Chapter 100 – Welcome to Golem Trouble (2)
The cold air, colder than the autumn wind, lingered on my fingertips.
I am the one who brings winter. The lord of the frozen frigid. The great Lerricco Master of Arendelle.
For the next ten minutes, my name is Nord Menethil.
“Ancients unleashed a golem on Sargadis!!!”
─Bad!! I shouted, dyeing the mana coating of Beast Return blue light.
“All rush!!! Extract their hearts aaaaah!!!!”
“Excuse me. Is this person like this every time we fight?”
“You look cute when you look at it.”
I felt like I was stabbed in the back of the head by a horse flying from behind, but it’s okay. Bounced off It’s fine if it’s cute in Fran’s eyes.
“Aye.”
─Papapapat!! As he dashed while digging up the weeds in the meadow, the golems that looked like heaps of stones stood up lazily.
It’s slow. Even waking up.
“Good morning!!”
─Puff!! My frozen punch broke the golem’s head.
Of course, these puppies had only the core, so breaking the head would not mean much. Even if the head is completely blown off, it just looks at it and walks around well.
But damn, then why is there a head? Is it the fucking main camera?
“Bap bap bap bap bap bap bap bap bap bap! Good morning!! Bap b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b!”
He shouts the national rule notification bell that informs the weather and shoots his fist.
I even thought about blowing the weather trumpet, but it’s like magic, so it hurts even me. I endured it because I couldn’t suffer internal injuries against these trivial mobs.
─Pupper pup!!
Ice Punch’s rush froze the golem’s mud, making it easier to break.
In fact, there was no output enough to perform quick freezing, but the fact that the soil splattered was frozen and it became easier to shake it off was a good thing.
Well, if it was enough to freeze such a large golem, a person would turn into frozen human flesh in 10 seconds just by shaking my hand. 〈 Freezing Touch 〉 wasn’t that powerful.
“Sit down in the sky!! Four Wheels!!!”
─Pushyuk!! The core was pulled from the dug up chest.
Naturally born golems develop a core inside their chest. The stones holding mana did not become metal, and their limbs were attached to each other, so the position was almost the same.
─Whoops!
The golem raised its fist and collapsed. In terms of human beings, since their hearts and brains were removed, that is bound to happen.
Cut one with this one! I ran for the next target.
─Puff!!
Nearby, Fran was also fighting with a hammer. Since you can’t pierce mud skin with a knife, you compromised with a hammer.
“It’s nice~! Slow targets are good~♡!!”
At that time, Rari Lura, who raised her hongso, pulled the thread of her mana. ─Kiririk!! Ringling No. 3, who made fingers into capitals, aimed at the golem.
“I don’t like getting dirt on my joints~ I’ll get rid of it with this☆?”
─Keying!
The puppet clown’s fingernails were filled with light. Gathering mana! I could keep an eye out for what might come.
A general-purpose attack magic equivalent to the AK47 of another world!
“〈 Magic Missile 〉!!!”
“Why is your senior memorizing a spell?”
─To-do-do-do-do!! Aside from Ralilura’s absurdity, the magical arrow that flew in blew off one of the golem’s limbs.
〈 Magic Arrow 〉’s projectile was slow. Still, it was enough for the golem who wandered around like a sergeant who marched for three hours in full gear.
Larry Lura pulled the thread on her and undid the puppet’s magic.
“Hey~ Fran sister? Don’t get muddy, why don’t you collaborate with me? I don’t have the confidence to pull out the core well~♡”
“Good idea. This splattered a lot more dirt than I thought.”
─Swipe! Fran said, shaking off the dirt from the hand that pulled the core.
I also added an opinion while holding one of the golems and trying the evaporative freezing method.
“Let’s drop the limbs first and pull out the core later. These bastards can’t even run without their legs.”
“Agree♥!”
“Me too, Chansung… ♥?”
What is the voice It’s so damn cute.
“Ki yo yo yo yo yo yoyo——!!!”
I raised the frozen golem aloft, feeling the energy of a tiger, no, of Vector Man Bear, from Fran’s charm.
“Your bastard is pretty heavy!!!”
But for the magic kid who can handle the power of the Earth Hero, it’s not even worth half a bale of rice–Ah!!
“Ice block——partisan!!!”
─Thump!! The golem, which was thrown as hard as it could, collided with another, turned into a pile of dirt, and exploded into stillbirth. Sayonara, goodbye, adios.
Thud… ! Thud… !
Other earth golems rushed to work. It seemed that he was interested in the core I picked.
He would leave it alone if he was alive, but he seems to want the heart of the fallen brother. These are the people who live in the world of the weak. You probably don’t even have the intelligence to think of it.
