Uragan, the golem of Rhodes, approached cautiously.
About 100 meters before the abandoned mine, it disappears.

Uragan is making good progress.

Jin felt a little disappointed, though it was natural since it was not a dungeon.
Five minutes passed.
Uragan is advancing cautiously, and has reached about 200 meters below the surface.

Rhodes, Tomax, Duke Blou and the others are all astonished by Uragan's report.
"There is a ward at the end of the tunnel that I don't know about. ...... This is definitely someone's secret stronghold."
Since the duke, the lord of the house, did not know about it, it could be assumed that it had been set up without his permission, i.e., with malicious intent.

The blower floater, with Duke Blou, Tomax, and Irminah on board, immediately took off and flew at full speed toward the Blue Lands.

Rhodes ordered Uragan to stand by.
And they waited.

In the meantime, Jin had contacted the old man through Reiko, and had the old man conduct an advance reconnaissance using a "peeper" telescope.

After 30 minutes of waiting, 10 blow floaters and 2 airships appeared in the sky.
"Oh, here they come!"

It seems that the duke intends to control the area while monitoring it from the air using blow floaters.
The blow floaters are equipped with three guards each, and if they see any enemy escaping, they are supposed to rush to the scene and capture them.
Although that will not be the case: .......

They quietly deployed around the tunnel.
"Well, Mr. Rhodes, would you please move your golem onward?

At Duke Blou's request, Rhodes instructed Uragan to proceed. However, do not proceed blindly, but as before, with caution.

The warding has been passed. Nothing so far.
Jin and the others guessed that it was not a defensive ward.

Uragan, who had disappeared by stealth, was slowly advancing underground, using a sound deadening ward as well.
However, the wards he had just passed seemed to be of the sensing type, and there was movement in the back of the room he was aiming for.

Uragan breaks his "stealth" spell. At the same time, Uragan takes a large step forward and strikes the enemy golem with his fist.
A dull metallic sound is heard, and the enemy golem falls over, its chest concaved. It seems to be weaker than the one sent to
However, the enemy golem seems to be made of sturdy stuff, and it rises up again, despite the dent in its chest, and comes toward Uragan. However, its movements were more awkward than before.

Uragan struck again with his fist, this time in the same place.

It was a prototype, but the effect was a little weak.
