Chapter 24

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

A large door was at the bottom of a long spiral staircase.

The atmosphere feels different from before. I feel like something is waiting for me beyond the door.

“Standing in front of this door gives you a “finally we’re here” kind of feeling.”

“That’s right. I’m looking forward to what’s in the deepest part of the dungeon.”

I tried to open the door, but it doesn’t budge.

“How heavy is this door …”

“You can’t open it?”

“Maybe there is some hidden mechanism here.”

Until now, the mechanisms were relatively simple.

Some are harder to solve than the others, but more than half of the mechanisms just test you for your understanding for ancient characters.

“Funui! Funuun! …… I can’t do it. This door is unmovable like a wall. “

Fafnir tried to push the door open by slamming himself into it but soon gave up.

“Is this…”

After observing a little and noticed something.

“What !? Did you notice something!?”

“Yes, what we thought was a door, is actually just a wall.”

“What?”

[What!? So I hurt my body in vain!]

“Fafnir’s actions are not in vain. You led me to the idea that it was a wall. “

“I, I see.”

Fafnir still seemed a little unconvinced.

I continued to explain about this wall.

“The reason the wall looks like a door is that the person that made the wall uneven to look like a door.”

[eeeh, so does that mean that after all that hard work, the reward is a dead-end!?]

“I don’t know. I’ll have to look a little further to see if there is a way.”

I take a closer look at the surroundings.

I can’t find any important clues.

Not a trace of ancient characters can be found.

…… Is it really a dead end here?

I leaned against the painted wall while holding my head.

“Yun, I’m sorry. It looks like we can’t go further anymore.”

“What are you apologizing for! Noah has done a great job! You have unravelled the mystery of the ancient ruins that haven’t been solved for 10 years! It’s already a great achievement!”

“Haha … I’m glad then.”

Yun kindly said so.

I am very happy with her consideration.

But ──.

I came this far already, I wanted to unravel the mystery of this ruin.

At that same time, my vision turned white and I saw a book in the center of my vision.

A blurry white light was wrapped around the book.

I wonder what this is.

I wonder what I’m looking at?

Such a question came to my mind, but mysteriously, the book seemed to know me.

Parapara the book flips its page by itself.

And it stopped at a certain page.

There were sentences written in ancient characters.

Is this an ancient magic spellbook that was in the hidden library?

I thought, but If I look closely, it’s different.

The content isn’t about magic.

But the content looked familiar.

Arrow traps, rock traps, spear traps … etc.

What I experienced at this ancient ruin was recorded in the book.

And towards the end of the page, there was a note about the wall in front of me.

I didn’t think it was a coincidence.

It has to be something related to the wall.

I reached for the book.

Grabbing it, I instinctively cast magic.

“《Engrave》”

I erased the ancient character for “wall” that was written there.

And then put a new one──.

“《Engrave》”

I wrote an ancient character for “door”.

Then, the pages of the book started to move again.

When the book was fully closed, my vision suddenly returned to reality.

“Noah!? Are you alright!? Did you overwork yourself? I’m sorry, Noah.”

Yun, who looked worried, was looking at my face.

“Hmm, what was I doing?”

“You fainted and fell to the ground! But I’m glad that you’re safe. Let’s go home now, it’s dangerous to overdo it.”

“I see, I lost consciousness.”

I stood up and touched the wall that looked like a door.

Gogogo …….

It was as I imagined.

The wall turned into a door.

The door opened slowly when I applied force.

“Whaaat? The door wasn’t a wall!?”

[How did you do it?]

Yun and Fafnir were surprised.

But ──.

“I’ll explain it later, but we have to defeat the last boss of this ruin first.”

At the end of the book, the last boss of the ruins was drawn ── The Guardian Golem.

Unlike the Guardian Golem who we fought in the 《Garden of Puppet》, this one was in humanoid form and made with Hihiirokane.

A legendary ore that does not exist in modern times.

In the center of the circular space, an unusual golem with a scarlet luster was waiting for us.
