‘Caught.’
Aim the gun, and move my strength to form a path connecting the muzzle and the point of impact.
Although the inside of the pot is blocked by an unknown force, neither my hand nor my ability can reach it, but it was enough to maximize the hit rate just by making a path until just before that.
As a result, as expected, the plastic bullets rode the path I made with telekinesis as fast as possible, lodged in the body of the Earthworm and its surroundings, and finally succeeded in killing it.
“After.”
I lowered the muzzle and inspected the scene. My heart is still beating. I never thought a monster like that would come out.
From my point of view, it’s just a disgusting bug, but from the perspective of the residents in the flower pot, it’s a monster of astonishing size.
In reality, the dwarves who ran away screaming, and the expedition team that came down from the mountain in a hurry all hurriedly gathered by the beast earthworm.
‘What does it have to do with it?’
I glanced at the flowerpot. It wasn’t just a pot, but the pot that the Dwarves put a lot of effort into creating a satisfactory environment.
First of all, the beast earthworm that appeared this time is incomparable in size and strength to ants, pill bugs, and rice moths. It’s like the difficulty jumped up all at once, so it’s not natural.
The only thing different from before is the effort required to decorate the pots, so maybe that’s the cause. Of course, not sure.
‘A male?’
I definitely remembered the sign that was shown along with the name of the beast earthworm when it appeared. As far as I know, earthworms are hermaphrodites in which the male and female are in the same body.
It is unlikely that it will be the same as the existing creature as it has been transformed into a beast, but if it is marked as male anyway, it means that there is also a female.
‘In there.’
A burrow excavated by an earthworm is clearly pierced at the bottom of the mountain.
A dungeon found on the mountainside, it is unknown whether it is connected to the mountain palace or not, but there may be more earthworms like this in it.
“–! —!”
Of course, that’s not something you need to worry about right now.
First of all, the residents in the pots had to collect the corpses of earthworms, which were gigantic compared to their bodies.
“–, —.”
“—.”
When the chaos subsided to some extent. Serenian and the Dwarves are talking about something with serious faces.
I wasn’t discussing the removal of the body. The corpse of the giant beast earthworm was in the process of being dismantled piece by piece with countless fairy ants clinging to it.
The fairy ants only took the flesh and intestines of the monster earthworm, leaving behind the by-products such as hard armor and teeth, as well as the bullets I fired.
As the ants continued to break the food into pieces in a relay, within a few hours, all of the earthworm carcasses were gone, leaving only by-products.
‘I’m sure you’ll be shocked, but if you stop here, there’s no turning back.’
The meeting between Serenian and the Dwarves actually has a certain ending. In the end, in order to fight, you have to move forward.
Aaron, who actually leads the dwarves, began to say something to his people who followed him. At the appeal, as if to follow him, the Dwarves raised their weapons and shouted, revealing their will to fight.
It wouldn’t be strange if he was defeated when he saw the scene right before, but is it because of his experience in the great war or because Aaron’s leadership is so outstanding?
“Are there really more?”
I liked their decision, so I moved the drone. Maybe Serenian will try through Ren, but I can’t see what Ren sees.
I moved the drone and headed to the hole at the bottom of the mountain where the earthworm had penetrated. I sent a drone with a flashlight into the place that seemed to have turned into a huge cave, and I sighed at the sight unfolding before my eyes.
‘I can’t go here.’
The structure of the cave was close to the shape of a letter. The Demon Beast Earthworm, which dug a nearly vertical burrow underground, made a burrow in a straight line and came out through the mountain.
We continued to send drones down the huge hole and finally found the bottom of the burrow, but it was only one of countless burrows filled underground.
It didn’t seem like the Dwarves would be able to fight well against that gigantic beast in their stronghold.
‘A better way.’
After returning the drone, I also began to worry in front of the flower pot. How can I help them overcome this difficulty… Well?

“What is it? What did an immature child like you come here to do? Are you on an errand?”
“Don’t ignore it. There are things only I can do.”
