Chapter 52 - The Wind Golem (1/2)

‘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!”
