(7) The Goddess

My consciousness began to return little by little, until I reached the point where I could open my eyes.I was still leaning against the tree.

However, my body was starting to get better. I felt no pain, and my destroyed leg, for some reason, was filled with black mist.

-Am I not dead?

Looking up, it was a beautiful night.I've only seen one night in this world, but I didn't realize how beautiful it is, looking down on it.

-Could it be that someone helped me?...No, I don't see anyone around.

Looking up, the moonlight is pretty, but the light in my eyes bothers me. Something similar to what I felt about sunlight.

-Ah,there's a cloud covering that light...good

Just like I said, a cloud came in front of the light. At that moment, I started to feel even better, as if my energy had recovered more quickly.

-Wait...oh, now I understand.

I tried to focus the mist on my leg, and in a few seconds it had recovered. Getting up and dusting off my clothes, I say:

-Of course, my energy is literally the dark...That's why I was so weak in the light...

Considering I flew faster than an airplane for an entire night, I think I used up all the energy I absorbed in that place. That would explain why I got weaker during the battle.

It was just the sun coming up, and every move I made was expending tons of energy.

-So, in short, I lose energy in the light, and I gain energy in the dark? Obviously these powers would have a weakness, obviously.

The same feeling I had while flying, I was feeling now. I could feel all this energy around me, and absorb it into my body. Within minutes, I was completely refreshed.

-Yosh...time for the rematch.

With all that energy, I concentrated the mist to create another long hammer.

It seems that the more mist I focus on objects, the more resistant they become. So this time, I made the hammer a lot heavier.

However, I realized that the energy is not infinite. It seems that it circulates better during the night, spreads like air, but if I absorb too much, there is nowhere else to take it.

After everything is ready, I run at a much higher speed than before, going straight to the golem,before it activates.

-URYAAAAA!

*Boom*

With a jump, I hit the head of the damn statue this time...

It didn't break, but it cracked nicely.

-D-damage to the d-defense sys...tem d-detected, initiating th-threat containment p-protocol...

- YOU MOTHERFUCKER, CONTAIN THIS HERE!

Without any warning, I again swung the hammer down on the golem.

But this time he managed to defend himself.

-B-battle proficient intr...uder by chang...ing defense protocol to elimin...ation protocol...

-Not this time, walking stone.

Using the energy in the air, I give a boost while raising the hammer, to "deliver" another blow.

The golem defends again, but cracks its arm even more, which gives me the perfect opportunity. I create another hammer, with half the size of the main one

A hammer I can hold in one hand.

This time, the golem was already holding back an attack, so with a swing of the smaller hammer, the golem's arm shatters.

Taking this chance, I jump back .

-I don't have much time to think, that other thing will activate too, I need to get this over with.

Without the arm, he can no longer pick up the sword.

By the way, the entrance arch that he previously broke has been fixed...In fact, everything here has been fixed? Well...it doesn't matter now.

With all my strength, I throw the big hammer towards the golem. He raises his left hand, probably trying to grab my hammer,so I make the hammer disappear into thin air

With that, the golem is confused for a moment.

Now would be my chance to take a blow to the head...but I'm a man who holds a lot of grudges.

With a dash, I move to the side of the golem, applying a side blow with the big hammer, which had been rebuilt in my hand.

*Crack*

With that sound, the golem's leg cracks and shatters into pieces of stone...

Yes, I broke that bastard's leg.

Off balance, the golem fell to the ground. At this point, I became suspicious of the fact that the other golem didn't activate, but I let it go.

With all the rage in my heart, I destroyed the golem's head with the smaller hammer, causing its body to disassemble in one piece.

Cleaning the face, I already look directly at the other...

-Now it's your turn,mi amigo

-STOOOOOP PLEASE DON'T DESTROY ANYTHING ELSE.

I heard a very loud female voice, it seemed to come from a loudspeaker at the door of the pyramid...Were there people here all this time?

Maybe I feel bad about breaking their defense system...

No, I'm completely fine with that.

A small compartment opens in the giant door, and what comes out is a...kind of floating stone with stone eyes? It looks like some kind of drone.

This drone approaches and starts screaming in an annoying little voice:

-WHY? THIS TIME HE DIDN'T EVEN ATTACK YOU! YOU MONSTER!

-oh...annoying.

I pick up the drone with one hand,and broke it into many pieces.

-Okay, let's explore this thing...the other golem will probably activate if I try to break down the door and…

Although,the compartment opens and another stone drone comes out.

-Oioi...Didn't you know it's rude to destroy other people's bodies?

-What the fuck is this? Are you immortal?

-No, I'm not immortal so…

-so die.

With a punch, I destroy the drone again...maybe I should try to open the door calmly and...,oh,another drone.

-These drones are infinite?

-No, they're not, and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop breaking it. It takes a whole day to build them.

The drone pulls away from me and flies around the golem, whimpering.

-And it took me 5 years to build this kid...how could you do this to him.

-boring...

-IT'S NOT BORING, I CONSIDER THEM AS CHILDREN

-By the way, who are you?

-Huh?

The drone does not move for a while, I think it was in shock

-You came to my pyramid and you don't know who I am?

-ah yes, I was just passing through and wanted to go in to explore.

-WHO IS PASSING THROUGH THE CORNER OF THE WORLD? LITERALLY WE ARE IN THE FAREST PART OF THE CONTINENT ANYONE HAS EVER BEEN!

-Anyway, are you going to tell me who you are or not?

After taking a while to compose itself, the floating drone said.

-Hoho...don't kneel in adoration after I say...I am Keria, the goddess of knowledge!

-Huh?

-Huh?

-...

-...

-Who?
