Chapter 170 – Return

#170.

A week has passed since I heard the information about the true enemy from Karut. In the meantime, I repeatedly enjoyed the harem life with everyone and stayed up all night in the heat.

Maybe that’s why my condition is at its peak right now. It’s probably to the point where I wonder if I won’t have anything to do with wet dreams for the rest of my life.

“Lai… Are you going today?”
“Huh. I just want to sneak in and come back.”

After running for a week, I finally came to the border between the Empire and the Kingdom. Soon you’ll reach the river that runs between the two. It’s evening when the sun goes down, so I guess I’ll just have to wait and sneak out.

Consoling Eris and everyone who was sullen, I massaged her ass once and then fell.

“Then, Princess. Please do not allow anyone access to the barracks.”
“Don’t worry. If you have my order, you won’t mindlessly visit the barracks.”

I don’t know how much time I’ll waste in the ancient ruins, but it won’t take too long. I decided to go for a while at dawn when everyone was asleep.

And time passed, and after dinner, we chatted briefly and then dispersed to our respective barracks. Even if I say each one, the lovers are all in one barracks, and I am the only one falling alone.

“Whoa.. What kind of memories are you trying to recover this time..”

I was also looking forward to the skill, but after hearing Karut’s story, I was more curious about what really happened.

Apocalypse. Death and life. Imperishability. Short words float above your head. I tried to somehow continue the story by combining unconnected words, but the missing information caused cracks here and there.

“Let’s get stronger for now.”

I don’t know what’s going on, but the Guardian Goddess protects her from the influence of other gods, so her first priority is to become strong as she said. I’ve been saying that I don’t have time myself, so now it’s time to really hurry.

I immediately sat down on my bed and went into contemplation. Concentrate on the movement of the aura and swing it around with the mana rod of the whole body. It was damaged by fast movement and at the same time it was regenerated harder.

After gaining immortality, he was not afraid of damaging his mana rod and used his aura roughly, developing veins that had not yet been pioneered.

Of course, every time that happened, I felt the pain of small needles going around my blood vessels and cutting them, but I could tolerate it as my tolerance for it was developed enough.

Is it because I was too focused on reclaiming the Mana Road? When he suddenly came to his senses, his son-in-law was already completely covered in darkness.

“I have to go quickly.”

Taking advantage of the silence of the night when everyone was asleep, I sneaked out of the barracks, looked at the map, and quickly kicked the ground towards the canyon.

Thanks to fairy tales, it shoots out and moves from tree to tree without leaving any sign or trace. There was a wide cliff in the middle, but by using the characteristics of space leap, he moved as if he was walking in the air and set foot on the opposite mountain range.

These ancient ruins, nestled between canyons, had not yet been excavated and thus the danger had not been eliminated. No one knows what might be inside.

“Is it here?”

─Quaaaaa!

Seeing the stream of water gnawing at the surrounding earthen walls at high speed reminded me of old memories.

The condition of the river was so rough even when he jumped off a cliff the day he first had a relationship with Arisha. I was really scared at the time, but now I don’t feel much.

“Could this be resistant?”

At that time, while committing suicide once, it seems that he developed resistance thanks to the Myung Kyung Ji Soo. I looked at the map again and found the entrance to the ancient ruins.

As a result of checking with the map, the entrance was currently submerged. It seems to be because it rained a few days ago and the water rose.

“Ah… That’s annoying.”

After thinking about what to do, I went down the canyon. Stepping on the stepping stones protruding here and there with light movements, I reached the top of the entrance.

Chow-!

The water splashed everywhere and started soaking my clothes. Immediately after wrapping the sword around the body in the form of a protective film, I thought about it quietly.

“It’s a bit like going into a dive, but…”

It’s not just that your clothes get wet, but there’s a really slim chance that you’ll die. There is no more ridiculous death than dying here.

“I’ll have to check the inside first.”

I went to the entrance with a lot of trouble, but when I was there, it seemed like I would be really upset if the soil collapsed and was blocked, so I opened the mana sensor and scanned the bottom of the water.

The entrance is said to be a U-shaped structure that goes down and then goes up, so even if the river swells, it is unlikely that it was flooded.

But..

“Oh fuck. Are you really stuck?”

That is, the entrance is tightly closed without the slightest gap. At this level, not a single ant can pass.

In the end, I was heartbroken that I had to go back, and I continued to expand my mana sensor while thinking of the last method.

