Jerald then approached the Iron Lizard corpse and carefully dismantled its useful parts.
"20x iron scales, 5x nails, 10x teeth, 15x lizard meat—this should do for the moment." Jerald then stashed all of the dismantled body parts into his inventory. As Jerald stretched his body parts, seemingly tired after dismantling the huge corpse of the Iron Lizard, he then once again began his exploration of the cave to find his way out.
"Okay! Let's start!" Jerald then walks all around the cave, looking for the exit by following his system map. By looking at his system map, he has crossed out many paths that lead to a dead end. He then keeps on exploring the new and dark parts of the cave.
"Whew, a total of 12 paths have already been excluded from my map. I should head to the next path; maybe it will be the one leading me to the exit of this cave." Jerald then walked onto a very rocky path; it was cramped unlike the others, but it was manageable.
"Ugh, this is going to give me claustrophobia." As Jerald successfully crossed the cramped and rocky path, he saw three more paths, one leading to the left, one to the right, and one to the middle. Jerald wonders which path will be the correct one to enter.
"I should go left. It has a much more spacious entrance compared to the others; maybe this could be the exit for me; even if it isn't well, I can follow my map and just go back and pick another path." Jerald then decides to enter the spacious entrance of the left path, and as he walks further in, the cave walls become wider and more spacious than before; they have increased from 5 meters to 12 meters high.
"Hmm, I got a real bad feeling on this." As Jerald continued to walk further, he was led into a 50-meter-wide and 60-meter-tall enclosed space, and there he saw a 20-meter-tall giant golem sleeping.
"Yup, fu*k this, I'm outta here." As Jerald began to head back slowly, he looked back at the sleeping 20-meter-tall golem and saw a golden chest beside it.
"Well...if it's in a gold chest, then it's probably something valuable; I might need it, so better take a risk now." Jerald, tempted by his greed, began to circle the sleeping golem quietly, and as he was about to open the chest, suddenly the golem woke up and started attacking Jerald.
"I knew it; I shouldn't have been so greedy!" Jerald tries to run away from the golem, but the golem's arm comes crashing onto the ground, obliterating the surrounding area and pushing Jerald all the way to the cave walls (240- Hp).
"Ah Fu*k!" Jerald's right eye glows red, showing the Golems status screen.

The Earth Golem belongs to the Fysist race, a race compiled of nature-made or birthed beings. Golems are usually formed through the compression of dense masses of mana in a certain area, meaning they can be man-made and used as puppets. Earth Golems have high defense and are very durable, but their limbs and joints are very fragile from all the unbearable weight.
(Difficulty: Very Hard)
----------------------------------
"Oh, now that my "Eyes of the Privilege" leveled up, I can see the difficulty of my enemies; useful, but let's focus on the situation right now." Jerald quickly puts the golden-coated chest inside his inventory; this made the golem furious and more wild. It seems that it was made for the sole purpose of protecting the golden chest. The Earth golem jumped to protect the golden chest, the Earth golem jumped to smash him. Jerald used Air shot onto the wall near him pushing him with great speed, leading him to safely dodge the golems huge attack.
"That looked like a freaking meteorite; I would be one shot if I took it head-on." Jerald then hastily runs, desperate to head out of the Golem's range.
The Earth Golem then punched the ground, picking up a huge piece of stone and throwing it to Jerald.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" he shouted like a bit*h seeing the huge rock flung into the air.
The rock then came crashing down, making the entire area filled with dust. The Earth Golem came closer to check if Jerald was still alive. Not seeing its corpse, the Golem started to look for Jerald, expecting that he was still alive, but Jerald, on the other hand, is currently hiding in the golem's shadow by using the additional skill <Hide > of the Black shade cloak.
"Now I have a minute to get out of this place." Jerald then carefully attempts to walk out of the Earth Golem's area. While he tries to sneak his way out, the Golem becomes furious, not being able to see Jerald's dead corpse, making the golem wreak havoc everywhere, flinging stones and its huge arms all around the area. Jerald tries to dodge but still gets hit by some stones, -50 Hp.
"Ahhh, that hurts!" As he got up, the skill <Hide > had lost effect. The Golem saw Jerald and charged at him while making a shouting sound.
"Grarahhhggg!" As the golem heads in Jerald's direction, Jerald then throws out 5 low-grade firestones to the incoming golem's path, blasting its face directly, (-12,000 HP) the golem flinched for a moment from the recent explosion, giving Jerald the chance to quickly head out of the area, but the golem tries to chase Jerald, not giving a care even though its face is wrecked and destroyed. As they both head further into the cave, the cave walls begin to slowly shrink. Jerald then arrives in an 8-meter-high and wide path where the golem's arm got stuck and after a while the golem gave up on chasing Jerald.
"Not even close, BABY!" He shouted out of relief and joy while holding his knees, breathing heavily because of excessive running.
