"Kiyaak!..." the screech of the spider monster still came out. No, not from a ferocious spider monster but from a stone golem wearing a strange mask.
"haah!" Lylah said listlessly.
After the incident with Rocky's melted body, she no longer dared to approach anything called Alchemist, especially when Rocky was nearby.
Lylah is now starting to think that the alchemists she has used so far will someday make her lose her friend, but actually on Rocky's side all the alchemists she had previously had no effect whatsoever.
Now Lylah is more focused on magic equipment, especially the helmet she made, on the other hand Rocky also just realized that he could see when he wore the helmet.
Yes, it's true that he can see like when he becomes a human if he wears the helmet that Lylah made. Either because the magic that Lylah implanted was too effective or because the eyes on the helmet were made of spider eyes. However, when she wore the helmet it was as if some kind of puzzle piece accidentally appeared and completed her.
She began to think of herself as an incomplete robot where the maker forgot to add sight, smell, and taste (this one seemed unnecessary).
But unfortunately he can't use the super smell feature that Lylah installed, not because it's ineffective but because it can't!
Keep in mind that Rocky currently has no nose/lungs!, even if there are 2 holes on his head that are speculated to be noses. However, it is useless because he is actually a lump of rock!, and rocks don't breathe!.
It doesn't even breathe, so why would it need a sense of smell to detect anything?
Yes, just imagine it like this. When Rocky wears that helmet he's just like someone holding his breath. If it's like that, can you still smell things?
Going back to Rocky's ability, he was also told that as long as the mouthpiece is in the shape of a 'mouth', whether it's just a carved tooth or a line of origin when Rocky wears it. That part will immediately turn into a real mouth that can open and close.
But of course, no matter how similar the shape is the result when the material is made from the shell of an adamantium spider monster is only a scream/screech from the adamantium spider.
"aargh! ENOUGH! ROCKY FORGET ALL OF THIS LET'S GO FOR A WALK!" Lylah shouted in annoyance while slamming a few items and pulling out her small magic wand while walking out.
"Wait! Go for a walk? Go for a walk where? Outside the dungeon!" said Rocky who immediately put on his helmet and chased Lylah.
--------------------
"didudu-dududa..." Lylah's cheerful humming accompanied her walk which occasionally jumped a little right and left on the ever-moving palace streets, of course her journey was also accompanied by the steps of the stone feet behind her.
"kyaak...kaak..." "You're not afraid of traps are you?" said Rocky while looking around, he just realized that this place is a palace inside a giant dome whose ceiling is filled with sharp stalactites and holes that are often used in and out by mutated cave animals, the lighting in here also comes from light stones in all directions so that everything feels bright.
"woh!? Hahahaha.... hey Rocky look at these glowing flowers!" said Lylah while crouching down, in front of her was a bunch of glowing blue flowers.
Rocky noticed the little boy in front of him who was always cheerful, he could now see Lylah's form who had hair and eyes as beautiful as snow with her nose and tiny mouth that always showed her innocent expression.
Rocky's mind drifted into one of his memories that showed a similar child but with eyes and hair as beautiful as the night sky.
"Rocky! Let's follow this flower trail!" said Lylah while pulling Rocky's hand which immediately broke his reverie.
Rocky himself saw and felt that the flow of mana in the air seemed normal and there was nothing strange along the path of the glowing blue flower, Rocky nodded to Lylah and immediately took her hand.
The blue flower led them to a hallway in the palace wall, unlike the other places in this labyrinth palace which were divided into separate rooms and separated by large doors.
The passage in front of them had no doors and no guards passing around, Lylah fearlessly wanted to enter the passage in front of her but only a step Rocky held her at the mouth of the passage.
Lylah turned around and looked at Rocky, "Why Rocky? Is something strange?"
Rocky didn't answer and just looked around, he felt like he forgot something but didn't find anything.
On the other hand, Lylah, who was a curious child, pulled Rocky with all her might. "Come on!.... calm down Rocky there will be no problem! I promise to just look around and come back if there is life armor or golems that block us we will go straight back!".
