Chapter 44 Elite Wild Boar

It was early in the morning.

Standing among the trees, facing the open plains, Nathan Gardner, in his golem body, noticed a Wild Boar about 3 meters high sleeping comfortably among the wild grass that could not cover its enormous body.

Golem Nathan stepped out slowly from behind the trees and walked towards the monster, which opened its eyes lazily when it sensed something approaching. Its two big red eyes glared fiercely at the brave but foolish soul that dared to disturb its sleep.

Nathan stopped walking as a streak of silver light appeared nearby. A transparent floating girl with blonde hair appeared there.

"Ta-da... Hi Master Nathan."

"Hi, Luna." Nathan greeted her arrival.

Luna answered Nathan's greeting with a smile.

"Long time no see." He continued.

"Will today be the last day of this dungeon journey, Master?" She asked with a smile.

"As per what we had discussed three days ago. Yes, today I will finish this dungeon boss. And hopefully, the other self-appointed boss or bosses?" Nathan raised his golem hand, pointing at the huge Wild Boar, which raised its body into a standing position.

"What have I missed these three days, Master?" Luna continued.

For the last three days, Luna did not appear before Nathan because she wanted to feel the sensation of surprise as she watched Nathan overcome his massive challenges using his own personal brand of strategies and tactics."Isn't it easy for you to check the updates I had made in my system, Luna? There are new skills there."

Luna floated around and was now right in front of the golem. "Ehem… Sure, yes, but I can limit my access rights and only know what I want to know, Master. And, of course, I want to feel the thrill and excitement when you act to beat your opponents today." She answered cheerfully.

"Aren't you just an AI, Luna? How important is a surprise to you? Do you have emotions like a living being?" Nathan continued.

Luna frowned and puffed her cheeks, "Master Nathan, do you think I'm just an ordinary AI? Man-made AI? No, no, no, no…. Even though I call myself an AI, I have a more complete structure and components than that. And, sure….. I have emotions too. Do you think my worries when you were dying in the cave a couple of days ago were fake?" She closed with a light chuckle.

"Then why not simply refer to yourself as a spirit, rather than an AI? You even have a physical body in the crescent moon dimension, Luna. I think there are too many things I don't know here. Including the person who created you, who doesn't seem like a random person. Was it my mother who created you, assuming she's a dragon and has the blessing of greed as well? Or maybe someone with similar abilities. I don't know. I hope there will come a time when I uncover all those mysteries in my journey."

Luna just smiled at his words.

Nathan drew his sword and gripped it tightly. The 3-meter-high monster boar standing not far in front of him at that moment was also preparing to attack him.

He looked up at the sky and saw a bird flying in circles.

"Zander really accepted my 'invitation'." He whispered softly.

"You didn't say something outrageous to make him angry, did you, Master Nathan?"

"I just booed and said he was weak. I don't know why it worked. I'm not very good at provoking people." He replied with a chuckle in his mind.

"If only I had access to my skills inside this golem's body.

"Just look at how beautiful the stat array I have. And in the last few days, I've also raised my level up to 39. I'm getting closer to my target. I will not stop here."

Nathan tightened all the muscles in his body, even though it was a sensation he could only imagine. Inside the golem's body, its structure consisted of only rocks and trees.

[Elite Wild Boar Lv. 45]

"By using this golem's body, I can only use the speed enhancing skill to dodge attacks or get closer to my opponent. However, I've gotten quite used to it after fighting for a few days using this golem. Even though the opponent I'm facing this time has a much higher level than me and also a fighting potential that I can't measure, I will try my best. This challenge is nothing compared to what I have to face after this. Let's Go!"

Golem Nathan sped up quickly, dashing toward the wild boar in the distance.

Luna floated and shot into the air, trying to watch what was going to happen from a distance.

At the same time, too, someone emerged from behind the trees. It was a tall man they recognized as Zander. Not long after, Marco caught up and stopped near him.

Nathan knew the two of them were coming, but he had other things to worry about. The Dungeon Boss was in front of him.

"Let's do it."

The huge Wild Boar dashed toward Him. Its enormous body made the ground tremble as its massive hooves slammed down to the ground heavily.

"ENHANCE SPEED!!!"

Nathan shot to the side just as he was about to hit the gigantic monster. With a quick maneuver, he turned around and slammed the sword in his hand into the monster. A slight wound was created, but the monster continued running, seemingly without any negative effects, even after eating the sword attack.

