Ta-dat!

A little while ago, Han-bit, who had dodged the golem’s attacks, quickly moved far away.

Even if they buy time, it can’t be sustained for long.

He had to achieve his goal as quickly as possible.

Ta-dat!

The compass still shining in his hands.

The remaining time before this effect wore off was about 10 minutes at the longest.

He had to move as swiftly as possible.

Flash!

The light emitting from the compass was pointing to one of the collapsed buildings.

Han-bit, running outside the golem’s line of sight, quickly reached the target location.

Thud-

The remnants of the building slowly dropping to the floor.

Digging inside, he approached a half-remaining wardrobe.

Crack-!

As he ripped open the door, a small box placed on the lower shelf was seen.

Inside it, there was a single orange stone smaller than a fist.

“Good.”

Guardian golems are as important to manage as they are powerful.

Therefore, safety devices to halt their function are always hidden around them.

Should it be called 3 power buttons corresponding to the golem’s 3 cores.

Craaaash-!

A massive noise still rang from the golem’s side.

The two who had been repeating death seemed to have gained somewhat of a knack for it as well.

“First one for now.”

Stretching out his hand, Han-bit took out the orange stone and squeezed it.

Sssk-

The color disappearing slowly upon contact.

Turning his head, the golem’s movements were in a stopped state.

However, that rest didn’t carry on for long.

Crackle-!

Sparks that flew from the golem’s chest.

Checking that the light of one core had extinguished, Han-bit left a message for the two.

[2 remaining. It won’t take long, so please bear with it a bit longer.]

Boom-!

After a short while, their battle started once anew.

“Next is… over there.”

Han-bit quickly headed to the next location the light pointed.

Because it wasn’t a place too far away, he could quickly find the second stone as well.

Sssk-

As the color faded from the stone, the golem stopped anew.

It was exactly the same that the light extinguished from the core on the chest.

Flash!

The final light emitted from the compass.

The direction was the leaning clock tower in the center of the ruins.

It was a quite far distance, and the remaining time was 1 minute at best.

Ta-dat!

Kicking off the floor, Han-bit swiftly advanced through the ruins.

Whether it was definitely thanks to the added effector, his movements were further improved.

However, arriving at the clock tower safely was another story.

Sssk-

A massive shadow was cast over his head as he ran between the buildings.

It landed on the ground earlier than Han-bit could arrive.

Craaaash-!

The gaze of the suddenly appearing golem landed exactly on Han-bit.

It was a feeling that it completely ignored anyone else.

“Black Dragon-nim!”

“Black Dragon!”

Immediately after aggro bounced, a surprised Avant-garde and Kim Jae-ha ran to follow.

Being flustered was the same for Han-bit as well.

‘Did it add some AI or something?’

The golem showed movements as if it were trying to protect the final stone.

Even thinking back to any past instances, it was a situation that had absolutely never appeared.

Thump-!

The golem, taking a step, swung its arm aiming at Han-bit.

It was clearly an incredible speed, but Han-bit was not someone to be unable to read movements.

The problem was the aggro still locked onto himself.

It was glaringly clear he would be caught up to by the golem if he ran quickly like this.

Swoosh-!

Jumping up, Avant-garde started his attacks again.

Whoosh-!

“Ugh!”

The golem shaking it off merely by swinging its arm.

Its gaze never left Han-bit.

Sssk-

Before anyone knew it, the light emitting from the compass had vanished.

“Phew.”

He perfectly remembered the position of the last stone.

The problem was finding a way to reach the not-so-close target.

Furthermore, if the clock tower were even to be destroyed by the golem, the possibility of the situation twisting up further grew huge.

Ta-dat!

Organizing his thoughts, Han-bit kicked off toward the opposite direction of the clock tower.

Boom-!

Simultaneously, the golem followed him while smashing the ground.

Avant-garde and Kim Jae-ha also changed direction and came running.

Whoosh-!

Catching up to the speed in an instant, the golem swung its fist.

Han-bit evaded it a beat fast and baited the guy.

Boom-!

Craaash-!

The golem destroying its surroundings as if going berserk.

Distancing himself from the clock tower was a correct choice.

“Black Dragon-nim!”

Avant-garde sticking close right by his side.

Kim Jae-ha was running diligently from behind.

“It feels like there’s a certain area where aggro gets drawn, so let me quickly try checking!”

Avant-garde violently swerved his body and sprinted off to the opposite side.

Advancing straight, he reached the front of an abandoned building distanced from the clock tower.

That moment.

Boom-!

