Chapter 224: Undead golem

9 hours left until the sunset of Saturday. Viktor was rushing towards the chamber of the golem army by floating on his staff with a huge gun on his back. He was surprised to see the tower wasn’t erasing it as a cheat weapon so he was happy. Also, it was his first time using his weapon in gun form. He wanted to try it out so using it against the army of golems was the best choice.

Since he went so deep inside the dungeon, it took him an hour to get back to the surface and to reach inside the golem chamber. The moment he went inside, the golems finally moved. They all noticed Viktor’s unique demonic presence and targeted him as their enemy.

’Now they are finally moving, huh? Did their system evaluate me as their enemy? If that’s the case, I’m going to sit back right here, cast a sturdy barrier and use my weapon from here."

Viktor sat down in a corner of the huge chamber and started to shoot at the army of golems. He didn’t know how powerful his bullets would be against the level 80 golem army.

A bullet came out of the nozzle at extreme speed. In just a second, it pierced through 6 golems and killed them.

*You’ve levelled up.*

*You’ve levelled up.*

*You’ve levelled up.*

The sound of his tower system kept ringing inside his head every time he shot the golem with his mana bullets. There were more than one hundred golems lined up and ready to attack but they were no match for Viktor’s gunshots.

Before they could even throw attack spells at Viktor, they were falling to the ground because Viktor was shooting their hearts.

In just a few minutes, the whole army became a pile of corpses. Viktor was ready to fight the boss monster of the chamber then but for some reason, the boss wasn’t moving.

Viktor had already reached level 89 so there was only 1 level gap between them.

His core became stronger, his senses, his skills also became stronger and some of his restrictions were lifted. For that, his dimension room had finally opened.

But he couldn’t understand why the boss monster wasn’t moving. So he walked near it and suddenly, he heard its voice.

*My lord. I am sorry for not realizing this. How can a mortal being oppose a celestial being? I am ashamed of myself.*

"Hum? You know how to speak the language of god?"

*I can’t speak but the signals I’m sending you are automatically translated to the language you use. Before you entered the room, I couldn’t sense your magic so I thought of you as an enemy. But after that, I was finally able to evaluate your core. You’re the demigod of all living records, Viktor E. North. The saviour of our universe.*

"How do you know about me? That title was given to me recently."

*The saint of demons. She came to this dungeon not long ago. She looked through the future by using her lifespan and said one day, a demigod will come to this planet, with a demon lord title.*

"How did you know I’m that person?"

*The halo above your head and on your chest. They are something that you don’t see everyday in Erok. Your aura is also something not from this planet either. It’s pure and also demonic. That’s how I realize I’m just fighting with my protector.*

"That demon saint you’re talking about, she’s not a demon from this world, right? Can you tell me her name? I can’t look through her record because I don’t have her name."

*She didn’t tell us her name to any of us. But if you need it, I will sacrifice my vision so you can see her with your own two eyes.*

The boss golem gouged his eyes out of his skill and knelt in front of Viktor. *Here you go, my lord. Being useful to you is the highest honour a soulless object like me can get.*

Viktor took the eye and immediately ate it to see everything that the eye had seen in the past.

That eye turned into energy and showed everything that the golem had seen in the past. She looked like a 2-year-old child with a white book floating above her head.

White and golden books indicate its identity as a god or a demigod. But it also indicates that the person is no longer a being that possesses a soul. She used taboo magic to see the future by sacrificing her lifespan. For that reason, her soul became unstable and lost its power to walk the path of her next reincarnation.

Just like Adonis, she turned into a black statue.

Since Viktor reached level 89, he was able to open the records of his library. He looked at her record and saw she only lived for 12 years and sacrificed 2100 years of her lifespan just to see a demigod would come as a demon lord and cut the connection to a deadly system which was slowly eating away the universe.

Viktor looked further inside her records and saw she hid a book right before she died in her arms. She said it was a book that had clues about the deadly connection. It was passed down to her from an unknown god who once worked for the god that created the link.

Viktor tried to look through that nameless god’s record but that god was a great god. For that reason, he failed to open his book.

Viktor sighed and quickly opened Adonis’ record book. He was worried about him so he opened the page from where he left. He was doing alright.

He was actually doing more than alright. Also, he noticed the time difference between Erok and the realm of heavens. The flow of time was slightly slower on Erok compared to the time on Helsia.

Judging by the time, he calculated that his visit to Erok wasn’t long. But his journey wouldn’t be an easy one.

After thinking about his journey, he read those that he felt he should read and kept his private life aside. Even though Adonis was his servant, reading everything about his life felt like a crime to him.

So he ignored everything and read those that he needed to before putting the record back on the bookshelf.

Viktor then looked at the boss monster’s face and asked, "Do you have a name?"

*No, my lord. I do not have any name. I am formed from the aura of this dungeon which was gifted by the god of the dungeon. My duty is to protect the statue of the demon saint. Although, that duty wasn’t ordered by the lord. I choose to protect it because she is the one who said I’m also a person.*

Viktor smiled and said, "Since you can talk and make decisions, aren’t you a person already? Tell me, golem. Do you want to live like a human?"

*If I ever get any chance to live like one, I’d like to become a demon. But before that, I must carry out my mission. The saint gave me the order to give this key to the lord. It’s the key to her chamber. That’s where her status is sleeping.*

The golem opened a box in his chest and took a floating golden key out of it. He then gave it to Viktor and said, *Her chamber lies behind the golden wall.*

Viktor approached the wall and saw a gigantic door. He used to key to open the door and at that moment, the boss golem said, *I am free from my duty now. I can finally become one with the dungeon. It was an honour to meet you, my lord. Imagining myself living a life of a living being is a pipe dream. But your words are warm enough to fill the emptiness inside my heart.*

The golem’s body started to form cracks all over its body. It looked at Viktor with its smiling face and again said, *All hail, the great lord.*

Viktor quickly approached him and put his left hand on his shoulder. His powers were back but they were on the same level as he was a guardian. But it was enough to make the monster golem alive by using his halo.

The golem quickly turned into dust and again took the form of a small child around its core. The child took the appearance of a demon child and emitted a smell of sand.

The child smelt like rain on dry ground after days of scorching heat.

It was a golem ’undead’ demon, created by Viktor.

Viktor patted the small child’s head and said, " You are an undead child of the demon lord from now on. You are an undead who will live among the living beings that walk the path of reincarnation. You will make friends, families and enemies. Your family will depend on you as well as your enemy will hurt you. But it also depends on you since as a living being, you are free to make your own choice. You can become a great hero or a great villain if you want to. But remember, you are someone that does not possess a soul. You are an undead who will live until the end of time. And you have to become the guardian of the demons on this planet as long as it exists. Of course, you won’t reincarnate and your weakness is holy magic. Will you accept your life as it is not, or do you want to end your life and become one with the dungeon?"

The undead touched Viktor’s hand with his tiny hands and said, *It’s a great honour to become a child of the demon lord. Even if it hurts me, I’m grateful because I am alive and still exist. Please give me your blessing so I can continue to live and protect the demon race.*

’This is all going as planned. Now I can ditch my job on him so I can leave this planet soon-_-.’
