17-17. Giant Golem Battle




 We made our way towards the exit of the cave.

 My fear of the black knight from earlier hadn't woken up and I was walking with few words.

''That's right. Maybe that black knight from earlier, the giant golem, was defeated?

 I suddenly thought that, so I muttered.

''.........Indeed, it is. I'm sure that the giant golem is sitting near the exit, so I have to defeat it to get in and I can only assume that it was defeated.
So you don't want to fight?

 It would be lucky if they had been defeated.
 Surprisingly, it was probably lucky that that black knight was here.

 With that thought in mind, I walked towards the exit.

You're here...

 We found a giant golem near the exit.
 We don't know how, but that black knight apparently got into this cave without defeating the golem.

 We found a big, stupid, human-shaped rock.

 At first glance, I knew that thing was a giant golem.
 It's about the height of a three-story house.

Oh, that's a giant golem, isn't it...?
Yes.
That thing you can take down...
It's not as strong as the impression it gives from its size.
Is that so?

 I'm going to appraise it.

"Giant Golem, age 33, Lv.42/46.
 'Giant Monsters Made of Rock'

 Aside from the explanation that he still knows it when he sees it, his level is the highest of any demon I've ever seen.

''Raina. [Beastification (Beast Mode)].
"Unya~........do you need to use that thing after all? I don't like it because it's tiring, but...
What's [Beast Mode]?
It's a unique skill that can be used by beastmen. It transforms you into a beast and boosts your status for a certain amount of time. But when the effect wears off, the reaction will slow down the movement for a while and you won't be able to fight properly. You must defeat it while Lenya turns into a beastman.
How long is it?
Ten minutes or so. It should be okay.

 Can you do that? Ten minutes.
 Let's trust Meku with this one.

All right, let's go! Meow!

 Lenya yells out that loudly.
 Then, black fur sprouts from her entire body and she looks more like a slightly larger, pitch black tiger than a cat.

''Nyaaaaaaaaaa!''

 Raina charges at the giant golem. His voice is the same as before.

 Noticing Raina, the giant golem slowly stands up.

'Tetsuya. Can you see that red sphere around his chest?

 As Meku says this, I look at the giant golem's chest.
 There is indeed a red sphere.

I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it. I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
All right, I guess I should just aim for that red sphere.
No, that's not so. That red sphere is protected by an invisible ward that prevents the attacker from being able to get through so easily. So we'll attack his head first. The head of the golem has a function of controlling the movements of its entire body, and if you hit its head hard enough, it will go mad and release its warding. Therefore, the first thing we must do is to drop your meteorite on his head!
Okay.

 I try to drop a meteorite (meteo) on his head, wondering how he knows so much about this, but I can't.

 But I can't do it.
 It's because he's too big, and even though this cave has a wide ceiling, there isn't enough space to drop it.

I'm sorry, but he's too big for me to drop it.
Nanny?
What do I do?
Well yes. Then if I attack his leg and make him kneel, will I be able to drop him?

 I nodded, because I knew it would work then.

'Lenya! Attack his legs and bring him to his knees!
Okay.

 Raina responds.

 Spinning back around, Raina tried to attack the giant golem's legs.

 The giant golem stretched its arms out to the side, spun around in one motion, and swatted away the attacking Raina.

''Unya!''
Lenya!

 Seeing Raina being blown away by the attack, I yell out to myself.

'Lenya in that state can't be hit that way.

 As Mek said, Lenya stood up cheerfully.

'But you don't create gaps easily.
I'll draw them away for a while.

 Saying that, I stepped in front of the golem.
 Then I shoot the 【Flame Ball】 and attack the golem.

 The giant golem's gaze turns towards me.
 Raina, perhaps sensing my intentions, steps back a little.

 I shoot 【Flame Ball】 many times.

 It doesn't seem to do any damage, but she seems to be a little irritated.
 The enemy raises its legs and tries to stomp me out.

 And at that time, Raina charges in from behind the golem.
 I ran at full speed towards the leg that wasn't raised, and rushed forward with all my might.

 Gotu! I hear a noise.
 The golem loses its balance and starts to fall over, but will Raina be okay?
 He seemed to be quite fine. I avoided the fallen giant golem by running normally.

 Then I dropped the 【Meteorite (Meteor)】 magic on the fallen giant golem's head.

 Gashiaaaaan! A roaring sound of "I'm going to be able to use it.
 With the skill level raised by 1, the power has increased significantly.

 The giant golem that was hit on the head stops moving for a while.

''Now! Attack the sphere of the chest!

 I hit the 【Flame Ball】 to the Giant Golem, and then Lenya attacked the sphere with her sharp claws.
 Then the sphere cracks.

 At that moment, the giant golem rattled out and crumbled into just a big stoner.