Gradually grasping the internal structure, I was delighted to find out that only halfway was blocked, and that the real entrance was intact.

“Good. I can go.”

Is the passage to the middle blocked? Then you just have to go somewhere other than the aisle. Like digging the ground.

Of course I didn’t have to.

“Suck!”

Immediately after activating the new sword union, I used the space jump to step into the entrance identified by mana detection.

Susut-

As the body pierced through the space and protruded to the other side, I could see the deep darkness.

─Ah!

When I flicked my finger once and rubbed the auror to make a fire, I could see a fairly wide cave and a door with a unique magic circle engraved on it.

“It was good.”

I moved to the place I wanted without an error with what I thought. As expected, learning how to find spatial coordinates while studying magic was a good thing.

At the time, it was just to get Tina’s favor, but it’s a little comforting that it wasn’t in vain.

“After! Shall we go!”

My heart started beating fast as I thought that I would soon be able to reap the fruits of my journey here.

As I slowly moved forward, thinking about the worst, not the worst, I saw a large shadow in the distance. It had all its limbs, but it never felt like a human.

It’s like a rock without a sense of life…

“Golem?”

It reminded me of the magic creature I had seen in many books. I never thought I’d see what was said to be a forgotten legacy that only existed in ancient times.

“If you bring it to Sernia and Tina, they’ll be happy.”

The first thing that came to mind was the way lovers would be happy. Before I knew it, I became a pathetic wife. Still, when I thought of the two of them being happy, I smiled.

The moment I was immersed in worrying about whether it would fit in the inventory because the size is only about 5m tall.

That drama..

At the same time as the sound of something scratching the ground, the sixth sense rang a loud alarm. As she looked up, the golem glowed blue in her eyeballs.

[This..]

This?

[The end of the human era has arrived.]

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

He wondered if we could have a conversation, but seeing what he said, he couldn’t be the one to talk to.

I’m going to have to kill all these fucking omnics.

“Suck!”

Using the sword he was holding in his hand, he stabbed one point straight away. The understanding of death skill was also activated, so I could clearly see his death as well.

He’s moving around in real time, but his movement is quite slow, and he’s stabbed like tofu at once.

─Pu-wook!

[Geek.. Gigigeek.. Gigeek..]

While stabbing it, the rock was cut and fell out in a round circle as if cutting out the skin of an apple. Through the hole, I could see a mana stone with a knife mark in the middle.

“Um… Is it a bit of a waste?”

[I… I, I… I’m coming back…]

A mana stone of this size would have been quite expensive, so as I was stroking my chin while expressing regret, the golem raised its thumb and said that, and soon lay down on the ground.

“I’m not going to be quiet… How dare you golem.”

A tool only needs to function as a tool. How dare you dare to fight against me with willpower? As expected, there were many people like this in the canyon, whether on Earth or in this world.

After looking at the shattered mana stone for a while, I immediately put the golem in my inventory.

The hole was small enough for a person’s head to fit through, but when he took the golem, it opened its mouth wide and bit off the tip.

Just as a snake crushes prey thicker than its body, it begins to swallow it with its black mouth, as if the thick darkness is encroaching little by little.

The inventory, which was swallowing the golem in its stomach at a speed that was not too slow, swallowed it within a minute and disappeared.

“As expected.. There is still a lot of space left inside.”

Over the years I’ve been using it, I’ve never reached the limit of my inventory, so I nodded my head in satisfaction and hurried to the depths of the ruins.

I had to go before sunrise, so I couldn’t waste my time.

Since then, I have met several golems. The first few times, he broke the mana stones and suppressed them, but it was too wasteful, so he suppressed them by cutting off the magic circuits one by one.

There were facts that I learned along the way.

That’s right…

“Oh what. Doesn’t it give you karma even if you catch these bastards?”

It was the fact that karma existed even for golems that were not living beings.

According to Tina’s theory, karma is unique information recorded in the world. It doesn’t exist for those who are just tools made by someone.

Could it be that the flow of time gave them a different will? They were too weak to be tools for killing people.

How can a guy who can easily fall out even to me, who is only 7 stars, end the human world?

“It’s worth the hard work.”

The bodies of the golems couldn’t be simple rocks either, so they’re probably expensive mixed with rare metals, and there’s even a mana stone, so you won’t have to worry about money for the time being.

She can ask Arisha to change things, or she said that Nia runs her company, so she can trade through that side, no problem.

