Chapter 264 Part 2
Bronze Golem Lv.7
Demon Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: Ground Wind Resistance Earth Resistance
Here we go.
It’s getting more and more suspicious right?
I try to remember a lot about the maps I’ve seen so far.
Was there a connection between bugs, dinosaurs, stone, Egypt, and snakes?
Or golems?
But first, what to do with these guys?
That’s right.
These guys, that is.
There are four of them.
They are taller than the clay golem, but they seem to be less heavy.
But their movements are similarly sluggish.
They should be easy to escape.
Even if I were on foot, I could probably outrun it.
But here, I dare to fight.
The first step is to split them up.
「Pitfall!」
Let’s start with a standard spell.
That standard spell was a failure.
In terms of what exactly, it dropped all four of them into the pit.
No, I was going to leave one of them in the hole.
They fell without my permission.
Is it my fault?
I don’t think so.
I really thought they could avoid it with plenty of time!
How slow can you be?
Maybe in exchange with that, even if they fell into the hole in the pitfall, there was almost no damage.
I can only conclude that they’re tough and hard at the same time.
But still, bronze golems piled like potatoes being washed at the bottom of a pit?
It was a strange sight.
I wonder how I should deal with it?
For the moment, I don’t feel like canceling Pitfall.
Since they’re already there, I’m going to try out some spells to see how well they work.
This is no good.
I try various attack spells, but.
I don’t have any decisive spells.
What’s with the fact that I can’t tell the difference in damage between Force Bullet and Enemy Burn?
For the time being, I’m using Magma Field and Instant Simoon to slowly chip away at their HP.
This is going to be a stressful situation.
I want to hit them directly.
But why take such a risk in this situation?
I don’t want to participate in this potato-washing!
I’d probably end up dead normally.
And there I made the situation even worse.
If things got out of hand, I should have just run away.
And what did I do?
「Heat body!」
「Acid shower!」
There’s no doubt that Magma Field and Instant Simoon are both heat attacks.
I complimented them.
And while we’re at it, let’s add acid.
Once you’ve committed a crime, commit to it.
I only used Heat Body on one of the four.
What’s it like at the bottom of the hot hole?
It’s bad.
They’re still struggling with each other.
It’s still not that effective, is it?
No, it seems to have done quite a bit more damage.
But this is terrible.
It’s something I did.
Pitfall’s effect has worn off.
How much damage did the bronze golems take?
Maybe because they were rampaging at each other their HP seems to have fallen pretty well.
In fact, they probably took more damage from that than the spells themselves.
At first, I didn’t feel the heat.
But when I got a little closer, the heat was still great.
Damn!
I want to shove my spear into it, but this won’t do.
「Freezing blast!」
Now let’s cool it down.
I wonder if repeated expansion and contraction will make brittle fracture more likely.
It would be nice if we could crack one of them.
Well, I guess we can’t go to that much trouble.
And the spear attack?
It seems to be able to do pretty good damage.
The damage caused by the magic has the effect of lowering defense, you know.
I guess that alone was worth the effort.
Now then.
Let’s start with the ones whose HP bars are getting low.
What about pinning them?
I don’t need that, do I?
Their movements are still sluggish.
As long as I don’t get hit by a counter attack, I’ll be fine?
The sound of the wind noise caused by missed swings is scary.
But I’ll trust Zangetsu here.
In case of a direct hit, I’ll rely on Rig.
《Summon Monster『Rig』Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
Recently, Rig’s presence has been increasing.
Rig is standardly on the defensive, but in fact its main mission is to support Naiad.
He’s been very active against the Ogres, so it makes sense for him to level up.
That aside, there is one empty slot in this level-up.
What’s in that slot?
A resistance.
There are five resistances: light, dark, wind, earth, and water.
And it looks like the fire resistance is now a fire attribute.
It’s pretty much enhanced, huh?
Rig’s AGI has already increased.
I’ll put the other in VIT.
Rig Yellow Pudding Lv6→Lv7 (↑1)
DEX 19
AGI 13 (↑1)
INT 8
STR 8
VIT 13(↑1)
SPI 8
Skills:
Dissolve Shapeshift Viscosity Surface Tension Shift Nullify Physical
Lightning Attribute Fire Attribute (New!) Water Resistance (New!)
I guess that’s it.
Nevertheless.
The battle was long but steady.
I didn’t take a direct hit through the end, but I was in a cold sweat.
They’re all attacks that would one-shot me if they hit.
That’s scary.
It’s good that we won, but it took too long!
I don’t know if there’s anything I can do about that against a golem.
In fact, all of the golems I’ve fought so far have been troublesome.
I guess that’s the way it is.
And what the bronze golem left behind was, in a sense, a very natural substitute.
It’s something like this.
【Material】Copper Ore Quality C Rarity 3 Weight 5+
An ore that contains a certain percentage of copper. In addition to copper, it also contains tin and lead in most cases.
