On my way home (3)
damn it
He swallowed the nausea and threw himself away from the dizzying heat.
I didn’t even think that he would run so wildly just because he broke his leg.
No, is this normal?
It was the same when we met at the lake before, and this time there was no reaction no matter what we did, so I thought we wouldn’t fight back.
No, should I really call this a counterattack?
It was just a violent struggle, but still I couldn’t feel any animosity toward us from him.
Lava continued to fall in all directions, causing flames to rise from the trees.
I’ll have to dodge a little further.
“Senior, drop me off now!”
“Oh, yes. sorry.”
I belatedly noticed that I was still holding her, and after confirming her safety, I lowered her to the floor.
Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly ran out of here.
Looking at the volcanic golem again after escaping from the range of lava, Scarlett shouted with her eyes wide open.
“Seniors! Look over there!”
“… … What is that?”
The moment I witnessed the same thing, I had no choice but to let such stupid words out of my mouth.
Eight legs that supported the body. We destroyed five of them, leaving only three legs.
But now, countless long, thin legs protruded from the torso. In an instant, he had become like a spider or a centipede.
No, when I looked closely, it seemed that the folded legs were unfolded rather than protruding, and the body at the part connected to the legs was thin.
“Oh, look at that disgusting thing. If this is the case, isn’t the operation to defeat it completely over?”
“I know. Even if you destroy all of that, there’s no guarantee that another leg won’t come out… … . After all, we have to destroy it from above.”
“… … Seniors?”
I wanted to ache for a moment.
Maybe it was because the situation was so rushed. Or was it because they were more friendly than necessary?
He was inadvertently treating Scarlett as he was treating her.
Cursing at the damn muzzle, I turned around as calmly as I could without expressing it outwardly.
“First of all, let’s start with senior Douglas.”
“… … .”
Suspicious eyes were fixed on me, but I never reacted.
And just in time, I saw Douglas running towards me. at the same time… … The volcanic golem, which had stopped in place, started moving again.
Koo Goo Goo!
The number of legs moved nonstop, and the speed was faster than before.
If you do this, you will miss it.
I met eyes with Douglas, who was still far away, and immediately kicked the ground, and as if I had promised in advance, I was able to join Douglas after a while, who started running together.
“Is that a real golem? In my experience, this is the first time I’ve seen it move like that, right?”
“I was just thinking the same thing. Among the monsters I know, there is no similar one.”
Partially, there were numerous things with overlapping characteristics, but it was also true that it was ambiguous to say with certainty.
I wasn’t even sure if it was a monster.
Still, I did know one thing.
It is the ‘force’ that woke him up.
“Anyway, I can’t stop it now that it’s like this. Do you have any other options in mind?”
“Right now, I can’t come up with a sharp number. Originally, I was planning to get on board and search for the core, but… … .”
“In a situation where you can’t even confirm whether or not the guy’s identity is a golem, it’s probably no different than a gamble.”
“Still, if it’s still alive, wouldn’t it be possible to find a heart?”
I was convinced, but I didn’t try to convince Douglas because I had no basis.
However, the position of the nucleus was near the heart, so it was not a wrong suggestion.
From noble mtl dot com
“That, I will go.”
Douglas and I looked back, and Scarlett joined us with her hand lightly raised.
“Anyway, I have a hard time responding from the bottom. So I’m just going to dig it up from the top.”
“Are you sure you can do it right?”
“If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have even mentioned it.”
At Douglas’ serious question, Scarlett raised her lips and said so.
Then he turned to me and held out his palm.
“If you have a pickaxe, please lend it to me. I think it will take all day with my sword.”
“Yes, I will take it out right away.”
“… … Hmm.”
I roughly threw the pickaxe I took out of my bag at Scarlett, who was making a meaningful sound, and I picked it up with both hands, looked up, and then looked back at me.
“Then, senior, please upload me.”
“Me?”
“It’s okay because our old people aren’t delicate.”
“Catch and throw?”
Realizing that there was nothing she could do about Scarlett stabbing the snarling Douglas with her chin, she sped up a bit and ran forward.
The Volcano Golem’s speed definitely increased, but it wasn’t difficult to catch up, so I was able to follow right away.
As soon as his shadow fell on my head, I stopped walking and immediately turned and lowered my posture, and Scarlett ran furiously toward me.
Immediately after, he lightly kicked off the ground and jumped at me, and I made a foothold with my hands overlapped.
Percussion!
The moment Scarlett’s right foot overlapped my hand, I raised my arm with all my strength and threw Scarlett’s body up.
Scarlett, who jumped high with tremendous jumping power, used the pickaxe she was holding as a support and drove it into the body once, then quickly climbed onto the body and disappeared.
“The village will appear soon. Let’s speed up a bit and go ahead of him.”
“Yes, I will.”
Douglas and I ran out to his left.
The legs thumping and stamping on the ground felt very daunting. When I took my eyes off the bridge and looked ahead, I realized that the village was definitely not far away.
Obviously there… … Rize was supposed to be waiting.
Even if Irina told me to run away, I would stay there saying I had to wait for me.
Even when I didn’t see it, I laughed at the goodness in my eyes.
Still, Irina would definitely take care of safety. I guess I’ll have to hope that he doesn’t come forward to stop him.
By the time we passed him, the view of the village finally came into view.
Fortunately, as if the evacuation was completed safely, there was no human presence, and there was nothing special except for the huge water droplets floating in the air. … .
“water drop?”
“her?”
Me and Douglas looked there for something, and the two figures below came into view belatedly.
“Rize!”
Fortunately, Rize and Irina were out of his path.