Nathan ran around, trying to grab the back of the monster. But the monster spun quickly, moved wildly, and slammed its body toward Golem Nathan.

Nathan didn't have time to dodge, and his body was thrown into the air.

He hit the ground and tried to get up quickly when the monster rushed towards him.

At that moment, the monster seemed to move faster, and Golem Nathan's body became too heavy to move.

[Self Mental Healing Activated]

"Master Nathan, that monster gives off an aura to lower your courage!!!" Luna shouted from afar.

Nathan tried to move with a powerful will.

"ENHANCE SPEED!!!"

His body was thrown to the side just before getting hit by the monster.

[Healing process 100%]

"Truly a very useful skill."

Nathan was raised again, immediately in a ready position. He was running away.

"ENHANCE SPEED."

He ran in circles, trying to avoid coming face-to-face with the gigantic monster.

"ENHANCE SPEED."

Nathan threw his sword and made a deep stab in the boar's side.

The monster swiftly slammed its body to the side, sending Golem Nathan flying because of its power.

The monster ran, trying to catch up to the Golem's body. Its two enormous feet hit the ground hard, and the next hit nearly crushed Golem Nathan's body.

Nathan managed to stick his sword right at the foot of the Monster.

However, instead of heavily damaging the bore, it was he who got damaged as most of his golem's body crumbled helplessly on the ground.

The Golem rolled to the side as the nearby plants and rocks moved wildly toward and wrapped around it.

"Enhance Speed!"

Nathan shot to the side, slamming his body against the Wild boar. The monster lost its balance and fell to the side.

Nathan grabbed the sword stuck in the monster's foot.

Nathan ran away from the monster. He needed enough space to recover his golem body. At that moment, he noticed the monster was starting to lose focus. It didn't look as agile and wild as before.

"The effect of this sword is really very helpful in a situation like this."

Watching from a distance, Luna looked tense and nodded at Nathan's words.

The sword in Golem Nathan's hand instantly emitted a blazing red glow. Flames exploded from the sword, blazing so large that they nearly devoured the golem.

"Master Nathan?"

Nathan's golem sped up, approached the monster, and stabbed his blazing sword at it.

A tremendous explosion occurred, an ear-splitting explosion that seemed to awaken the silent space of the forest.

Luna flew over to Nathan and curiously checked the skill he had just used.

[Remote Triggering Flame Blast Tier 1 Lv. 5]

[Build up a flame elemental energy blast attack, and imbue them into a sword-type weapon. The longer the charging, the stronger the damage.

Interruption during charging may cause the loss of charged power.

The user can trigger the release from a distance.

The damage will be 200% of the magic attack.]

[Lvl 5: Charged up to 100% of the user's total Mana.]

Luna smiled at the information about the skill Nathan had just used. The skill allows him to charge all of his mana into the weapon he uses, and he can also trigger a blast of energy from a distance.

Luna floated close to the golem sprawled on the ground, with the stone body wrapped in flames scorching the tree roots and vines around it.

"Master Nathan, are you all right?"

[You've killed Elite Wild Boar Lv. 45]

[You received 2,207 experience]

[Level Up]

[You received 6 stat points]

[You received 100 skill points]

[You have cleared the dungeon. The exit portal will soon open for you.]

[You received 700 experience]

[Level: Unranked Lv. 40]

[Exp: 511/4,300]

"I made it?"

"Yes, Master. You did it! You beat the dungeon boss level 45 alone!" Luna answered enthusiastically.

It took Nathan some time to regain control of the adrenaline he was feeling from the battle he had just fought until he realized something.

Zander slowly walked towards the golem.

His tall body looked down at the half-destroyed golem.

"Don't tell me you ran out of strength after fighting this weak monster? Was the time I gave you not enough to make you become stronger? Do you want me to crush you easily without giving me the slightest bit of resistance?"

A light clapping sound was heard not far from where Zander was standing. The man lifted his face, facing the direction of the sound.

Standing not far from him, a young man with white hair clapped his hands casually.

"To think that you actually underestimated my strength, Zander?" The boy, none other than Nathan, stared at Zander with narrowed eyes and a faint smile.

Nathan stood up with his real body. Even though he had just spent his energy fighting the dungeon boss, he looked calm.

"So you got the balls to really face me directly? Let's see how long you can survive the torture I'm about to give you, Kid." Zander answered lightly.
