Chapter 97: 97 – A New Cave.

We started down the stairs again. It was very deep, but it didn't reach the level of the first stairs, after a few minutes we had reached the bottom, and arriving there we discovered why the environment was so cold.

As soon as we reached the bottom, a corridor completely made of ice had appeared. Just like the hallway, we found last time, but this time it was completely made of ice and had no doors.

The lighting was done only by our magic, it was dark and there was no light source.

"At least it's not as cold as last time." One of the adventurers said.

"Yes, I think we can handle it, let's move on." We started walking down the hall. The floor was a bit slippery as before, so we were very careful.

We continued walking for a while, it was a long and very tight corridor, we had to walk in a row so that we could move on.

"It looks like we're almost there, there's a light up front." I was in front of everyone along with Riehol, so we were the first to see that light.

My heart started to race as I approached the exit, I was sure we would stop in another room made of ice like that.

And that's exactly what happened.

As soon as we left, we found another huge room made of ice, but this one was completely different from the first. It wasn't like another world, the room was smaller and had some amazing stuff.

A huge throne was in front of us, and on it sat a person. I actually couldn't tell if it was a human or a monster, it was the same person I had seen before.

But there wasn't just this thing in this place.

On either side of the throne, a huge ice statue stood holding great swords. They were statues of knights, and I thought I saw those things moving.

Not just two statues, but the six statues that were in the room. There were two on the left side, and two on the right side of the room.

They were all the same, statues of knights wearing war armor. They all held huge swords that were nearly two meters long.

The statues were probably five meters high.

That figure sitting on the great throne looked like an insignificant being beside the statues.

I keep saying "That figure" because I didn't know exactly what it was. His whole body was encased in a large ice armor with lots of details and thorns, the only thing I could see was his red eyes that glowed in the hole made in the helmet.

"Hey, what's going on here?" One of the adventurers said as he turned around, there the exit had again been closed.

"What's going on, those statues haven't moved?" Another adventurer was almost starting to cry as he looked at the six statues.

Man, if these things decided to attack, we would be dead in no time.

"Welcome, gentlemen." Ignoring all the commotion, the figure who was sitting on the throne began to speak. The voice was deep and had a lot of power, just by listening to it I almost fell to the ground and knelt in front of that person.

It was like I was in the presence of the king himself.

"I've been watching you guys for a while, but this was boring, so I decided to bring you here. You know, it was a little complicated to create this room in such a short time."

"Which? Did you bring us here?" I turned to him and asked.

"Hmm? Can you tell me your name?" He got up from his throne that was a few meters high and jumped to the ground, making a big crack in the ice.

"Leofald."

"Leofald... What a strange name, tell me Leofald, what are you doing here?" He approached me slowly. From the distance, before I thought he was short, but this thing was over two meters tall.

Once he got close enough, I could see every detail of his armor. She was completely made of ice, her hands had only claws, not fingers, just sharp claws.

His entire chest had thicker ice protection, and his legs were thick, anyone who got kicked by that thing would die.

Aside from its huge body, the magical power this thing released was out of the ordinary, it was like I was standing in front of an S-RANK adventurer... No, it's like I was standing in front of a demon king.

I started to shiver instantly and my companions backed away in alarm as their eyes widened.

"We were forced to go in here to see what was inside, we didn't intend to do anything else."

"I see, and did you manage to find anything?"

"No, we didn't take anything and we didn't find anything," I answered his questions quickly.

"And more importantly, you've seen me before, haven't you? I thought you would go after me since you seemed a little strong."

"I would not do that."

"Hmm, so you saw me, I'm a little disappointed, I thought I would have a good fight. But now that I've seen you a little closer, you're no big deal, are you?"

He brought his face close to mine, I looked directly into his red eyes and jumped back instinctively.

"Oh, don't be scared like that. I wouldn't waste my time attacking you like that, it would be too boring."

"I'm sorry I'm a little rude, but may I know what you are? You're not made of ice, are you? I'm sure you're wearing armor."

"Good!!"

"Glup~~" I swallowed my saliva and kept looking at him. He turned his back and then started walking towards the huge throne, when he approached the throne and the statues, I could see that he was really short compared to everything.

"To tell you the truth, I don't like my appearance very much, so I prefer to use this armor to hide my face. I've been doing this for a long time, so I'm used to it."

"I understand."

"And if you want to know what I am, I'll answer honestly for you, I don't really know either."

"What?"

"I received this world for me a long time ago, years ago that I've been here. I've had a few visitors like you, but they all died very quickly."

"So other adventurers have been here before?"

"So you guys are adventurers, I've never heard about this 'profession' before. But yes, they've come here a few times, many of them over the years."

Wait, so that dungeon has been in that forest for so long? No, there must be something wrong here, not possible that no one has ever reported it before.

Is it possible that there is a dungeon that keeps changing its position? It can not be.

"But then, were you the one who killed them?"

"I've never done this before, they usually died before they even found me, it's a little frustrating. But of course, I would kill them if I found them since they broke into my house, don't you think that's fair?"

"…" Does he intend to kill us then? Damn, this thing is really not normal, he can kill us all easily enough.

I looked back and noticed all the adventurers looking at me with their eyes filled with tears as they trembled, I could feel their despair.

"But don't worry, I don't intend to kill you."

"Really?"

"Sure, but it would be really boring to just send you guys home, how about playing with my kids? If you manage to destroy just one of them, I'll let you go." After saying this, the statue on the right side of his throne began to move.

Her feet were connected to the floor, so when she lifted her foot, the entire floor began to crack. With every step the statue took, the whole room shook, it even seemed like it was going to collapse on top of us.

"I said the statues had moved!" One of the adventurers screamed, then many of them started screaming and despairing of the statue and also afraid that the room would collapse.

"You guys are very scandalous, my son hasn't done anything yet." The statue stopped in the middle of the room, the statue just stood there as it watched us.

"Do you want us to fight this thing?"

"Don't you think it's fair? You broke into my house."

"And that's why you want to kill us all?"

"Speaking like that, it seems like you have no confidence that you can win. You should be grateful that I'm not going to make you fight them all at once, I'm in a very good mood today."

"You have got to be kidding." When I said that, his red eyes glowed even more and he disappeared in front of my eyes.

"Do you prefer to fight me? I wouldn't deny it." When I noticed, he was in front of me looking into my eyes.

"?!" I got scared and jumped back, but when I noticed, he was already in the same place as before, how fast?
