41 – I won’t be able to shake her off with the excuse of making money (2)

“Something doesn’t seem so strange.”

It seems like it’s been tens of minutes since I’ve been walking around the first floor, but I can’t even find a proper golem.

Even if you endlessly walk through the hallways, it’s just an empty vacant lot.

I kept scratching my head at the sense of incongruity and looked around here and there.

My heart was impatient, and I was feeling more pressure because I had no way of knowing time.

“Damn it… If Ellie wakes up before then-“

The house must be a mess.

I kept thinking about Shani’s eyes that caught me as I was about to leave, so my steps got faster.

Shouldn’t you at least be given a chance to make an excuse if you hurry up and grab something and get out of here?

Tak, Tack, Tack, the boot hit the stone floor and pushed me forward, until something kicked me.

With a bang, my body rolled onto the hard floor.

“Ah, damn it… nothing’s going on.”

Thinking about what the hell was kicking, I turned my eyes and there was an iron club.

“Uh… what is this?”

After seeing it, I approached it and held it with my hand to listen to it, but it didn’t budge more than I thought.

“Aww… Why is this thing here?”

If he handles such a heavy weapon, he must be a strong person. Before that, what was the point of having a weapon like this here?

I raised my head and looked in the direction where the weapon fell, and there was a place where a mysterious light was shining.

As I moved my feet deeper, the stone wall behind me began to rise from the floor with a creepy sound.

The heavy iron club rattled up the stone door, got caught in the gap, and rattled for a while…

Uzijik.

It collapsed with a sound.

Even if I touched the wall with a chin, chin, I couldn’t dare to say that it had moved just a moment ago. The cold and hard wall made me feel uneasy for a while.

A huge boulder was moving.

It was huge and majestic, and it was showing heavy movements, and it continued to hit something while scattering fresh blood.

Crackle, crackle, and ominous sounds filled the clearing.

I could easily see that it was a bad sign.

My body was calling out to me.

‘Run away.’

The back is blocked. It was a fact that I found out without difficulty, as I was stepping back before I knew it, and at the same time, it was also something that brought me great despair.

Where is the exit?

The feeling of the rough air scraping through my lungs was unpleasant.

The handle of the warpic that I took out before I knew it was sweaty and the feeling was unpleasant.

Little by little, I mustered up my courage and stepped forward, forward, and the terrible sight was a little clearer to my eyes.

was being crushed

Whether it was a human or a human being – no matter what creature it was, the obvious fact was that it was turning into a clot of blood.

The golem of enormous size – roughly three times bigger than me – heard the sound and shock whenever it swung its arms beyond imagination.

The fear, regret, and resentment slowly rising from it didn’t seem like something I could easily endure.

If someone had given me an order, if Ellie had grabbed me at this moment and asked me to believe in herself,

No matter what was in front of me, it would have been easier if I had followed her words.

chin.

Something lukewarm holding my ankle couldn’t be so creepy.

I turned my head little by little and tried to check something under my feet – soon the collar of my upper body was grabbed and dragged to the floor.

It was a person in front of my eyes. It was covered in blood, but it was definitely someone who was staring at me with one eye open.

“…quiet.”

Kek, kek, the person spitting out a little blood while pointing at the golem.

“Several of my comrades have already… suffered. I hadn’t heard of such… being here…”

As I stared at his miserable face still frozen, he continued to speak with difficulty.

“You too… must be someone who used to work on the first floor…? Judging by your appearance…”

I hurriedly glanced at him who pointed out his whereabouts, and he was also lightly armed – no weapon in sight.

Could it be that he is the owner of that iron club?

“My sword is already broken in two… Originally, it was on the way to the third floor, but what – keuh… I don’t know what happened, but I ran into that huge guy.”

Looking at it now, he was clearly holding the handle of a broken sword in his hand.

The sight of blood dripping from his arm was so frightening.

