Chapter 226 - Flesh Golem´s (2)

`Gh~! This power!´ Cursing internally, Danzel used his whole strength to stop the voulge, sadly with no success.

Leaving sparks and marks in the ground, Danzel found himself being pushed off the platform.

`Dammit!´ 

Watching how the sand controlled by Nersan came towards him, he was about to praise his quick reaction.

However, the moment he saw the sand slowing down and falling to the ground, he continued falling down.

"If you have to do something right, you got to do it yourself in the end!" Danzel cursed as he scened his surroundings.

"There!" Danzel rejoiced as he looked at a platform that was near the previous one.

`This f*cker must have jumped from there to us´ Danzel thought to himself.

And he was indeed right with the flesh golem jumping from that platform, the only problem was that the platform had similar flesh golem´s walking there. Worse of all, if Danzel continued to fall as he was, he would just miss the platform and fall with the next platform looking to be 100 meters further away.

Position himself better mid-flight, Danzel send out his mana below him and started to form two hands out of dark green mana.

As soon as the mana hands were formed, Danzel stepped with his one foot on top of one hand while his free handheld the remaining mana hand to keep himself stable while the one mana hand that he was stepping on was slowing his fall.

Commanding his mana hands to rise in the air, Danzel's fall slowed each second more.

But unexpectedly, he felt some sort of force making keeping his mana hands active.

"What is going on..." Danzel mumbled as he concentrated on keeping the hands active.

Usually [Hand of Mana Affinity] required a very low concentration from himself, essentially making them as some second limps, but Danzel now found himself each passing second that keeping mana hands was starting to require his whole focus.

Without knowing why such a thing was happening, Danzel imminently went to abandon the ship that was his mana hands similar to a sailor who spotted dozen of holes under it.

Realizing his focus on the mana hand he was holding, he strengthen the one below him while he guided his own mana into his legs.

Using a skill he hadn´t used for a while, Danzel used [Leap] to jump off the fading mana hand towards the platform.

*Tuck!

Reaching the platform, Danzel rolled to the ground.

But before he could relax, he sensed an imminent danger falling upon him.

Literally.

Trusting his instincts, he jumped to the side shortly after a massive foot made out of stone stomped the position he was previously at.

Jumping back, Danzel recovered his poster while studying the enemy in front of him.

"So it´s one of those guys..." Danzel said with a cold tone.

Watching how they walked and movements were relatively slow in the scope of a 3rd-tier combated, Danzel knew not to underestimate them.

`Confronting them with my strength would be mere suicide even for me who has to live.´ He thought as he already planned how to deal with them.

The flesh golem who saw the intruder be still alive growled with his god mouth and raised the massive voulge to swing it at Danzel.

Sweeping it so that it takes the whole pathway sideways, the air-cutting sound coming from the voulge came closer to cleave Danzel in two.

Having long realized the flesh golem´s invited to sweep him like a fly off the platform, he wasn´t stupid enough to stand and receive it.

Just about the voulge was to cleave him two, Danzel using both [Leap] and [Swift Movements] jumped over the voulge.

Pacing his feet to the floor, Danzel kicked the ground and dashed towards the hands of the flesh golem.

Noticing that the intruder dodged his well-calculated attack, it wanted to stop and try once more to flatten him.

Alas, Danzel wasn´t going to let that of happening.

"Slow!" 

Raising his sword up high, he swung at the stone hands holding the voulge a total of three times in a short amount of time.

*Brough!

The hands of the flesh golem soon crumbled and fell to the ground.

If one were to look closer at the stones that fell of the flesh golem, one could see signs of blood. Danzel though didn´t pay much of any need of that and put his sole focus on eliminating the undead hybrid in front of him.

The flesh golem that considered his hands useless now, raised his foot and went to stomp at Danzel.

`There size is as much as their own weakness.´ Danzel thought to himself as he jumped back away from the flesh golem´s stomp.

Thanks to their size, not only made the other flesh golem´s unable to help each other without risking friendly fire but also made their movements slow.

