52: [Free Exploration] Stay Keen on the Part Destruction

Our party stood in front of the door to the Boss Room.

It was the first stone building I saw in this back alley. Looking at the scale, I wonder if it was used as a warehouse.

Like the shacks we had passed through, the entrance to this stone building was sealed with an iron plate. Well, it ‘was’.

“It seems that… something has broken through the seal.”

Lucas carefully fumbled with his hand on the broken iron plate.

It was exactly as he said. The iron plate that sealed the door here was torn from the inside.

I don’t know what was sealed inside, but it was obvious that the seal wasn’t very effective on it.

I pointed to the inside.

“Looks like this is the way inside. Let’s get in.”

The complexions of the party members all turned pale. Demian and Evangeline especially hated it.

“D-do we really have to?”

“C-can’t we just go back?”

“Shut it, teenagers. There’s no way we’re going back without seeing the boss mob’s face after coming all the way here.”

I tapped on Lucas’s back.

“Forward!”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

After taking a dry gulp, Lucas approached the door of the stone building, then pushed it.

Creeeeak—

The rusty hinges of the door made an ugly noise. The broken and worn-out door opened with difficulty.

Our party headed inside, maintaining the battle line.

Contrary to the hideous atmosphere on the outside, the inside was surprisingly fine. Of course, it was relatively fine, but the inside was still very messy.

‘The room is open and high.’

The inside was a spacious room that looked like a warehouse. The width was wide, but the ceiling was exceptionally high.

It was almost as high as a three-story building.

However, there was not a single storage item that should have been stored in this room if it really was a warehouse.

All of the wooden showcases, which seemed to have originally contained storage items, rotted away, and only a few of them remained intact.

Lucas narrowed his eyes as he inspected one of the broken showcases on the floor.

“You can see signs of sphagnum on the floors, walls, and furniture. It seems that this place had been submerged for a long time. It has since been abandoned… Could there have been a flood?”

“Well, we are under the lake. We shouldn’t be surprised to find out that this place had been submerged.”

Giving a rough answer, I illuminated the surroundings with the lantern in my hand.

“Rather than that, we are already in the boss room. Do not let your guard down.

“Your Highness, over there.”

Demian grabbed onto my sleeve tightly. I looked down at Demian.

“What’s the matter, Demian?”

“It’s… over there.”

“What is?”

“......”

Demian pointed to the inside of the warehouse with his hands slightly trembling, and I gasped when I looked in that direction.

There it was.

There it was, an incredibly gigantic golem that was incomparable to the golems of the past.

Lying sideways on the floor of the warehouse… like a person.

Ring!

Immediately after, a system message appeared in front of my eyes.

[Hidden Back Alley - Boss Room]

- Defeat the boss!

- Lv.20 Giant Steam Golem

- This boss has a part destruction reward.

Boss monster of Area 2. Bayanbulak, the giant steam golem.

‘Why does it have a person’s name again?’

Following the boss monster of Area 1, Drainage Manager Farleigh, the boss monster also had a human name this time. Why is this the case?

There was no time for questioning. A terrifying sound began to emanate from the lying golem's body.

Gwooong…!

As if waking up from a nap, the golem lying on the floor slowly got up.

《Oh, boy. I fell asleep once again.》

A mechanical voice came from the golem. My party members and I all raised our weapons and prepared for battle.

Thud! Rumble…!

The golem that rose up was in a strange posture with its back bent.

Nonetheless, it was still incredibly gigantic. Its head was almost touching the ceiling.

It's about twice as tall and three times as big as the steam golems we faced earlier. What is this incredible size?

Evangeline murmured with her chin dropped as she looked up at the golem.

“Can I have some of your height?”

I don’t think this is the time for that!

Gwooong-!

The fully raised golem stretched out its arms forward slowly.

《Now then, I will start today’s cleaning…》

The next moment, red magic power rushed fiercely into the two hands of the golem.

Ziing-!

Then it shot out.

Streaks of red flashes.

Rays of light flew in at a breakneck speed, but Lucas and Evangeline were already prepared for it.

Evangeline ran forward and raised her shield to block one ray of light, while Lucas deflected the ray of light from the other side with his sword.

Boom! B-Boom!

Kaboom…!

The beams of light scattered in all directions from the shield and sword stirred up the inside of the warehouse.

The furniture inside the warehouse, which was already a mess, fell over, raising dust.

“That was light-type magic. It’s quite hard to find nowadays.”

Jupiter was not afraid of the size of the boss monster, but she seemed nervous after seeing the magic.

“Your Highness, will you… be able to give us instructions?”

“Of course.”

I perfectly understood how to fight against the giant steam golem.

‘Rather, there’s not a single monster in this game that I do not know how to fight against!’

I’ve fought against this guy way too many times that I’m bored of it. There’s nothing to be afraid of!

“The golem in front of us is huge, but the principle of strategy is the same as the previous ones. We just have to destroy the magic core!”

Of course, it’s not as easy as it sounds.

I shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.

“However, this golem has many magic cores spread around its body as it is gigantic. They are in its hands, arms, legs, feet, chest, and head. It has a total of 10 magic cores.”

“10?!”

“Then it’s going to be going on a rampage until we destroy all 10 of them?!”

Lucas and Evangeline, who were barely keeping up with the speed of the lasers, were frightened. I grinned.

“If you want to defeat it completely, yes. However!”

I pointed at the magic core shining in the golem’s palm with my fingertip.

“If you destroy the magic core of a part, that part will cease to operate.”

“Aha…!”

“First off, we’ll have to aim for those two hands firing lasers!”

