Golden Trial 2

Author: with this its the 100th chapter

We reached the hundreds.

I hope for your continued support even after this.

That name and that race. No way you are-..

what are you talking about?

Is the golden knight mistaking me for someone else? He stood up and the carefree atmosphere he had earlier disappeared and put his hand on the handle of his sword. With his aura the air trembled. I could feel my cheeks rattling. This knighthe sure is strong.

Was it for 10 seconds that we glared at each other? The one who stopped this tense situation was the knight who abruptly started it.

.No, its different. What a m i s l e a d i n g n a m e you have. I thought you were the reincarnation of her

her.?

Aan? You, even though you have the same race, you have no idea?

Yeah

Even if you ask me looking so doubtful, I dont know anything I dont know. Even if we have the same race, Im a player and Im not purely a kijin. I heard a lot from Kohaku regarding Kishin, so I know moderately about that but, even Kohaku didnt really have a reaction like that after hearing my name too. Even Shuten, that part doesnt change.

Now that I think about it, I suddenly remembered something. if I remember it right, during the first day when I fought the knights of Siren, Hash. She should also, If Im right, said something about my name too. Im sure it was.greeted by a strong ones name was it?

Hey, the Sukuna you knew, was that person strong?

Nn? Let me see.its true that she was strong, but that one had an oni always be her side which is really really strong after all

A really really strong Oni?

Yeah. A strong oni like a monster, a really strong oni that even our Master couldnt win against. Obviously you know the name Shuten right?

Shuten. So that name came out at this moment is it? I hold back myself from wanting to say it, and go with the flow of his conversation. Just like as If I was a kijin that was born in this world.

It seems like the knight before me, he doesnt seem to be able to differentiate whether I am a player or not. Though in the first place Im not even sure if he knows the existence of the players. Even so, if he misunderstands that then, that itself is better for me. That way maybe I can get more info.

I know. After she is like a god to us

I see. Well, That place and this place has a different flow of time so, I dont really know how long has it been since I was able to fight that person but you know.the fact that you dont know about means that There is a reason why it must not known

I see. Well, you have a point. anyway thanks

Im kinda the same too but, you too sure do take things easily. Well, if you can ask your grandpa or granny about it then they might tell you about it

I thought that Kohaku might have not just said anything about it but, thinking about it properly, its not like Kohahu herself might not even know about it. After all, even Kohaku among the kijins, she is one of the youngones. So actually her not knowing about it might be a possibility. And then at the same time..the fact that Shuten said nothing about it purposely, is without a mistake a true fact. Well, I dont really know when I will be able to meet her but, if I do, Ill try asking her. The one who had the Sukuna as name same as me, about the oni who was together side by side with Shuten.

Now then, Im not here to talk something about that so, lets get on main point

Please do

My name is Gold. Im one of the 12 knights serving Siren-sama and the 2nd placed strongest. And why is someone as strong as me here..do you know why?

Its for the trial isnt it?

He clearly looked a bit smug when he asked it, though I just answered without thinking too much about it.

Well, youre half right. But also the other half of it has a different reason. Before you fight, Its my job to tell you about the one you guys needs to defeat

The one we need to defeat.?

Thats right. In the first place, this labyrinth you see, its a huge hole that was made to invade your world, and the god on your side forcefully closed it up in the shape of a gate. But the hole is too big to be completely closed up so that it cant really be closed up at all. Even a god has limits to their power. Even right now, after 3 days the gate will probably break

Fumu fumu

What he is saying is the reason for the existence of the gate that was in the middle of the town. I dont really get it but, that one was by the god on our side..most likely the God of Creation, kinda made it to prevent the invasion. If I were to say it in other words, the monsters inside the gate are the ones supposed to come and invade our world isnt it?

Thats a good point. Those monsters you see, its nothing but a defense system that was born from the resource of our Masters power. Since it connected to your world so they only took a similar appearance to the monsters of your world. Well, if its just a defense system then us 12 knights too are the same

Hmmm. defense system, what are you protecting? Is it your master?

Nope, what they are protecting is just one monster. You see our Master, for the invasion she sent that monster. And that monster was one of the most valued and favored, the one I said earlier, the enemy you guys need to defeat

mumumumu

Id like to sort out what we talked about. About the gate, its a closed up hole that Golds master made so that they could invade this world. The labyrinths Monsters, they are something to protect the monster sent by the master, and they are a defense system born from the power of the master. The only enemy we need to defeat is just that one monster. Something like this I guess.

hmm..that means that you guys came here to invade, and since that entrance got closed up, you were waiting for it to be torn open up right?