And at that, Danzel was right.

The fact that their size and materiel that they were built with made them both heavy and had more resistance with the air, making them slower. 

That was a fact.

Swinging his sword towards the ankle area of the flesh golem, cutting a large part of it, the flesh golem fell to one of its knees and supported itself with the voulge like a stick.

The flesh golem swung its arm back to where Danzel was to throw him off the platform but was way too slow.

Being forced to jump back a few steps, Danzel dashed and cut the other ankle of the flesh golems, making it fall to both his knee and bending his back.

And as Danzel predicted, the flesh golems without their legs were a sitting duck in front of him, waiting to be finished off.

Jumping and running on top of its back, he went for the kill.

Recognizing the intruder running on his back, the flesh golem head twisted slowly with blood coming out of its throat until it did almost a 180-degree turn.

When it finished Danzel was in front of its snout.

"Yeah!"

Opening its mouth to swallow the intruder whole to fulfill his duty and undying hunger.

"So the mouth is from a skull wolve, huh?" Danzel mumbled as he swung his sword to the side of the flesh golems mouth and moved past its ferocious bite.

Holding his sword with both hands, being now behind its head he swung mercilessly and left a massive cut that was as deep as half of the flesh golem's head.

"Yeah!"

Screaming in pain,  the flesh golem wanted to move his hands to hit the intruder, unbeknownst to it that it no longer had control over his body.

*Bough! 

Junping off before the fall of the flesh golem motionless state, Danzel stared at the notification in front of him in satisfaction.

[You received 100 000 XP]

"For how annoying and time-consuming they are to kill, they give quite the amount..." Danzel said as he made the notification vanish.

Hearing the howls of the lower floors and the other flesh golems walking towards his, his grip on the sword tightened.

`I might actually gather enough.´ He though as he gathers the mana from his body towards his sword.

But similar to when he used the mana arms, he felt some kind of force disturbing the mana in his sword.

Shortly after, the gathered mana breaks away from Danzel's influence and mixes with the air, making Danzel waste his mana.

"Something is wrong with this place, or maybe..."

Gazing at the flesh golems making their way towards him, he walked towards them with each passing second becoming faster.

"-They are responsible for it?"

One of the flesh golems swung his voulge down toward´s Danzel only to be dodged by the latter. Before he had the chance of realizing just like he did with the other flesh golem, the one that swung at him moved his leg away and left enough place for another flesh golem to send a kick, taking him by surprise.

"Those things-!"

Pushing his sword forward and putting mana platings in his armor, he felt the full force of the kick coming like an incoming train which sent him flying and rolling through the pathway.

He felt some of his ribs cracking, and yet Danzel raised up once more and glanced at the now destroyed sword that Nersan created for him with annoyances.

"Shit..." Cursing under his helmet, he threw the handle of the sword to the ground, he pulled a spear out of his storage ring while gazing towards the slowly moving flesh golems.

When in fact was staring in the status window of the flesh golem that kicked him.

"So that explains it..." Danzel said in understanding.

Not only did that undead have some nasty Talents such as [Tortured One], [Abomination], and so on, but some of them multiplied his already high strength of 545 by 1.2 by the cost of his agility multiplier being 0,8.

Making them extremely slow and slow.

What interested him the most where one skill called [Disturb Magic] which seemed like the cause of the disturbance that he felt a moment ago.

`That´s bad.´

Danzel though as he felt the focus on his mana plating to be disturbed and forcefully cancel the effect of his skill.

For him such a skill, although annoying, it wasn´t that he couldn´t fight because of it.

Since [Swift Movements] and [Leap] were ones that happend inside his body, they weren´t able to be disturbed, it didn´t affect him much.

But he knew full well that this wouldn´t be the same for Nersan´rah.

`Skilled as he might be, he is screwed against those things.´ Danzel though.

Looking at the platform where he fell and then back at the flesh golems, he tightened his grip on the spear and walked towards them.
