Day four. After a day of recovery, Dephreya and you continue onward together.

The ground is littered with shattered stone golems.

In addition, there are at least several thousand arrows.

You look at Dephreya walking ahead, still revealing large swathes of skin that easily incite bloodlust, and say, 'Your clothes are so tattered, they're practically not even there.'

Dephreya's body stiffens, and she turns to look at you.

'What would a magical beast like you know?'

You size her up and down.

'Even though I'm a magical beast, I know a little about human culture.'

'I heard that humans consider plumpness beautiful. You're not attractive at all, all skin and bones, and wearing such ragged clothes, you're simply hideous.'

Dephreya's eyes remain icy cold. 'My clothes are torn, thanks to you. And as for plumpness being beautiful, hah…'

You continue speaking and walk ahead, 'I really don't understand why you humans wear clothes. It's so much better the way we magical beasts do it.'

Just as you finish speaking, you hear a rustling sound from behind.

You're stunned.

No way!!!

You quickly turn your head.

You discover that Dephreya has already put on a set of animal skins, covering herself completely.

You immediately turn your head back.

This woman, her wariness of magical beasts is this strong…

…

Continuing forward.

Soon, you arrive at another stone door.

Dephreya doesn't say anything more.

You directly activate your giant form and push the stone door open enough for a person to pass through.

Dephreya looks at you, 'Let's make this clear. If you run away again this time, I'll find another magical beast to come here.'

You wave your hand, indicating your agreement.

Dephreya enters first.

You follow behind.

Having learned from previous experience, the moment you enter, you activate Wind遁, teleporting to the side.

A thick arrow pierces the ground where you were originally standing, leaving only the arrow's fletching visible.

Anger instantly flares in your eyes.

You abruptly turn your head.

You see.

There are two stone golems present.

One of them is holding a broadsword, while the other is holding a longbow.

Dephreya's feet seem to be treading on wind, her speed is extremely fast, constantly dodging.

'Slime! I'll keep the bow golem occupied, you quickly take care of the broadsword golem!'

After speaking, Dephreya raises her bow and attacks the bow golem.

The bow golem is distracted, and the two of them exchange shots.

The broadsword golem directly attacks you.

The bodies of these two statues are made of stone, but the weapons in their hands are not.

You can feel intense magical fluctuations coming from them.

Very strong, even if you can't use them yourself, selling them would fetch a good price!

You directly activate your giant form and engage the broadsword golem in battle.

The broadsword is exceptionally sharp, and when it lands on your body, it can create cuts that are tens of centimeters deep.

Fortunately, your Water Healing Art is still usable.

While healing your own injuries, your attacks also become faster and faster.

Each punch lands on the broadsword golem.

Each punch causes a large amount of stone fragments to fall off.

More than an hour passes, and hundreds of cuts appear on your body.

The stone golem is shattered by you.

You shrink your body.

Both your magic and physical strength have been depleted to a low point.

You arrive in front of the broadsword and pour magic into it, but it's useless.

You want to put it into your interspatial ring.

But you discover that magic cannot leave your body, and you cannot open the interspatial ring.

You cannot put it into your interspatial ring.

Your gaze turns to the side. Dephreya is now even more disheveled.

Unable to use skills, her attacks can damage the bow golem, but not by much.

On the contrary, each shot from the bow golem carries enough power to kill her.

If she gets hit even once, she will die.

The high-intensity rolling and constant dodging are taking a huge toll on her stamina.

Her reaction speed is getting slower and slower.

She keeps calling out to you, asking you to join forces to kill the bow golem.

You refuse, using the excuse that you need to rest and recover.

You watch quietly.

You know very well that Dephreya is hiding her strength.

She is concealing her power.

A mere bow golem could not possibly defeat her.

Seeing that you are not helping at all, Dephreya directly comes towards you.

Her arrival also draws the bow golem over.

The bow golem releases an arrow at you.

You shout loudly, 'I've recovered! I'm going in!'

You attack, and together with Dephreya, you quickly smash the bow golem into pieces.

Looking at the broadsword and bow on the ground.

Dephreya says, 'The broadsword is yours, the bow is mine.'

You shake your head, 'They're all mine.'

Dephreya is stunned, and looks at you with an unfriendly gaze.

You chuckle, 'Don't get angry yet.'

'First of all, if I hadn't acted, you would have died at the hands of the bow golem. I saved your life.'

Dephreya's eyes narrow slightly.

You continue, 'Moreover, if you give me both of these weapons, I might be in a better mood and be able to unleash even greater combat power later on.'

'Do you think this is a worthwhile deal?'

Dephreya doesn't speak, her eyes staring directly at you.

You smile and look back at her.

After a moment, Dephreya turns around and walks forward, 'Deal.'

You chuckle and drag both the bow and broadsword forward.

Because you're dragging two weapons, your speed is very slow.

Dephreya turns around, 'You're too slow like this, I'll help you take one.'

You shake your head, looking at her warily.

Dephreya takes a deep breath, 'I have a way to open your interspatial ring.'

After that, she casts a spell that you don't understand at all, forcibly opening the interspatial ring, and you put both weapons into it.

Day five. You arrive at a large hall.

The stone hall is very rough.

In the middle of the hall, there is a giant ape statue, motionless.

Behind the giant ape, there is a stone staircase.

At the end of the stone staircase, there is an ancient-looking box.

Seeing the box, you notice that Dephreya's eyes show a very strong fluctuation.

Clearly, her ultimate goal is this box.

Moreover, she knows that this place has this box!

Dephreya notices your gaze, quickly collects her expression, and continues to show a cold face, 'Slime, let's go get the treasure chest.'

After speaking, Dephreya walks forward.

You just watch from behind, without moving.

After advancing five meters, Dephreya turns around and looks at you with a very bright smile, 'Slime, why aren't you coming over?'

'This is a treasure chest, there might be a lot of good things inside?'

You chuckle, 'I've already gained two good things, I won't be greedy for this treasure chest.'

Dephreya's face stiffens slightly, 'That won't do.'

'This journey was made possible by our joint efforts, you also have a share.'

You don't want to act with her anymore.

You point to the giant ape, 'That guy is at least a fourth-order, right?'

Dephreya's expression shakes, all smiles disappearing, 'Scared?'
