Pick Me Up!

Chapter 120: (2)

Lets do it.

[Weapon Awakening!]

[Bifrost gains a special power.]

A radiant dark glow began to swirl around the swords blade.

I held the sword in front of me to shield my body. The stone giants mouth opened wide, and a massive blue beam shot out. I bent my knees, holding the hilt with both hands.

The beam collided head-on with the swords edge.

Everything flashed before my eyes. A heavy impact, as if colliding with a train head-on. Rrrrrrr. It was the sound of friction with the ground as my body was pushed back uncontrollably.

No matter how much of an oppa you are, thats too reckless

Keeiiik!

I turned my heels to the side.

My body, which had been pushed back, came to a stop.

I swung the sword.

Ttwak!

The blue beam that had flown in the opposite direction slammed into the stone giants mouth.

An explosion followed the impact.

I relaxed my stance and extended the sword.

There was a hole pierced through the stone giants mouth.

Thick smoke billowed out of the hole.

Where do you get that sword? I want one too.

Theres only one. Cant help you.

[Draste Seducio. Fire away!]

The flames swirling around Elokas body soared into the air and were launched.

The target was the crystal on the opposite side. When the flame turned into a spear, the crystal exploded and oxidized. It was a combination of telekinesis and flame magic.

Eloka approached me and lowered her head.

You really are reckless. Even a hundred lives wouldnt be enough for you.

Well talk later. Run.

Through that hole, right?

Yes.

I kicked aside the remains of the collapsed golem and jumped.

The palm behind us was moving towards us like a broom sweeping the floor.

Grrrrrrr!

Thunk. Thunk.

The shoulders swayed from side to side. It seemed like the creature was shaking its body.

Kyrk, Kararalak! Block them!

A long tube rose near the neck.

[Lizardman Warrior Lv. 28] X 5

Clunk.

Krugh?

As soon as they appeared, one of them slipped and fell to the ground.

Leave those guys to me.

This isnt fun at all.

Neryssa and Velkist jumped ahead.

Eloka, who was running behind with her dress fluttering, took out a mana potion and drank it.

Jenna drew her bow while running. Ping! An arrow shot out and struck one lizardman in the nose.

The chambers continued to rise.

The surface of the chamber had a gear pattern drawn on it.

The chambers door opened.

[X Magic Golem Lv. 33]

This golem was equipped with rapid-fire crossbows on both arms.

The crossbows targeting mechanism turned towards us and began to rotate like a Gatling gun.

Kwa-chik!

Arrows fired from the longbow pierced through both arms in succession. Jenna, lightning-fast, drew her dagger.

On the shoulders, the sides, and inside the abdomen!

Ssugak, ssugak-ssugak!

Dismantled wires and mechanical devices sprang out from the golems body.

The golem toppled sideways. Jenna looked at me and grinned.

Hehe, this is how its done, right?

Stop showing off and run.

The stone giants hand, covering its shoulders, was getting closer, smashing everything in its path.

Krrak!

The last remaining lizardman was taken care of.

Two of them stuck close together.

Chiiiik!

Steam billowed from various parts of the status body.

The emission rate had increased significantly. Even a slight touch would turn you into smoked meat. We bypassed the rising steam as we ran.

How its going?!

Are the escorts unharmed?

Youre about to reach a dead end. Get ready to escape. Ive marked a way out.

I cut off the communication.

Im going in!

Jenna jumped up.

Her small body was sucked into the stone giants neck hole. Next up was Eloka. Then it was Velkist and Neryssa.

I looked ahead.

With one of its lenses broken and holes in its mouth, the stone giants face was staring at me.

I laughed and raised my middle finger towards it.

Then I jumped.

Sliding down the corridor like a slide, into the darkness.

Suddenly, a floating sensation approached.

I adjusted my posture and rotated my body.

Thud! I landed with a parachute landing technique.

A circular room the size of a sports field.

Both the walls and floor were made of black metal.

Red fluorescent lights were blinking on the ceiling. Blinking.

Its an interesting place.

Jenna reached down to touch the floor.

[Warning!]

[The stone giants self-defense system is now in its final stage.]

Wee-iiing! Wee-iiing! Wee-iiing!

Sirens began to blare loudly.

Jenna yanked her hand back in surprise.

W-whats going on? Did I touch something by mistake?

Dont panic. Its not your fault.

I quickly surveyed the area.

Beyond the railing on the floor, we stood on, a steam engine-like contraption moved up and down busily. Next to it, a large iron door was noticeable. The door was slightly ajar.

Kark, kark. Foolish warriors, welcome to the Chamber of Trials!

A scratching sound came from the ceiling speaker.

Hahaha, taste my masterpiece that Ive spent my whole life creating!

Clank.

Three walls turned around.

[X Magic Golem Lv. 35]

[Y Magic Golem Lv. 33]

[Z Magic Golem Lv. 34]

From blade golems to crossbow golems and even axe golems.

Three golems in total appeared.

They stood facing each other, eyeing each other warily.

Thats

[Combine!]

[XYZ Ultimate Magic Golem Lv. 46]

Clang.

Size, about 5 meters.

Four legs spread out in a square, with two arms.

Weapons were attached all over its body. The seams that had been exposed were all filled with metal plates.

Whats its weakness?

Im not sure.

Giririk.

Its four feet moved slowly forward.

At the same time, the exit began to close.

I detached the scabbard from my belt and kicked it towards the floor.

Sliding across the floor, the scabbard blocked the gap in the door.

Girik, thud.

The door moved several times, trying to break the scabbard.

But the scabbard didnt have a single scratch.

I ran towards the exit.

I inserted my fingers into the gap and pushed to the side. Squeak!

The door swung wide open.

Pass through.

Thanks for the show!

Jenna, Eloka, Velkist, and Neryssa exited through the corridor.

I looked back. The four-legged magic golem was stumbling towards me.

Well meet soon, so wash your neck and wait.

I retrieved the scabbard.

Thud!

The door closed, leaving the golem behind.

I continued down the corridor. The red lights were blinking along with the sirens. The end of the mission was in sight.

[Opening the Battle Shop.]

[You have selected a cheering fluorescent stick (Single-use, 50 Gems). Would you like to purchase it?]

[Yes (Selected) / No]

[Purchase complete!]

[Slide the screen left and right!]

[Show the hero your masters support!]

Flashing, flashing!

What are those lights?

Just ignore them.
