Dying? Someone like Johannes is dying? That's the funniest joke ever. Well, though Johannes saying that he could die, he has no reason to die now. But he has other reasons for saying that he could die inside this dungeon.
'If I can't go back in 2 hours, I could use this reason to sell the stolen items in the black market. The Adventurer's Guild wouldn't want to send the adventurer in the dungeon that even the Slayer won't survive, at most, they would send someone strong to supervise the dungeon. And even if I came out alive and sound then I can just say that I'm lucky' thought Johannes
With 'Untraceable' no one can find Johannes if he is cautious enough. But all of that is not all of his objectives.
'While no one enters the dungeon, I could use this time to study the dungeon core'
Why study it you say? Of course, it's to be the god.
'I could be a new god in this world' Johannes clenches his fist 'Well, that's a too distant goal'
Although he could become god by paying billion or trillion of gold coins, if he could be one without the needing of spending a single copper coin is better than spending billion right? And finding that amount of gold coins is unrealistic in this kind of world.
Johannes walking ahead dozens of meters and saw the corpse of villagers. Their corpse was only mincemeat that was infested by the larva of a strange insect. From the looks of it, they should be dead more than 3-4 days. Most of the equipment was broken in bits and pieces.
'This looks like they were smashed by heavy object...'
Johannes using 'All-seeing eyes' and saw a group of armed villagers, walking in this path before something huge smashing on them.
'Golem?'
The things that most likely to describe it are the golem. An animated object from clay or dirt, but in his eyes is the golem made from iron with flexible joints enough to perform human action without its speed lowered.
This is another ability of All-seeing eyes, it could look into the short past that happened before.
'How could a newborn dungeon create golem?' Johannes thinking
From his little knowledge, the dungeon is something that will create monsters inside it depending on the connection of the dead god. The Riverfall's dungeon has a connection with Hungry ghost Realm so they can create a monster from it.

'Does this mean that this dead god is some alchemist god or something?'
In this world age, creating golem and the magical carriage aren't hard. Using magic, everything is possible. But because everything's possible, it makes Johannes uneasy.
'If it's really is alchemist god then what about 10th floor? Is it gonna make cannon golem?'
Well, there's a reason for Johannes being afraid. His 'Untraceable' is an ability that makes him unnoticed, his figure and traces can't be noticed by creatures' eyes, his voice can't be noticed by sensory organs, his smell also can't be noticed. To be correct, It's more like the instant that they notice Johannes, they have forgotten about him immediately.
All of them will go unnoticed, all the senses, even the sixth sense is not an exception.
The real invisible can't be seen, but it can be smelled, some creatures with heat perceive organs still notice them, the sound doesn't disappear, when someone touches them, they'll notice immediately that there's someone invisible. And if the someone in invisible write something or leave something as evident, other people can notice it unlike 'Untraceable'.
Since Johannes still can be seen but was forgot by that creature, but what if there is something that can't forget about Johannes?
Golem is one of them. Johannes can't delete data from inside their hardware, although he can if he upgrades 'Untraceable' again.
'Should I upgrade it now? ...No, it seems too wasteful for now. My fighting power is enough to overwhelm them without 'Untraceable' and if I want to upgrade it, then I'll upgrade it to the level that even gods can't notice'
Johannes has met the local god or fairy before and has god's essence in his Greedy Realm but even he hasn't met the real god before. He has a reason why he has to upgrade it to have the power to went unnoticed under the gods' nose.
'What I'm going to do from now on may be an eyesore to them'
Johannes ignored the rest of mincemeat and heading deeper into the labyrinth, and as expected, few dozens of meters later he found the silhouette of the iron giant.
It stood 2m, with an ironclad body, its body is shaped to be a humanoid. It has no weapon since every part of it is a weapon, sound of unknown origin came from the engines inside of its body. It has no eyes since it used a sensor instead of an eye.
"Unbelievable..." said Johannes 'I could sell this guy for tens of thousands of gold coins'
BOOM!
The instant that iron golem found Johannes, it charges at him with speed faster than the horse. With its body and weight, its right hand swung at Johannes at full-power and produce "Boom" sound.
The floor under Johannes cracked with a cobweb-like pattern. And with another burst of sound produced from the engines, the right hand that still crushing Johannes emit the brilliant white light.
Flames of bright orange color lick Johannes's entire body. The air distorted and twisted by the sheer heat alone. The floor is melting into liquid and starts to emit the same light. Everything 10m around golem radius turned into the world of flames.
10 seconds later, the golem stops the fire and look at the place that Johannes once stood.
There is nothing.
Everything was vaporized by that intense flames alone. Simple, fast, and efficient.
Turning back, the golem going to do the task, given by its master, guarding this place.
"Oi. You bastard"
But before it could go back, the bloody greatsword, not smaller than its height, was swung at its head. The burning hot air was cut in a clean hit before the greatsword connects to its head.
