Chapter 31: [Bonus ] Intense Battle: Spirits VS Dead Wood Golems!

I had used the power of Spirit Magic, but it really surprised me! The ability to detect Dragon Veins was great, but summoning Land Spirits? It was amazing! Even at Level 1, the Skill was already showing its worth as I was given the ability to summon different spirits. Of course, four was my limit because my Mana was around 30 by now…! Of course, it was recovering at dozens per second, so it slowly filled up. In a few minutes, it should go back to a suitable range where I could keep summoning more Spirits if I want to.

The Spirits were not permanent and after a certain amount of damage taken or time, they will disappear and I will need to summon new Spirits… Of course, I had just summoned them, so they wouldn't go away any time soon. The Small Rocky, the Boulder Golem, and the Land Titan were bravely fighting right about now! The best thing is that after conjuring them, I didn't need to constantly give them Mana, so only one time summon is enough, if I had to give them Mana constantly, that would be really a pain to deal with.

BOOOM!!!

The Land Titan's enormous fists clashed against a golem's chest, completely breaking it into pieces and throwing it down into the ground. The entire golem was splattered into many pieces of wood, which all suddenly turned into particles of light…

"W-Wow, that's amazing!" Said Acorn.

Isn't this Magic a tad bit overpowered…?!

BOOOM!!!

The Boulder Golem caught a Dead Wood Golem, using his enormous stone arms, it crushed the not so strong dead wood into the ground, cracking the entire dead wood golem into several pieces and then using its enormous legs to crush it over the ground. This spread the dead wood everywhere, all while the red-colored core that the dead wood golems had in their chest was also shattered, killing it as well.

CLASH! CLASH!

The two Small Rocky were strong despite being the smallest and weakest of all the Land Spirit Summons, they worked in conjunction and jumped high into the air, abusing their lighter bodies, they began to jump and fall over one of the further Dead Wood Golems, crushing its body slowly, taking apart the dead wood and making it crumble after hitting it consecutively

BOOOOM!!!

Ding!

[You defeated the [Small Resentful Dead Wood Golem: Lv6]!]

[You gained 600 EXP]

The golem fell to the ground in an instant, being torn apart easily! Wow… these Land Spirits were really amazing fighters! However, after each one of them killed a Dead Wood Golem, they all suddenly became more and more transparent and disappeared!

W-Wait! Don't leave us yet! They just suddenly disappeared, but they took down three Dead Wood Golems at the very least. However, I had yet to recover enough Mana to summon more of them yet.

However, there was more! Belle and Loki were in the fight, and although Acorn grew excited after seeing the amazing power of my Land Spirits, he quickly realized they would go away pretty quickly, so he quickly took out his potions and began throwing combustion flasks over the nearby golems, setting all three on fire.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"GRUUUOOHHH…!"

The three Dead Wood Golems left suddenly cried in pain as their entire bodies slowly began to burn, their HP was slowly going down as well, so it was the perfect opportunity to smack them! This didn't feel as bad when you think that they're just a pile of walking wood, were golems even alive anyways? These were made of dead wood, so perhaps not… Could they be some sort of Undead? Ah! This was no time to think about these things!

"Acorn, the flowers! Go pick some while it's still not 2 PM! Hurry!" I said.

"B-But the Mushrooms and the Crows must be nearby! What if you can't fight them?!" he said.

"I can! Don't worry about us! Quickly go pick them up, we'll support you, and we won't let any monster touch you!" I said.

"O-Okay!"

Acorn trusted me as he ran into the garden, ignoring the golems that were being distracted by Belle's powerful horn attacks. Belle's efforts made one of them finally break its left leg, losing its balance and falling into the ground!

BOOOM!!!

"GRUUUOOH…"

"MEEE!"

The warmonger Belle roared angrily, as she enhanced her horns with the deadly power of her Berserk Mode Skill, making them glow with red color, and then headbutting the Golem in the ground, hitting right into its chest, the weak spot!

CRASH!

The golem's core broke right at that moment, shattering into pieces as the golem slowly crumbled into mere dead wood and "died" on the spot.

Ding!

[You defeated the [Small Resentful Dead Wood Golem: Lv6]!]

[You received the [Dead Wood] x2 and [Shattered Golem Core] x1 Items!]

[You gained 120 Gold]

[You gained 600 EXP]

Even if a Summon defeats a foe, as long as it was my summon, it was as if I defeated it instead… I feel like I am stealing her kill, but that's the playstyle I decided to embrace, I was more of a summoner/tamer than anything else! Although I was pretty good at plant manipulation, I guess.

There were two other golems, and as I kept my distance from them, Loki was annoying one of them by using her vines, which she used to parasitize the golem's legs, piercing the wood, and absorbing what little energy it had from the inside out.

Crack… CRASH!

The golem's legs cracked, and it fell into the ground as well. It seemed that the way to reach them was by breaking their fragile legs! I saw Loki giggling maliciously, as she used her long vines with the new Skill she got "Vine Attack" and began to whip the Golem's chest, all while Belle caught the golem's log-like arms that were trying to crush Loki and began to headbutt them until they broke.

CRAAASH!

"GRUUOH…!"

Ding!

