◈ 052. [Free Exploration] Carefully destroying parts
Our party stood in front of the door of the boss room.
It was the first stone building I saw in this back alley. Looking at the scale, I wonder if it was about the size of a warehouse.
Like the shacks they had passed through, the entrance to this stone building was sealed with an iron plate. No, it was.
“Something… It looks like it broke the seal and came out.”
Lucas carefully fumbled with his hand on the hollowed-out iron plate.
It was literally. The iron plate that sealed the door here was torn from the inside.
I don’t know what was inside, but the seal seemed to be of no use.
I gestured inside it.
“Looks like the road is this way. I must go in here.”
The complexions of the party members all turned pale. Damian and Evangeline especially hated it.
“Does it really have to be like that?”
“It just goes back… ?”
“Noisy teenagers. I can’t go back without seeing the boss mob’s face after coming this far.”
I patted Lucas on the back.
“Advance!”
“yep.”
Swallowing a dry saliva, Lucas approached the entrance to the stone building and pushed the door inside.
Squeak-
The rusty hinge made an ugly sound. The broken and half-remaining door opened with difficulty.
Our party went inside, maintaining the battle line.
Contrary to the hideous atmosphere on the outside, the inside was surprisingly fine. Of course, it was said that it was relatively intact, and it was a piece of shit.
‘Wide and high.’
It was inside a spacious building that looked like a warehouse. The left and right width was wide, but the ceiling was especially high.
It is almost as tall as a three-story building.
However, there was not a single storage item that should have been stored in a warehouse.
All of the wooden showcases, which seemed to have originally contained storage items, all rotted away, and few of them remained intact.
Lucas narrowed his eyes as he looked at one of the display cases lying on the floor.
“You can see signs of sphagnum on the floors, walls and furniture. Apparently, this place has been submerged for a long time. It has since been abandoned… … Could there have been a flood?”
“What’s under the lake? No wonder it gets wet.”
Giving a rough answer, I illuminated the surroundings with the lantern in my hand.
“Rather than that, we are already in the boss room. Do not lower your guard.”
“Prince, over there.”
Damian gripped my sleeve tightly. me huh? I looked down at Damian.
“Why is that, Damian?”
“excuse me… there is.”
“what.”
“… .”
Damian pointed to the inside of the warehouse with a thin, trembling hand, and when I looked there, I breathed in.
there was.
An incredibly gigantic golem that was incomparable to the golems of the past.
like a person… … Lying sideways on the floor of the warehouse.
Tring!
Immediately after, a system message appeared in front of my eyes.
[Hidden Back Alley – Boss Room]
– Defeat the boss!
– Lv.20 Giant Steam Golem < Warehouse Cleaner Bayanbulak >
– This boss has a reward for breaking parts.
District 2 boss monster. Bayanbulak, the giant steam golem.
‘Why did it have a human name attached to it again?’
Following the District 1 boss monster Sewer Manager Paleig, this time it is also a boss monster with a human name. What is the reason?
There was no room for doubt. A terrifying sound began to emanate from the lying golem’s body.
Goo Woong… … !
As if waking up from a nap, the golem lying on the floor slowly rose.
“Oops. You fell asleep again.”
A mechanical voice came from the golem. My party members and I all raised our weapons and prepared for battle.
Kung Goo Woog… … !
The golem that stood up was in a strange posture with a hunched back.
Nonetheless, it was incredibly large. My head was almost touching the ceiling.
It’s about twice as tall and three times as big as the steam golem you encountered earlier. What is this ignorant size?
Evangeline, who was looking up at the golem with her mouth wide open, murmured.
“Give me the key over there.”
No, that’s what you’re talking about in this situation?
Whoops-!
The fully raised golem stretched out its arms slowly forward.
《Then, let’s start cleaning today.》 In
the next moment, the golem stretched out its arms, and red mana rushed furiously into them
.
shot out
streaks of red light.
A beam of light flew in at an incredibly fast speed, but Lucas and Evangeline were preparing first.
Evangeline ran forward and raised her shield to block one beam of light, and Lucas deflected the other beam with his sword.
ping! Phoebebing!
Kwakwagua light… … !
The beams of light scattered in all directions from the shield and sword stirred up the inside of the warehouse.
The furniture inside the warehouse, which was already a mess, fell over raising dust.
“It’s light magic. It’s hard to see these days.”
Jupiter wasn’t scared when he saw the size of the boss monster, but he seemed nervous when he saw the magic.
“Your Highness, how… Could you please give me instructions?”
“of course.”
He perfectly understands how to attack the giant steam golem.
‘No, among the monsters in this game, there’s no one I don’t know how to attack!’
I’ve been dealing with this guy until I get tired of it. There is nothing to be embarrassed about!
“The golem in front of me is big, but the principle of attack is the same as the previous ones. Destroy the magic core!”
Of course, it’s not that simple.
I said it loud enough for everyone to hear.
“However, because this guy is so big, he has magical power cores scattered all over his body. Both hands, arms, legs, chest, head. It possesses a total of 10 mana cores.”
“Are there 10?!”
“So you’re saying you’re going to keep rampaging like this until you destroy all 10 of them?!”
Evangeline and Lucas, who managed to block the continuous stream of light, were frightened. I grinned.
“You have to do that to get rid of it completely. but!”
I pointed at the glowing magic core in the golem’s palm.
“If you destroy the magic core, that part will stop moving.”
“aha… !”
“First of all, we should aim for those hands that emit magic!”
Kurrureung!
Before I could finish my words, Jupiter called out a thunderbolt.
