Chapter 129 – Golem Behemoth (01)

First, I left Melissa, who had gone into research to modify Golem No. 2, and returned to the men’s dormitory first.

It was surprising to learn that a new system, special modification of Golem No. 2 was possible, but the biggest shock was that I discovered a hidden function while looking at the modified parts.

‘You could have a child?’

It’s something I hadn’t thought about until now.

No, most people get married and have children because it is a story after the ending, and after they finish the game, they say that they lived happily after giving birth to several boys and girls. Today is the first time I found out that the pregnancy function is included during the game because of the adult mode.

Of course, it seemed to be blocked in the ‘Academy part’ for functionality.

If you suddenly have an accident during your school days and are unable to grow, you can get into a lot of trouble, so it seems like you won’t be born again in the academy part.

‘When that time comes, if you recklessly say that you will become a companion trainee… You will really be screwed.’

Well… I can get married and take responsibility, but right now I have to let go of the character I worked so hard to develop for a while.

Considering how brutal the difficulty of the war part is, I couldn’t waste any of my strength as I had to go through a third route that no one had experienced before, so I should have gathered a lot of characteristics during the Amademy part and restrained myself later. .

“It’s a war part… Now that I think about it, what happens when I see the ending of this game?”

I was currently in the world of the game.

First of all, survival came first, so I was working hard at the Academy to strengthen my strength and gather people to become friends, and I was only thinking about which side I would be on during the rebellion between Ophelia and the Duke of Renelian, which would become the decisive turning point in everything.

However, if all of this is over and I am killed or defeated and killed, that will be the end, but what happens if it is all over and I get to see the ending?

Will the game be treated as ‘cleared’ and return to the real world?

Or am I just living like this?

‘I can’t find out just because I worry about it…’

It’s clear that you have to run to the ending first, so you can worry about it later.

If I go back to reality, I might delete this damn buggy game, or else I might just get married to someone and live here.

“I guess I’ll have to wait and see.”

Time passes quickly.

In particular, the second semester did not last until the end and ended during the final competition season, so it was actually a short period of three months, so I had to perform as many missions as possible to collect points and upgrade my equipment.〈 Br〉

In order to prepare for the mid-term competition starting in mid-October, I took Marian, Inori, and Alice on a hunt together and raised their abilities and characteristics.

Then, in the middle, Melissa asked me to take her too. Perhaps because she was still alive, she asked me in a situation where she had a certain level of combat power thanks to working hard to modify the golem and remodeling it using the money she sold, even though I didn’t buy it with points. .

“How would it be best to have Golem No. 2 fight?”

‘Are you asking about the direction of renovation?’

I was worried.

Currently, the entries that will actually be used for the war part have been gathered, but first of all, the vanguard is surprisingly close to Marian, Cylian, and Kay, and they are also close to Eric, so I didn’t even know if Eric would join as well.

‘I meet the conditions to participate in terms of favorability… But if I become friendly with the temple, my favorability will decrease steadily and then I will leave.’

So, for now, Eric doesn’t hit with all his might.

Even without Eric, I was also heading towards swordsmanship because of the wooden sword, so the vanguard was sufficient.

There’s Inori for the assassin, and Alice for the wide-range attack…

‘We need a long-distance attacker’

As a turn-based RPG, Alice is strong at one hit, but due to the limitations of her range, she was relatively weak against a single strong enemy.

Even though the swordsman characters I’m taking with me are powerful, they can’t help but be pinned down if they get hit with an arrow from a distance, so I needed power that can attack from a distance here as well.

“A long-distance attacker who can snipe a single enemy with one shot?”

“Sniping… I see.”

Melissa locked herself in her studio for the next three weeks and did not come out.

‘Well, maybe attach a shooting module and do a long-distance attack? Do you want to use a bow?’

Just in case, I asked Melissa if she would like to join me on the next mission, and when I asked if I could take Golem No. 2, she told me that she had quite a bit of free time this time, so even if I included Marian, Alice, and Inori, there would be two people left.

She placed Melissa and Golem No. 2 there, so she ordered a monster-slaying mission with a total of 6 people and an expected mission duration of 4 days, and waited.

Now that everyone is used to it, Marian and Inori have become close friends and are talking about various things, and Alice seems to be at ease, at least reading a book within our field of vision.

Melissa and Golem No. 2 hurriedly arrived at the carriage when Melissa did not show up before they all left for her mission, so she wondered if she had suddenly announced her absence.

“I’m sorry… I worked late last night to make new parts…”

Judging from the fact that the blood vessels in his eyes were still bursting, it seemed like he had been working on something all night.

“Hello everyone… I’m going with Aren this time… I’ll ask you to… Please.”

Nodding.

When Melissa said hello first, Golem No. 2 next to her did the same and nodded her head in greeting.

“Welcome, Melissa. I’m glad you’re looking healthy these days.”

At Marian’s welcome greeting, Melissa was separated from Golem No. 2, with Melissa sitting next to Marian and Golem No. 2 sitting next to Alice.

Currently, I, Marian, and Melissa were sitting in the front seat in the reverse order, and in the back seat, Inori was in front of me, and then Alice, and finally, Golem No. 2 was facing Melissa at the door.

“Once everyone has arrived, we’ll leave. Come on!”

‘Wow, I feel motion sick in the reverse direction.’

