Episode 435: The Golem of the Test
The formation is a rather tricky one.
The same goes for magic circles, but without professional knowledge, you can’t even know how they work, and the rules also vary depending on the creator of the circle.
It means that you can’t even touch something if you don’t know the creator’s intention.
Rather, the more you try to do it, the more it gets tangled up.
“I am not an expert in this field, but I have the power.”
A water bottle, a hammer, a box, and a flower pot.
I moved the objects connected by white light one by one.
A magical power that was not felt at first is revealed.
That’s thorough. If it had been made with magic, the demons would have noticed right away.
“People who study this kind of stuff must be incredibly smart?”
In modern society, there are people who study these formations and magic circles and actually use them.
Because efforts to research and use artifacts and special items are being made at the government level.
I should study it later if I get the chance.
That’s a story for when the time comes.
-Ddddddddd
For now, let’s focus on clearing the dungeon.
Almost done. Finally, I moved the clay doll.
This completes the formation.
-Woah, wow, wow!
An ordinary object vibrates.
Distorted space.
[The path to the altar opens.]
“yes!”
He threw his fist.
A door appeared in a wall where there was nothing.
I open the door without hesitation and go inside, and there are stairs leading down to the basement.
It’s pretty deep. Every time I take a step, the sound of my footsteps echoes.
No special traps are visible.
It could have been a bit of a boring time, but surprisingly it wasn’t.
The luminous stones embedded in the ceiling cast a soft light, and the walls of the narrow passage were painted with pictures.
Devils and angels.
Images of war and small, everyday figures, monsters, and tombstones.
A mural depicting the Battle of Cheonmachong.
Just by looking at the dynamically drawn pictures, you can tell what the situation was like at that time.
The Archduke named Karstar was talented not only at stealing but also at painting.

“There are some familiar faces.”
It wasn’t drawn very large, but it was recognizable.
That guy. I heard he participated in the Cheonma War, so I thought he’d be depicted here.
Hey, what’s that? A vector? It’s hovering next to the corpse in the mural too.
As I was looking at the mural with interest, the figures drawn larger and larger caught my eye.
Presumably the grand dukes of the demon world.
It probably wasn’t that big in reality. It was probably drawn large to symbolize power and authority.
One of the archangels sweeping the angels must be Karstad, and he created this dungeon.
If it were as big as the picture, this passage would be impassable.
Look.
“Kildereth and Fleta.”
Aren’t they both drawn the largest?
On the left, Fleta was cutting the boundary between the heavenly and demonic worlds with her sword, and on the right wall, Killdereth was growing in size and commanding the demons.
I know because I’ve met them. They’re not that big in reality. Well, I don’t know what it’s like in battle.
As I continued walking, the final stages of the war were depicted.
The hugely drawn angels struggle. So does Killdereth.
Crossing weapons, hands and feet. Wings large enough to cover the entire body are entangled.
Archangel? I thought it was probably a fight with someone who had a high position in heaven. At the very end of the passage.
“Oh.”
Atop numerous corpses, Killereth was depicted holding the severed head of an archangel.
Of course, Killdereth wasn’t all right either.
Because his whole body was soaked in blood, and even one of his wings was cut off.
It’s nice to see you like this.
He chuckled and touched the picture of Killdereth.
“hmm?”
I was able to discover one strange thing.
wings?
Did Killdereth have wings?
I don’t remember it as such. It’s vague, but if I remember correctly, there were no wings when I looked from the 10th floor.
Of course, you may keep it in your daily life.
Or maybe, like me, they aren’t real wings, but rather items.

No, that can’t be it. In the picture, the wing is torn off and blood is flowing out.
If you don’t know, just ask. Luckily, there’s a guy who knows a lot about Killerless.
I turned on the community.
[Petit Gongdu]: Man MAN! Bald man! Answer me!
Advertisements
[Nimary Baldness]: Oh, Gongdu! Are you coming up?
[Petit Gongdu]: Unfortunately, it’s only the 79th floor. Gulp… … .☆
[Nimary Bald Head]: Come up here quickly. There are some weird and good ones here! Hahahahaha!
“A weird and okay kid?”
I don’t know who that person is, but it’s clear that he’s not normal.
If it was only the balding man and not someone else who said something was weird, then it would be really weird.
Is it the opposite? If it looks weird to a weird guy, is it normal?
I don’t know the details, but I know that they’re already networking on the 80th floor.
That’s understandable, since he’s a subtly sociable guy.
Than.
[Petit Gongdu]: I have a question. Hoooook C. Does Killerless have wings?
[Nimary Baldness]: Hmm? No, I don’t think so.
[Nimary Baldness]: I learned it while getting beaten up on the 10th floor, but I’ve never seen it before.
[Petit Gongdu]: I see! Thanks for the info! I’ll be back soon!
[Nimary Bald Head]: Okay. Ah. Oh, before I go up, ask Licky to take a look at it for me… … .
[Petit Gongdu]: I don’t want to die! Then bye☆
[Nimary hair loss]: Gong… Du? Gong Du!
I turned off the community without any regrets.
You tell me to stop licking your dick, you idiot. There’s no way that’s going to work.
“I’m in a bit of danger right now.”
It’s been several days since I was trapped on the 79th floor, but I still haven’t joined.
He said he was wandering around because he had some work to do.
I’m sure the top hunters are having a hard time feeding them right now.
Not only that, he’s secretly asking Lick when he’ll be able to raise his divine power, but since I’m not here right now, he’s just saying that it’ll be possible soon, without any specific date.
I also have a promise, so I want to go quickly, but I have to pack what I need to pack.
Besides, I still haven’t found a proper way to raise Magi.
“I looked around the field and it seems like there are still some worshippers left. What would happen if we kill them first?”
“Yeah.”
First of all, since there are demons mixed in, if you catch them, the level will go up.
I don’t know if I can raise it enough though.
Even though demons do have magic, it’s so weak compared to devils that it won’t be of much help.
After I find this treasure, I’ll have to ask Framberg or Helldying Kitchen.
-Keeeeeek
I opened the door at the end of the stairs.
A strangely humid air greeted me, along with a musty, moldy smell.

