Young God Divine Armaments Chapter 34

Chapter 34 – The Ruin’s Mysteries Calls for an even more Bizarre Mysteries

“Nnn~ I think there is something in the right path”

“Onii-san, be careful desu! Treasure box is in the top three spot where a trap is usually set desu. Let me check it first desu!”

“STOP!! The walls and floors around here are strange!”

“That is a small sized, doesn’t seems to be a human modeled…… a type of golem right? I shall eliminate it immediately”

“This path…… seems to be installed with magic to mess our sense of direction. It is a kind of ‘sense obstruction magic’ to be exact. I will try to negate it with my magic”

“This goes here, that goes there, and this goes….. It’s open desu!”

Even with the ruin massive size, Renya party continues to advance steadily with an extraordinary speed. And it doesn’t even need to be mentioned but of course, Renya didn’t make any contribution at all toward the party. He is the anchor so his main job is to protect the team from any danger coming from behind while also keep an eye for the entire party condition. He can’t just get off from his position to steal some merit easily as it will disturb the party formation which is putting the wheel before the chart.

But then again what other thing he can do? Any kind of danger got detected by Floria as soon as those dangers about to approach them. Renya become like a commander that does nothing else besides giving orders to his underling. He wants to kick back for a while at first so he comes up with this formation but for him to not doing anything at all until this long is not something that he even predicts.

“Okay well, that is definitely not something that you need to understand. In fact don’t ever think about it. But then again, I don’t think that Renya can be a himo. Because Brenda will definitely whip you up to shape again in no time”

It was an idle talk between Renya and Floria to pass times while they do their duty of night watch while the others are resting after the first day of exploration.

Because Renya’s divine power is sealed inside this ruin, they are somewhat worried that they would met many difficulties in their exploration and that they wouldn’t be able to solved danger that they might encounter but the exploration went smoothly betraying their expectation. It was also thanks to the fair exploration that they even have time to chat idly like this.

And then this ruin seems just like what Renya imagines, a dungeon that structure continuously goes down to the underground. From his divine sensing from the outside, Renya knows that each floor of this ruin isn’t that huge but this ruin does reach to an incredible depth. Who knows how much floor there is until the last lowest floor.

“In the first place why in this kind of man-made dungeon, or well there’s a highly chance that this dungeon is god-made one, have treasure chest in the first place? There even treasure chest in almost every dead end there is that make it more baffling”

“Nope. It would be impossible for any trespasser to come here in the first place anyway. This place is enclosed by steep mountain range remember? And to top it off, this place is also totally forgotten from history. No normal beings would even think of coming here”

Therese nods to Renya’s logical reasoning.

Even if there is one, there are no idiots that would just start challenging something that have a high danger level like a untouched ruin where no one knows what awaits them inside. Exploration will only be done if the merit could cover most of the demerit. If the demerit and risk are higher but they still going then it is just the same as doing suicide.

“Maybe the creator only creates this dungeon because it was their hobby or something like that”

The portion of trap rigged treasure chests is bigger than the one without. Thanks to Therese succeeding in disarming them, none of them managed to do any damage but that already scary enough for any normal person. When Renya hear that the creator might sets up those kinds of lethal traps as a hobby, he can only imagine that person as someone who has a lot loose screw in his brain. He understand that trespasser should be dealt with no mercy but if that creator really is creating this out of his hobby, why he didn’t make a simpler trap instead of this complicated-hard to create-lethal trap. He can only complain about it deep inside his heart.

After they get down on the 8th stairs, what await in front of them is not another floor of dungeon but a spacious hall.

Renya immediately can read what kind of event that will come after this.

“That must be ‘it’ right?”

Sparks of mana scattered around the magic circle like a mini thunder. With that, ‘something’ suddenly appears in the middle of that magic circle.

According to Renya’s knowledge when he still in earth, that monster, the minotaur, is a monster that comes from the Greek mythology that depicted as the guardian of a great labyrinth. That minotaur high stature of 3 meters is enough for it to look down on Renya and his party. That muscular minotaur body and that giant great axe that it wield already reveal its identity as a power fighter that will fight upfront in close range. Normal human will definitely overawed by its frightful appearance as its approach you.

But it was a misfortune for that minotaur that the people gather in front of him is not in the least normal.

From what Brenda says in her monologue, Renya can guess that the myth about minotaur between earth and this world is pretty much the same in the naming and place of origin. He’s been finding some myth and legend in this world that is somehow similar to the one from earth. Because of Brenda monologue, he doesn’t need to bother himself asking. Then again, he really doesn’t have any time to think any idle thought as the minotaur approach them madly.

Anyhow, Renya has always been a spectator in this exploration. He was able to reconfirm how reliable his party member is because of this event but he thinks that his pride as a man won’t forgive him if he keeps on being a himo like this.

He sees his chance to show his reliability to his party member. He just simply needs to face the minotaur from up front, battle it like usual, and win like usual.

If the war god doesn’t come out at time like this then who will?

Without saying anything, Renya make hand signal saying to leave this to me. He then silently moves forward to meet the minotaur.

“Those that strain you are my commandment! Be wrapped up in the twilight and prostrate yourself! The inescapable strangling darkness 「Night Crucifixion」!”

The view of it just as bizarre as how a snake monster constricts its prey, rendering them immobile while seeping their strength slowly.

The minotaur frantically tries to free itself from the jet black rope but to no avail. What worse, the longer it tangled inside the rope, the weaker it will become because of the rope enervating attribute making it even more impossible to get free. Such a nightmarish combo makes this divine armament the best one in the field of capturing a target without killing it.

But the situation right now is not a capturing but subjugation. Renya then goes to concentrate his will into the next divine armament.

With that in mind, Renya concentrate his will into his own world. And from the depth of his world, a single spear manifests.

Renya spins the short spear lightly with his right hand and then he take a javelin throwing posture. His fighting spirit slowly rises as he gets into throwing posture.

“Dance within the robe of light! You just need to simply pierce the enemies that block your path! Assault Spear of the Unyielding Valkyrie 「Geirölul」!”

The minotaur doesn’t even have any chance to scream as most of its upper body was vanquished by Geirölul beam at that instant. The lower half of the minotaur body that was still left intact then soon also turned into dust and vanished silently without any trace left. The fact that the monster doesn’t left behind any corpse means that it was a kind of being that created by the mean of illusion magic that have the ability to affects things physically.

Well, rather than saying that Renya wants to show off his power, the truth is, from the start he doesn’t willing to seriously face the boss that blocks their way after they explored this far inside the ruin. Renya just don’t want to give more burden to the girls that have worked their hardest while exploring so he choose to help lessen their burden a bit by fighting that enemy which is not even worth fighting for him. He already knew from the start that even if he doesn’t fight it, the other party member can beat the boss easily too. It was just him being considerate to the girls.

They somehow made it this far in exploration thanks to the overpowered party member skill.

And in the end they somehow defeated the boss that guarding this place thanks to the power of god.

If the dungeon creator still present, that person might cry from knowing such over the top group had easily trample their way inside the dungeon he/she created.

As expected Renya had accumulated some stress because he can’t use his divine power freely like usual. He still can’t release it by rampaging around but it seems that crushing his enemy with his full power projectile throw has reduced his stress quite a bit.

“N~~, I don’t feel anything dangerous so it probably alright”

“…… What… is this?”

“…… Why is there a western styled house in the place of the ship bridge?......”

Author notes: You think it will become a hard fight? Nope, it won’t!

Being a himo is really great right (what?)
