Avoid Yandere Constellation - Chapter 51-1

Why did he die? I did everything I could with CPR. I don’t understand.

Isn’t CPR an emergency treatment to save someone’s life? Yeah. This isn’t my fault.

It’s those damn cultists. I tried my best to save his life.

He just happened to die right before my eyes. Yeah, yeah, I’m just rationalizing to myself.

[Goddess of Destiny is amazed at your shamelessness.]

Constellation sent me a message. What nonsense. I didn’t kill him. I just wanted to save him!

I feel unjustly accused for some reason, but that’s not important right now.

What’s important is that based on the wounds of this adventurer, whose name I don’t even know, it’s clear that his two companions went inside and threw him as a sacrifice to the monsters.

It’s no wonder, considering the messy state of the monster corpses around here, unlike the ones from before. It’s clear that this guy was rebelling against the monsters.

Then they must be nearby. I got up slowly and turned my head to the two.

“… Let’s move now.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

“Okay, master.”

The two of them seemed rather unfazed, perhaps because they had seen scenes of someone dying quite a lot.

Well, it was natural for Riche, who had been doing assassinations for a long time.

Kersey, too, could understand who has seen the members of the cult slaughtering her dog-beast tribe.

And besides, they weren’t even close to that guy in the first place.

We walked cautiously, keeping an eye on our surroundings while thinking such cruel thoughts. Then, all of a sudden, a closed door appeared.

Those guys must be inside this.

The room in front of us is undoubtedly the boss’s room.

That would make sense, considering that I could hear them fighting fiercely from inside. It seems like they haven’t defeated the boss monster yet.

“Riche, what do you think is happening inside the room?”

“I think someone is trying to defeat the boss.”

Riche was thinking the same way as me.

Then… it’s best to wait, right?

There’s no need to open the door right away. It’s easier to take advantage of them when they fight with the boss monster until their strenth is depleted and then fight them fairly.

Surely they wouldn’t use that, would they? It feels ominous for some reason, but it’s best not to move forward for now.

“Then let’s wait a bit and go in. It’s not polite to interfere in the middle of a fight.”

“When has the master ever been polite?”

“Yeah, I’m only not to you.”

“Hey!”

Kersey, always reacting in the same way.

I ignored her reaction and focused on the sounds of fighting inside the room, adjusting the volume to the maximum.

***

Meanwhile, at that moment, brothers Guy and Dai, who were chosen by the Church’s command, were facing the monster in front of them.

More accurately, they were in a state of not knowing whatever if there was Kane and his group outside the room, as they were avoiding the attack of a statue known in the world as a goddess.

The statue came at them and swung its fist. Guy raised both hands to barely block it.

“Ack! S*it!”

However, even though he blocked it, Guy rolled once on the floor. Dai did not pay attention to Guy’s situation and swung his dagger at the statue, through a gap.

-Clang!

But the statue was so hard like vibranium in some movies, and the dagger bounced off. Dai frowned as he felt pain that made him think his hand was tearing apart.

“Tsk! It’s so damn hard.”

He took a step back.

“Guy, are you okay?”

“Ugh! No, brother. This thing is incredibly hard.”

“I can tell that without you saying it.”

Guy stood up and glared at the statue in front of him.

“Brother, I’ll distract it, so you go and take the item behind that statue.”

“Huh? It doesn’t suit you. You’re sacrificing yourself for once?”

“It’s the only way. We’ll die If we don’t do this. Besides, there’s no way we can survive against that statue in the first place.”

Dai nodded in agreement.

“Well, it is undoubtedly strong, but It’s not like there’s no way to defeat It.”

That’s not all. Unless you cross a certain line. It won’t attack. Hmm, I see. Perhaps it was created just to protect the item inside the tressure.

If it’s about winning against the statue in a fight, it’s uncertain. But for Dai, who has lived together for a lifetime, it wouldn’t be difficult to break through the statue and take the item inside the treasure chest.

The two had already spent roughly 25 years together, so they just looked at each other without saying a word. Even though they only met each other’s gaze, it seemed like they were having a conversation.

They simultaneously lifted their heads and took a step forward, as if they were waiting for this moment.

Both of them moved at the same time, but the statue kicked towards the one who crossed the line even by 0.1mm first. And that person was none other than Guy.

Knowing that the statue was coming for him, Guy drew a shield from the dimensional space. The statue stretched his fist towards the steel shield in front of him.

-BANGG!

Did It hit it with It’s Fist? Guy barely withstood the statue’s attack while biting his lower lip. He briefly glanced at his companion Dai.

“What?!”

When did that statue move?! The statue suddenly appeared behind Dai, who didn’t know when it had moved. Guy used body reinforcements to throw his shield like a boomerang.

Whoosh!

The shield flew towards the statue.

Thud!

Crazy! The statue turned its head back and caught the shield with one hand. In the meantime, Guy kicked the statue to prevent it from approaching Dai.

Meanwhile, Dai, while Guy was momentarily distracted, ran with all his might towards the treasure chest at the end of the room.

Creak!

As expected, the statue was not the only thing guarding the treasure chest. As he was running, the floor briefly descended and ten arrows flew in both directions.

Whoosh!

Tch! There are traps too. Dai gritted his teeth and took out another dagger from his pocket dimension. He dodged and destroyed all the arrows.

The arrows fell to the ground like trash. In the meantime, Dai closed the distance between himself and the treasure chest even faster.

Countless traps flew at him as he ran. There were poison-tipped knives standing upright under the ground, in addition to the arrows, and the statue even attacked Dai.

However, despite all of these countless attacks, Dai finally reached the treasure chest.

“Phew.”

Finally made it. Dai briefly turned his head back. The statue was still struggling to reach him, but kept getting blocked by Guy.

Dai turned his head back to the treasure chest.

“What in the world…”

What could be here… Typically, dungeons don’t have this many traps, monsters, or boss monsters. Generally, if there are many traps, the other two are weak.

However, this dungeon is strange. Until the boss room, monsters were lurking everywhere, and there were as many traps as there were monsters.

Usually, in that case, the boss monster would be weak, but it was unexpectedly the strongest among the ones encountered so far.

However, it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t mean much since it only attacks those who approach to take the treasure chest, with no chance of survival.

“Anyway, I have to grab what’s inside quickly and get out.”

With that thought, Dai opened the treasure chest and widened his eyes in disbelieve as he saw what was inside.

“What the hell…”
