok!?”

“Th-this!? The hell!?”

Sai approached me while worried . I informed him that I was safe, and asked for help to tie up the maid .

Though the butler acted surprised, it was transparent .

This fellow also had a knife in his breast pocket .

Why do I know such a thing?

That is, when I entered the mansion the first time, I frisked the doll .

In truth, I was going to take away the knife, but it was fixed with non-destructive magic so it was impossible .

Therefore, I expected to some degree of being attack by the housemaid .

It was correct to also do a full pat-down on the maid-san .

She was the owner of a considerable threat (bust) .

“Haha, a most wondrous manner, to beest truly suffering as a sir . ”

“Don’t you want to confirm the feeling? Do you also often touch the body of Ruby?”

“Master?”

I advanced ahead while not being discouraged by the cold eyes from the women camp .

The butler who regained his composure with surprising swiftness guided us .

“The town mayor should have came here . However, it is locked and it is not possible to enter inside . The mayor had the key and he has been inside . ”

I ignored the butler’s drawn-out trivial explanation on the setting, I prepared the indicated keys which were the [Important Items] which I collected in the town one by one .

The door made a *click* sound and opened when I turned the third indicated key around .

“Incidentally, it has been heard that there is a spare key in the town . However, I don’t know where it is . ”

The butler still continued to speak his speech because he was in the middle of his explanation .

We proceeded beyond the door without caring about it .

“Zir, there might be a device that begins to move, please search the mansion again . ”

“Yea, as was expected the dolls has’t begun to move . Thither art goblins in the room with the may’r . The way they hadst came out wast from the adjoining waiting room . ”

When the room was opened, a large quantity of goblins would attack me . A standard trap .

“The [Guardian] tis beyond that room . This, is’t a Minotaur?”

For the time being, I went to the room where the mayor was .

I heard a voice and it seems that the butler was still besides the door .

“It is here . ”

“Yea, thither shall beest swarms of goblins . ”

The goblins who were inside all looked towards us at once when I opened the door .

Despite them being goblins, I will not finish unhurt if I’m attacked by this number .

However…

“Well done . Is the work progressing?”

I called out to the goblins inside frankly .

“Gigi, gugi!”

The goblin who was slightly bigger than other guys approached . I confirmed the work progress from him . It seems to be a little bit more .

I have already met them once .

When I entered the mansion illegally, I found a hidden door when I checked this room carefully .

I had a ghost probe the inside of the door because that was the residence space of the goblins, that being the case I cooperated with Ruby and added all the members as subordinates .

There were 36 goblins in total, they were commanded to safeguard the room and they seemed to have been kept living in the adjoining residence space .

They might have been disgusted with such a life, they had easily acknowledged to become subordinates .

Therefore, I made them prepare to move before I left the mansion .

Amy, from the rear, had a slightly bad complexion . It might be because of the trauma caused by goblins .

She still reacts to strange goblins . (EN: as in strangers)

By the way, if it was the goblins in the village, I was familiar enough with them that I could distinguish them by face .

Particularly, the 3 goblin artists, I treated them as ceramic art apprentices .

The things which all goblins are good at seemed to be different .

“Pl-please help me!! I’m being surrounded by goblins!!”

From the depths of the room, I heard the mayor’s voice .

Perhaps, when the door was opened and the state of the mansion had activated the event might have been generated .

The mayor’s impassioned performance resounded silently in vain .

I ignored the mayor and met the end condition of this room .

The condition was [The goblins are gone from the mayor’s view] so I blind-folded the town mayor quietly .

I had the goblins here teach me this .

Then…

“Thanks, I’ve been saved . ”

Apparently, it seems that I was able to fulfill the end condition well . The stairs appeared near the mayor .

“The hell, what are you?”

Sai had a face that showed he had seen an unbelievable thing here .

“I’m just a ordinary adventurer . ”

I moved the blindfolded doll uncle, that kept saying thanks with pleasure, and with everyone went down the stairs which had appeared .

Incidentally, the butler did not attack me .

Maybe the scenario which he attacked me was at the time when the first door was opened with the key .

When I went down the stairs, I arrived at a open space with barred rock surfaces .

I recognized again that this here was a labyrinth .

In the depths of the open space, when I confirmed the Minotaur’s status who was the lower layer [Guardian]…

Minotaur Lv . 40

Skill

【Self-regeneration】 ★★★

The damage to the body and the decreased health was recovered .

