Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Tomb of Bescaman I
The tomb of Bescaman II rises while the tomb of Bescaman I is underground.
"So there's a mummy at the end of this grave, hehe......"
Pyramids and mummies. He felt as if something was missing.
"Is there a Sphinx here?"
When Egypt is mentioned, three things often come to mind.
Pyramids, sphinxes and mummies!
He had seen the pyramids, and Granno (Granno) mentioned the mummy, so all that was left was the Sphinx.
"What is a Sphinx?"
Grano looked up.
"It has a human face, a lion's body,...... Well, that kind of thing ......"
Conou tries to explain what the Sphinx is, but Granno doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
"Is it a monster?"
"It's a 'monster' indeed, but..."
"As far as I know, there are no Sphinxes in the Bariton Desert," Granno said. ”
"Well, I don't think there is one. ”
There is no absolute rule that if there are pyramids and mummies, there must also be a sphinx.
"Anyway, what kind of monsters will appear in this dungeon?" asked Conou.
"There's only one kind of monster here," Granor said. ”
"What is it?"
"That. ”
Grano noted.
Cut.
He heard footsteps on them, and a few more times.
They were illuminated by the light reflected from the bronze mirror.
"Certus!" Conou shouted.
His eyes sparkled.
Beetles are about the size of a human face!
They are rare monsters that can occasionally be found in deserts or forests.
Conou has always wanted to meet them.
"Hey. ”
Cono smiled.
Their nickname is the Golden Bug!
They are beetles of the golden shell, and if defeated, they will drop gold.
A large group of Celtus appeared. At first glance, it looks like there are more than thirty.
"Come here, you pile of money!"
Conou couldn't control his excitement and rushed over.
"Man, I knew he would be like that. ”
Eder's expression seemed to say, "Of course that's what he's going to do." ”
"If you were obsessed with money when you were younger, they would say that you were bald when you were old......" Grano stared at Conou with a worried expression.
"He's so obsessed with money, I wouldn't be surprised if he goes bald tomorrow. Edel whispered, as if this was his only chance to insult Conou.
"I see. It would be interesting to see a bald-headed Mr. Conou," Granno exclaimed.
Regardless, Con'ou thrusts into the center of Celtus, wielding his magic sword.
"Hahahaha!" he laughed like a madman.
Seeing that, Granno and Ed shut up at the same time.
Cono swung downwards and pounced on Certus' shell.
Thump!
Whenever Celtus took damage, they released golden powder instead of shards.
As a result, Cono will feel a sting when attacking them.
Is this what it's like to swim in a golden pool?
"Man, look at the gold dust flying. ”
Cono smiled.
Plop pounce
Celtes have transparent wings under their golden shells. They flapped their wings and flew towards Conou.
They aimed at his head, chest and abdomen!
Conou tilted his head to one side, which allowed him to avoid Celtus' tackle and align Celtus with his hexical sword to his chest.
Eventually, he dodged Celtus' abdominal massage by turning his body to the side.
Cono successfully completed all these operations.
During that time, Ed and Grano joined the fight.
Once the battle begins, Ed casts the Cursed Lands.
Universal Developer!
Universal Developer!
He activated the ruined walls and the rusty sword curse one after another.
"Oh!"
Ed smashes an approaching Celtes with his shield.
His shield shone brightly.
Shield Strike!
Shield Bash increases the damage dealt by the shield and has a stun chance.
Thump.
Celtus began to fall to the ground.
Ed pushed forward, chasing after the Certus he had once flown over.
Big blow!
He slammed Certus into the shell with his mace.
Prosperity.
Due to its explosive effect, Certus flew even further.
The other Certus flew towards him.
Ed made them fly with shields, maces, and feet.
When he saw the gold dust, he also began to feel excited.
"Hahaha!" he burst into laughter.
Indeed, there is something about gold dust that will fascinate men.
Strike!
Four chyles were charged in Grano. The sound of them flapping their wings was hilarious.
Grano cast a spell and raised his free hand.
Water-cooled walls!
