Chapter 7 - Yes, the uncomfortable feeling

Deep in the mountains, Dungeon Core is in a panic. To be precise, it's [Bo

e Co

e]。 For some reason, the man who broke into his [bone area]......

I just can't stop.

"Why? Why didn't he stop? What kind of intruder is this?"

A glittering blue gem floats in the deepest room of the dungeon, and only his half-orc (necromancer) lieutenant is listening.

He could feel the intruder burrowing deeper at a faster pace

Nothing could stop him.

"I've tried the jet, but he's just standing inside!" It's the same with poison gas! Th

OGG and his carnal horror are defeated in seconds! Faster Skeletons are welcome!"

If he had fingers, he would have bit them bloody. Unfortunately, all the Earth's core can do is change color, from red to blue to red, and vibrate.

and cheers.

"Go! The rest, go! Get ready for the abominable bones! And the Super Death Pit! Get ready to activate it! He's almost there! How could he be so fast? Let's go! Move!"

His goblins finally got moving, running to manipulate the intricate system of levers and pulleys that control the dungeon's many traps. The core spun in place, glaring at each subordinate in turn, his panic growing as he felt the intruder getting closer.

But most importantly, his position is meaningless.

The dungeon invasion is underway:

Invader: 1 // Average Level: 6

That's just a sixth-level intruder.

He himself is level 19 [bone core], and the carnal horror is at least level 15. "What a ridiculously broken class?" Please tell me this is not a hero. ”

"Sir." One of the orcs raised a hand and said hesitantly.

The core rotated, aiming a bright red light at his face. "What's the matter?"

The goblin swallowed. "(The hero) left the field 6 months ago – there shouldn't be another."

The core focuses the bright light into a flaming red laser, burning a hole in the elf's head. It fell to the ground and died.

"You fool, do you think I don't know?"

The core began to roar again almost immediately, but he stopped—the intruder was there. He turned, and the red light flashed rapidly. "Now! Start the Super Death Pit now! He's right there!"

A goblin pulls the lever, and the floor of the hallway falls, and the core of the dungeon feels different, revealing a 40-meter-high drop that goes straight into the lair of the giant bone statue.

He felt the uninvited guest fall and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least with this

Then the intruder suddenly stopped in mid-air, 30 meters from the bottom, and moved significantly slower.

The core screamed. "Levitation magic, too?"

No. The intruder began to fall again.

"Something happened - at that rate - they sure would be—"

The intruder approached the ground like a stone, the core holding the light in place, red, without blinking, waiting for impact. Next is the horror bones, ready, this one can't go

Then the intruder suddenly turned, all the speed from vertical to horizontal in a smooth rotation, hitting the terrifying bone directly, shattering it in an instant.

No... What? What is that? A [double jump] and becomes the forward slash? No—it's all wrong—"

He paused. The enemy is still moving - right here. There was only a short corridor between the bottom of the pit and the house.

He looked at the trembling servants, and his heart was dark. So it got to this point......

The Earth's core grabbed the various chains of life that emanated from it, then tore them all apart. The orc screamed in horror and vanished, dissolving into a pit of blood. The light flickered rapidly, and the core pushed all remaining life energy into the ground, a real last-ditch effort.

Summon a Guardian.

"Get up! Big Stone Man!"

A bulky, round stone rises from the floor like a giant turtle, and then several legs emerge from it, and it staggers to its feet. It loomed in one place, a real mountain breaking free from the ground.

"Go! Kill this uninvited guest now!"

The golem took a step forward, but just then, the intruder entered, and the door to the vault was blown open.

The flash of the core stopped at the man who had walked to the center of the room, and stopped there.

One...... Stone?

"Go! Kill it! He said, using all the strength of his body to force the puppet to move as quickly as possible.

But the puppet ...... It stepped forward and gestured to the stone.

The core begins to lose its mind. "What are you doing...... Don't duel it!"

- - - - - -

Duel.

The rock immediately sensed the Golem's intentions, a blood relationship. The presence of stones.

A glorious duel full of pain.

Because isn't honor a rock-solid feeling?

Rocks have given rise to many new insights into the world. But it accepted the duel, shuffled forward, and bowed politely.

A strange thing flickered wildly behind it, but the rock didn't care about it. It's a hard-hearted duel.

For a stone duel, only one match is important.

Earth Puppet ...... Not destroyed. The stone watched in disbelief, only the part it flew over fell off, and the rest of the golems filled in the gap. The principles of operation of this enemy differ from that of previous enemies. This is......

A real enemy.

Both duelists have returned from their first joust and feel that the new injury will be a scar of honor. Now a large crack has appeared in the rock, the golem has lost a lot of mass, and a large pile of things is slowly dripping from it.

That's the difference between them.

The rocks are either intact or completely destroyed. Its nature does not allow to lose a little quality. At the same time, the puppet did not collect any cracks, but as a trade-off, it lost some fragments.

A solid core, or a moving landslide.

Who will win?

They all paid no attention to the annoying flickering lights in the background. Never mind. It's a matter between the stone brothers—none of the carbon gems can interfere.

It's time for the second joust – the players are attacking each other again.

Severe wound - the rock felt a crack almost pass through it, splitting it in half. But it persevered.

It has not lost its quality. The Golem...... It's worn out even more. Hopeless. Half of its mass is gone, but it still stands up resolutely, determined to solidify its shell.

The rock moved a little and saluted him. It's the best battle it's ever fought in.

When the two were preparing for their third and final jousting competition, suddenly

The nasty glittering thing erupted suddenly, and the wait was over, and a molten beam of heat shot out from its center and shot straight at the rock. It's not prepared to dodge, and it's low health, and it can-

Suddenly, the puppet moved, blocking the beam with its own body with the force of the landslide.

The rock stares at the hero's sacrifice in amazement like a statue or a rock. A true warrior who would rather die than give in.

The glittering thing screamed in rage, and the golem fell, melting into dirt and rocks and falling to the ground.

A burning flame ignites in the soul of the rock. It targets the hateful saboteurs of holy combat, unleashing all the energy in its body.

An absolutely fatal blow without mercy. It flew to the heart of the dungeon, and then

It doesn't stand a chance at all.

The damage is inconsequential, and once it encounters a relentless physical force, the core cracks, falls apart, and shatters into glittering pieces. Here comes a new notice.

Like rocks

Activate camouflage yourself to make others think you're just a rock.

The rock pays homage to its fallen opponent and celebrates that it has reached new heights. Life and death, at the same time.

A beautiful thing.

It appreciated the poetry for a moment, then turned away.

Then look up.

There are many, many stairs between it and the corridor above. The room was closed, a simple box, and the walls were covered with levels and ropes. But that stone......

- Suddenly realize how cold it is.

Storage temperature: 0 K

Current speed: 0 m/s

It has no energy, nothing to move.

You can't even roll around the room, to explore, to try to do something with a rope.

There are no mountains to roll down. There are no ramps. There is no gravitational domain.

Just a plane.

Stuck.

The rock recalls the glorious duel in which it ended its adventure......

And feel satisfied.

Maybe it's not that bad. It will remain here in memory of the fallen Golem.

A good ending.
