Chapter 91: Earth Golem, II

Luckily the golem didn't get any bigger than it already was. Its level didn't rise either. Instead, the lava inside of it became active. The once ugly obsidian cracks, were bright orange.

The bright orange and black made it look majestic. It look like something that sprung up out of a painting, that's how beautiful he thought it was.

Which made Kiro wish he could tame it. The obsidian rock and lava made it irresistible to look at. It was like looking at the sunrise at night, it was hard to explain the kind of situation it was for him. It was just alluring for him.

But he knew he couldn't tame this, in Asgard, there were monsters, then there were beasts. This thing in front of them was a monster, something the game made to be slayed. He wondered if his taming could be strong enough one day, to tame monsters.

Ding!

[It's a possibility...]

"How?" He was used to the system reading his mind so he didn't freak out much. He just wanted to know how to go about taming monsters.

[...]

The system, like always, didn't give him answers head on. He felt frustrated but at the same time understood that it was probably just it's code.

"Well, Hubris, we have to work together here."

They waited with bated breath, it felt like eternity. Kiro couldn't stop the fear welling up inside of him. No matter what it was, the thing in front of him looked like a titan of sorts. The ones from stories of gods.

Of course he'd never seen one, but the fear he felt at that moment told him this was something that birthed even gods.

With every punch, came a thunderous roar. He wanted to destroy it's torso completely. It was working too, with each of his punches, he left dents and hot orange liquid trickled out of wherever place his fist found.

It didn't take it another second and it was out of its trance, it swatted Kiro to the side his body crashed on the other side of the mountain. He was tired of being thrown around like he was nothing, for a moment he considered not getting up at all.

"Sh*t, Hubris use affliction." He shouted activating blink and whirlwind.

"I'm trying, it's not, working!" He yelled back.

He appeared in front of the golem with his palm ready to strike, it dodged and he missed it by an inch. It threw a lava coated punch, it was the heaviest thing he'd ever received from this game. His insides were burning.

It's punches could transfer the heat from its fists to whatever it was punching. Causing a slow but progressive corrosion on the inside.

Another punch followed it, and rendered his arm useless. Hubris pounced on it with his maw wide open, he landed on its shoulder and refused to let go no matter what.

Kiro quickly drank a restorative potion from the leftovers Hiro made for Hubris. His insides and arm were restored.

He activated lightning once more, this time the lightning he wanted showed itself. It looked like lightning rain coursing through his fingers, he condensed it into a ball that hid his palm entirely.

Hubris was still attached to the golem's shoulder. This would be a perfect time to sneak an attack. He blinked in front of them, and drove his lightning palm through its chest.

It was blasted into smithereens, not before taking his whole arm with it. Kiro fell on his behind taking a deep breath.

"This--mountain--is--dangerous."
