Passing through the portal we arrived in a smooth and circular stone room, in the center of it there was something I didn't expect to find. The guardian of this floor is a knight golem, he is very similar to what my group faced the last time I was in this dungeon, but as I can see he must be a much stronger version of that golem.
He's in hibernation form standing in mine in the living room, but I can clearly see that the details of his maturity and size are different from the first golem of its kind I've seen, and he's armed with a thin sword and a large shield. He is about six feet tall and his body is slightly larger than a warrior equipped with a plate ripple.
What really surprises me is how unusual his shadow element is, the shadow element I see inside his body is totally different from the first knight I faced, he had a solid and smooth shadow element that he used to defend himself and increase the strength of the its body, the golem in front of me now has wild shadow elements, if i wasn't able to differentiate the elements by different colors i would believe i was seeing a golem with the fire element and not the shadow element.
To a shadow element core inside his chest that is shaped like a fire orb, a thread of fire goes out for his entire body, but the thread that goes to the sword and shield is three times the size of the other threads. fine. It seems that this golem has a dominant offensive characteristic, if the first golem I faced was a defensive knight and an offensive knight, he gives me the impression of speed and aggression with his compact body.
If Torris had to block this offensive knight's attack he wouldn't withstand more than three of his moves, I believe his sword is plagued by his shadow element he should be able to reach the maximum strength of a level three magic beast maybe even close to power of level four.
When we formed our attack formation the golem woke up, it came out of its posture that resembled a statue and both its shield and weapon were covered in a black flame. Now his thin sword has become a black flame sword of normal thickness he has advanced at a speed that is identical to my own maximum speed using my wind element.
Dumah blocks the golem with his shield covered by his own shadow element, the black shield is hit by the black fire sword and to my surprise Dumah is not pushed back, he even attacks the golem back using his mace which is covered by a layer of rocks the earth element in the mace is extremely concentrated,
The golem then tries to block the mace with its sword, but when it comes in contact with the mace the earth element explodes in a shower of thorns that push the golem aside. I knew Dumah should be strong, but I didn't expect him to not only block an attack that should have the maximum power a green core warrior should be able to withstand, he managed to break the golem's stance.
When the golem was pushed aside, it was attacked by Vera and Martin. Martin slammed into the golem's shield with his own shield and used the force of the package to push the golem back. Because of the lack of support the golem had to rotate its body because of Martin's attack and this meant that Vera had an opportunity to hit the vulnerable golem.
Vera in a run at her maximum speed she stabbed the golem's neck with her daggers that were vibrating, this is the first time I see this type of attack, both the aura and the shadow element concentrated on the tip of the daggers are vibrating in the shape of the blade of the daggers.
Vera's attack pierces the golem's snout body, and separates the golem's head from the body in a single movement.
This surprised me, I really didn't expect him to die from a single blow from Vera, the body drops to his knees on the ground his sword and shield have been released, but Vera and Martin who were near the golem haven't stopped but are running away from the golem. golem.
I'm just confused for a few seconds because in front of me the black fire core inside the golem's body has sucked up all the mana and elemental energy is looking unstable.
It didn't take long for the golem to explode in a shower of black fire and sharp rocks, I summoned a fire and wind shield in front of me, it barely managed to shield me from the debris of the explosion. When I look around, I see that everyone is fine and that the flames spread throughout the entire cave.
"Everyone in the whole?! This fire is very complicated to deal with, if you are hit by it you could lose a part of your body."
Luckily neither one of us was hit by the golem. I looked where the golem was and found a black flame inside a dark transparent glass orb.
"Where's the golem's gem? I only see his shadow element on the ground."
"I blew it up! Have you already forgotten that?"
"It's the first time I've seen it happen, Vera."
"Glad you weren't close to the golem or Captain Raven would be very upset about losing a promising rookie."
"The first golem I killed didn't explode, why did it explode like that?"
"Because I decapitated it, if you don't pierce the core of a strong golem, it might explode if you destroy its sensory center, but this weakness is only common in low level golems if you try to decapitate a level four golem it just will continue fighting normally."
"I didn't know the golem had a sensory center, I thought they simply sensed the environment through the mana in the air, like radar."
"Only the high level, an elite three snow golem like this can only see the world through their eyes, but as I destroyed his head his core stopped receiving information from abroad, he reformed his magic gem into a bomb."
"You must be careful Ulric, the more than one type of monster that can become a bomb if it has the fire element, the explosion will be very violent, although there aren't many monsters that can explode and it's always good to be careful, I think dying in an explosion is an unpleasant way to die."
"Thanks for the warning, Dumah, but I wish you had told me sooner not after the golem blew you up."
"Too bad, I thought you would know about the explosive monsters."
Why don't we change the subject, how much is this shadow element orb worth it looks like daggers have an interesting effect was it difficult to block his flames Dumah?"
"A bit, the flames were pretty corrosive even my shadow element could barely resist it, if I had hit it a few more times my shield would have been damaged by the fire."
"We sell the orb or someone in the group will want it. This type of orb is rare to fall, right?"
"Yes, he is rare and this one is the level three offensive type. It would be great for a whip than a blunt blade or weapon, trapping an enemy in corrosive flames would be more effective."
"I don't need this orb, for my daggers it would be better to give the orb to the captain who uses a whip."
"More Raziel uses a whip too and a level three orb isn't strong enough to make a weapon to replace Captain's current whip. So, I think it's better to give this orb to the newbie if he has a weapon made with this orb it will be much more useful than now, when a high-level monster appears, these flames will be able to corrode a strong defense."
"So, the rookie will already get a new weapon, you really have good luck Raziel."
"Luck can be a tricky thing, Vera."
Getting a confused look from everyone but Raziel who is lost in his own confused thoughts is his face and a combination of joy and disappointment.
"Is something wrong with Raziel?"
"He's kind of already in some financial trouble because of an orb like this, he's already indebted to some friends as well as he has to save money to craft an armor set to use the first orb that has defensive properties. And now he's going to get into debt again and he needs to get even more money to be able to finance a level three weapon so he doesn't waste this orb."
"Really?"
"Yes, Martin our friend Raziel is in a lot of financial trouble right now."
"Problems? I wanted to have this kind of financial problem to have many key materials to make a set of shadow element equipment."
"Don't be so nervous, Vera. You just have to think about the amount of money young Raziel has to save for now to make his new equipment to deal with his complex feelings, but he is lucky to be from a noble family who is earning a lot of money now, they must help him now."
"I'm so jealous!"
It took some time for Raziel to recover and for Vera to come to terms with Raziel's luck. In order to continue the exploration of the dungeon, there are still five floors before we can leave the dungeon without having to undergo the training of Captain Raven.
