Chapter 164
Creeeeak!
As the knight’s armor let out an eerie metallic groan and turned its head toward them, the subordinate asked with a stiff expression.
“He-Hazel, sir. What is this?”
“It’s a Night Golem. One of the obstacles that hinders dungeon exploration.”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The armors wove their spears together like a net, launching an attack at Hazel and his subordinate.
Skreeeech!
Boom!
Quickly drawing his sword, Hazel parried one of the spears with his blade, redirecting its trajectory.
Intense sparks flew and a terrible grinding sound erupted during the process.
Step!
Hazel managed to carve out a path with just that move, escaping the area in a single bound along with his subordinate.
‘This level of difficulty right from the start?!’
Their purpose was strictly reconnaissance, so they were retreating.
However, he couldn’t shake an unsettling feeling.
At that very moment.
Thud, thud.
Khal appeared at the end of the path.
“C-Commander! It’s dangerous. Why did you come alone again?! You stubborn man!”
It was half-worry, half-nagging. Despite the subordinate shouting without a care for his own future, Khal simply raised the bracelet on his wrist with a cynical expression.
Hummmmm!
The Trigger Bracelet, shimmering with crimson mana as it charged, let out an eerie ringing sound as if it were about to explode…
Flash!
A circular wave of red mana expanded outward, and the armored knights chasing Hazel froze in their tracks.
Rumble.
Crash!
As if unable to maintain their forms any longer, the armors fell apart and crumbled completely.
