"There's no point caring about the rest of them, the puppets will take care of them." I said to the other avatars that were here.

Though even if I didn't say it, it wasn't as if they didn't know this as well.

Since we had already taken down one group of the Advanced Perfumers, it would be easier once Faust turned them into puppets as well.

Though they would certainly lose a lot of power since shattering their souls would cause memory loss.

The main power of the Advanced Perfumers came from their perfume recipes and losing their memories meant losing a part of this. If they didn't have their perfumes, then they really wouldn't be Perfumers anymore.

Still, they would be powerful puppets for what we were planning to do next.

At the same time, they would be able to take care of the other Advanced Perfumers that were still waiting outside.

The only thing that they had to do now was buy time while we dug out the treasure.

It was finally time for us to find that item.

"It's done, but I won't be able to make any other puppets for the time being." Faust said after he finished creating puppets from the Advanced Perfumers.

But Tempest suddenly said, "It's fine, I'll take care of it."

He didn't take care of it with his main body, but rather he took care of it by summoning the slime clones that he had used to deal with the Advanced Perfumers earlier.

With a single thought from Tempest, those slime clones changed into the shape of a lich.

It was clear that they were supposed to be an imitation of Faust.

Faust narrowed his eyes…or rather the flames in his eyes became smaller as he looked at these clones before saying, "They don't look like me at all."

Though he said this, they really looked exactly the same to the rest of us.

But we knew better than to say anything about this to him.

Once the clones had been formed, we all sent a bit of our mana to the clones while Faust shared his experience with the Soul Puppet Spell with them. With this, they would be able to take care of any of the other Advanced Perfumers that entered this place.

Since that was taken care of, there was no need for us to worry about them as the slime clones would be able to stall the Advanced Perfumers.

All of us took a specific tunnel when we headed out.

There was no hesitation at all that came from us since we all knew that this was the right tunnel.

While we had been setting up the trap, we had already explored this place a bit and had already figured the correct way to that item. We had made sure to mark the area so that we would be able to find it right away.

After walking for a bit, we arrived at a place where a slime was waiting for us.

This was the slime clone that Tempest had left here as a beacon so that we would be able to find this place quickly.

Once we were here, we didn't actually do anything.

Instead, we all turned to Tempest and waited for him to do something.

Tempest knew exactly what to do, so he didn't waste more time in bringing out even more slime clones and using them to dig into the ground.

Even though we had come here to find that item, we still had to dig into the ground to find it.

But that wasn't because these tunnels didn't lead to that item.

Rather, it was because this was a shortcut to that item that no one else knew about.

If we followed the tunnels, we would have eventually been able to find our way to that item that we were looking for. The problem was that it would have taken a long time since there were many things to deal with along the way.

To obtain that thing, one had to pass through the various tests that had been left in this place. We had made sure to scout out the tunnels and had already found traces of this.

There was no doubt that in the game, this would have been some kind of hidden dungeon if one had been able to find it ahead of time.

But after exploring this place, we had found that there was a simpler way for this.

The tunnels were actually layered on top of each other as they led deeper and deeper into the ground.

That meant that as long as we dug down, we would be able to reach the bottom of this place. We would be able to directly reach the thing that we were looking for if we just dug straight down.

For others, this wouldn't have been an option because of how hard it would have been for them to dig down. After all, the materials of this place weren't normal, it had been specially created to prevent someone from doing this.

But the power that the slime clones possessed made it possible.

They had skills that allowed them to shift the material of this tunnel around and dig right down.

So that was what they did.

We were planning on digging all the way to the bottom where the treasure was.

But in the end, this process was quite slow.

Even though the slime clones had the ability to dig through the ground, that didn't mean that they were strong enough to dig faster than this. They could only slowly use their skills to whittle away at the ground.

We should have used the slime clones to dig down a long time ago, but the moment that that item was revealed, there was no doubt that it would have caused a commotion.

That was why we hadn't done anything as we waited for us to gather before starting to dig.

It was only when we were together that we would be able to suppress it.