The water rose from the ground, forming a wall of water in front of him.
Be!
The Celtus hit their heads against the wall, but they didn't have enough strength to get through it.
Instead, their wings were wet and struggled pitifully.
Granno held out his hand.
Walls of water turned into waves and scattered everywhere.
Wow!
The tide completely swept the chyle.
No water is no cleanliness!
There's just one problem: the water also blows the gold dust out of the air.
The more time passed, the fewer Celtus numbered. Eventually, Conou's advance attack overpowered the last remaining Celtus.
"Hey. ”
Cono smiled.
He saw more than 30 corpses of Certus scattered around, as well as gold coins.
Conou usually asks Eder to pick up all the stolen goods, but this time it was different.
He bent down and began to pick up the gold himself.
"One, two, three..."
"They lost 10 gold. ”
Cono smiled. It felt like crossing the street and finding some money on the ground.
Then, Grano walked over and took three coins from his hand.
"Hu?"
"I get 30%. ”
Grano smiled implicitly.
"Hmm. Of course. ”
Conou decided to hide the rest of the gold in his chest.
However, Ed decided to come over and now has three golds in hand.
"I will pay for today in advance. ”
Ed smiled implicitly, too.
"Oops. ”
He needed to give him that money anyway, but it felt like Ed stole the money instead of him giving it to him freely.
"Now, let's keep hunting. Time is money!"
The only thing that can fill this hollowness is gold!
"Time is not money, bugs are money," Ed said.
"Yes, kill everything that will make money. ”
Conou opened his eyes.
After a while.
Crack!
Con'ou's demonic sword shattered the shell of another Certus.
Bang!
When Ed smashes his mace on Celtes' shell.
wow
Grano watered them with water.
Con'ou's team was unwilling to lose a single Celtus and therefore killed every Celtus in their sight.
Tomb of Bescarmen: I am complicated.
There are intersections and even three forks in the road. There are even forked roads that descend and ascend.
Grano knows where the boss is, so they don't have any difficulty finding the right path.
At least they shouldn't...
"This is the way. ”
Of the two paths (one up and one down), Granor chose the one downward.
"Let's go, then. ”
Cono points the opposite way.
Grano sighed and said, "Mr. Conou, I know how much you love chyle, but...... If we continue to go the wrong way, then even I can't find the right way. ”
"Just again!"
Cono clenched his hands.
That's right.
He wanted to take as many detours as possible in order to kill more of Sertus.
Therefore, he deliberately refused Granno's instructions and took a different path.
"Haha, that's good. This is the last time. This is indeed the last time. ”
Grano sighed deeply with a solemn expression.
"Good. ”
Conou smiled and continued on the path he had chosen.
Rumble.
Passage-sized boulders rolled behind them.
"Run!"
Conou, Eder, and Granor avoided the boulder and ran through the passage they had just passed.
"Hey, hey. I'm telling you it's not the right way!" Granno shouted as he ran.
"Ha, ha. Already...... It's too late. Ho, huh! you ...... Is there any way to get us out of the mess?"
Conou ran diligently.
The boulder starts on a slope, so it gets faster and faster.
This means that it is closing the distance between itself and Conou.
"Ah, I swear I'm unlucky!"
Ed, who was in charge of the front, switched places and ran behind the two men.
In other words, he will be the first to be crushed by a boulder.
Of course, Ed wasn't the only one. At this rate, Conou and Ed will also be squashed.
"Should I use the Devil's Trigger?"
If he uses a demon trigger, then he will gain various abilities related to darkness. If he had used the Abyss Shift, then he would have been able to avoid that boulder!
Plus, if he has the right timing, he can also summon Edel to safety.
The problem is Granno. He couldn't think of a way to save him.
At that moment, Granno stopped.
"Please hold on to my robes. ”
"Do you have a solution?"
"Hurry!"
Conou and Eder grab Granor's robes.
Granor finds a magic device from his subspace. It was a mirror engraved with a magic circle.
He held the mirror high and shouted, "Teleport!"
As soon as he said the key word, the mirror began to radiate light.
