Reckless Act (6)

“Everyone, step back.”

After making my colleagues step back, I faced the opponent in front of me.

A golem with three pairs of teeth attached to its gigantic body.

Unlike ordinary monsters, they are difficult enemies that are impervious to magic attacks.

However, that does not mean that it is weak to physical blows.

“Nu, sister! Wait a minute…!”

Despite Malcolm’s dissuasion, Catalina charged forward with her great sword.

I swung the great sword at the golem’s leg.

Kaang!

“Wha…?!”

Instead of the bridge collapsing, the huge sword flew off.

At the same time, a huge fist flew over Catalina’s head.

I quickly raised my sword and took a guard, but I couldn’t overcome the impact and my leg broke.

Unable to overcome the shock, he was in danger of being crushed to death.

When I immediately swung my long sword at the golem’s arm, it withdrew its fist and retreated.

I was standing there blocking the road.

At the same time, a group of monsters popping out from around the area.

Fearing that they would be surrounded on all sides, they tried to retreat, but it was already too late.

“It’s dangerous!”

Numerous experimental subjects rushing towards Tyria with her screams.

All kinds of strange crying sounds echoed inside the cave.

A ghoul crawling on four legs. An orc running towards you with a foul odor. Naga rushes forward with his eyes wide open.

They are all crazy monsters.

Each of them can’t be said to be very strong, but it would be a different story if they attacked in such large numbers.

“Everyone unite!” “Don’t fall!”

First, maintain the formation that protects Celica and Tyria.

Kayla stepped forward and deployed a magic circle.

“My lord! I will take charge of the rear!”

Kayla immediately spreads her magic and creates a spark.

Just as the monster was getting closer, an ignition occurred.

As a huge arson filled the cave, Celica’s barrier protected us.

The monsters caught up in the flames cried out in pain and burned completely black.

It would be nice if the monsters were annihilated like that.

Most of them were moving fine even though they were engulfed in flames.

Some of them even rushed towards us with their whole bodies on fire.

“Master…?! This is…!”

Without having time to panic, I swung my long sword at the charging monster.

A monster that quickly freezes when it fires cold air at an enemy whose entire body is on fire.

I was sick of the sight of my body running until it was on the verge of being frozen.

‘…There is also resistance to ice magic.’

There were very few creatures that were resistant to both fire and cold.

No, it was safe to say that there were none among the Demon King’s army.

In other words, it means that Makiella modified the test subject to target us.

“Damn it…!!”

Catalina frantically swung her greatsword with a distorted expression.

However, there were also monsters that were strong against physical attacks.

“Sister! Floor…! There’s slime on the floor…!”

At Malcolm’s words, Catalina split the slime in two.

In an instant, the body was dividing and regenerating.

“What are these…!”

Catalina must have been embarrassed, so she put away her great sword and retreated.

Gradually, the group of monsters began to narrow the siege.

Fortunately, the monsters couldn’t get close because Erina was struggling and pushing them away.

The war situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.

“Everyone gather close together!”

Immediately, he infused magical energy into the long sword and created a strong wind.

Snow storm in the snowy mountains. I created a whirlpool by capturing the sight I saw as I fell down the cliff.

As a whirlpool accompanied by cold swirled around, the surrounding area quickly froze.

At the same time, the mana is rapidly draining away and the feeling of exhaustion overtakes the entire body.

Just as I was about to catch my breath, I pointed my long sword in the direction of the entrance.

Kwaaang!

As a huge snow storm swirled with a roar, the monsters located in the rear were instantly swept away.

“Huh… Huh… Everyone, charge!”

My colleagues run towards the golem with my horse.

Although the monsters were wiped out in the rear, test subjects were pouring out in the front.

Erina rushes forward with a white flash.

When the long sword flashed out, sparks flew out along with the sound of thunder.

The problem was that the giant golem was moving normally even after being swept away by the spark.

This is unusual considering that very few people have endured Erina’s electric shock.

Likewise, since she even received Catalina’s slash, it means she is invincible to most attacks.

The golem didn’t even have a weak spot.

It was nearly impossible to defeat the golem unless the golem had overwhelming power.

But there was no way that just one golem could stop us.

“Erina. “I’ll block the punch and you can finish it.”

“Yes…?! That’s too…!”

Before I could hear Erina’s answer, I grabbed my shield and ran towards the golem.

A total of six arms. When the biggest fist among them approached, I lowered my head to avoid it.

At the same time, two hands came to grab my body.

Cheaeng!

