Episode 129. fish in water
Soon Dantillion began explaining how to kill the giant golem.
[If you are at your current level, you will be able to feel the magic energy gathered inside that golem’s body. Can you feel it?]
‘… uh.’
Magic energy spreads throughout the giant golem’s entire body.
Just by looking around the golem’s body, you could feel the strong magical energy. It was clear that a large amount of demon energy had gathered together.
[That magic energy is the source of the golem’s life. If all that magic disappears, the golem will die too.
Then I will ask you. If one part of the golem’s body completely disappears, what would happen to that part?]
‘… It’ll just be like an ordinary rock. ah!’
[Do you understand now?]
Dantillion asks Kim Jin-seong, who bursts out in exclamation.
However, Kim Jin-seong could not hear the voice because he was busy shaking his head.
‘They say that if you cut off the part where the demonic energy was removed, it is possible to amputate a limb.’
Then, the problem was removing the golem’s magical energy.
Jinseong Kim quickly reached the correct answer.
‘Just blow up the demonic force. Just like when I killed the mini golems earlier.’
A moment ago, the scene where he used the Mana Controller trait to kill all the mini golems without lifting a finger flashed through his mind.
However, the ‘magic energy trigger’ ability used at that time only worked on beings much weaker than Kim Jin-seong.
It has absolutely no effect on beings of a similar level or stronger than the giant golem in front of me.
This was the reason why Seol Daun was the only one who could not explode a body part against Kim Jin-seong in the second round of the preliminaries.
‘… In that case, would it be okay to approach the body directly and blow it up?’
Kim Jin-seong recalled the third round of the preliminary round in which he faced Shin Woong.
At that time, Shinwoong used the ‘Intra-Heavy Water Method’ and directly struck Kim Jin-seong’s body, who had used the Geumgang Bulgo skill.
‘What if you place your palm directly on the golem’s body and then use a magical energy burst?’
… Kim Jin-seong even reached this thought.
[Tsk tsk tsk, as expected, even if you teach just one thing, they even figure out how to apply it!]
Jinseong Kim made up his mind and immediately moved his body.
He avoided the fist flying towards him by running forward.
bang!
Behind Kim Jin-seong, who ran forward, the golem’s fist missed and hit the ground, causing a loud noise.
Kim Jin-seong quickly approached the golem’s left ankle and placed his palm on it.
Afterwards, he used the ‘magic energy trigger’ ability against the magic energy gathered inside the golem’s body.
I flinched, and I could clearly feel the demonic energy inside the golem’s body fluctuating through my palm.
But that was all. In the end, it didn’t explode.
‘this… ! Sigh!’
Without any time to regret, Kim Jin-seong moved back a step further to avoid the golem’s attack with the opposite foot.
thud! Kim Jin-seong rolled his head again as he looked at the huge foot sinking deep into the ground.
‘I definitely felt the demonic energy moving… .’
Another thought occurred to Jinseong Kim’s mind.
‘What if you move demon energy in resonance?’
After thinking like that, Jinseong Kim instantly jumped to the golem’s right ankle and placed his palm again.
Afterwards, I attempted to resonate with the demon energy within my body.
At that time, the magic energy that spewed out from his palm and the magic energy inside the golem were instantly assimilated.
‘Now!’
Kim Jin-seong attempted to ‘unleash magical energy’.
bang!
With the sound of a stone being smashed, the golem’s right ankle was completely shattered.
As stone fragments flew in all directions, the giant golem lost its balance and swayed.
‘It’s a success!’
This time, even after a while, the golem’s ankle did not reattach.
Kim Jin-seong’s operation was successful.
‘Now that I know the method, it’s easy from now on!’
Jinseong Kim dodged the golem’s fist again and placed his palm on his left ankle, where he had failed the first time.
And in the same way, I tried to ‘trigger demon energy’,
bang!
Again, my ankle was shattered with the sound of a stone exploding.
The giant golem, which lost both ankles, completely lost its balance and fell forward.
After that, it was all smooth sailing.
After blowing up and amputating both shoulders in the same manner, Kim Jin-seong leisurely climbed onto the back of the golem, leaving only the head and body.
‘Okay, now it’s over.’
Kim Jin-seong placed his palms on his back and waited patiently until all the demonic energy within the golem’s body responded to the resonance.
It took a while this time, but it didn’t matter at all. This was because the giant golem with its limbs severed no longer had the means to resist.
After a while.
Pow!
The head and body of the giant golem were completely shattered and flew in all directions.
At the same time, a notification window appeared in front of Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 300 Vis Creama points.

▶ Acquired ‘Rock Giant’, a comprehensive attribute of the opposing monster.
▷ Rock Giant: Gains the following characteristics.
– Body regeneration rate is doubled.
– All stats are permanently increased by 100.
Kim Jin-seong, who cleared the notification window in front of him, looked around at the area that had become a gravel field due to the exploded rocks and thought.
‘With this attack, it should be enough to deal with even those muscle pigs from Nature Animal.’
For those who had only strengthened their external abilities, such as their muscles and skin, with drugs, this method of hitting the body directly seemed to be very effective.
‘Before that, I need to get a lot of practice here.’
Right after I left this dungeon, I might be attacked by Nature Animals again.
Therefore, it was better to leave after completely mastering Kim Jin-seong’s new ‘Negative Deuterization Method’ that he learned here.
Kim Jin-seong soon turned around and moved to the place where Karen fell.
Let’s get closer,
“… eww.”
Karen’s moaning sound could be heard very softly.
