Concrete_Jungle Dungeon Day 5 Part 3
"Let go of that pillar, Vier-chan..."
"Mhm!... Let it go, Vier..."
"No... We're not leaving until we defeat that Gold coin... I mean Golden_Golem..."
Mifumi-sama and Felin are now trying their best to drag me out of this place while I'm doing my best to resist, holding to a pillar with all of my strength.
"We're not allowed to fight a high-ranking monster like that and there's no way a Bronze_Rank Adventurers Party like us could win against a Rank_5 Golden_Golem."
"Then an arm... I will be content just by having its golden arm."
"And how are you planning to break and steal its arm, Vier-chan?..."
"With the power of friendship!"
"What the heck is the power of friendship?"
"I mean with my most powerful Magic_Item bullet!"
.
.
.
Magic_Item bullet or Magic_Bullet.
It's not exactly what its name says.
If you're thinking of something like a Flame Attribute bullet that could burn its target upon impact or an Ice Attribute bullet that could freeze its target upon landing a hit, then you're definitely wrong.
To be clear, Magic_Bullet are bullet made from Metal Monster_Materials and has an Explosive spell engraved at its bullet case.
The strength of Magic_Bullet depends on what kind of Metal Monster_Material it was made from, how much Mana was poured into the bullet before it was shot, and how strong the Explosive spell engraved on it.
And for the strongest Magic_Bullet of my Double-Barrel_Shotgun, it's definitely a Mithril_Bullet.
.
.
.
"Are you crazy, Vier-chan!... Don't use an expensive Magic_Item like that unless it's an emergency!"
"Mhm!... Expensive, expensive, expensive!"
"This is more than an emergency!... And a giant golden arm is more expensive than a small Mithrl_Bullet!"
So why do I have an expensive Magic_Item like the Mithril_Bullet?
It's not that I have many and it's not my most expensive Magic_Item that I have my possession. After all, I'm carrying an Orichalcum_Shield inside the Storage skill of my Slime_Watch.
Both the Metal Monster_Materials of my Mithril_Bullet and Orichalcum_Shield were just excess materials from one of Master Berlin's projects.
In other words, I got them for free.
"Then don't waste them in a situation like this, Vier-chan... There's definitely no way you can penetrate the defense of a Rank_5 Golden_Golem!"
"We won't know until I try, Mifumi-sama!... Right, Felin?"
Come on, Felin... Please be on my side...
"Mhm!... I also want to cut the gold Golem, Mifumi-sama."
"Definitely not!... I'm not letting you and Felin approach a monster as dangerous as that!"
"Then let me do it, Mifumi-sama. After all, I don't need to approach the Golden_Golem to execute my attack."
"Argh!..."
"Plus I'm letting you take the Golden_Golem's picture to act as the diversion."
With Mifumi-sama's hobby as my ace of cards, that golden arm will be mine.
"Fufufu..."
"Ugh!... I hate that greedy smile of yours, Vier-chan... But the Golden_Golem's picture has a rare slot in my collection."
"Fufufu..."
I won... Clinging to this pillar with both of my hands and legs has won against Felin and Mifumi-sama's combined strength... Fufufu...
.
.
.
"Are you ready, Mifumi-sama?"
"Mhm!..."
"Just stay at Mifumi-sama's side in case anything unexpected happens, Felin."
"Mhm!..."
"Then let's start!"
With my signal, our group began to execute our plan to obtain one of the Golden_Golem's arms.
I run towards the back of the Golden_Golem while hiding in the walls of the ruined buildings.
Once I was in the position hiding behind debris near the back of Golden_Golem, Mifumi-sama finally came out from where she and Felin were hiding.
The presence of Mana using the Storage skill of Mifumi-sama's Storage_Bracelet to release her Art_Phone to take some pictures attracts the attention of the Golden_Golem.
...CLICK!...SHUTTER!...CLICK!...SHUTTER!...
With the attention of the Golden_Golem getting focused on Mifumi-sama, I immediately came out of my hiding spot to ready my attack.
I remove the Iron_Bullets that are currently loaded in my Double-Barrel_Shotgun and store them back inside the Storage skill of my Slime_Watch. At the same time, release the Mithril_Bullets and reload them in my Double-Barrel_Shotgun.
