The Saintess Serious Mode 3

[I was a little, surprised.]

I thought you were done in there as well!

Rin was safe.

I thought it mightve been a big loss for a large hole to have been opened on its body, but it appears that Rin [Opened the hole itself]. As expected of a slime, its even able to do emergency evasion methods like that huh.

Though thanks to that, we have a huge hole in the rooms ceiling now.

[When she, held out that hand, I got a bad, feeling.]

As expected of Rin. You got my respect, boss.

[Kukuku, I am, strong, after all.]

You could say that again. Still, that saintess is also something. She somehow evaded Rins attacks while chanting, managing to let off that cannon-like magic at close range. I dont think Id be able to do that even if I knew Id be fine dying.

[Im a bit, hungry. Kehma, mind getting, eaten?]

Nn? Sure, go for it.

[Nom. Om nom]

Rin quickly gulped down the messenger golem. It feels like its been a while since that happened. Also, it wasnt whether or not Id get eaten, but if I minded it huh. Me getting eaten was already done and decided on huh well, its fine. Yep.

Looks like the saintess wont be able to defeat Rin after all. Mine dungeons protector is a wall! [1]

I might raise a flag if I keep going, so lets stop there.

For now, the saintess doesnt look like shes going to come back today, so how about I get back to the gargoyle mass production stuff? The main thing Im working on right now is fire arm gargoyles that have thirty fire magic formations engraved onto their arms. Ive made ten of them so far.

Using an iron golem as the base, I hybridized it with clay shoulders so that they wouldnt damage themselves with the heat Their iron arms will be super hot because of the fire, so theyll burn stuff when they touch it. Fufufu. I also took the chance and polished them. Itll be awesome if they roared while glowing a hot red.

Although it burns through a stupid amount of magic stones. Its to the point that it takes 10 DP worth of magic stones for their arms to be active for an hour. Because Im using practically identical magic formations, they take up 300 DP per.

Looks like theyll be able to do various things too. Expand your dreams, gargoyles [2]

Huh? But hasnt it become a physical attack rather than a magical attack after all?

Hmmm, I could try it out if I summoned a ghost-type monster. Lets give it a shot when the saintess seal expires.

The second day that the saintess was taking it seriously. So that she could confirm the black wolfs death, the saintess carefully looked into the roomand the black wolf looked back.

The saintess hurriedly took a distance from the room. To put it in a way easier to understand, she ran away.

She didnt hesitate at all. She knew firsthand that she would be dead if she delayed her judgement at all.

Hah, haah, haah

After taking a sufficient distance, the saintess calmed her rough breathing.

Impossible, was the wolf immortal? The gaping hole from the day before had closed as well. She thought about things like that.

There was nothing she could do but kill it immediately. Maybe it would die if she destroyed its head?

Is it an immortal beast? Still, as long as it was a monster that belonged to the dungeon, its healing should be slowed through the effects of [Treaty].

If its a dungeon boss, all the more

Just then, the saintess realized that something was off.

There was nothing in common between the demons that appeared in the dungeon and the black wolf.

That was the usual trend for dungeons.

For example, fire-attributed, demi-human-type, or beast-type.

Right, that way, you could even call a dungeons monsters the dungeon boss subordinates.

The monsters that appeared in this dungeonother than the jellies that appeared in placescould be roughly divided into being either goblins or golems.

Both kinds of monsters were close to being earth-attributed.

The demi-human goblins and the bio-magical golems. Their commonality was a bit weak, but

in a place like that, there suddenly appeared a dark-attributed beast type.

Going with the usual course of events, it wouldnt be odd for the boss monster to be a goblin or a golem. Something with a humanoid shape for example. Its not like the boss monster has to share things in common with all of the demons, but at the very least, shed never heard of something like a boss that didnt share anything in common with the other monsters.

Dark-attributed. Beast-type. Overwhelming physical strength. Immortal resilience. She couldnt find anything in common. It was obviously unnatural.

Perhaps, no, its its not without precedence, its possible

The saintess thought.

(Perhaps, is that black wolf a field monster that has no relation to the dungeon?)

She felt that was the correct answer.

According to the preparatory audit, this dungeon named [Ordinary Cave] originally only had goblins. It went through a transition phase, becoming able to also have traps and golems.

Moreover, magic swords as well.

Considering the course of events, it was a pretty possible thing that it was just a field monster unrelated to the dungeon that took up residence here.

The original encounter was near the second floor, causing the saintess to be summoned over. She heard from the guilds report that it had destroyed the [Gate of Wisdom].

In other words, wasnt that alone enough proof that it came from outside of the dungeon?

Using that conclusion that black wolf was probably entirely unrelated to the dungeon.

In that case, [Treaty] wouldnt have any effect on the black wolf.

It was a very worrisome fact, but at the same time, that meant that since it wasnt related to the dungeon, that also meant it wouldnt revive if she completed defeated it.

Then shed only have to go all the way this time.

The saintess made her decision.

She began the incantation for [Ray of Judgement]. In exchange for its strength versus wicked existences, this magic had an incredibly lengthy incantation. It was natural as something stronger than the upper class to be so long, but due to its incantations length, it wasnt suited for combat. Instead, it was often used as a [Warning] of the light god punishing sins.

But the saintess held no doubt that it wouldnt be effective
