About 3.5 m in size, a rock with a black body as if made of volcanic rock opened its mouth on the hill and cried out.
It was like a doll made of piled up stones, and it looked like it had been attached to a Moai statue on Easter Island.
Most golem types look similar, but volcano golems are more difficult to deal with than other golems.
Ordinary golems boasted destructive power and defensive power that matched their ignorant appearance, but their ability itself was not great because they were basically on the side with a bit of intelligence.
If they are the same size, it means that the giant is more difficult to deal with.
However, there were golems with special abilities such as volcanic golems, thunder golems, and invisibility golems.
One of the dogs, the volcanic golem, handled fire freely enough to be called fire itself.
Jung Daesik was calm even in the face of a shout that had to be stopped by covering his ears.
He clenched his fists and shook his head.
“Come on, I’ll turn you into a pile of stones.”
“Woooooooooooooooooh!”
Once again, a loud roar filled the wasteland.
* * *
Wei hey-.
hey hey-.
“Come this way! Come this way!”
Adam Kirkland glanced at the soldiers as they walked in diligently.
While various heavy equipment unloaded by helicopter pushed away overgrown weeds, engineers were raising towers to install MFPs at each location.
Judging by the fast paced progress, it seems that the plan has not been disrupted so far.
Perhaps the contingent that went to Kamakou did a good job, and even while the helicopters were making loud noises, no monsters appeared around Oahu City.
Occasionally, Virgin Cram, Imp, and Working Merman appeared, but they were few and could be eliminated quickly.
The problem was now.
‘There must be a limit to how the dispatch team can take the time. Since there are so many monsters, just dealing with miscellaneous mobs will be quite tiring. If a volcanic golem comes down here, it’s a headache. They can attack from a distance, so if you throw a fireball from a distance, there is no answer.’
In fact, Adam wasn’t expecting too much from the contingent.
He knew that Jung Daesik was an all-in-one, but to him as a first-generation awakener, Jung Daesik was still just a young chick.
It’s only been a few years since he became an Awakened, so no matter how strong his innate abilities are, it’s impossible to guarantee that he’ll do it in practice.
Even if he had defeated the 8-star monster Beseslav, it was the same.
He wasn’t going to be sure of anything until he saw Jung Daesik’s skills with his own eyes.
‘No matter how small this island is, there are thousands of monsters teeming here. That’s too many for 14 people to deal with. It would be difficult for the contingent to block them all. The volcanic golems that will attack from the farm side have no choice but to defend the Phoenix raid.’
Adam looked down silently at the weapon he was holding.
By the way, the crew members who went to reconnaissance came back with drones.
Adam received a report from them.
“What is the surrounding situation?”
“So far, there has been no response. At the very least, there are only a few mobs hanging around.”
“It’s so noisy, but it’s as quiet as a dead mouse because everyone rushed to the place where the contingent was.”
“Don’t be vigilant. The guys will be coming soon. Be vigilant and prepare for battle!”
「Yeah!」
The Phoenix raid was stronger in defensive operations than any other raid.
In fact, as the name of the raid suggests, the raid itself had little to do with defending something.
At the very least, he would not know if he could protect his own body, but ultimately he was in a position to attack and hunt monsters.
However, the Phoenix raid was in a different situation.
This is because they have been with them from the beginning of the Hawaii recapture operation.
The Phoenix Raid contributed greatly to setting up the first base camp in Honolulu and developing it into a defensive base.
They have stopped the monsters on the front lines so that the soldiers can do their job.
Therefore, it has a unique characteristic that is specialized for defense rather than attack.
The Phoenix raid, which almost lined the area of operation, did not slow down the tension for a moment.
If you’ve been paying attention for a long time, you might get tired, but not a single person showed any signs of that.
However, as time passed, he could not prevent vague doubts from appearing.
The crew members unconsciously glanced at each other and exchanged silent conversations.
‘Why is there no offensive?’
By now, there should have been more than enough monsters to appear in hordes.No matter how much the contingent turns off the aggro, it cannot stop thousands of monsters one by one.
At least one volcanic golem should have appeared.
However, no matter how much time passed, it was still quiet, so I wondered what was going on.
The silence was gradually causing fatigue and anxiety.
It was the same with Adam.
He was staring at the forest with an expressionless face.
‘What the hell is going on…?’
I was thinking whether this silence was auspicious or bad luck, but all of a sudden, goosebumps rose up my spine.
Adam raised his arms convulsively, knowing he had to keep his composure.
It was inevitable that there was something on the other side of the forest.
Huge, powerful…
‘It’s dark, the darkness is looking over here!’
Adam bit his molars.
Then the commander who was beside him asked a question as if puzzled.
“Why?”
Adam looked at the commander who asked that question with an absurd expression.
How can you be so slow!
There’s a huge monster lurking in the forest and you don’t even notice it!
Adam was about to scream, “What a moor.”
He may have been trying to shout ‘attack’.
But then, the darkness that frightened Adam suddenly changed into the ordinary shadow of the forest.
And from there, a man with a familiar face walked out with a blunt and unconcerned gait.
“Isn’t this great?”
Adam spoke his name out of nowhere.
「Me, Jung Daesik?」
“Yes, I am Jung Daesik, but… Any problem?”
Adam looked at him with a slight frown.
He thought that an unexpected monster had appeared.
Jung Daesik appeared, so I couldn’t figure out what it was in English.
Then, looking at his surprised face, Jung Daesik explained the situation.
「Ah, I sprinkled some life on it to drive out annoying mobs……」
Adam felt very embarrassed and took care of his expression.
And he asked a question.
“Why did someone who should be on the mountain side come here?”
“There, the contingent is doing its job. I am coming from the other side.”
“From Mauna Loa? Maybe the volcanic golems are coming here!”
