"…"

(What the fuck is this thing?) – thought alarmed Markus as he stared at the blood covered creature, which carried a saber belonging to the female elf.

"…"

(He killed them.) – Markus quickly put two and two together, realizing that the golem must had killed everybody who got separated.

"HEY! WE HAVE PROBLEM HERE!" – shouted Markus as the confused adventurers stared at the new monster.

"W-what the…. Wait…. Is that blood?" – said injured warrior.

"But….Wait…. Wait! WAIT!" – shouted an injured mage.

"Where are the backliners!? WHERE ARE THEY?!"

"…Why…. Why is it-"

"FOCUS! THIS THING AIN'T LIKE OTHER GOLEMS!" – shouted Markus.

"…"

"Wait…. Why…" – however, one of the adventurers couldn't take off the eyes of the bloodied golem.

And it was Adam…. As he noticed the golem carrying a saber.

"Why…."

"?!"

"AAAAAAAAAA!"

The once composed, calculating leader of a small party started roaring like a beast upon seeing the sword and the golem covered in blood, instantly realizing his two friends were dead.

The man consumed by rage rushed at the creature before anybody could read.

"[HAMMER ART: WRECKING STRIKE]!" – the man spined around his spiked ball and threw it at the golem.

"?!"

The golem was completely caught off guard as spiked ball was way too fast to dodge, forcing the puppet to quickly use four of its arms to form a defensive wall that took on the hit.

"!"

(Heavy!) – thought surprised Thauma as its body bended backwards from the impact.

The magic swordman saw this as opening as he quickly rushed at the golem, aiming for the creature knee.

However, the creature noticed him as it thrusted own sword in the man's attack path, causing two blades to clash with each other.

"?!"

(It saw it coming?!) – thought surprised young man before then quickly leaping away as the golem tried attacking with its claws… Missing, as the man quickly made up in an instance a huge distance between the two combatants.

"BASTARD!" – shouted Adam as he sent flying his morning star once again at the creature, landing a solid hit.

"?!"

(Something is off!) – thought Thauma as it got it once again.

(That man attacks weren't that fast or powerful?!)

(Was he hiding his full power?!) – thought Thauma as it tried to grab the spiked ball with its arms, but the man quickly retracted spiked ball, giving Markus a chance to instantly fire off [Wind Magic: Wind Blast], a wave of wind that struck the golem body.

The young magic swordman tried instantly fallowing up after unleashing his blast of magic at the creature, but the golem thrusted its claws at the man once again, forcing him to back away.

"…"

(Annoying.) – thought both the golem and the young man.

(His speed is extremely problematic…. But he is also waiting for opening to strike and after getting hit by his attacks…. I can tell. He is truly strong.) – thought Thauma.

(The hell is going on here? Is that bastard waiting for me to come?) – thought Markus.

(Or is he targeting me because I'm attacking it?)

(….)

(No.)

(This isn't the important part.) – thought Markus as he looked towards the entrance.

(The backliners…. Even if they didn't have anybody to take the frontlines, they wouldn't had died to the regular golems.)

(Their fire power was more than enough…. And they had all of our supporters.)

(Healers and buffers.)

(They shouldn't had died-)

"!"

"Shit! The explosives! THEY WEREN'T MEANT TO KILL US! THEY WERE MEANT TO BLOCK US OFF!" – shouted Markus, alarming everybody in the room.

"THEY WERE MEANT TO CUT US OFF FROM THE BACKLINERS AND MUFFLE OUT THE SOUND SO WE WOULDN'T HEAR THEM SCREAM!"

"!"

"Shit! So that is what had happened?!" – said shocked Elizabeth before then dodging the giant golem blade.

"…"

"GO! HELP OUT MARKUS!" – shouted Mawa.

"I can deal with the giant and remaining golems!"

"But what about the boss?!" – asked Elizabeth.

"I will stall it if I have to! Now go!" – replied Mawa as he rushed at the giant.

"…"

(They are coming.) – thought Thauma as it realized not only B-rank adventurer Elizabeth was coming towards the golem, but also some C-rank adventurers.

(This will be problematic.)

The reason why Thauma thought like this was simple.

It was damaged.

Thauma new body wasn't indestructible.

It may looked at the first glace that the golem was not taking any damage from the adventurers' attacks, thanks mana steel, which was then hand made into the golem body.

But the golem had suffered some damage.

Small amount, but noticeable.

The C-rank adventurers attacks were working.

Obviously not dealing critical and fatal amount of damage, but still damaging the golem.

Even when backliners and the second group were at the brink of being annihilated, they still fought back and damaged the golem.

The C-rank adventurers attacks WERE working against Thauma.

Even if the damage is small, it can still accumulate over time and just "break" something.

And because of that, it couldn't let its guard around them.

And for that reason alone, it knew it had to reduce the number of adventurers as much as possible, since if it were to fight all of the C-rank adventurers in the dungeon, there was good chance that they could had destroyed the golem, even without B-rank adventurers' support.

