Fighting the Boss part II

[The Battle is About to Begin]

The golem stood up and emitted a strong pressure, and with its movement, it drew its large, menacing axe from its back. I narrowed my eyes and prepared for battle.

“Ron, spread your regular mist as much as possible.”

“Meow Meow Meow~~”

He meowed forcefully and furiously, and from him and his surroundings, a large amount of mist covered the area, helping to hide and disguise me.

The golem seemed indifferent and quickly moved the axe to where I was before, but I had already moved to another area.

‘His speed seems greater than other golems, and his strength is monstrous.’

The ground made a loud noise and appeared damaged.

He quickly moved to the side as if sensing danger, and from there a fully red Ron jumped and retreated from the attack, then ran and approached him, starting to cut him. The poison doppelganger, the mist, had already covered everything around the golem, hiding and poisoning it. Ron could also use the mist in other ways.

Part of the mist around his feet and arms solidified, slightly restricting his movements. Moreover, Aqua in the air released four whips from its small antennae, quickly helping to bind him. Then my clone and I approached him and activated my skill.

“Circle of Cuts”

My sword, charged with water energy, started moving and cutting him rapidly. At the same time, Ron appeared occasionally with his claws and fangs, hitting weak points to cause more damage.

I still couldn’t find the core; maybe I needed to deal more damage…

.

And at that moment, the golem shone with a strong light, and the runes on its body seemed to transmit power, light, and intense heat. The mist and water whips were completely destroyed. As he moved the axe, which glowed with golden light and power, he swung it quickly in my direction, but before it could hit me, a wall of water appeared around me, which, while helping to reduce the damage, still threw me back.

And the boss’s light didn’t seem to diminish, and with it, notifications appeared.

[The Barrier activated rune reinforcement, increasing its status by 25% for 5 minutes]

[The power of its spear increased by 50% for 10 minutes]

“Tsk… what a difficult boss…”

.

And so I spent around 25 minutes dealing damage to him, while also getting exhausted and taking high damage, and finally, when I found the core…

A large golden core hidden in part of the armor on his back.

“Impact”

My sword, with high power at the tip and surrounded by elemental water energy, advanced directly at the core, and with the impact and magical water energy, the core started to break and become highly damaged.

[The Boss’s status has been reduced by 40%]

[Magical defenses have been reduced by 60%, physical defenses by 40%.]

[If constant damage is not applied to the core, it will regenerate in 15 minutes]

With the core breaking, strength and speed were significantly reduced, and the amount of damage applied increased greatly, however….

“It seems that unlike other golems, this one’s core can regenerate….”

“There’s nothing else to do, let’s destroy it.”

And in about 20 minutes, the golem was destroyed.

And I fell to the ground exhausted with Ron and Aqua in my arms…

“I… need to find another Soulbound that deals more damage… and quickly… over time Ron’s damage is high even when making surprise attacks, but if it hits enemies like golems or beings with poison resistance, Ron’s combat effect is reasonably reduced…”

I looked at the notifications above.

[The boss the Barrier was defeated with excellence.]

[Mission: Change Race was completed]

And with the golem’s destruction, the entire space seemed to shine and tremble as if it was breaking, a golden, blue, and silver liquid shone from behind the throne and came towards me. At the same time, I realized I lost control of my body.

The liquid started to surround me, infiltrating my body. Runes and magical languages seemed to emerge from the walls and move towards me…

Soon I lost consciousness and entered a state of sleep while Ron and Aqua had returned to the soul space.

My body was like a large golden cocoon with blue and silver colors, surrounded by various runes and magical languages.

The dungeon, which was in a separate dimension, seemed to rupture.

And behind the newly formed cocoon, a hole in the space was formed.

And something like a silver-blue tail came out and wrapped around the cocoon while an ancient voice was heard from within the portal.

“A new member of the race… and coming from one of the relics… it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this, well come to our city and dimension, future member…”

At the same time, notifications appeared for all players who had such notifications activated.

[A new player has changed to a unique and special race, welcome them]

And the previous relic was broken and collapsed, disappearing from existence.

.

In the special and hidden dimension of Anturian.

A dimension that had space around and an artificial sun created at the top of the sky, while smaller stars coexisted with it and small meteorites sometimes flew above the sky.

On the ground, a large area with blue, purple, and golden plants existed, and at the center of it all was a large golden barrier. Inside it was a gigantic city, the city of Riften, with a Renaissance-style mixed with modern architecture, bringing aspects similar to a modified Florence in Italy, with primarily pure white and beautiful constructions with dark blue tiles, and a ground made of blue and golden tiles. Various beautiful and varied species of trees and plants decorated the city, and small cute animals lived among the plants. It was also a city that seemed to have sculptures, paintings, and various instruments, a city that appeared to transmit cultures from various places simultaneously.

And at specific points, various golem statues stood as protectors and defenders of the place, and the whole city had mysterious magical runes and languages showing its power and antiquity.

Amid all this, citizens were in the streets, most having golden or silver hair, tall and beautiful with slightly elongated ears, but unlike elves, and the most striking feature, a tail formed of dark silver and blue scales, sharp and dangerous, and at the same time mysterious, powerful, and precious, seeming to be retractable and adaptable. Besides, small magical symbols were in different parts depending on the individual.

They also wore varied clothing, some more in the oriental style, like Chinese Hanfu, Kimonos, others like Greek chitons, others in an Egyptian style, others Arab Kandoras, and others with more typical clothing like most individuals and adventurers.

It was a large city, but compared to other cities, the population was not so much and didn’t seem to lead the city as much.