He blocked it with a long sword with one arm and a shield with the other.

The moment the other arm was about to hit my head.

“It’s dangerous… !!”

In an instant, Tyria ran out and swung her bow to stop the golem’s arm.

The other arm was also held by Kayla, blocking it with her whole body.

While blocking the three pairs of arms, Catalina joins in and continues the attack.

Gradually, the golem’s movements became slower and it began to tilt.

“Malcolm! Block it straight!”

“Oh, I understand!”

Malcolm is alone blocking the monsters pouring in from the front.

In order to finish off the golem while buying time, Erina raised her long sword and unleashed her magic power.

A beam of light burning through the sword body with bloody sparks.

The long sword engulfed in high-voltage electricity was finally fired towards the golem’s body.

Kwaang!

When the long sword hits the golem’s chest directly, the huge body collapsed.

The solid body began to crack and crumble.

While he was struggling on the floor, his arms and legs had to be cut off to incapacitate him.

The moment when he pulls out his long sword and goes all out to crush both legs first.

“… !?”

Suddenly, the cave began to shake with a huge vibration.

Not only me but also my colleagues were looking around with a puzzled expression.

Inside the cave the entire place vibrates as if an earthquake has occurred.

I realized that someone was trying to artificially collapse the cave.

“Get out now!”

My colleagues run outside as soon as they hear my voice.

But it was too far to reach the outside.

The walls of the cave are slowly starting to collapse.

As the rocks fell and the ceiling shook, feelings of despair flowed in.

My heart sank as I realized that no matter how fast I ran, I would never reach the entrance.

The moment I ran towards the entrance.

“Ah… !?”

I saw Kayla, who was following me, fall.

A rock fell from the ceiling and landed on his head, causing him to fall to the floor.

“Kayla…!!”

I immediately ran towards her and tried to help her up.

Kwaaang!

The moment I held her hand, my vision went black along with the sound of an explosion.

***

“Shit… Shit… !”

Inside a cave where nothing can be seen.

When the ground, which had been shaking precariously, calmed down, Machiela stamped her feet in exasperation.

Even if I did that, all I could do was hit my foot on a rolling stone and shed tears.

Makiela falls to the ground alone and sobs in an empty cave.

Her wailing voice, as if she had lost her mind, began to quiet down.

She didn’t even have the strength to raise her thin and haggard body, so she could only spit out words filled with resentment like a machine.

“You b*stards… Even the devil… All of those children… !!”

The demon king reassured himself by saying that he would protect his laboratory.

As promised, he dispatched numerous demon king forces to the forest area.

Rather, I thought that Makiela’s location had been revealed due to the movements of the Demon King’s army.

Otherwise, how would you accurately find the cave you are located in?

Even thinking about it again, Machiela seemed to be exasperated and slammed her fist on the floor.

Despite insisting that we should evacuate to another location and move the research center a long time ago.

The Demon King rejected her request and forced to continue the experiment.

From the beginning, I had doubts about whether I could stop them, but I had no choice but to follow the Demon King’s orders.

Makiella desperately pursued the experiment and mass-produced test subjects.

In the end, even the golem protecting her was driven to death.

The Demon King blew up her cave and drowned her with the kingdom’s army.

“Ugh… Haha…”

Fortunately, the cave itself did not collapse, perhaps because there was a problem with the explosion.

Although his bedroom and personal space were not affected by the explosion.

The wall collapsed and a sinkhole appeared, blocking the path to the entrance.

In other words, I was trapped alone in a cave with no one around.

“Why on earth… !!”

When Machiela found out that she had been betrayed by the Demon King, she fell into a feeling of despair.

If things continue like this, I will just die alone in the cave.

All that was left was a future where only resentment and anger remained and the person died in solitude.

While I fell to the floor and cried.

Suddenly, a movement was felt inside the cave.

“W-what… !?”

Machiela got scared and hid under the bed she was using.

Soon the entrance, which had collapsed, was gradually shaking.

‘If… To save me… ?’

Has someone found him and come to rescue him?

Suddenly, the golem that was guarding his side came to mind.

In a situation like this, the only person who can care about him is Golem.

Even though he made it hastily, he used all his technical skills to become the strongest entity.

I waited with bated breath, hoping that the golem would save me.

Finally, the pile of stones blocking the entrance collapsed and someone entered her bedroom.

And the person Makiela encountered.

“Ah… Ah… “

A man with a fierce look.

And a black-haired woman being supported by him.

I ended up face to face with Seohyun and Kayla, whom I had only heard about.
