Act 1: Chapter 11: Golem Leveling

Act 1: Chapter 11: Golem Leveling

I tightly grasped 《The Fool’s Magical Sword》 and followed after Lunaire who was leaving the small hut.

「Earth Magic, 6th Rank 《Sand Puppet》」

Lunaire hoisted her arm.

A magical circle appeared and the surrounding soil gathered together to form a headless humanoid statue.

「GO-GO———-OOOOOOOO! 」

The clay doll raised its arms along with a loud roar.

「This is a golem.」

「It’s the same clay doll that was with you and the one that was made when you were tidying up your hut right, Master?」

「You.. saw that? 」

Lunaire glared at me with a sullen expression on her face.

I immediately shut my mouth.

C-Crap….. I made a verbal slip about me peeping on her sweeping her hut, a secret which I’d decided to bring with me to my grave that was for the best of us.

「J-Just a little, from the crack between the door. I definitely just saw a glan-eh, were you in the middle of sweeping your hut? 」

Lunaire heaved a sigh as her expression went back to her usual cold and deadpan one.

「I was just tidying up the things that I took out before for my experiment. I-It’s definitely not for your sake, it’s just because those things are a hindrance to me.」

「R-Right! I understand! 」

… I guess I’ll keep it a secret, the fact that I saw her hurriedly sweeping the floor using the golem, for myself.

She was basically worrying too much about me.

I wonder… what could I do to pay back her kindness even if it’s just a little?

「Anyway, I adjusted their strength so that you may easily be able to beat them even with your current level.」

Lunaire pointed at the golem head with her finger.

There she wrote, Level 10.

Ooo, easy to understand…

Just in case, let’s confirm its status with 《Status Check》.

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Race :Golem

Lv :10

HP :34/34

MP :24/24

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

This thing was docile compared to the other monster in this labyrinth.

Though I felt relieved once I checked its status, once I calmed down, I realized that this golem is still more powerful than the current me.

Even though I might be able to beat it with my equipped sword, its strength and speed should be higher than mine.

「Earth Magic, 4th Rank 《Bind》」

Lunaire chanted another spell.

And then, several earthen ropes flew from the magical circle binding the limbs of the golem.

「O-Ogo….! 」

Despite its resistance, the golem couldn’t free itself from the binding.

「Then, go ahead.」

「Y—Yes, thank you very much.」

Wa-wassn’t this… way too easy?

I closed in on the bounded golem really carefully and swung my sword to the side.

「GOOOO! 」

My sword easily tore the golem’s stone skin and sent it flying quite far away.

It then crashed against the wall.

My body was moving along the residual momentum of my swing and fell forward.

W-What power…..

As expected of the special power granted by Nyarlhotep and Co.

Though I was a bit skeptical when I looked at the numerical values of my status since it was a tad too low compared to the monster inhabiting this place, I recalled again the fact that what I held in my hands were cheat items.

… but, even though I was just swinging it, I ended up with a sore shoulder with just one swing of this sword.

I stood up and brushed off the soil that stuck to my clothes after that fall.

Then, I felt a fever-like sensation bursting forth from within my body.

When I used 《Status Check》 on myself, I saw that my level was raised to level 3.

Y-YAHOOO….. I AM GETTING STROOONGEEEER!

I noticed that my leveling growth rate seemed slow when considering the level difference between me and the golem. However, it was only because my contribution was considered minimal thanks to Lunaire binding the golem’s movements.

「Master, it seems my level has risen just now! 」

When I looked at Lunaire, I saw countless numbers of magical circles around her.

「《Sand Puppet》」

Twenty golems appeared around Lunaire.

All of them were labeled with “Level 10”.

「Let’s keep going at this pace. Since you’re slashing with your sword just now, next is training to conserve your stamina.」

I looked at the sword in my hand.

C-Can my arm… survive this?

N-Nonono, Lunaire went all out for the sake of my training after all.

