Thank you everyone for reading my fiction. If you have any suugestion, please leave a comment below.

When I was writing each chapter, google is my best friend, especially when I don't know how to describe something like battle or scenery. Everytime I'm not sure about sentences or words, I will use google.

As for grammar, I really hope there will be an application that will check my grammar automatically.

Awkward sentences? I raised a white flag. I'm not fluent with english. Need an editor for that. Haha. Maybe after i became richer, I will hire one.

Please, enjoy your reading.

=============================

The body of the elite harpy slowly turned into a ball of light and then disappeared.

Watching that light ball disappeared, Acma took a deep breath followed by a sigh. The battle finally came to an end.

“Open: Inventory”

He checked the contents of his inventory carefully. He was searching for two things. First, upgrading items and the other was the elite harpy card. In a mere second, he found them. The amount of the upgrading items was enough to upgrade Silver to another tier which is tier 4, so he quickly opened the summon panel to do so.

After he finished upgrading Silver’s tier, he turned his attention to the elite harpy card. The card was rightfully his, but he doesn’t want a fugly harpy as his summon. He rather have a monstrous bear as a summon than this harpy. Although he could used the harpy as aerial attacker, he prefer to have a better looking flying beast. A giant condor or a flame wyvern for example. He must find the way to relinquish his ownership over this harpy card so he could trade it with others.

“I wonder which keyword to use”, he muttered slowly.

“Disown: Elite Mountain Harpy”, said Acma after a deliberation.

Looks like this time he was succeed on his first try. He picked the right word. Immediately, the harpy card was glowing for several seconds. Acma checked the information about ownership on the card, he was extremely delighted when he found out that he no longer the owner of that card. He felt a huge burden was lifted from his shoulder.

Acma continued to proceed toward Orca Village. This time he didn’t walk but rode on Silver’s back. Walking on his feet was a pleasure because he could examined the valley more carefully. There should be a better reason why the valley was named Death Valley other than just a poisonous mist, hard skinned lizards or fugly harpies. However, riding on Silver’s back was more convenience for many reasons. One of it was he could encounter more battlefields faster.

“Beware of what you wished. I might encounter stronger opponents than the lizards”, he thought. Although he was looking forward for more battle against new world creatures, a little constrain should be exercised. But he was too late. His next battlefield already appeared.

Stone Golem LVL 32

“Damn, stone golems”, he cursed.

The area in front of him was filled with stone golems. Battling with them would be much harder than the lizards because Acma didn’t know its weak points like the eyes for the lizards. To made thing worse, the valley was narrower compared to the previous areas. Even avoiding the golems would be extremely hard. At the end of the golem infested area, there is a natural wall about 10 meters height. So Acma was really facing an uphill battle.

The size of the golem was about an average adult. There was a glow at their joints that keep their limbs attached together. The colour of the glow was different from one golem to the other. Most of them were white and some of them were green. Acma guessing that the colour was indicating the type of those golem. White for common golem and green for uncommon one. Just like the name plate above the monsters head.

They have no face and there was no clue which one was the front and which one was the back. They have fist but no fingers. Although their levels wasn’t high, Acma knew that battling these golems would be difficult because their defence was astronomically high.

The golems were just stood still like a statue. Maybe because Acma haven’t enter their operational area yet. Once Acma closing in, the battle would be triggered.

Acma was ready. He step forward slowly towards the golems. Silver was close behind him. Acma didn’t take out his weapons because he knew they would be useless. He could use Black Hole to obliterate these golems, but their number was too high. Most likely Acma would depleted his mana first. So he decided to avoid these golems as much as possible.

“Let’s start the battle”, said Acma as he began to sprint. Passing this area as fast as possible was his main objective.

He passed through the first golem before it could do anything. As he moved deeper into the stone golems territory, he simply couldn’t sprinting anymore. Either he had to dodge, roll or sometimes he was forced to leap and step on the head of the golem. While doing all those acrobatic stunts, he paid attention at the colour of the glow on the golems joint. He was looking for a blue glow.

The golems attack was simple. They keep swinging their arms until their body rotated 360 degrees. Each swing send a chill down to Acma’s spine. It look devastating. If Acma was close enough, it would swung down its fist as if the mountain itself was raining down onto Acma. That was the attack of the golems with white glow. As for the green glow, they have an additional attack which was a stomp that was powerful enough to gave a shock wave. Acma was almost hit by one of those stomp, but he was fast enough to jump upwards and avoided the shock waves. He wasn’t a fool to test the effect of that shock wave while been surrounded.

