Master Of None

Chapter 716: 716. Golem Deterrent

The dust root tea worked its magic and allowed the party t rest and reset their bodysʼ natural clocks. They were woken up by the slow increase in light and the feelings of elemental manas around them. The spirits were all playing around and generally causing mischief between each other while the light elemental spirit looked to finally be happy.

Midnight was the first awoken because the fire spirit wanted to show off the dragon golem. Midnight was excited as well and proceeded to wake up everyone in turn. The group was a little off seeing as they had just woken up but were brought back to their senses after snacking a little and checking all their gear again.

Walker quickly stored the flooring and the wooden roof built for his portable forge skill. He still needed to prepare the fuel for the forge fire but that could come later. He knew that he would not be crafting anything in the journey home but instead enjoying the adventure back and getting to know the elemental spirits that were joining him now.

There was no trouble at all walking right out of the front entrance of the dwarven city. They were waved to or given nods from some of the dwarves but most of the golems that were hard at work didnʼt have the mental facilities to greet them or even react other than t just move out of the path of the party.

It was to be expected since the king of the surface had already spoken to the theme the night before and was most likely still at work with his own tasks.

”Midnight, do you think this is good enough for you and the fire spirit to show off?” Walker knew that the two had been waiting for much longer than they had planned but it was necessary to wait for the sun to properly show off the brilliance of the golemsʼ body.

Midnight huffed and the fire spirit nearly burst in to a full on fire ball. Walker didnʼt need any other response to pull the dragon style spirit golem from his storage.

”This is very remarkable. Almost like a fine art.” Su was amazed by the incredible detail and thought that this golem was more than almost every statue she had ever seen. The runes carved on it alone were better than most art she had seen in her life.

The fire spirit moved in to and fused with the dwelling core so that it could control the golem. ”My friends and spirits. This is the spirit golem. It is a dragon style golem with multiple skills and our friendly fore spirit in control. Modeled after the fierce and beautiful Midnight.” Walker put on an auctioneerʼs voice to show the majesty of the golem.

While he proceeded to explain the rest of the skills he knew the golem had, The others circled it and watched as it moved to demonstrate some of the skills. ”These spikes are great! They can crush everything!” Remey was enamored by the spikes which was way too predictable. Any of the party could have called this but none of them dared say it out loud.

”I just think it will be too flashy. Imagine trying to sneak around, itʼs not like Midnight who can hide in shadows with the shadow wrapping skill.” Gil had praised it a few times but was not as happy with the shiny appearance. He relied on hunting without giving away his presence. This meant that he couldnʼt be with such a flashy golem.

”Thatʼs why it can separate and I can store it in my inventory.” Walker just shrugged of Gilʼs worry. ”But it can also deter some monsters from attacking us while we head home. The orcs might still bother us but anything with half a brain should leave us be.” The point was pretty good since they wanted to get home sooner than later.

They would be able to travel swiftly without much stoping them in the terms of battles.

Midnight walked with a bounce in her step next to the dragon style golem. The golem was significantly bigger than her but everyone clearly saw the resemblance. Every time Midnight saw someone looking at the golem she would huff and a small amount of golden flams would leave her mouth. She was too happy to show off the golem more since it had been modeled after her.

The partyʼs pace was exceptional. They didnʼt take the route over the bridge and around the river this time. They were not required to do so since they didnʼt need to worry about helping anyone. Instead, they followed a less used trade route.

The fire spirit was controlling the golem to sweep itsʼ tail across some over grown grass and clear the way for them. It had been doing so for some time now and Walker knew that the merchants that traveled the area would wonder what had cleared the path so well. There was a chance that it would become better traveled because of this.

”Wait, did you hear that?” Gil was the first to pick up on some movement in the tall grasses that were being cut. He knew that it was not some animal since it was doing too well in hiding. They were being stalked by a monster.

”I can hear it.” Walker took note of the rustling of the grass even though there was o breeze at the moment. Midnight crouched before realizing that the golem was mimicking her. It was learning her behavior so that it could attack better. That was when everyone came to the same conclusion. The fire spirit was going to have to learn to flight properly like Midnight.

Since this was the case, Walker made the executive decision to allow the fire spirit with the dragon style golem to hunt the monster following them. ”You can show off even more by defeating whatever is following us. I bet you will be able to take down the monster like itsʼ nothing.” This was even more fuel to push the first spirit to get serious.