While Irina was preparing for an unexpected situation, Rize stood still, her eyes closed, holding the wand she had given her in her hand and chanting a spell.
Every time that happened, the huge drop of water floating a little above was gradually increasing in size.
No, looking closely, something was swirling inside.
“Could it be synthesis magic?”
“… … Didn’t Rize say that she was still learning the 8th tier?”
“Yes, it is still in the beginner stage.”
Even I, who couldn’t use magic, knew that it was easy to use magic with only one attribute. In terms of weapon skills, it was to use swords of different lengths with both hands.
It was said that mixing the two attributes was accompanied by a very complicated process.
however… … My daughter was already doing it.
Water attribute magic is mixed with wind attribute magic. It was self-evident that this process would add destructive power.
Right after that, Rize opened her eyes and stretched out her wand straight ahead, and huge water droplets shot out at the volcanic golem like a cannonball.
The swirling water drops aimed precisely at the creature’s head.
Tuquaaang!
His body shook violently with a roar.
Even if it was a low-level magic, if you gathered that much, you could exert quite a lot of power.
Perhaps because of the unexpected shock, he stopped running and struggled to balance his staggering body.
Scarlett’s panicked voice seemed to be heard from above, but I believe she will take care of herself.
“Rizeya, are you okay?!”
I asked a question to Rize, who had gotten closer, but Rize was unable to answer because she was out of breath.
Damn it, if I had found a way to attack that bastard right away, Rize wouldn’t have to suffer like that.
Cursing at the lazy me of the past, I quickly approached Rize.
“Huh… … Heo-eok… … . dad… … .”
“Yes, Rize. Would you like some water?”
Rize shook her head lightly and smiled faintly at me.
“Hee hee, I’m sorry. It seems my magic is useless.”
“… … .”
Rize was still a child.
Even an S-class mercenary couldn’t attack a guy who was struggling.
Still, Rize was really trying to help me. If that didn’t work, he would be blaming himself for his own shortcomings.
Looking at Rize like that, my heart calmed down.
“Don’t worry, Rize.”
I said that and put my chin on Rize’s head.
“From now on, Dad won’t let him take one step forward.”
After saying that, I immediately turned around and approached the volcanic golem that was still struggling.
Really, it felt like I was on fire for the first time in a long time.
Douglas, who had followed me, spoke while staring at the volcanic golem.
“Looking at you screaming so loud, you must be thinking about doing something.”
“Well, nothing great.”
Saying that, I drew my sword.
“I’m going to cut off all of his legs. You can just cut it until the leg no longer sticks out.”
“That’s right… … I like it.”
Douglas visibly agreed, and slowly separated the two sides from each other.
Right after that, no matter who said it first, he kicked off the ground and ran.
[Breaking the limit]
Even if Rize went this far, could I just stay still?
Immediately, it gave full power and first cut off the legs in front of the torso. It was thinner than the original leg, so it could be cut with certainty, but the number was still a problem.
There were so many that it was amazing how the hell they never got twisted and came all the way here.
Cut, cut, cut again.
Even though they were thin, each one was the size of a human torso, so it was sure to take a long time to cut them with a sword like this.
Kugu Palace… … !
Perhaps he had finally come to his senses, and he even stood up.
I promised Rize that I wouldn’t let him go one step… … I had to keep
I stopped for a moment and looked at Aculium, who was holding up his hand.
God’s metal that eats up weapons, transforms them, and even reproduces their abilities. But I didn’t think that that level of ability was everything.
“Slowly pay for your meal.”
As I pushed my will into it with a strong grip as if to break the handle, Aculium began to tremble.
What I want is an overwhelming length.
Other than that, it was enough if the blade was set properly.
At that moment, Aculium began to sway without being properly formed, and then rapidly inflated its body.
And the weapon of the form that I saw for the first time was completed.
A blade that could be 5 meters long.
A long sack attached to it.
It didn’t look like a weapon used by humans, but it was exactly what I wanted.
If there was a weapon of giants, would it look like this?
Keeping in mind that Aculium still has more potential, I raised my new type of sword and swung it hard at his leg.
Kwajajajajak!
Dozens of legs were cut off at once with a cheerful sound.
It was a bonus that the body of the volcanic golem that was about to move staggered once again.
At this level, I think I could cut through his body.
Thinking about that, I focused on blocking his movements first.
When the right side, which I was in charge of, collapsed, naturally, the left side could not be properly supported, and when Douglas’ sword was added, the body began to sink slowly.
Shall I cut the whole thing like this?
As I was thinking about that, the shape of the aculium suddenly began to collapse.
… … Yes, you have your limits too, right?
I smiled and inserted the sword-shaped aculium into the scabbard, then took a suitable halberd out of my bag and started swinging it.
Then his body started to vibrate once again, and I immediately jumped as I recognized that it was a sign of an eruption.
can’t win twice
Especially since Rize is nearby.
“Ah, senior!”
Leaving behind the sound of Scarlett vigorously swinging her pickaxe, as she climbed up the volcano, she saw lava still bubbling.
I took a small box out of my bag and held a blue marble in my hand.
Then, after pressing hard on the end of the thorn stuck inward, he quickly threw it towards the lava.
Whoa!
Immediately after, the lava and parts of the nearby volcano froze to pure white.
What I threw was the essence of ice, the same kind of magic tool as the essence of lightning that Tugg used.
Of course, it was only a temporary measure.
Seeing that steam was already forming, I had to quickly break its core.
As I was going downstairs again with that thought in mind, I saw Rize waving both hands at me.
“Dad!”
Rize, who called me vigorously, added a word.
“I want to go up there!”
