Chapter 193 – Living Armor

“I’ll have to find it now.”

Long explanations are unnecessary, it seems like an action.

Alice followed my steps, blinking her eyes.

Perhaps because of the height difference, it seemed that if I took two steps, Alice took three.

‘This isn’t it.’

With the girl following me, I passed through the trees and rolled my eyes.

Territory marks left by monsters occasionally seen in the forest.

As a common thing, there are times when it leaves fingernail marks on trees.

In some cases, they hang the bones of the creatures they ate outside.

As you walk through the forest with concentration, you will find signs full of individuality.

Inexperienced adventurers should be able to observe this without missing it if they want to live a long time.

“Oh!”

– Shii.

The spirit reacts to my voice with a flutter.

Even though it is such a thick and strong tree, its presence is so dim that you cannot feel it unless you concentrate on it.

At first glance, the marks on his fingertips were no different from those of an animal’s claws.

This sharpness is the sword mark left by the swordsman.

“Did you find it?”

At Alice’s words, I shook my head to express my affirmation.

“Stay a little further.”

“Yes!”

I decided to use her spirit to the fullest, leaving her to walk away without telling her.

“Can you help me pull this tree?”

You could just crush it with your fist or foot, blow it up, and pull it out by the root.

We must return this child to its owner immediately.

I’ve done this, but if it doesn’t come back after the business is over, I have no choice but to drop it.

– Shuik!

According to the request, mana is used insignificantly, giving strength to the body.

It’s so cute that I keep carrying it around, so I think I’ll get attached to it.

I am a type of human who likes not only dogs and cats, but even reptiles.

The feeling of giving the top of my head to a spirit that was shaped to snipe my taste was not bad.

Psuck! Pak!

As the spirit used its power, the area around the tree began to dig.

Part by part, it makes a rough sound as if it is being dug out with a transparent shovel.

After waiting for a while, the spirit seemed to have done the best it could, and the spirit sat down on top of my head.

“Thank you. You worked hard.”

-Sue…

I was worried about whether I should just kick it with my feet right now.

I decided to use the price the spirit gave me.

Confirming that Alice is still waiting for my signal from afar, I push the tree as it is.

Quick-Puddeudeuk!

Moving back and forth is not the end, but it also pulls up with pure muscle power.

After roughly shaking it a few times, the roots lift and go over to the side.

“Leaf.”

Cooong!

Small animals and birds in the forest screamed at the small vibration that shook the ground.

Under the stump of that tree.

When I pushed the dirt away with my foot, there was a dark door with a doorknob stuck to it.

Fortunately, no one seems to have heard, so I am satisfied.

“Okay, good~ I found it.”

There is no need to hold on to that hook that seems to break if you pull it.

Create an aura with your fingers, make a hole in the door, walk through it, and pull it.

Ki-Ik-

The stone steps feel dull for a green forest where the sun shines through.

I can’t see where the end is in the dark.

“Alice.”

“Yes!”

“Do you want to wait outside? It won’t take long.”

“Will I get in the way?”

I shook my head at Alice’s words, who were more concerned about efficiency than her own comfort.

He pointed to a stairway that gave off a gloomy atmosphere.

“It’s not that level. The atmosphere is somber.”

“I want to go if it doesn’t get in the way…! I’m an adventurer too, so don’t worry about that!

Another chance to see platinum’s inaction- Alice’s eyes flashed with curiosity.

“The momentum is good. Let’s go.”

Do you have a clear goal in your heart? She was a girl who was different from adventurers who had a passion for pursuing something.

Jerebuck-

The entrance where the stairs started was so low that I couldn’t straighten my waist with my height.

I almost collapsed and went down the stairs. The ceiling was so high that I stretched out my waist, and the air suddenly changed like a different world.

“Oh!”

Alice must have sensed this as well, so she unknowingly raised her voice and quickly closed her mouth.

“It’s okay to make noise. Just watch your feet.”

Since it was a unique dungeon different from the low-quality dungeons open to adventurers, the atmosphere was different.

The boss here is a named monster that will never respawn once you hunt it.

Or intertwined with a quest that becomes a big stem.

The guys who give artifacts and cause power inflation in relation to the main character or heroine are usually organized that way.

…

The corridor that suddenly appeared after the stairs was not completely dark, but there was light.

Dust-like objects in the air radiated a faint light, illuminating the hallway.

Sigh- sigh-

And the armor standing in the middle of that hallway.

Just looking at the folds and seams of the joints, you can tell that the inside is empty.

A movement that would be impossible for a human to begin with.

