The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 137: "Elder Rock Golem"

"I give up... There really is nothing here."

After exploring the volcano for a while, there was no sign of any magical creatures, let alone any moving entities.

The crater area was left unexamined due to the heat and gas, making it impossible to approach.

It requires more powerful heat-resistant skills and skills similar to not needing to breathe.

"If there is something in the crater, there's nothing we can do about it right now."

Even if there was something, there was no effective means of attacking creatures that could survive comfortably in the current environment, which the members, including Rare, couldn't approach.

"Well, I guess we'll have to postpone it... Well, it's not that close to Liebe Great Forest or my other dominion, so leaving it alone shouldn't be a problem."

Once on the surface, I will listen to the opinions of the other members and decide whether to retreat or persist.

At any rate, we stand on a rock formation that we saw and that we largely bypassed when we were first walking up the mountain.

The considerable height allows us to see our surroundings clearly. Here, even if we took a break, we would not be attacked by surprise. If anything, it would be more helpful if we were ambushed because we would not have to worry so much.

"Now, what should we do? Is there any benefit in continuing to explore here?"

"I'm not sure. Currently, Marion, Hakuma, and Ginka are using magic to lower the surrounding temperature. However, as long as we continue this, their MP will keep decreasing. Stopping it may affect everyone's LP, and it might be better to avoid long-term activity in this mountain altogether."

Kerry's words make sense. It was hotter than expected. Reflecting as Rare, overall, underestimated this continent. There is a need for substantial introspection.

Even though it's an initial continent, there might be areas with difficulty levels similar to those unlocked in the mid-game. For example, in the vicinity of this volcano, the surrounding forest may have a normal difficulty level, but the rock mountain area could have a significantly higher recommended level.

Normally, some restrictions would be set to make certain areas impassable, but this game generally doesn't constrain players, indicating the freedom to recklessly challenge and die is allowed.

"I think I'd better come back after the authorized dungeon system is implemented and I earn more experience."

Rare is a species that has even been called a 'calamity', but considering the reaction of the Count, Blanc's protector, and the fact that she died completely unable to resist the power of the former Spirit Lord's artifact, it is hard to believe that she has that much power.

It's probably because she has just been reincarnated and is still like a baby. Certainly, even for a single human, there is a world of difference in combat power between a resident NPC on the street and a tank player like Gil who challenged Rare.

"Alright, for today..."

"Boss! Something's coming!"

Remy, who has been quiet all day, shouts. Hakuma and Ginka also tense up.

Given this combination...

"Is it sound?"

A powerful sound soon reaches Rare's ears, almost as if the ground is shaking.

"Yeah, it seems like it! Is the ground shaking at our feet!?"

Only at this point did Rare notice that the huge rock beneath her feet is faintly imbued with magic, and it's gradually becoming denser.