To be blunt, its as you say

Then, we only need to find that monster within 3 days and defeat it by then, is it?

Not like that. What you guys need to do is that you must make a lot of people clear the trial as much as you can

Hold it right there, coming up to this point, we are back in that topic?

The words I said which I was quite confident about were denied right away, I felt a bit down. Something like this is out of my skill set. Rin-chan help me.

My Master you see, Master fully understand that if we start invading your world its guaranteed that the gate would be closed. And obviously, we would hide our precious monster where no one can get in contact with it

Ah, you certainly got a point there

But from what he has been saying, this master of his.though I think its most likely Siren but, it seems like this is not their first invasion. And to the point that no matter how much they invade, every time they were probably somewhat repelled back. And while obviously, they probably understood that the situation would become like this, in fact it also happened this time too.

Ah, I see. I just noticed it now. This time we players in this game are the ones to clear the dungeon but, up until now the NPCs must have the same duty. Not like us, those NPCs who only have one life. To defeat that precious monster that Siren has. Most likely Kohaku too. Or maybe the one I met at Fias.Melty too.

But an area where no one can get into, creating something crazy like that obviously has a price for that. Its not like you there is only merit in everything

So you mean that there is a demerit?

In WLO to get a really big return from a power, there is a suitable risk in it. Garou(ravenous wolf)is something easy to understand. Its the type where the merit and demerit is easy to understand. The Judgement that Rin-chan used too, to activate it there was a suitable price and condition imposed on it.

And of course its not like all things have demerits. For example, like equipment, as long as they are not cursed they can only just give merits. If its equipment that was made from the extent of your resource then, it can be permitted to be no matter how powerful it is. My Moon Camalia -Solo is a good example. That hair ornament that incarnates the soul of the named, it has this crazy ability of SP consumption halved, there wasnt any demerit looking demerits in it at all.

Well, if I were to say it in other words, if you use something not that great of a material then, if you put a demerit on it then, you might be able to make it so that it would produce more effect than the materials you used. And of course, thats why cursed equipment have their abilities raised up so they could display great power. Either way, this rule doesnt only apply to this world but also to Siren who lives in a different world it seems. And the moment they entered this world, they might have been put in the same rules.

The demerit my master has is, just a little bit before the gate gets destroyed she can only release the different dimension. Just that, to get to that different dimension, there is another condition. And that is

Is to clear the trial, is what youre saying right?

To be accurate, is having the proof that you have cleared the quest, when the time has arrived you would be forcefully transferred to the different dimension

Releasing it just before the happening, most players shouldnt be able to get into it. And moreover you need the proof that have passed the trial or else you wont be able to fight, its like there are two restrictions that it cant really be a demerit I think. Though, if he says that as long as you pass the trial then you will be able to certainly go to the monsters nest, then the restriction works out balancedis it?

However with this the mystery is rather solved. But the mystery yet had more mysteries in it that we dont really know about , and there are mountains of things I want to ask about. Unfortunately, it seems like he is gradually reaching his limit after all.

Hahahaha, looks like we can get along really well. You really understand me well

Yeah, cause youre so easy to understand.

.Just in case, this trial has different variety you can choose from. It will be boring if a melee fighter like me fights against a magic user after all. Just that, warriors like you, just hast to be with this sword

With one hand, Gold drew out the great sword that he was carrying. The handle of the sword was gold itself but, the blade part was blue. Orichalcum. Though as one its pressure is kinda light. Mostly likely its a different kind of metal, my instincts told me so.

In the end, Im just a muscle brain. Talking directly with fists is way faster. And moreover Id like to directly fight against you

Fumu. Well, I thought it would come to this either way

I drew out the Kagenui I was carrying, and kept up my guard. I cant put down my guard. After all the strength of the knight right before me who calls himself Gold, is incomparable against the other knights of Siren that I fought up until now after all.

There are a lot of things I want to ask but.for now lets do it

Yeah, If you are still alive then Ill answer

There werent any more words exchanged after those. After one breath, the sword and the metal club clashed. To the resounding sound of hard metal clashing, the curtains to the trial had opened up.

Author: Muscle brain vs muscle brain

It was the same for Nana who was also excited to fight rather than talk.

Ogre chapter 100 end