【Guardian】

Able to give protection to a target . In addition, it can grasp the target’s state .

Present target → Hidden Stairs

The upper limit of the target that can be protected depends on the level .

It showed itself here, the strongest enemy had appeared .

Lv . 40 was the same as Evin, but the minotaur should probably stress physical attacks .

It would recover even if it received a little damage because of its skill .

Is the skill 【Guardian】 a required skill of a boss monster?

Because it was possible to confirm it with the status, that there were hidden stairs was leaked .

Apparently, it doesn’t seem to attack us immediately even if we just came down the stairs .

Because it was just right, I began a strategy meeting with the new goblin companions .

I got ready and approached the Minotaur .

“Vumoooooo~~”

The Minotaur plunged in full of motivation . It lifted the huge battle axe in its hands easily and aimed towards me .

About your determination, I am sorry, but this wasn’t the place to honestly confront that fellow .

I issue instructions to the labyrinth goblins at once .

“Large crossbow corps, ready!!”

It was a [Weapon] used to attack in sieges the so called ballista .

Already, the 10 handheld personal weapons that boasted of offensive power were arranged in a line . (EN: so these are probably scorpions which are portable ballistae)

“Target, frontward minotaur . Odd corps, release!!”

Five long, large arrows were shot by my command .

“Guumoooo~”

The big body, approximately 3m in stature, caught the arrows and was blown off backwards .

The arrows, that were around 1m and similar to a spear, pierced deeply into the minotaur’s whole body .

One arrow was sticking out through the pierced right eye, and the arrow was unhesitantly pulled out .

The wound where it was extracted from emitted smoke and was closed like crazy .

By the way, this ballista . It was something that was produced in the goblins’ village .

Originally, I let them make it to defend the village, but because of the good workmanship I was going to try to sell it in town .

However, once I noticed the size of the goblins I gave up on selling it and had Ruby store it, so it’s somewhat useful for this maze capture .

“Odd corps, reload!! Even corps, ready to fire!! Release!!”

The second relay was shot and the minotaur’s posture was destroyed .

“Vururuuu . ”

When 10 shots had been fired, the regeneration speed of the minotaur declined .

At the beginning, the lost body parts were regenerated instantly, but now the restoration is a mere shadow of its former self .

It was already pierced throughout its body and it didn’t have any energy to pull the arrows out either, it collapsed and stopped moving .

Apparently, 【Self-regeneration】 seemed to cure health and wounds by using MP .

Now, Minotaur’s magical power was nearly empty .

Probably the health that remained will run out if it received one more attack .

I urged it to become a subordinate in that state . It appeared absurd, but the minotaurs were a tribe that followed strong individuals .

If it was defeated with any method, it will follow the victor . However, it was extremely difficult to weaken it here without killing the minotaur .

Sai couldn’t believe that such a minotaur was knocked down by goblins even though they had such numbers .

The goblins in the rear also seemed to be excited because they were able to overcome the minotaur .

Originally, these goblins seemed to have settled down in the upper layer, but the orcs, which were their natural enemy and also their rival, appeared there and defeated them in a struggle for existence .

Then, they found Selva the master of the labyrinth, they seemed to have kept protecting the mayor’s room in the lower layer .

Because those guys, who didn’t have confidence, could knock down a minotaur, who was at a higher rank, with their own strength, it was impossible for them not to be happy .

The open space was filled with the merry noise of excited goblins .

“Vimo~~”

The minotaur let out one feeble cry and lowered its head . With this, the war potential considerably increased .

Especially, my being able to use 【Self-regeneration】 was huge .

From what I saw from the minotaur’s wound recovery, it was almost immortal if a steady supply of MP was received .

There were also gains in the labyrinth itself, Yakuu’s elder brother was also firmly found, it was a quite significant expedition .

I can leave the labyrinth in an instant if I climbed the hidden stairs which emerged after defeating the minotaur .

The exit of the stairs were connected one way to the entrance of the labyrinth .

In the olden days, it seemed to be so by the story of the adventurer who had cleared the labyrinth before . Well, the person in question seemed to have died already .

When I looked around the surroundings while thinking such a thing for some reason or another, I found that there was one door standing alone in the barred rock surface .
