I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive

56. You’re Just Craving My Body

Kefir’s perspective.

What “the relic is actually just an instance”; what “because it’s a mechanism that only you can open”; what “after defeating the powerful BOSS in the last room, you’ll definitely level up, pah, break through!”…

These phrases that charlatan Ogelid always has on his lips, even if Kefir understands them, he can only grasp a part of them. But at this point, Kefir feels that besides believing, there seems to be no other choice, including the “enemy” in front of him.

A giant stone idol, several people tall, reacts primitively to intruders entering the relic due to its magical power—attack. According to Kefir’s experience, this is indeed as Ogelid “prophesied”: belonging to the relic, it’s probably the last piece of life formed purely from magic.

Massive in form, swift in action, and because it’s made of stone and magic, it’s as hard as heavy armor. Such a life form, even a sixth-order practitioner within the empire would struggle to deal with, let alone Kefir himself, who has no time to think or care about Ogelid still outside, only going all out to avoid injury.

And this, Ogelid also “prophesied”—[The next BOSS will definitely be a monster that’s just a tiny bit stronger than you, you’re amazing, definitely no problem, just treat it as a training target.]

The joy in that guy’s face made Kefir even start to doubt whether the charlatan had seen through him completely, inside and out. The thought made Kefir even more embarrassed and angry.

In a fleeting moment, the giant “fist” made of stone was already greeting Kefir!

“Annoying, you piece of rock!”

Magic power nearly depleted, but Kefir had figured out the weak points and trajectory of the “stone giant” Ogelid mentioned. Retreating to avoid the trajectory of the fist, the wind from the punch blew Kefir’s long hair, making Kefir realize that the “end” had come.

“I’ll leave it to that charlatan to name it afterward…”

After a brief daydream, Kefiel’s blade fiercely whipped up a blizzard, the relentless cold wind immediately slowing the stone giant’s advance! It was only due to the rules that he had held back against Louis XXIII before, but had Kefiel unleashed his full magical power, Louis would have turned into a block of ice long ago!

Following swiftly, Kefiel’s blade glided across the icy base of the stone giant’s feet. As the giant lost balance due to its towering height and crashed down, Kefiel nimbly wall-ran along the surrounding walls and landed atop its head, plunging his sword into a red magic stone—the giant’s weak point and source of magic!

After a tremor, the stone giant, referred to as the “BOSS” by Ogelid, finally ceased to move.

“Phew…”

After all, it was a colossal creature whose weakness had to be discerned from the start. Even Kefiel felt a bit weary from the excessive use of magic, taking a deep breath as he leaped down and began to survey his surroundings.

Indeed, as the stone giant fell, the ground where it once “stood” slowly cracked open, revealing a door leading underground, just as Ogelid had “predicted”—【Once the BOSS is down, a secret passage or treasure chest is bound to appear.】

Does that charlatan know everything?

At this thought, Kefiel suddenly realized: he wasn’t as thrilled as he had imagined. It wasn’t because the opponent was too weak or the process too smooth and boring, but rather…

It was related to that charlatan.

The fact that he was the infamous charlatan Ogelid on the continent was true, and although he had “surrendered,” his constant advice and suggestions by Kefiel’s side were too much, too… correct, and without asking for anything in return. At most, he would just hide behind Kefiel when trouble arose, given his lack of strength.

Could there be such a saintly man in this world? Of course not. So, what was Ogelid’s purpose? No… wasn’t it related to Kefiel himself?

What this relation was, seemed like… even a child could guess.

Kefiel pondered this question all the way: to reply or not? If so, how should he reply? Such matters were truly beyond Kefiel’s understanding.

“Better hurry and search, then go back and meet up with the charlatan.”

Trying to calm himself, Kefiel prepared to sheathe his weapon. However, the hand gripping the sword tightened even more the next moment.

He had been a bit careless, having had to go all out against the stone just now, which made him only now aware of his surroundings. No, rather, considering that the three ill-intentioned candidates from the Rosian Empire hadn’t come to “cause trouble” these past few days, it was indeed an oversight amidst his worries…

Kefiel spun around, and as his skirt fluttered, he drew a dagger from beneath and threw it out!

“Typical of the Rosian Empire, their shameless and domineering nature hasn’t changed one bit.”

Choosing to appear right after he had dealt with the stone giant, they were clearly here for a “robbery.”

Kefiel furrowed his brows.

“Stop hiding, you three from the Rosian Empire.”
