"…"
"Huh…. He ain't attacking?" – said Ariava as she observed both dungeons with her familiars.
(Beast dungeon already attacked third time, but it does not look like the golem dungeon is planning on attacking back?)
(Is he planning on amassing a giant invasion force?)
(Is he a idiot?)
(The beast dungeon can do the same in order to fortify their own defenses.)
(Or is he waiting for the beast dungeon to run out of their own miasma?)
(…..Hm…. Well, if he is idiot, then this will be lesson for him….. Or maybe he is scared?)
(The grey bears were bit of over kill.)
(Welp, it may had killed his hope.)
(The golems were able to deal with the wolves, but the bear just demolished them all.)
(But he has those crossbow golems…. Is he planning on spawning crossbow golems?)
(That would be idiotic plan like hell.)
(I already see a lot of flaws in those crossbow golems, if he were to send invasion force that is only made out of those guys, then….. Oh wait… Ah, I get it.)
(He is either making some new golem or improving the original golem designs.)
(Make sense.)
(His new golem are clearly stronger than his previous ones, even though they are both E ranks.)
(But the D rank monsters difference in power? It is huge.)
(He either needs to create a lot of golems that won't go down easily and will be able to wound the bear much more easier…. Or make a single golem that would be able to stand their ground against the bear.)
"…."
"But does he remembers that he has a time limit." – said Ariava as she shot out blood from the palm of her hand, which ended up almost instantly taking a form of an hound with more savage appearance the regular hound that had also a pair of bend horns and an third eye on its forehead.
"Go." – Ariava before moments the creature quickly ran to the golem dungeon, arriving at its destination quiet fast.
"…"
"?"
"?!"
(Attack!) – thought the dungeon master as it checked who entered the dungeon.
"?"
(Monster made out of blood? Is this Ariava servant?) – thought the dungeon master as he ordered the golems to stand down and allow the beast to pass unbothered through the dungeon, before then arriving in area near the dungeon master room.
"Hey. Can you hear me?" – asked Ariava through the hound as it transformed its eye on its forehead into a mouth.
"Can you come out? I don't want to peek inside, so I'm here."
"…"
Dungeon master walked towards the entrance of the room, meting up with the beast made out of blood.
"?"
"Confused? It's me Ariava." – said the demon woman through her familiar.
"I can use this guy to communicate from afar."
"Anyway, I only came here to do a small reminder."
"Time limit."
"You are not forgetting about it, right?"
"And the time limit is regarding you destroying the dungeon core of the beast dungeon."
"Got it?"
"…"
The puppet nodded its head.
"Good? Good."
"Anyway, I won't be spying on your dungeon or anything. I only came here to give you heads up."
"No matter if this dungeon survives or not, you have to destroy the beast dungeon before time is up."
"Got it?"
"Good."
"Well then, I won't bother you anymore, bye." – said the monster hound before then turning around and quickly running away.
"…"
(I know about time limit.) – thought the dungeon master as he walked back towards his workshop.
(But I can't attack.)
(The bears will demolish my golems.)
(Crossbow golems can deal with them, but what about the wolves? They have numbers, they will kill destroy them.)
(Some wolves will take too many bolts, killing them of course, but also shielding the wolves behind them.)
(Crossbows was good choice…. But at the same time, not correct….)
(The blade and hammer golems can deal with wolves.)
(The crossbow golems can provide support from afar.)
(But what about the bears?)
(I can't stop them.)
(I need something that can take a hit from them and not be instantly crushed.)
(I need a monster like that bear.)
"…"
Days went by and the golem dungeon has not made even a single attempt at attacking beast dungeon.
Even when beast dungeon send out their own troops, even when the bears once again entered the dungeon and ended up demolish countless golems, the demoness only observed as only blade, hammer and crossbow golems confronted them.
And afterwords? Silence again. The golem dungeon has yet to launch even one attack from its side.
"…"
(Still nothing mate?) – thought Ariava.
(I know you are planning something, but you do realize that you may not win during the first attack, right?)
*Sigh*
"Is he over confided? Or is he just idiot that did not consider something as simple as that?"
"…"
"Welp, let him suffer."
(Better for him to suffer than not if he wishes to learn more about how things work.)
(But honestly? I really don't want to get disappointed.)
(I mean, he is making me wait for so long, so I at least he won't bring out some golems that he thinks are okay, but they will fail pathetic….. You know, considering his current situation, it would really not surprise if he did that kind of fail…. Wow…. Now I've not notice basic problem, eh?)
(Maybe I've should had given him week up to single month more?)
"Hm…. No… If I do this now, it will look like I'm spooling him and he will depend way too heavily on me…."
"But at this rate he will fail not because he failed of his incompetence, but instead because of me miscalculating few things…."
"Hm…."
(Em… Lets just see how things will go… If anything, I could just give him some punishment that wouldn't be too harsh…. Wait, but I do need give him harsh punishment if he were to fail, since….?)
"…"
"Huh…. Interesting."
"I guess this guy is finished with his preparation... And now he is the one on the offence…."
"…"
"Show me what you got, my little doll."
