"Sleepy..." [Charlotte]

"Want to sleep...zzz..." [Youngest boy]

"We can, still, keep ongoing..." [Youngest girl]

"Poor child" [Haliza]

"Guess we will just stop here" [Ash]

"Agree..." [Rean]

"I'm tired..." [Kanji]

"Scythe boss, your stamina, are endless" [Thug E]

"Mrs Qis too, both of them are unfazed" [Seo Ah]

"They live in a completely different dimensions from us" [Zerolith]

"This is just the results of daily training. You guys will achieve the same should you put in more effort" [Qis]

"Like she said" [Ash]

"Why did I get this feeling he didn't put that much of an effort" [Mira]

"Who knows" [Diana]

(Oh, you definitely know) [Ash]

Well, after the mock battle between Rean and Kanji (which ended up in a draw as both side can't keep up), we ventured further downward inside the dungeon in hope of finding the crystal (with the added benefit of training these kids as well as some sightseeing inside the dungeon, like that beautiful waterfall at 4th floor). We did run into a couple of treasure chest, as well as some random golem (the monster, not the magic), but so far, I can't find even a single crystal. If this keep on, I will venture further downward myself in order to find it.

(Here I thought the streak of good luck will continue, but that doesn't seems to be the case) [Ash]

As I keep on activating my scan magic, I detected something almost familiar

"What!" [Ash]

"What happen!?" [Kana]

"Don't scare us like that!" [Diana]

"I find it..." [Ash]

"That thing?" [Diana]

"No, the portal stone... but, the wavelength, something feels, different" [Ash]

"Can you investigate it?" [Haliza]

"I will. Kana, Qis, please stay here and protect the kids and the princesses." [Ash]

""Got it"" [Qis, Kana]

"How about us?" [Kanji]

"Me too!" [Rean]

"Not fair, we wanted to go as well!" [Elise]

"Did you forgot what happen last time I found one inside the dungeon?" [Ash]

"That's..." [Kara]

"Be careful!" [Mara]

"I will" [Ash]

and off I go, dashing towards the direction of the wavelength. I'm surprised that I managed to pick that up. But another question pop up? Why? Just what could they be planning, placing the portal stone inside a dungeon. I can at least understand if they placed it inside a country, as they can attack or let a monster attack the country from inside, but here?

(Whatever, need to find it first, before...) [Ash]

This aura, golem? Yes, it is, but there's more to it. As if, all the golem are connected by a single strand. Like a doll, no, like a puppet. That mean

(Master puppet golem? Judging from the mana, it is of an A rank, but, the number of golems that it control do complicate things) [Ash]

At least this time, it isn't an S rank monster. Should it be an S rank monster, I will bring them all outside first before proceeding.

"The..." [Ash]

As I spotted the first earth golem, it launches a boulder magic towards me, at a high speed that it. Well, good thing for my quick reflex, so that shouldn't pose much of a problem, plus this earth golem is all alone, so

~Boom~

A single explosion right at its magic core should do, or so I thought, but that golem keep on firing boulder magic towards me. Guess when the golem are attached (or controlled) by master puppet golem, it will be regenerated.

(Well, that is to be expected. Aside from some leadership and control magic, that monster will have a healing magic or two just for golem) [Ash]

Guess that mean I shouldn't waste my time and energy fighting them. I should just when straight for the puppet, or so I thought

All these earth golems that keep on increasing in number didn't make it easy for me. Plus,

"Just how big is that golem!" [Ash]

One of the golem, almost 100 meter tall. It does have multiple magic cores condensed into a single magic core inside of it, so I guess it is a combination of multiple golems at once. And it punches, like a mountain being thrown at your direction. I can't avoid it so

"Fire magic: Explosive chain" [Ash]

With that, I uses explosion magic consecutively, one after another until the arms of the Golem is there no more. It try to regenerate back.

"Crap!" [Ash]

The speed at which it regenerate, it is fast, but on other note, I noticed that the surrounding golem becoming sluggish. That mean that the puppet master golem must have prioritize making it.

As the second punch continue, I uses the same magic again. Thank goodness the result remain the same. Guess I can focus a bit to search the master. It should be nearby based on my scan magic and

"There you are" [Ash]

The puppet master golem is your average golem size, but unlike your normal golem, the head is larger and it is entirely made out of magic core.

(Guess this will be easy) [Ash]

I fire off a single thunder spear towards it, but it's smart enough as to shield itself by using other golem. Smart, plus, it also ask other golem as well as that 100 meter tall golem to attack me. Well, that is smart, I guess since I can just use this

"Bubble" [Ash]

I created hundred upon hundred of bubbles, each with different mana imbued inside of it. Ice mana, fire mana, explosion, thunder, light, dark, name it, I put varieties of mana into these bubbles and

~Wind Rumbling~

What better way is to send all these bubbles into a group of monster better than a tornado. With these two combined, chaos ensure. The bubble flying towards all directions, begin to hit not only the golem, but also the ground and nearby structure. And the 100 meter golem, it size now become something disadvantageous for it as it keeps on getting barrage by it. Well, I do hope it magic core didn't damage much as I wanted it for myself, and as for the puppet master golem

(It looks panicky) [Ash]

Well, time to end this. And when there's a tornado, there's thunder! Plus, let make it storm as well. These three usually goes together and

~Boom~

A single loud and powerful thunder hit the puppet master golem directly, and instead of shattering it's magic core, it simply deactivated? I guess that's the best description, given how it stopped glowing and I couldn't feel any sort of mana from it. All the other golem also stopped moving, and among them is

"Nice!" [Ash]

Really nice, and what more

"Guess I take back my word. Streak of luck continue, part 3" [Ash]
