Volume 1
Chapter 36
I Encountered
Giant Golems
Translator : PolterGlast
"Oh, I'm
out."
I had somehow gotten
out of the maze.
The golem, which had
been swinging its arms at me, had suddenly stopped moving as though it had run
out of batteries after countless rounds of attacks and defenses.
Towards the end of the
battle, I was completely on the back foot, being destroyed as soon as I
regenerated.
But then, suddenly,
the golem's arms fell to the floor, the light from its gem disappeared, and it
stopped moving. ...It was fun.
I'm satisfied that I
defeated such a strong enemy, and I feel a sense of superiority.
But somehow, I feel
something incomplete about it. As for the golem, it feels more like it lost due
to its own limitations rather than being defeated by my power.
I won, but somehow
it's unsatisfying.
So, I resumed
exploring the maze. Since the exit didn't open even after defeating the golem,
I smashed the wall that had blocked the entrance before the fight and returned
the way I came, and then went in the opposite direction.
Along the way, I
encountered many golems standing in large spaces, swinging their arms in the
air, challenging me to a fight, but I faced each one and in the end, the golems
all repeated the same ending.
It's fun while I'm
fighting, but the ending is...
With this in mind, I
walked down the long, long corridor.
This straight path is
incredibly long.
I can see a door-like
thing at the end. Since I can see it from here, it must be pretty big.
There are only two
lights near the door, and there are no lights in the corridor. It's like
walking through a big tunnel.
I walked forward
without hesitation and reached the door. As expected, it's really big. Maybe
ten meters?
I tried to push it
open.
It doesn't open.
"Huh?"
You've got to be
kidding me. There doesn't seem to be any kind of keyhole, so how do I open it?
There's no handle
either, so I can't pull it... huh?
Forget it, it's too
much trouble to think about. This is supposed to be a ruin, so it's probably
okay if I break it a little. No one will know if I don't say anything.
I pulled my elbow back
with all my might and then───thrust my fist out forcefully.
Boom!
The part where my fist
hit shattered, and the shock completely dislodged the door's hinges. The door
was literally blown away.
"Alright"
I proceeded inside.
Inside was a very
large space. I can't tell exactly how big it is because there are only lights
near the entrance and the door at the far end. But I can tell it's just wide.
And in the back of the
room───in front of the door
across me, there were two golems that could be considered gatekeepers. These
guys are huge.
Because the room is
dark, I can't say for sure how big they are, but even from what I can see for
sure, they must be at least twenty meters tall. There are two of them, this is
bad.
Their legs are
cylindrical───or rather, they're
probably made up of several cylinders combined. It's a pretty distorted
structure.
I can see something
glowing in their upper part. Judging from their location, I wonder if their
heads are glowing.
One of them is holding
a huge rod. Is there something attached to the tip? It's holding it with its
right hand, and the other one is holding... what is that? It has a cone-like
shape from the handle to the top... but because the handle is rod-shaped, it's not
a perfect cone... I can't explain it well.
Anyway... their size
is unexpected.
The light from one of
the golems' eyes shone especially brightly───and in an instant, the
golem holding the rod-like thing moved, clenched its left fist, which was not
holding anything, and swung it down at me from a kneeling position.
□□□
I regenerate a little
distance away from where I was killed.
It's definitely
advantageous to be big when it comes to attacking. I can lose my whole body in
one blow.
But at least I discovered
that the golems' fists don't have that annihilation membrane.
If the fists they use
for fighting don't have a membrane, then their bodies probably don't have one
either. Maybe it's just on their weapons?
Well, anyway, first───
Pew!!!!
Before I could attack,
one of the golems fired a beam of light from around its head. My body was
completely reduced to ashes without a trace.
Haha, how merciless.
My body began to
regenerate again.
This time, with my
fist───
Pew!
A laser was fired from
the other golem before I finished regenerating.
Pew!
It was fired again.
It's like they knew I
could regenerate.
I start regenerating
in front of the door, behind the golems.
The golems are still
firing lasers at the same spot and haven't noticed me.
And then my
regeneration is complete.
The corners of my
mouth naturally turned up as I clenched my fist and got ready.
Then, I stepped
forward and approached one of the huge golems───and thrust my fist
into the golem's calf.
The golem's leg
shattered into pieces.
But the golem didn't
fall down.
The other golem,
sensing my position, turned around and hit me with the back of its fist. The
impact crushed my body, and only a large amount of blood splattered.
Huh?
This is definitely
unexpected. The golem is still standing upright. It's as if it's being
supported by something invisible and intangible. Besides, the scattered debris
began to tremble, float, and return to its original shape.
It can regenerate too.
Moreover, it doesn't have any movement restrictions. I'm clearly at a
disadvantage. And I'm also outnumbered.
"………."
Good, let's do more.
