chapter 22
Chapter 022. my hand is weak
Kurrr-
As Aaron charged, the golem lowered his stance and spread his arms like a gatekeeper guarding a goalpost.
He seemed to think that he would escape through a crack in the wall without a fight.
‘It’s a problem if you’re too smart.’
The fight would have been much more difficult if the golem had swung its fist straight away, but waiting like that gave me more time.
Aaron paused, seemingly bewildered, then started running again, glancing between the golem’s legs.
Then I saw his arm move subtly downward.
It seemed that he would keep waiting, pretending not to know, and catch it the moment he tried to pass between his legs.
‘good.’
As expected, when he reached the bridge, the golem’s crotch narrowed in an instant, and hands flew in from both sides.
“Suck!”
Aaron lowered himself into the same running posture and jumped up.
Jjoong!
The golem’s hands collided like they were clapping, creating a strong shockwave.
“Kuk.”
Even though I dodged into the air, the goal rang and my eyes spun.
It was terrifying to think what would have happened if I had been caught in the middle.
tadak-
Aaron, who easily avoided the first attack, jumped up again using the golem’s hand as a stepping stone.
The target is the magic core on the left shoulder.
The golem, realizing his intention belatedly, reached out, but it was already too late.
Quadruped!
Fingers imbued with the power of the runes dug into the golem’s shoulder blades.
“… … !”
However, his fingers stopped right before they touched the magic core.
‘sh*t. It’s a mistake.’
The root of the problem was thinking that if you could break the boy’s rock, you could also break his body.
The golem’s body, created with complex magic, was several times harder than the stone fragments of its pupil.
“Ugh?”
Aaron, who somehow pushed his hand toward the magic core, frowned at the hard feeling that squeezed his back.
The golem’s hand, which had approached before he knew it, was grabbing him.
pududeuk-
The next moment, I felt a crushing pain in my pelvis and breaking ribs.
“Quaaagh!”
His eyes widened as if they would pop out, his mouth opened wide, and a desperate scream erupted.
Although his body was not damaged thanks to the runes, he could not stand the pain that was transmitted intact.
‘If I can’t break it now, it’s over.’
Aaron chewed his lips until they bleed and shot the mana core.
The blue orb, which seemed almost touchable, was shining brightly as if to poison those who tried to catch it.
Only 40% of the mental power consumed while preparing for the fight is over, but if you can’t finish here, defeat is a given.
Even if it escaped his grasp, he would not be able to seize this opportunity again.
I knew that if I used the rune again, my body would be destroyed, but I had to do it anyway.
There was no time to think.
“Turisaz!”
Good luck-
As I used the rune, my still hand gently dug into the golem’s shoulder.
Something warm and hard touched his fingertips.
[Spirit has decreased by 8%.]
[Body strength has exceeded the critical point.]
uh-
The body that had lost the rune’s power could no longer withstand the golem’s power.
His pelvis split, his back twisted, and shattered ribs dug into his lungs.
“Cool!”
Part of the crushed stomach turned into a clot of blood and protruded out of the mouth.
I wanted to scream out in agony, but even breathing was difficult with my body compressed like a deflated balloon.
thud. thud.
In my blurry vision, I caught the staggering figure of the golem.
At the same time, the power that was holding me down began to weaken.
Eventually, the strength in his hands was completely released, and his crumpled body fell to the ground.
“Cheer… … .”
I woke up on the ice-cold floor.
There was no feeling at all below the shoulders.
The only thing I could feel was my right arm aiming at the magic core.
I was afraid to look down.
‘Ragoose.’
[Consumes all mental power to heal injuries.]
[warning. Insufficient mental strength to heal injuries.]
[warning. Your sanity is less than 5%. Passes out after about 2 minutes.]
Recalling the language of runes, a little bit of energy came to my dying body.
I didn’t even want to be completely healed.
As long as I could just stay alive, that was enough.
Swish- Swish-
He moved his right arm and moved forward.
Even as his bones and organs were crushed and blood flowed out of his mouth incessantly, he moved to live.
coo kung!
how much did it move
The stumbling golem finally fell forward.
Aaron, who had been moving desperately, only then turned his head.
A golem’s head was visible at his feet.
If I had looked back even once, I would have been crushed to death by that head.
“Kuh… … Kkeuk… … .”
After a while. He fell face down on the floor and started laughing.
The pain was still intense enough to distract me, but that didn’t matter anymore.
The large hole near the shoulder of the fallen golem was especially visible.
[Your level has risen. (8→12)]
After defeating the golem, white letters appeared in front of him, and hot energy spread from the vicinity of his heart.
Awesome! Wood deok!
At the same time, the broken and twisted bones returned to their proper place, and the crushed internal organs rapidly grew back to their original state.
“Huh… … .”
Aaron rolled his eyes and trembled.
It was good until the level went up and the body was restored.
However, the pain of healing in a dying state was not something that could be endured with a sober mind.
The pain that seemed to have no end was over, and the pain that had been tormenting my body finally disappeared as if it had washed away.
[You have reached level 10.]
[The tutorial will be automatically skipped due to reaching the target level early.]
[You can now check the body detail status.]
[Now you can check your skills and descriptions.]
[Physical Information – Stamina: 100% / Mental Power: 100% / Muscular Strength: … … .]
[Possessed skills – … … .]
Before I could come to my senses, the dizzy type filled my vision.
“… … what?”
Aaron opened his eyes wide.
My head was confused by the sudden burst of information, but after reading it a few more times, everything was organized.
