Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game - Chapter 97
97 – Ancient Dungeon (2)
The story about the ancient magic kingdom has never been revealed even when playing the game. There was just speculation among users that it might be related to a buff related to wizards that would happen someday.
At least at this point, very few dungeons of the ancient magic kingdom have been excavated, and the number of knights who have faced them is also very small.
If you don’t prepare sufficiently for the dungeon, it’s natural to suffer the opposite.
Of course, this does not apply to my party.
No, rather, it is a valuable place that can be used as a source of valuable experience points.
“Lena! Infiltrate from behind! Eleanor, Stella! Get the golem’s attention in front! Sharon and Meron attack from the left and right respectively!”
-Kaang–!!
-Kwaaang—!!!!!

A huge golem about 5 meters in size hits the ground where Stella and Eleanor were with its large arms.
Lena dug in behind him and swung her sword, but it seemed that the damage inflicted on the golem was not that strong yet.
Lena stepped back with the sound of hard objects hitting each other, and the golem tried to turn her head in the direction of the attack.
“Where are you looking! “Your opponent is this way!!”
-Kaang!!
However, such a movement was soon stopped by Stella’s spear attack.
Although Stella was the most specialized in horseback riding, she was also capable of playing the role of an auxiliary tank holding a spear.
And Eleanor, who was even called a human rights character by users of ‘Carnia Chronicles’, showed an outstanding performance as she was the most talented among the five.
“Wait! Stella, it’s dangerous!!”
“Oh… !”
The moment the golem quickly swings its arm made of a huge pile of stones towards Stella,
-Kwaaang!!
“Hmm… !”
“Lady Marchen… !”
“Eleanor! Are you okay?!”
“It’s okay. Everyone, please find the core faster than that.”
“Okay! “Just leave it to me!!”
Eleanor’s huge shield blocked the golem’s blow.
She let out only a brief sigh and continued to skillfully defend or avoid the golem’s powerful blows.
Eleanor’s tanking. Stella’s assistant. And the continued dealing of Lena, Sharon, and Meron.
For several minutes, the power of the knight party, with properly divided roles, was unleashed against the giant golems.
“Eat this!!”
-Paching!!
-Kuuung!!!
After a long battle, Meron placed her sword needle from her left side into the hole in the golem created by Lena, succeeding in breaking the golem’s core.
As soon as her core was destroyed, the golem lost her body’s balance and collapsed.
Our party members were able to rest only after hearing the sound of the remains of the destroyed building falling to the ground instead of death.
“aaah–!! “This is the 5th one!!!”
“I’m dying, I’m dying… “What is so hard about a rock?”
I smiled as I saw Sharon and Meron sighing in relief as they sat down.
‘If that’s the case, it’s truly amazing.’
Regardless of discussing the current state, it is no exaggeration to say that their fighting sense truly shines.
All I did was tell them that golems have a weak point called the core, and deal with the other golems that attacked them.
-Cow wow—!!
With Aunt Lana, who defeated one more golem over there by herself.
“Phew! It’s softer than I thought. “Isn’t this woman dead yet, John?”
“That’s amazing. “The golems that appear here are by no means weak monsters.”
“This is it! “It’s nothing compared to the crazy crowd of barbarians!”
Aunt Lana’s expression brightened, perhaps because it had been a long time since she had a proper sweaty battle.
The golem, which was now nothing more than a pile of stones, had holes the size of a human head in various places. These are the traces left by the stabbing of Sartian swordsmanship, which is characterized by the speed of the sword.
“As expected, Professor… The monsters that all 5 of us had to attack at once, all by ourselves… “
“You even caught it in a much shorter time than us, right?”
“That is the sword I will have to overcome someday…” “
“……”
While Sharon and Meron were admiring, Lena and Eleanor were showing a fighting spirit in their eyes.
Both of them are talented enough to become masters within a not very long time, so it must have been because they felt and saw something.
“Anyway, I have some regrets, my lord.”
“Huh? “What are you talking about?”
