‘A wind golem?’
Soo Hyuk thought while looking at the message .
‘Do I just have to kill this golem?’
The system message only said to defeated the wind golem . Was this the only condition?
‘I’ll know when I’ve actually defeated it . ’
Soo Hyuk looked around to determine where the wind golem was spawning .
‘It’s spawning in the middle of the room . ’
The magic circle appeared in the center of the room and slowly formed the golem from the head down .
‘Do I have to wait until it is completely summoned?’
Soo Hyuk thought while looking at the golem . It was not completely summoned yet .
“Magic Missile . ”
Soo Hyuk cast a magic missile at the wind golem being summoned . The Magic Missiles disappeared as they struck the golem .
[Wind Golem is being summoned . ]
[Attacking is impossible until summoning ends]
‘It doesn’t work . ’
Soo Hyuk waited patiently after reading the message .
‘……How big is it? ‘
Soo Hyuk tensed up as he waited for the golem’s summoning to complete . The ceiling of chamber was really high, yet it seemed as if the golem’s head could almost touch the ceiling .
-Test Start
The golem announced the start of the trial .
“It knows how to talk?”
Soo Hyuk said to himself as the golem spoke .
“Magic Missile . ”
Is it because the summoning was over? The Magic Missile did not disappear this time as it did before . The Magic Missile flew at the golem at high speed, but the golem’s next actions was completely unexpected .
-Dispel
Shuaakk!
Magic Missile suddenly disappeared .
‘What?’
Soo Hyuk stunned at this sight .
‘It used Dispel?’
Soo Hyuk never thought the golem would use Dispel . Before he could recover from his shock, the golem moved towards him . The golem was not too fast, but his body was so large that it quickly closed the distance between them . Soo Hyuk hurriedly recovered from his shock as the golem advanced towards on him and yelled,
“Fireball!”
This time, he cast Fireball .
The golem didn’t react to the Fireball speeding towards him and let the Fireball explode on it . Looking at the wind golem that had stiffen due to the Fireball, Soo Hyuk thought,
‘It has cooldowns!’
Fortunately, the golem’s Dispel seemed to have a cooldown .
* * *
“Uh…?”
The voice of Jang Yool echoed through the office .
Yang Joo Hyuk turned his head to look at Jang Yool .
“He somehow managed to reach level 100 . ”
Level 100 . Pangea wasn’t in it’s beginning stages anymore, yet Jang Yool was only reporting about a level 100? However, he soon realised who he was talking about from Jang Yool’s nervous attitude and opened his mouth to ask .
“The doors?”
“He’s doing the quests right now . ”
Yang Joo Hyuk rose from his seat and moved behind Jang Yoo .
“Which element did he choose?”
“Wind . ”
“Wind? Not poison? ”
“Yes, I think he chose wind because of its synergy with fire . He probably also thinks that Pavian could teach him poison magic . Maybe he doesn’t know that he can’t learn other skills except through skill quests . ”
Yang Joo Hyuk thought after listening to Jang Yool’s reply .
‘Wouldn’t it be hard if it was the wind?’
Fire and wind had good synergy . Of course, wind also had a resistance to fire . It was never easy to set the wind on fire .
Fire and wind had no distinctive weaknesses against each other . In other words, the difficulty of the opening quests was relatively high, especially if he had only just reached level 100 .
‘At his current state, he’ll only be able to unlock Poison . ’
Yang Joo Hyuk, who thought Soo Hyuk would open the door of Poison, asked again as soon as he returned to his seat .
“What is the situation?”
The opening quests are really hard, but Soo Hyuk’s stats were nothing to scoff at . Yang Joo Hyuk was curious about how things were going .
“Because of his high vitality, he’s holding up well… …”
“The golem?”
“No . Soo Hyuk . ”
Yang Joo Hyuk nodded and muttered to himself .
“He’s doing better than I thought . I wonder if he’ll be able to open any door other than poison…”
* * *
[Movement speed is reduced by 30% . ]
Soo Hyuk couldn’t pay attention to the message . He already guessed its contents as he felt his movements slow down drastically . The reason he couldn’t turn to look at the message:
-Bang!
The golem was repeatedly battering at Soo Hyuk as he desperately retreated .
“Fire Ball!”
Soo Hyuk threw himself out of the golem’s range and cast Fireball at the golem .
-Dispel
The fireball, however, disappeared as soon as it appeared . Soo Hyuk bitterly thought to himself while dodging .
‘Dispel’s cooldown is already over?’
If he had known that Dispel’s cooldown was already over, he would have used a Magic Missile to offset it instead .
While sporting a expression, Soo Hyuk hurried cast Magic Missile .
