Golden Experience

Episode 137: Elder Rock Golem

"... damn it, there's really nothing here."

I've been exploring the volcano for some time, but instead of seemingly monsters, I don't even see anyone moving.

I haven't checked the crater, but heat and gas prevented me from approaching.

We need stronger heat resistance skills and skills that do not require breathing or similar.

"If there's anything in the fire escape, there's nothing we can do about it right now."

I can't think of an effective means of attacking monsters who are alive and well in an environment where the Rares can't even get close at the moment, even if there is something there.

"Do we have to put it behind us... Well, I'm not saying it's that close, not from Reeve Great Forest, not from my other dominions, and I don't mind letting it go."

Once we get down to the surface and hear the opinions of the other members, we decide whether to retreat or stick.

For now, I caught my eye, standing on a rock bed that bypassed me greatly when I was first walking and climbing.

The perimeter is well visible due to its considerable height. You won't get ambushed and hit even if you're taking a break here. If anything, it would be more helpful if you were ambushed.

"Well. So what do we do? I wonder if it would be beneficial to keep exploring here."

"What do you think? Marion, White Devil and Silver Flowers are magically lowering the ambient temperatures now, but as long as we keep doing this, these three MPs will remain diminished. If you stop, you could be affected by everyone's LP, and I was wondering if you should avoid working on this mountain for a long time in the first place."

Kelly is right. I didn't think it was hot so far. As a rare perception, it is undeniable that we had a sweet look at this continent overall. Much reflection is needed.

Though the early continent, there may be areas of difficulty that will be opened after the middle of the year. For example, in the vicinity of this volcano, there is a possibility that the appropriate level will jump from this rocky mountain area to the surrounding forest with normal difficulty.

Usually there are some restrictions that make it inaccessible, but the game basically doesn't tie the player, so there's nothing like that. They also admit the freedom to attack and die on their own.

"... I wonder if we should come after the system of approved dungeons has been implemented to earn more experience"

Rare, a species even called disaster, but given Blanc's guardian Count's reaction and his death without any resistance to the power of the former Spirit King artifact, it is very unlikely that that much power lies with him.

I guess that means you're freshly reincarnated and still like a baby. Sure enough, even if you take one human, there should be about as much difference between heaven and earth in fighting power between residents of the city NPC and tank players like Gill who challenged Rare.

"... All right, for today..."

"Boss! Something's coming!

Remy shouted, who had been quiet all day. White demons and silver blossoms also strengthens the body.

This combination means...

"Sound!

Soon enough the Rares will hear it.

It sounds so compelling that it's as if it's shaking to the ground.

"Looks like it's not! Your feet are shaking!?

I finally realized this stage, but the huge rock underneath my feet is full of magic. And it's gradually getting thicker.

"This guy was a demon, not a rock!

Put Kelly and the others on the white devil and silver flowers immediately and retreat to the sky. Soon the rock mass beneath his eyes turned clearly into a magical one, and he rose up sounding the ground.

"Giant...... no, this is a golem! I've never seen it before..."

I was wondering what organisms could survive in such harsh environments, but they were not decent organisms in the first place.

In addition, the surrounding rocks rise one after the other in response to the activation of this large golem.

Not every rock within sight seems to be a golem, but it still climbs quite a few. Golem, but not necessarily no one remains simulated on the rock, so it can't just go down to the surface. It's like an ecology where you can't even see magic unless you start moving.

"In this position, white demons and silver blossoms can't play melee."

They carry luggage on their backs that cannot be dropped.

If you can ride battles, the story changes, but if you don't have equipment for riding battles, you don't have the know-how.

You won't be attacked as long as you're in the air, but the means of attack from here is limited to magical artillery.

"Or call in the airmen and artillery and you're going to be able to ravage... You can't call me here and put me in line here."

What would there be when it comes to effective magic on a chunk of rock?

"Earth Resistance" was certainly "Ice Magic", but if you attack with ice, it doesn't mean that monsters that are skewed in the land attributes can take a lot of damage. Although there may be a tendency to do so, there are not many people who are biased towards certain attributes in the first place by ordinary creatures.

"But the ants didn't like ice. Ali is a species with strong land attributes, so why don't you just try it?"

Well, I'll do it.

Marion rains a bunch of ice from the White Devil's back. I thought it was single-body magic, but it seems to be a magical range in that form. Single Magic certainly won't catch up with Recasts.

Due to the size difference, the large golem doesn't seem to have been heavily damaged, but it seems to work great for the small golems around it. Although it is considerably larger than a normal human being when it comes to small size.

I don't think the rock is softer than the ice, but the golem that hit the ice is crushing that part and taking a lot of damage.

Marion has been observing the damage for some time while waiting for a recast, but now that the attack has been found to be effective, he continues to demolish the magic intermittently. White demons and silver flowers emit similar magic while waiting for the recast. The less this will do, the more clutterfish will be cleaned up.

The advantage of being able to attack unilaterally from above is awesome.

"No, can you just forgive me for that......!

Stop attacking! Spread out! "

I wondered if the large golem had gripped the rock at my feet and threw it over the sky.

