It was only after the younger sister entered and the other guards entered that they entered the gate. During that short time, the guards were completing their vigilance.
‘Amazing…’
Looking around, it was like a jungle full of tall trees.
“Wait a minute.”
The younger sister used her ability to scan the surrounding space.
“what?”
The young man frowned.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“There is no response from life?”
“Couldn’t it be a gate that comes out of a weapon like a golem?”
“It might be possible.”
Young Ha has once again demonstrated his ability.
“First of all, there’s nothing around… I can feel only one wavelength from far away?”
“One?”
“Uh, it’s too far away to be perfect, but I can only feel one.”
“This is the first time I’ve ever had something like this… Maybe it didn’t come out of the gate because there was only one of them?”
“It’s something you don’t know. First of all, there’s no response from the presumed enemy, so you can let go of your guard and search the surroundings.”
At the end of the year, the guards started taking pictures here and there and collecting materials.
“Didn’t you notice we came in? They don’t move at all?”
“Has this ever happened to you?”
I glanced at the Heavenly Demon, but she shook her head, perhaps in a situation that even the Heavenly Demon had never experienced.
“There are a lot of strange things, obviously a tropical rain forest, but the monsters that appear are inorganic, and the fact that there’s only one monster reaction…”
The younger placed a hand on his chin and furrowed his brow.
“I’ll go back to the monster. You’re guarding the guards in case you don’t know.”
“Are you okay?”
“I’ll take the rookie too. Don’t worry too much, I’ll be back as soon as it seems dangerous or if I see a monster moving towards you.”
“Can I go too?”
When I raised one hand and asked, Park Ji-hyun stopped me first.
“No! A place where there might be some danger, but a non-awakened person trying to move?”
“Even though I’m weak in pure force, I can use a pistol to keep me in check. If it’s a monster, I’ll be much better than a halfway Awakener.”
“Okay. Let’s go together.”
“Younger!”
The younger sister glared at Park Ji-hyun with sharp eyes.
“This is an emergency. Are you disobeying your superior’s orders?”
“… sorry.”
“I said I was taking them because I had an idea, all three of them will come back safely, so don’t worry too much.”
As the younger sister moved, the Heavenly Demon and I followed.
“Have a safe trip.”
“All right!”
After shouting loudly at Park Ji-hyun, I continued walking.
The atmosphere calmed down a bit as we walked until we could no longer see the guards.
“what’s the matter?”
“I’m not sure, but I think one golem absorbed the other golems. The wavelength is much bigger than the other golems. I once saw a golem appear at a B-level gate, and at that time I caught the phenomenon of the golem eating another golem. I’ve done it before. I think something similar to that happened this time.”
“A golem catches and eats a golem?”
“It’s a metaphor. You broke another golem and absorbed its core.”
The young man continued to speak with a hard face.
“Most of the golems that appear inside the gate are presumed to have been made by the same person, so they don’t fight among themselves. At that time, since the gate was so wide, the creator absorbed the core while fighting with other golems, but here, for a different reason, the golems I think I absorbed this core.”
“How strong do you think it would be?”
“Did I mention it was a B-level gate? The golem that appeared there was the one that absorbed 100 golem cores. And when golems appear at the E-level gate, usually around 200 golems with broken cores appear. No matter how good you are, you can’t be more than a B-class.”
After hearing the younger’s explanation, I felt much more at ease.
If it’s B-class, it’s a level that Liu Ying can catch. It shouldn’t be that difficult for younger people.
“I do not think so.”
“Yes?”
“Do you know what the gate looks like right before it closes?”
“No, golems don’t enter the gate separately to proceed with the work because the value of the by-product is low and the surrounding environment is not so good.”
“The golems remaining at the gate restore their own cores. I remember that there was a time in China when an E-class golem gate was left unattended and then a D-class golem appeared and made a big fuss. What are you going to do with this, you must be restoring the core.”
