036. Dungeon Attack with Underground Water (5)
The golem is watching us with a wary attitude.
However, there is no sign of an attack right now. This means that they have not defined us as ‘intruders’ yet.
‘Let’s fill it with streetlights like last time.’
Suddenly, I had an idea.
Looking closer, the golem was similar in size to the elder kobold. So if you plug in a streetlight, an indestructible object, it seems like you can block the movement to some extent like last time.
I thought so, but immediately shook my head.
‘… No. The streetlight strategy does more harm than good.’
There are two main things that the streetlight strategy worked against the elder kobolds.
One was that the elder kobolds were so large that the streetlights blocked their movement considerably.
The other is that the elder kobolds had no ranged attacks at all.
In that respect, the story of the golem is slightly different.
‘So it wouldn’t be good to use the same strategy.’
Elder kobolds and golems are different monsters.
Also, the me who dealt with the Elder Kobold and the me now are also different.
I wink at Marie.
Marie also nodded and moved to a place far away from me.
I faced the golem in front of me.
There is still quite a distance between the golem and me. Even a golem would not be able to approach this distance at once.
According to the regular method.
I threw the Mountain Eater.
-Quagagaaang!
An explosion occurred from the golem’s shoulder.
It must have been the most powerful instant burst deal among the items I made, but the golem didn’t react much. It was almost like her shoulders were shaking slightly.
[Check for damage. We will define the target as an ‘intruder’ and exclude it.]
Slowly, the golem gets into a stance, and in the blink of an eye, charges forward.
Sometimes, a booster came out from the golem’s waist and spewed fire.
With that burst of momentum, the golem approaches me with explosive acceleration.
It was cold for a moment, but keeping distance was still effective. I had some time to spare before the golem crashed into me.

[Slime Gel]
Crafting Rating: 4
Quality: Fair
: A gel made from slime body fluids. It has a very slippery quality.
—–
I dropped the potion bottle under the golem’s feet.
The potion bottle breaks, liquid pours out, and the golem steps on the slime gel.
As in any game, golems are large and heavy.
Therefore, the slime gel was a very effective attack. The frictional force was reduced to metal, causing the golem’s feet to slip.
The golem’s huge body collapsed.
– Kwaaang!
A roar as if a bomb had exploded. The golem’s upper body was slammed into the ground, leaving huge ripples.
Take advantage of the moment the golem fell and take out a new item.

[Potion of Corrosion]
Crafting Rating: 5
Quality: Good
Effect: Good
: A potion that corrodes everything it touches. If it hits the target, its defense is greatly reduced.
You must have the Skill to craft it.
—–
The potion bottle flies off and crashes into the golem’s body, breaking it.
And while doing so, the black liquid inside pours out. As if hydrochloric acid had been poured into it, the liquids on the golem’s body bubbled up.
Right after that, hailstones fell.
This is Marie’s . A spell that deals the most damage among magics that Mari can use.
It was just hitting the golem with hailstones, but it was scratching quite a bit because it was covered with a potion of corrosion.
In that state, I also throw Mountain Eaters.
– The Quagga River!
With a powerful explosion, one of the golem’s gloves falls off.
[Start firing the heat rays.]
The golem halfway raised her body and its eyes lit up.
Sudden light in the eyes.
Right after that, a red laser was fired.
It was the golem’s only ranged attack. It is also the pattern of a golem with tremendous killing power.
Because it has instant-death damage, if you get hit properly, you will die on the spot without being able to find a bone.
It wasn’t a pattern I made to fit in the first place.
It has excellent killing power, but fortunately it is slow to activate.
Not only that, but it’s also very easy to understand. The laser was fired only after he said his lines honestly and his eyes lit up.
I was already rolling over.
The laser is embedded in the spot where I was standing until recently, melting the spot.
Looking at the golem for a moment, smirking at its killing power, I saw that the golem had fully risen.
The golem is looking at Marie.
“…Tsk. Did the aggro bounce over there?”
It seems that the damage caused by Was quite large. The golem turns its back on me as if it doesn’t care and approaches Marie.
I caught all of her expressions as if I was prepared for Marie.
“.”
Marie aims her wand. A magic circle rises on the floor and cold air begins to rage.
However, the golem’s speed did not slow down in the slightest. She’s frozen in places, but it goes through as if it’s no big deal.
Full immunity to crowd control.
The golem exits the realm of Intact, and puts her fist at Marie.
“…!”
Quaang! The golem’s fist and the ice shield created by her horse collide.
About half of the ice shield flew away in an instant.
As it is, the golem’s fist pierces the ice shield and extends all the way.
But once her ice shield got in the way, the momentum of her fists died. Mari twists her body to dodge the attack at close range.
At the same time, Marie placed her hand on the half-remaining ice shield.
.
The ice shield that had maintained its shape was shattered at once, and the fragments hit the golem.
-Pabababak!
Ice shards hit the golem as if firing a machine gun at close range.
Golem’s body was covered with gnats, but it wasn’t that great of a damage.
From noble mtl dot com
The golem stretched out her other hand to grab Marie as it was.
Of course, I wasn’t the only one watching it.
Thanks to Marie taking her time, I was already right next to the golem.

