Chapter 84 High Risk, High Reward

"Go, hehe......"

The core of Lyme is both its driving force and its weakness, encased in rocks, mud, bones, etc.

Con'ou had already fought the Golem in Arth before.

"Traveling along the memory trail, is that Ed?" Conor said, glancing at Eder.

He first met Eder in a hidden dungeon, where he took the form of a bone and fought Conou.

"Definitely. ”

Ed nodded.

Once he chooses to accompany Conou, he will no longer be able to use the Bone Golem form.

Suppose this form requires a large amount of bones.

He couldn't just carry that many bones, and he never hunted where there were many.

"Have you ever fought with Shi Goba before?"

Cono stared at Grano.

"Yes. ”

"How is it?" asked Conou.

"They're strong. Stronger than you think. I couldn't pierce its armor and gave up halfway. ”

Grano had previously fought the Stone Golem and was recoiled by exhaustion. No matter what he tried, he couldn't pierce the stone.

That's how tough and strong it is.

"How strong is its attack?"

Conou asks questions repeatedly to get the information you need.

"It's sturdy, but it's also slow. ”

"Does it have any special abilities or skills?"

"Occasionally, it would throw stones at me. I'm not sure if it has other capabilities. ”

"Is there anything else you can warn us about, or do you need to tell us?" asked Conou.

"Nope. ”

Grano shook his head.

"I understand. Ed. "Conou called.

"Yes?"

"The Golem's weakness must be its core, right?"

Edel is proficient in golems because he used to be golems himself.

"Yes. At the heart is everything about the Golem. ”

"Okay. Obviously, the golem's defense is no joke, so give it your all. ”

Ed is a cursed knight!

He may cast a curse that halves the enemy's defenses and destroys the walls. Not only that, but he can also cast countless other curses that can also reduce the opponent's abilities.

Moreover, his Blood Knight set can also reduce the Golem's defense.

Therefore, Conou pinned all his hopes on Ed.

"I'll do my best. Ed replied, assuming he was a soldier.

"Mr. Grano, if you see the core of the Golem in battle, attack it immediately. ”

"I understand. ”

"Adjust it as we please. ”

Once Con'ou was done, his party passed through the entrance: a hole that led to a hidden dungeon.

The cave was dark, so Granno entered first.

"Please keep an eye on me. ”

Grano pushed the glowing stone forward, lowered his head, and entered.

Ed followed him, with Conou in last.

[Enter the hidden dungeon, the testing ground of wisdom.] ]

Initially, the testing grounds for wisdom were so small that they had to dodge to get through.

However, the faster they progress, the wider the tunnel.

Eventually, the ceilings became taller so that they could straighten their backs, and the tunnel became wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

Plus, there aren't any monsters.

"I saw the end," Ed said.

They saw an exit illuminated by lights.

However, there is a tombstone in front of the exit.

"There's something written here, too. ”

Cono pointed to the tombstone.

"It says that courage completes wisdom. Granno deciphered.

"If I could see Tulu, the god of wisdom, then I would grab him by the throat and say, if you have something to say, then say it. Con said.

"It has to mean that we have to prove our mettle by fighting the golem because we have proven our intelligence," Grano said. ”

"Yes, but it won't be so good, what if he just wrote?"

"At the time, people thought they would shine when they hid something," Granor said. ”

"Really?" Conou asked Ed.

"I don't know. ”

"What do you mean? You're old. ”

Ed (Eder) has been a ghost for so long that he is indeed quite old.

"Oops. I'm not that old. ”

Edel adamantly disagreed, his hands crossed into tens.

"I'm pretty sure you are. ”

"I'm not!"

Grano watched Cono and Eder arguing and smiled.

Grano said, "Oh, shhh Please restrain yourself. We need to concentrate on the task ahead. ”

"Okay. Edel glanced at Conou with disgust.

"Let's go. Conou shouted, avoiding Ed's prickly gaze.

Conou's team went to the brightly lit exit.

Without a doubt, Conou's favorite color is gold. He saw a ball in the air glowing golden.

Definitely the heart of the Stone Golem.

The core is huge. It appears to be more than 2 meters in diameter.

