“GRAAAAAAAAH!!!”
Nina used her battered Berserk Sword to repulse a crystal golem, sending it crashing into another golem behind it. It definitely seemed to take damage; yes, letting them swarm was the right move.
Clarice had also deactivated her barrier and was now showering their allies with Healing Magic.
(Because light magic flies from the golems’ eyes.)
At our current levels, instant death wasn’t a concern, and Nataira was unleashing a barrage of Healing Magic. With double healing, we were in perfect condition. Even if someone died, Gotchan (Goddess Succubus) had resurrection magic.
(This allows the attacking party to focus on the strategy.)
“HAAAAAAA enti-SU!!”
Helen manipulated the succubi, having Ent-Succubus En and White Frontbeard Hoffbe lift golems and slam them into others. Silver Succubus Sil-neechan, the swiftest of them all, expertly dodged the golems’ blows, deliberately making them hit other golems behind them…
“I see, then I shall too!”
Ah, Nastasia had started to imitate them! As expected of a Hero Assassin, her movements were dazzling. A golem’s punch landed on another golem’s face, cracking it slightly.
(Yes, if we repeat this, we can win!)
Daku-chan used her Dark Magic to obscure the golems’ vision, sowing confusion and encouraging them to fight each other. In such situations, the Bard would offer support with song skills. Kaumi, who was skilled in suggestive songs, had switched her instrument to something like an abacus, making it easier to stop the enemies appropriately and turn them into targets for friendly fire.
(A weapon skill that occasionally stops enemy movement; is it a weapon or an instrument?)
It was apparently a tool for calculation.
But putting that aside, the other succubi protected the Bard, while Helen herself used her whip to change the golems’ direction, causing them to hit each other. Well done.
“Ah, I’ll go for that one!”
With that, I leaped out from Nina’s chest using the Hero Skill ‘Bound Attack,’ charged at a golem, and used the recoil to return to Nina’s chest—she caught me securely. The golem then collided with another golem, and ah, it shattered! Finally, we defeated one properly!
(It felt like a level 100 skill, though my body aches a little.)
Then, from far away, light magic targeted me! Nina blocked it with her Berserk Sword. She leaped up and headed for the swarm of golems in the back…!!
“IT’S YOUUUUUUUUU!!”
I slashed the golem emitting light magic from its eyes horizontally and sent it crashing into the neighboring golem! Yes, that one also broke beautifully. Then a magic stone popped out… it felt like a mix of a light magic stone and an earth magic stone.
(An earth magic stone… could it be!!)
No, more importantly!!
“HOW RUDE, SO COCKY!!”
The golems were getting angry too. Even with intelligence enough to speak, humans were still smarter.
“Hindrance!!”
Nastasia slashed at a green, round monster that flew towards us. Its name was ‘Marimo Express’! It had bothered us many times before, but it was too fast to hit. Finally.
“Ah, ahhhhhhh!!”
Nataira let out a strange cry as she adjusted her crooked Appraisal Glasses. Nina asked with a hint of worry.
“What is it?”
“The experience points from that enemy are incredible. With that, Otuha-san reached level 90!!”
“What? Did you learn something new?”
“Yes, the Bard Skill ‘Everyone Be Friends,’ which greatly increases the Taming probability!!”
Otuha nodded and, while playing a beautiful melody with her mini harp, Helen began to tame the damaged golems…!!
“Guh… GUAAAAAAAAAA….. PLEASE TREAT ME WELL FROM NOW ON….”
It seemed she managed to tame one!
“Alright, go ahead!”
“Hahahaha!”
Oh, it then proceeded to punch another golem!
“YOU, BETRAYED ME?!”
“ENEMY DETECTED, ENEMY DETECTED, DESTROYING.”
And so, one by one, we tamed them. We had successfully gained seven as allies. I thought there was only one left… but wait, could we only tame up to eight at a time? If so…
“You damn shotacons!!”
Including that fluffy person over there, who was gleefully swinging a golem and smashing it into other golems—we couldn’t tame any more. If I dismissed them, they might wander off. As we controlled the Crystal Intelligence… golems and defeated the enemies…!!
“Hey, the back is opening up!!”
*Goooogogogogo…*
The large palace-like building deep within the ruins; its doors seemed to have opened. There were still enemies left, but then, black golems started to emerge one after another!!
“What is that?! Helen, Nataira!!”
“…It’s named the ‘Last Guardian Golem’.”
“According to my appraisal, it’s ‘heavier and harder than any other golem’!”
Ugh, I wonder if we can use the strategy of making them collide with each other?
“What are its weaknesses?”
“Yes, ‘it cannot get up if it flips over’.”
“Then let’s collapse the ground!!”
And so, we defeated it easily.
(Honestly, why did it even show up…)
Thus, we entered the palace…
“WAIT! INSIDE, THE MASTER ISSSS HEREEEEEEE!!”
En carried away a golem that clung to us and threw it away.
(The Master? I wonder what kind of imposing golem it is??)
You’d think that, right? However, what awaited us inside was a surprisingly unexpected golem!!!
