Nimble, small, ruthless, emotionless, and a true fiend to all heavy weaponry wielding fighters, The power radiating from the small golem reached an astounding height.
*Appraisal*
*Peak mortal release earth Golem*
"So he must be feeling exhausted too, by controlling such a tower it must take a large amount of power and energy to efficiently control it, and with his temperament, he must be burning out a lot of energy creating Golems," I thought.
Injured, out of stamina, and with only a short while before the ice power I had summoned would run out, I put all my concentration to somehow defeating this death golem before it gets the best of me.
Quite honestly I was receiving cuts in every exchange with the golem, from the daggers it picked up in the weapons room.
"The ice Ki shrouding my body is wearing off and I only have 5 origin energy points to use to finish this, and the core absorbing the energy from the luminous rocks and energy outside is just above my head I need to use that skill if I want a chance at stopping Slith once and for all,
Forcibly disconnecting him will cause a heavy amount of damage to him and if anything goes wrong I'll just ask for help from the tiger incurring more debt." I mumbled.
Gazing at the Scrawny but deadly Golem with a resolute gaze. I pulled out, one of the self-assembled core cubes I had made, from my sleeve as it lighted up in blue color and had faint lightning streaks flow on it causing my heart to tremble, immediately I activated
'Tetras skill: -5 origin energy'
Then forcibly pierced the self-made energy core into my iron hammerhead creating crackling sounds as my hand trembled.
*Attempt to forcibly attach [SS] mortal release core to item successful, Item upgrade*
*One use item, Explosive lightning mortal release[A] rank hammer*
*Upgrade with core grants 60+ Forge points*
"The rank downgraded but it's still good, even though I have used the tetras' skill for a short time right now I got the gist of it all, unlike Dwarven touch that allows me to physically manipulate other Attribute particle bonds holding elements together in my surroundings. With the aid of draconic white eyes that show me the elements in the form of threads.
Tetras manipulates the Attributes and energy threads to combine them in the form of cubes instantly allowing me to assemble the cubes to the structure I desire similar to the molecular models back at high school but it still takes up energy to make it and takes a while for me to recharge to use it again after using it consecutively 3 times.
The Golem had been waiting for me to finish forging and a smirk of disdain formed on its mouth, followed by a ridiculing voice, "A weak mortal release stage weapon will not do any damage to this golem" said the Slith and continued
"Hahaha to defeat you I waited to let you do all that you can to prepare for your obvious loss, I want to thoroughly beat you to death at your best so that when you die it will at least entertain me, now come at me if you dare and give me your worthless life," Said Slith savagely full of malice in his tone.
Saying nothing I then Leaned slightly forward and bolted forward leaving a crater of my footprint where I had left and savagely swung my hammer upwards aiming for the Little critter pouncing at me also in mid-air holding a dagger.
Boom!
An explosion occurred causing rubble and dust to spread around the room covering both me and the Golem.
"Hahaha, Finally I can sense my dagger has inflicted some damage to you, even though for a dwarf you are agile and your strength is quite amazing for a first stage of mortal release practitioner you still lack expertise in combat,
Unlike I who grew up sparring with the royal guards famed in great battles and skirmishes with your demon clan over territorial regions till this day. I even learned higher ranking techniques of the Ascension stage of the [A] rank to control the earth elements. You stood no chance against me from the very
Beginning of this damned fight hahaha…W-wait! The core it's" Said Slith, with a panicked tone.
Vitality: 71
Health: -31
"urk!" Spitting out an arrow of blood I smiled watching the knife stuck on my left shoulder and the energy drained golem crumble down, I pulled out the knife and watched as the wound on my shoulder healed up at a visible speed as I kneeled down on the ground looking up at the destroyed ceiling.
A red magic circle was destroyed by my one-time use explosive lightning hammer, and a faint smile crept up on me, "Looks like I lost even though I destroyed the magic circle Slith is still kicking," I said.
"Y-Y-You!! " Screamed Slith as his rage-filled the tower causing it to tremble uncontrollably.
He must have a treasure to protect his spirit against being forcibly disconnected from the tower since after I used Dwarven touch he must have figured out what I intended to do and prepared accordingly.
"Haa" sighing I got up. The vitality Stat was doing a good Job albeit in a slow manner, "Leo I'm all out of power do to anything can you help me with that bastard? I will owe you one again," I said exhausted, and even if my powers are ranged differently from others since the system aims to take me to the heights of godhood,
Fighting someone a whole realm above me is still too taxing.
"Kid for an initial stage mortal release demon you take the cake for the most bizarre existence I have seen in my life, with all the years I have lived you are totally on a different level than even a beast cub," said Leo with an astonished tone.
'No wonder god powers are near impossible for mortals to attain such power to face someone more powerful than me and still manage not to be killed is amazing and even though I did not know much about Combat just following my intuition, and the intelligence stats. I was able to make good decisions in the midst of battling Slith.' I thought
After a moment I heard an agonizing scream down the tower that belonged to Slith, and since I had destroyed his core we could now hear outside noises and then I realized it was not Slith who was screaming but someone else outside.
"What's going on here," I said
Leo's voice rang in my head, "Kid there is an early-stage omega body expert beast outside, a-and oho! Kid, I sense my blue scroll lets go get it"
With wide eyes of surprise, I said, "Really that fast! What about Slith? Wait, you know what? Leave him be just knock him unconscious"
"Hey, kid are you sure? leaving an enemy alive who tried to kill you will lead to unimaginable consequences in the future," said Leo in a grave tone.
I smiled "I know what I'm doing,"
"Your funeral kid," Said Leo
Then I heard Slith's alarmed voice"Vile beast you dare have thoughts of laying your paws on me…Ack!'' Then everything went quiet.
To grow stronger I needed more pressure and Slith is a good way to build me up into what I need to achieve. Letting him go is a benefit to me. If he outlives his usefulness then I will turn him into an energy core since I have the system turning me into a god.
