Chapter 130 – Golem Behemoth (02)
A quadrupedal creature that walks lightly so that no footsteps can be heard.
Its name was dire wolf, but the shape and appearance of its fur resembled that of a large, furry dog rather than that of a wolf.
‘Wolf is a canine family, so you could say that he is that guy…’
If we have to be honest, it is true.
Anyway, the dire wolves were moving quietly so that we wouldn’t notice.
Normally, they move while exchanging opinions with each other by howling, but perhaps because they are thoroughly trained and specialized in hunting, they move quietly without making a sound and approach the tent where their friends are sleeping.
Inori and I were watching the scene while holding ourselves in the shadows.
“…”
Silent mode was applied, so Golem No. 2, which had only blinking blue eyes, was set up as bait. When Golem No. 2, which had a human scent mixed in, blocked their path, the Dire Wolves were wary at first and stopped, but then they noticed that she was small and large. Perhaps because they looked weak, they slowly surrounded the surrounding area and approached.
“What is the total number?”
“There are 11.”
About 3 of them were taking a detour, perhaps to chase Golem 2 if it ran away, and the remaining 8 were approaching Golem 2.
As the robes on her body began to flutter, revealing the body of Golem No. 2, the direwolves could not hold back any longer and rushed at her.
“Now.”
Phew!
[Shadow thorns] Pop out from the shadow of the dire wolf that ran first and pierced its stomach.
Because of the [Shadow Thorn] That tore through his her internal organs her her, the dire wolf that was running at the front her collapsed without even being able to scream, and Inori’s body her her her disappeared as if playing in the shadows. 〉
Whisk!
When I intentionally whistled and made a sound, the dire wolves surrounding Golem No. 2 looked back at me in surprise, and I immediately ran towards them and plunged the sword of the famous family into the neck of one of the dire wolves that had been caught off guard in the rear.
Phew!
The feeling of a sharp sword piercing the neck of a living creature.
After feeling the fluffy fur in his hand her and cutting off the sword of the famous family, the number of dire wolves was reduced from 11 to 9.
“Awww!!”
When the dire wolf, who seemed to be their leader in the middle position, started howling, the dire wolves’ dog-like face suddenly began to distort like a demon and become ferocious.
From now on, rather than being a secret assassin, I will go on the rampage as a predator who actively destroys everything.
“Yes, it’s a dog.”
Poop!
Cleanly cut off the head of the dire wolf barking in front with the sword of the famous family.
In the first place, it is a top-level sword that can be used even in the late game, so you can cut them cleanly one by one, so you can cut them all in one shot without putting in any effort.
“Crumbling!”
To avoid the threateningly charging dire wolf, he lowers his body and glides downward to destroy the ship, or he takes advantage of the gap and throws the sword of the famous family into the head of the charging dire wolf.
“Kkegaeng!”
The one stuck in the forehead screamed in pain, but instead the weapon disappeared. A moment later, Inori’s hand came out from the shadows and handed over an assassin’s straight sword to replace the famous sword.
If you don’t care about durability and just look at attack power, it’s a sword that hurts more than the famous sword.
Push shoot!
He plunges the assassin’s straight sword into the open mouth of the dire wolf, who was attacking him for the loss of his weapon, and retreats. The dire wolf, who had been hit with the sword of the famous family earlier, also falls to the floor, seemingly exhausted.
Before the dire wolves surrounded me, I had already taken down three more heads.
“Grrr… !”
There are six dire wolves remaining.
These guys weren’t attacking me, but they were watching me, and it seemed like they had finally realized that I wasn’t at a level they could deal with.
“If you kill a dire wolf, you will only get some low-quality fur.”
Still, isn’t it a shame to send away those who come after us as prey?
Moreover, I was a little out of breath and my body was finally starting to sweat.
If you’re going to exercise on a moonlit night, you have to work hard because if you don’t do it, you’ll just end up getting tired.
Slurp.
Inori’s hand came out from the dead dire wolf’s shadow, pulled out the sword of the famous family, and disappeared into the shadows again. My hand came out from my shadow and returned the sword of the famous family, and I returned the assassin’s straight sword to Inori.
The dire wolves are circling around and trying to slowly retreat, but at the same time, they are making a threat as if they will sneakily rush towards Golem No. 2.
“Awww!”
Finally, the gray entity that appeared to be the leader of the dire wolves howled and sent four of his subordinates his to me and one to Golem No. 2, and then began to run away.
Pump!
He cut off the snout of the closest dire wolf and blew it away, kicked the one behind it and kicked it away, and those who took advantage of that opportunity rushed in from both sides.
“Inori!”
Push!
When I turned to deal with the left side, a [Shadow Thorn] Came out from my shadow and pierced the jaw of the dire wolf charging at me from the right.
“Kkiiing!”
He finishes off by lightly stepping on the head of the dire wolf, who was kicked down earlier, with his foot, and inserting the sword of the famous family into the back of his neck his his.
And Golem No. 2…
Poop!