All of those complicated actions happened in just a second.
After all, reloading is the second most important skill next to marksmanship for a Magic_Gun user like me.
...BANG!...BANG!..
I aimed my Double-Barrel_Shotgun towards the Golden_Golem's right arm and consecutively fired both Mithril_Bullets to detach its arm.
Once the Golden_Golem's right arm has been disarmed, I will swiftly approach where it would land and immediately store it inside my Storage skill...
...CLANG!!!...
"Uh-huh?..."
...TREMBLE!...TREMBLE!...TREMBLE!...
""Vier / Vier-chan!.. Run for your life!""
.
.
.
.
.
What the heck just happened?
Was using a Mithril_Bullet not enough?
Was the amount of Mana I put too small?
Was the Explosive spell engraved in the bullet case too weak?
Why the heck do my Mithril_Bullets bounce off as if like they were made of rubber?
"...Rock_Blast!..."
...BAMMM!...
"Lightning_Beast Form - Lighting_Ball..."
...BOOM!...
Mifumi-sama launched a big boulder of rock towards the Golden_Golem with her Land_Magic skill. While Felin used another form of her Sub-Spirit Magic to attack the Golden_Golem with a ball of lighting. Both of their attack are powerful but they're still unable to break the Magic_Barrier which is protecting the Golden_Golem.
While Mifumi-sama and Felin are trying to get the attention of the Golden_Golem and give me some cover, I immediately run back inside the ruined building and make my way towards both of them.
"We're running, Mifumi-sama, Felin!"
"Mhm!... Rock_Blast!..."
"Lighting_Ball!..."
"Explosion_Grenade!..."
...BOOMMM!!!...
With another attempt to slow down the Golden_Golem, we make a run towards a corner of a ruined building.
Since Golems are slow, we can lose that Golden_Golem after taking that corner...
...BAMMM!!!...
"""Ehh?!..."""
What the heck!... Giant debris came flying and landed towards the corner of the ruined building we were heading to.
Is the Golden_Golem that smart to predict where we are going and block our path?
Either way, it's not important now. After all, the Golden_Golem is throwing another giant debris towards our group.
"Rock_Blast!..."
...BAMM!...
Mifumi-sama tried to stop the giant debris by intercepting it with her Land_Magic skill. She was unable to stop the giant debris heading our way. However, its collision with the boulder changed the direction of the giant debris and it landed away from our group.
With its attack failing to reach us, the Golden_Golem grabbed another giant debris for another attempt at throwing an attack.
"What are we going to do, Vier-chan, Felin-chan?"
Mifumi-sama is already starting to panic. After all, she's the only one who can intercept the throwing attack of the Golden_Golem.
But that is the best that she could do.
My Mithril_Bullet was unable to penetrate the Magic_Barrier of the Golden_Golem. Felin's magic attack with her lighting and Mifumi-sama's physical attack with her Land_Magic skill failed as well.
If both magical and physical attacks didn't work, then what else can we do?
Should I try using poison or something else?
"Argh!... Let's just throw everything and see if anything could work!... Release!..."
I released all of my Magic_Grenades, Fire, Poison, Sound, and Explosion_Grenade, and told Felin and Mifumi-sama to start throwing them toward the Golden_Golem.
They don't need great skill in controlling their Mana to use my Magic_Grenade. After all, it can be used as easily as griping a lever and throwing it towards the enemy.
...SCREECHHH!!!...BURST!!!...BOOMMM!!!...
After throwing all of those Magic_Grenades towards the Golden_Golem, something started to happen.
The Golden_Golem loses its grip dropping the giant debris on the ground and losing its balance as it drops on its knees. It also shows an awkward response like it was having a rough time just moving its body.
With this, we can definitely make our escape...
...BAMMM!!!...
However, as if driven into a corner, the Golden_Golem did another unexpected attack.
The Godlen_Golem keeps on smashing its arms into the ground making the ground, from where the Golden_Golem is keeling towards to where we are hiding, break, and collapse.
...BAMMM!!!...
"""AAAHHHHH!!!..."""
Mifumi-sama, Felin, and I... Along with the Golden_Golem falls into depths of the underground beneath the ruined city of the concrete skyscrapers.