“Wouldn’t it have been easier to attack if there had been a long-distance attack? It would have been nice if we could have saved the wizards… “
After sighing, Stella responded as if she felt something was regretful, and I told her why I didn’t bring a wizard.
“There is no need for a wizard here. “If you don’t reach at least 5 circles, you won’t be able to hit that golem with magic.”
“Yes, yes?! Such nonsense! Are you saying that inside that golem, there is a manasim method that contains the anti-magic power of knights?”
“It’s probably something similar. So, wizards are buying golem cores from the ancient magic kingdom at high prices. Even if they are broken.”
“How on earth does Lord John know that… “
“I read it in a book that told me about this place, in a book. So, I don’t know the exact principle either.”
“I see… “
In the first place, this dungeon takes no damage at all from attacks by wizards of circle 4 or lower. I don’t know why, but they pretended to take at least a level 5 magician to deal damage.
But there was no way to save such a high-circle wizard right now, so we had no choice but to come for now.
Of course, we had to give the kids experience points, so even if there was a wizard like that, we would have come by ourselves.
“Okay, let’s extract the cores first and move forward again. “I will go to the front while exploring.”
We made our way through the dungeon step by step, picking up materials that could make a lot of extra money if sold to wizards.

“I guess this is the last room?”
“Already?! John, hasn’t it only been about half a day (6 hours) since we came in? “When I looked at the hourglass earlier, it seemed like that much time had passed.”
“Time is one thing, but the number of golems was not small. “There are more than a dozen cores in that backpack?”
After killing the golems step by step, we stood in front of a huge door with a large symbol on it.
The pattern was a pattern engraved on the location of the boss monster that I had seen several times in the game whenever I went through the ancient magic kingdom dungeon.
The red inverted pentagram was radiating an ominous force, but no knight was intimidated.
No, he just reacted as if he was more surprised at the thought of reaching the room with the boss monster so quickly.
“Already arrived?”
“We definitely defeated… No, to be exact, the number of golems that Johan and Professor Sartien defeated was higher than that… “
“I guess we really grew too. Well, it was a little easier than when I first faced the golem.”
It makes me feel good to see that everyone is reacting that it is possible, even though they are surprised.
Definitely, as I went through this dungeon, I saw that my movements and skills became faster and more sophisticated, so there must have been significant stat growth.
If they had something like a status window, the numbers would probably have gone up considerably.
“Come on, let’s go in quickly. If I do well, I might be able to go home again this evening.”
“Wow! “Johan, then we can go to Yohan’s mansion before we go back to the dormitory, right?”
“Of course. Oh, when it’s over, should we all go back and have an after-party? “To commemorate everyone completing the dungeon together for the first time.”
“Of course, of course!! “I will go unconditionally, even if I die!!”
When the topic of the mansion came up, tension rose rapidly, led by Sharon and Meron, and Stella and Eleanor also agreed to attend the after-party. Of course, Lena and Aunt Lana were the same.
The rooms are fully furnished, and even if twice the number of people come, there will be enough places to sleep, so there is no problem.
“Okay then, let’s go in! “It’s the last time, so focus more!”
After giving the order to rush in, I pushed open the huge door from the front.
-Kugugugugu….
The heavy stone door slowly opened, scraping against the floor.
Soon, what comes into view is a wide cavity with several red torches hanging there.
And there was a large black golem standing tall in the center of the cavity.
The moment we step into the cavity, a red light glows strangely from what appears to be the head of a golem that is approximately 8 meters in size.
-Keee—ing!!
“Look over there!! Topside!”
“Damn, there is something at the end!”
-Kugugugugu… !
The giant golem began to raise its lowered arms, and everyone who realized that this was a sign of an attack raised their weapons.
“Everyone prepare for battle!! Forming their formation, Lena and Aunt Lana’s biggest goal is to catch the golem! “Sharon and Meron are in the role of assisting the vanguard this time!”
It was the moment when the Ivorys party, which had begun operating in earnest, attacked the dungeon boss for the first time.
