After arriving at Merishia Mountains we went a little to the north, and I let the sky garden rest above Steer Mine. The mining quarry could be seen below, so I opened a [Gate] and go to ground. Shizuka is house-sitting in the garden.
When I got down to ground, the vicinity was rather quiet, with a very weird atmosphere.
「Is there no one here?」
「Well, no one would approach the golem territory. It seems it has the nature to remove the people who invades it is own territory as well. Probably, once it notices us it will come here」
While listening to the conversation between Yumina and Elsie, I searched for [Mithril Golem] using my map application. Ah, it’s there. It’s moving slowly inside the tunnel. It seems it is coming toward us.
「I’m grateful it’s coming out here because of the risk of a cave-in. Should I use [Slip] and make it fall down endlessly once it comes out?」
『That is severe… 』
『I don’t ever want to taste that again… 』
Kuroyou and Sango mutter dejectedly at my words.
『But if you do it like that, won’t you not be able to defeat it? I can’t imagine the golem crying and begging for mercy like these guys』
『Bastard, I dare you to say it again!』
『Kohaku… You bastard, are you picking a fight with us?』
I soothe the dangerous atmosphere between the three, and I think about it for a moment.
Mmm, that’s true, even if I consider the fall damage from Slip it would still be difficult. Back when it was against Kuroyou and Sango there was a time limit till sunset, I used that method but…
Hmm, other methods… I thought this up some time ago, but maybe I should give that a try.
「Wait, I am going make some preparation」
I told everybody and opened [Gate], then I went to Shizuka’s location in Sky Garden.
I finished preparing and went back to quarry, *thud*, I heard a thud. Seems like the golem has apparently arrived.
「Where were you! There’s no time anymore!?」
「Sorry, it took a while」
While apologizing to Elsie’s words, I give about 50 bullets with [Explosion] to Yumina and Lindsey. Just in case I hand over the bullets and the new model army to Yae since this time her katana would not be useful.
If everything proceeds according to plan, it may not be necessary, but I don’t know what will happen. It is better to be careful, I think.
*Thud*, *thud* the footsteps are getting closer. It’s finally coming out. I stare at the entrance of the large cave. But the tunnel here is really large… By any chance, did the golem dig through later and expanded it? If we assume that then maybe the golem’s size is at the height of this tunnel.
At any rate…Those footsteps, aren’t they strange? One is closer and one is farther, like there were two…
「It is here -degozaru!」
The silver body illuminated by sunlight appears at the tunnel entrance.
The rugged rock-like body, but emitting a metal luster, its size is probably 6 meters. The legs are short, but the arms are long and large. Apart from the expressionless face, you can see a black hole where the eyes are supposed to be. Inside is an eerie red shine,and it is definitely staring at us.
「T-touya-san, that!!」
Yumina points at one more golem that slowly appeared at the tunnel entrance. His body was also illuminated with silver color from here, giving off a dazzling light.
Two Mithril golems. What the hell! So that’s why there were two vibrations. I didn’t notice it when I looked at the map app earlier. Did it seem both bodies were piled up? Don’t tell me they were a married couple?
Muu, despite that I would have found out there were two in advance if I enlarged it… Don’t tell me in addition, another kid golem will come out?
Without caring about my feelings, the golem lifts the large rock near it, and threw it toward here. Oops, that’s dangerous!
Everyone spread out to avoid it. It crashed into the ground, the rock smashed into pieces and scattered in all directions.
「Oh Water Come forth, Impact the surface, Bubble bomb」
When Lindsey chants a spell, several orb-like bubbles appear, and lightly floats towards one of the golems. And the moment it came to contact with the golem, a chain reaction of explosions started, dodon dodon!! And explosions echo in the area.
