New chapter of Let’s Create a Dungeon is out! (7/12 chapters)
As I Expected, She Hasn’t Reflected

The armor strength of a metal golem varies depending on the type of metal used as its material. The metal golems in this tower appeared to be made of materials more advanced than typical ones, making it difficult even to scratch them. However, for Leon, such differences were within the margin of error. He easily sliced through the endlessly appearing metal golems with his sword, just like he did with normal golems.
“Wait, why is that kid cutting through metal golems like it’s nothing…?” (Mina)
“If you let it bother you, you lose.” (Filia)
The twins were doing their best not to be outdone by Leon, but they were understandably struggling a little.
““Ouch.”” (Arc/Irius)
The impact delivered to the metal armor bounced back at them, causing them to grimace unintentionally. Even so, the spots they kicked were greatly dented, showing they were definitely dealing damage.
『Impressive~』 (Sura)
Sura seemed to have judged that tackles were not effective, so she stretched her body and, for example, wrapped herself around the arm or leg of a metal golem.
*Meki meki meki meki!*
With added rotation, she forcibly tore it apart. Especially for walking-type golems, having their legs destroyed left them immobile, so it was quite an effective tactic. However, the terrifying thing was not just the golems. The higher they climbed in the tower, the more troublesome and malicious the traps became.
“Mina-oneechan, if you step on that floor tile that’s a different color, it’ll explode.” (Leon)
“E-explode!? T-that was close… I mean, couldn’t you have told me a bit sooner!? N-no, I totally noticed it myself though!” (Mina)
“You fool, what’s the point of acting tough at a time like this!” (Filia)
“Filia-oneechan, crouch down. An axe is flying.” (Leon)
“Wha—!?” (Filia)
Thanks to Leon, who could detect traps in advance, they managed to avoid them, but each one was deadly. If they got caught by one directly, it would surely be fatal.
“I’ve had enough… I just want to go back to the surface…” (Mina)
“…I feel the same.” (Filia)
Faced with a tower that grew increasingly vicious, the two were completely exhausted.
“It’s okay. We’re probably almost at the top floor. Besides, look, there’s the staircase.” (Leon)
Leon pointed ahead as if to comfort them. Sure enough, a staircase was there.
“The top floor… Th-then there’s got to be at least one or two treasures, right!?” (Mina)
“Even if there are treasures, do you really think I would permit your looting?” (Filia)
Filia glared at the shameless thief, who had suddenly started sparkling with excitement.
“R-right… I mean, what was even the point of breaking in here then!? All that effort for nothing!” (Mina)
“As I thought, you haven’t reflected at all, have you?” (Filia)
While the two exchanged such words behind him, Leon proceeded to ascend the stairs. The atmosphere beyond was different from what they had seen so far. There was no maze meant to confuse intruders, and in front of the staircase was simply a large door.
“I’d be happy if it were a treasure vault, but… I have nothing but a bad feeling about this…” (Mina)
“…I feel the same.” (Filia)
Imagining what lay ahead, they sighed.
““Should we open it?”” (Mina & Filia)
“Yeah.” (Leon)
When Leon nodded, the twins gave a little shout of ““Heave-ho”” and began pushing the door. Unlike the adults, they still seemed full of energy. With a heavy sound, the door slowly opened.
Inside was a wide space. The walls curved gently, forming a circular shape. It seemed the entire floor had been hollowed out into a single room, and although spacious, it was somewhat smaller than the floors they had seen until now. Given that the tower’s tip appeared narrower from the outside, they could tell this was close to the top of the tower.
And in the very center of that space, it stood.
“W-what is that ridiculously huge golem!?” (Mina)
“Don’t tell me… that thing moves too…?” (Filia)
Mina and the others involuntarily stepped back. That golem was so massive that it overwhelmed them just by its presence. It was probably about 15 meters tall. It was humanoid, of course, but its legs were short and its arms were long. With broad shoulders and a stocky build, it still stood firmly on two legs.
Perhaps it had detected Leon and the others’ intrusion, as the eye-like part on its head began to glow red. Then, as it slowly activated, it began to walk with a rumbling sound that shook the ground.
“Intruder… elimination… elimination… elimination!” (Golem)
“I-it’s coming this way!?” (Mina)
“But its speed is slow! If that’s the case, then we can evade—” (Filia)
Just as Filia was about to say that, the golem suddenly accelerated.
““!!?”” (Mina/Filia)
A speed unthinkable for such an enormous mass. It seemed there were rollers attached to the soles of its feet, as it glided toward them with smooth motion.
“Take care of her!” (Leon)
““Right!”” (Arc/Iris)
Leon quickly grabbed Filia, while the twins lifted Mina together. And just in time, they dodged the giant golem’s charge. The enormous golem, rather than crashing straight into the wall from its momentum, executed a perfect U-turn with remarkable balance and charged again.
“Take shelter beyond the door!” (Leon)
Leon forcefully tossed Filia away, then drew his sword to face the golem. Meanwhile, the elf, who was flung high through the air, somehow landed on the ground and said,
“Y-you—!” (Filia)
“I’ll take this thing down.” (Leon)
“That’s insane! Even for you—” (Filia)
“Hurry up and get over here! We’ll just get in the way if we stay!” (Mina)
“—Tch!” (Filia)
Pulled by Mina’s hand, Filia reluctantly retreated beyond the door. While confirming this out of the corner of his eye, Leon dodged the giant golem’s attack and delivered a slash to its torso.
“…Hard.” (Leon)
But it only left a slight scratch. Apparently, it was equipped with even more powerful armor than the previous golems.
It looks like I can’t take it down by just cutting it normally.
