Some guardians have been placed in front of the gate before the path that connects to the area where the vampires are.
『Show me your power if ye wish to cross this gate』
『Show me your wisdom if ye wish to cross this gate』
『Swords and Magic, retrace your steps if ye do not posses both』
Three mouths engraved on the gate are speaking words like living things.
As for the guardians, there are two large golems that are bigger than 9 meters, and a semi-transparent Wraith.
The golems are a skeleton-like Bone Golem and a robot-like steel-made Iron Golem.
The Iron Golem has a cannon and an axe-like weapons, while the Bone Golem has two short swords, a mace and a round shield on its four arms. Although I said short swords, that's only relative to the nine-meter big golem, from my perspective it's pretty much a thick great sword.
I guess annihilating them would be bad if I'm going to have a talk with the vampires.
Without caring for me who had been lost in thought, the Iron Golem began its attack.
The Iron Golem shoots out a flaming ball from its cannon.
Using the [Break Magic] is troublesome, so I flick the flaming ball with my hands, changing its course.
The out-of-course flaming ball made a big explosion on the passage wall behind me.
With that as the signal, the Wraith has begun chanting [Ice Paralyze], and the Bone Golem started to dance with two weapons on its arms.
With small motions, I take some light steps to dodge the furious assaults from both sides, and then I lightly touch it with my palms by matching the timing of its attacks.
Right at that moment, I drain its magic power with [Mana Drain] in one go to make it unable to act anymore.
The Bone Golem which has lost its magic power breaks down to the ground as if it's been attacked with Turn Undead.
I capture the scattered bones of the Bone Golem with the magic-sealing ropes and wires I've made from Thorn Foot in the mansion in order to prevent it from returning to battle.
Of course I didn't do it manually, I used [Magic Hand] magic.
Ignoring the Wraith's chant, I go toward the golem which is setting up its cannon to neutralize it.
Even if I'm paralyzed, I could release it by using [Break Magic] chantlessly, so that one is for the last.
It seems there's a time lag before the Iron Golem can use the cannon again, it's attacking me with the axe part, but since its movement is slow, I lightly dodge it without even using the Ground Shrink, and then I neutralize it with [Mana Drain] like with the Bone Golem.
I tie its right leg and its left arm behind its back with magic-sealing rope, restraining it.
I direct a jumping kick toward the Wraith while seeing the log informing successful resist against the paralyze at the edge of my view.
It seems the Wraith has a special characteristic of invalidating physical attacks, it's waiting my kick while looking calm.
Wraiths have an atrocious skill called [Life Drain], so from its point of view, I probably look like [A moth flying into the flame].
The moment I touch the Wraith, I generate magic edge on the spikes on the sole of my shoe, kicking it away.
Of course, I didn't forget to hold back so it wouldn't be defeated in one blow.
It seems to be quite painful as the Wraith that has been kicked away runs away toward the graveyard beyond the gate while screaming like it's startled.
Wraiths that are weak to pain, how rare.
Do they even feel pain in the first place?
No one answers such a question of mine as the gate simply opens silently.
