~~~~

The golem's entire arm exploded, and its previously sturdy body collapsed. Approaching the monster's corpse, I quickly collected the loot and continued to move further into the cave.

The dimly lit tunnel was playing with my nerves. Every time a pebble fell and made a noise, a shiver ran down my spine, I was afraid of a sneak attack. Losing 2 Lv. would be a major setback to my plans. I don't have enough time to fail, I bet there are already players near the city of Culg.

Bang...

-1 HP

A small pebble fell on my head. I scratched my aching forehead and lowered my body to examine the fallen pebble. Its surface was hard, but it looked like a normal rock. I picked up the stone and placed it in the inventory.

< LOOT >

1️⃣ Unrefined Obsidian Ore x1

A strange feeling of dread came over me. Obsidian ores don't usually fall from the ceiling. I clenched my fists and lifted my gaze from the ground, and what greeted me was a golem with dark spots all over its body.

The golem somehow managed to cling to the ceiling. My eyes widened and I immediately took a dozen steps back to avoid the descent of the obsidian golem.

Boom...

The golem's landing sent up a huge cloud of dust. The golem's large body slowly emerged from the cloud, slowly revealing its oppressive features. His body was composed of various ores and stones. Unknowingly, money symbols appeared in my black eyes.

When I checked the golem's stats, I found that it had almost no MDEF. My spells should be able to do a lot of damage. It's a shame that < Demonic Flame > can't burn the golems, otherwise I'd turn this cave into a factory.

I cast a Shadow Blast and let the Shadow Energy flow through my arm and appear in the form of an orb in my palm. Later in the game I should be able to cast spells elsewhere and not on my palm, so I could hold my staff with both hands.

Imagine being able to create spells above your head and fire them all the time. That would look pretty darn cool.

With so much anticipation, I didn't even notice how my Shadow Blast hit the golem.

- 425 Magical Damage!

The annoying thing about the golems was that they'd no feelings or other senses. My two guaranteed status effects < Blindness > < Fear > couldn't be inflicted because of these strange properties.

I didn't know how the golems knew my location without any senses, but I think it's something to do with the Earth Manipulation ability they possess. They probably feel my weight on the ground and recognize my location.

I jumped backwards and dodged several rocks that were thrown at me. As I fired another Shadow Blast, I clicked my tongue and visibly frowned. The golem's stupidity was starting to get on my nerves. He just ran at me without even trying to dodge my spells. His strange attack pattern made it hard for me to concentrate when I knew that a crazy bull was constantly trying to smash me.

- 846 Critical Damage!

My shadow projectile hit the monster's chest, leaving a huge dent in its body. Half of the HP of the golem was gone...

Soon after, the golem fell over without even scratching me. For some reason, it didn't even try to create a dirt wave like the iron golem did.

" 2 down, 48 to go "

I muttered under my nose as I walked deeper into the cave.

~~~~

At the entrance to the cave, a massacre was taking place. All the previously peaceful demon workers were now holding some kind of weapon. The previously green forest was covered with snow, and ice was scattered randomly over the area.

A huge beast hovered above the ground, breathing ice at the little demons who were desperately trying to escape the attack.

Unfortunately, the breath was too fast for anyone to escape.

Whoosh...

The entire battlefield was destroyed by a single breath. All the demons nearby were killed on the spot or frozen to ice. The only demon left standing was the leader of the group. Looking around, he found that most of his comrades were dead. He raised his tired eyes, eyed the beast, and made a run toward the cave entrance.

Of course, the beast wasn't so generous to let him go. A breath as cold as ice followed close on the demon's heels. Everything in the breath's path was demolished, and previously frozen statues were shattered.

Blood stained the pure and white snow.

Whoosh...

The fleeing demon's body turned to ice. When the creature saw that everyone in the vicinity was frozen, it plummeted from the sky and landed with a loud thud.

The beast looked around, approached the frozen statues and began to slowly devour them, one by one.
