Plan Failed

Don carefully and cautiously took a step towards the Golem while forming a shield around them to prevent the sound from reaching below.

Each step the Golem took, shook the ground beneath him.

When the golem got closer, it threw a punch at him. Seeing the huge stone hand coming at him, he blocked it using his hands. The moment the golem's fist met Don's hand, he was pushed back several steps and his hands had gone numb.

"Knight, I think I'm facing a peak level grandmaster here"

Realizing that he's facing a peak level grandmaster, he had two choices, first, he could go all-in and defeat the golem but he wouldn't be able to keep the shield on to prevent the sounds from reaching below. The second choice was, he could keep the shield on and fight the golem without making any big moves so Arrora could come to him and steal the scrolls while he's fighting.

"Nightmare, are you finished?"