The confusion subsided, and rather, after seeing the heaven-sent guardian strike and the corpse of the monster earthworm, they burned their fighting spirit, but the atmosphere was still uneasy at that time.
While Aaron and Serenian were planning the operation, the dwarf Liam, who was in command of the other dwarves, sneered at Ren when he came to this place after being called by Serenian. However, Ren laughed at him with a face that said, “What do you know?”
“Is there something only you can do? What are you?”
“…I know when I see it.”
As he opened his eyes, Ren’s shoulders rose along with the bridge of his nose, and he inadvertently tried to mention the spirit of the sky, but he covered his mouth. Memories of being scolded by Serenian forcibly came to mind due to the recent teasing.
“I called him.”
Still, Ren didn’t need to supplement the explanation. Serenian, who came up behind them, admitted that he had called Ren.
“Now you will know why he called.”
“You can use the divine beast in the sky to see the hole where the beast came from.”
Of course, the reason she called Ren was because of the drone. Holding the drone’s controller, Ren closed his itchy mouth and sent the blue-bodied drone flying away, and everyone stared blankly at it.
However, unlike others, Ren, who can see what the drone sees through the liquid crystal on the controller, sent the drone flying into the hole dug by the monster earthworm with a firm face.
“Ah.”
“It must be difficult here. It is too deep.”
And as a result, he learned about the identity and structure of the cave that Seunghyeon had observed, and everyone who saw the scene, including Serenian, decided that they could not enter there.
“You have to turn around and go to the place you found on the mountainside. Because labyrinths definitely exist.”
Serenian was convinced that the entrance he had just discovered was the only way. Her world number was already speaking to her. She said that an evil energy targeting her was emanating from there.
As a high elf, she was able to sense something about her through communion with the World Tree, and that was the dungeon core.

“If the method is decided, I will not hesitate. We must put an end to it before our resolve is shattered.”
Aaron immediately prepared the dwarven army. Having been devastated by the attack of an unexpected giant monster, they were prepared to fight more valiantly to make up for the shame they felt then.
“Ha, but then, what about the hole that the monster earthworm came through? What if a new monster emerges from within while the troops are away?”
However, not all problems were resolved. A huge hole was still opening its mouth at them.
Everyone knows that the blessings of the divine spirits are not always together. Heaven helps those who help themselves. That was one of the things Serenian emphasized the most.
“Have a seat.”
At that time, a disparate beep sound rang from Serenian’s waist.
Everyone paid attention to her, but she hurriedly left her seat, clutching the walkie-talkie around her waist in her hand.
“This, this can really move the black bull…”
“Your mission is serious, Ren. If another monster attacks by any chance, you must stop it.”
The content of the radio is that Seung-hyeon is giving them a present.
Serenian took care of it that came down from the sky and passed it on to Ren, who was most familiar with the controller.
That’s none other than Battlebot 001’s controller. Seung-hyeon, who gave up the control of the Battlebot to the elves by consuming one scaling opportunity, made it possible to use it in the event of an unexpected enemy appearance.
“I can’t believe it. What the hell is this!”
“Big, big. The mansion moves! Is it a golem!?”
When Ren climbed onto the Battlebot and dragged it from the flower pot where Pia’s mansion was, the dwarves who saw it for the first time widened their eyes in amazement.
Small and agile drones are actually a little unusual in appearance and not very noticeable, but Battlebots are different.
With a huge body comparable to a decent mansion, it moved by rolling on wheels, and delivered an impact equal to that of a monster earthworm.
“Don’t worry, if that monster crawls out again, the divine beast in the sky will crush it himself. Now we focus on just one.”
“Oh no, what the heck is this…”
When Serenian saw Ren aboard the Battlebot, her ears reddened by the attention of the dwarves gathered everywhere, she turned around.
“How far does the power of the sky god extend?”
“How dare I know. What is certain is that we must deal with the enemies of the Labyrinth, where His grace is hard to reach. That is, to repay him soon.”
Even Aaron was taken aback when he saw her Battlebot, so he couldn’t help but ask her.
To him, she only answered with a faint smile.
