Chapter 82: Solomon’s Curse ----- The moment I stepped into the first room, the statues seemed harmless, but as soon as I turned my back, three of them leaped at me, attempting to crush me. CLASH! Thankfully, I reacted on time. If I hadn’t buffed myself beforehand, things might have gone a bit awry, though. Especially because these statues were so strong, they made slight cracks on the floor. “…” However, the moment I glanced back at them, they stopped moving, staying still on the floor. As if they had never moved by themselves. “So that’s how you work?” I swung Gram horizontally, channeling the power of my [Sunlight Blade (B)] skill, unleashing several slashes of pure light against them. However, they barely developed any cracks in their bodies. Apparently, while in this state, their defenses increased a lot. I wonder if it would be the same if I turned around? “OOOHH!” A statue reached my back. This time, I didn’t look at it directly, but I quickly merged the power of [Great Sorceress (S)] with [Sunlight Blade (B)], creating a ring of blades made of light, and fired them towards the statue. All three blades of light pierced their bodies cleanly this time; the statue gave a last scream before collapsing into pieces and leaving behind a shiny yellow crystal. [“So, they’re weaker when they attack, but once they stay still, their defenses increase drastically!”] “Yeah, more or less,” I laughed at Gram. There’s just one problem. They’re too fast. If I show my back to too many of them at once, I won’t be able to slay them all due to their speed. At most, I can focus on two at the same time. Too many, and I can only defend, which will bring us back to the same problem. “I know…” I quickly stepped into the gates and turned around there. Then, I moved slowly, barely exposing my back to the statue closest to me on the left. With a furious scream, the statue flew towards me, swinging a stone sword towards my neck. It was fast and deadly, but I was expecting this! “{Sunlight Blade}!” Imbuing the power of the skill into Gram, I swung the blade vertically into the sky, the attack quickly reaching the statue midair. CRASH! The entire thing crumbled apart instantly, leaving behind stone and yet another yellow crystal. I guess this is why that angel couldn’t fight them, though. They’re too fast, and he lacks wings and looks very weak. For this trial, what’s necessary is proper planning and reaction speed. Though, didn’t he say that these statues were people? [“Well done; now kill the others and get going.”] “Are these statues... angels that were cursed in these forms?” I wondered. “{Eye of Truth}” [You have utilized {Eye of Truth}; you have deciphered what these monsters are!] [Petrified Angel (B- Rank)]: [A low-rank angel that lived in the Celestial Realm. Cursed by the Eyes of Solomon, it has been forever converted into a vengeful, weeping statue that only moves when someone within their range gives them their back. While moving, their defenses decrease, but their attack power increases.] [While being stationary, their defenses make them nearly indestructible. Because they have been in this state for thousands of years, they cannot return to normal and are technically classified as undead monsters. The only way to save them is by breaking their petrified bodies and freeing the crystallized soul inside.] Eyes of Solomon? Not something like Medusa? So, these people are really angels. Ugh, now that makes me feel strange. But... that guy said they had been cursed for eternity in these forms. I don’t know if it’s true, but if that’s the case, they might not be able to go back to normal anymore. If those crystals are their hearts, then they might contain their souls. This entire trial is about freeing these people from... whoever this “Solomon” is. I don’t remember him from the novel. [“What are you looking at?”] “Never mind. Let’s continue.” I continued to slowly show my back to them while intercepting their attacks. Over an entire hour, I took