If the wearer is inside, it is impossible for the joints and upper body to rotate freely, so it is not difficult to deduce the identity.

“Living Armor?”

“Right. Smart.”

“I’m actually seeing it for the first time.”

Even if there is quite a distance, it is pierced in a straight line, but it does not recognize Alice and me and hovers at a certain interval.

A type that reacts only when it is within range.

“Do you want to play? If you concentrate well, you will win easily.”

“Ah! Will it be all right?”

Yongin’s blood flowing through the little girl’s body.

When faced with a new opponent, instead of being frightened, his eyes flash.

‘How am I going to fight.’

Something that has not been seen during combat. I was curious about this mixed-race girl’s way.

Is it pure magic? Or weapon skills or bare-handed fighting using superior physical abilities?

For a mere wizard, the movements he showed when trying to catch Tero were agile and excellent.

“There are no traps up there, so you can safely go there.”

“…!”

“Living armor is not a weakness in the head, but it collapses when it hits more than a certain amount, so hit anywhere you can see it.”

“Yes!”

What she harbors is elation rather than doubt.

Excitedly, I patted the back of a girl who looked excited, and as a signal, the girl kicked out of her seat.

Widely! Widely! Widely!

As Alice starts running, a cheerful sound echoes through the hallway.

Okay.

Without any expression of surprise or hostile emotion.

Living Armor rotated her upper body and moved her sword towards the girl who came within range.

Booung-

Alice avoids her sword by spinning her body without slowing down.

“Suck!”

A taijutsu that uses the legs, which have superior strength and reach over the arms.

Baek!

The armor of the living armor hit by the kick with rotational force was dented, and it was separated from the wall.

Before the armor that had collapsed like a tin can rose up again and formed a shape.

Her fists and feet crushed the iron mercilessly.

Watching her come back with her neat finish, I admired her.

“Ohh~ I can see that I learned it properly, right?”

Alice smiled embarrassingly as she scratched her head as if she was embarrassed.

“My father trains students here. I’ve been there since I was young and learned…”

“Somehow, the system was neatly organized.”

“Until that much…!”

Inside the dungeon, it is hard to believe that Saddam and completely dead tension.

After following the atmosphere, I walked down the hallway.

Unlike the beginning, the number of living armors increased, and at least two of them are grouped together and traveling a certain distance back and forth.

“I’m behind you now. If you don’t deal with traps quickly, they’ll take up time.”

“Ah… Yes!”

It had to be helped by the spirit to draw the attention of a guy from far away.

It was an unnecessary procedure, but the spirits kicked their toes! I wonder if it will return to its owner soon after seeing how hard it is to build it.

It’s simple to say it’s a trap.

A level that matches the level of the target who can hold the Living Armor.

Whether or not he stepped on the trap, there was no hesitation as he walked straight through the corridor.

Seeing my steps, Alice also extends her legs and follows with the same stride.

When an arrow comes flying, I just grab it and deal with the window popping up or the floor sinking.

Break through the hallway without wasting time.

Crackle!

The fist that sliced ​​through the air in a straight line slashed the sword held by the armor like a can of millet and made a huge hole in the upper body of the Living Armor.

“Hmm…”

It’s hard to completely contrast reality and games, but looking back on my memory, I think I’m almost there.

I shook my fist and threw the motionless lump of metal on the floor and walked forward.

“I think that’s the end.”

As Alice said, you can see the end of the hallway.

Unlike the entrance, a generously sized door welcomes you.

And unlike other living armors, there are two of them that do not move and keep their place.

‘Certainly no one came.’

I grabbed each helmet with both hands, crumpled them like paper, threw them in the corner, and stood in front of the door.

Bang!

With one kick, the door leaf tumbled across the floor, revealing the inside.

A large rectangular space.

“Can you see it well? It’s dangerous now, so I’m watching it from here.”

It would be impossible to deal with the boss here at the level of Alice right now.

Make them wait outside the door and go inside.

“… Tero!”

The spirit did not even pretend to hear the owner’s voice, unable to do this or that.

“Are you going to follow me?”

– Shii.

“Well… If you think it’s dangerous, go to your back instead of your head.”

The corner of her mouth went up at the action of the spirit wagging her tail and sending her a positive message.

The one who died by my hand before entering here.

Just as even that orc has a green variant, other monsters also have special objects.

There are goblins, there are kobolds, and even those slimes.

In particular, I remember that the slime king wearing a crown full of jewels was often used in banners for game advertisements.

Then, which living armor is higher level than them?

My mouth hurts just talking about it.

Between living armors that seem to have been made with the same mold in the same factory.

There is one guy who stands out in particular.
