Chapter 17

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

《Garden of puppet》 is a space magic that traps those who enter.

There is only one exit in this space.

It seems to be at the base of a giant tree there.

The puppet part of the 《Garden of Puppet》is related to the existence of the Guardian Golem, a guardian who is built in to keep people from escaping.

The Guardian Golem fulfills the ordered conditions and repels anyone who is considered an enemy.

After I separated from the fairy and ran through the forest, a huge plain spread out in front of me.

The only thing that can be seen is a giant tree that is big enough to cover this sky.

A giant tree stands proudly at the end of the plain.

The golem was wandering around its roots irregularly.

The golem looked like a giant built using ores.

“Is the ore that makes up the golem Mithril? It looks kind of awkward.”

Mithril is an ore with an extremely low affinity for magic.

Mithril is very resistant to magic, and it could be said to be most mage’s worst enemy.

…… Looks like an annoying opponent.

It seems overpowered, considering its only job is to keep the fairies trapped.

Is it so important to keep the fairy trapped …?

“Fafnir, if you get any closer, you’ll be in the golem’s detection range. I think the battle will start once you get detected. “

[Hou. What’s wrong with that? I could defeat it right away.]

“But you know, I think it’s pretty strong.”

[But you don’t look worried?]

“Yup. I already know how to beat it. The golem needs to be temporarily stopped and I need to erase some of the ancient characters written on the chest.

I know about golems to some extent from ancient spellbooks.

So I already know how to beat it.

The Guardian Golem is equipped with a self-healing function, and to truly defeat it, I need to erase some characters.

[Then, let’s make my golem inoperable.]

“Because it has magic resistance, it doesn’t go well with me. Can you please?

[Leave it to me.]

Fafnir began flying at high speed towards the Golem.

Then, a high-pitched mechanical sound was emitted, and the golem’s head glowed red.

It was a sign that the golem has detected a hostile reaction.

The golem rushed towards Fafnir.

The ground of its path sunk and large footprints were made.

They collided.

[Fugu!]

Fafnir lost power and was frightened for a moment.

The Golem did not miss the opportunity.

It raised its right arm and swung it down.

There was a roaring sound.

“Fafnirrrrr!”

There was a big crater on the ground.

Fafnir shouldn’t be done in with that blow.

Was it my misjudgment?

The moment I thought so, my vision was shrouded in bright light.

[Don’t think a pile of stones can beat me!]

The small Fafnir returned to his original form and pushed back the golem’s swinging arm.

I’m glad! Fafnir seems to have been safe.

[I will show you my true power.]

Fafnir swung his right leg vigorously toward the golem.

There is a louder roar than when the golem hit him

Along with that, the size of the crater on the ground was more than double that of the Golem.

[Noah, is this okay?]

“Oh, it’s enough”

I got on the chest of a golem lying in the center of the crater.

Crouching, I started to work on modifying the characters on the golem’s chest.

Engraved on the golem’s chest is a character that means “truth.”

By engraving this character the golem will have life and move.

But if I erase the part on the left, the word will mean “death” and this will cause the golem to stop functioning altogether.

“《Erase print》”

I use the ancient magic of 《Erase print》 to erase part of the ancient character.

Carefully erase the part on the far left.

This work requires magic manipulation, so it requires a lot of concentration.

“Huh, this should do the trick.”

I wiped off the sweat that was dripping off my forehead and sat on the golem’s chest.

“Fafnir, are you injured?”

[No]

“Oh, you’re back in a small figure again.”

[This is easier and better]

“Hmm, your head is a little injured.”

I held my right hand over Fafnir’s head.

“── 《healing》”

Surrounded by warm white light, Fafnir’s injury was quickly healed.

“… mmm … It helps”

“You’re welcome. Even so, Fafnir is insanely strong. I was surprised that you killed that Guardian Golem in an instant. Why did you beg for your life before?”

[What are you talking about? Noah is overwhelmingly stronger than me.]

“Eh? That’s not true. I think the Guardian Golem would have been a tough opponent if I fought?”

[I see, you have too little experience in combat and you don’t fully understand your own abilities. For the time being, I will not fight until Noah realizes his strength.]

“I feel like I’m being overestimated.”

“Come on, how about it?”

Fafnir smiled provocatively.

While lightly scratching my cheeks with my fingers, I gazed at the base of the giant tree protected by the Guardian Golem.

There was a 《Dimensional Gap》.

If I go in there, I will be able to get out of this space.
