Chapter 92: Half-Naked Pervert and His Furry Entourage in Golem Paradise Part 2
「Since we are already here, we might conduct so actual investigation, get a feel of the place.」
「I see, so that’s how it is.」
「For example, we can investigate where all those golems are coming from, so that we don’t get caught off-guard in the future. Like the ones over there. See? They are different from the other ones.」
「I see, I see.」
「First things first, golems might not be the most intelligent of monsters, but they are rather sturdy and resilient. And since they are active all over the place, it should be safe to assu that they remained operational since the ti of the Gods themselves.」
「That’s to be expected.」
「Second of all, the materials that create this whole place…… Golems…… The place where they were created.」
「Seems like a whole lot of things to investigate all at once, but……?」
Emul shouts while giving Magic Edge a rest and then brandishing his own sword that he was carrying. The golem he was currently fighting was round in shape and had short, potato-like legs. This golem was called “Ball Golem” and currently Emul was doing his best to cap its knees with his sword.
「If it’s sothing important, then please tell that first!」
「I keep telling you! Magic makes no difference on those guys!」
「You sure it’s not a problem of your attitude not the working!?」
「Pyaaaahhhh!? Is that the reinforcents I see!?」
Eventually Emul managed to knock the golem to the ground, and it started to roll down the hall, crushing into another golem which resulted in a small explosion. The flas were still lingering around when we got to that spot.
「Around eight of them, I do believe.」
「Sorry to disappoint you, but there’s actually nine of them.」
「Just how many are there, those bastards!」
The ones that arrived managed to avoid the ball one and the flas that were left after it. They got closer and closer with their mouths wide open…… could it be that they carried cannons or guns inside their mouths?
Sh*t, even though their moves were still clumsy, the AI controlling those golems was pretty clever.
Seeing the approaching golems and understanding that even the level ninety NPCs might have a problem with taking them on all at once, I begin to look around, looking for a possible escape route.
「…… Alright, I can see the path! Break, grab onto !」
「Right!」
Once Break jumped on my back, I cannonballed straight ahead.
Surely, the number of golems was a serious threat, but when I do this, they would have a hard ti picking us off one by one.
I leave the literal “carpet bombing” to Emul and Aramis, while I’m looking for the holes from which the golems were erging. Sure enough they were there, scattered here and there on the ground.
「Let’s see, what was it that one of those guys carried with him? …… Ah, perfect, it looks to be C4. Just what we need. Now, how do you detonate this thing? Magic or maybe there’s so kind of fuze?」
C4 is a clay-based explosive that is most common in various kinds of military gas. And although those golems weren’t exactly military-like, it was close enough for .
Here’s where things get a little bit complicated. If they were equipped with that, they could most likely self-destruct. And that fact would make fighting them that much harder, not to ntion collecting any kind of loot. Especially since their AI was so clever.
A simple enough monster that got elevated to the rank of problematic thanks to its AI, just great.
「It’s not only levels…… It’s like they are able to assess the combat threat of every enemy and focus on the ones that might be the most problematic.」
Using that knowledge I activate Moon Jump and start to change my location, using fallen golems as stepping stones and utilizing the fact that other golems targeted Emul and Aramis the most, leaving Break and I alone. Like that we should be safe from their self-destruction move as well.
Together with Break we were aiming to get closer to one of the golems that seed to be more or less intact.
「I’m counting on you, Striker!」
「When it cos down to Golem’s weak points…… That would be their core, of course! Material Destroy!」
I could have attacked the Golem just fine, but since Break has better stats than and has so bonuses to attack power, it would be possible for her to take this thing down with one blow. Hopefully.
There should be a reactor sowhere right at the center of the golem’s body. Now whether it was the sa old nuclear reactor from my world or so crazy advanced piece of tech created by the gods, the principle should be mostly the sa.
The sledgehamr manages to make a clean strike right to the golem’s jaw, managing to make it all loose and tattered, just like the one that Humming Rich had.
「Eat this, sucker! Critical hit!」
「……? Oh sh*t! Everyone! Run like you an it!」
「Oriouah!?」
Once its head shattered to pieces, the golem’s whole body began to shake and tremble.
Having a really bad feeling about that whole shaking and trembling I took Break by the neck and ducked behind one of the inactive golems, using it as a blast shield.
Once the explosion occurred, Emul and Aramis were both blasted away.
「Well, when the golems carry around explosive inside their bodies, its nothing strange that they can self-destruct themselves, right?」
「Hey, look. Looks like it dropped sothing.」
「Hmm?」
It looks like sothing managed to survive that explosion. Once the flas had settled I managed to catch it in my hands. It looks like an item of so sort.
It looked like a really simplified clay figure…….
「It’s a Haniwa?」
「What’s with that idiotic na?」
「But don’t you think it’s kind of cute?」
Let’s have a little looksee at the item description in inventory.
Shrapnel Grenade
A small, portable explosive that can be rarely dropped from iron golems.
The grenade explodes on impact, causing the shrapnels to penetrate the target, causing additional bleeding damage and wounds.
Cos in variations that create a pillar of fire upon impact.
「A fucking grenade…..」
Now even a single mistake could prove to be fatal.
