It was finally night.
The last huge boar monster that Nathan managed to kill fell lifelessly to the ground with a loud boom.
Above it, standing like a fearsome god of death, Nathan's golem body stood completely still.
"Is it over already?"
Nathan looked around and found that all the monsters he had fought against were lying on the ground.
The golem couldn't feel anything, but the heavy exhaustion he felt mentally really made him reluctant to make another move.
"I am so exhausted."
Nathan dropped his golem body to the ground, among the grass that instantly covered his plant body.
He could only imagine himself gasping for breath.
Nathan looked at the moon with his golem eyes. He instantly felt peace as the moonlight shone on his body.
Luna hovered over his plant body. She clapped and smiled.
"Congratulations, Master Nathan, level 34."
Nathan nodded slowly and smiled in his mind.
"How many monsters did I kill? 15? 17? And 3 levels in a day? Does this mean I can also reach level 50 in this dungeon?"
Luna chuckled at Nathan's question. "If you find a bunch of hidden bosses, it's possible that you will reach level 50, Master."
After some time, he lifted his body and sat down. He turned to his left arm, hoping there was a Hunter Device there that could tell him his stamina status, but of course, he found nothing.
He raised his head to face Luna. "Tell me, Luna, what will happen when I return to my body? Will I be in a state of full stamina?"
Luna shook her head. "Although using the golem's body won't reduce your original Mana and Energy, your willpower will still decrease. So you can't really fight endlessly in this body, Master. The golem also had limited Mana and Energy. If you continue to force it, this golem will run out of energy and stop moving."
"I was expecting too much by asking that question, hehe."
After some time, Nathan felt he had recovered a little from his fatigue.
"What am I going to do tonight?"
Luna sat on her crescent moon, raising her eyebrows at Nathan's question.
"I forgot to ask for an explanation about something before, Luna. What will happen to me if someone finds my real body and beheads me?" Nathan instantly felt his body stiffen. An attack of anxiety immediately enveloped him.
"With the Emergency Escape skill you have, your body will be able to avoid such an enormous threat. But that is when the cooldown is available. However, if you are still able to move freely, that means your body is still safe, Master. Even if someone were to hurt you, you would easily feel it, and you can choose to return to your body when you feel something wrong with your body." Luna explained.
Nathan nodded slowly at Luna's explanation. "However, I'm still a little worried. If there's Fang or if I have another spirit beast, it would be better since I can ask them to guard my real body."
Luna nodded quickly.
Nathan fell silent again. His head was filled with too many things, things that even bothered him when he was fighting against monsters.
At that moment, he was thinking about the most optimal strategy he could take to defeat his two enemies in that place.
"I was thinking about creating a skill that can increase my fighting potential by exchanging gold or monster cores as offerings." Nathan opened the topic to Luna.
Luna only answered by nodding her head. "Then, Master?"
"However, I'm not so sure if this is the right choice to take. Because if, for example, I fail to get the skill I wanted and instead waste one of my very useful skill slots, it would make my condition even worse." He continued.
Nathan stared at Luna quietly for a moment.
"I was also thinking of skills relating to poison. However, I don't really know my opponents' strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, this step also has risks."
Nathan shook his head, feeling trapped in his own thoughts.
"Fighting Zander with speed and raw damage is certainly not the right choice. Because I believe he far surpasses me in both aspects."
He was silent for a moment, still deep in thought. "The only strategy I can take is to take advantage of his carelessness and attack him with The Sword of Disidia."
Luna just nodded at Nathan's statement.
"However, it's also risky because Marco could harm me if my total stats had to be drastically reduced because of the side effects of using the sword."
Nathan dropped his body back to the ground. He had not found the answer to what he should do to fight his two enemies.
"Do I need to provoke Zander to fight this golem? To find out how he fights?"
Nathan closed his eyes. "I'll take a break first and think about it once my mind is clear."
***
Marco Frey.
In the same place, in the hills, where it was easier to observe most areas of the forest.
Although the moon that night shone brightly, making the surface of the forest with its wild trees seem to be drenched by bright light, that was not what happened to Marco.
There was a loud moan behind the trees, which were covered with shadows.
After some time, a man emerged from the night's shadows, Zander, with his usual annoying eyes and face hidden behind his skull mask.
He spat on the ground, correcting his untied belt, and then walked away to the boulder. He lifted his telescope and went back to find out where the golem he had been monitoring all day was.
"Tch." He clenched his fists and threw the telescope to the ground.
"This damn brat is a complete waste of my time."
He sat on the boulder and stayed there.
Marco Frey, prone on the ground behind the trees that covered him with darkness, was staring at Zander with his piercing gaze. He just stayed still, didn't move, as if all his strength had been drained.
'I'll kill you!' Marco cursed in his mind.
Even though he only said it in his mind, it was actually filled with determination. He said it with the sincerity of his soul.
'I will make you regret it. I will make your life and death restless!' He clenched his fists.
'I will tear your body apart and destroy everything you own, everything you care about!'
Marco was silent in the same place for a long time. He put his head on the ground and didn't move an inch.
After some time, he lifted his body and leaned against the tree.
He closed his eyes, and his vision instantly returned to his spirit beast's body.
Marco could easily see and catch movement on the ground, even at night. His concentration and mind were very focused that night. He was very settled and confident that he could do whatever he wanted and planned.
'Nathan, where are you hiding your real body?' Marco said in his mind.
'I've been to nearby caves to find where he might hide his body. But I didn't find a single cave that meets the requirements.'
The eagle spirit beast could easily see Nathan's golem body lying on the ground.
'Nathan, where would I hide my real body if I were you?'
Marco tried to think of all the possibilities he could come up with by imagining what Nathan would do.
'A place that is difficult to reach by the monsters that inhabit this place. A place that will not arouse suspicion, a place that will not leave a trace easily to others.'
Marco's spirit beast spread its wings wide. It swooped in the air and immediately flew away. There was one place he was going.
'Yes, I'm pretty sure.'
The eagle flapped softly as it got close to a tree that stood the tallest among the others. With a light flutter, the eagle landed on a tree branch large enough to accommodate a human there.
The eagle walked slowly on the branch of the tree until it stopped, unable to go on as though it was being blocked by something.
'Hi Nathan, I found you.' Marco said, smiling.
The eagle jumped lightly; after that, its body floated as if it had landed on a transparent object.
Even though the place was very dark because it was covered by thick leaves, Marco slowly found Nathan's body in his camouflage position.
'I hope you return to this body soon before you regret it.'