I… definitely shouldn’t act like a spoiled child in front of her!

— Ten Minutes Later—

…. I somehow managed to defeat all of those golems one hour later.

I defeated the golems whose movements were sealed by Lunaire with 《Bind》 one by one.

My level was raised to 10.

Though I felt a slight recoil on my arms, the fatigue was gradually piling up on them over time.

M-My arms are trembling.

I ended up dropping my sword and fell as I leaned over to pick up my sword.

「Are you okay? For you to be this tired…. The current me hardly feels tired, I might have a hard time understanding your limit. That’s why you should tell me when you feel tired.」

Lunaire approached me.

「M-My bad….」

This might be my limit today.

My body felt as heavy as lead, and I’m so tired.

Physical fatigue aside, I noticed that I’m also exhausted mentally.

Lunaire crouched down beside me as she brought her face closer.

「May I… touch you? You’re allowed to refuse, if you don’t want to be touched, understand? 」

「……? Naturally you can, there’s no need to ask you see.」

W-What’s with this shyness of hers?

C-Could it be that she felt inferior for being a lich?

Lunaire heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing my words and then, ever so slightly, she gulped.

She then stretched out her hand towards my arm, and then timidly brushed her hand against my skin. It was gentle as if to ascertain the feeling of my skin with her slender fingers.

I-It’s… Ticklish.

I noticed that this ethereal-like beauty’s face was flushed.

Eh, wasn’t she basically as red as a ripe tomato right now?

Lunaire suddenly pulled her hand away from me with a surprised look on her face as she shook her head in confusion.

「M-My apologies, d-did you feel nervous when I touched you just now…」

「Y-Yeah, your arm seems to be swollen. It seems you can’t continue your training for today,」

Lunaire said with a slightly shrill voice.

… my level should’ve been raised in the most efficient method but, it seemed that I was more exhausted than I expected.

In fact, raising my level to 10 in one day might be an amazing achievement but… I don’t think this increase was satisfying after seeing those monsters that are over level 1000 level monsters.

「Time-Space Magic, 23nd Rank 《Retrograde》」

Lunaire chanted another spell.

My body was enveloped by the white light that was surging forth from the white magical circle.

The pain in my body disappeared as that light enveloped my whole body.

Now that she used this magic on me again for the fourth time today, I’ve become used to it.

This is amazing magic that healed the target by reversing part of karma.

W-With this, my body could move again.

「Thank you very much….」

「《Sand Puppet》」

Twenty golems appeared around Lunaire.

This time “Level 20” was carved on the forehead of the golem.

「Now, Let’s continue.」

My eyes flickered once, and then twice.

E-Eh, could it be that my leveling training…… Has yet to end?

Though my physical fatigue was cured, to be honest my mental fatigue was quite severe as well.

Suddenly, I recalled the words Lunaire had said a while ago.

『For you to be this tired…. The current me hardly feels tired, I might have a hard time understanding your limit. That’s why, do tell me properly if you feel tired.』

Now I realized what she meant. 𝘧𝘳ℯ𝓮𝘸𝓮𝑏𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝘮

S-Since this person is such a high leveled lich, she… basically couldn’t feel tired at all….

I… stopped short before I was about to tell her to stop. I decided to continue my training.

I mean, Lunaire allotted a lot of her time just for the sake of training me.

But, she interrupted me just before I swung my sword, for only God knows how long until I reached a desirable level.

「Could it be that you… are already spent for today? 」

「N-No, not at all! I’m okay, my body can still move! 」

I replied to Lunaire.

I’ll push through with guts!

My body should be okay, I’m sure of it.

… my sword swinging stance is bad and even if my status has risen, Level 20 golems were far tougher than Level 10 golems. Thus, the accumulated fatigue also doubled.

By the time I defeated it, my body was assaulted by muscle pain.

And, after I finished that regiment of “Level 20” golems, I……… was surrounded by level 30 golems.