Because of Lylah's encouragement, Rocky could only surrender and obey her wishes. But he still didn't ignore his instincts that told him what was wrong, he immediately asked for the scythe that Lylah kept.
"You're very strange today Rocky, not usual..." said Lylah who took out her scythe from under her cloak.
"If you don't accept it, let's go home! And wait until the Master Sage finds out that you've been sneaking out and playing in the dungeon!" said Rocky.
But Lylah covered her ears with all her might. "HMP! Rocky I don't mind if you're angry! But if you talk please don't use that Helmet! The sound is really torturous to the ears you know!"
Getting that reply Rocky immediately closed his mouth, and with all his strength he held his voice just to say. "Sorry"
But unfortunately Lylah immediately ran while covering her ears. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK! THAT SCREAM WAS TOO LOUD!"
Now Rocky felt a dilemma with the situation, he immediately followed Lylah who had entered the hallway whose floor was filled with glowing blue flowers, but unbeknownst to both of them something was watching them from a distance.
Rocky and Lylah are now exploring the hallway they just discovered, in contrast to other places that are illuminated by light stones and torches with flames that never go out. The passage they were walking through was now only lit by the light produced by the small flowers under their feet.
During the few moments they entered the hallway there were no traps or anything that hindered them, at this time Lylah continued to laugh merrily to and fro behind Rocky picking the flowers underneath, she occasionally picked seeds and occasionally picked to assemble and put them under her cloak.
But on the other hand Rocky who walked in front continued to be vigilant with the scythe in his hand, he continued to check all the walls, lags and floors that he suspected.
"Rocky take it easy... I often secretly walk around here, and there's no problem whatsoever... it's only with the master that we usually fight Golems and that was during the last harvest." It was Lylah who was busy spinning the luminous flowers into a crown.
She took out her wand to cast magic that made it float and land on Rocky's shoulder and immediately put her flower crown on his head, "TARA!... how is it? It's good isn't it! Hehehehe..."
The helmet he wore was really like a part of Rocky, if you ignored his stone body he currently looked like a man wearing a mask who took his sister for a walk. Moreover, the thread that was shaped like hair on the top of his head really matched Lylah's hair, except that the one on Rocky's head was more similar to silver-white hair like the flash of a newly polished sword.
"hmm... but this is strange, why is this place so quiet..." said Lylah.
Instantly Rocky turned around and dashed towards the entrance, because of Rocky's sudden movement Lylah reflexively held on to his head, "Waaa.... Rocky! What's wrong with you!?"
Rocky ignored whatever came out of Lylah, currently his speed was twice the speed of humans, until shortly after that they reached the end of the hallway, but unfortunately Rocky only found a wall blocking the exit.
"DAK!" Rocky jumped and hit the wall, but unfortunately only a crack was created, the crack also slowly disappeared.
Rocky checked his hand and only found that his hand was also cracked and regenerated almost similar to the wall in front of him.
Meanwhile Lylah fell because the duration of her levitation magic had expired she immediately grabbed Rocky's neck and hung on his shoulder as a support, "what's wrong Rocky? ... hm? is this the entrance?"
Lylah's words were only returned with a nod, but Lylah didn't even panic a little, "hmm... if it's closed, so be it... maybe because there's a building covering it, we'd better go back!"
Lylah immediately climbed up and sat on Rocky's shoulders just like that, she immediately held the white hair on Rocky's helmet as a handle, "Come on Rocky!... anyway so far we haven't gotten into trouble... doesn't this mean this passage is safe? So instead of waiting here, let's explore this passage hehehe"
Rocky looked up to see Lylah who continued to smile, "haah.... calves who are not afraid of anything"
Rocky is now resigned and follows Lylah's request, he turns around and heads in the direction they went before, but after a distance the wall that previously blocked them slowly loosened and turned into a black cloth cloak that was immediately worn by a knight with red armor all over his body.
Whether he was just a suit of armor or a Golem wearing armor but with his fiery red eyes he gave his own threat and horror, fortunately the knight turned to go in the opposite direction to Rocky.