The other characters didn’t seem to suffer from motion sickness, and even Melissa, who was weak, was holding up well.

Marian was also somewhat acquainted with Melissa, Alice was a close friend, and Inori had no relationship, but we had been seeing each other for three years, and after nodding and greeting each other, we set off to carry out our mission.

The place we must subdue this time is the ogre village, where three ogres live, including father, mother, and children, but the ogre’s strength value exceeds the default 800.

Fortunately, it has a low accuracy rate, extremely low agility, low intelligence, and difficulty hitting opponents smaller than itself, so we can somehow hunt it with just us.

To receive the basic reward, you must hunt a child ogre with a strength of 600, and to receive the maximum reward, you must kill the father and mother ogre. The basic reward was 20,000 points, and the maximum reward was 50,000 points.

‘Of course, since we have to divide it into 6 parts, the actual money coming in is a bit less.’

Still, it exceeds 8,000 points per person.

In addition, if you are lucky enough to obtain ogre blood, you can earn 2,000 points per bottle in a small flask, and if you are lucky, it is an efficient mission where you can earn more than 50,000 points by selling only ogre blood.

Among the current party members, Inori and Alice were Bojo, Marian and I were planning on wasting time in front of them, and we weren’t expecting much combat power from Melissa and Golem No. 2.

‘If you hit [Star Magic] As soon as it starts, it will end quickly…’

Hitting only three enemies with [Star Magic] Was an excessive amount of firepower, and if that was done, only Alice’s abilities would increase and the rest of her friends she would not be able to gain combat experience.

In any case, Marian has a good evasion rate, so she will survive if she is thrown alone, and although her attack will be lacking, Inori is planning to use [Shadow Thorn], Which inflicts small damage but ignores the opponent’s defense, and attacks her.

For your reference, [Shadow Thorns] Cannot be physically blocked, but you can avoid them by using reflected light to prevent the thorns from getting stuck or hiding in the shadows.

Of course, from Inori’s point of view, all she has to do is make the [Shadow Thorns] Sprout again from within the hidden shadow, so it is by no means an easy method.

The carriage departed in the morning, and although it was a flat road, it carried us by steadily changing horses. We stayed up all night and arrived at the target area only at dawn.

“Uh, huh… Oh, be tired.”

Everyone came out, groaning as if sitting in the carriage had been difficult, and since they were planning to wander around the area for the next three days looking for ogre villages, each person was carrying food and sleeping items.

Of course, Melissa had Golem No. 2 carrying her burden.

Prairie.

In the past, during the time of the Magic Empire, a great war broke out, burning this place, which was originally a dense forest, and turning the land upside down. At the end, [Star Magic], The ultimate in magic, fell, blowing away everything, including allies and enemies. There is a legend that it was made into an empty land where not a single blade of grass grows.

This place, which was so devastated that humans could not even farm, was a place full of monsters that had been pushed away by human power, but now that humans have become stronger and the dignity of the monsters has been lowered, the monsters are spread out across the prairie like a wildlife preserve. It was a place maintained by preserving the fields and occasionally hunting when necessary.

The carriage retreated to a safe area, placed a flag to mark the area where the carriage would return three days later, and began walking ahead with the group.

After going inside for a long time, except for a short break, there were no traces of humans, only dried trees and the tent we had erected. We found traces of an ogre, but they were old, so it seemed like we would have to go deeper to come out.

The rest of the group seems to be used to working together now, with Alice looking at the angle from the side, Inori and Marian setting up the tent, and since I am short, I support the central pillar from the bottom.

The tent itself was quite large and luxurious, so it was enough for six people to stay, and each person had a magically compressed sleeping bag (this is a standard issue for class D), so they spread out their seats inside and went outside to make dinner.

Melissa tried to help too, but after we had set up camp in just a few minutes and was trying to start a fire, she flicked her metal parts to start the fire, so she could comfortably make dinner.

“Uh, Aren…”

Melissa came up to me and asked if she felt awkward.

“Let’s…Keep watch at night, right?”

“Huh? It’s not a night watch, but we take shifts similarly.”

“Because Golem No. 2 doesn’t need to sleep. Instead… If it’s active at night, its power is a little low…”

The way she looked at me while saying those words made me think she was telling me to secretly charge her.

‘It must be difficult…’

Well, I answered that I would take care of it for now, and let the relatively weak wizard-type characters fall asleep first.

As night fell, Inori spread a shadow around her to watch over her, and I went inside it and began to spread Inori’s shadow and my shadow her her her together.

Normally, one side covers the shadow and overwhelms or nullifies it, but they cannot be combined like this…

‘We can do it’

Because mine and Inori’s [Shadow Ninjutsu] Are treated as having the same origin.

While Inori and I were leaning against each other, in a half-asleep state, maintaining our shadows and keeping an eye on our surroundings.

“Master.”

“Ah… I sensed it. It’s a dire wolf at best. Should we take care of it ourselves?”

“There are so many that it will be difficult for just the two of us to handle them.”

With those words, I tried to wake up Marian, who was sleeping next to me, but I saw Golem No. 2 waiting outside the tent in silent mode.

‘Hmm… I think my abilities are still weak, but since it’s a golem, it won’t be easily broken, right?’

If it doesn’t work out, you can just draw aggro among the dire wolves.

Golem 2’s silent mode could only be unlocked by her owner, Melissa, so she was dragged out holding her hand with her mouth shut.
