My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~

What I learned from training in the sand with Athena was that it was much harder to handle than wood.

Since it was already made of little particles it was easy to change its shape but…

「Hardening and maintaining it is difficult.」

I tried to make a sand golem but once it got too large it started to crumble and fall apart.

At this point I was finally able to make a golem around 3 meters large, what I would call a medium golem. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

Furthermore, unlike the wood and water golems it was quite slim.

「U-umm, though you say it’s difficult you already made a golem like this Daichi-oniisan.」

「Well yeah. Just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean I can’t do it.」

It was just that the degree of difficulty had changed.

Looks like I’ll definitely need more practice for a sand golem.

……using it to make a building seems even harder so I’ll leave it for later.

I had made a sand castle miniature for fun, but even that took quite a bit of time.

The sand was fairly hard to use so I had to think more carefully on how to use it and where.

It was a troublesome material I thought when…

「Ah! Daichi-oniisan somethings coming over there!」

Athena suddenly cried out.

「n? Over there? You mean from the lake?」

I turned to look where Athena was pointing.

There I saw a several meter large grey and black rock.

Actually it looks like it’s heading over here.

「What is that? A golem?」

「No Daichi-oniisan. That’s a Rock Crab.」

「Rock Crab?」

「Un, it’s a crab that mimics rocky outcroppings by the side of water. It usually stays still peacefully but gets rougher when hungry.」

That’s….a crab?

Certainly if I look closer it had some similarities to crabs.

Adding on its large snapping claws I could definitely tell that it was headed straight for us.

「——so that means…it got angry and is coming to attack us?」

「That…seems to be the case. It is technically a creature that attacks humans after all.」

「Fumu fumu, then it doesn’t matter if I beat it up.」

I said and Athena nodded with a complex look on her face.

「Un, but this Crab has a shell that is hard and thick like a rock so flames and physical attacks don’t work well on it. Honestly with the power I have now it wouldn’t really harm it.」

「Physical damage doesn’t work well huh? …..then maybe I should let this sand golem give it a shot.」

「Eh?」

Athena tilted her head in confusion as I turned to order the sand golem I had just created.

「For now…hit that crab sand golem.」

I wanted to know the endurance and strength of the golem I had just made.

Since it was supposedly strong and thick then it was a worthwhile test.

Those were my thoughts as I gave the order. Then…

「——」

The sand golem immediately obeyed.

It walked as if sliding across the sand towards the Rock Crab.

Then with movements smoother than any golem I had made so far…it swung its fist.

「Gii………」

The Rock Crab with its prided defense charged towards the golem with a cry.

There was a head on clash.

—Gusha—

The sand golem’s fist caved in the Rock Crab’s body.

In the middle of the Rock Crab’s shell was a huge dent.

Following that the Rock Crab collapsed to the ground and died.

「W-waaa~…….Daichi-oniisan’s magic hardening seems to be better.」

「…….I guess so. This also might be part of the sand’s special characteristic.」

Looking at the aftermath you could see that the surrounding area was shaved away.

The sand was rough and particulate so when swung as a fist with high velocity it produced a scraping and shaving effect.

「So it shaves it down as it strikes. If I don’t reduce its grinding power it could be dangerous.」

If I left it as is, the entire body would just be a grinder.

In fact the blow it gave was overdoing it.

「I finally got to see a crab like this…I was hoping I could use it a little longer.」

「Ah-ahahaha……b-but in the end you got some good prey Onii-san. The Rock Crab is supposed to be delicious.」

「Oh really? Since it’s so big we can have plenty then.」

Just like Athena said, I had gotten myself a ton of delicious crab meat safely.

Perfect, it was close to lunchtime so I was looking forward to tasting it.