Pretty fast. If it hits, it will hit the ground and fall.

It's not hard to deflect if you pay attention, but if you stay focused on magic, it doesn't work either.

"You're telling me you're even prepared for an anti-aircraft attack. I wonder if he's the area boss."

Whatever it is, it is doubtful whether the current players in general can compete with each other. I'm sure it's Raid class at least.

Let the White Devil and the Silver Flowers escape further into the air and confront each other alone.

If you think about it, I've never had a proper air war before. The opponent stands on the ground, but if you think about the size of the opponent, you can call it air combat.

We also need to train for a case where Rae fights alone in preparation for the Reid battle against the players who might come back one day.

"The White Devils want us to target the surrounding miscellaneous fish. I'll take care of this boss."

"Boss...."

"It's okay. I haven't done much today, and if I have to, I have" Castling. "I'll never die."

Insurance that you leave your stock of experience for when you die is also important, but you also need insurance that you don't die before you do. 'Casling' is inherently for that purpose. I'll leave the subject to you, Ominus, so you can use it instantly. Using this means that even Rare will be attacked, and you will certainly die, Ominus. I'm sorry about him, but there's no other suitable person. Because the others are mostly doing some kind of work.

"Now, let's start with the" Ice Magic "... wow, danger!

His hands and feet suddenly grew from a rock that was supposed to have been scratched by a piece of paper, and he was about to be attacked dangerously.

The big golem is throwing a rock at his feet, which means there is a certain chance that the golem is mixed. It can be said that the risk of stone throwing has increased even further. Avoidance needs to be done somewhat around.

"If you're thinking about it, it's very troublesome. I wonder. I can't judge you."

Consider effective means while exercising restraint with appropriate 'ice magic'.

You can hit him close, but given the size difference, I don't know how effective it is.

"'Feather Gatling'"

A very small hole emptied countless times into Golem's body. It doesn't flicker at all if you don't have any pain, but you seem to be wearing it quite deep enough to deflect the stone throwing track. But it's also been repeated several times, and the first hole I wore has disappeared at some point. It must have been repaired by natural recovery.

"That's not the only trouble with this game, a big, high LP boss. If it wasn't for a short-term showdown from the start, or a total attack on a weak spot, the fight wouldn't be over for long."

It's tough for Boss Monster's LP to recover automatically in proportion. That in itself is the basic ability all characters have to be big and small, but it breaks the player's heart when they do it in the reid boss.

If I could keep shooting 'Feather Gatling' in a row, I'd be able to sharpen it one day, but it's not something I've figured out how long it'll take. And the cost of this is LP consumption. Worst of all, it would be possible to fight while using potions, but it is a little bad to hear that the Demon King has a nutritional drink and thus a war of attrition.

However, even if you use magic to saturate, if the recast overlaps, your options become narrower.

You have to calculate the damage dealt and the recast time, as well as the enemy's healing speed, and choose the magic that most efficiently causes damage to accumulate.

Collaborate magic from "Demon Eye" and unleash "Dark Impregnation". I also used it in the Wang capital. This is a "dark magic" that grips all the characters, objects in the range together and erases them to the other side of the darkness. There is a long recast time on top of both the consumption MP and the big one, but no one has survived this magic properly before. I don't know the exact amount of damage, but I can say that it is currently the most aggressive of Rare's handbills.

"That."

But it ended in underdevelopment. It progressed to the point where the MP was consumed, but not by subsequent activation. It seems that the process did not proceed because something failed to meet the activation conditions. Because it is a range magic, the target is a specified range, but apparently if something doesn't fit within the range, it ends up underdeveloped. I guess you can't just cut a part of something and make it explode. If you can do that, it means you can die instantly if you aim for a steeple no matter how big your opponent is.

"Wasn't there such a good story?"

Then we have to gently sharpen the tunnel with "ice magic" and magic close to it. "Snow Storm" and "Cold Wave" at the top of "Ice Magic", "Wind Magic" and "Ice Magic" at the top range magic are acquired before "Downburst" and other items that cannot be unlocked are scattered around the center of the large golem and shredded.

"Oh?"

However, this was more effective than expected.

Clearly deals more damage than expected.

"I wonder if a character with a larger body might have disadvantages such as a multi-stage hit with range magic instead of a bonus to LP"

While waiting for the recast, think while shredding the enemies' natural healing in 'Feather Gatling'.

It's hard for a human-sized character to confront a giant energetic without something like that, for sure. But that's the only way to get together for a magic job to throw a Reid party.

Without some flavor in the main melee position of the stand-alone attack, we will not be able to gather talent to fight in a balanced manner. Or as far as bows and arrows are concerned.

Normally speaking, is it a weak spot special effect? I have no idea what the weakness is. "

It would be places like knocking back when attacked by areas that would be weak, temporarily stunning or other state anomalies, or being able to induce site destruction.

But exploring it is not Rare's job. Players who can only attack on their own can do it.

"I have a head, but it's hard to tell how much damage I'm doing because I don't have a face."

Since the target's damage does not appear as a numeric value, it is usually inferred by facial expressions, damage levels, etc.

