The last elite golem was defeated by Dojin’s magic.
As the name ‘Unstable Steel Golem’ suggests, the places where they died were filled with shards of stone flying out due to the intense mana reaction.
“Hey, is that a magic stone? I’ve never seen one that dark in color!”
Teresa was amazed as she managed to find the magic stone among the protruding rock fragments.
As she said, the magic stones left behind by elite monsters had a much darker color than regular magic stones.
This means that the amount of mana contained is large.
‘It must be top-notch among the lower grades.’
Dojin took a quick look and immediately estimated its value.
How many years of experience have you had as a wizard?
If it’s not a special magic stone, you can roughly tell the angle by looking at it.
“How many of these did you get? I’ll have to measure them to find out, but judging by the color alone, wouldn’t each one be worth 100,000 won? There’s already a huge shortage of magic stones these days.”
Dojin chuckled at Teresa’s simplicity as she chattered excitedly.
You’re giving me 100,000 won for something that’s worth at least 300,000 won.
“I’ll have to turn the meter to know for sure, but for that color and size, I think you can get at least 300,000 won.”
Teresa’s eyes grew wide at the casual remark.
Four, three hundred thousand won… …? He asked with a strange pronunciation, as if his tongue was twisted, and then began to dig through the pile of rocks that would naturally scatter into mana in a moment.
“Sangsu! Pick it up quickly! Soso, you also need to come and help quickly! If we keep doing this, the monster will respawn and we’ll run away, and we might lose everything.”
“… Are you human? I just saw you get hit in the ribs by a golem and go flying away.”
“I want to rest.”
“Hey… …! Kim So-so, if you find and pick up all of these, I’ll take you to the cafe we asked to go to last time.”
“Oh my, Kim So-so, let go of this! You pick it up by yourself! Aah! Okay, I’ll pick it up. Just pick it up! Don’t kick my ribs! Even if it’s a game, it feels weird to get hit in an injured place!”
Anyway, after a while the monster corpses will evaporate so I won’t have to go through all that trouble.
Dojin shook his head and walked towards the spot he had been looking at.
‘I think it was around this time.’
It was a place where an alien sparkle was seen at the moment the enemy’s breath was cut off.
If you see an unusual sparkle during battle, it means there is a high probability that something other than junk or magic stones has appeared.
Dojin used his telekinesis to destroy and scatter the surrounding piles of rocks.
Kururung.
‘also.’
There was no way the eyes of a dead person could mistake the sparkle of an item falling.
The corners of Dojin’s mouth went up.

+3% Mana Recovery

Steel bracelet.
It was something that Dojin also knew well.
The magic iron accessories spitted out by the unstable magic iron golem, an elite monster in the
If you look at it only in terms of ability value, it’s a level 40 accessory that doesn’t have anything special other than the mana recovery option.
It has been consistently loved thanks to its advantage of having no restrictions on wearing.
‘How much was the price back then? The bracelet was around 500,000 won, right?’
The future, 15 years from now.
Even at the time when all kinds of items were being released, this item was priced at 500,000 won.
But these days, all equipment items are precious.
Even considering that its own options weren’t all that great, it would have easily been worth hundreds.
Dojin, who had gathered items that would make a lot of money if shared with his party members, turned around in a good mood.
Then Teresa appeared with a faint smile.
“Did a lot come out?”
“Look at this! I found four!”
It wasn’t just Teresa.
Sangsu was holding the sword he found in the pile of rocks and smiling, and Soso, who was able to go to the cafe she had been aiming for with Teresa, was also showing a rare, small smile.
Although it was hard, we gained a lot, so the party atmosphere was bright and good.
I think this is probably the first time I’ve ever party hunted in such a peaceful atmosphere.
In the past, it was an extreme case of arrogance combined with voluntary and involuntary behavior.
It was a time of such self-deprecating reminiscences.
The remains of the golems scattered as if bursting into light.
It was returned to the world as the purest mana.
It was such a natural phenomenon that Dojin didn’t pay much attention to it.
I just looked around to see if I missed any items.
But at that moment.
Kuung.
The surrounding mana seemed to freeze.
Even Teresa, Sangsu, and Soso, who were not magicians, felt something strange and looked around.

