Chapter 95: - Defying Enchantment
Broken stood tall in his full armor, the shiny black metal gleaming as if freshly forged. Beside him, Polly, the four-tailed fox, stood proudly. Her tails fluttered like war banners, ready to signal the start of the battle.
"Alright," he said gravely. "It's time to take on the challenge."
Polly stayed motionless and silent. She seemed to be waiting for his command.
"Are you ready?" Broken asked her softly.
She nodded silently in reply.
"Yeah... being a little dramatic in this kind of situation is alright," he continued. "Let's make every moment count and enjoy each battle as if it were our last!"
His chest heaved up and down as he took a deep breath before dashing forward. He swung his sword fiercely at the boulder ahead several times until it shattered apart and scattered across the ground.
Confused about why no monsters appeared, Broken backed away slowly from the pile of stones. "Where is the damn monster?"
Suddenly, the scattered pieces of boulder began to move on their own, shifting and rolling over one another to form a large, daunting shape. In the blink of an eye, a golem-like monster towered over them, composed of gray and black rocks that clanked together eerily. Its arms were huge and heavy, and its eyes were two small pits of deep darkness. The sight was intimidating, sending shivers down their spines.
[Elite - The Guardian Golem Lv. 160]
The Golem let out a loud roar, making the ground beneath them shake.
"Golem? And level 160?" Broken looked dumbfounded by what he saw. He immediately climbed onto Polly's back, prepared to keep his distance from the Golem.
"Golems are by far the most troublesome adversaries I have ever known. Golems can't be slain by simply cutting off their heads-you must destroy their core. Until then, it will keep regenerating and moving."
"Alright, Polly, let's put our new skills to the test. We're going to find and destroy that core!"
Polly multiplied in a flurry of motion, splitting into five clones that seemed just as real and alive as the original. These clones moved in unison toward the Golem, each radiating a silver light that illuminated the area. As they neared, they slammed their bodies into the Golem from several directions, their combined strength becoming a formidable force.
Broken immediately strung his bow. "It looks like I need to create another set of equipment better suited for an archer since I'll be using this kind of weapon too," he murmured to himself.
With his Hawk's Eye skill, Broken could see with astounding clarity. He quickly drew his bowstring and took aim from a distance. "I'll try to find out where the golem's weakness lies," he said.
A robotic sound emanated from the Golem. "You will not be able to run from this place; you will die miserably," it declared. The Golem then moved quickly, striking every Polly clone that attacked it.
[Piercing Arrows (Active Skill)]
"Is it finished?" he wondered aloud, panting heavily.
The dust began to settle, and for a moment, there was an eerie silence. Broken and Polly stood
still, their eyes fixed on the remains of their colossal adversary.
Then, a faint glimmer of light emanated from the core shards lying amidst the rubble,
signaling the end of the Guardian Golem's reign of terror.
"We did it, Polly," Broken finally said, offering a relieved smile. Polly's tails wagged in
triumph, her fiery spirit undiminished by the grueling battle.
"Yes, Master," she replied contentedly. "We did it together."

He couldn't believe it; he had actually managed to defeat a level 160 Elite-grade Golem. A huge smile spread across his face as he exclaimed, "This is truly amazing!"
Broken continued to face the challenge, overcoming a series of tricky combinations and even higher-level Golems. Each battle tested his resolve and pushed him to his limits. But with perseverance and Polly's unwavering support, he managed to prevail each time.
After an arduous struggle, he had finally made it to the tenth island. Standing at the edge, he
looked around, feeling the weight of all the battles behind him. He knew that this would be the last and most formidable challenge.
"So, this is it—the final challenge!" he exclaimed, a mix of excitement and determination in
his voice.