I shouted, squeezing out mana to further lower the temperature of my hands.
“Sseoleongpo!!”
─Right!! I broke the arm of the guy who ran into it.
This fucking, 〈 Freezing Touch 〉’s area of effect was limited to the hand, so it was fucking hard to break the leg. Shouldn’t have come to learn bestowal magic properly!
“Bingin Seven Dances!!”
With the hand that built the capital, he cut off the leg and killed the golem. Squat down and get up as soon as the next guy attacks!
“Frozen Beam! Freeze Bolt! Freeze the world!”
─Puck! Puck! Tuck!
I hit and crushed all the guys who were constantly attacking me.
“Dogs!! The technical repertoire is exhausted!! Please stop!!”
Why are these fuckers only coming to me!! This house aggro is so fucking good!!
“Gaaaaah Dirt got into my mouth. Ah!”
“I think you can do it with your mouth.”
Anyway, the messy battle continued.
I, who evolved into a limb slicer, broke the golem’s limbs, and 〈 magic arrows 〉 adorned the battlefield. Fran smashes the golem’s leg with a hammer and then goes into the support.
“Gone, the specter of Boryeong——!!!”
With my final uppercut finish, 10 golems were wiped out.
Although it was messy, it was a smooth victory. When I posted it on the Internet, I was misunderstood as a scotchung, and it became a visual that seemed like I could get fired in a minute, but I just need to brush it up.
“Oh, Golem… I said cut…”
I shook my body like a dog that stepped on muddy water and shook off the soil. ─Patter!! Some of the frozen soil is metal armor, so it fell easier than expected.
“I wonder if all the other golems are made of mud like this. You had better come up with something to deal with.”
Fran said while wiping the hammer with a cleaning cloth. I replied that I would understand because I am a creature that unconditionally follows my girlfriend’s words.
No, to be precise——I was going to.
Shuwaaaaagh—!
“Five?”
Brown mana rising from a fallen golem!
It was a sight that wasn’t too surprising now. I opened my arms and accepted the mana flying towards me.
Paah-!
Wow…
The feeling that my mana pain is increasing!
This was the third mana succession I experienced.
“Senior? What’s going on?”
“Uh. Just wait for sleep.”
Ralilura looked at me as if it was strange when I suddenly had a slingshot and asked. I gave a rough answer and wiped the golem’s core clean with 〈 Water Creation 〉 magic.
Looking at the cancer, it was a normal-looking stone except for the mana. There were no engravings or letters left on the surface.
‘… Is it my mistake?’
I rolled my eyeballs at the pebbles.
Until now, mana succession only happened when people who knew how to handle runes were defeated. So I thought that these golems were also made with rune magic, but it seemed I was mistaken.
It wasn’t even runes engraved on the core, and I couldn’t feel any mana from the pile of dirt.
Your guess that it is a naturally formed golem is probably correct.
Since the wizard guild did a complete investigation, it’s probably more certain than the brain of the archaeologist who is the head of the master’s class.
Therefore.
“Is this the burning event Gak?”
I murmured as I measured the increase in mana pain I felt inside my body.
──Anyway, while this happening continued, I seemed to be quite busy.
***
There are several ways to increase mana.
The most common method is practice.
Whether a warrior trains his body or a mage meditates, it is all to increase mana barrels and make the body familiar with mana.
In that respect, the mana succession that occurs in my body serves as a kind of cheat key.
To the extent that in one day, he could fill the increase in mana that others would gain through months of training.
However, there are some problems with this fucking attribute training method.
‘Do you want to know the exact principle of mana succession?’
So in the future, find the hobgoblin shaman and get it!! I can’t say for sure that even if I do this shit, my mana will increase.
If you eat all the wild ginseng in one sitting, the amount of buffs goes into a multiplication calculation, so you get better and your body gets better.
Even if you catch the same monster, you can’t feel how much more mana succession will happen!
Because I was like that, this opportunity was a chance that was hard to miss.
‘The efficiency of Golem experience has decreased.’
It’s a chance to make a big leap.
The amount of mana obtained from 10 golems was almost negligible, but if you catch 100 golems, it seemed that you would be able to increase the amount of mana similar to when you killed the tabula.
Even 0.1% becomes 10% if you collect 100 times!
In the 2000s, my experience and bar calculation ability, trained since the days of Jammin, wriggled!
This was a kind of burning event and jumping event!
Shit, huh? Every time you catch a mob, your stats increase exponentially! A bastard who misses this is an idiot!
Imagine that my INT increases by 1 every time I catch a stone golem! It is an event not to be missed!