(My body is still in perfectly operating shape and I can still fight at the full power…. But-)

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" – shouted Adam as he once again threw its spiked ball at the golem, forcing the creature to quickly dodge to the side.

(What is up with this man?!) – thought Thauma as it stared at Adam whose face was consumed by pure rage.

Thauma observed Adama closely throughout the whole war.

It realized that this man acted like a leader who controlled and ordered the adventurers.

It saw how it fought and so on.

But it never seen him unleashing so much power.

And the reason is simple.

That man posses a skill called [Berserk].

A skill that throws the user into the wild rage, boosting their overall physical abilities.

Upon realizing that his comrade must had died by the hands of the golem, the man unvoluntary activated the skill as he given into the pure rage.

"I WILL KILL YOU!"

"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!" – shouted Adam as he retracted his chain and threw the morning star once again at the golem, but missing.

(He isn't thinking straight.) – thought Thauma, realizing that the composed man was acting somewhat 'animalistic'.

The puppet saw it as a chance as it tried going straight for the man… But once again Markus stepped in and tried attacking the puppet, but once again he was forced to step back as the puppet tried attacking it.

"…"

(I knew it.) – thought the young man.

(He is not letting me out of his sight!)

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! FIRE!" – shouted Markus, alarming the golem who quickly looked to the side, noticing an injured mage chanting a spell."

"[Wind Blast]!" – the injured mage fired off a blast of wind in the direction of the puppet…. But before the blast could reach it, the golem instantly put its hands on the ground as the man was about to fire and created [Earth Wall], which took on the attack.

"…"

"What?" – said shocked Markus as he stopped in tracks.

[Earth Magic: Stone Bullet Barrage]

Right after blocking the attack, the puppet extends one of its hands towards the young man and fired off a barrage of small rocks at the young man, catching him completely off guard.

The man leaped to the side, dodging of the rocks, but not all as few rocks grazed his side… But not dealt any form of critical damage thanks to his light armor.

The young man rolled to the ground, before then quickly jumping away, dodging the barrage of rocks that were being fired right behind him.

"That thing can use magic?!" – shouted the injured mage.

"WHO GIVES A SHIT!" – shouted Adam as once again he threw his morning star at the golem, landing yet another solid hit.

"?!"

Or so it seemed.

The golem was waiting for the man attack and used all 3 of its arms to catch the attack.

"!"

"LET GO OF IT YOU FUCKER!" – shouted Adam as he tried wrestle back its weapon from the golem.

In response to that the puppet put one of its hands on the ground while also stopping firing at the young man.

"!"

"GET AWAY YOU FUCKER!" – shouted Markus, instantly realizing the danger.

[Earth Magic: Earth Forged Blade]

An earth of blade suddenly sprouted from the ground and stabbed the man right in his armor.

Right after that, the puppet threw the elven girl rapier at the man, trying to finish him off from afar.

"…"

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" – however, the berserker didn't cared as he just snapped the earthly pike, before then using his own arm as a shield, making the elven blade pierce right through it…. But not dealt a fata damage.

"YOU FUCKING THINK THIS IS ENOUGH, HUH?!" – shouted the man as he just pulled out the elven blade from his forearm, before then throwing away as the blood gushed out from his arm.

"!?"

(This man wasn't wearing as thick and full body covering armor, so I've though his defenses were lower.) – thought alarmed puppet as it noticed the man stomach did not ended up in critical state after receiving the earthly blade strike.

(But turns out they are higher than these 3 tanks?)

(I should had put more mana in the next strike.) – thought the puppet as it was able to unleash another earthly blade at the man, with this one aimed to make sure that the man dies.

However, right as the golem was about fire off its next shot, the young man who Thauma stopped looking at for a moment, had somehow ended up instantly destroying the distance between two combatants.

"?!"

The puppet instantly raised up one of its arms, using it to block off the man sword, before then quickly trying to counter attack with one of its arms.

[Wind Magic: Wind Jump]

However, the man suddenly jumped above the attack, dodging it and flying above the golem head.

(Got you!) – the man swung his sword at the creature, aiming for its neck…. But the golem was ready for it.

It opened up lower part of its head, revealing a mouth equipped with razor sharp edged that then grabbed the blade.

"Idiot." – said the young man while smiling wickedly.

[Wind Weapon Magic: Spinning Wind Weapon]

The man covered his sword in a layer of wind, trying to unleash a blast of wind inside of the golem mouth… But it instantly realized the danger as it knocked the man away with two of its fists and let go of the morning star, allowing the puppet to quickly get away and cause the wind blast around the weapon to miss.

"…"

"I knew it." – said Markus as he gotten up from the ground while Adam retracted his weapon.

"Kill!" – Adam got ready to attack the golem once again with his spiked ball, but the young man got in his way, stopping his attack.

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!" – shouted Adam as he got ready to attack the young man.

"Sheesh. Weren't you the calm one here?" – said Markus.

"Calm down you idiot and listen."

"This guy isn't just a monster."

"There is no doubt about it."

"That bastard here is the real dungeon master."
