These Familiars Are Strange

The living armour did what they could to fight against this man in his stone armour, but there was nothing that they could do against it.

No matter how they tried to fight back against him, they just weren't able to scratch the stone armour around him.

A few of them even chipped their weapons when they tried to attack him.

It was as if he was made of steel while their weapons were made of stone.

But it seemed that even the man in the stone armour was surprised by how hard this stone armour was when he said to himself, "This stone…Just what kind of stone is this that it's this hard?"

It seemed that the stone that this Castle in the Sky was built with was also special.

Though that should have been something that was expected since this was a special dungeon in the first place.

With the man in the stone armour leading the way, there was nothing else for the rest of his group to do. The living armour just couldn't do anything against him, so he was able to knock them all down.

Though he knocked them down, it didn't seem like he was able to find a way to break them completely since they kept getting back up.

That was until one of his teammates suddenly stabbed out at one of the sets of living armour. Well, it wasn't that person itself that stabbed out at the living armour, it was his familiar that did it.

It was an owl that seemed to be using its own feathers as arrows.

I already knew just how strong the defenses of the living armour was, so I knew that this owl wasn't ordinary that its feathers were able to pierce through.

It pierced right through the chest of the set of living armour that it was shot at and destroyed the core that was inside. The moment that it destroyed the core, the living armour fell down like a puppet with its strings cut.

After taking care of that set of living armour, the person with the owl said, "Brother Shi, just keep distracting them and letting them hit you. I'll take care of them soon."

The man in the stone armour who was called Brother Shi scowled at this person with the owl as he said, "Little brat, why didn't you do that sooner? And the rest of you, just watching me fight all on my own, how heartless are you all?"

They just smiled when they heard this.

With the way that they fought, it was clear that they felt no pressure at all dealing with these sets of living armour. Read chapters at My Virtual Library Empire@@novelbin@@

It seemed like they were even making a game out of it.

But the strength that they showed made them more than qualified to do this.

Still, I looked down on them for letting their guards down like this.

First, they ran through the dungeon without even scouting out the area around them and drew all kinds of attention while chasing after the living armour. That was what allowed them to fall into this trap and be surrounded by the living armour in the first place.

Though they had the strength to back this carelessness that it didn't come to bite them in the butt that they were surrounded by these sets of living armour like this.

The second reason I looked down on them was because they didn't pay any attention to the surrounding area while they were fighting.

They just focused purely on the living armour and didn't notice anyone creeping up on them.

Namely, they didn't notice that I was right there behind them.

After taking care of a few sets of living armour, it seemed like they were about to completely wipe them out.

But before they could…

"Ha, let's finish…"

Before Brother Shi could finish these words, he suddenly froze on the spot.

The others didn't say anything either since all of them froze on the spot along with Brother Shi.

The living armour seemed confused by this, so they didn't attack right away. But seeing that Brother Shi didn't do anything, they started moving forward to attack him.

Though it didn't seem to have an effect as their weapons were unable to break through the stone armour that was around him.

The living armour seemed to slowly learn that to hurt Brother Shi, they had to aim at the parts of his armour that didn't completely cover him. They had to aim at the gaps in his armour to hurt him.

But they didn't get to do that in the end as there were more sets of living armour that came out.

Brother Shi and his group seemed like they were panicking when they saw this, but they were confused to see the living armour charging at the other living armour. It seemed like some kind of internal conflict between them when they attacked each other.

At least, it didn't seem like the living armour were planning on attacking them.

They were still panicking since they had been frozen on the spot and there was nothing that they could do to break out of whatever was holding them.

"How about we have a little chat?"

When they heard this voice, they tried to look behind them, but they couldn't since their heads were still frozen.

But the owner of the voice came forward to stand in front of them.

The moment that they saw the owner of this voice, there were strange looks that appeared in their eyes. However, none of them said a single thing since even their lips wouldn't move.

However, their eyes seemed to say…

"Why is it you?"

I was standing there in front of them with my face covered again.

We had taken off the outfits when we arrived in the dungeon since they were hard to keep on for long periods of time, but now I was using them for their intended purpose.

"You're going to tell me what I want to know, or else."