At the same time, Dantillion’s surprised voice came through my head.
[You were really alive? If you hit your head first without being able to use mana, don’t most middle-earth creatures die?]
‘No matter where you go, there are exceptions.’
Kim Jin-seong used the self-immolation technique to transform into Porginae.
And immediately after spraying sleeping powder, it returned to its original state.
Sleep powder settled on Karen’s body as she was struggling to open her eyes, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.
▶ I used the skill ‘Creature Transformation’.
▶ Transformed into a ‘rock golem’.
▷ Stat change: Defense increased by 70
▶ I used the skill ‘Clone Art’.
Soon, a notification window popped up in front of Kim Jin-seong’s eyes, and at the same time, a rock golem was created right nearby.
The rock golem immediately carried the sleeping Karen on its back.
“Now that there are no witnesses, shall we use our demon energy to our heart’s content?”
Jinseong Kim began to enter the forest to the northwest with a relieved expression.
The rock golem carrying Karen followed behind him.
* * *
Afterwards, Kim Jin-seong began to kill every golem he encountered using the newly learned ‘Nega Heavy Water Method’.
Regardless of whether it was a mini golem or a giant golem, it was possible to easily deal with them all in the same way.
After killing nearly a hundred animals in total, Kim Jin-seong had completely mastered the ‘Negative Multiple Method’.
Now the only thing left was the dungeon’s boss monster.
Rumbling… !
Once again, the ground shook violently and parts of the terrain began to collapse.
The ocher-colored giant boss golem in front of me used its earthquake ability once again.
However, Jinseong Kim flew into the air, easily dodged the attack, and then started flying towards the boss golem.
The boss golem threw a huge rock at him.
In addition, streams of lava erupted from the cracked ground, and pieces of gravel or stones that had fallen nearby suddenly flew towards Kim Jin-seong at incredible speeds like bullets.
However, Kim Jin-seong easily avoided all the attacks or blocked them with his magic shield and flew towards the boss golem without stopping.
Kim Jin-seong soon approached right in front of the golem and placed his palm towards the golem’s left shoulder.
Quang!
This time, the golem’s shoulder shattered with a loud noise.
The boss golem’s limbs were shattered by Kim Jin-seong’s repeated attacks.
Kim Jin-seong looked down at the figure writhing on the floor with only his torso remaining.
‘Definitely, since I can freely use my demonic energy, the battle becomes much easier.’
Jinseong Kim turned his gaze to his surroundings.
His eyes caught the sight of the surrounding area being flooded with black waves due to the ‘space dominated by demonic energy’.
In this space, Kim Jin-seong faced the boss golem while flying around like a fish in water, and was soon able to easily defeat the boss.
Soon, Jinseong Kim placed his palm on the boss golem’s body to finish it off.
After a while, the boss golem’s entire body shattered into pieces.
At the same time, a notification window appears in front of Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 500 Vis Creama points.
▶ Acquired ‘A being like Mount Tai’, a comprehensive characteristic of the opposing monster.
▷ A being like Taishan: Gains the following characteristics.
– Body regeneration rate is doubled.
– Skin defense is permanently increased by 200, and all other stats are increased by 150.
– Mana can be converted to land properties.
‘… ‘It’s okay.’
Jinseong Kim read the notification window and smiled with satisfaction.
Kim Jin-seong, who soon removed the notification window from before his eyes, also recovered the ‘space dominated by demonic energy’ that had been laid out nearby.
Black waves that instantly reenter Kim Jin-seong’s body.
‘As expected, I have to use demonic energy. ‘I was so frustrated because I couldn’t use it because I was worried about what other people thought.’
[If it’s so frustrating, is there really a need to keep taking a guide with you?]
In response to Dantillion’s question, Kim Jin-seong’s gaze naturally turned to the clone golem in the distance behind him, or more precisely, to Karen, who was riding on its back.
‘… no.’
Kim Jin-seong looked at Karen for a moment and then shook his head.
‘There is not enough information about the New Continent yet.’
There was no information about mercenary guilds or request offices, places that must be visited when making money.
Karen was still something he needed.
‘Then I’ll go. ‘Thank you today too.’
Soon Kim Jin-seong said goodbye to Dantillion and walked towards the exit portal that appeared in front of him.
[wait for a sec. if… .]
Dantillion stops him.
Kim Jin-seong asked again, wondering if it was possible.
‘why? Are you trying to tell me to sign another contract and go?’
[That’s not true… But while I’m at it, let me ask you a question. Are you still not willing to sign a contract?]
‘uh.’
[Okay… ! Damn little guy… .]
Dantillion, who was sighing, quickly continued:
[Okay, go in. And come a little earlier next time!]
‘don’t worry. Now I have to stop by often just to make money.’
[Come back tomorrow! There is still a mountain of things I have to teach you!]
‘Because I saw it.’
With those words, Kim Jin-seong disappeared through the portal exit with Karen.
After a while, the portal exit disappeared and the empty dungeon became quiet.
* * *
A pitch-black space.
An old man sitting on an old throne was looking at the ‘dimensional mirror’ floating in front of him with a serious expression.
Inside the mirror, Jinseong Kim was disappearing through the portal exit.
When Kim Jin-seong completely disappeared, the old man muttered as if he was talking to himself.
“… “It seemed like it was continuing to absorb the magical energy of the monsters it had slain.”
Then he quickly shook his head.
“I guess I was wrong. “It doesn’t make sense for a being from Middle Earth to do that.”
When he lightly waved his hand, the dimensional mirror that appeared before his eyes disappeared everywhere.
