Rock Golem Reunion

"Ah, I woke up a little late" The outside was already bright, and I think I'll be taking a late breakfast. To be honest its not part of me to take breakfast at all on morning, with the old me always wanting to skip it

Having remembered about the new grill inside the cave, I went and picked up the fire crystal and lit it up, then toss some firewood for it to keep it hot. The grill was a little too high, and the firewoods was piled just below it, The design of it is that it has elevated parts for the grill which is now sideways, and and a layer that you can put so that you can use a pan, if I manage to make one after today that is

Having finished the cooking I went to the table, now it should be like this, if I learned a little more magic then surely all my daily needs would be solved

Having finished I went to the forging room, actually I didn't put a door so I can only say that its an area, it was slightly lowered, having picked the earth from the ground and using too much of it I decided to just make it even lower and make it a room instead, its just a 1 step deeper for the whole corner of the room, The cave is wide so it should be fine, even the ceiling was reduced so the smoke wont exit the room, I put enough reinforcement for the walls and a long pillar on the middle to keep it stable. Too much for a novice but I really really wanna forge in my entire life that I even filled the water tub with magic for no reason at all... even making table on the middle, but I don't have racks yet for storage. Since the existence of magic in this world is proven, my guesses is that this room may end up as a workshop instead

I almost accustomed myself on this place, that I really wanna stay here yet I do not, cuz its lonely here

If one day I decided to leave this place I may be leaving this to the next Sovereign dragon born at this place, but that is if we are the same cuz it might be a different case if they weren't on human form

"Hah for now I need essentials for today's journey, Something like Pickaxe and some tools. Oh ya, I should also make some Axes cuz I'm just relying on fallen dried woods" looking back to the room, I thought that maybe I need to pick stones this time outside

"Huhuhu" looking at the stone Pickaxe head and Axe head that I made, I smug at myself. Having played Survival games of course I knew how they look. The stick that I had before now had a stone spearhead. Firewoods wont do for heavy tools so when I searched for stones outsides I also look for thick branches and chop them off with the old sword

"Ah It won't fit, I'll need to adjust them" If I made the whole pickaxe a stone. It'll just break off in the middle, unlike wood where it'll just bend "To be honest I just followed those games but, Ah well I can make another one If it broke, my mana capacity seems to be high and I think I got a skill to further improve it as I didn't feel tired from yesterday's magic usage". Using magic to adjust it I made it fit, However it remained circular so I got worried that they might turn later... I also think that I should've dried the wood but.. nah

Having done, I laid them on the table outside, you can say its a living room but... no cuz there are nobody living there exept for me

Going to take my daily routine of taking a bath, I tried using magic aswell, its fun spraying water around like a water gun, but the innocent fishes keep on meddling me, can't argue with them. Hmm... but probbably just probbably I can use magic to clean myself

I picked up my clothes and wear them, I hang the wet clothes aswell on the sun

I entered the cave and picked up the bag and strap it at myself, seriously some of the item I have were useless. This pelt could probbably be used later on but the spider web was gross yet useless...

"Hmm? wait... it dried? I thought it was just sticky and can be used as a supplement for glue" it was dry, and no longer sticky, it looks like thread Hmm? "Ohooooh I see, perhaps I can dry them when stretched and use them as actual thread, I'm not familiar with the making since they said it was made by fibers or some kind and I have no idead" I still think of melting it and making a glue in the end, aside from bones which is eeiry maybe I can just do it that way...

I'll be back for it later on, I picked up the pickaxe and the sword, I left the spear behind for now and went on my way to the door after returning the clothes and closed it before releasing a sigh "Right, I need to be careful, even if there's only a rock golem it's still dangerous out there much more since there are three or more of them"

Walking my way to the rock formations, I hunted some of the monsters I found

Once I reached the valley I went and observed around. but I haven't found any rock golems or monsters. Even while trying to sense anything there's nothing. "Just what is going on I wonder, Even when I thought of trying to hunt one"

I checked around with pickaxe at hand, there are stones with colors but they are too brittle. Maybe I'll check the bottom of the cliff supporting those weird formations

*ting* hitting my stone with the pickaxe I noticed its strength, its tough and almost broke the tip of the pickaxe

hoooh, and mana seems to also not work since its not responding to magic

Reforming the tip of the pickaxe with magic I went and mine all the way till I got a few amount, I also mine some on the edges that have flat surface till I got a fine one without cracks

"Too tiresome, heeeh" heaving a sigh, I made some more effort

After 3 hours of mining I made an acceptable amount, I can still take more with me but I want to check if I can actually take some of the golems, actually speaking the weight of it was too much for an ordinary human, the size is also big enough "How I wanna make a pulley"

Surely enough the bag was still holding on but princess carrying the stones doesn't look appropriate for anyone to see... well there's nobody here to see anyway

I drop the bag and stones on the area near the exit, and head into the cliff. My agility was high enough to make a few jumps around the cliff to the top, actually it went smoothly than I expected. The area is suprisingly wide from there I took my time till I spot a rock golem on the far edge distance of the forest. It was running out of the forest "Hoh I finally found one"

I went down the cliff and hide along the rocks till I reached the distance where I can observe it "Hah?, This rock golem... why does it have scratches around it?" recalling that there are 3 golems that went into that very same forest, I tried to think of what happen... but no matter how hard I think... I can't think of anything

