Chapter 536: Chapter 368 Brass Woman/Fireproof Woman

In a situation where you’re surrounded by dangerous Monsters, does someone suddenly appear and call you over?

Generally speaking, in such situations, those who pop up shouldn’t be bad people...right?

After all, the doorway where that woman, who looks like she’s clad in brass armor, stands, is quite large; the giant guards seem like they could easily bend down and enter as well.

Taking such a big risk to call out to her can’t simply be for petty gains, right? So far, it seems only Patch tries to deliberately set traps.

"So, she should be a good person."

Squatting on the watchtower where she was initially thrown down by the Bat Monster, Elsa is reviewing her actions, ultimately coming to a rather embarrassing conclusion.

As for why she would return to where the dream began, of course, it’s because she died once.

Regrettably, when the Brass Woman appeared, she hesitated, and this hesitation gave the enemy a chance; the giant guards swarmed and chopped her into pieces.

Luckily, there are bonfires in Sain Dungeon that allow for resurrection, otherwise, if the remains had been directly teleported to the Resurrection House, it might have won the Best Death of the Year trophy.

Ever since the mutation in Sain Dungeon, there’s been much controversy over the Best Death of the Year trophy, mainly because there’s innovation every day.

Elsa patted the dust off her backside and reviewed all the detailed scenes she had seen while parkour running; she finally decided to proceed more cautiously this time, slowly clearing out the Monsters.

From what it looks like, the distance from here to the woman in brass armor isn’t that far, and it’s clearly not enough for the giant guards to give up chasing her, nor is it certain if the Brass Woman has any means to stop the giant guards.

Elsa stretched her muscles, feeling troubled at the thought of having to fight an unknown number of giant guards next.

It seemed like she was getting less and less interested in fighting lately.

Walking down the stairs, after an intense battle disposing of the descending giant guard, and then tangling with two more arriving guards, by the time she finally took down all the initial enemies, she already felt waist pain, backache, and leg cramps.

The giant guards dropped high-level Forging Stones, and occasionally Humanity, which Elsa threw into a corner.

After doing all this, she finally had time to rest and observe this spacious room.

If anything, the place gave her a feeling of grandeur, even more so than the palace of Ainz III, but it lacked a lot of liveliness, akin to a solitary, dead city.

While fighting the giant guards, it wasn’t felt, but now alone here, a sense of loneliness quickly crept in, followed by an indescribable sorrow.

"This statue is, um, what was it called again?"

She found a tall statue at the end of the room, possibly four or five times her height.

It was a knight wearing Lion armor, crafted entirely from what seemed like stone, but the lance it held was not stone, looking capable of actual use.

"Oh right, it’s called Ornstein."

Elsa looked at Ornstein’s statue, suddenly moving beneath it and jumping twice, reaching for the long spear in its hand.

When she grasped the overly large spear, she came to her senses, smacking the hand that touched the spear earlier, blushing, "What was I thinking, trying to take down the spear for myself to use..."

Probably influenced by Luluwo’s trait of making good use of any opportunity, as Luluwo often would bring an intern to collect miscellaneous items when entering a Dungeon, eager to engage with anything peculiar.

However, if she could take the entire statue back, perhaps the rumored Princess Selene, who liked Sain, would spend a hefty price to purchase it?

Continuing forward, upon encountering three giant guards in formation, Elsa employed a simple tactic of running circles around them, only succeeding after considerable effort.

She struggled so much; how would others fare coming here?

Dying in the Painting World would leave a death impression; she intends to minimize her own deaths by all means, determined not to leave behind a wretched image for the ones who follow.

The side entrance of the clearing is where the Brass Woman was peeking through earlier; walking over, she finds that it leads further down, while on the other side, behind the three giant guards is another spacious hall, looking as if there are no pathways.

At this point, she chose to explore the hall with no other paths first before finding the Brass Woman, saving time and effort as she would not have to return.

The hall similarly housed a familiar statue, it was Smough, his hammer also not a sculpture, appearing to be a real weapon, but Elsa couldn’t take it.

"There’s actually a treasure chest."

Two treasure chests lay on either side of the Smough statue, and overjoyed, Elsa paid special attention to the appearance of the treasure chests.

Lulu once shared her expertise that to discern whether a chest is a Treasure Box Monster or not, one merely needs to check the direction of its chains; inward means genuine treasure chest, outward indicates a Treasure Box Monster.

"This chain faces inward, it’s a true treasure chest."

Inside is a [Giant Guard Big Shield].