So far, Acma manage to avoid all the attack. But his favourite move was stepping on the golems head. That was the safest place within the golem territory because the hand of the golems was too short to touch its head. Furthermore, they couldn’t sense his presence when he was standing on their head.

“Hahahahaha”

Acma was reaching the natural stone wall at the back of the golems territory when suddenly he let out a loud laugh.

“Finally, I found what I’m looking for”, he roar loudly while standing on top of the head of one of the golem.

Not far from the wall, surrounded by a cluster of a golems, Acma saw a blue glow. Not just one but three. One of them have a slightly dark blue glow compared to the other two. That special golem was bigger than the other golems and slightly taller too. Acma wanted that golem as his next summon. As for the other two, he would disown and trade them.

“Time for a Black Hole”, he said coolly as he pinpoint the best target to maximize the Black Hole effect.

“Black Hole”

As he said that, a five foot diameters black sphere appeared above the elite golems. With the appearance of that black sphere, everything within 100 meter radius vanished. Although it was already the second time he used tier 1 Black Hole, he still amazed with the power of that spell.

This time, Acma found out three points. Firstly, the spell didn’t affect him at all. He was standing within 100 meter radius from the center of the spell, but he didn’t feel the suction forces from the spell. Secondly, the weight of the golems able to withstand the suction forces for a while. They only perished because they were too close from the spell. Therefore, depends on the size of the opponents, Acma must have to use a higher tier Black Hole spell. A higher rank creatures also possible to withstand the Black Hole spell. Thirdly, what puzzling Acma the most was the 10 meters stone wall also didn’t affected by the spell even though there already a crater on the ground.

“That stone wall is so mysterious. I must be extremely careful with it” thought Acma.

After a minute, the effect of the spell was gone. Most of golems in front of him was disappeared and the remaining few were stumbling into the crater when they tried to reach Acma. It was a comical sight.

Acma paid no heed toward the remaining golems inside the crater. As the golems behind him closing in, he raised his head and look at the top of the stone wall. “Phantom Step”, he said. He reached the top of the wall instantly. Soon after that, a ball of light flew beside him and then turned into a great wolf. Acma quickly pat its head.

“Let’s check what is behind this wall”, muttered Acma slowly and turned his body.

“Whow, what is this place?”

Behind the wall was a gorge with numerous white bones scattered within it. The gorge was about 1 kilometre deep and several kilometres wide. The wall has many lifelike carvings, showing a story of a man and his journey to reach a pinnacle of life, battling a gigantic creatures, commanding a million armies and so on.

On the bottom right of the gorge, there was an entrance with a broken door, made from stone. Acma was interested of what behind the broken door. There must be something precious kept inside it, but the volume of scattered bones made him wary. He thought that he must be extremely careful and prepared himself fully. He took out some scouting spheres from his inventory and put it on his palm.

“Alice, can you check what is wrong with this gorge and then go inside through that entrance and examine it”, said Acma.

A ball of light flew from his chest and hovering in front of him. “Yes Master”. Alice turned her body invisible and then the scouting spheres started to float and flew through the entrance.

While waiting for Alice to return, Acma checked the inventory and looking for the elite stone golem card. There was indeed three cards as he predicted before. Then he checked the cards carefully, hoping that one of them was different.

“This one must be the special stone golem earlier”, said Acma slowly as he stared at the card in his hand. It was a tier 3 elite stone golem summon card. He was happy with it because he didn’t have to waste the upgrading items to upgrade it and he could use them to upgrade his other summons.

He quickly opened the summon panel and put the card on the active summon section. He didn’t summon the golem because he wanted to preserve his mana. He already used a lot of it for his spell earlier and haven’t fully recover it. Since he would be exploring later, he need to be fully prepared for anything that may come and his mana was the most important life saving requirement.

After a while, Alice returned with a report.

“Master, the gorge was filled with an invisible and odourless gas that will make a person hallucinate and enrage if they inhale it. All the skeletons below have a sign of cuttings and crushing, the floor and the wall also have a sign of battle. They must have fell victim to the gas and battling each other” “Beyond the broken door, there is a long tunnel. At the end of it, there is a wall”.

“Did you find anything dangerous?” asked Acma. His curiosity was increasing.

“Nothing that can harm Master. Only insects and small animals. Even the traps have been cleared by the previous explorer”, said Alice.

“Thank you Alice. Please continue examining the tunnel. I will enter shortly”, said Acma as he began to descend into the gorge.
