When Ella joined the fight, Gorden sweated profusely and every beath hurt as if he would breathe fire. If the monstrosity would hit him even once, he would most likely be crushed to death.
That'sThat's why he was really happy to finally see somebody else also emerge into the fight.
Since Lars had unleashed his fire onto the golem, its attacks had become slower and less terrifying. However, it was still the hardest enemy Gorden had faced in this new world.
Furthermore, less than half of the team was able to fight right now. Lars had exhausted his mana reserve by saving Gorden while Lara and Elo had lost consciousness.
But Gorden still believed that there was a slither of hope to win this battle. They just had to not get hit once and bring the boss's health to zero at the same time.
This was in no way an easy thing to achieve, but it wasn't impossible either.
Because Ella approached from behind, the golem had no way to see her. But it had no eyes anyways so Gorden was not sure if it could detect Ella.
When Gorden already thought Ella'sElla's sneak attack could work, the monster suddenly turned around.
Gorden was sure that if the golem had a face, its face would reveal disappointment.
It turned around slowly, its arms hanging onto the floor. When Ella realised that she had been discovered, she rushed at the golem and jumped towards its blank face.
If the golem was not wounded, it would have punched her out of the air effortlessly. But in its present state, it couldn't even block Ella'sElla's attack.
Her brown bone slashed at the golems head with astounding speed. When it hit, a loud splashing sound could be heard. The impact of the blunt weapon caused an unbelievable amount of blood and flesh to spread out in the room.
Although the wound would have been mortal for any human, the golem didn't seem to care in the slightest. It didn't possess bones or organs, why would it care about a head wound.
As long as it could kill those small humans, it could easily use their meat to regenerate.
It started slashing at the two humans again, but they were too nimble.
If it were in peek condition, there would be no problem killing these insects. Now, however, they could evade every attack the golem threw at them, while they attacked over and over.
Because of there continues attacks, the golem's health decreased slowly but surely.
For a higher life form, it was unthinkable to loose to such petty creaturs!
In a rage, it unleashed the last power it possessed. It fell on its four limbs and sprinted towards the unconscious humans on the entrance. As long as it could reach them, it could regenerate and kill those small annoying creatures.
However, Ella did not plan to let it through. She raised her weapon, a red glow engulfing her body. When the golem was about to overrun her, she swung her arms down.
When the bone hit the golem's shoulder, it sounded like somebody had thrown a mountain into the sea.
With the force of an explosion, meat pieces the size of a human and fountains of blood covered the whole room.
Elo had just awakened when a piece of meat the size of a cow landed beside him. He cursed his bad luck when a mass of blood and flesh spread over his body.
Only then, Elo noticed Lars. He stood in front of him, also covered in gore.
"What happened? Is everyone still alive?" Elo looked around the room, searching for his teammates. But he couldn't even see one of them, because of all the gore inside of this room.
"I think everybody should still be alive, but I healed you, so I am not certain about that." Lars looked at him with big eyes.
"Ding"
"Superior Meat Golem (dungeon boss, very hard) has been defeated.
The resources are being transferred to the leader of the team."
"You resaved:
-1 dungeon key (2)
-5 soul gems (rare)
-1 ancient box (very rare)"
Elo was astonished, he would have never thought that his team would be able to kill this massive golem. And it was not only the size, but it was also even ranked as a "very hard" opponent.
"Ding"
"Congratulations, you are the first team to kill a very hard dungeon boss.
Your reward is:
-1 free stat point (legendary)
-100 soul gems (rare)"
"Ding"
"Congratulations, you are the first team to clear the second floor of a dungeon.
Your reward is:
-100 soul gems (rare)"
When Elo saw the bountiful rewards, his heart started racing. He couldn't believe it. This entire time, they had gathered around one hundred soul gems and power stones.
And now, they got 200 soul gems as a reward! This was almost unbelievable.
At this moment, the mountains of flesh in front of him suddenly started moving.
-"But this isn't possible, even the system said that the boss was killed."-
To Elo's relief, it wasn't a monster that came out of the flesh, but his teammates.
As if she had anticipated the arrival of her teammates, Lara also started moving again.
If Gorden hadn't directly run to her side, she would have fainted again, to the thick smell of blood.
Only when Gorden suddenly embraced her, she could finally relax.
When Elo started speaking, he had their full attention.
"I am happy to see that everybody is still alive. Obviously, you successfully defeated the boss. Thank you. Without you, we all would have died." He looked at them warmly.
"The system has rewarded us because we are the first ones to clear the second floor of a dungeon. We received 200 soul gems. With those, all of you can level up to level 3."
Elo handed 30 soul gems to every one of his teammates, and they all immediately used them.
Meanwhile, a small golden ball appeared in Elo's palm.
"Ding"
"Do you want to use the free stat point (legendary)?"
-"Yes."-
"You have one available stat point, how do you want to spend it?"
-"Increase Charisma!"-
When Elo already thought he would fall asleep like the others, a new screen appeared before him.
"Ding"
"Because of your selection of stats, you may choose out of three skills:
-Roulers Authority (passive) {-> Leaders authority}
[ if you are the leader of your team:
-Followers: +1% for every stat (at least +1) for every point of Charisma the leader posseses]
-Healers blessing (passive)
[+50% healing speed]
-Golden Thumb (passive)
[You can achieve higher prices while selling and lower costs while buying on the market]"
-"That are just the same skills as before. I want Roulers authority. Right now, it will not make a difference, but when I am level 15, all of my buffs could be twice as good as now."-
"Ding"
"Because of your selection of stats and skills, a title is assigned:
-Lord:
You can claim a piece of land which will be under your control. You can build stone buildings and a city hall.
[See more information]
Can be upgraded. You need 20 Charisma to be able to upgrade your title.

When Elo read this, he started laughing. Only when his consciousness faded away, his laughter finally died away.