There was no need to mention Dojin, the wizard.
The class most closely connected to the world’s mana was the magician, so he was the one most sensitive to abnormal phenomena.
Even Dojin knew when this phenomenon usually occurred.
If it wasn’t some special magical phenomenon, and if it was something that caused the mana circulating around the world to momentarily stop in an open dungeon like this one…
‘no way……!’
Boss creation.
Other than that, nothing really came to mind.
Dojin quickly turned his head and looked at the walls on both sides.
Red and blue. Jewels with contrasting colors were seen coagulating rapidly from the crystal stage.
“Run in the direction we came from! Quickly!”
Dojin, who had checked the jewel, shouted at the party members.
The presence of that jewel was a signal that a boss would spawn in the center of this room.
The party members who were looking around with bewildered expressions reflexively ran as soon as they heard Dojin’s shout.
There is nothing to lose by listening to Dojin. I thought so and took action right away based on the trust I had built up over time.
That trust saved their lives.
Card grab.
A giant arm formed out of thin air and swept across the center of the empty space where they had just stood.
“Uh-huh-huh… … !”
Sangsu, who turned his head at the wind pressure brushing the back of his head, let out a suppressed groan.
The sight before my eyes was too overwhelming to scream.
The process in which iron sand is pulled up from all directions and swirls around, creating a large golem.
An arm was formed, a shoulder was formed… and as the amount of iron being sucked in increased, a chest, a stomach, and the other arm were formed.
Kwaang. The guy who had fallen as if he was going to collapse hit the ground and glared at Dojin and his group.
-Koooooooo!
[
Dojin thought as he watched the roaring Four Seasons Golem.
‘Why is the progress so fast?’
Is the dungeon crazy?
Since they were the only ones who came inside, I thought there was a high chance that they would encounter either elite monsters or boss monsters.
Still, I never thought that I would hunt five elite monsters at the same time and then a boss monster would pop out right after.
But this was actually a natural phenomenon.
The reason
And the place that Dojin broke through had been closed for a long time, and mana had accumulated there.
And then they even slaughtered the monsters that had been created by the accumulated mana… Where did all the mana that was returned when they died go?
If they had been killed slowly, it could have spread naturally, but because they were caught and killed so quickly, a large amount of mana flowed into the empty lot right next door.
That was the reason why five elite monsters, ‘Unstable Magical Steel Golems’, were created at the same time, and why the boss monster, ‘Concentrated Magical Steel Golem’, was created.
However, even if Dojin is a veteran who has returned, it is impossible for him to memorize all the detailed settings of every dungeon.
From Dojin’s perspective, it just seemed like the dungeon was going crazy and was just emptying out everything it had stored up inside at once.
“Hey, what’s that? A boss monster? Why is it here now? I just caught an elite monster!”
Teresa also screamed in despair when she saw the message of the boss monster appearing in the air.
“That’s right. Isn’t that a service they give you because it’s your first time here?”
Dojin said with a nervous expression.
Teresa asks if that makes sense.
But Dojin’s words were correct.
The phenomenon of monsters being created in large quantities over a long period of time and the subsequent occurrence of them can be said to be a privilege that only the first entrants can enjoy.
“What are we going to do? No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like it’s a size we can deal with.”
Sangsu looked at Dojin and asked.
Other people’s eyes were also focused on Dojin.
Ultimately, it was up to him what choice this party would make.
In response, Dojin asked them in return.
“How long do you think you can last against that guy?”
In response to the question, Sangsu glanced at the golem, which was continuing to create its body with a whirlpool of iron powder.
“I don’t have the confidence to endure it, but I am confident that I will die in one second.”
“I think that will be finished soon. Let’s go out and think about it, and how about we bring in more people? There won’t be anyone who can come inside here anyway.”
Teresa said, pointing to the golem that was halfway up on its hind legs.
Let’s run away and rescue more people. We’ll have to split the reward as the number of people increases, but I thought it would be better than dying while trying to catch them for no reason.
But Dojin denied her words.
“No. The message that a boss has been created will be sent to everyone in the dungeon. Since this is a place where wizards live, they will have noticed that Mana has caused an abnormal phenomenon. If there is no boss in a known location, they will think there is a hidden location, and the hole we made will be discovered quickly.”
Then, while you’re away, that guy will get caught by other people, and you’ll end up only making other people do nice things.
Dojin had no such thoughts.
Dojin pointed to the four-season golem that was almost fully formed and ready to move.
“If you catch that, the reward will be huge, but you’re thinking of handing it over to other people without even trying?”
It wouldn’t be easy to get a chance to monopolize a boss in an open dungeon, right?
“You said you were willing to risk your life.”
“… … .”
Teresa looked at her friends.
Then Sangsu sighed and said.
“If you want to do it, just say so. I can’t play this game for long anyway. What’s the big deal about dying once?”
Soso also said.
“If you die here, that’s fine with me. But you have to spend the time you can’t play games with me going to all the stores I want to go to. That’s my condition.”
“Sangsu… Soso… … .”
Teresa was moved to tears by her friends’ words.
But Dojin did not allow emotional manipulation.
“If you’ve made up your mind, get ready. Because we’ve already started moving.”
Kuuung. Just as Dojin said, the Four Seasons Golem was already complete and was fully awake.
The thing made of countless pieces of iron filings looked like a lump of noise that had descended into reality.
“Three minutes at most. Just survive by drawing that guy’s aggro for three minutes. I’ll figure out a way to deal with that guy in that time.”
The heavy body of the Four Seasons Golem moved.
Dojin ran away from his party members and towards the red jewel on the far wall.