The golem kicking off with tremendous force leapt out straight ahead.

It took merely an instant for the guy to reach Avant-garde.

Whoosh-!

A fist swung much faster than before.

Failing at all to dodge, he got hit dead center and died.

“It seems to be exactly up to that building.”

Returning to life quickly, Avant-garde swiftly came back.

His face filled with interests showed no signs of subduing.

Rumble-!

As his target disappeared, the golem started running here anew.

Its speed was certainly less fast than when it headed towards the clock tower.

“You two, please continue drawing its gaze here.”

Reaching a decision, Han-bit said to the two.

“Understood!”

“I’ll try doing exactly the same as earlier.”

Avant-garde, merely displaying an ambitious temper, and Kim Jae-ha calmly gripping his hammer tightly.

For them who had been buying time for some minutes now, there was no hesitation.

Craaash-!

The golem, running over while churning up the ground, threw out a punch straight off.

Ta-dat!

The twin swords clutched in the leaping Avant-garde’s hands.

Dozens of strands of yellow threads were rippling around them.

‘He is using that technique.’

Swordsmanship of Threads was a tricky skill.

A difficulty degree practically among fingers to count among non-hidden skills.

By that much, it was a skill with significantly high expected value in the future.

“Hup!”

Kim Jae-ha burying in towards the legs smashed down the floor and chipped the terrain away.

He properly knew how to handle fighting that golem.

It’s a substantially effective method for him lacking in strength.

‘Should I try fighting back too.’

Sneakily widening the distance, Han-bit approached the clock tower little by little.

The golem swinging its fist honestly and swiftly wasn’t concerning him yet.

“It’s fine up to here.”

Han-bit reached the low wall at the outskirts of the abandoned building.

The golem’s gaze still unable to reach him.

However, even by stepping into it with merely one footstep, the guy would chase him immediately.

Craaash-!

The yellow thread spools scattering amidst combat and the ringing deafening roar.

The battle to attract the golem’s gaze continued unceasing.

Whoosh-!

Fwooosh-!

The wind continually gathering at the sword and the flames raging inside it fluttered harmoniously.

Once.

A single strike stronger than ever, exactly one was needed.

Thud-

Han-bit mounted atop the piled up massive heap of ruins.

It was a height perfectly suitable, well-viewing the center of the ruins within.

“Far, it’s far.”

He turned his gaze to the peak of the clock tower.

Ignoring the golem’s pursuit and running directly was an unreachable distance.

As expected, only one method remained.

“Fire Burst.”

Kaboom-!

Han-bit utilized magic targeting the ruined center.

The much-strengthened explosions were sufficient to smash the abandoned buildings and clumps of debris.

“Fire Burst.”

The next magic flew in an orientation a little further away.

It demolished the things near, veiling the clock tower.

Kaboom-!

After the final fireball exploded, Han-bit stared wide at the fully opened field of view.

The clock tower vicinity was neat, already due to everything torn down by the golem.

Finishing the preparatory steps, Han-bit opened the character info window.

[Black Dragon – Lv.49]

[Title: None]

Strength: 52

Agility: 55

Intelligence: 52

Stamina: 35

Remaining Stat Points: 36

‘Good thing I saved them.’

The reason for not using stat points as soon as obtaining them was to prepare for “just in cases”.

Just like right now.

Sssh-

Moving his finger, Han-bit rapidly distributed points to necessary stats.

[Black Dragon – Lv.49]

[Title: None]

Strength: 57

Agility: 60

Intelligence: 58

Stamina: 55

Remaining Stat Points: 0

In contrast to until now, 20 stamina points invested all at once.

That was how difficult traversing this situation was.

Whoosh-!

The wind of flames cloaking the sword’s perimeter influenced the surroundings to a degree.

Adopting a posture, Han-bit examined the golem fighting distantly away.

And moved footfalls toward the center of the ruins atop the debris.

Swish-!

Simultaneously, the golem’s shifted gaze.

The guy moved in an instant.

Boom-!

The golem kicking off tearing up the ground this time too.

Leaping up, the guy appeared above exactly in the blink of an eye.

Craaash-!

Smashing down the floor, the golem demolished everything nearby.

Han-bit, preparing early, was solely the only one standing among the earthen dust.

“Fire Burst.”

Kaboom-!

Stretching his arm, Han-bit launched magic at the golem’s face.

Whereupon, the guy’s onslaught continued to be more brutal.

Boom-! Boom-!

Attacks flying haphazard using hands and feet.

The vastly launched fist plugging into the floor was right after.

Boom-!

