Chapter 64: Round two

Soon a disturbing scene of movement under the golems skin was seen. It was as if something was pushing out for an opening. Smoke billowed from the wounds it had received. The flames began to penetrate its skin parts falling off here an there. The smoke was room much to see through as the golem was consumed.

The sounds of rotten flesh hitting the grounds sickened the party but they knew this wasn't over yet. There's hadn't been a system notification.

The smoke began to clear. Ashes were falling around the golem. It had lost most of its mass. No tough skin remained. There was mostly bone and muscle. Small bits of skin burned in the ground. It's head had become much more visible. It was a grotesque held skeletal half rotten skull. A small bit of red resided within its eyes.

The now smaller golem stepped forward without an thuds or stones cracking. It had lost most of its weight and strength. It's speed had increased however, it flung its arms out towards Su. "Guard!" Su prepared to take the hit.

Shiiinngfff

A metal vibrating sound was made as she had blocked the hit. The sounds of the golems bones breaking in its mess of a hand. The golem had been pushed back unsteady. This allowed Remey and midnight to jump forward lands if blows to both sides simultaneously.

Midnight let out a small roar as she tore off one of its arms. Remeys hit was heavy, the sound of multiple bones breaking caused the golem to stumble dramatically. This allowed Su to jump forward having recovered from her defense. "Shield bash!" Su slammed her shield in to the golem, it fell to its back.

"This is out chance! Everyone let's finish this!" Walkers war cry sparked fire in their eyes. They may not of finished it after the first strategy but this second round the golem was weak and they were about to come out in top.

Midnight and Remey targeted its body. Remey jumped and smaller her fists down breaking its remaining arm. Midnight tore out bones from its very core. Gil targeted its head firing arrows in to it with precision and speed. Walker stepped forward. "Evil consuming flame!" The white fireball hit the golem which was still stunned in its back. This time the flames didn't have a chance to fall from it. They fervently consumed the golem leaving ashes and smoking bones behind.

'Undead golem defeated.

100exp gained multiplied to 200exp multiplied to 2000exp'

The party collectively breathed a sigh of relief. " whoooooooooohoooooo" Gil let out a shout of victory before jumping down from the roof.

The were all sweating from the exertion and heat of the previous flames. " I think we've earned an hour to rest." Remey fell to her butt with a n exasperated sigh.

"Agreed" Walker knew they wouldn't be able to do this indefinitely so they would have to rest between. "We also need to pick up some of the broken weapons, bones, and other things they may have had on them. The flame only burned the undead not their items." Walker didn't want to do this immediately but knew the fastest they collected these things the better. Storing them away for proof and various other reasons was a smart move.

"I really would hate to run in to another one of those things" Su spoke for everyone. The undead golem was an annoyingly tough opponent. Walker made not not to open anymore sealed doors, the danger was too great.

"So how many undead did we actually get?" Gil asked the question they were wondering about.

Walker glanced at his system. "Hold on to your seat cause this might knock you on the ground....thirty six skeletons, twenty four zombies, and one undead golem..." walker knew this was insane all at once but he didn't realize just how insane it was.

....

Clara burst through the guild masters doors. "You need to look at this now! Can a system be wrong!? This can't be right nothing I'm seeing can be right!" She was in a panicked state which turkey threw Ibis off who was used to the professional Clara.

"I mean I can see their progress as their manager so I can see where they are and what's happening. But the system just sent a crazy amount of notifications on the parties actions. It's just not possible." Clara used her system to send a string of notifications to ibis. As she was an employee and him the guild master they could share system information.

Ibis was intrigued at first seeing the list of skeletons and zombies but realized the list wasn't getting smaller. There were too many that were killed all at once. The most shocking though? An undead golem at the very end. "How could they kill all of these at once! An undead golem is a challenge of a late bronze early silver tier adventurer party!"

"That's what I'm saying they somehow did all this at once it's insane! They are taking a test so I knew they would try hard but this is too much." Clara had fallen speechless as she sat there. "I don't know what tier they will be awarded but I know it will cause waves in the guild."

"We'll have to heavily place these acts on their title. It's the only way to keep unrest from skyrocketing. I need you to start mentioning to the others about the hero party omnipotent. This is an order spread this rumor of their title as much as possible before they return." Ibis could see no other way that to make it seem that this huge jump was only due to the title they received. If someone tried to replicate whatever they were doing in the ruins many may die.

Unknown to ibis and Clara they were do for another shock and sooner than they expected.

...

"Alright we'll that's everything we could find laying around" Remey wiped her brow and smiled at the pile of bones, ancient coins, broken armor and weapons. Other various things as well but walker would store them all and let his inventory organize them.

"Then I guess it's time to gather more for round two." Walker smiled they still had a lot of hunting to do.