"Its a problem if there are monsters around capable of damaging them but its still a riddle as to why did they went into the forest in the first place and why did it run out of there"

Seing that the golem was weaker right now, I went out of the way and threw a rock on it full force. But the rock only caused the golem to be wobbly and like smashing the golem it only caused a crack "Tsk... It was this strong but that something managed to slice through it" the golem noticed my appearance as I was on an open and rushed into me by swinging its arms, Reacting on its attack I threw myself sideways by a kick. *Thud* the rocks was blown away around "Why... why are you so strong despite being damaged!" Acting like it didn't hear anything, it once again charge into me "Tsk" Upon seing it moving again, I though up of ways to defeat it. *Tick* a mental sound resounded in my head, *Tick* I stared at the rock golem, *Tick* like the world is slowing down I stared at it and stared *tick* the golems arms was swung into my position, *bam* with a slight force it smashed the ground into a crater, while me dodging that... got blown off slightly by both the impact force and the debris *tick*

"Errr... it was the joints that moved and is the most vulnerable due to it having no armor"

Side stepping all my way, even when holding the sword, I went and dodge the golems attack and pile some stones at my hand, throwing them off to shake it away and hitting the joints but it was just hard

"The defence is too high! So it all ends in magic huh" deflecting the debris that flew into me by my sword, I think of ways to utilize magic, It was my first time with using it like offensive magic so it was a different feeling when doing something and casting

The 4 elements can be considered physical but it may have a different effect, and my sword can't even damage it and only ever made some sparks

"Its stronger than I thought, and I might even die right now" strangely enough I wasn't fearing death and can remain calm at this situation, the mental beat also proved to be useful as I never lose focus on the target. Having known the delays between its action as the battle progresses I finally threw a black ball "Darkness"

The magic hit the target and blew a chunk of it, It was small. "Fire" Throwing a fireball this time an explosion occur and it got pushed back but there are even less damage "Tksss, both of my higher level magic did small damage"

I need a bit of knowledge for it "Wait Wha-" Out of a sudden the golem used both of its hand and swung it on me "Guhh" having barely dodged that, I receive an impact of pressure heavy enough to throw me away at distance

"Agh... It hurts... it hurts guhh" Spitting out some blood on the ground I slowly stood up and regained my balance. While looking at the golem slowly turning towards me, I slowly regained my calm

"I need detail, images, anything..." Slowly imagining things while locking my eyes with the golem, I thought up of the light particle that shoot itself to me like lasers

"Lasers huh" Thinking up and pouring mana into my extended arm I thought of the fire magic, the fire formed in front of me but it wasn't enough, adding more mana to it and the image of compressing it like a hose when its lid was blocked

"Ngggghh, Never knew it was this hard... F-Fir-" *BAAAM* without waiting for me to finish my words I got blown off by my own magic and its laser like burst hit the golem's left shoulder

Being thrown off second time I already lost most of my strength "Re-recoil, Aahh" I can't see anything I cant hear aswell, the light of my magic blinded me by surprise and also by the loud sound of it that shook off my hearing "Ughh... Flashbangs... friendly fire dammit" Having ended up in this situation, I thought that I'm just going to die again today, however nothing came till I regained some of my eyesight. "Ughh" slowly moving my numbed body till I sat on the spot, I quickly turned to look at the golem. It was for some reason laying on the ground "Did I win?" slowly standing up, I went and searched for my sword and picked it up. Using the sword as a walking stick, I went to the golem

The golem was laying on the floor with a hole on its chest while emmiting smoke, the hole which took off its shoulders and arms have reached till chest and seems to have hit a crystal like thing on its body, its like a heart of this golem

"Argh, that should be the one acting up as the core of the golem, so even if I disarmed the golem by hitting its joints it seem to not be able to break through and kill it" haah, all of that for nearly nothing, in the first place it wasnt a living thing and even if I read it.. it only does mechanical movements

I tried to try pulling it up, but it didn't move. My body recieved damage however it seemed that defence stats has something to do as to why I can still remain alive after all that with less damage

After picking up the items on the exit as well as the bag. With pickaxe at hand I begun to mine this golem while being filled with hatred

[Magic stone: A stone magically formed by earth's energy, has the ability to store mana, commonly found as golem core and on mana quantity rich areas]

"With this level of appraisal I can acquire 3 types of information. Heeeh but nothing when they are alive or living" hah this was reality after all...

Packing them off on the bag, and princess carrying some of them, I also left some as they can be hindrance on weight I began my move, its true that I can carry them just fine, but with the length of my hands carrying them all would be impossible. Truely unfortunate that I actually forgot to make a pulley, Like seriously wth...

Upon reaching the cave although almost falling down multiple times, I began to unload the ones on my hand and put the ones on the bag till all of them are inside

"HAAAAAAAAAAHGHH" with the heaviest sigh in my life I dumped my face at the table. "Seriously even a weakened rock golem could pulverize me to death!? just how much to I amount on this world, What if it wasn't damaged like the one before, shouldn't I be dead by now?" Ah now that I think of it I didn't even hide myself too much *sigh* "I sigh myself too much, its now becoming a hobby"

Stretching out my body, I lifted the rocks and moved them into the workshop. Then prepared food and ate

Dusting off myself, and dumping the rest of my plans today, I went to sleep and called it a day