“You mean a golem with 200 cores…”
“If you’re really good at it, there’s a good chance you’ll be in the A class.”
‘Grade A…’
Still, I wasn’t too worried.
I wouldn’t have known if I was younger, but because the Heavenly Demon was by my side.
“Is it a situation where it makes sense for A-rank monsters to come out of E-rank gates?”
“It’s not at all impossible. The gate is an unknown place. The power of hundreds, even thousands of E-class monsters are gathered into one, and even if the golem’s strength rises to A-class, this is beyond the law!” It’s not quite possible.”
“I’ve said it before, but I will only use the power of an average Class A Awakener. Unless a really dangerous situation arises, it’s better not to expect my skills as a Heavenly Horse.”
“A-class is enough. I’m not a combat-class Awakener, but I’m an A-class Awakener, and my brother’s bullets will be helpful in its own way. If you’re with an ordinary A-class Awakener, you can easily catch a golem.”
The younger man spoke with a very comfortable expression.
“Well, I’m skeptical of even catching the golem in the first place.
“Yes, sit still in your seat.”
“If you don’t touch it, it’s likely to stay still, so why take the risk?”
“I have to accept it. If you leave that golem alone, you’ll be stuck here for 24 hours. And if you’re going to fight, fighting inside the gate will do much less damage than fighting outside the gate and creating a danger.”
“It’s 24 hours… aren’t you guys spare anyway? I think it’s okay to keep waiting?”
“Today is the day Heavenly Demon-nim sleeps with my brother, right? Are you sleeping alone at my brother’s house and watching over the monsters outside?”
The Heavenly Demon frowned as if in agony, and immediately changed her words.
“I guess it’s better to catch it, since we’re not the only ones on standby 24 hours, and the other guards are also wasting their time watching.”
After all, is it best to use me to persuade the Heavenly Demon?
In the situation where I decided to catch it like that, I walked all the way and arrived at a desert made of stones out of the rain forest before I knew it.
You may feel that this is nonsense, but it was a hot, dry desert with endless stretches of sandstone-like stones.
“Sandstone desert right after the rainforest… I haven’t entered the gate once or twice, but it’s strange every time I see it…”
“The gate doesn’t change just because we feel weird, so let’s grab it and finish it quickly.”
The young man let out a small sigh.
“It’s easy to catch golems in the rain forest, but it’s not easy to catch golems that appear in places like this. They must be made of the same material as sandstone. If you don’t destroy them by aiming for the core, they’ll hide underground.”
“Can you tell me where the nucleus is?”
“I can find out. It’s just that I can’t penetrate it with my aggression… Heavenly Demon Sister, can you aim and attack exactly where I pointed?”
“Of course. Are there A-class Awakeners who can’t do that?”
Hey… I also have one, but if you fire it with ammunition equipped for class A monsters, you’ll be able to break it.
‘I don’t know. Let’s leave it to them for now.’
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the kids fighting.
“It looks like he noticed us. So far, there hasn’t been any response, but seeing as he responds as soon as he steps on the sandstone, it seems that the territorialization is already over.”
“It must be quite tricky to hide in the depths of the desert.”
“Isn’t it? But he probably won’t hide. Golems are obsessed with defending their territory, so if we attack a structure guarded by a golem, it’s bound to come out in front of us.”
The Heavenly Demon took out the sword and prepared it so that the younger sister could use her abilities at any time.
I also picked up the pistol and held it in both hands.
“If he moves, can we know his specs?”
“Yes, it seems to be a guy with about 300 golem cores connected, but it seems to be a decent A-rank monster rather than a pull-up. It looks like a defensive golem that protects a certain structure, not an offensive golem. It’s extremely rare to get out of the gate, so there are a lot of strong guys coming out compared to that grade, but this time, all the stars of the stars came together, and a guy with an A rank came out.”
“It’s something you can catch.”
“Leave it to me.”
Suddenly, a fist made of sand protruded from under the young man’s feet.