Alternatively, there may be skills that show damage and LP with numerical and visual information, but we don't know about Rare so far.

The movement of the large golem under the eye is becoming quite dull. But I don't know if it's bad status due to lower temperatures or behavioral loss due to accumulated damage. It seems painless, and it's hard to think that damage limits your behavior.

"Then I guess it means I still have the LP. If it's a multi-stage hit, I think it's already done a lot of damage."

Although not terrifying as an enemy, the number of LPs is staggering.

But the method of attack that seems to work is already cracked, and all you have to do is scatter magic while avoiding throwing stones. Though it should also be remembered that there will be some degree of inhibition of recovery in between.

It would have been more troublesome if Rae had limited his opponent's means of attack to throwing stones in order to be able to stay stagnant at all times, making it easier this way, but fighting on the ground. In this size, enemies have difficulty avoiding even normal physical attacks, such as trampling.

The movement doesn't look so fast, but that's because Rare is fighting at a distance. Looking normal in that size means nothing more than moving dozens of times faster than a human being.

If they can't fly, they'll have to be stuck in some sort of jam to attack unilaterally, or they'll have to train themselves quite a bit before they can fight.

Then it took a while, but finally the time came for the big golem to kneel.

Even if there is no movement restriction due to pain due to lack of sensation, you cannot get up if you take enough damage without putting force on your limbs.

"I could have tried the magic of other attributes if I could spare it, but it doesn't do any damage to my face. Well, if you can handle it with ice, that's fine."

The Big Golem is not dead yet. I don't know if I'm alive in the first place, but LP is not completely zero. You can also tell from the fact that you are still pressing your arms and feet on your knees and trying to stand up.

"If you do this far, I wonder if you can say you gave in to me. Now give up and be mine." Servant ""

"Spiritual magic" cannot pass through the Golem system as it is. I also thought about using a soul stocked with "Soul Ties" to cast "Spiritual Magic", but this time, I prioritized confirming the ability to fight.

The usefulness of 'psychic magic' has already been demonstrated, but we do not know if it is enough about the combat power caused by other offensive magic. I want to avoid a situation where there is absolutely no way to exchange "spiritual magic" against the kind of character that defends it.

If you get another chance to earn experience and strengthen Rae herself, you should acquire more powerful combat and response skills and continue to try them sequentially.

Besides, if you're going to use "Spiritual Magic" on an abiotic monster, you've almost got King Hills' City intact, and I'd like to look for an item such as a soul tie stone and try it. To verify whether it really has the same effect as the Soul Tie. I was interested, but I thought there would be no immediate opportunity for Golem or undead to cast "mental magic", so I left it behind.

But when this is over, I won't have another chance like that for a while, and I see another future to forget.

Sensibly, I still felt a little willing to resist, but I was helpless in front of the "horn" bonus. Had it been in this state or slightly resistant, 'the servant' would not have passed in a state of plenty. Pretty high MND.

"What's the name of the race...... Elderrock Golem? So I wonder if the little ones around are rock golems."

It does not seem to be in a business relationship, and even if Elderrock Golems were a family member, there was no sense that the surrounding Golems were under control. Before that, the Elder Rock Golem didn't have a "mission."

Most of the smaller golems around are just rocks due to attacks by the White Devils and Kelleys.

I think I saw a write-up on the SNS saying that if it's a golem, the drop is not a corpse, but scattered all over the ground. I can't tell if this is a corpse or if I dropped a rock.

"Does Elder mean that the older Golem will naturally become huge? Looks like Marimo."

Maybe it's like stalactites or corals.

"The world tree was born by being used by elves... I wonder what this is. I wonder if the dwarf will be able to satisfy the rehabilitation requirements."

You can use the Sage's Stone to force him to regenerate, but it would be troublesome if the required experience was another four digits. I don't have it with me now.

"Let it be, but more later. We haven't got a revenue line yet, but we're just going to spend more."

King Hills and Lacorine seem to have players who are paralyzed and attacked, but not every day. It may not be free to prepare potions that ignore fatigue, and I can't help it. It should already be implemented, but it doesn't seem to lead to the discovery of items that create a quick safety area.

Dungeons will not make any money until a dungeon promotion project with transfer services begins in earnest, or quick-safety area creation items are released on billing items.

"Well, no. In the meantime, you stay here as you have always lived. I just want to keep the little golems around me under control too...... That we don't dispute one another without any particular reason? Then can I leave you alone?"

Looks like a surprisingly warm species. It seems because you don't need to prey on other organisms to live, and if you leave them alone, they get bigger, so you don't have to contend.

They don't usually do anything, they just dump it on the rocks and don't move.

It's like a demon that exists just to attack players who come to this mountain, but that can happen.

Not so much enemies, but since there are still many demons who do not obey, it cannot be said that they have completely dominated the volcanic zone. But if you left this large golem under your control, you could say for a moment that it accomplished its purpose.

"All right, let's go home. Make every effort to prepare for the opening of each area until the survey has been aggregated. Reeve to King Hills Capital, Lacorine, Tre? Let's say we decide on the boss of each area and let that boss run it."