Object-oriented

The core's light starts to intensify, and then the core starts to rotate.

Rumble.

Rocks scattered across the floor rise and surround the core.

And then...

Conou immediately rushed forward.

"Mr. Conou?"

Eder and Granno are shocked.

By the time they realized what had happened, Conou was already some distance away from them.

As he lunged forward, Conou prepared to throw his magic sword.

Target.

He gritted his teeth and swung his arms as hard as he could.

Fire!

His jet-black swords left his hands.

Magnify.

His demonic sword slashed and flew towards his target.

Its target? is clearly the heart of the Golem.

The sword passed narrowly through the rocks.

Be!

His sword was embedded in the floating, radiating core.

Red debris pops out of the affected area. The golden glow it emitted began to swing up and down.

However, the core didn't hit the floor, it was still hanging in the air, with Con'ou's demonic sword.

However, the rate at which rocks accumulate around it has decreased.

The damage is not enough.

Conou's eyes sparkled.

Throwing his demonic sword wasn't enough to destroy the core.

With no other options, Conou started the race.

He jumped into the air and landed on the rocks.

"Hey. ”

Conou jumped again. He jumped from one stone to another.

He jumped from rock to rock again and again until he was ready for the final jump.

"Ahh

Con kicked the floor hard and jumped into the air.

He is heading to the core, but is still impaled by his sword.

Cono reached out and approached the handle of the demonic sword.

However, gravity caused him to fall, and he began to fall.

"A little more!"

Grip.

Conou barely grasped the handle.

"Hahaha. ”

Conou held his breath.

He managed to grab the handle, as if by grasping a branch, preventing the fall.

However, there are rocks everywhere. At such a rate, he was shattered before he even fought the stone golem.

Conou used Baramut's roar to fill his entire body with the power of a tiger.

"Eat this!"

Cono put pressure on the swordsman.

The pitch-black sword shimmered from the golden light.

Storm Tiger!

A tiger-shaped aura was released from the tip of the sword.

The aura immediately swooped down on the core.

When there is no distance between it and the enemy, it is very powerful. The huge impact caused the core to tremble.

Red shards explode from the core.

Ultimately...!

Crack. Crack!

Once it starts to rupture, there is no way to stop.

Prosperity!

The core exploded.

But there's a reason the core glows golden.

Gold overflows from the core, like how the basket opens at a sports meeting. There is also slate in the gold wave.

[You are the first to defeat the Guardian of Wisdom, the Stone Soldier.] ]

[This is a boss monster that only drops one item.] ]

[It drops Tulu's slate.] ]

Although the system messages popped up, Conou didn't have time to take a closer look at them.

As soon as the core exploded, his sword came out and he was swept away.

He is now declining rapidly.

Furthermore!

The rocks that gathered around the core also fell.

At this rate, Conou would either fall from the fall or be crushed to death.

"I can't let this happen!"

Cono grabbed the magic sword with both hands.

"Hey. ”

He stabbed his sword into one of the fallen rocks.

The rock did not stop, but continued to fall to the ground.

Cluck!

His sword formed a long "1" on the rock.

At some point, Conou stopped falling and simply hung himself from his sword.

Conou looked around.

He saw the perfect rock to jump on. Cono gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands and pulled it out.

Thump!

Cono bounced off the stone.

With this power, Conou landed safely on a descending rock.

However, his head was soon enveloped by something.

"Damn," he cursed, looking up.

That's what makes sense. The largest boulder to date is descending on the rock he just landed.

Cono quickly looked around, trying to figure out a way out of this situation.

At that time, Conou saw a large drop of water. It was big enough for him to enter.

"Mr. Kang, please enter the water drop!"

He heard Grano yelling.

The shadows began to darken, so he knew he didn't have time to think about it.

And then...

Thump!

Large boulders landed on the rocks he had just walked on.

The water droplets popped, and Conou was completely soaked.

"Oh, that's intimate. ”

Grano breathed a sigh of relief.

Conor was able to rush into water droplets before being stoned to death.

After that, Granor takes control of the droplets, moves them out of the fallen rocks and rescues him.

