Is this really a Game?!



The group slowly progressed forward as Siggurd got ready to attack at any moment.

With Reign and the other heavy-hitters of the group right behind him, he knew that even if they faced a Tier V being here, they should be able to defeat the enemy without suffering any casualties. 

He could restrain the enemy for a short period of time with his [ Gravity Manipulation ] and allow Reign and the others to bombard them with their strongest attacks, which would definitely do quite some damage.

Even if the two demon leaders were the enemies, he was certain that they could take them down quickly, the only issue would be the hundreds of Tier IV demons they would bring.

As the monster came closer, the entire group was able to sense it because the entire tunnel was shaking. Each footstep the monster took shook the cave, which made them realize just how large and powerful it had to be.

The ceiling of the tunnel was about 6 meters, and there was a turn about 40 meters in front of them.

It was there that they saw the monster for the first time.

It stood at slightly over 5.5 meters tall, and it was not what they expected.

"A golem?"

A tall golem that was made out of rock appeared and walked toward them. The golem looked humanoid as it had two legs, two arms, and a head. Its great size didn't make it sluggish or slow as each step it took covered a distance of over 2 meters.

"Are those the same rocks that are in the cave?" Liara asked as Reign nodded.

"From what I can sense, its power is about equal to a peak Tier IV being, but those rocks, they're tough, I'm afraid only a Tier V could go toe-to-toe against this thing and win."

Everybody gulped as the golem came closer to them.

"I'll stop it when it gets to 10 meters close to us, you guys get ready to attack at any moment," Siggurd said as he started channeling mana, as did everybody present.

The golem arrived 10 meters close to them rather quickly, and Siggurd made his move.

He appeared about 5 meters in front of the golem and extended his arm at it.

"Gravity Increase, times 15."

The gravity around the golem suddenly moved, being increased by 15, which made the golem stop and crash down.

It fell on its knees and bent forward, stopping itself with its arms.

"Now, I won't be able to hold this for much longer!" Siggurd said as he jumped back whilst still channeling mana to stop the golem from moving.

Reign and the others immediately attacked, each of them using their most powerful long-range attacks as attacking the golem from close range was a bad idea thanks to the gravity around it. Even they would be struck by it, which would make it nearly impossible for any of them to move.

Reign and the others launched their attacks forward, each of them hitting the golem straight in the head. The head started cracking from the attacks, which showed just how hard its defense was as even after being hit by tens of attacks, it hadn't gotten destroyed.

Another wave of attacks arrived, this one having even more attacks as those from the back quickly attacked as well, and the head came crumbling down, but the golem was still not destroyed.

"Dammit, get its arms, even without sir Siggurd holding it down, it won't be able to do much without its arms!" Reign shouted, to which the others nodded and attacked the golem's arms.

In a span of a couple of seconds, both arms crumbled, and Siggurd stopped using his ability as he panted slightly. He had used his gravity increase to its current maximum and it took some effort from him, but he would only need a couple of minutes to get his mana and stamina back.

The golem crashed to the ground before struggling and getting back up.

More attacks hit the golem, but it simply charged forward.

"This is insane, he's only at Tier IV and was able to tank so many attacks." Reign said as he charged forward with his swords. He arrived in front of the golem that quickly tried to smash through him, only for Reign to move to the side and slash at its legs.

Clang!

The two swords barely managed to cut through the tough rocks as only two thin lines were left on it, but it was luckily enough to make the golem stop and stare at Reign before attacking him.

"For such a big guy, you sure move fast, but that won't be enough if you want to catch me." Reign said with a smirk as he dodged the golem that tried to stomp him. Numerous attacks landed on the golem from the back and Reign continued attacking it from the front.

"Dammit, the core is moving around, so we can't destroy it easily." Reign said as he clicked his tongue in an annoyed expression before striking the legs again.

"Hit the legs, we can easily destroy it after immobilizing it!" Reign shouted as he once again struck the legs of the golem, this time by using his [ Twin Lightning Flash ], which allowed him to cut deeper into the golem, as well as to shock it, but unfortunately, the lightning did nothing as the golem was seemingly completely immune to it.

"What about this then?" Reign asked as he used his light manipulation and struck the golem's legs from the back, but again, it did little to nothing.

"Alright then, what about this one?!" Reign said with an excited expression as he slashed at the legs with his darkness covering his swords, which allowed them to cut much deeper than before.

'So darkness is very effective, light and lightning aren't at all.' Reign thought as he glanced behind him.

"Stop attacking, I'll deal with it myself, you guys conserve your mana!" Reign moved incredibly quickly and dodged the golem that had suddenly jumped and tried to flatten him before slashing at the legs again, each time cutting deeper and deeper.

'The one that used the artifact was able to use the light element, and the prison was made out of darkness, seems like the artifact is similar as light doesn't work against these guys, nor does any other element, but darkness is very effective.' Reign thought as he slashed and slashed while dodging.

In a couple of seconds, one of the legs started crumbling before Reign attacked the other one with full strength, destroying them both.

"Now, what can you do without either one of your legs, huh?" Reign asked the golem as he climbed on top of it, standing on its chest.

"The core is still moving, so even now, you don't want to surrender?"

"Alright, I'll just destroy everything." Reign smirked as he started slashing, but had to quickly jump back to dodge an attack.

"So you can regenerate as well, that's just unfair." Reign said as the golem managed to get one of its arms back.

"Let's see whether your regeneration can keep up with my damage, shall we?" Reign charged against and attacked without stopping for an instant.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm One arm was not nearly enough to change the tide of the battle, and after about 1 minute, most of the torso was gone, and the arm was heavily damaged.

"Damn, you sure are one tenacious bastard." Reign said as he panted slightly before attacking again, only to suddenly stop.

"Dammit, get away, it's going to blow!" Reign said as he jumped backward while the others quickly started running away, only for the torso of the golem to crumble as the core was revealed.

The core broke in an instant as Basred appeared in front of the group with one arm extended forward.

"That was dangerous," Basred said as Reign sighed in relief.

"Yeah, even if we manage to come close to destroying them, they will blow themselves up."

"You think there are more of these things here?"

"Definitely, just one golem won't be enough to defend an artifact, right?"

"Yeah, I guess so," Basred said as he sighed.

The group inspected the golem for a short period of time, but there was nothing there. The core was what seemed to move the pile of rocks that crumbled to dust the moment it was destroyed, so they simply continued forward.

"Darkness works well on them, but I don't know if any other element has a similar effect." Reign said as the others shrugged their shoulders.

From what they were able to see in the very beginning when they all attacked the golem in unison, no attack did a lot more damage compared to the others, so they doubted it.

"Sir Basred's attack did a lot of damage, but that might be because he is a Tier V combatant, so his attacks are naturally much more powerful than ours," Alistair said as Reign nodded his head.

"Well, if there are a lot of those bastards in here, then this is going to be quite troublesome."
