Good luck to you all.

I'll take care of it!

"Gow!

"Shah!

　At Lasse's words of support, the small demons howled fearlessly.
　They were battle-type demons selected to defeat the golem that was hiding underground.
　Normally, with a few exceptions, the bigger the battle demons are, the stronger the battle demons are.
　But the entrance to the basement where the golem hides is limited in size due to its shape.
　Therefore, the number of demons that can be sent underground is limited.
The demons heading to the basement are the black dog that can move freely in the shadows, the fire lizard salamander, and lastly, Lizardman's zeld.

Don't do anything! If you think you're in trouble, run for your life! If it doesn't work, we'll think of something else.

"Don't worry about it. We, like the Golem, will take care of it ourselves!

　Zerdo enthusiastically dives through a hidden entrance into the basement.
　Then Braggadoc, and finally Salamander.

Really, I want you to be careful.

　The

You're late.　

As the salamander comes down last, Zeldo, who had come down earlier, hits the floor with a stone spear thrust in frustration.

'As a servant of the Lord, it would be the appointment of a squire to respond swiftly!

　But the salamander is a stranger.
　Salamanders are more like spirits than demons.
　Therefore, the practices of humanoid creatures were of no importance to them.

What's that attitude!　When you live in a herd, it's only natural to follow the rules of the herd!

　The lizardmen, the lizardmen of the flock, and their chief, Zeldo, show anger at the salamander's attitude.
　Maybe the fact that they are also reptilian demons makes him feel an inbreeding hatred.

''Gawd!

　And then the black dog barks.

Noo⁉

"⁉

　When Zeldo and Salamander turned around at the sound of Kuro Dog's cry, they saw something huge approaching with heavy footsteps from deep in the passage.

'There you are. This is the end of the story. From now on, we will act according to the Lord's orders!

"Shah!

　The salamander barks knowingly.
　Meanwhile, the owner of the footsteps draws nearer.
　And by the lamplight of the salamander's fire, its true identity will be revealed.

"So this is the golem.

To Zerdo's surprise, the golem raises its arms above its head and lets out a yell.
Let's go!

　First Zeldo charged at the golem.
　The first to move was a golem with a sword and shield.
　It catches Zeldo's attack with its large shield.
　Then, as he swung his spear to counterattack, a fireball struck the golem in the face.
The salamander's fireball attack!
But to the inorganic golem, the salamander's attack was not much of a threat.
The golem understood this, and it ignored the salamander and attacked Zerdo.
But the salamander doesn't care that the attack doesn't work, and it just keeps on shooting fireballs at the golems.
But the incomprehensible attack won't stop the golems.
The golem with the staff that was waiting at the back releases magic from the staff aimed at Zerudo.
It was a huge fireball that was almost twice as big as the Salamander's fireball.

"Whoa!

　Zeldo rushes to avoid it.
　If it weren't for the information that Kobold had been caught by surprise, Zeldo would have been attacked in the same way.
Evading the attack would have been difficult in such a narrow underground passage.
A fire attack carried out without regard to the damage to their allies in the confines of the basement.
It was a reckless battle that could only be fought by a golem that did not know death.
　The battle situation was at an overwhelming disadvantage.
　Only Zerdo fights, not the Salamander's attack.
　Your opponent is strong and will attack without regard for the damage to your allies.
　But aren't we forgetting something?

　Yes, the golems forgot.
　No, you weren't even close to the right halfway mark.

　Suddenly the golem with the staff recoils.

"Gasp!

　With a roar, the golem shook again, and a black shadow appeared behind them and snatched the staff from their hands.
　Then the black shadow landed beside Zerdo.

"Hmmm, nice work!

　It was Kuro Dog.
　He passed through the shadow of the golem created by the fireballs that the salamander fired everywhere, and appeared right behind the golem.
　Then he grabs the wand from behind and steals the opponent's logistical abilities.
　That was the shadow-crossing strategy that Lasse had devised to defeat the golem with the least amount of force.
　The golem is swinging its arms around like it's broken, but it doesn't seem to be attacking you.

It seems to be the single-functional golem that the Lord was talking about.

　Single function type golem, it is a golem that only does the predetermined action.
　Since it can only perform the predetermined actions, it is a famous golem that the development cost is very low, but when it cannot perform the predetermined actions, it becomes useless at once.
　These golems were often in support roles whose only role was to activate magic in the rear.


　Lasse guessed that this golem was such a single-functional golem, based on his previous combat experience.
　This is another strategy that Lasse's military experience could be used in.

"All right!　I'm going to make this decision in one fell swoop!

　Zerdo thrusts his spear toward the golem.
　But the golem in the vanguard is steadfastly attacking with its shield and sword.
　Our weapons are too heavy and large for Kuro Dog to steal them.
　And since front-line golems are more likely to lose their weapons in heavy combat, they had the wisdom to devise other means of fighting as soon as they took them.
　But that too was expected by Lasse.
　Again through the shadows and from behind Kuro Dog is met behind the golem.
　But here Kuro Dog doesn't attack the golem, he moves away and observes the golem from behind.
　And for a few minutes he watches it move around in a battle with Zeld.
　Suddenly Kuro Dog leaps onto the golem's back.

"Gawgaw!

　Kuro Dog screaming as if to teach him something.
　The golem chases its tail and tries to pull Kurodog down on its back, whirling around as it chases its own tail.
　But Kuro Dog dexterously avoids the golem's attack.
　Meanwhile, a lizardman approaches from the dark and jumps onto the golem's back.

GAW!

　Kuro Dog cracks the golem's neck with his right paw.

"There!

　It attacks the neck like a spear slamming down repeatedly while holding onto the golem to prevent Zerdo from being knocked off.
　It's a cursory attack, as if he's striking a flea instead of a spear with the tip of his spear.
　The golem shifts its attention from Kuro Dog to Zeld.
　But at this point Kuro Dog gets off the golem and begins to attack it with his hard, thick claws.
　Then it turns its attention back to itself.
　For a moment the golem hesitates between attacking Kurodog and Zeld.
　In the end, that hesitation made the difference between the fight and the war.

　The next moment, the golem collapses like a puppet out of control.

Good!　It's working!

　While riding the golem, Zeldo let out a victory roar.
　On his hand, on the tip of his spear, there were letters written.
　One of the letters was scraped off, and when the remaining letters were read, the word 'death' was written on it.