If you take into account the hassle of combat, I’d have to say it’s extremely unprofitable!
Well, as with gold ore, I’ll use it to test the Lava Magic spell Refine.
But still, I can’t believe all four of them left the copper ore behind.
Be more active at different times,【Disassembly】!
By the way, I’m curious.
It’s about control of the air in this map.
What kind of monster having to do with golems flies in the air?
Gargoyles have already appeared on another map, right?
Or maybe it’s a higher level of gargoyle?
If they’re not here, then the fly spell would be effective.
Killing Stone Lv.7
Phantom Enemy Target Active
Battle Position: In the Air, Ground Wind Attribute Earth Attribute Deadly Poison
Why is a stone flying in the sky?
Are you kidding me.
Poison attack.
Yes, this flying stone spreads poisonous gas near the ground.
Even with Detoxification, it’s still too nasty!
What about Gravity Prison?
Of course it’s working.
The little red marker displaying abnormal condition is properly there, but.
It’s flying.
It continues flying.
What the hell.
After the attribute seal took effect, it finally landed, but even so it was a mess to dispose of.
Now it’s rolling around with great force.
What about the killing stone I saw nearby?
It was a huge stone, slightly larger than Zangetsu.
I could see that the whole thing was emitting some kind of gas.
And the smell of sulfur.
Everyone but Rig was poisoned at least once while it was flying around.
What do you want me to do?
It’s a different kind of nuisance than a Lesser Basilisk.
In the end, I was able to kill it with Defensive Fall and a lance.
You can’t be reckless with them.
It rolled out of the Pitfall hole.
Nias’s song didn’t work either.
There were only a few behavior patterns, including attack methods, but it was still quite annoying.
I wanted to run away, but this thing flies.
He’s the type of guy who makes you want to run.
If I hadn’t gotten an item, I would have cried, you know?
【Material】Sulfur Flower Quality C Rarity 3 Weight 1+
A precipitation of hot spring minerals. It contains a variety of elements including sulfur.
It’s a product that looks like a slightly condensed powder.
Do you put in a bath to make it into a hot spring?
No wait, not that.
For all the hard work we put into hunting, isn’t the item we got kinda iffy?
I think so.
《Summon Monster『Nias』Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》
I gave priority to movement, so I was able to proceed while evading the Bronze and Stone Golems.
Only the killing stone is an interceptor.
A hard fight is inevitable, there’s nothing we can do about that.
Even in the midst of a hard battle like that though, I was happy.
I was accumulating a lot of things and this was just what I needed.
Nias’ DEX has already increased.
I put the other in VIT.
Nias Merrow Lv5→Lv6 (↑1)
DEX 20 (↑1)
AGI 19
INT 25
STR 9
VIT 10 (↑1)

Opponents that are hard to provide support for are probably going to continue, should we make a swap?
I guess so.
It seems that for the monsters on this map force might be more helpful.
I’m going to recall Rig and Nias and summon Oma and Kyokuya.
Oma is currently not equipped with a necklace.
I had him equip the Collar of Torture instead.
Of course, I’ll put in Tsavorite as the magic crystal.
Now, then.
According to the wide area map, we’re approaching the center.
The time is 4:50 PM.
For prioritizing movement we’re not getting that far, but it’s about time.
Where’s the area portal?
The golem hell always continues.
There was a Mad Golem too.
But it wouldn’t challenge me to combat.
It being passive was a big part of the reason, but also this guy has liquefaction.
It’s troublesome, so I passed it.
And then there was the Clay Golem.
It’s a much easier opponent to deal with than the Stone Golem.
There were only three of them, so I hunted them down.
Yeah.
With the addition of the Demon and the Polar Night, the damage dealt is increased by a good amount, I think.
It would be nice if I could run to the Area Portal like this.
What’s that spreading out in front of me?
It looks like a colosseum like arena.
The ruins are surrounded by boulders that look like they’re rolling on the ground.
Yeah.
It’s got atmosphere.
And there are no other players in sight.
Probably- no, it’s definitely going to be a battle.
It has the atmosphere of an area portal, but there’s no way to log out.
That aside.
What will we be fighting?
I can predict it to a certain extent.
Golems.
Golems, right?
But will they be the same ones that appeared in the Valley of the Cross?
We have to be prepared for the appearance of a different kind of golem.
There is a problem.
Or is it a worry?
Is it okay to use the lineup I’ve been using?
Are we going to prioritize mobility against the golem?
Or should I add Senki and Jericho to the mix and fight with a focus on striking power?
I’m torn.
But I’m going to leave it like this.
I’d guess that the main battlefield is going to be that large arena.
There’ll be no shortage of running around on Zangetsu.
I’ll cast Sense Magic and make sure my strengthening spells are activated.
Then, let’s go!