Dodging this way and that inside the earthen dust, Han-bit hopped high up directly.

Mounting its wrist, he swiftly raced up to the guy’s shoulder.

Thud.

Viewpoint elevating alongside the golem hoisting its figure.

Stretching his hand out, Han-bit operated magic once again.

“Fire Burst!”

Kaboom-!

The explosion colliding onto the golem’s face generated pitch black smoke.

Re-gripping his blade, Han-bit kicked off bounding high into thin air.

‘It’s coming.’

Regaining visual promptly, the golem directly twisted its waist.

And released a fist heavily loaded with tremendous power straightforwardly.

Whoosh-!

The enormous fist arriving near the nose took a moment.

However, Han-bit’s maneuvers were a split faster than that.

Whoosh-!

As his sword broadly swung, blades of wind entangled with flames shot out like a tempest.

It collided frontally with the rushing golem’s fist.

Bang-!

The attack detonating like a blast formulated a gigantic shockwave.

Taking the brunt of that consequence exactly in front, Han-bit got bounded away with considerable power.

“Black Dragon!”

“Black Dragon-nim!”

Whoosh-!

The two people’s shouts distancing away instantly.

Han-bit’s body was splitting the air like a bullet.

Adjusting his sword heavily, he employed all remaining power to align direction piece by bit.

“Fire Burst!”

Kaboom-!

Immediately prior to touching the clock tower.

He discharged magic to the facade wall mitigating momentum absolutely.

Owing to stat buffs, the backlash from the Attribute Manifestation was dampened, yet required serious focus.

Craaash-!

Digging in breaching through the waist of the tower, the body rolled on the flooring alongside shock.

Had stamina stat points not been dealt, it was a detriment of easily earlier expiration.

“There it is.”

Benefited by internal contortions, the peak of the clock tower upwards was vividly seen.

Boom-!

At that moment, a massive shadow veiled paired with the concussion resounding down the floor.

At the top, the golem giving off scarlet glares was dropping.

Ta-dat!

A speed where reaction was arduous, nonetheless Han-bit stayed calm.

The dropping angle, alignment, severity of force.

Gauging these factors produced capacity predicting the slight openings.

Craaaash-!

The golem descended downward to the ground joined with huge shock.

Sticking purely at the outskirts, Han-bit attained survival differentiated by a span of mere footsteps away.

‘Wow, I nearly died.’

Somehow surviving the thick dust, he sneaked out.

The normal apex of the clock tower retaining shape amongst devastated overall architecture globally.

Onto the half surviving facade portion hung a box half-ajar.

Directly inside, the orange stone visibly evident.

Thud.

Swiftly lifting its figure again, the golem’s red eyes shifted to Han-bit.

However, this zone proved favorable upon his advantage primarily.

Ta-dat!

Han-bit instigating sprinting in between wrecked residuals.

The golem began strikes invoking giant arms.

Bang! Rumble-!

The thickly piled rubble manifested into a deterrent facing the guy’s onslaught.

Ducking between slivers hither and fro flexibly, Han-bit hastily leaped shifting onto its shoulder.

Crackle-

Then, slipping completely open atop the bounding box.

Seeing the stone hurtling downwardly, Han-bit kicked hard overhead.

Ta-dat!

Hovering mid-air employing severe dynamics, he outstretch his arm.

And the moment his fingertip nearly collided dropping orange stone.

Whoosh-!

Below, the gigantic golem hand exploded externally.

Screech-!

Alert facing the offensive, Han-bit torqued his sword attenuating force violently.

Being punted midair was an unpreventable certainty, yet pre-factored in overall computation already.

“Hup!”

Consigning his physique onto reaction forces, Han-bit aviated empty space.

Perhaps consequence from the shortly previous blast, the rock was likewise ricocheting upward.

Craaaash-!

A knuckle uppercut hitting from beneath once again by the golem.

Imposing attacks rushed to feet ends instantaneously.

However.

Tap!

For this exchange, Han-bit’s hand proved quicker.

“Caught it!”

Momentary sliver.

Snatched the rock within fractions of marginal differentials narrower than merely that.

And turning head orienting floorward.

Whoosh-!

Riding with harsh gales, a gigantic pair of fists engulfed vision.

That exact fist rested congealed rigidly unmoving.

“Wow, almost got killed truly.”

Thud.

Smoothly landing atop the knuckle comfortably, Han-bit expelled a relished breath.

Sssk.

Upon shifting his gaze, the last light faded inside the golem’s chest piece matrix.

A prompt delivery alongside notification alarm directly subsequent perfectly.