“Kwi-ing! Kwi-ing!”
I grabbed the jaw of the charging dire wolf with my hand, but apart from the soft texture when I touched it, the skin was so hard that the dire wolf’s sharp teeth couldn’t dig in.
“Inori.”
Wow!
Before Inori could deal with the dire wolf caught with [Shadow Thorn], Golem No. 2 struck his head with his opposite fist, killing him instantly.
‘It looks like it’s been quite remodeled?’
In fact, there are many ways to spend money to invest points in Golem No. 2, so I never gave money to Melissa, so she must have used the points she saved through research and hard work. Although it has only been about a month since its operation, Golem No. 2 is at a considerable level. It possessed the combat power of.
Of course, it won’t be a match for a strong character like Marian, but is it enough to use for self-defense?
“Would you like to track it?”
Inori appeared again and asked.
This is a wide grassland with no trees and almost no shadows illuminated by the moonlight, so it seems like they are trying to catch up by running rather than chasing with [Shadow Ninjutsu].
“It’s okay. If it comes again, I’ll kill you then.”
Although he was cowardly in his way of targeting a seemingly weak opponent or escaping using his subordinates as bait, it was proof of his outstanding intelligence.
If you follow a guy like that, he could lead you into a hidden group or other trap, so it would be better to just pass this night raid event as a safe defense.
“Then let’s go back. Golem No. 2 did a good job too.”
Tuk-tuk.
When I was about to return to camp with Inori and Golem No. 2, Golem No. 2 tugged on my sleeve.
“Huh? Why?”
He points to his chest and points to the dire wolf that is running away.
Are you saying you want to track it yourself?
“Don’t chase after it carelessly. If you follow it to catch that one thing and then attract all the surrounding monsters, it’s going to be crazy.”
Of course, since Alice is there, the party will not be wiped out or in danger, but if [Star Magic] Is used incorrectly, the surrounding terrain will literally fly away.
In addition, [Star Magic] Is a map weapon, so there is a penalty to experience points and other corrections, so it gives less reward than hitting them individually with a sword or magic.
‘If you think about it, since you can’t get loot from enemies crushed by star magic, it’s natural that the rewards will be less…’
So, if possible, I wanted to finish the mission without using [Star Magic]. It’s not an important battle right now, I’m just trying to earn points.
“Huh?”
Golem # 2 once again tried to explain something to her by pulling on her sleeve her. She showed me that she was bending her left arm and she asked me to pull on her left ring finger and I was holding her back. As desired, I gently held her left ring finger.
Dalkak.
Weeeeeing-!
“Ah!”
Then, suddenly, the left arm of Golem No. 2 opened and something came out from inside… Something like a long pipe, and its outer surface glowed brightly as power was applied…
‘No way? It can’t be like that, right?’
Hum… Hum… Hum… Hum… Uuuuu!
Jwaaaaang-!!
Fuuuuugh!!!
When the arm opened, a laser was charged from the gun barrel and fired, blowing away the gray dire wolf that was running away.
“…”
Kuwaaaaa-!
Only after a few seconds had passed did the shock wave pour down, and it had enough power and range to cause Inori to stumble.
“What are you talking about? Little brother, where is my little brother!”
“Raid? We were attacked?”
“Ugh… I… I’m sleepy…”
Marian, who ran in without proper clothes and wearing only a boot on one foot, or Alice, who ran in a hurry without even opening her eyes because she was so started by what was happening.
And it seemed like everyone was started by the explosion that had just occurred, including Melissa, who was holding Alice’s hand and dragging her with half of her clothes her off her her her.
“What’s going on, little brother?”
Marian asked me with startled eyes at the explosion that occurred in front of her and the sight of things bubbling up on the spot.
“Melissa…What on earth did you make?!”
“Uh, this… Why is it so strong?”
The eyes of Golem No. 2, whose red-hot arm had returned to its original form, were blinking rapidly.
“What happened? Report.”
It was only then that Melissa realized that she had switched on her silent mode as she watched Golem #2, who was unable to speak as she gaped at her mouth.
“Disable silent mode.”
“-Hostile life forms have been eliminated. Currently, the power source is overheated due to excessive maneuvering, and the remaining power is rapidly decreasing. Current power is 6%, 5%… Please urgently charge-“
Golem No. 2’s voice was so urgent that I thought he was rapping at rapid speed.
“Why did you shoot something like that? You should have shot properly!”
“-There is no function to adjust output yet-“
When I heard those words, I looked down at Melissa with a shocked expression.
“Well, that’s… I’m going to install something big and strong first and then adjust the output later…”
“Oh my…”
“-Current power 4%, expected operation time 5 minutes 46 seconds, 40 seconds…-“
I glanced around as I saw the power rapidly decreasing, perhaps due to overheating.
“I’m sorry, but… I’ll charge it and then come back.”
For some reason, except for Melissa, the eyes of the rest of the friends seemed to have become fierce. Could it be an illusion?