[Magic Engineering: Electroshock Mace]
Crafting Rating: 8
Quality: Fair
Endurance: Low
Attack Power: Very High
: A mace that generates high-voltage current by consuming mana when activated. You must have the Skill to craft it.
—–
Approach the golem and strike it down with a mace.
A flash of light stung my eyes.
-Pajijik!
Intense sparks fly in front of your eyes.
Electric sparks wrap around the golem’s body, delivering a powerful electric shock.
[──…… , …… !, ────!!]
An indescribable mechanical sound erupts.
You could say it was a scream. The painless golem is now feeling the pain.
The creators of Unknown Saga gave the automated golem complete immunity to crowd control.
But that’s too strong. Crowd Control Complete Immunity is a skill given only to later bosses.
That’s why I gave you one weakness.
If you use an electric attack on a golem, the damage is doubled.
Also, if the damage exceeds a certain level, the golem will fall into confusion.
I bought time.
While the golem fainted, Mari stepped back and I put down the mace for a moment while widening my distance.
I raised my level quite a bit by defeating the elder kobold, but the automation golem is not an easy monster either. The difference in level is quite severe.
It is said that golems have a weakness for electric attacks, but unfortunately the electric shock mace is not an item that can be used for a long time. After using it a few times, its durability will wear out and it will be destroyed.
Then, the only item I can inflict the most damage on is the Mountain Eater.
However, even the Mountain Eater lacks enough damage to defeat the Golem.
It is a story among items.
I held out my hand.
“.”
At that moment, I felt that my life was drained away.
Slight anemia.
After that, the red mana gathers in front of your eyes and is refined in the form of an arrow.
This is a blow created by forging my life force.
This is a skill that is commonly seen in any RPG. A skill that uses HP as a cost.
The effect of Was a magic skill that consumed 25% of HP and gave a blow in proportion to the consumed value.
In other words, it is a high-risk, high-return attack.
I fired a bloody arrow.
– Kwajik.
An arrow that pierces the left arm of a golem.
It pierces its steel body, leaving a huge hole as if it were eaten by a beast.
A beat later, the golem’s heavy right arm fell with a bang, turning the scrap giant into a one-armed man.
I was deeply impressed by its mighty power.
‘… But it’s not just a good skill to use.’
I’ve practiced it a few times, but it’s different to use it in real combat. Originally, it was intended to pierce the torso, not the arms.
Come to think of it, the magic skills I’ve used so far have been . Although he was used to throwing items directly, he was not very used to firing magic like this.
I left a note in my heart that this would require training.
[Check for damage. It restarts.]
The time the golem was stunned was shorter than expected. The fallen golem rises again and looks down at me.
Immediately, I swung the mace once more.
The golem grabbed the tip of the mace with its left hand.
“……What?”
That was unexpected. I’ve never been caught with a weapon by a monster in Unknown Saga.
I was surprised, but I immediately withdrew my hand.
Lightning strikes from within the golem’s hand.
Flashes of light and sparks try to devour everything, but the golem grabs it and suppresses it.
The golem crumpled his electroshock mace, burning his hand.
‘Troublesome….’
I clicked my tongue.
Remnants of the electroshock mace spill from the charred golem’s hand. It was completely destroyed beyond recognition.
I lost my weapon.
But it is not all that is lost. The left hand of the remaining golem was trembling.
Judging by his condition, it looks like he won’t be able to use his left hand for a while. Grab attacks and punch attacks will become impossible in the future.
‘… Is it like exchanging each other’s means of attack?’
It must be said that he was wary of the electric shock mace to the point of giving up his left hand.
Soon after, the golem swung his left arm as if tossing it away.
It was an attack that lacked the slightest level of sophistication. Due to the loss of his left hand, the golem’s attack ability was significantly reduced.
It was not difficult to avoid as well as losing delicacy. He dodges the attack as if stepping back, and throws a Mountain Eater at the right timing.
-Quaang!!!
Another explosion knocks off the golem’s outer armor.
Even with its bony skeleton exposed, the golem lunges at me, chewing the impact of the explosion with crowd control immunity.
The golem slams his arm right at me.
-Kang!
However, the attack was blocked.
Somewhere between me and the golem, Mari got in the way.
“……!!”
The golem’s slam attack…… I couldn’t do much damage to the ice shield.
If only he had clenched his fist and struck it down. His charred left hand did not have enough strength.
The thick ice shield blocked the golem’s attack without breaking.
Marie rather burrows into the golem and pushes it through the ice shield.
Marie pours more and more magic into it.
Her ice shield gets bigger and presses her golem.
“Ariel!”
Mari shouted as if it was right now.
I know.
Immediately after drinking the potion to recover HP, I focus on my right finger.
[Item ‘Ring of Life’ effect is applied.]

“.”
An arrow of bright red blood was fired.
Marie immediately canceled the .
As soon as the ice shield disappears, the golem’s body instantly leans forward.
That location was deliberately induced by Marie.
Destruction happens.
Her armor was ripped, her skeleton destroyed, and her core pierced.
Parts made of scrap metal and rocks bounced in the air in an instant.
Within seconds, it spilled onto the floor, creating a metallic sound.
Intense iron smell and smoke smell unique to burnt machines.
Even the eyes that were shining red lost their light.
The golem gets on her knees.
[System down. The function will be stopped.]
Then it turned off as if asleep.
I won.
But it’s just a skirmish.
The real fight hasn’t even started yet.
Those two make really a good team.
