These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 123: Hidden Boss

Though this voice seemed powerful, it wasn’t as if just the voice alone would do anything.

The only thing that it did was catch us off guard temporarily.

But in the end, the Death Knight was still taken care of and collapsed into a pile of dust and bones.

After that first roar, the voice seemed to have disappeared.

However, when the Death Knight collapsed, the voice once again said, "How dare you destroy my Death Knight? Not only that, you destroyed the magic array that I’ve set up to turn it into a Dullahan! I will never forgive you!"

Dullahan?

So it turned out that this was the reason why the lich had set up that magic array in the first place.

It turned out that it wanted to gather the natural dark energy inside of this dungeon to amplify the power of the Death Knight, allowing it to evolve into a Dullahan.

A Dullahan was a genuine A Rank Monster, so if the Death Knight had been able to evolve into a Dullahan, this dungeon would have turned into a B Rank Dungeon.

It had been heard that a dungeon would suddenly mutate and gain ranks, but no one really knew how it happened.

It felt like we were getting a glimpse into the backend of how the dungeons worked.

But of course, that just went on to raise even more questions. Discover stories with novelbuddy

Namely, where did these intelligent monsters come from and if they had this kind of intelligence, why did they let themselves be trapped in these dungeons?

It really didn’t seem to make any sense…

There was another moment of silence that followed before the ground itself seemed to shake.

After shaking for a bit, there was a rumbling sound that came from the distance.

Whatever that sound was, it was most likely related to the anger that the lich released.

When it was done, it seemed like there was something that appeared in front of us.

We could feel the dark energy that was coming from it.

"If you dare, come and face me. If not, then I’ll take down your puny world when I leave this place."

After this, there was only silence that followed.

It seemed that the lich didn’t care about whether we attacked it or not, it was just giving this choice to us.

That meant one thing…

This dungeon had a natural Hidden Boss.

Natural Hidden Bosses were different from Quest Hidden Bosses.

That was because they were much stronger than any Hidden Boss that could come from a quest. A natural Hidden Boss was one that was already generated by the dungeon and came with the dungeon, it wasn’t something that needed to gain power over time like a Quest Hidden Boss.

With all the signs that had been given, it was clear that the Hidden Boss of the dungeon was a lich.

Though they didn’t see all of the signs that I had, Wang Rong and Iris seemed to have figured this out as they looked at me with worried looks.

I just calmly said, "We can take a look. There’s no need for us to actually fight it, right?"

The two of them still had worried looks on their faces, but they slowly nodded in agreement.

So we started moving in the direction that the dark energy was coming from.

It didn’t take long for us to arrive at an opening in the ground.

This opening was in a place that was filled with rocks and seemed to have a staircase in it that led into the ground.

With things as they were, it was clear that this was the opening that would lead to the Hidden Boss’s chamber.

But since they were closer to this opening, they could feel how intense the dark energy coming from it was. It was much stronger than the aura that the Death Knight had, which meant that this lich was clearly stronger.

For me who had experienced the dungeon break before, I felt that it was a bit familiar.

It was on the same level as the Orc King that I faced before.

That meant that there was no doubt that this lich that was hiding inside of this place was an A Rank Monster.

An A Rank Monster…

There was a part of me that wanted to fight this lich, but I also knew that it would be seeking death to be doing such a thing.

"If only there was a way to go in and have a look at it without being put in danger…Maybe I could figure out a way to take it down…" I couldn’t help muttering to myself.

I really did want to try my hand at taking down this lich…

But in the end, I decided against it since it wasn’t worth risking our lives for it.

Or that was what I was thinking until Iris said, "I might have a way."

I looked up to see that she was standing right beside me and she had been looking at me with thought filled eyes the entire time. It almost scared me a little the way that she looked at me.

But I still asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Iris didn’t answer at first as she raised her hand. Then with a wave of that hand, there was something that appeared.

It was a strange thing that seemed to be some kind of cube, but it didn’t take long for this thing to transform into some kind of little car. At the same time, she took out what seemed to be a tablet.

Tapping something on the little car, there was an image that appeared on the tablet.

This was enough to show what this thing was and the demonstration that she gave was something that surprised us.

Normal cameras didn’t work in the dungeon because of the interference from the natural mana that was in the dungeon.

A camera that would work in the dungeon was a very special thing that would be made from very special material.

So of course such a camera wouldn’t be cheap.

As expected of the daughter of two World Summoners.