“Magic Missile!”I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
The Magic missiles flew to the golem at high speed . However, despite being hit by the Magic Missile, the golem only paused slightly as if nothing had happened, the golem reached out again . Soo Hyuk jumped sideways to dodge the golem’s fist .
‘How much health does it have?!’
Soo Hyuk was in a situation where his skills were all on cooldown, but the golem showed no signs of collapse . Rather, it was Soo Hyuk who showed signs of falling .
‘I already used up all my potions…’
Without potions, Soo Hyuk had no way to heal and he would eventually be defeated by the golem .
‘Is running away the option?’
If he continued like this, he really might die . Soo Hyuk continued fighting, but with the intention of running away .
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm “Firebolt!”
Soo Hyuk cast Firebolt and the Firebolt flew towards the golem at high speed . But when the Firebolt hit the golem, the golem stopped moving .
Shuuak!
Then the patterns hidden within its body starting shining intensely .
‘What? Why is it shining? Is it finished?’
As Soo Hyuk was confused over the golem’s suddenly change, a system message appeared .
[The Golem of the Wind has dropped below 50% health . ]
After seeing the message, Soo Hyuk was speechless .
‘I attacked it so much, bot only did 50%?’
Soo Hyuk frowned at the following message . He had struck the golem numerous times with all of his spells, yet the golem only lost 50% of its health .
[The Wind Golem begins its first awakening . ]
‘And what is this awakening?’
Soo Hyuk thought while frowning heavily at the message .
Awakening in a situation where he was half-dead? In addition, the message stated that it was its first awakening . That meant there could be a second awakening or even a third one . Soo Hyuk then turned to the look at the shining golem .
“Fireball . ”
Soo Hyuk fired a Fireball at the golem .
Bang!
The golem showed no response, possibly because it was awakening .
‘Did it take damage or not?’
It was a problem . What if the golem was invincible in this state? The skill would be wasted . While Soo Hyuk worried, another message appeared .
[The First Awakening is complete . ]
-Five
Golem’s voice was heard again alongside the message .
-Four
Golem was counting down .
-Three
Soo Hyuk wondered as the golem counted down .
-Two
‘What’ll happen when it reaches one?’’
-One
When the countdown reached one, the golem suddenly vanished . Soo Hyuk looked around in surprise, trying to find the golem .
‘Huh, where did it…’
-Wind
Soo Hyuk heard the voice of the golem above him and reflexively lifted his head to see the golem falling from the sky . Around the golem was a semi-transparent barrier of wind circling around its body .
Soo Hyuk instinctively had a strong feeling that he would die if the golem hit him and tried to throw himself out of the way .
Bang!
Unfortunately, Soo Hyuk could not completely avoid the golem’s strike . The glancing blow sent Soo Hyuk flying into the air .
‘I’m not dead . ’
Fortunately, although he was caught in a blast, he survived . If Soo Hyuk hadn’t avoided a direct blow, he would’ve died .
Soo Hyuk checked his remaining health and froze in astonishment .
‘200?’
It was because he only had 200 health remaining .
‘Damn . ’
Soo Hyuk’s face crumpled . Even though he still had health left, it wasn’t enough to even endure a single blow from the golem . He was also flying through the air from the blast at the moment . That meant that he had a high chance of dying from fall damage .
‘Damn it, am I going to die like this?’
Soo Hyuk turned his head to check where he was flying towards . It was a wall .
Bang!
[You were defeated by the Wind Golem . ]
[You have failed the Trial of Wind . ]
[Only the access penalty will be applied . ]
[The Door of Wind is closed . ]
‘Uh?’
After seeing the message, Soo Hyuk was dumbfounded .
‘Only the access penalty?’
There are a total of four death penalty for death . A decrease in levels and stats, dropping items, and an access penalty . But only one of these four penalties was applied .
‘Is it a special situation?’
It was likely that this was a special situation .
‘The door of the wind closed . I can probably choose another door, but the test is no joke . ’
After logging out from Pangea, Suh Hyuk exited the capsule . The conditions for opening the door were too difficult .
‘If only I stocked up on potions…’
Even if Soo Hyuk had more potions, it would still be hard . One attack from the awakened wind golem had depleted a majority of his health .
‘It was that strong after only the first awakening, too…’
The problem was the primary awakening . What is the second awakening be like if this was the first awakening? The secondary awakening would not be weaker than primary awakening .
‘Elements also have strengths and weaknesses . Just as fire and wind are synergistic, there are properties that are weak to fire . Perhaps I should use that?
Weak to fire… …’
Soo Hyuk remembered what element was weak to fire and frowned .
‘There’s only poison?’