What you see before your eyes is an altar.
I finally found it.
There were no monsters. It seems that they had no intention of preparing any traps like monsters or machines in the first place.
instead.
[Honor the great demon, Killdereth.]
On the altar was a giant demon-shaped golem.
A hollow armor sits on a throne with its head bowed.
The altar in front of him had a magic circle drawn on it, and an unknown coffin was connected to the armor golem.
[Offer an angel as a sacrifice.] [Make known the greatness of the devil.] [Those who are worthy will be tested.]
“It was something like this.”
I scratched my head.
There was no need to use the power, as the instructions for use were kindly written below the altar.
If you offer an angel as a sacrifice, its divine power will be absorbed and converted into magic.
Once you’ve collected them and activated the armor golem, the test begins.
If you think about it simply, it means that the demons who won the Heavenly Demon War are to prove their achievements by capturing and offering up angels.
“That’s bullshit. You can never do that.”
Given the circumstances, it’s nearly impossible.
At the end of the Great War of Heaven, there will still be friction with the heavens, but they should not openly attack the angels like they did during the war.
Why?
Because the wife of Killdereth, the master of demons, is an angel.
Even though he’s a traitor and all, the fact that he’s an angel doesn’t change.
Capture those of the same origin as the king’s wife and use them as sacrifices?
Well, if the angels rushed in and had no choice but to fight, then it might be one thing, but if they had been massacred on purpose, Killdereth would not have stayed still.
“It was the same in Purgatory.”
The background of this scenario is a competitive game to determine the master of the Purgatory Realm after the end of the Heavenly Demon War.
The demons fought each other to climb higher, and in the process, they encountered remnants of the Celestials, but so far, they have never sought out the remnants and started a fight with them.
It was only because they attacked first that they counterattacked.
I didn’t know this from the beginning because I had no intention of killing angels, but I learned about it as the chapter progressed.
Karsta, this guy used his brain. He was given an impossible task.
But you know what?
“Is it really necessary to kill angels to do this? Why not just pour it in?”
Demons are basically without divine powers.
Karsta hoped the demons would not come here and gave them a task they could not solve.
In other words, if you have enough divine power, it’s not that difficult.
-Wooooooooooo!
-Paaaaat!
He placed his hands on the altar and released divine power.

As the dazzling divine power poured out, the magic circle on the altar began to greedily absorb the divine power.
The speed is extremely fast.
“Hmm!”
He frowned.
It sucks more than I thought. But my divine power stat is still at 999.
Even the divine power was strengthened and the level went up.
You can do it.
furthermore.
“The harvest is better than expected?”
“Hehehe.”
I was already worried about how to obtain magic, but you prepared this device for me. Thanks to you, my worries have been reduced.
The conversion rate doesn’t seem that good, but theoretically, as long as you have enough divine power, you can produce as much magic as you want.
[Divine power is converted into magic!] [The Golem of the Test opens its eyes!]
-Jiiiiing
The golem sitting on the throne with its head bowed as the engine revved up, its eyes glowing.
Magic constantly flows in through the connected hose, filling the interior.
The empty inside of the armor was overflowing with magic, and soon most of the divine power was sucked out.
[The Golem of Exams tests your qualifications!]
-Gugugugugugu
The golem raised itself up.
It’s not that big. If it’s that size, it’s roughly 13 meters?
It’s an armor that moves while leaking smoke-like magic. It strangely resembles a Death Knight.
“Go back, go away.”
The guy pointing a huge sword at me mutters.
Go back. Are you saying that I’ll be spared if I go out now?
That’s funny.
I pulled out my divine power to the limit and turned my stiff hands.
I don’t know what it’s hiding, but that golem is the last resort to protect it.
That means they will never be an easy opponent.
Well, it’s just a golem.
“Come in quickly. I’m busy.”
Snap your fingers.
Did the provocation work?
“The price of tyranny!”
-Kwaaaaaaaang!
The Test Golem, despite its huge size, ran towards me quickly and struck down its sword.
The floor cracks and the wind pressure rushes in.
Advertisements
I avoided it as much as I could while waiting, but what is this?
“I’ll go if I get hit once.”
There is a limit to ignorance.
Phew!
The guy swings his sword horizontally.
I evaded by staying low to the ground. Then I ran towards the bastard.
First, let’s take away its mobility. It’s already so big that it’s difficult to attack with anything other than its legs.
I plan to refrain from explosions as much as possible. I came all this way, so I don’t want the dungeon to collapse because of an explosion.
[Sword] [Cutting (S) Lv.10]
He swung his sword at the bastard’s ankle.
I wanted to use my divine power, but I had already used it all up, so I ended up using magic to create a sword.
-Kagagagagagagagagak!
The sword tore through the armor and dug in.
Yeah. Even if he’s strong, he’s still just a golem.
He smirked and twisted his sword.
“I’ll finish it quickly. That way, we can both be comfortable… Huh?”
what?
The armor that had been pierced was regenerated. The sword was fixed into the armor.
[The Golem of the Test has absorbed magic.] [Armor is restored.] [Battle power increases.]
-Wooooooooooo!
The golem, its eyes shining, swung its fist at me.
