Versatile: Alternate World
Chapter 496 The Blind, The Mute, And The Deaf (III)Entering the mansion where the tracker is pointing out is our first set of action to find the targets, but as we approach, the original inhabitants of the place, the Living Armors, have finally appeared.
[Living Armor]
Level 75
HP: 100,000/100,000
Type: Construct
They are the same type as a golem but the method of killing them fast is different compared to the golem where you can just destroy or pull out their cores. As for the Living Armor, you can only defeat it once you sever its contact with its controller. If you reduce its life without cutting off the connection between the armor and the controller, it will regenerate its health and return again to fight.
"Hey guys, I will demonstrate how to kill this thing and stop it from reviving. So once I finish the demonstration, you guys will be the ones who will kill them. This will benefit and give you experience points while also practicing how to fight and unleash your abilities to the best of your capabilities."
To make things understandable for them, I didn't draw my weapon and faced the Living Armor head-on. When the living armor decided to attack, I immediately dodged it and made sure that I will be able to quickly arrive at the back of the living armor.
"To kill a living armor, you first need to find a way to reach its back and catch it off guard. It might be like the living armor is quite strong and hard to beat but to kill it instantly without the risk of it reviving, then you have to do this."
Before the living armor can make a second chance to turn around, I punched its helmet off, revealing an empty hollow area around the armor. The only thing left behind on the hollow area of the armor is a thin white thread that seems to keep the head armor attached.
"Knocking down the headpiece armor will reveal a thin white thread that seems to be attached to the head. Grab that, and tear it apart using your hands."
And while saying that, I grab the thread and rip it apart easily. The moment it was done, the living armor immediately crumbled, and the armor that fell to the ground rusted and disintegrated into the air.
"That's it. You don't even need to use your skills and weapons to kill, you just need to make sure to have good flexibility and good reaction skills that would allow you to respond more quickly against unexpected movements."
The four started clapping after knowing the method. They are quite impressed with how I did it and so started to imitate how I did it. They struggled to fight them for a while but soon get the hang of it. And to my surprise, the first person that managed to kill one Living Armor is actually Koji which I was not expecting at first since I thought it would be either Gin or Shana since they seemed to be more to have the mindset of a gamer and can adapt as quick as possible.
They all managed to finish up all their enemies and killed them after Koji killed his own target. Now that they know how to kill one, we entered the mansion.
All of the Living Armors are no longer a match and threat against the four as they killed them easily. I already knew that they are capable so with them clearing up all of the attacking Living Armors, we have smooth progress inside the mansion.
Dwelling a lot deeper into the mansion, we soon found an underground staircase that leads deeper into the mansion's interior. Nothing changed since in the past and the layout never changed but since we haven't seen the three targets inside, that means there might be some changes underground and I already have an idea that they might be down there and they are currently doing some things that are happening in the city right now.
I asked Tina to shine up a light using her magic spell and we descended the stairs. With Tina's magic, the darkness that is enveloping the underground lit up and we can see what is up ahead. And what welcomed us...
"This smell... this is the same exact smell when we entered the city! The pungent rotting smell of flesh and matter! Does that mean they are coming in here?!" Shana covered her nose.
"It looks like it is indeed the source. It wasn't this bad on the surface but the smell down here is just quite bad for the nose." Gin is trying to hold out his breath.
"I just noticed it just now but it seems the Living Armor is nonexistent here underground. Perhaps there is something here that stopped the Living Armors from spawning?" Yna speculated.
Just like what Yna mentioned, there should be Living Armors spawning in here. They are crawling all around the mansion even underground so that shouldn't be the case that they don't exist here unless something prevented their spawning rates underground.
We explored the underground and Tina stops us from going forward.
"Master, let's stop for a bit. I have to test up something since I have some doubts about what is up ahead."
"Are you detecting something, Tina?" I asked.
"I don't really detect it, more like I have experienced something similar before which is why I want to try to test something whether my suspicion is on point."
She ordered us to back out from her for a bit to test things out. She spread her butterfly wings and revealed her 7 colored wings that have been transformed after we fought back during the battle against the king in Aquagius.
She performed one of her spells that I have not seen before. It wasn't flashy or anything. She just flapped her rainbow wings on the road, spreading some of the dust that she usually uses her abilities with. I don't know what she calls that but I don't think that it was pixie dust. Once a good amount of dust has already been spread out, she hides back her wings and aimed her forefinger at the dust.
"O dust of my ancestors and kin, reveal all of the hidden paths and hidden things that have been stopping us from seeing the truth of the world! Reveal and show yourself!"
"What the heck is going on, Tina?!" Lucia is also confused as to why Tina is doing something especially since she didn't detect anything.
Once the lights coming from the dust that she used her abilities into died down, we soon found out the main reason she did that.
The underground is not made out of concrete and tiles with black and white designs, it was made with flesh and bones, just like how the monster we fought during the class change looked like.
