Helmut: The Forsaken Child Chapter 203

Helmut

Episode 203

The first space was the only place where Area’s will was realized. From then on, an empty room unfolded.

A space that collapsed and gave an empty feeling like a ruin.

Area said that a lot of magical power was consumed to construct the entrance.

Helmut tilted his head.

“Isn’t this dungeon big?”

“Right, so it will take time to refine the whole thing. “It will be a big project.”

“Is my training site possible?”

“If it’s just a matter of creating a large, stable open space, all you have to do is compact it a bit. It will be okay to train Vis. However, in terms of efficiency, it may not be as good as the academy’s training center. “Creating a full-fledged training center will be a new challenge.”

“How are you going to use the magic power?”

Lampione wouldn’t have built this dungeon in a day.

It is said that once you reach the level of an archmage, the supply and demand of magical power becomes incomparably smoother, but this dungeon was not built in a day.

‘I guess I’ll have to pour in the magic power of everyone at Greta Academy’s magic department to become my best.’

That was how Helmut felt. Just as a good house requires a lot of work, a dungeon is also like that.

“Rampione’s dungeon has a dramatically efficient structure in terms of magical power consumption. This dungeon itself is Rampione’s work. It took me a while to even put together the introduction because I don’t know how, but I’m researching. It will take some time though. “It’s something worth studying.”

Area said with a face full of motivation.

Area has been particularly lively these days. As soon as she entered her dungeon, as if she had been waiting, the magic was removed from her and she returned to her original form. She was also pleasing to Helmut.

Areaa looked like a girl, not the cold and haughty second-year head of the magic department at Greta Academy.

Helmut said it was because of him, but he didn’t put a high possibility on it. It was something he wasn’t confident about yet.

“But like I said, there’s work to do before that.”

Area pointed in front with her fingertip. I could feel the energy of magic everywhere.

Things that look like rocks are sparsely placed in front of me. If you look closely, it’s a golem.

It somehow looked familiar. The guys Helmut had cut down were already asleep in good health. It is surprising that this is true even after destroying the nucleus.

“The core planted in them does not lose its vitality until it is shattered. It has its origin in the dungeon and automatically restores itself over time. As persistent as a weed. That’s why the golem remains as close to its original form as possible.”

Rampione’s golem has attack abilities and physical recovery similar to monsters. Moreover, they absolutely obey their master’s orders.

I don’t know what it was like in terms of intelligence, but it was a very good power in itself. Helmut realized.

“It could be useful militarily.”

Probably the result of Rampione’s lifelong research. If Rampione had had more time, he would have been able to create an army.

It may not suit the wizard’s personality, but if he had done so, he might have conquered the world.

“If they had known this, every country would have targeted Lampione’s legacy.”

“Luckily it wasn’t known. As you know, I was the first to find Rampione’s dungeon. And mass producing that golem must be difficult. “The ingredients are very expensive and it takes a lot of work to make each piece.”

“Such a study would have stood out. “Why isn’t it known?”

“Rampione completely hid his research on golems. He did not want his magical achievements to be used for destruction or war. He was close to being greedless in that respect. “He was just a scholar.”

The first and last evil decision he made was to steal the body of his younger brother.

Even that failed miserably, perhaps because he was not used to doing evil things.

Nevertheless, Lampione’s honor will be preserved. Luckily, someone who couldn’t spread the word about it got his hands on his legacy.

Helmut took a step toward the golems gathered in one place. They had been placed in their respective rooms, but now they were just scattered here and there in the vacant lot.

It was just that Lampione, like the dean, seemed to have bad taste, and his appearance was not very good. The centipede has a strange shape.

“Can you change shape?”

“Yes, we’ll have to make it incapable of combat before then and look into it. “Don’t break it too much.”

From what I heard, it was Helmut’s responsibility to deal with the golem. The idea is to break it down in moderation.

As Helmut approached, the golem’s eyes lit up one by one, as if an automatic attack command had been entered.

The sword was pulled from Helmut’s waist. Gray vis rose lightly over the sword. It is so hard that it cannot be cut without a screw.

‘It’s been a long time since I saw a real fight.’

There was no need for Area to fight together. The golem was a threat to ordinary people.

It had as much power as a real monster, and its skin made of metal or stone was harder than that of a monster. I’ve already dealt with him once, so I know all the patterns.

‘You have to target the nuclear weapon to stop its function. ‘I’ll just have to do it like last time.’

It appeared that repair was possible if the nucleus was split in half.

Pop! The golem kicked off the floor and rushed towards him like a moon. This time, there will be no restrictions or problems.

Helmut stretched out his vis-laden sword and easily smashed the golem. Kwasik! Kwazijic! The golem fell into pieces and fell to the ground, covering its body.

