MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

Ron's eyes widened, because of the specific skill he saw in the Wyvern's Status page

1?? Absolute Zero < Lv. 5 >

-- Create an elemental field that'll change the surrounding temperature to Absolute zero.

~ 800 Mana

~ 1 hour cooldown

The Skill itself wasn't particularly terrifying, but the problem was that you had to get close to the Wyvern to seriously damage it.

John and Luke couldn't damage the beast and Ela was a fire mage. Most of the spells in her kit would be useless because the flame would simply be extinguished by extreme coldness.

The only two who could really harm the beast now were Ron and Abigail, but unfortunately they had little to no damage.

The group members exchanged the glances and ran towards the nearest wall. John used his bloody sword to cut through the spikes, and Ela used her flames to melt a hole in the wall.

With the efforts of the two teammates finally a hole big enough to escape through appeared.

Of course the escape wasn't as easy as it sounds.

While the hole was being melted, Abigail had to use all of her remaining mana to create a shield. The Wyvern kept spitting ice breath at the group trying to prevent them from escaping.

Ron used his swords to keep the beast from getting too close. The situation was disastrous, and when the wall finally broke, the group ran into the forest without looking back.

The wyvern could only watch them from behind as it furiously tried to fly into the air. Unfortunately, for the monster, his wing was badly injured and it was very painful. Protecting his wing with ice, the monster used his power to destroy both his and Ela's domains before walking back to the cave.

Its main target was in the cave...

I was struggling...

My luck was so shit that, another stone golem showed up. I don't remember seeing any golems other than the stone ones for a few days.

I've already killed about 40 golems, and most of them were stone golems. I consider the stone golems to be the least worth my time because the materials they drop are too cheap.

Although the materials weren't good, some of my skills have improved.

Inventory:

1?? < Mana Potion > x3 pleting the quest. The problem was that I haven't seen a golem in an hour.

It can't be that I cleared out the whole cave?

I Couldn't? Right...

Reassuring myself that more enemies would soon spawn, I chose a random direction and entered a dark tunnel.

...

I found no golems. The tunnel was completely empty.

I was a little irritated, because I had a lot more stuff to do, but the golems just didn't spawn, it wasted a lot of my time.

Checking the clock, I started sprinting through the tunnels looking for monsters to fight.

Sure enough, after some time I found a lone iron golem lying on the ground in one of the narrower tunnels. His body was hidden in some rocks, but I quickly recognized him because I saw some ores shining here and there on his body.

A few blasts of shadow were enough to take out the enemy.

' 9 more to go! '

I muttered under my nose. I was already mentally tired and had to log off to get some rest. I haven't slept in a few days because I've been fighting golems.

Even though the time in the game is different from real time, the tension in my mind is still there.

When the game will gain worldwide popularity, a new version of Pods will be released.

The pod will be designed specifically for the game Fragmental and will have a function that'll allows you to rest while playing.

I was spaced out and didn't notice that I walked past a group of golems disguised as rocks.

Whoosh...

I heard wind behind me and quickly rolled forward, only to dodge a huge fist.

As I turned around, I saw a group of 6 golems running towards me. They were all stone golems, but I couldn't care less, I was too tired to complain.

I already had enough materials to sell them for a house in a relatively safe area. At least then my parents would be safe. But, of course, I'm going to aim for the top.

I pushed the thought aside and summoned a shadow blast while using shadow energy.

Boom...

Soon after, a loud explosion was heard in the cave. My spell hit the chest of one of the golems, killing it instantly.

The other monsters were stunned to see their comrade defeated in one blow.

" Let's finish this quickly " f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

I smiled and cracked my knuckles.

The golems felt dread wash over them, and although they had no emotions, they unconsciously took a step back.

The real devil was standing in front of them.
