The Old Castle of Golden Hand.
Inside the crumbling castle, various objects were in decay.
The carpet, which must have been laid down in the past, is torn and hardly in its original state.
The armor adorning the corridors was rusted and fallen down, and the paintings were dusty and decaying.
The area around where the window once stood is littered with shards of glass, probably from window frames that have deteriorated and come off.
Looking outside, the courtyard was wide and overgrown with trees.
I let out a deep sigh as I walked down the hallway, light coming in through the windows.
“――Why are you guys following me?”
I turned around and there they were, Julius and his friends.
Julius squeezes his hands in frustration.
“Marie wouldn’t rely on us. This is because we thought we had to find the treasure and offer it to Marie to get credit.”
“That’s why you’re coming with me? Why don’t you just go on your own?”
“You are a coward, but I highly value your abilities. Besides, with Luxion with you, you’re on the same shortcut to the treasure, aren’t you?”
Luxion takes a cold attitude toward Julius, who expresses his theory with confidence.
[This time I will only provide minimal support.]
“What ?!”
[Of course. This is a game between Master and Angelica. I have also told Creare to provide minimal support. The terms are 50-50.]
Hearing this, Jilk, who was behind me, blatantly shook his head.
“What the hell. It’s just arrogance to not use the abilities you have. It’s always better to give it your all here.”
It seems he is trying to get a good ride out of me because he wants the treasure.
“No. I care about Ange more than you guys.”
As I say this and start walking away, I hear Chris and Greg talking behind me.
They both seem to be suspicious of what I say and do.
“Is it my imagination that there seem to be a lot of women around for someone who cares so much about her?”
“Don’t tell him. Leon is a man, too.”
“In the first place, when you’re engaged to several women, even you care about her, it’s”
“Absolutely”
Frustrated by their conversation, I stopped, turned around, raised my rifle, and put my finger on the trigger.
As the two of them try to distance themselves from me, I am shouting.
“Everybody get down!”
As soon as I shouted, they all quickly bent down and looked backward.
Emerging from the back of a dimly lit passageway was a skeleton dressed in rusted armor.
The main reason I didn’t take on this dungeon is that most of the monsters you encounter here are undead.
Pulling the trigger, a bullet fired from the rifle pierces the monster’s armor.
The monster didn’t seem to mind the bullets.
After all, they are undead.
As for physical attacks, they were quite resistant.
A gun is not a good match for this monster, as it will revive unless it is shattered.
But the skeleton monster is slowly crumbling from where I shot it.
It began to rattle and shake, then the skeletons in its armor crumbled into sand.
“Sacred bullets work”
Skeletons and armor vanish in a puff of smoke as it turns to sand.
Luxion also saw the situation.
[I have confirmed that the monsters have been defeated. After all, there are no monsters that pose a threat in this dungeon.]
From just the current battle, it seems that he has concluded that there are no monsters that could be a threat to us.Brad was wiping the cold sweat off his face.
“I thought he was going to threaten Chris and Greg.”
“I wouldn’t point a gun at someone just for a joke”
As expected, I wouldn’t go that far, either.
Julius begins to think about this dungeon, staring at the place where the monsters disappeared.
“I’ve heard there are a lot of undead types, but could this castle be cursed?”
I raise my eyebrows when I hear about being cursed.
“What do you mean?”
“Haven’t you heard? They say that undead monsters tend to appear in places where grudges and resentments build up.”
Hearing that scared me.
“――Don’t talk about unpleasant things”
Jilk notices the way I quickly walk away.
“Oya? By any chance, Leon-kun, are you not good with scary stories? If so, I have a very special story to tell you. Actually――”
“Shut up and watch your surroundings, shady bastard!”
I shouted, and I heard five idiots laughing behind me.
Damn! I’m just a little bad with scary things.