In Buffett, the period before level 10 is regarded as a tutorial section, and restrictions are placed on acquiring information or using goods.
The reason why the skill descriptions were so unkind and I couldn’t check the physical condition was because the settings were reflected.
[You can choose a job when you reach level 10.]
[You acquired Ancient Legacy before level 10. Classes are automatically selected due to the influence of ancient heritage (Turisaz, Raguz).]
[Job name – Rune Master (Hidden). Would you like to see the job description?]
Scary to understand the situation, the message came up again.
Aaron was not taken aback, read the typeface slowly, and then nodded.
“okay.”
[Job Name – Rune Master (Hidden)]
[The mastery level of the acquired rune is activated. Rune proficiency increase rate is fixed at maximum. Spirit consumption decreases when mastery increases.]
[You can enchant your weapon with the power of the rune. Enchantment can be done once a day and lasts about 1 minute. The number increases according to the user level.]
[caution. If the strength of the enchanted weapon is low, there is a risk of destruction.]
<Current Runes>
Turisaz (Lv. 1 – 23%)
– Significantly increases the user’s strength. The power varies according to the amount of mental energy consumed.
– Excessive use may cause body collapse.
Raguz (Lv. 1 – 2%)
– Heals the user or a designated target. The power varies according to the amount of mental energy consumed.
– Spirit consumption is doubled when healing someone other than yourself.
– Rapid Sleep: You can enter forced sleep at any time to recover your sanity. When entering sleep, you cannot wake up until your sanity is fully restored (approximately 1% sanity per 10 seconds).
“… … hahahaha.”
After checking all the information, Aaron smiled.
Rune Master. I’ve seen many hidden jobs so far, but this was the first job related to ancient heritage.
It seemed that the fact that he acquired the rune before level 10 had a big effect.
Serureung-
“Turisaz.”
Aaron drew his sword and held it in front of him, casting rune magic.
Then, a runic letter appeared at the root of the sword body, followed by a red haze covering the entire sword.
It looked as if a knight who had reached the level of a sword expert was displaying his sword skills.
“Hmm, good. Then where… … .”
Aaron raised his sword upside down and slammed it into the stone floor.
Quadruped!
The enchanted sword made a loud noise and sank into the stone floor.
“Wow, this is a thing.”
Aaron pulled the sword from the floor and inspected it for any damage.
Surprisingly, it was intact without a single black scratch.
Normally, the sword would have broken first without being able to overcome the strength of the stone, but it was hardened by the influence of the rune.
“young master!”
I was thinking of trying it one more time, but I heard a human voice behind the fallen golem.
Raast, who had come down the rope before he knew it, was entering the pupil over the open wall.
Aaron quickly canceled the enchantment on the sword.
Uh-ooh- Zeng!
Then the sword body buzzed and trembled, and soon it was split into dozens of pieces and scattered on the floor.
‘If the strength of the weapon is low, there is a risk of destruction.’
The warning message I saw during the job description flashed through my mind.
It seemed that this mass-produced sword could not stand the power of the rune.
“Are you okay?”
Rhaast, who had landed in the pupil, ran towards me and asked.
Aaron smiled and looked at him.
“It comes very quickly.”
“I came down as soon as I heard the explosion.”
Rhaast said as if it was unfair.
It was true.
He was sitting on the edge of a cliff, and as soon as he heard an explosion, he grabbed the rope and jumped down.
The distance to the pupil was quite far, so he arrived now, not because he was scared or lazy.
“By the way, what is that golem? Did you install it by yourself?”
“no. I dealt with it.”
Aaron explained everything with a calm expression.
“So, when I found the legendary elixir, that golem popped out from the floor, and the boy pulled out that mana core with his bare hands?”
“huh. It was lodged in my left shoulder.”
“… … I can’t believe it.”
Rhaast approached the fallen golem and inspected the place where the magic core was embedded.
As Aaron said, the place was messily broken, as if someone had ripped it apart.
“It’s kind of hard to say this to someone who serves you, but the young master is really a monster.”
Rhaast also knew what a golem was.
Even a golem the size of a man was strong enough to deal with a fair amount of knights, but it was difficult to predict what kind of power a golem of this size would have.
“Isn’t that a compliment?”
“Sure. It would have been difficult for me to defeat it alone.”
“If it were you now, that would be it.”
Aaron said in a meaningful voice.
“Without Maggie’s Syndrome, this tidying up wouldn’t be possible.”
“… … Did you really get the legendary elixir here? Can you really cure this disease?”
Rhaast approached him with impatience.
Aaron nodded as if it were natural.
“If you say it twice, it’s nagging.”
“Show me what the elixir is. How can something that isn’t even an elixir cause Magi Syndrome… … . What are you doing now?”
Raast suddenly looked at Aaron with both hands spread out and tilted his head.
“You want me to show you?”
“yes?”
“Legendary Elixir. You are showing it now.”
“… … Don’t make fun of me like this. I am really desperate.”
“Aren’t you kidding me? My hand is a weak hand.”
“Are you really going to do this? Are you mad at me?”
Rhaast spoke in a really angry voice and strode in front of Aaron.
widely-
Aaron grinned and put his hand on his shoulder.
“Raguz.”
As he uttered the runic language, a pale green light flowed through Rhaast’s armor.
“What are you doing now… … . Ugh! aaagh!”
Raast, who hesitated at the refreshing feeling that pierced his body, soon began to scream as he rolled to the floor.
