8. THE WONDERS OF ANALYZATION
Mmmm... What the hell is this?
[Golgoth's Eyes(Infant Cyclops eye)- A eye that enhances the curse magic of the wielder. A part of a greater artifact.
Spells Imbued: Curse Bullet, All Seeing]
"Isn't worth anything actually, but it's a part of a greater artifact?"
[Yes, Master. It will probably be a key to getting inside the inner city, in my opinion. I believe they divided the key into three pieces and delivered each to one of the three outer denizens' chiefs.]
"...Isn't that really incredibly dumb? Sure, it will be annoying to murder all three chiefs in order to retrieve all three, but wouldn't the safety increase if they destroyed the key in the first place? They could play kingdom come and contentedly tuck themselves within their barrier."
[Master, I think they are waiting for a champion.]
"...."
[Champion means the one who will unite the 3 races. So that the main leader Kalaham could gain a new lackey who would be useful.]
"That's actually a good plan. But isn't it risky for outside forces such as myself to invade using this loophole?"
[Well, they can't do anything about that. First of all, demons are creatures who revere all kinds of power. So they will do anything to reach that.]
"But that isn't actually gaining power, is it? That's just getting another lackey who might just betray you for power."
[They are demons, master. Do you really believe they will consider that possibility? Particularly if they are Demons of Low Rank. Their primary motivators are instincts and desires. For a demon to maintain a sensible mentality. They must at the very least achieve the middle rank. They simply aim to increase their authority in any manner that they can, whether directly or indirectly. In this situation, they are not even required to take any action. They simply have to sit back and observe while they battle it out amongst themselves.]
"Mmmm you're right..."
"Now why don't we analyze this eye"

"Ok, now Linda, is there any energy in this eye?"
[Yes, Master]
"Can I absorb it? Like I absolutely need the key for opening the barrier."
[You don't have to worry, Master. If you want to open the barrier, you just have to touch it and let me analyze it. I can open the barrier for you.]
"Well, that's easy I guess, I kinda feel like I am cheating."
[Master, you were cheating from the start.] she said in her cute voice with absolutely no ill-intent
"..."
She really said that with no intention to roast me and that further rubs me in the wrong way. Sigh
"Linda, how about we kill all of these Minotaurs." I tried to move on to the next topic to avoid the awkward atmosphere.
[That is your quest, Master! you have to do it anyway]
"..."
I was just trying to- Sigh Let's just move on.
[M-Master Did I do something wrong???]
"Nope, Nada, Nahi, Ella"
[Ohh!! God!!! I did something wrong didn't I]
"Linda, Let's move on from our dark past"
[Y-Yes! Master!!]
[All Seeing]
A certain pulse started to surround the whole area with me as its center. When the pulse returned, there were footprints of purple color. It was retracing the path of the dead minotaur. Well, I guess this makes things simple.
Before I move "Absorb"
[Golgoth's eye has been absorbed]
+ 10,000 E
[Energy: 14,430]
[Curse Magic's affinity has risen to the highest stage]
Now, Let's move
When I retraced the footprints of the Minotaur. I was led to a cave. A scary-looking cave. I asked Linda to analyze the cave and Linda said to me that there are 50 life signs inside the cave and they all were minotaurs.
Now I was wondering, how the hell are the minotaurs culling the orcs with this much difference in numbers? Guess I'm about to find out huh?
"Linda, can you keep a countdown for their numbers?"
[50]
"Good, Now I can only opt for direct fighting right?"
[Yes, Master. Minotaurs' vitality and physique are good so that they can resist the virus and even grow stronger from it by mutation.]
Well, We are gonna deal with this mano-a-mano.
"Ok, let's go"
