Chapter 388 Part 4: Mystic Ruins
From MC's perspective:
Mystic ruin,
The earth golem in humanoid shape raised its massive fist against me. My eyes flickered with a slight glint. It must be one of its spell attacks. So I didn't let down my guard and released the magic spell instead.
"Repulsive Force," I said.
A repulsive force released from my body. I didn't hold back the power of the gravity magic. The repulsive force comes in contact with golem fist in seconds.
Bang!
The gigantic force crumbles into pieces. The earth golem's body took the brunt of the remaining force. Then the golem puppet remained still in position.
The golem managed to withstood the repulsive force in the end. But its right hand was damaged from the attack.
Seeing the condition of the golem. My eyes gleamed with twinkle. The repulsive force spell is quite damaging. It works well against the golem puppet.
So before the golem could make the next move. I used the repulsive force spell again.
At the same time, the Golem puppet realizes something. It immediately raised its massive leg and made a heavy stomping.
The repulsive force comes in contact with the golem's body.
Rumble!
This time the force tore through the earth elemental barrier and made several cracks appear. But at the same time, the golem puppet's stomping caused the entire ground to shake.
The impact force caused by the stomping swept away the surroundings. Several massive boulders were smashed in different directions.
Suddenly, I spotted a few boulders were flying toward me. Seeing that I cast the repulsive force spell again.
Bang!
The boulders were crushed by the repulsive force. I have managed to remain unscathed in the end. But I still found that golem puppet is alright. It managed to stand upright.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. The golem puppet's massive size is taking away the impact of the gravity spell.
I have to use one or two spells again in order to defeat the monster. After realizing the situation, I didn't waste any more time.
I released the repulsive force spell twice. The powerful magic spell caused the crash on golem's body to become wider.
Within seconds, the cracks spread all over his body. Which caused golem puppet's movement to be restricted.
Seeing that my eyes flickered with a slight glint. Now that the golem puppet was unable to move. I can use this opportunity to investigate the golem puppet.
If I can control this golem puppet, then it would be a huge reward for me. I don't want to completely destroy it and leave the body parts here.
After pushing down these thoughts, I walked closer to the puppet. Right now, the golem puppet is completely drained.
When I got closer, I saw the golem puppet stumbling all of a sudden. Seeing that I hurriedly retrated backwards.
Tud!
The next moment, the huge golem puppet fell to the ground. The impact has again sent a shock wave across the surrounding area.
When the aftermath was settled. I see no movement whatsoever. In order to verify, I called up the system.
"System, probe the target's details," I Instructed the system mind.
[Ding! Host's command is recognized.]
[Ding! The command is executed.]
[Status Panel]
[Target's Name: Earth Golem]
[Type: Elemental Puppet]
[Order: 5th order intermediate level]
[Strength: 122/450]
[Vitality: 0]
[Speed: 278/444]
[Stamina: 0]
[Skill: Destruction fist, Earth Punch, Heavy Stomp, Landslide.]
A status panel appeared in front of my eyes. My eyes immediately scan the details. Seeing that vitality and stamina were zero. A look of understanding dawned upon me.
"Finally the golem puppet has run out of oil," I said to myself.
Then I bravely walked toward the golem puppet inspect. After arriving in front of golem's head position. A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
Usually the monsters have crystal gems inside their head. The crystal gems were similar to mana cores. So I don't know what's powering the golem puppet's magic.
When this rose in my heart. I quickly became interested. Suddenly an image of a dagger comes to mind. I almost forgot about the broken dagger.
The broken dagger I got from the abandoned battlefield last time. I think it's penetrative power is higher. It can easily slice through the head.
Then I brought the broken dagger from the system's storage space and held it in my palm. After observing the massive golem head, I made a huge cut across its face.
I felt no resistance whatsoever. The earth golem's defense turned futile. Then after breaking the head, I immediately start looking into it.
Then I see a big crystal core. A hint of amazement flashes in his eyes. What kind of crystal core is this? I can now confirm this thing is similar to mana core or crystal gem.
Then I looked around and began to check the surroundings. After seeing no problem, I stopped my search.
I don't want to waste more time in inspection. Because I had plenty of time after leaving the ruin. So now, I have decided to place it inside the Gregor mansion.
The massive golem puppet disappeared and appeared inside the Gregor mansion. Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
Now I can resume my adventure. First it was the treasure of mana stones. And now its 5th order golem puppet.
Looks like after returning, I don't have to earn for a long time. This mystic ruin is indeed a treasure trove. I merely found two spots coincidently .
I can't wait to see other areas mentioned by the person.
"It's time to leave this marshy terrain," I muttered to myself. Then I walk toward the east.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
On one hand, Vincent has successfully opened his treasure account. On the other hand the remaining members were chased and hunted by hostile wizards.
Only Lara White has managed to defeat everyone in her way. But still few members suffered severe injuries to their bodies.
The trial is harder than everyone had expected.
At the same time, the dark league wizards quickly began to carry out their plan. Unlike other wizards their motive was different.
After entering the ruin, they began to find the location of restrictions. Only the places with restrictions contain relics. The dark league wizards not only want to collect the relics.
But they have also intended to kill bright faction wizards using the restrictions.
So after some time, they eventually found the place to carry out their plan.
Meanwhile,
I witnessed the change in terrain again. But to my surprise, this time the place looks like some kind of habitat.
I walked on solid ground. My eyes were scanning the surroundings to find some evidence. Right now there are some green trees growing in this place.
And the surface was covered with smelly green patches. I couldn't help but recall the words of the person who I had thrashed a few hours ago.
"Every terrain hides something secret," I said to myself.
"Metallic mounds" "Earth golem puppet"
"And now what?" I mumbled under my breath.
[Ding! Warning!]
[Ding! Hostile force is detected]
The system's words echoed in my mind.
The next moment, I feel goosebumps all over my body. After a long time, I have heard warnings from the system.
"System, show the target's details," I said to the system.
[Ding! Host's command is recognized.]
[Ding! The command is executed.]
[Status Panel]
[Target's Name: Ground Bear]
[Type: Metallic Monster]
[Order: 5th order peak level]
[Strength: 481]
[Vitality: 483]
[Speed: 485]
[Stamina: 488]
[Skill: Fierce Claw, Slam, Metallic Bite, Fast Speed]
A row of information appeared before my eyes. The next moment, my expression becomes dignified. It's a peak 5th order monster. After scanning the details, I closed the system.
The monster has found me before I could even realize. Then I see the bear in a sleeping position. But its brown eyes were clearly staring at me.
Fortunately, its monster is not a puppet. It would bleed incase of deep injuries. My mouth curves into arcs. It takes me back to the memory lane.
Back in Venen City's wilderness. I used to be afraid of level-4 monsters. But here I'm facing the even more dangerous 5th order monsters.
After calming down my heart, I observed the bear's movements. Clearly the bear is taking a nap. But I'm sure that it has spotted me.
Otherwise the system wouldn't have warned me. When I walked further, the bear monster finally moved its body.
The bear monster stood up from the ground and looked down at me. Seeing that, I walked closer to cast the spell.
Seeing my actions, the bear monster let's our angry growl before charging towards me.
"Repulsive Force," I cast the magic spell.
The repulsive force collided with the bear monster in no time.
Bang!
A terrible sound resonated throughout the area. It was a force attack. But I can tell from the sound that Impact force was huge.
When the smoke cleared. I see the clear condition of the bear monster. It was deeply injured. The metallic claws were bent slightly.
