When Victor and his group returned to the hall, only five private soldiers who had originally occupied the stone chamber were left guarding next to a downward tunnel.

"It's your turn, smart guy."

Hawke knew it was unwise to incite the only priest in the ranks who could heal, but he just couldn't help but provoke.

"Hawk..." Dunan pressed his shoulder and signaled not to offend Victor with his eyes.

Rena stood behind the Lich and was ready to help it deal with the five private soldiers.

"stop!"

One of them yelled softly and drew out his long sword to intimidate: "Go back, otherwise don't blame us..." Before he finished speaking, he saw the man in a black robe raise his hand and a small blue-white flame emerge from his fingertips. In just a few seconds, he expanded from the size of his fist to a skull with a hideous face.

“Ah hahaha~~~”

The jaws kept trembling and making a harsh smile. The ghost invaded his way like a wild beast that discovered his prey, and rushed straight towards the pale private soldier.

The long sword was swinging randomly in the air, unable to cause any substantial damage to the ghost. Realizing that ordinary weapons could not threaten the things that made strange laughs, these private soldiers did not care about their responsibilities and ran down the ladder to seek shelter from the large army.

"Stop."

He called Rena who wanted to track up, and Victor pressed his hand on the stone slab on the right side of the tunnel. A vague and incomprehensible language immediately echoed in the entire stone chamber, causing the three temporary companions to suddenly feel inexplicable fear.

Just as the prayer-like murmur ended, the floor cracked and another passage appeared.

"This is..." Du Nan walked cautiously to the newly emerging tunnel. Although it was also cold, this one had no rotten smell, and he could even smell the fragrance of herbs mixed in the air.

Could it be...

"The private soldiers left is a trap. Although the Hall of Five can scare the timid ordinary adventurers, it cannot stop the manipulators who know the method of cracking. Only those who understand the necromancer can open the correct path."

"So the evil mage prepared a fake passage to introduce the intruder into the trap that had been set long ago?" Reina followed up with Victor's follow-up.

"What should those people do?" Hawke looked at the authentic tunnel with rotten gas. If it was a trap, wouldn't they...

"We don't have time to care about other people's life or death." Taking out a copper coin, Victor chanted the spell softly. In an instant, this very ordinary currency shone brighter than a torch.

The lich let go of his hand, and the copper coins without support were still floating in the air. Then, as its hand waved, he turned downward and entered the dark tunnel.

Bang!

Not long after, a muffled sound suddenly came from the tunnel. Victor turned his head and looked at the warrior standing beside him: "It's time for you to play next."

"What! Me?" Although Hawke knew that the strange sound meant that there were traps or mechanisms below, he did not expect that the evil priest with temporary command would actually give him the lead. Usually this kind of work is done by thieves.

"Ah~ Sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't explain it. Although Miss Rena is an expert in dismantling traps, the things below are not the objects her power can deal with. They must be strong and strong, such as... your physique." Victor said while touching Hawk's forehead, hands, chest, back and other places with his fingers. Several different colors of light lit up in the warrior's body, including white, red, and yellow. The palm-sized runes were printed on the bronze skin, making Hawk look a bit like a primitive tribe warrior who worships totems.

"A golem? Or some kind of monster?" Du Nan guessed.

"A stone golemn that can still move. If it is a creature, it will not pay attention to the living moving object. Only the golemn that stubbornly executes the destruction order will destroy the coin that has no threat or hunting significance." After applying brute force, elemental shield and other spells to Hawk, Victor gently touched the giant sword with both hands drawn by the warrior, and the red flame immediately overflowed the entire sword body, making the weapon look like a burning iron bar.

Hawk, who held the sword in both hands, clearly felt the power of this spell. The dissatisfaction in his eyes quickly changed into courageous perseverance under the inertia of his profession. After making a low shout full of explosive power, the warrior walked down the tunnel fearlessly.

Victor added a spell to himself, and a black visual rune surrounded his whole body, like a small shield moving left and right.

Du Nan pulled out two arrows from the quiver and put them on the string, ready to provide support to the comrades in the front at any time.

Reina pulled out the single-edged dagger inserted on her waist, and when she walked at the end, she seemed to be responsible for breaking the back.

The team that was temporarily pieced together finally began its formal adventure, but they all seemed to have forgotten that this ancient ruin called "Shadow" is called the tower in architecture.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

The heavy sound echoed in the narrow and dark space, aggravating the heaviness and boredom in the hearts of the three adventurers. Human beings are always full of fear for unknown things.

