Chapter 21 - Smash! (Part 4)

I entered the door and then closed it, while inside, the three skeleton knights ran and approached Gustav.

"You guys?! Are you really?! "

One of the skeleton knights tapped Gustav's shoulder as if to say 'don't continue to mention their names', and Gustav cried and hugged them.

"Who is that person? No, something felt different about him. "

Sister Kim who saw a man hugging the three skeleton knights while crying, with a strange expression seeing that she asked me.

"Eee... That's the ghost knight guarding this room, you could say he's the boss of this dungeon... "

"WHAT?!!! "

"Because of that, I would like to ask you to purify it. "

"Okay... " sister Kim held her head and called out to them, "Are the four of you ready to go?"

Hearing sister Kim's words, Gustav wiped away his tears and looked at sister Kim.

"Can you do it to me first? I don't want to see my friends disappear from my sight again. "

"Very well... O god of light, guide the lost souls and lead them to the beyond. Light magic, Divine Enlightment. "

The light began to shine on Gustav and slowly enveloped him, then it rose upwards like a tunnel of light.

"Thank you..."

And when the light disappeared.

""WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?! ""

Sister Kim and I were surprised to see Gustav kneeling down and folding his hands like someone praying.

"I can't seem to purify it. There is something binding him in this world. "

"HEEE....??!!! "

"But this is the first time I've seen a ghost as real as this. "

"Ah, the master who was staring over there did this to me?"

"Oi Hyuga! What else are you doing?"

I slightly changed the fact about me using Ki and said that this was due to the void element I had, after which we thought about how to take care of Gustav. One of the skeleton knights took a paper and pen from the next room and wrote something down and handed it to me.

'How about you make us as your familiars. '

"Are you willing to be my Familiar?! "

Gustav, who heard that suggestion, immediately shook my hand and swung it.

'Having a Familiar this strong, it feels like I don't need to bother with the fight. '

"You think that having them as your Familiars will help you avoid battles? I have something to tell you before you think otherwise. If the militants from the church find out, they might hunt you down. And to be honest, the head priest and I can't pretend not to know. If they really come looking for you. ", sister Kim raised her hands.

"Eeee!! Militant party??! "

"You know, our church worships the goddess of life as one of the main goddesses? The militants won't let go of people who make contracts with the undead. "

"Grrr... Troublesome party...... Wait a minute!", I remembered something and checked Gustav using the appraisal.

"Ah! He's already become my Familiar... "

" .... ...... ...", sister Kim looked at me with a face that seemed to have lost hope and with a face full of sympathy said, "Then you should think about how to hide them. Alright, I'll rest with the others and quickly take care of this dungeon core. "

Sister Kim left us holding her head indicating that all this stuff was giving her a headache, I approached the large crystal and used the appraisal,

(Dungeon Magic Crystal - Massive (Curses): Magic crystals are very large and sometimes fool people who see them into thinking this is the core of the dungeon. It's more like an energy source for a dungeon. So you should look for the actual core of the dungeon if you find this object)

And it turned out that this thing was not the core of the dungeon, I removed the magic crystal and put it still inside the mist-filled barrier made of Holy water and then immediately put it in the Item box to store it.

After I did that, the aura and atmosphere in the dungeon began to change. Behind the large magic crystal, there was something box-shaped with a pattern like blood vessels and when I touched it, it felt like a heartbeat and when I examined it, and yes, this is the core of this dungeon.

(Dungeon Core, Beta Type: A dungeon core that is connected to a dungeon boss and can only be destroyed if the dungeon boss and core are all destroyed.)

' Perhaps it was this object and the blessing on Gustav's status that kept him bound to this world and unable to go to the other side. '

Right after that, Gustav and I found the treasures scattered in the next room, money, some weapons and other equipment, books, scrolls, gemstones and also magic tools.

What caught my attention the most were the gate-like objects, one was large and the other three were smaller, but I could check them out later. For now, with the help of the three skeleton knights, we checked and listed all the treasures in the room.

"44 gold and 44 silver, why are the numbers of money in this dungeon always unique. The books and scrolls, I will check further, then the magic items and magic tools will also be checked more thoroughly. Then this armor and equipment, most of them are ordinary, only the condition is a bit better than the ones worn by the skeletons. Hmm..."

"Hyuga, I feel something disturbing from behind that shelf. "

I looked over the shelves Gustav had shown me and saw several pieces of weapons and equipment such as armor and other items that had a different aura from the previous ones, and I felt something strange about those weapons. When I checked them with the appraisal,

"Yikes... They're all cursed, so I'll leave the weapons here for now. Gustav, I'll go back to the others, you stay here, I'll come back later. "

I visited the others and seeing Gili preparing the food, I quickly confirmed their condition and fortunately no one was seriously injured. With five people with healing abilities, I felt at ease when I saw that everyone was in good condition and only exhausted from the previous battle.

I told them of the treasures I found inside and honestly said it probably wouldn't be much, everyone said it didn't matter.

We ate together, some people toasting with water and telling stories of their battles. I saw a strange sight when Bjorn laughed merrily while clutching one of the skeleton knights.

Once everyone decided to rest Bjorn came over to me.

"Young master, what about him in the future? ", while pointing at the skeleton knight next to him.

"I plan to have sister Kim have them purified... " After that I approached and whispered, "To be honest, I'm not sure what to do, I'll tell you later. But keep this a secret from the others. ".

Bjorn smiled gently, it was the first time I saw him like this, his stern face with a thick beard that even made him look tough and his character that was opposite to his appearance who was always the first to laugh the loudest with his easy-going nature, but this time the atmosphere exuded was much different than usual.

"I used to have a best friend. The one who always laughed the loudest of all. For one reason or another, we could not meet again. When I saw him laugh, I felt a resemblance to my old friend, although of course he wasn't that great that he could become a knight. It's just that, it feels like he and my best friend really have the same vibe. Hahaha... "