Heehee and light steps as he collected the golems, he felt the aisle gradually widen.

“Is it over now?”

Since the aisle can’t just be widened, it means that there is something in front of it that needs such space. And, in all probability, there was a good chance that both the reward and the risk existed at the same time.

Indeed, as soon as I stepped into the wide passage, I saw a huge golem that seemed to be 10m tall.

The moment you put that huge body in your eyes, your eyes flashed.

Beep-

[There is only one road to peace, the extinction of mankind.]

“What is he saying now. This kid.”

Immediately, using the understanding of death skill, he used the movement of magic connected to the mana stone to grasp the magic circuit and cut off all of them.

The blade that jumped out of space cut all the places that could be called its vital points.

Sudden! Chew! Cheak-

[The extinction of humanity.. Yee.. Yi..]

─Koo Goong!

The guy tried to say something more, but he couldn’t finish it and lay down on the floor. Because he was so big and heavy, the floor immediately collapsed and dust rose.

They stretched out their yellow hands toward me to violate my windpipe. Seeing his furrowed eyes, he immediately waved his palm.

“Ah… Fine dust.”

Paaang!

The dust was blown away in one corner by the tremendous wind pressure caused by the violently strong force.

Go straight ahead and dig out the golem’s mana stone, revealing a mana stone five times larger than the other golems.

“And. That would be damn expensive.”

In fact, when he received the money from Sernia, he secretly felt his pride hurt. It felt like he had become a pillar West, so he was a little worried, but now he doesn’t seem to have to open his hands.

I took the mana stone first, dragged the golem, and brought it to the inventory, swallowing it little by little from the tip of my toe.

“Whoa.. Then let’s go now.”

Looking down the aisle where the golem was standing, I murmured and hurriedly moved on. Time had already passed, so there was no time to delay.

As we went through the passage and went inside, a wide space was revealed again. Various tools needed for research were lined up inside, and there was a bed in the corner.

The magicians who lived in the ancient times seemed to be all lazy, so the preservation magic was meticulously applied, so they were clean without a speck of dust.

After thinking about what to pack for a while, I started to sweep everything except for the things I didn’t really need.

From various tools to the library and personal drawers. After stuffing everything I could think of into my inventory, I searched the room and left the living quarters.

“Then now… You’re going to work.”

The reason I came here is not simply to get my share of ancient artifacts, but to find a temporary dimension. Save points and soul fragments to be precise.

There was no sign at all on the outside, so I started slowly scanning the wide cavity first.

I put my hand on the wall and ran quickly. I wondered what this was doing, but as I approached, I looked at the surroundings with my mana sensor and used all my senses, but it was meaningless.

In the end, all I could count on was the status window, and to do that, I had to touch it myself.

So, I ran my hands from the inside to the entrance, and finally…

“No..?”

I was able to come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a temporary dimension.

“No. What? Why not?”

Could it be that only these ancient ruins do not have a temporary dimension? Actually, if you think about it, it didn’t make sense that all the ancient ruins would have a temporary dimension.

There is no way that only the ruins I made will remain intact. It could be an ancient ruin made by someone else who has nothing to do with me.

“Um… I’m going to have to go there sometime…”

To prove this theory, it would be a good idea to visit the ruins of the slime lover who acquired the sweet bodily fluid skill.

Of course, I plan to stop by other ancient ruins, but there is no better place to visit lightly.

“Hey.. That’s bullshit.”

Still, I think it would be good to be satisfied with the fact that I got a lot of spare money this time.

By the way, it sounds like I’ll have to go back to the imperial capital right away after hearing it only in Frencia. It’s most convenient for me to deliver the golem.

You can leave it to Arisha, but it’s too bulky and not efficient. It’s not an urgent matter anyway, so there’s no problem.

After arriving at the capital of the kingdom, Eris and the two of them just need to run quickly, so it can be found within a month.

“Eutcha! I have to go.”

It is already late in the morning. Since it was winter, there was quite a bit left until the sun came up, but there was no reason to be late, so I quickly ran to the barracks.

And fortunately…

“Oh? What is this! It’s a technical book!”

Arriving at the barracks, I was able to find a description book while examining the items I had swept away. As expected, I think I have a good chance of falling behind.

「Body quenching」

It was about using mana to increase the strength of the body itself through a special luck operation method.

This was my first thought when I saw it.

‘Does my cock also get harder?’
