Master Of None

Chapter 2383: 2383. Forming Golems

The increase in temperature surprised Su. She had not expected that she would feel it at all. Especially since she had changed armors to a more fire resistant armor prepared for her. It was just a smart method to keep her prepared and also mindful of what each armor felt like when she wore it.

The comfort of her in each new armor would be important while fighting. If she was not comfortable then she might make a mistake. Or if there was an issue with an armor not moving properly with her body, she could find herself being harmed when trying to defend. At the worst case, she could be too slow to protect someone.

Her fire mana resistance was very high. Naturally, she should have been able to make sure that her body resisted the heat. But even with this fire resistant armor, the heat was wearing away at her more than expected.

This wasnʼt the simple fact that the fire and magma around was hot. She wasnʼeven even approaching the major rivers of lava yet. Instead, it was something that was causing her body to react more than normal.

”The weight.” Su stopped and stretched a little before focusing on the feeling her muscles were under.

She had focused herself on the fact that the armors she had received were for resisting certain element manas. She also knew that this would mean she could equip certain pieces like the gauntlets only or the boots only to build a set if she was able to learn how to use the magic equipment skill better.

What Su had not taken account of was the longer term effects of using these armors. The weight of the fire resistant armor was important. It had been made thicker to resist the heat and allow for there to be denser rune formations that would force the fiore mana away from her as a whole. This meant that the weight added another set of stress on her body which was causing her to feel hotter.

It was also wearing away at her stamina in general. The results of which were her feeling the heat more as well. Her body wasnʼt being kept in an optimal condition due to the extra wear and tear of movement. ”I might have to have this adjusted.”

While Su focused on what she might have to have changed, she realized that there was some activity near her. The small crackling or rocks as they were broken made it feel that there might be another beak in the ground where lava might begin to flow.

What she did not expect to see were small round smoldering rocks starting to pull their way out of magma pools. ”All around appraisal scrolls.” Su grabbed one of them from the new and amazing medallion she had just gained. She found that having near a hundred all around appraisal scrolls was nothing in the grand scheme of her unique spatial storage now.

ʼSmoldering gollette

This is a smaller form of a smoldering magma golem. It is rare and hard to find but has been increasing in numbers due to the changes in mana flow within the depths of magma. They are normally peaceful creatures when left alone, however, they are sometimes territorial since they must eat metals and other molten ores to keep growing their bodies.

They can grow in to a myriad of forms but are often found in smaller round forms with roughly connected half melted rock and alloy arms and legs. They have a molten core and are easily broken. Their bodies can be very valuable but also fairly heavy due to their bodies being made of denser molten metals and rocks.

When they are fighting they often release sparks and shattered stone and metal. They prefer to remain partially within the magma pools they feed on because it allows them to move more easily. If they are outside of them for too long they could become a small lava rock golem…ʼ

Su read how these monsters would not be much of a threat to her. They were also growing in numbers due to the fact that the mana flow deep in the magma was changing. Most likely this was all due to the fact that the world was returning to mana flow and would keep changing. Meaning that this could and most likely would become one of the more prevalent monsters in this area.

She knew that this was not a bad thing at all.

The ores and metals, and rocks, and whatever else they consumed to make their bodies would become immensely valuable materials for harvest. So while Su equipped two dark black shields with higher fire resistances, she thought of the value she was getting from these.

The followers she had noticed her battle and watched as she leaped forward faster than the first smoldering gollette could even attempt to move. This was just because Su had trained to be able to do such things. Heavier armor or not, Su was able to use explosive force when moving in an instant to defend someone. Applying that to when she slammed a shield in to something, well, the first gollette shattered in an instant.

But that was where the followers trying to learn from Su made their own mistakes. They stopped observing their own surroundings and did not noticed the cracking the the ground nearby them. They had managed to make enough movement above them to alert their own potential foes.

Su felt the ground shake as she fought and felt that there might be something more dangerous. Her mind went right to another magma golem or a larger smoldering gollette. It made sense that some form of larger golem would be here where others were forming.

When she looked back, she caught sight of the soldiers in the distance that she recognized. They were clearly the ones that had fought for and with her before. But she didnʼt like that they were sitting right in front of what appeared to be a massive serpent golem.

ʼMagma river golem

This golem formed in a cooling magma river. As it cooled all the ores and mana flowed to the center and caused the other nearby magma pools to condense in to smoldering gollettes. As such, this is a powerful golem with a very dense fire and earth mana core within its head. It uses the serpent like form to smash and swim through the molten rock.

When consuming anything with dense fire and earth manas, it will often use that material to strengthen its body and core. If it manages to get ahold of enough earth and fire mana along with materials, its body can become more like a volcanic serpent golem which would be considered a ruler of a volcano in ancient times due to the defensive natural instincts it possesses to protect the volcano.

Some smaller races would even worship them as a god of an area.

Its body had extremely valuable ores, materials, and other things within since it will consume everything that has some heart and fire mana within them. That means that many other monster bodies often end up trapped and almost fossilized in its dense rocky body. This is why they can also be seen as a moving history golem…ʼ

She snarled as the understanding that this golem was actually the remains of what had once been a magma river below the lava fields. Now it was well awake and ready to grow as much as its natural instincts told it to. But worse yet, the less experienced soldiers she had helped train were right in its line of attack. Adding on to that, they were all holding up shields that could not and would not properly defend them.

The snarl and growl that broke the normal crackling and shifting of lava and magma was powerful enough to make even the smoldering gollettes instincts cause them to pause. It was a slow of mana and sheer power around Su.

The sudden growth in her dragon scales underneath her armor was her natural instincts to using more of her dragon half. That was the same as her wings flapped out and sent a large amount of force behind her. The stones beneath her feet cracked giving way for magma to ooze up from the ground.

The resounding crack as she slammed in to the head of the magma river golem was something that made the soldireʼs ears begin to ring. They had not seen or expected this amount of force. Enough that the fire resistant shields Su had held together were severely dented.

It was the damage to the dense and powerful magma river golem that surprised them. Half of its head had been cracked and shattered away. Showing off a semi molten core for them all to see.
