Chapter 29 - 028 "Golem

Chapter 29: 028 "Golem ``` "Hmm?" Inside the carriage, Shane, who originally did not plan to speak again, suddenly appeared thoughtful as he directed his gaze towards a certain direction. (An enemy...?) Shane's Enemy Detection skill reacted, informing him that an enemy had appeared. (The reaction isn't very strong, indicating a low level, and there's only one of them.) Shane quickly made this judgment. However, Shane did not alert Vivian and the others. After all, he was currently just a new adventurer who hadn't learned any skills. Speaking up without reason might arouse suspicion afterward. So, Shane intended to observe quietly and seize the opportunity to act. Shane underestimated Vivian's team a bit. "— Vivian!" In the next second, Tielle abruptly raised her head, breaking her silence, and spoke with a vigilant voice towards the direction of the carriage seat.@@@@ "...!" Vivian, driving the carriage, immediately tightened the reins and stopped the carriage amidst the horses' loud neighs. Inside the carriage, Lu Muya and Merica were already standing up, entering a state of alertness. Witnessing this scene, Shane was initially surprised but quickly understood. (Have they already detected the enemy?) Shane glanced meaningfully at Tielle, who had jumped out of the carriage. This girl likely had the Enemy Detection skill, just like Shane. Unfortunately, her Skill Level was low, causing her to detect the enemy later than Shane. Vivian and the others were well aware of this, immediately becoming alert the moment Tielle alerted them. Their rapid response showed their cohesion as a team of adventurers. As a result, Shane followed behind Lu Muya and Merica, carrying his pack and sword as he leaped from the carriage. (Firstly, I can't use Extreme Transformation or display resistance skills, so I mustn't get hit.) Unlike Extreme Transformation, an actively used skill, a passive skill took effect permanently once acquired, and Shane couldn't choose to use or not use it at will. So, to ensure his passive skills wouldn't be exposed, Shane had to avoid detection as best as he could. Additionally, his fighting method needed to slow down, avoiding too much display, and during Evasion, he needed caution to keep both the Military God and Evasion skills concealed. As for the Holy Sword, it was naturally out of the question to use it. (But I can't be too clumsy either.) Otherwise, if Vivian and the others deemed him unfit as an Adventurer, the test's result would be detrimental, undermining his goal of becoming an Adventurer. Therefore, Shane needed to perform adequately but not excessively while concealing his numerous skills to avoid exposure. (...This is too difficult for me.) Shane felt troubled at heart. But the demon showed no mercy toward Shane's predicament; with Heavy footsteps, it had already charged before Shane. "Here it comes." Shane could only shake off all thoughts and focus completely as he looked at the Golem before him. At that moment, the Golem, now in front of Shane, raised its massive arm and swung its stone-like fist at Shane. The Evasion skill immediately reacted, prompting Shane's body to dodge. However, to prevent exposing his skill, Shane restrained himself and only twisted his body to dodge the attack awkwardly, waiting until the Golem's fist was nearly upon him. Immediately, a gust of wind rushed past Shane. "Boom!" Amid a Resonating ground-shaking noise, the Golem's Heavy fist brushed past Shane and struck the ground, causing the earth to tremble and sand and rocks to swirl. At this point, Shane, having dodged to the side, abruptly moved, seizing the opportunity when the Golem was stiff from its missed attack. "Clang!" With a clashing sound, the Sharp sword traced an arc, smashing into one of the Golem's legs, forcing it to kneel on the ground. ``` Enhance your reading experience by removing ads: Remove Ads Now