“All right! Then this old man goes first!”
Flash-!
A shower of bright yellow lightning struck the golem’s right hand.
The entire right hand was charred black, and the mana core of the right hand, which had been exposed while emitting magic, was instantly shattered.
Tukan-!
Damien’s sniping followed. I didn’t even give an order, but I was aiming for the magic core in my left hand.
The magic bullet that flew in was accurately inserted into the mana core of the left hand, and the remaining energy pierced the palm.
The right hand was burnt black, and the left hand had a hole in it.
With both hands tattered, the golem couldn’t shoot any more magic.
thud! thud! thud!
Then the golem began to stride toward us. The movement is slow, but the stride is large, so you will get close quickly.
You have to get rid of it before that.
“Next is both feet. take away motivation Lucas! Evangeline!”
“yes!”
“Let’s go!”
When I confirmed that the magic attack had stopped, Evangeline lowered her shield and ran forward after hitting the front first. Lucas was right next to him.
The golem swayed and waved its long arms at the two knights approaching.
Quagmire!
His posture was sloppy, but his power was terrifying.
The floor of the warehouse where the trace of the arm brushed dented, and the entire warehouse vibrated with wind pressure.
‘The power is amazing, but the motion is too big!’
Lucas and Evangeline easily evaded the attack and reached the golem’s feet.
“My lower back hurts a lot these days. Maybe it’s because I’ve been brushing my whole life?”
… !”
Evangeline, who arrived on her right foot, jumped up and slammed her spear at the magic core installed on the golem’s foot.
Kwajik-!
Evangeline’s spear, which pierced the top of her foot at once, glowed white and exploded inside her feet. It was [Damage payback].
“I can’t lose… !”
Lucas’s sword, which had arrived on the other foot, also flashed with a halo of light. It is a [Strike of Will].
Tsukaak!
Lucas’s intense sword strike shattered the golem’s armor, and two subsequent strikes shattered the mana core.
Kung Koo Goo Palace… … .
The golem’s feet stopped.
Then the golem slowly fell to the ground.
Even if you can’t use both hands and feet, you can move your arms and legs, so you’re going to attack by crawling.
“I also want to enter the court someday and learn magic. I’m tired of sweeping and wiping this place like a machine.”
The golem, lying on the floor while continuing to make incomprehensible noises, slowly began crawling towards me.
After a while, if you reach within the range of that long arm, it will launch a physical attack.
However, I already knew this pattern and ordered the party members to deal with it in advance.
“Evangeline, come back here and defend! Lucas, wait there and neutralize the magic core on the leg of the golem. There must be a magic core installed inside the joint!”
As soon as my order was given, Evangeline came back panting like a hamster.
Lucas nodded from the other side and grabbed his sword.
“Jupiter Damian! Concentrate your firepower on the attacking arm first! Likewise, there is a magic core inside the joint!”
As soon as I gave my instructions, the golem stretched out its arms. Because of its huge height, we reached the crossroads right away.
Jupiter and Damian fired magic bullets and magic bullets without saying who was first.
Jupiter’s thunderbolt burned the armor, and Damian’s sniping pierced the mana core exposed within it.
Kuwang! Kwakwawang!
However, the golem’s massive arm exploded and exploded as it managed to land on our heads.
That attack was intercepted by Evangeline’s shield.
Bang-!
“Ughueek!”
Evangeline let out a strange scream and stumbled.
Seeing how the shield glowed terrifyingly, it must have been so powerful that even [Damage Save] couldn’t handle it all.
“Are you okay, Evangeline?”
“sure! Totally fine! Because you do?!”
Evangeline said, ‘Ssssyaaaaa!’ With a strong spirit, he pushed the golem’s arm aside and threw it away.
Kugu Palace… … !
The golem’s arm, which lost its strength and fell to the ground, was thrown into a thick cloud of dust.
Evangeline glanced back at me triumphantly.
“how is it!”
“It’s dope.”
I quietly gave a thumbs up. Evangeline scratched the back of her head shyly as if she was embarrassed after asking for a compliment.
Nosebleeds run down your little nose, but let’s just not talk about it… … .
Kugoong! Kugu Palace!
The golem tried to attack again with its free arm, but it could no longer change its posture.
In the meantime, Lucas tore the golem’s mana core to pieces.
It is difficult to maneuver by moving only the arms, so it is impossible to attack this side.
“Someday I… … By developing cleaning magic… … To ease your fellow cleaners… … .》
Nevertheless, the golem somehow tried to rotate its arm to attack this way, and Evangeline’s spear was stuck in that arm joint.
Cookie light!
Payback the damage you saved earlier. The last arm of the golem is destroyed.
Lucas also destroyed the magic core on the chest of the now immobilized golem.
I split the back side of the glove and indifferently stabbed the sword inside, and the magic core in my chest was incapacitated.
However, even in this situation, the golem did not give up.
Koo Goo Goo!
I tried to crush this side by swinging my barely moving head.
I heard Jupiter and Damian gasp as the giant head rushes in, scratching the floor.
I was preparing to dodge in advance, so I could pull myself out, but Jupiter and Damian, who were relatively slow, could be swept away.
‘No! I just want to give orders from behind!’
I stepped forward, gripping the lucky strikes with both hands.
Lucas and Evangeline are far apart and I have no choice but to take them back.
“I want to get carried away quietly and be carried on my back!”
Shouting my true intentions, I stretched out my fist.
The moment my fist and the golem’s head met,
the ring! T-ring! T-ring!
In one corner of the field of view, the damage slot began to spin tight.
How many are you this time?!