I inadvertently trembled, and he opened his mouth again and dragged me into bed next to him.

“If possible… Hide your presence. If they find out we’re gone, the guild or the guards will send someone… Hold your breath, and don’t ever think about attacking him.”

Finally, he leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes.

I, too, tried to avert my eyes while keeping my body as close to the floor as possible.

The terrible sound of flesh being crushed was still clearly audible.

***

“Where did you hide him? Tell me, tell me right now, you trash-“

Boo-wook, and the clothes she was holding were torn to shreds.

The poor cat could only answer her madness by curling up and howling.

“So I told you! You went to the dungeon by yourself, to make money! You told me that while you were holding me, I lost so much money that I was going to make up for it!”

“There’s no way he would leave me in such a dangerous place, no… He promised he wouldn’t leave my side, he promised, he promised, why… I can’t help but believe you’re lying, where – “

The rabbit was pouring out all of his resentment toward the cat, who was already covering his head in the corner and sobbing that he didn’t know, with his white hair scattered and his eyes wide open. Suddenly, the rabbit noticed something.

“Smell… smell…”

Holding it, which had already been completely tattered as the object of her anger, and sniffing it for a long time, she soon approached the doorknob as if possessed.

It was Shani who caught her.

“Don’t let this go?!”

She was a cat that was very intimidated by her screaming, but she was the type to talk –

“At least take what’s in the warehouse and go, are you going to die in a dangerous place?”

Bravely grabbing the collar and glaring at the rabbit who yelled at me, she raised her voice, pointing her finger at the second floor.

“The owner also went out there with his armor and weapons. And…”

Her blushing face and trembling hands showed how frightened she was, but also how seriously she felt the situation.

After talking, she slowly started to go up to the second floor.

Ellie followed her with only her eyes, then started following her closely.

After opening the warehouse on the second floor, she sighed deeply when she saw the ruined warehouse.

He took out the dagger, bow, and arrows stuck in the corner and threw the leather armor to Ellie.

“Ah, is there anything else worth writing about…”

Leaving behind the cat that had been rummaging through the extension warehouse, she took out a warpick that had been quietly sitting in the corner.

“Huh? Wasn’t that sure there was only one sack?”

A warpic bought from the same place and of the same kind as her owner.

Until now, she always fought in front, but she would draw scenes fighting together from the side.

So, at the expense of a little extra, I bought a bag.

I still can’t forget the thrill of that moment when I knew it was wrong.

But now, the owner ‘abandoned’ himself and went to the dungeon alone.

could not forgive

Until now, I had a vague belief that I really would not leave myself behind.

Don’t leave, if you obediently keep quiet by his side, he knows he’ll take care of himself.

It was a betrayal.

He deceived himself with a piece of cloth that smelled like him and ran away.

I was so embarrassed by that fact, and it made me mad.

Besides, at least he should have given himself a word if he was going.

at any rate.

The one who saw the back before leaving the house was not himself, but that hateful b*tch b*tch,

It was unbearably resentful, and madly angry, but –

I breathed slowly and cooled my head.

He wanted to search the dungeon right now, but walking around alone smelling the fabric was obviously dangerous.

Angry, gritted teeth, but –

Because earlier, it was she who caught me when I almost lost my temper in the hallway.

I believed that he would surely be the one who would dry himself sufficiently in a dangerous situation.

So give her a bow and arrow and a dagger.

And for some reason, he gave her the leather gloves he didn’t pack…

No, he let himself use it, and handed it to her.

She accepted and listened to them with a surprised expression, but soon, as if she noticed something, she began to pack them hastily.

After putting on the gloves, I tightened the straps attached to the leather armor and put it on to fit my body.

After catching my breath by stretching my wrists, I kicked out the front door.

It was right that the companion who ran away came directly.

and,

He will never get out of the den again.

Even if he was hated, he couldn’t miss him.

…he deserved the price he had to pay for betraying all his beliefs.