In less than 20 minutes, Helmut was able to kill all the golems he could see with the naked eye.

Only after confirming that the movement had disappeared did Area come closer. I looked at the smashed golem with curious eyes.

In terms of producing magical power, it seemed to change the attribution. Helmut asked.

“You say you originated from a dungeon, so why don’t you obey you, the dungeon’s owner?”

“Because these guys were made to be operated outside of the dungeon. It is an individual entity, different from the dungeon. “You have to change the attribution one by one.”

Area, who was examining the golem, added with admiration.

“I knew Rampione was a genius, but I didn’t know he had done this much research on golems. amazing. If I lived at the same time as him… … “I may have felt inferior to him.”

Helmut thought differently.

“Rampione must have felt inferior to you, too.”

“Is that so?”

Area changed the subject as she walked towards the golem.

“You too. As I listened to your story, I felt like my life, which had been difficult in its own way, had become peaceful. You are the first human to leave the Forest of Pahe. I couldn’t have done it like you did. “He probably died as soon as he entered the forest.”

“I got lucky, too.”

“If it’s luck… … “You mean them?”

“Yes, my teacher and Elaga.”

It was subtle to describe Elaga as a parent.

Helmut had human parents, and Elaga did not volunteer to be his parent and raise him.

It was closer to supplying food rather than caring for or raising them with any care.

Elaga was just Elaga.

Helmut thought that if there was anything he missed, it would be Elaga’s hot body and soft fur.

It was very comfortable to be stuck there in the cold weather.

Area opened her mouth with a calm face.

“… … Won’t you tell me a story about them when you have time? I don’t think I’ve heard any details about how you grew up in the Forest of Pahe or what life was like there. “You can talk about that here.”

For some reason, Area didn’t say anything more about the Forest of Pahe.

It wasn’t a topic that could be talked about carelessly, so they were choosing an appropriate location.

We were equally curious about each other’s stories.

And it is Helmut who has more to talk about. Because there were more accidents in his life.

Helmut nodded.

“Check the miscarriage first, then take your time.”

In the distance, at the end of the clearing, I could see a small hole. It was just big enough for one person to bend down and step in.

I didn’t notice because the golem was blocking the road like a gatekeeper.

“okay.”

Area readily agreed.

The treasure trove did not pop out right from the hole. Inside the hole was a tangled maze.

The road was complicated with many branches, and most of it had slopes or narrow sections. Sometimes, it returned to its original location.

Although nothing particularly dangerous happened, the two wandered around the dungeon for a long time. Helmut pulled Area down the steep road several times.

Area said as if making an excuse.

“This and that place in subspace has become mixed and congested. “I can’t do anything about this yet.”

“Has Lampione’s legacy continued?”

“Yes, what I wanted most strongly when I acquired the dungeon was to continue the path to Rampione’s legacy.”

Magic is the power to fulfill one’s will and wishes. The dungeon has a path made.

It’s just that it wasn’t an easy path, perhaps because it reflected the will of the sublease owner.

But they soon reached the end.

“Here you go. “There’s a door.”

As I exited the narrow cave path, a huge door appeared in front of me.

It was an unusual entrance, even though it looked like it was heavily engraved with magic symbols. There is no handle.

Could it be possible to push it to the side or inward? Helmut thoughtlessly took his hand to open the entrance.

At that moment, crackle! The electric current jumped. Helmut, who had pulled up the vis to block the current, raised his eyebrows.

“I guess you should do it?”

“There is a defensive spell on. Lampione has cast several layers of magic. “It must be here.”

Area clapped her hands. As soon as her hand, not Helmut’s, touched it, the door opened.

Area hurriedly stepped inside. The smell of old books hit me.

A huge library filled with books up to the ceiling appeared before my eyes. It was about ten times the height of a person and had to be climbed up on a ladder.

The overwhelming majesty filled the eyes of bookworm Area with excitement.

“It’s Lampione’s library. As expected, Rampione made this place the most stable in the dungeon. It is in almost perfect shape with no damage. Look at those old books! It’s full of more rare books than most academies! The magic book is almost half. “There are so many books I haven’t read!”

But smelly books were not important to Helmut.

He looked at the library filled with books as if it were an obstacle he wanted to burn.

“Where on earth is the treasure?”

That was what was important to Helmut. It was also hidden well.

“Somewhere in here…” … There must be a path that leads to it. “Because wizards connect libraries, laboratories, and warehouses.”

However, at first glance, there were endless bookshelves inside the library. An enclosed space filled only with books.

Area was looking around the bookshelf and found a book. It was a book with a particularly shiny spine.

“It’s Rampione’s writings. “Is it here?”

The moment he pressed the spine of the book, a change occurred.
