Chapter 21.3: Floating Veil (2)

I carried the glowstone I had brought and relied on the light to advance through the dark passage.

Huge stone statues stood on both sides of the old, wide hallway leading to a straight line, and Asher looked around at them with a slightly nervous look.

A dungeon was basically an artificial space created by ancient wizards.

There were traps, and there were guardians guarding them.

But I didn’t worry and kept walking.

Because obviously, even when I saw the play video, this dungeon was already broken, so there were no traps or guardians.

There was no danger until we could reach the innermost hidden place where the mystery of the floating veil was.

Soon after reaching the end of the hallway, a huge door appeared.

“Hmm.”

I stopped walking for a while.

It was because there was a huge stone statue, like the one hanging on both sides of the hallway blocking the doorway leading inward.

That’s no big deal either.

It was probably a stone statue that wouldn’t move anyway, so I moved on again.

It’s okay if Asher destroyed everything and went inside… Wait a minute.

【Lv. 85]

Why do I see the level of that guy?

There was a level above the statue’s head. I sensed something strange and stopped walking.

Suddenly, a blue light shone in the statue’s eyes, and he opened them and swung the spear he was holding.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!

“…!”

Goose bumps ran down my spine at the gigantic aura of blue light that passed right next to me.

Then, an inorganic voice flowed from the stone statue.

[I warn you. I will consider anyone who crosses that line an intruder. Those who don’t deserve to enter, please go back.]

…What was that?

Wasn’t this a dungeon without a guardian?

Confused, I looked down.

When I looked at it, I saw that the floor was dented and had a line-like mark. Were you going to attack me if I walked over this?

Another unexpected situation dumbfounded me, like the one I encountered with Bellevagorah.

I had come this far, but something happened like this again?

coo coo coo.

The expression of Asher next to me hardened, as if she sensed that the energy radiating from the stone statue was unusual.

Its level was much higher than Asher’s, so it was impossible for her to deal with it.

I thought to myself.

Does instant kill work on golems too?

That guardian was, at a glance, a magical golem made of magic

To put it bluntly, it was more like an inanimate creature than a living thing, so it was doubtful whether instant death would work.

But there was no other way. I had no choice but to try.

It’s still the one and only 10-star skill. Shouldn’t it also worked on golems?

I took out the arrow I had brought with me, scratched my palm, dipped it in blood, hung it on the string, and aimed at it.

***

Asher swallowed a gulp as she looked at the stone statue spewing out huge magical energy in front of her.

Could she win with all her might? She checked, but she wasn’t sure.

What was this dungeon-like space for? What was that monster?

Although she had great confidence in her abilities and was always regarded as a genius among her clan, she somehow constantly encountered opponents she could not handle when traveling with the Seventh Lord.

“…?”

She suddenly looked to the side.

It was because the Seventh lord was suddenly aiming at the golem with an arrow on a string.

Piiing!

When the Seventh Lord let go of the string, the flying arrow hit the body of the stone statue and bounced off helplessly.

As she was watching him blankly, he muttered, as if he was sorry.

“I tried to aim at the head, but I still lack a lot.”

…What the hell were you doing now?

When a question arises about an act that seemed to play a joke that did not go well with the situation.

The Seventh Lord opened his mouth again.

“Now get out of here, stone. Don’t block the road.”

…Coooooung!

The stone statue lost its balance and fell to the ground.

Seeing the scene, Asher’s eyes widened in astonishment.

The Seventh Lord put his bow on his back and said.

“Go inside.”

“…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Asher stared blankly at his back as he moved forward with light steps, then she moved her steps belatedly.