The road that extends downward seems to have no end. No matter how you go, there are always stone steps ahead. What worries them the most is that every step they take will produce a strange feeling of dizziness, both like walking on a rope as thin as a thumb, and as if climbing a steep cliff.

As the tunnel deepened, the temperature gradually lowered. The breath exhaled from the lungs turned into a slightly white mist, and the invading chill made his hands and feet feel a little numb. Hawk looked back at Reina, and she shook her head, indicating that she had found no abnormalities.

"careful!"

The ranger with stronger vision than the warrior whispered a warning. As soon as he finished speaking, a stone beast-shaped statue of two people tall appeared from the darkness. After seeing the human headed by Hawk, its eyes decorated with crystals lit up and ran at a quick speed that was inconsistent with its height and material.

Hawke tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, took two steps forward with years of melee combat, and slashed with force and force. The giant sword with both hands slashed horizontally. The fiery red blade drew a semicircle in the air and then slashed towards the golem that entered the attack range. The sharp scratch sound was very sharp. The enchanted weapon was sharper than usual, and it easily cut the surface of the golem as hard as a stone. The golem, which had been cut into a hole in the chest and abdomen, did not stop moving, but its raised claws just moved to Hawke's head, and the ranger Dunan's attack arrived.

Doll! Doll!

Two consecutive arrows shot at relatively fragile joints, and the connection point between the elbow and the arm was penetrated by the arrow attached to the mage by a low-level spell. The golem that lost one arm did not give up. It quickly raised another arm with sharp poison claws embedded in it and swung it violently. Hawke raised his sword in time to resist it. Unexpectedly, the golem suddenly leaned forward, and the weight of his entire body suddenly pressed on the warrior.

"Uh! This guy is so heavy, help me..." Hawke couldn't bear it anymore. He tried his best to barely resist it.

Reina was about to come forward to help, Victor raised his hand, and the wind blade that was invisible to the naked eye cut through the air and slashed heavily at the neck of the golem. With a "clang", the ferocious and ferocious head rolled down from its huge body and slammed heavily on the stone floor. Next, several wind blades cut off the strong limbs. The golem finally stopped attacking, but it still maintained its attacking posture when it fell to the ground.

"Huh... I'm saved..." Without looking back, Hawke also knew who was the one who saved him at the critical moment, but he couldn't say the word "Thank you".

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

The heavy footsteps sounded from far to near, and Hawke's expression just slackened.

Why are there? How many golems are there here?

Victor put his index finger on his lips and signaled Hawk, who was still trying to complain, to silence.

Another moving beast-shaped figure appeared, but its appearance was slightly different from the one lying on the ground. Its huge body flashed with a mysterious dark red in the dark environment.

Hawke didn't know what language to describe the strange thing he saw. The upper body was human, oh... no, it should be said to be a human. Apart from a pair of big horns on his head, this guy also has two pairs of strong arms, each holding a sharp weapon in his hand. If the upper body can barely be considered human, the lower half is completely a monster. Eight steps as strong as a spider, each move will make a hard metal sound.

Hawke instinctively wanted to retreat to distance himself from this strange thing, but reason told him that moving at this time was a very stupid act. At the same time, Victor moved.

Raising his hand again, his palm facing the darkness to the right. The Ranger behind him heard a series of quick murmurs, and then he saw the priest suddenly harvest his hand into a fist shape, as if he was holding something.

Click...click...click...

The movement sounded much lighter than the golem, and it sounded more than one. The strange golem that blocked the adventurers and his group turned around and looked like the direction of the sound coming from.

Good opportunity!

Hawke was about to raise his sword and slash when his shoulder suddenly turned cold. The force from behind him pressed the attack he was about to launch. The corner of his eyes tilted and saw a pale palm resting on his shoulder.

"Swoosh!", the strange-shaped golem suddenly slid to the right, so fast that Hawke gasped.

Good guy, this speed doesn't match the bulky appearance at all. If I had attacked it just now...

Knowing that he could not get any advantage at all, Hawkdo Victor's hostility was reduced again. Whether evil or not, he had helped him twice.

[Stay not to move, don't talk. This guy has a poor judgment ability and can't tell the difference between living things and dead things. It will only attack what will move. I will find a way to deal with it. All you have to do during this period is waiting. Random action and personal heroism will not bring you any results except death.] The three adventurers also saw the priest take out a short stick and quickly write a shiny text in the air, and then quickly break it up with his hands.

Under the gaze of Hawk, Dunan and Reina, Victor's body suddenly floated up and turned backwards, turning into a posture above his head and below his feet. Before they could express their surprise, it slowly floated in the direction where the golem was, gradually disappearing from the visible field of vision.
