These Familiars Are Strange

As soon as I came to this theory, I couldn't help feeling that it hit the nail on the head.

Looking at the set of living armour in front of me, it seemed even more likely.

After all, there was even that core that was used to control the set of living armour.

Was the one that was controlling it watching us through these cores in the sets of living armour?

If that was the case, did that mean that the one controlling it was one of the competitors or was it something from the dungeon?

I would have preferred that it was another competitor since it would have been the safer option. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

If it was some monster in the dungeon that were controlling these sets of living armour, that meant that the monster was one that had a high intelligence. It meant that it would be able to think at the same level as a human.

Monsters like those were especially hard to deal with.

After all, they could come up with plans just like humans and without knowing what they were, it would be hard to find them.

As expected of the dungeon that was being used for this competition.

It didn't seem like there was anything normal in this dungeon.

With the coordination between the undead, it was easy for them to take care of all the sets of living armour that came at us and there were quite a few of them. After taking care of them for a bit, there was a pile of armour and cores that was scattered on the side.

The way that they came at us, it didn't seem like there was any fear in the sets of living armour.

But eventually they did stop coming.@@novelbin@@

I didn't know why they stopped, but my guess was that they ran out.

There were simply no more sets of living armour to send at us, or at least for now.

I had been looking at the cores and the sets of armour on the ground during this time, so I was able to find a few things about them.

As I had thought, these were being used to control these sets of armour.

It seemed that the core was some kind of mana receiving device that allowed whoever created them to send mana into the sets of armour. That mana filled up the insides of the set of armour, which allowed it to move like this.

At the same time, the core could be used to manipulate the mana that was inside of the sets of armour to create fine movement.

Whoever created these cores really knew what they were doing.

They were able to control so many different sets of armour, it almost was like a child playing with toys.

So that meant that if we were able to find the one that controlled these sets of living armour, then we would be able to control these sets of living armour as well.

It was just how were we supposed to find the one controlling them?

Even if we were to head in the direction that the sets of living armour came from, it wasn't as if we would be able to find the one controlling them.

If it was me, I would have hidden myself away while controlling these sets of armour.

So it would be hard to find the one that was controlling them.

Or that was what I thought until something asked to be summoned.

I was surprised to receive this request, but I still let the Astral White Tiger out.

The moment that it came out, it went over to the pile of wasted armour and cores that were placed on the side. The way that it stood over one of the cores was as if it was looking closely at it.

Then all of a sudden, the Astral White Tiger turned in the opposite direction.

It was also the opposite direction of the one that the sets of living armour came from.

Without any hesitation, the Astral White Tiger took off running in that direction.

I was caught off guard by the actions of the Astral White Tiger, but then I said with a wave of my hand, "Go, follow it."

Iris and Wang Rong had also been caught off guard by all of this, but they snapped back to attention when they heard me call out to them.

For his size, Wang Rong actually moved quite quickly. Though that was because of the second skill that I gave him.

He could become even stronger as long as he could negate the side effects of his familiar's ability. So I gave him a second skill that would allow him to move even if he made himself even heavier.

But when he didn't make himself heavy, it allowed him to move at a speed that really didn't fit his physique.

That was how Wang Rong was able to catch up to the Astral White Tiger without any problem. Then after catching up, he just remained behind the Astral White Tiger, letting it lead the way.

Though the way that he pulled out his weapon was as if he was ready to protect it if anything happened.

The Astral White Tiger continued running forward without any hesitation as if it knew exactly where it was going, but this was still a dungeon that we were running through. There was the chance that we would be surrounded by monsters at any time if we rashly went too far.

It was a good thing that the Astral White Tiger didn't go that far.

After turning around three corners, the Astral White Tiger suddenly stopped as if it sensed something.

Wang Rong moved forward as if he wanted to protect it, but he didn't get a chance to show off.

That was because there was this breeze that was gathered around the Astral White Tiger.

In no time at all, that breeze turned into a gust of wind that formed a blade of wind.

With a roar from the Astral White Tiger, it sent it at one of the doors in this corridor.