[You defeated the [Small Resentful Dead Wood Golem: Lv6]!]

[You received the [Dead Wood] x2 and [Shattered Golem Core] x1 Items!]

[You gained 120 Gold]

[You gained 600 EXP]

And like that, Loki suddenly broke the golem's core and killed it by merely whipping its chest! Weren't my Summons amazing? Oh, and I got enough Mana to summon more spirits once more! But where were the crows and mushrooms Acorn said? I looked back at Acorn and he reached the garden, picking several flowers in an instant and saving them inside his Item Bag, which was like an Inventory that could save many things inside.

However, as he was picking the flowers, I saw them! Several shadows moved atop the trees, flashing through the air at incredible speeds, there were also other smaller shadows approaching, jumping around as they were said to be walking, but had no actual legs, these were not walking mushrooms, those were jumping mushrooms! And the crows as well, those were the shadows atop the trees, they're here!

"GRUUUOOH!"

One of the Wood Golems was still alive, and angry, its entire chest suddenly began to glow, as if it was trying to gather energy, and then, it unleashed a red beam from its very core towards me! W-Wait a second, golems can do that?!

"Wood Shield! Wood Shield! Wood Shield!"

TRUUM! TRUUM! TRUUM!

BOOOOMMM!!!

Three Wooden Shields showed up, protecting me from the powerful beam, as all three of them were broken easily. Yet the beam almost reached me if it wasn't because I jumped to the side and began to roll through the ground!

"Uwawawaahh…!"

TUMP!

I ended up hitting a nearby tree with my head, and it really hurt a lot! But I was fine, my HP was down a bit but it was constantly recovering, Dryads had amazing regeneration in the forest, and this was my domain! I won't let these monsters do as they want with the little Acorn, and that damn golem, I was going to kill it!

I looked at the last Dead Wood Golem, as I ran towards it and then shaped my hand into a wooden branch, a sharp wooden branch spear!

"GRUUOH?!"

"You damn pile of wood!"

I stretched my arm into a long spear, reaching the golem's core in an instant, and piercing it through!

CRAAAASH!

"GRUUAAAAAH…!"

The golem's core shattered into pieces, and the golem's very life essence dissipated quickly after! Heh, this is what you get for messing around with me!

Ding!

[You defeated the [Small Resentful Dead Wood Golem: Lv7]!]

[You received the [Dead Wood] x2 and [Shattered Golem Core] x1 Items!]

[You gained 160 Gold]

[You gained 700 EXP]

[Loki] Level has increased from Level 3 to Level 4!]

[Loki] has learned the [Vines of Steel: Lv1] Skill!]

Oh, even Loki leveled up now! She learned a new Skill named Vines of Steel, by briefly checking it, I learned it made her vines as hard as steel in exchange for MP, and any Summon could drain MP directly from the Summoner as well, so she could keep it up for a while, that's an interesting Skill.

However, I didn't have any time to look at the changes Loki underwent, I had to quickly move towards Acorn to help him out, after all I promised him that I wouldn't let anyone touch him.

"Uwaah!"

"CRAAA!"

An angry Vengeful Crow of almost 50 centimeters big flew down towards Acorn, attempting to attack him with the crow's sharp beak!

"Belle, Loki!"

My two Summons obeyed my commands, as Loki and I jumped over Belle and Belle quickly brought us towards Acorn! Loki then extended her vines and enhanced them into becoming as hard as steel, catching the bird midway through the air and then smacking it into the ground!

CRAAASH!

"Craaa…!"

Ding!

[You defeated the [Vengeful Crow: Lv4]!]

[You received the [Black Crow Feathers] x1 [Black Crow Meat] x1 Items!]

[You gained 80 Gold]

[You gained 400 EXP]

[Belle] Level has increased from Level 4 to Level 5!]

[Belle] has learned the [Unstoppable Strength: Lv1]!]

That Crow died super-fast! Loki had really become stronger now, she just grabbed it and threw it down into the ground and smacked it to death… Terrifying! And to boot, Loki had become stronger now that enemies couldn't easily attack her vines that were as hard as steel all thanks to her new Skill.

Belle had acquired a new Skill right after Leveling to Level 5 to boot, which was named Unstoppable Strength, this Skill enhanced her strength while charging against an enemy, and also passively increased her STR by +20%! Amazing, I felt like this Skill shouldn't belong to a normal Goat… Is the Nature of the Summon affecting the Skills she could learn? If that's the case, then it was quite interesting… Also Summons learned Skills by merely leveling up, which was such a cheat compared to normal players… But unlike us, they only had 10 slots for Skills, which were all Race Skills, they didn't have Job Classes to have Job Class Skills.

"Acorn! Did you pick the flowers?" I asked, as Acorn quickly jumped over Belle's back.

"Yeah, I did!" he said. "But there are so many crows and mushrooms…"

"We'll have to defeat them to get out of this place, so get ready to fight… We are making that medicine today without a doubt!" I said.

"Alright!

"CRAAAA!"

Several crows quickly flew towards us, letting out angry cries that sounded just like real life crows, and began to unleash dark auras from within their bodies… these were not normal crows!

Wait, were there Dark Beasts mixed with them?!
