Chapter 309 Boss Monster: Giant Flesh Golem Has Spawned!

[Master, stop it.]

"Fine, I'd stick to my character role."

Evan rose his arms in mock surrender, before turning towards Greed who had squatted a few feet away and was poking the ground with his finger.

"What's up?"

"My treasure seeker is telling me that there's something valuable right underneath this spot."

The high demon's reply once again reminded the boy of the fact that the person he was travelling with was indeed the Sin of Greed, and so far, he had been doing his best to fulfil his greedy nature.

The spatial pouch filled with valuables that were scammed off another adventurer on his waist was proof of that.

"Well...that's good for you because we're going down to the basement of the temple.

That's where the Demonic Hand guys most likely are."

Evan twirled his sword around his finger as he continued speaking.

"Also, there's bound to be a Senior Member of the Demonic Hand here. And like all senior members, she happens to have a contracted demon with her."

"She?"

"Hmm? Yeah.

The Demonic Hand member responsible for the flesh golem is a female elf. Her name is-!"

The boy could not continue his statement as he noticed that his feet were trembling. Or rather, the ground underneath his feet began trembling.

"...seems that we're a bit too late.

Oh well, we'd go with Plan B.

But first, let's back away from this pla-."

**BOOOOMMM!!!!!

His words were interrupted by a loud explosion that crumbled what was left of the temple in front of them and turned it to dust.

All three of them backed away instantly to avoid getting hit by the rocks and other debris flying around, with Eliza momentarily stiffening as she felt a strong aura of 'death' permeate through the entire area.

"What the fuck is that?!"

Although she could not see it, her affinity for magic and mystic arts was on the opposite end of the spectrum, so she understood just how strong the creature emerging from the ground was, and how much more terrifying it would be if it was allowed to gain a stronger death aura.

Evan and Greed weren't as sensitive to death aura as she was, but they could also feel the strong aura of death flowing out of the rotten arm whose silhouette they could see in the cloud of dust.

'In the game, it was a level 200 upon its creation, and taking advantage of the Eighth Finger's trap that held back the Duke, it had enough time to go around and wreak Havoc in multiple counties, devouring multiple grandmasters and eventually becoming 200 levels higher by the time the Duke finally managed to escape the Eighth Finger's trap.

However, Vazgan who was at full power and the flesh golem had already wreaked havoc across more than half of the Duchy.

This time, the attack is more than three months earlier so the Eighth finger likely hasn't succeeded in creating that trap and Vazgan should not be as strong as he was in the game.

As such, I thought this one would be weaker by default, but I didn't expect that they'd instead pour more effort into this part of their operation.

I guess I'm going to have to revaluate Vazgan too.'

Appraising the creature in front of him, Evan wondered just how many innocent people had died for it to be born as strong as it currently was.

"Guys, we're still going with Plan B, but we might have to take things a bit more seriously.

That thing is 50 levels higher than I had expected."

Evan spoke with all seriousness, with his expression narrowing as he sensed multiple other presences besides the creature that was emerging from the ground.

"Is an entire unit of the Demonic Hand's eighth division here?"

While Evan was questioning no one in particular, something was rising from the cloud of dust and smoke in front of them.

The amalgamation of corpses in front of them rose to a height that Evan wondered if the giants from the myths were even that big.

"GUOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

In front of the eyes of the group, a 25-metre-tall giant was roaring loudly.

"Boss monster: Giant Flesh Golem has spawned!"

Evan screamed out the line said in the game when the flesh golem spawned, only for his eyes to widen in shock as he remembered what the creature's first attack usually was.

"Shit! Fall back!!!"

Eliza and Greed didn't need to be told as the gigantic arm that was slowly descending was enough for them to infer what was about to happen.

**BOOOOOMM!!!!

A loud explosion rang out as the flesh golem's huge arm slammed down on the ground, sending tremors through the earth that spread as far as five hundred metres away.

At the same time, the shockwaves annihilated every building that was within that range, turning them into chunks of rock and dust.

"GUOOOOO!!!"

The creature let out another weird roar, turning around right after as it began taking slow but steady steps towards the opposite direction from where Evan and co were.

"Hey, Evan."

"Yes, dear?"

"...isn't that the direction of the town we're supposed to go to next?"

".... remember when I said we're going with plan B?"

Eliza activated the radiant codex, letting it float in the air as she turned to Evan and spoke with a narrowed gaze.

"If we don't take out whatever demonic hand members are here quickly, then thousands of people are going to die to that creature.

You, yourself said that town shouldn't have anything higher than C rank after all."

"Don't worry, Liz."

Evan generated a gust of wind on his palm as he spoke, clearing up all the dust and smoke around them as he gazed at the woman coming out of the hole in the ground the flesh golem made and continued.

"If there aren't any unexpected variables, we should be capable enough to take out both the golem and its creators, without having a single casualty come to the people of that town.

p1ease visi(t) n0ve1b(in).ne)t

We're that powerful, after all.

Besides, the golem may be high-level, but it's slow as fuck. Guess, they had to sacrifice other aspects to increase its raw power."
