I spent five hours with this resistance fight against the wooden Golem, all this time he kept hitting the barrier several times with all his might, many times the barrier was close to breaking but I quickly fixed the barrier using my mana.
At the start of the fight I wasn’t at my full strength anymore as I’d been fighting almost non-stop for days, but with what I was doing now I was continuously expending my mana and wouldn’t be able to keep things that way forever.
With my Aura, I knew what was happening inside the fireball so I realized that during those five hours this damn golem was regenerating continuously too, but its regeneration was slower than me using fire and corrosion skill at the same time to try to destroy him.
With that little by little, I noticed the monster’s body decreasing in size and I also noticed him losing body parts like the tendrils of vines on his back that were the first to disappear or his legs that were thinner than his arms.
After more than five hours had passed I noticed that the monster was no longer regenerating, its attacks became less and less frequent until it stopped completely, but it still wasn’t dead.
I had to wait another thirty minutes before his death was confirmed when I felt no more vital energy coming from him, when it was over I used my Aura to check the battlefield below.
As soon as I confirmed that there was no one below me and that there were no other monsters around, I undo my fire magic, the Mana barrier, and also deactivated the corrosion skill.
With that, the barrier disappears releasing an incredible heat wave to the surroundings as the fire begins to diminish until it completely extinguishes.
There were pieces of burnt wood falling and a lot of soot that looked like black snow from the way it was falling, plus I noticed a strange liquid falling, so I flew over there and collected this thick liquid in a jar made of red crystal.
I then start to descend to land where everyone was gathered, when I got there érica, Lilith and Hela were in their Human forms.
I looked around and didn’t see the people from the Elves village, there were only people from the Dungeon here, as I looked around, everyone gathered around me.
“You were the amazing master, I can’t believe you could defeat a Life Golem alone.” (Sophia)
“Life Golem?” (I)
“You didn’t know what you were facing?” (Sakura)
“I thought it was a high-level variant Wood Golem.” (I)
Sigh
“Master, a Wood Golem has a humanoid form, even the variants, they don’t have spider legs, sword blades and vine tentacles.” (Sophia)
“Besides, they wouldn’t even be half that colossal size.” (Sophia)
“If you didn’t recognize the monster, then how did you know how to defeat him?” (Vanessa)
“I didn’t know how to defeat it at first, he was strong, incredibly tough for something made of wood and his regeneration was a bad joke that frustrated me at first.” (I)
“But as I thought I was a Wood Golem, I thought about destroying its core, but I didn’t know where the core was, so I thought about destroying its entire body, so sooner or later the core would also be destroyed.” (I)
“…” (all)
Sigh
“You thought right, at least that explains why you put so much effort when there were different ways to fight.” (Sophia)
“What were those ways?” (I)
“You could use the element of Darkness to corrupt his body, you could also have used poison or curse, a Life Golem is weaker to these things than it is to fire.” (Sophia)
“He also has a lot of resistance against physical attacks, magic power, and Ki.” (Sophia)
“But he is weak against attacks using spirit energy.” (Sophia)
“There is no information of an attack by this Golem for over 1000 years in this village, from the information I know, in the past it took more than 100 of the strongest in the village to defeat a single Life Golem.” (Sophia)
“But today the master defeated a Life Golem alone, really amazing.” (Sophia)
“…” (I)
“(You must be kidding me, I spent hours doing that when I could have just used a dark spiritual runes?)” (I)
“Why didn’t anyone warn me?” (I)
“You seemed to be doing well in the fight, we didn’t think it was necessary.” (Ivan)
“Don’t look at me, I wouldn’t know what that thing was.” (Layla)
Sigh
I can’t believe I didn’t try to use spiritual power against it, now that I think I didn’t even try to understand the monster’s weaknesses, as it was made of wood I just assumed fire was its weakness.
“Why was that Golem’s name known as the Life Golem?” (I)
“This type of monster is very peaceful and spreads life energy around, it usually appears as a Holy Beast or a Guardian of the forests.” (Sophia)
“That didn’t look friendly and peaceful as it attacked me.” (I)
“Monsters that spawn in an Annual Monster Wave are often very aggressive, it’s best to kill them if possible.” (Sophia)
“It must have been hard to maintain that gigantic magic the whole time, how are you?” (érica)
“My mana is below 2000, but I’m still able to fight a little longer if I have to.” (I)
“Are you all okay? What happened to the other monsters?” (I) .𝘤𝑜𝑚
“Everyone is dead, we were resting while we waited for you to finish your fight.” (Nix)
“I spent hours there and didn’t pay much attention to the surroundings, weren’t there any more attacks from the wave of monsters?” (I)
“No, everything was pretty quiet for a few hours, I think the monster wave is over.” (Freya)
“Good thing our Mages are exhausted, we also didn’t have any more ritual magic to use.” (Rakan)
“Potion stock is low, I’ve been using my skills to make the potions yield as much as possible.” (Lyra)
“Haven’t the village elves shown up yet? Are they fighting?” (I)
“I went to check it out a few hours ago.” (Orion)
“They were fighting three Lesser Catastrophe Grade monsters, they seemed to be doing fine, so I went back and let them fend for themselves.” (Orion)
“If they didn’t need help, then you’re fine.” (I)
It looks like it’s over, so I use my lines to create a hammock using two nearby trees and lie down to rest.
