Labyrinth (11)

The golem tried to catch Reyner with his hands, but Reyner was too fast for it. He was also given a buff by Felicia, so he was much faster than usual.

Felicia taught herself some buff skills just in case there was another floor 21 incident. It seemed she was scarred for life when she was forced to run and was almost crushed to death.

"Beep, beep, enemy sighted, must be eliminated!" The golem suddenly said and began to stomp on the ground trying to step on Reyner.

Reyner was able to dodge and he used his mace to hit the legs when they landed. It didn't do any damage but the loud clanging sound showed just how tough this golem was. Genji and Andrea rushed up to attack the same leg, but they found that the legs were extremely hard.

"Damn, what are these golems made of?" Genji complained as he jumped away from the Golem that was getting annoyed.

"Don't worry about not being able to cause damage, just keep hitting it in the same places!" Grey shouted in response. He then turned to Micah and Felicia. "On my command, I want you to aim for the core."

"Yes!"

Lamine was slowly circling behind the golem. She took her time and used the shadows of the cave to her advantage. She had two daggers in her hands, ready to make use of them. She had the perfect skill for when she had to climb up the large golem.

Seeing the guardian golem slam both of his arms down, Grey took this opportunity. "Shoot right now!"

Micah quickly sent out his arrow and hit it directly on the crystal. It didn't crack or break the crystal, but it did shake a bit. Felicia followed up with an ice arrow.

Lamine also jumped onto the guardian golem with a skill called feather steps and dashed across it. She stabbed her daggers into the crystal quickly before jumping off. If she stayed for too long, she would lose her footing and fall off. She was afraid of getting stepped on.

After three consecutive hits, the golem tumbled forward and fell to the ground. Everyone had to move out of the way in fear of being squashed by the golem that fell fast to the ground. Its head was to the side so that it could protect the crystal from the impact.

"Genji, Andrea, hit the crystal right now! Don't stop until I say so." Grey also dashed forward and used a sword skill, flame slash, to damage the core.

Genji, Andrea, and Grey took turns hitting the core, but it wasn't cracking. After 20 seconds, the golem stood back up and its eyes turned red.

"It's in berserk mode. Everyone, stand back!" Reyner shouted and activated another aggro-pulling skill called provoke. It used up 25% of his MP, but it increased the aggro by 100%. It would be better if he was the only one who got hit rather than his squishy team members. He knew Grey was by his side to heal him, so he went all out.

The guardian golem stomped and flailed its arms around to try to hit those on the ground, but everyone scattered and ran. Reyner made sure to stay in a specific area so no one else would get caught in it.

Seeing that he failed to hit or step on anyone, the guardian golem slammed his arms into the ground, creating a shockwave. Everyone but Reyner was swept off their feet, landing on their butt. Their legs shook, making it difficult to get up.

Without a moment to lose, the golem twisted its body and spun with its arms out, tilting its body as it moved to try to catch the ones on the ground off guard.

"Shit, I've never seen a golem move like that!" Andrea shouted while trying to scramble himself up.

Grey was the first to move and he easily picked up Micah in one arm and Felicia in the other and ran away from the approaching golem. Felicia and Micah were too scared to think so they held onto Grey for dear life.
