Chapter 066
"Damn, it's hard!"
"What am I supposed to do with this!"
A party of explorers is fighting, but it looks like they're in a bad situation. The party is made up of a one-handed sword user and a one-handed swordman with a buckler. Two spear user and one dagger user, making for a party of five.
There's a big backpack nearby, so one of them must be carrying the bags. They're a group of men who all look to be in their twenties or thirties.
They're attacking bravely, but their sword slashes only scrape the surface, and their spear thrusts only slight pierce to the tip. The dagger user circles around and slashes, but it doesn't seem like he's doing any damage.
"Damn, you bastard!"
"Hey, you idiot, have you lost your mind!"
The man wielding the one-handed sword raised his sword high and slammed it down with all his might. Although the attack hit the abdomen, the blow with all his might only caused a scratch on the surface.
"Ugh, damn it!"
"It would be one thing if you had aimed for the joints, but there's no way such a reckless attack will get through!"
The price of the thoughtless blow was heavy. The man's sword broke in two, and the remaining blade was only as long as a short sword.
"As I thought, we can't take on a golem without a blunt weapon. Let's retreat!"
"Tch, you're useless!"
The man with the buckler scolded the one-handed sword user. Who threw the remaining handle at the golem. There was no way such an attack would work on the golem, and the handle fell to the ground.
"Hey, let's get out of here quickly. Don't forget the backpack!"
"Wait a second!"
Golems are slow, so there is almost no risk of flooding if they run away. So the decision to retreat if you can't win wasn't a bad one.
However, that was only if you could retreat quickly. The scout-like man who was using the short sword hurriedly ran over to his backpack and put it on. However, perhaps because he was in a hurry, he couldn't put it on properly.
"What are you doing? Don't be slow. The golem is coming!"
"Wait, eh? Ahh!"
The golem isn't fast, but it's four meters tall, so it has a wide stride. So it approaches faster than it looks, and if you're not careful, you'll get hit with a powerful blow.
The golem, having caught the man with the short sword within striking distance, raised its right arm and was about to deliver a powerful blow. It would be one thing if it were the swordsman, but if the man who looks like a scout takes it, he definitely won’t get away unscathed.
"I can't bear to abandon him. I have no choice."
I kicked the foothold I'd made with [air walk] and jumped towards the golem. I spin in the air and kick the golem with force, slamming it into its torso.
"Akira!... Eh?"
The other spear user shouts the name (I think) of the dagger user who is in a desperate situation, but soon made a stupid face. It's no wonder, since the enemy was blown away the moment he thought his comrade would be killed.
And standing where the golem was a beautiful girl dressed in a shrine maiden outfit who shouldn't be in this place, the 17th floor of the dungeon. It would be strange if he could understand the situation instantly.
"It was a dangerous situation, so I had to intervene. I don't intend to steal your prey, but what should I do?"
"Ah, uh, thanks for saving us. We can't defeat it by ourselves. If you can defeat it, can you please defeat it?"
"Fumu, I understand. Then I'll take that prey."
Akira (temporary) came to his senses and gave his approval, so I decided to take the golem. The golem that was blown away rose to its feet, staring at me, and seemed to recognize me as an enemy.
The foxfire probably wouldn't work, and the iron fan's slashes probably wouldn't be very effective either. But I managed to blow it away with brute force, so I guess I won't lose.