Rumble!

Before I could even finish speaking, Jupiter called the lightning in.

“Understood! Then this old lady will go first!”

Flash-!

A shower of bright yellow lightning struck the golem's right hand.

Its entire right hand was charred black, and the magic core of the right hand, which had been exposed because it was emitting magic, was instantly shattered.

Crash-!

* * *

* * *

Demian’s sniping followed. I didn't even give him the order, but he was aiming for the magic core in the golem’s left hand.

The magic bullet that was fired accurately landed on the mana core of the golem’s left hand, and the bullet’s remaining energy pierced through its palm.

Its right hand was charred, and its left hand was pierced through.

With both hands tattered, the golem couldn't shoot any more magic.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Then the golem began to walk toward us. The movement was slow, but its stride was wide, so it would get close quickly.

We have to defeat it before it reaches us.

“Next, aim for the legs. We will take its mobility away. Lucas, Evangeline!”

“Yes, Master!”

“Here I go!”

After confirming that the magic attack had stopped, Evangeline lowered her shield and ran forward. Lucas ran right next to her.

The golem swayed and waved its long arms at the two knights approaching.

Bam!

Its posture was sloppy, but its power was terrifying.

The floor of the warehouse that the arm passed by was dented, and the entire warehouse vibrated with wind pressure.

‘Its power is incredible, and its movement is too huge!’

Lucas and Evangeline easily evaded the attack and reached the golem's feet.

《My back has been hurting recently. Is it because I have been sweeping the floor for my entire life?》

“What has that pile of scrap metal been babbling about…!”

Reaching its right foot, Evangeline jumped up and lunged her spear down at the magic core installed in the golem's foot.

Crush-!

Evangeline's spear, which pierced through the foot in a breath, glowed white and exploded inside the foot. It was [Damage Payback].

“I can’t lose to that…!”

Lucas, who had arrived on the other foot, swung his sword that flashed with light. It was his skill, [Strike of Will].

Slash!

Lucas's strong sword strike shattered the golem's armor, and subsequent strikes shattered the magic core.

Thud, Rumble…

The golem’s two feet ceased to operate.

Then the golem slowly fell to the ground.

Even if it can't use both hands and feet, it can move its limbs, so it was planning on attacking us while crawling.

《I’d also like to enter the palace and learn to use magic one day. I'm tired of sweeping and polishing this place like a machine.》

As it continued to babble nonsense, the golem lying on the ground slowly began crawling toward us.

The moment it reaches the range of that long arm, it will launch a physical attack.

However, I was already aware of this pattern and ordered the party members to be prepared in advance.

“Evangeline, come back here and defend! Lucas, you stay in your position and neutralize the magic core at its legs. There should be magic cores installed in its joints!”

As soon as my order was given, Evangeline ran toward me like a hamster in a hurry.

Lucas nodded his head in his position and grabbed his sword.

“Jupiter and Demian! Focus your firepower on the arm that comes to attack first! It also has magic cores installed in its joints!”

As soon as my instructions were given, the golem stretched its arm out. Because of its gigantic height, it reached us quickly.

Jupiter and Demian both competed to fire the magic strikes and bullets first.

Jupiter’s lightning burned the golem’s plates, and Demian pierced the exposed magic core inside it.

Boom! Ka-boom!

However, the golem’s giant arm managed to drop on top of our heads as it exploded.

And Evangeline blocked it with her shield.

Thud-!

“Ugyaah!”

Evangeline staggered as she let out a weird scream.

Seeing that her shield was glowing white terribly, it must have been so powerful that even [Damage Store] couldn't take it all.

“Are you okay, Evangeline?”

“Of… course! I am! Absolutely… fine!”

Evangeline threw the golem's arm to the side with a loud shout.

Rumble…!

The golem's arm, which lost its strength and fell, was thrown to the floor, bringing a thick cloud of dust.

Evangeline glanced back at me with her triumphant face.

“How was I?”

“Amazing.”

I gave her a thumbs-up quietly. Evangeline scratched the back of her head awkwardly as if she was embarrassed after asking for a compliment.

Her little nose was bleeding, but let's just not mention it…

Thud! Rumble!

The golem tried to strike again with its remaining arm, but it couldn't straighten itself anymore.

It was because Lucas already destroyed the magic cores on both legs.

It couldn’t attack us as it was unable to maneuver smoothly with only its arm operating.

《One day, I… Will invent cleaning magic… That will allow my fellow cleaners to, take rest…》

Nevertheless, the golem somehow tried to rotate its arm to attack us, and Evangeline's spear struck its joint.

Boom!

She activated the Damage Payback with the damage she stored just a bit ago. The golem’s last arm was destroyed.

Lucas also destroyed the magic core on the chest of the immobilized golem.

He sliced through the plates on its back and indifferently stuck his sword in, neutralizing the magic core on its chest part.

However, even in this situation, the golem did not give up.

Rumble!

It swung its barely moving head and tried to crush us.

I heard Jupiter and Demian gasp as the huge head rushed in, scratching the floor.

I was preparing to dodge in advance, so I could pull myself out, but Jupiter and Demian, who were relatively slow, could be swept away.

‘Oh, for god’s sake! I just want to order my units around in the back!’

I stepped forward, gripping the Lucky Strike in both hands.

Lucas and Evangeline are too far, so I have no choice but to take the hit.

“I just want to get carried in the back~!”

Shouting my true intentions, I stretched out my fist.

The moment my fist met the golem's head,

Ring! Ring! Ring!

In one corner of the field of view, the damage slot began to spin fast.

What’s the number I’m getting this time?!