“So I thought. Could the golem be my enemy? Do.”
“I’m starting to get a feel for the senior’s personality now☆!”
Said Larry Lura, eating a sandwich on her mat. She eats well even though she dresses up as him. It was the skill of a skilled actor.
They say historical drama actors have a hard time eating because of their beards, but they don’t seem to care much because all they do is draw shapes on their cheeks.
“I heard that you are a very personable person. From an archaeologist to an adventurer, from a wizard to a warrior, if you want to be smart, you’re stupid, and if you want to be weird, you’re normal.”
“Are you afraid?”
“Not at all♡! Jung-gu Heating’s thinking ability is the talent of a clown☆!”
“I am Nord, a man like Buffet. He is a man who gives pleasure with a change of taste that he never gets tired of.”
“Honestly, every day is new.”
“Fran. Now, those words make my heart ache a little.”
Anyway, after hearing about my circumstances—I just said it because I was exposed to my activities as Arthur Wayne—Larilura showed interest in the ups and downs of my life.
“Really, indeed. It was an exciting talk♡! If it was an old story, I would like to adapt it a little and make it a story!”
“Don’t use other people’s secrets for business ramblings.”
I can see why YouTubers and cartoonists are told not to talk about personal things. I’m a bit nervous.
“Aha! Are you doubting the heaviness of my mouth~☆?”
Larry Lura tapped her on the chest as if to trust him. ─Rumble! The subtle big breasts, hardly visible to a self-proclaimed minor, swayed at the movement.
“Stop worrying about that! A clown’s mouth is like the cornerstone of a building! It should be strong and excellent, but if you don’t properly guard it, it will fall apart! The first-class clown Lalilura’s mouth is heavier than a rock♡!”
“I will believe. Priscilla.”
“Don’t call me by your real name, Buko-senpai.”
After lunch, we took a short break.
“If you’re going to talk about fighting for the safety of Sargadis, you’d better join a guild union that has been created over there, right?”
“Although the senior now casually makes trash remarks, I will agree with her words themselves.”
“The pay and treatment will be different for those who took part in the battle in earnest and those who caught only the golems that got away with it.”
“OK. After all, I’ll have to return to Sargadis to benefit.”
Our conclusion was to return to Sargadis with only the last job’s pay from the guards.
“Lalilura. Are you going to go to Sargadis and participate in the golem subjugation? You don’t have to force yourself to hang out because of loyalty.”
When I asked, Lalilura shook her head.
“Hmm~. Conversely, how were your seniors and older sisters? Did I help you in the previous fight?”
“Yes. It’s more than enough.”
“That’s right. You are stronger than I thought.”
Frank and I agreed without thinking.
The attack power of the puppet was beyond my imagination. Even thinking about the jumping power he showed off while rescuing Erica the other day, it seemed like he was stronger than me in normal mode.
“But what was the 〈 magic arrow 〉? Did you write it?”
“The mana was written by me, but the magic comes from the magic circle attached to the puppet’s arm. Because it is low-level magic, Mr. Mirdlen, the magician of our circus troupe, engraved it as a birthday present for her ~ ♡.”
“Ah, is it enchantment magic?”
“Yes. When mana runs out, Lingling can’t even control the 3rd, so I don’t use it when I need a long fight☆.”
In that case, do you fight instead with a long needle shot from your mouth or a puppet’s punch?
A variety of functions are the strengths of puppets. There must still be a lot of hidden gimmicks. Frank said seriously.
“It will be reassuring to have Ralilura at the party. I want Norr to help me not to overdo it alone again.”
Hehe~♥! It can’t be helped if you say that!”
─Papat! Lalilura laughed as she made her big gesture.
“The two of you’s hearts have reached me☆! I’m going to excuse myself for being at your party for a while♡!
“Yes. Thanks.”
Excuse me? It’s just a silly expression. Fran raised her finger as I thanked her.
“Would you split the reward 1:1:1? Are you fine?”
“I leave that to you! Because I don’t believe in people playing with money!”
“Thank you for trusting me, but learn to take care of yourself. Don’t go to a strict place later and be scammed.”
“Yes~♡!”
Lalilura answers with a voice full of charm. I don’t know if you understand or not.
It’s okay because you’ll be by our side for a while. I said as I picked up the fresh bread.
“Great. Let’s take a short break and clean the golems around Haysbent until tonight, then return to Sargadis as soon as we get paid.”
I don’t know when I’ll be leaving, so I’ll have to say goodbye to Erica tomorrow too.
Perhaps Sargadis’ mission to clear the golems will begin soon.
