Rae couldn’t use [Shadow Step] to move faster, as the other spiders were unable to use it. But they were insanely fast, rushing through the tunnel at over a hundred kilometres an hour, despite the somewhat cramped confines.
"Now, we go find the other one for ourselves. Do you know what one we get?"
"An Earth Golem, we think. It feels like stone magic. The team on the right is fighting a manticore, and the spiders get a giant worm."
"A manticore? I was told that it was a chimera."
The dryad shrugged, her vine whip waving. "It is a Manticore, the scorpion tail gives it away. Perhaps they’re just dumb?"
Karl couldn’t rule that out.
"Alright, we need to hurry, or the Obsession Demons and their team will beat us."
The dryads laughed at the thought, and Karl found himself grabbed by vines as the tunnels blurred around him. The dryads were just as fast as he was, and they knew where they were going, so there was no need to slow down to check for signs of the boss.
The tunnels didn’t get any smaller as they went, thought they turned to rough mining tunnels, instead of the formed walls of whatever ruined city this dungeon was based upon.
That seemed odd to Karl, as it was a waste of energy to mine more than the actual veins and a path to the next one.
And then the boss came in sight.
Fully thirty metres tall, the Earth Golem was so close to breaking through to Supremacy that Karl could feel its aura becoming unstable.
No wonder everyone struggled with this thing.
The dryads whipped out thorns to wrap up the boss, barbs tearing at the surface of the boss, while the vines tried to physically tear the Earth Golem apart.
With a rumble, the boss grabbed a handful of vines and whipped them around, causing the dryads to go flying around the room until they released the spell.
Even fourteen on one, their vines weren’t strong enough to outmatch the pure power of the Golem.
And that was what the System called it. {Earth Golem}, though Karl would have assumed that it was an Elemental, not some sort of rogue construct. This dungeon likely had some sort of lore behind it that he was unaware of, but he would look into it later.
Karl decided that he should be far enough from everyone else, so he took out the Blade of Champions and then activated [Blade of Divine Wrath] over it.
It coated the blade, creating a larger sword with the abilities of both, and the boss stumbled as the wave of [Oppression] hit it.
That gave the Dryads a chance to attack with a wave of [Thorn Darts], which pierced deep into the boss, and then began to sprout, cracking the stone of the Elemental’s surface. It was a truly nasty spell, and Karl could only imagine what would happen if that happened in a living target instead of a giant block of stone.
The dryads who had been tossed around the room pulsed with healing light as they rejoined the fight, and Karl decided to see just how good his new blade was.
It needed to actually hit the target, and not with a ranged skill, to activate.
