Chapter 236

"What is the plan?" Darya asked. "It looks like a few of my spells will be less effective here."

"You are right..." Leon rubbed his chin. "That thing can counter our spells, but it can't counter both of our spells... we just have to use different spells at the same time."

"Mmm? Ah... you want to attack with a certain element, and when the creature tries to absorb that element, we will use others to cause even more damage." Darya said.

"You understand my point. You should try to put the boss in a sphere of water and then freeze it." Leon frowned. "The boss will probably try to melt off, absorbing the ice. It doesn't matter, either way. I will use thunder attacks to counter and stop the creature."

"What are we going to do if that thing decides to absorb your thunder attacks?" Darya asked.

"We will change and attack him with earth and magma and keep doing that until we kill it," Leon explained. "In the end, it's metallic, and magma parts will be useless against our combination of attacks."

"I see..." Darya nodded.

Before the fight, Leon had to make some preparations. In an ordinary battle against a tough opponent, the moment that would cause Leon's defeat was the moment he runs out of mana. Although it wasn't cheap, there was a way to avoid that. He just had to keep a huge container of mana potions nearby. The moment his mana decreased, he only has to touch the liquid, and he would recover his mana. Instead of transporting something like that, it was better to have someone keeping throwing mana potions at him, but there wasn't. Leon tried to make some skeletons do that, but the stupid things could only obey commands like attack, defend, move and stop.

It was weird, but with the help of some steel lines, Leon knitted a hose, using the leather of the three-eyed rats. After creating two containers of steel and filling them with the liquid of mana potions, Leon opened a hole, put the hose and connected the magic liquid to their backs… every time they use their mana, their backs would absorb the liquid.

"I always imagine myself fighting against monsters… but not like this." Darya frowned while looking around and seen the disgusting rat leather almost glued to her back.

"Don't complain… I don't like to fight like this either." Leon massaged his eyebrows.

It was a plan that would only work against a monster. A smart opponent would quickly find a way and destroy Leon's supply of mana. Anyway, it was the best way Leon could think of to fight against a monster, keeping himself alive, without having to stop attacking.

Leon didn't want to use that method for longer than the necessary, so he and Darya walked toward the boss. When the creature saw them, it attacked shooting Magma Arrows, Ice Arrows, Steel Arrows. But Leon and Darya's Mana Shield blocked the attack, even though they lost the chance to cause a lot of damage with a preemptive strike, that didn't bother them. Without a care in the world, they shot several magic projectiles.

Mystical Golem

Health: 10000/10000

Mana: 15000/15000

Stamina: 5000/5000

Active Skills: Magma Arrow Lv 60, Ice Arrow Lv 60, Steel Arrow Lv 60, Thunder Arrow Lv 60

Passive Skills: Thunder Absorption Lv 100, Ice Absorption Lv 100, Magma Absorption Lv 100

As Leon had expected, the creature moved its body parts to absorb those attacks, but when it tried to absorb a massive layer of water that Darya created and shot, it got electrocuted when Leon shot used lightning.

The creature got caught off guard, so Leon and Darya had a lot of time to increase the water and strengthen the electric discharge. The creature suffered a lot of damage but eventually recovered itself because its left leg, which was made of thunder, decreased the power of their attacks. The creature created a layer of thunder around its body to nullify all damage, but that had been a bad move.

Darya shot several Earth Arrows, and Leon hit the creature with Magma Spears. It was an incredible feeling using his most powerful spell without caring about the cost, but soon Leon stopped because the creature covered its body with magma this time.

"It is powerful... but it is just a dumb monster, in the end." Leon murmured.

Leon and Darya attacked using ice magic and after a few seconds managed to cool down the magma... after that, the same pattern repeated itself a few times. Although the Mystical Golem was far stronger than that weird robot, the creature didn't pose a threat against Leon and Darya. The battle ended after ten minutes, and both of them still had some mana liquid that could be used to restore their mana. Before giving the final blow, Leon quickly cast a thick layer of ice around the creature, and when the beast managed to free itself using its right arm covered in magma, Leon used Seal and put the creature's spirit inside the replica of a magic staff.

Steel Staff VIII

It grants you the skill Magma Arrow Lv 50, Ice Arrow Lv 50, Steel Arrow Lv 50, Thunder Arrow Lv 50. Intelligence + 60, Mentality + 40.

It was the best weapon Leon had, but he regretted creating a staff... if he had created a shield, he probably would have obtained the skills to absorb the elemental attacks of the ordinary elemental golems.

"This was easier than I thought it would be..." Darya frowned. "My skills also leveled up like crazy... your plans are weird but certainly efficient."

"Don't thank me yet, I want the coins you obtained," Leon said. "It is payment for the mana potions you consumed."

In the end, Leon didn't feel like celebrating because he spent one million coins and only obtained ten thousand from defeating that boss. Anyway, it was time to use the remaining mana to kill the golems that would soon begin to spawn.
