Chapter 10: Tutorial Cleared
* * *
I wasn’t able to catch up to Riff’s group. The golem’s movement speed was slower than I expected. By the time I brought down the other group, Riff’s group had already reached the entrance.
I gave up on my pursuit. The golem only having 2 health left was also a reason why I abandoned my pursuit. In the end, including the one person that got away in the beginning and Riff’s group, I wound up losing 6 people.
The 2nd fight was fierce. After ordering the golem to crouch down in a dark corner of the cavern――doing this made him look no different from a normal boulder――I hid behind a stalagmite. The golem ambushed the group the instant the adventurers were about to pass by. The surprise attack itself was a success. Two adventurers died within a minute.
“Why is there a monster left!?”
“Fuck, did he spawn naturally?”
The problem was what came next. Although the remaining three were also rookies, they must have faced monsters before. Through experience, they knew that they could fight back against a monster as long as they didn’t panic. Two of them guarded with their wooden shields and the other person attacked with his metal mace. The golem’s health dropped down quickly from the 6 it had originally.
I got nervous and revealed myself from behind the stalagmite. I decided to take a gamble because I was afraid that the golem might die. I shouted loudly in order to attract their attention.
“Aaaaah! Adventurers, a bunch of adventurers are coming!”