Leer
Conou's team was mirrored.
They were gone, and the mirror rolled to the floor.
Meanwhile!
The rats are coming!
The boulder passed past the place where Conou's team had been.
It proceeds all the way to the end of the passage and slams into the wall with a "thump" before stopping.
The passage was filled with silence and dust.
The mirror is still on the ground.
Even though it is broken, the magic circle and the broken shape merge into one and look like a smile.
As if smiling because it's done with its job!
Often, space magic is so complex that it's even hard to try.
So, it takes a lot of time and preparation.
If not, then this requires a huge magic circle like the Intercity Gate, and the people who maintain them.
However, teleportation is a form of space magic, but it does not have any of the above limitations.
In other words, it doesn't require much, if any, preparation, and it doesn't take a lot of time to cast.
It can even be activated instantly like a grano using a magic device.
However!
It has a big problem. People can't choose the end result.
In addition, it has a short range.
Thereby!
Conou, Grano, and Eder fall to the ground in an unknown passage, still inside the tomb of Bescammen I.
Thump!
"Ahh
Ed at the bottom froze. He has essentially become a human hamburger and is trying to get rid of it.
"Mr. Granno, please move!" shouted Conou in the middle.
"Ah, I'm sorry. ”
Grano finally grabbed his hand, grasped the situation, and stood up.
Next, Conor and Ed stood up and dusted off their bodies.
Conou looked around. Luckily, no boulders rolled in.
"pH, we're back to the beginning. ”
Grano sighed.
Teleporting is an excellent way to avoid danger, but the random locations it transfers to are just the beginning of the dungeon.
Conou just smiled.
"Hey, I guess there's nothing that can be done. We will continue on our way to killing Certus. ”
It seems that he also has a chance to kill more gold beetles or chyle.
"In exchange, you will follow my lead. I don't have any magical device anymore that can get us out of danger," Grano said, staring at Conou.
"If we were a little more careful......" Conou disagreed, asserting the opposite.
"Do what you want. If that's what you want, then I'm leaving. Grano said firmly.
"Mr. Grano, I'll be with you. ”
Edka is next to Granno.
"Hmm. Good, I understand. ”
Cono had no choice but to follow Granno.
After that, Conou's procession passed through the tomb of Bescarmen I at an astonishing speed.
Not once did Granor choose the wrong path. Also, there are no more boulders.
"We're here. ”
Grano paused.
There was a stone door closed on either side in front of them.
"We arrived really quickly. ”
Edel stared at Conou with a look in his eyes that said, "If not for you!".
Conou seemed to have been stabbed. He avoided Ed's gaze and asked, "Is the mummy inside?"
"Yes. ”
"Let's take a look at this mummy, shall we?
Conou strode forward and pushed open the stone door.
Squeak.
The stone gates began to open to the sides.
Conou opens the stone door and is met by a vast rectangular space.
Along the wall stood coffins, the mummies completely wrapped in stale bandages, leaving them dormant.
The mummy also holds a crescent-shaped scimitar.
"One, two, three, four... There were twenty-one," Ed counted.
"That's the boss, and the rest look like his minions. ”
Conou pointed to the coffin in front of him.
The twenty coffins are the same as the mummies inside.
However, the coffin to which Conou is referring is different. It is larger and more ornate than other coffins.
The mummies inside also look different.
First, it wears a white turban on its head, holds a red scimitar, and the flames burn.
"So it seems," Grano agreed.
"One boss mummy and twenty mummy minions, hehe......"
Cono smiled.
It's going to be an interesting fight.
"Mr. Grano, don't you know anything about this boss?" asked Conou.
"The mummy was most likely Bescamin I's guard. ”
"His guards?"
"Yes. During the time of the Bescarmen kingdom, when the king died, his guards were buried with him. ”
"It sucks. ”
This means that these innocent soldiers were buried alive!
Con Ou shook his head.
"That's true. Grano agreed.
Human sacrifice, human trafficking, human experimentation, and more. These are strictly prohibited by civil law.