"Are you alright?" asked Granno.

"Yes, I'm fine. Con Ou checked his body for a moment, then replied.

"Why did you do that?" asked Ed.

He was the one who suggested that they fight together, but he rushed in alone.

"Seriously, why would you want to do that?"

Granno tells them that the boss is Shiyi, but by the time they arrive, its core has been exposed and is in the process of being transformed.

Conou knew this was his chance to strike. If the Golem's core is broken, then it cannot move.

However, if he delays the attack, then he will lose his chance, because the rock will completely envelop the core.

As a result, he did not have time to explain to them or convince them to believe in his plans.

He made his decision and ran away. Time was of the essence, so he threw his sword.

The best-case scenario is that his swordsmanship is broken.

However, the core is not completely broken, so Conou has no choice but to go over the rocks.

Then he barely grabbed the hilt of the sword and completely destroyed the core.

Add!

"You can see the enemy transform in front of you, and you don't just sit there and let it transform, do you?"

Whenever the main characters in the comics change or unite, the villains always sit there and watch.

Even if that's their best chance to kill the protagonist.

Conou is different from those idiots. If he gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill his opponent, then he'll accept the challenge without question.

"But you should at least tell us first. Eder grumbled.

"If I do, then I will lose my chance. I can barely destroy the core of it," Conou said.

"Anyway, Mr. Con'ou is safe, the Golem is destroyed, so shall we move on?" said Granno, placing his hand on Ed's shoulder.

"Okay. ”

Ed nodded.

"Shall we go see if anything has been dropped?" said Granno, smiling.

Grano arbitrates Conou and Eder so that they don't have to complain about each other.

"I've already won the lottery. ”

He recalled a wave of gold that overflowed from the core and grinned.

It's dangerous for him to aim just at the core.

But because Cono took that kind of adventure and destroyed the core, he was able to dismantle the extremely tough stone golem with ease.

Moreover, the rewards are sweet. He's already won the lottery.

"That's what high risk, high reward is all about!"

It's too confusing.

Once the rocks reach the ground, they shatter into pieces that are scattered throughout the room.

Between the boulder and the broken rock there are gold coins.

"Ed, pick up every coin," Conou said.

"I understand. ”

Ed began to collect all the gold coins.

"Let's see here..."

Conou walked through the broken rocks in search of Tulu's slate.

Like other items dropped by the boss, the slate shimmers slightly, making it relatively easy to find.

"This is it. ”

Conou lifted the slate.

[Tulu Slate]

Tulu is known as the god of wisdom. He is said to wield the Hadduk Staff, which is a symbol of wisdom.

It is a relic that contains only a small part of Tulu's wisdom.

+ Miracle of Tulu: Whoever carries this slate, mysterious events will happen once in a while.

Grade: Not assessable

Abilities: Intelligence +50, Intelligence +100

Minimum Requirements: None.

"Oh, the relics of the gods. ”

A relic of God is an item that can be stored in one's own inventory that enhances one's abilities and activates one's abilities.

Because they are active even when stored in one inventory, they tend to be expensive.

Granno approached Conou.

"Is this a relic of God?"

"Yes. Would you like to see it?"

"Of course. ”

Granor began to inspect Tulu's slate.

"It's...!"

He looked surprised.

"What's wrong?"

What the hell is going on!?

"The slate is engraved with letters. ”

"Good...... Is there a problem with that?"

It is not uncommon for people to carve letters on rocks or walls.

Grano said: "It says that the endless sea market has truth in the building there.

"The endless sea market has the truth upstairs there. "Absolutely...

"Doesn't that mean a hidden oasis?" Conou confirmed.

That's right. The inscription on the Tulu slab does refer to a hidden oasis.

But why is this phrase engraved on the stone tablet of Tulu?

"Definitely. There seems to be some kind of connection between Touru and the hidden oasis......" Grano replied, but his mind seemed to wander, drawn to something else.

"Hmm. Can I keep this list for now? Of course you will still be the owner of the item," Granno said.

Cono defeated the Golem alone. Therefore, the slate belongs to Conou.

However, Granno wanted to examine Tulu's slate further.
