Deep in the mountains, Dungeon Core descends into panic. To be precise, it is [Bo
eCo
e]. For some reason, the people who broke into his [Bone Area]...
Just can't stop.
"Why? Why didn't he stop? What kind of intruder is this?"
A sparkling blue gem floats in the deepest chamber of the dungeon, with only his orc (necromancer) lieutenant listening.
He could feel the intruder drilling deeper and faster.
Nothing can stop him.
"I tried the injector but he just stood in it! Same with the gas! Th
Ogg and his body horror are defeated in seconds! Welcome Skeleton even faster!"
If he had fingers, he would bite them until they were bloody. Unfortunately, all the Earth's core can do is change colors, from red to blue to red, and vibrate.
and cheers.
"Go! The rest of you, go! Get the Abominable Bones ready! And the Super Death Pit! Get ready to activate it! He's almost there! Why is he so fast? Let's go! Move!"
His goblins finally stirred, running to manipulate the complex system of levers and pulleys that controlled the dungeon's many traps. Core spun in place, glaring at each of his subordinates in turn, his panic growing as he felt the intruder getting closer.
But most of all, his status means nothing.
//Dungeon invasion in progress:
//Intruder:1 //Average level:6
That's just a level six intruder.
He himself is level 19 [Bone Core], and his physical terror is at least level 15. "What a ridiculously broken class this is?" (Hero)? Please tell me this isn't a hero. "
"Sir." One of the orcs raised a hand and said hesitantly.
The core rotated, aiming a bright red light at his face. "What's up?"
The goblin swallowed. "(Hero) left the field 6 months ago - there shouldn't be another one."
The core focused the bright light into a burning red laser, burning a hole in the goblin's head. It fell to the ground, dead.
"You fool, do you think I don't know?"
The core started roaring again almost immediately, but he stopped - the intruder was there. He turned around and the red light flashed rapidly. "Now! Activate the Super Death Pit now! He's right there!"
A goblin pulled a lever, and the floor of the corridor fell away, changing the feel of the core of the dungeon, revealing a 40-meter drop directly into the lair of the giant bone statue.
He felt the uninvited guest fall and finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least use this
Then the intruder suddenly stopped in mid-air, 30 meters from the bottom, and its movement slowed down significantly.
The core screams. "Is it also levitation magic?"
No. The intruder began to fall again.
"What's going on - at that speed - they're bound to -"
The intruder sat as close to the ground as a stone, the core holding the light in place, red and unblinking, waiting for impact. Next up is the Horrible Bones, get ready, you can’t leave this one
Then the intruder suddenly turned, all the speed turning from vertical to horizontal in one smooth rotation, directly hitting the terrifying bones, shattering them instantly.
"
No…what? What was that? A [double jump], into a forward slash? No—it’s all wrong—"
He paused. The enemy is still moving - right here. There was only a short corridor between the bottom of the pit and this room.
He looked at the trembling servants, and his heart felt dark. So things have come to this...
The Earth's core seizes on the various strands of life that emanate from it and tears them all apart. The orcs screamed in terror and disappeared, dissolving in the pool of blood. The light flashed rapidly and the core pushed all remaining life energy into the ground in a true last ditch effort.
Summons a guardian.
"Get up! Big Stone Man!"
A hulking round stone rose from the floor like a giant turtle, then legs sprouted from it and it staggered to its feet. It loomed in a place where an actual mountain broke free from the ground.
"Go! Kill this uninvited guest now!"
The golem took a step forward, but just then the intruder came in and the door to the vault was blown open.
The flash of the core stopped on the man who walked to the center of the room and stopped there.
A... stone?
"Go! Kill it!" he said, using all his strength to force the puppet to move as quickly as possible.
But that puppet... it stepped forward and made a gesture to the stone.
The core begins to lose its mind. "What are you doing...don't duel with it!"
- - - - - -
duel.
The rock immediately sensed the golem's intentions, it was a blood relationship. The presence of stones.
A glorious duel filled with pain.
Because isn’t honor a rock-solid feeling?
Rocks yield many new insights into the world. But it accepted the duel, shuffled forward, and bowed politely.
A strange thing flashed crazily behind it, but the rock paid it no mind. This is a hard-hearted duel.
For a stone duel, only one match is important.

The Earth Golem...was not destroyed. The stone looked on in disbelief as only the part it flew over fell off, the rest of the puppets filling in the gaps. This enemy operates on different principles than previous enemies. This is……
A real enemy.
Both duelists return from their first joust with new wounds that will become scars of honor. Now there's a large crack in the rock, the golem has lost a lot of mass, and a bunch of stuff is slowly dripping from it.
This is the difference between them.
The rocks are either intact or completely destroyed. Its nature does not allow for any loss of quality. Meanwhile, the Golem doesn't collect any cracks, but as a trade-off, it loses some pieces.
A solid core or a moving landslide.
Who will win?
They both ignored the lights blinking annoyingly in the background. It doesn't matter. This is a matter between the Stone Brothers—no Carbon Stone can interfere.
It's time for the second joust - and the contestants attack each other again.

A serious wound - the rock felt a crack almost running through it, splitting it in two. But it persisted.
It hasn't lost quality. That golem...has become even more worn. Desperate. Half of its mass was gone, but it still stood firm, determined to solidify its shell.
The rock moved slightly and saluted him. It was the most exciting battle it had ever been in.
When the two were preparing for the third and final competition, suddenly
The nasty shiny thing suddenly erupted, finally done waiting, and a beam of molten heat shot out from its center, straight into the rock. It's not prepared to dodge and has very low health, so it can—
Suddenly, the puppet moved, blocking the beam with its body with the force of a landslide.
The rock stares dumbly like a statue or rock at the hero's sacrifice. A true warrior would rather die than surrender.
The shiny thing screamed angrily, and the golem fell, melting into dirt and rock and falling to the ground.
A burning fire kindles in the soul of the rock. It targets the hateful destroyer in the holy battle and releases all the energy in the body.
An absolutely fatal blow, no mercy. It flies to the heart of the dungeon, then
It has no chance.
Damage is inconsequential, once it encounters the relentless force of physics, the core cracks, falls apart, and shatters into glistening shards. A new notification has arrived.

Activate to disguise yourself and make others think you are just a rock.
The Rock pays tribute to its fallen rivals and celebrates reaching new heights. Life and death, happening at the same time.
A beautiful thing.
It admired the poetry for a moment, then turned and left.
Then he looked up.
There are many, many stairs between it and the corridor above. The room is closed, a simple box, with levels and ropes on the walls. But that stone...
-Suddenly realized how cold it was.
Storage temperature: 0 K
Current speed: 0 meters/second
It has no energy, nothing to move.
Not even able to roll around the room, explore, try to do something with the rope.
There is no mountain to roll down. There are no slopes. There is no gravity domain.
Just a flat surface.
its stuck.
So the rock recalled the glorious duel that ended its adventurous career...
and feel satisfied.
Maybe this isn't so bad. It will remain here to commemorate the fallen golem.
A great ending.
