Chapter 183: Tower of sunrise's underground's fourth floor's boss battle 2

The safe zone rock had been destroyed.

I-, It's fine, I still have my hands.

First, I need to deal with its【Stone floor fling attack】.

I'll try to counter-attack with a long-ranged attack whilst dodging it.

The first try,【Electric shock】.

After hitting the enemy, there was a sensation of electricity flowing into the ground from the body of the Golem but the Golem's HP almost hadn't decreased.

And then, I dodged the【right straight】and slashed at it as a counter.

「Ah, I've forgot to imbue magic power into the weapon!

It's because I was panicking......」

The second try,【Water magic】.

I don't know why but the water vapor in the air can't be easily gathered.

Because it takes too much time to attack, it's rejected.

I've also rejected the【Ice magic】for the same reason.

When the【right straight】came again, I slashed at it with the sword of trial imbued with magic power.

*Slash!*

Oh, a slash with a pleasant feeling.

It seems to have given around 3 times damage than normal.

The third try,【Wind blade】.

The attack hit but it was only able to give about half of the normal attack's damage.

I need to consider the other ones, huh.

The Golem entered the stance of【omnidirectional stone pellets】.

I gave up on attacking this time and focused on defense.

I've placed both of my hands on the floor and tried to transform it with【Soil control】, the strategy is to create a wall.

However, the floor......

didn't budge.

「Why!!?」

The floor here is probably under the control of the Golem.

After all, that fellow's【Earth magic】's level is higher than mine.

「This is bad!」

I desperately looked for a safe zone.

And then, it mercilessly shot the【omnidirectional stone pellets】.......

「It was dangerous......」

I was able to escape into the safe zone in the nick of time.

Where is it located?

It was a place which had been in my view all this time. I wonder why I didn't notice?

It's just that I panicked.

It's behind the central『pillar』.

If it's this『pillar』, it will surely not be destroyed.

It will not be destroyed, right?

I was relieved to find a proper safe zone, I took out sweets from the inventory and restored my MP.

「Alright, let's counterattack!」

I dodged the【right straight】and slashed at it as a counter.

I moved toward its back with【Teleportation】when it used the【Stone floor fling attack】and slashed at its back when it had finished throwing.

Once it entered the preparation of【omnidirectional stone pellets】, I slashed at its defenseless spot.

At the end of it all, I slashed at it with the sword of trial imbued with all my magic power.

And then, once the【omnidirectional stone pellets】starts, I will take a short break behind the central pillar.

「It's no good when I was panicking at first but it's quite an easy victory.

I won't be afraid of anything anymore!」

However, it was then when the Golem's HP had been shaved off by 1/4.

The Golem began to stomp its foot on the ground causing a frightful tremor.

And then, the Golem attacked as its whole body became bright red.

Its speed becomes faster!

Its【right straight】becomes【one-two punch】!

However, I've dodged it somehow and made a counter.

*Slash!*

Huh? Is the Golem's body somewhat a little soft?

Does its speed rose while its defense dropped when it entered rage mode?

The【Stone floor fling attack】has thrown a total of two rocks with its right and left hand having one each.

However, there has been no problem since I've only moved behind it with【Teleportation】.

Since it entered the preparation of【omnidirectional stone pellets】, I kept on slashing at it.

*Slash slash* slashing at it felt good.

Then, the Golem began to shook in the middle of its preparation of the【omnidirectional stone pellets】.

Hm?

Is a different attack going to come again!?

When I took some distance and observed it......

the golem's body began to collapse with *crumble crumble*.

What on earth has happened!?

『Level went up to 49.

【Earth magic】is now level 5.』

「Ee!?」

Ah,so I've defeated it!!

「Yay!! I've defeated it!!

But why did my【Earth magic】level up??」

To my soliloquy, someone answered.

『I'll explain that.』

「W-, Who is it!!?」

Then, a small girl of around 30 cm appeared from the Golem's wreckage.

「Spirit...... huh?」

「Oh, that's right. I'm the『Earth spirit』.」

That fellow is a ponytail girl that gives off an impression of a construction worker.

Or rather, this fellow is an orekko[1], huh.

「But I haven't used the summoning magic!?」

「This is a special case.」

When the『Earth spirit』said so, it kissed me on my forehead.

『【Earth magic】is now level 6.』

「Eee~~~!!?」

「With this, the contract has been established.」

「What's going on!!?」

「Because I helped out the Golem from earlier.

In other words, it has been deemed as having the ability to win in the fight of spirit contract.」

「I see......」

「Well then, please take care of me from now on, 'kay!」

When the『Earth spirit』said so, it entered my body.

「Are you serious!?」

***

I've freaked out by the sudden appearance of the『Earth spirit』but―

my whole body has been covered with wounds from the battle a little while ago.

I'll quickly go back after checking the Golem's loot.

When I removed the rock which formed the Golem, there was a magic stone.

┌─＜Appraisal＞────

│【Magic stone of earth】

│It makes the surrounding land fertile

│and accelerates the growth of the plants.

│The effect is enhanced when loaded with magic power

│Rarity: ★★★★★

└─────────

Maximum rarity!?

Isn't this amazing!!?

When I stared at the magic stone―

*Rattle rattle!*

I've heard a sound of something from behind.

There's still something?

Looking back, a stone door appears in the central pillar and opens with *creak creak*.

When I approach and peek inside―

the inside of the pillar has become hallow and there's a spiral staircase towards the top.

「Good. I can go to the top with this.」

When I looked around, the【Spatial Combat Protective Barrier】had also been released.

Fatigue came on suddenly from feeling relieved of finding the stairs, I used【teleportation】where Elena and the others are waiting and returned to the inn.
