Chapter 42: The dangerous adventurer debut fight

Plot
The group is heading to the Ancient ruins and Burkhart is giving a history of the ruins. He explains that the Adventurers Guild had sent 3 veteran parties to clear the ruins, but no one ever returned. Since no one returned it was assumes that either a Demon or Dragon was in the ruins. The Adventurer Guild didn't want Burkhart to go with them and wanted to send one of there own veteran adventurers, but Burkhart wouldn't accept that and Wend felt that they would probably die if that was the case. The group arrives at the ruins and enters they travel for about 30 minutes and come upon a Dragon made of metal, Burkhart tells everyone to withdraw and prepare for combat. It turns out the Dragon is a golem from the Ancient Magic Civilization. As they are pulling back the dragon attacks and they spend the next hour and a half in a stalemate Finally after half a day of fighting the golem finally runs out of mana and Louise finds a switch under it and turns it off(really?). They enter the room behind the golem and the room is empty, Burkhart tells everyone to hurry and leave, but before they can a reverse magic teleportation array activates and sends them to the bottom level of the ruins. They wake up after 3 hours and realize they have been teleported to the lower levels and decide to start heading back to the top. Ina suggests the Wend teleport them out, but he explains he has to know where he is to be able to teleport. As the start to move out they encounter different solider golems and start to fight in rotations to conserve mana and energy. Around a week goes by with them moving up levels as they continue to fight golems. They reach a room that has another dragon golem, but this one is connected to an array they supplies it with mana. As they fight everyone is slowly losing mana. Burkhart gives the rest of his mana to Wend to try and defeat the dragon golem, but it is not enough. Wend tells everyone he is sorry as he is running out of mana. Elise see this and comes running to him telling him "No I will become your wife" she then kisses him while casting Light of Miracles. The spell restores enough of Wend mana and enables him to finally defeat the golem. Wend used the rest of his mana to blow up the golems head and doing so caused all the other golems to also stop. Before passing out Wend tells Erwin "I leave the rest to you."
