Chapter 222: - The Secret Golem Lair
The team made their way to the location that Charmelyn had discovered. It was an area well- hidden behind a scattering of rocks and overgrown bushes. They found a staircase descending into darkness.
Unlike Charmelyn, who had scouted the area in her stealth mode, they were now fully
exposed. Elincia took out a crystal lamp, and with a swift motion, it lit up, casting a bright glow around them. There were no audible signs of monsters or other dangers from where they stood; it seemed safe enough.
"Let's go see what's down there," Elincia said.
They began their descent down the stone steps, several of which were broken, forcing them to carefully leap over gaps. The sound of their footsteps echoed more loudly the deeper they went. Not long after, they arrived at the first chamber, a spacious area lined with towering pillars, some of which had collapsed in various places.
Just as Charmelyn had described, there were several stone statues resembling knights scattered across the floor. She had referred to them as golems.
"Let's see what we can find here," Elincia instructed, and the team promptly spread out.
Intrigued, Broken approached one of the golem knights. This particular one seemed mostly intact, even though it was sitting against a wall. Even in its seated position, the golem's height reached up to his chest.
Broken had battled golems before, during his trial in the Fate Trial Domain, a place where he had also encountered King Elandorr. He remembered those encounters well; fighting golems was always a tedious task. It took considerable effort and time to bring them down, and Broken couldn't shake the feeling of impending trouble they might face with these stone giants.
Broken examined the golem closely, using his knuckle to try and break into its chest area. He pounded on the spot repeatedly, creating echoes in the chamber and causing some cracks to crumble onto the ground.
"What are you doing, dumbass!" Skywarden shouted from a distance.
Inside the chest area, Broken discovered a socket where the Golem Core should have been.
"The core socket is empty," he muttered, puzzled.
The weight of this decision loomed large in his mind. Acquiring a new class was a significant commitment and one he couldn't afford to take lightly. He needed a clear plan to ensure that whatever class he chose would be beneficial and could be utilized to its fullest potential.
"Yes," Elincia finally responded after a moment of thought. "I believe a Golem Creator falls under a production class because they can sell access to their golems to others. Although they can't mass-produce golems like other production classes, most golem creators are a blend of production and combat. Take Toberry, for instance, an alchemist who also fights, using the various potions he crafts."
"Okay, thanks for the answer," Broken nodded, his thoughts drifting towards the idea of acquiring a golem creation class.
After they felt they had thoroughly analyzed the first chamber, they decided to venture deeper into the underground chambers. As they moved forward, they encountered more broken golems. The possibility that these golems might spring to life and become their final challenge stirred a sense of unease among them. Every chamber they entered was filled with numerous golems, seemingly ready to awaken and hunt them down at their master's command.
They kept going until they entered the last chamber, much bigger than the others. At the far end of the room stood the ultimate golem, looking more polished than any before. It resembled a knight, but it was much taller, almost as tall as Kingsley when he transformed into a bear. This golem, however, looked like a huge armored gorilla.
They approached the formidable golem cautiously. Skywarden took the lead, positioned himself closest and struck at the golem's chest- the usual location of the Golem Core. But this time, they discovered something different. The core's socket was shielded by a magic sphere, a protective barrier that enveloped the crucial area.
"It's protected!" Skywarden exclaimed in frustration.
Elincia stepped closer, examining the barrier. "It seems the seal will only open under certain conditions," she mused.
"Yes, just like before," Skywarden replied, irritation seeping into his voice. "We probably need to defeat every monster in this dungeon before this thing becomes active. Can't we
destroy the golem and end this dungeon already?"
"You can't be serious," Elincia retorted. "The core socket is protected. Even if we destroy the golem's body, once the Golem Core is activated, it will still rise."
Realizing they couldn't do anything immediately, they agreed to leave the chamber and continue their mission. Their objective was clear: eliminate every monster in the dungeon first. Only then might the golem activate, which they suspected was the dungeon boss they needed to defeat to clear the dungeon.
As they prepared to exit, curiosity gnawed at Broken. He took a few steps closer to the massive golem, causing the others to glance back at him.
Skywarden called out, "Don't waste time!"
But one thing caught Broken's eye and made him especially curious. Inside the golem's chest, he noticed a small area that protected the Core Socket-a private domain.
