Dc: The Brother of Superman

Chapter 31: What took you so long...



Until now, I have only used runes and talismans as defense or utility, but now I'm going to use them as offensive methods.

{First, [Boost] + [Rock Golem] + [Minor Protection] + [Enhance] + [Light Rune] is my usual combo, with the addition of boost.}

In front of me, an even bigger golden golem appeared out of the ground.

Then I hurriedly used my defensive and utility runes and talismans.

{[Mind Rune]+ [Talisman of Protection]+ [Talisman of Elements]}

boosting my defense, resource management, and elemental damage.

Finally, I dismiss my staff and equip myself with talismans on each hand putting them between my fingers.

{I will use only fire and light talismans due to undead being weak to those elements; there we go...}

I threw the [Fire Spear Talisman] x4, and [Radiant Spear Talisman] x4. The paper talismans flew only a couple of inches away, then transformed themselves into four fire spears and four light spears.

 *BOOOM*!!! 

*CRASH*!!! 

Total destruction....

{Wow, it's a shame that this is not sustainable for my wallet and my mind.}

Each talisman consumes a considerable amount of mind energy, and unfortunately, my equipment can't reduce it.

{Go, golem, go nuts..} *RAAAAGGHH*!! 

He just charged there; now, with his new size, his speed is a little better, but only because he can cover more space with each step.

*Cak* *Cak* *Cak*

*Ggruu* 

*Tak* *Tak* *Tak*

*Ra,Gu,He* 

From the dust, a couple of creatures came out—the ones I need to kill and the two other ones, to be precise; the normal ones are dust, or they were completely obliterated.

{Though sons of a bi**s, guess another round of talismans is necessary, but first...}

I pull out a [Mind Refreshing Potion] out of my inventory, and while my golem is fighting with them, I chug that thing down my throat.

*Glug*

 *Glug* 

*Haaa* 

{This thing tastes like mind-flavored soda.}

 *Crash* 

*Boom* 

*Raagh*(Threat)

I was focused on the battle in front of me when, suddenly, I heard several sounds around me.

 *Arrrgg*

 *Cak* 

{Tch, more zombies and skeletons, hmm, I can try to use those runes.}

I pulled out six runes, three on each hand; these six runes had the word distance engraved on them.

When I created them, I was thinking about the laws of distance. What it does is really simple; it just stretches the distance from one point to another. There are many ways to break it, but for those low-IQ mobs, this is enough.

I hurriedly run around in a big circle, planting each run into the ground; thankfully, I'm at an intersection, so one rune for each road.

After planting them, I just activated them.

 {[ᛞᛁᛊᛏᚨᚾᚲᛖ](Distance)} 

They began to glow, and all the zombies and skeletons that were coming here now were stuck in place, but they were moving their feet without advancing any inches.

{Now that it's solved..} I looked at my golem, which was taking a beating thanks to those bastards.

This time, I pulled out only two talismans, but they were more powerful, one on each hand.

I threw the [Flame Meteor Talisman] first. I threw it up to the sky. As soon as the talisman left my hand, I felt extremely weak. Then the talisman transformed itself into a ball of fire that went rapidly flying into the sky. After a couple of seconds, I and the other creatures heard a sound.

*Fuuuuiiiiii* {Holy F....}

A huge ball of fire was approaching the ground at terminal velocity. The result was...

 *CRASHH*!!

 *BOOOOOOOOMMM*!!! 

The impact threw me into one of the buildings; I felt my golem getting destroyed, and some notifications went off inside my head.

{Aww, fu**k, it hurts. If not for the talisman, I will be dead} I feel like all my bones are broken.

I pull out a couple of [health potions], then I proceed to chug them all.

*Glug* {Aww} 

*Glug* 

*Glug* 

After chugging more than four of those, I was finally was in full health, or at least nothing hurts anymore.

{I need to hide...} Putting my usual talismans on, I hide in one of the surrounding buildings, and now that I'm safe, I can see the notifications.

{Good, main quest complete; now I need to go to the cathedral to help the party}

{[Haste]+ [Rock Golem] another refresh, ok, all clear}

I sneak outside, and I finally appreciate my destruction; a huge ass crater of at least a few kilometers was formed.

{Ok, I'm banning that talisman, only as a last resource scenario}

*********** 

I followed the path that they had previously left, and then I found myself finding more of those ghouls and special skeletons, and they were covering the entrances to the cathedral.

{Fu**k, I don't think there's another path, and I don't know if they are already engaged in battle. Ah, fu**d, let's go...}

{Well golem, you're going to be the MVP of this dungeon, [Boost]+ [Rock Golem]+ [Minor Protection]+ [Enhance]+ [Light Rune]+ [Stone Armor]}

In front of the monsters, an armored, giant golden golem appeared.

{Kill them all...} *Arrgghh*(Threat) 

As my golem was fighting the increasingly bigger crowd of monsters, I managed to sneak inside the cathedral. One could think that it would be filthy or in ruins, but surprisingly, it was in a pretty good condition, with a few twists.

For example, the furniture was made out of bones; there were purple candles instead of white ones; it had a Gothic vibe instead of a holy one; and there was an altar made out of bones, organs, and strange minerals.

{No sign of battle or struggle, so where are they?} I began to inspect every nook and cranny of this place, but I found nothing.

{There's only two doors here, the main one and the door at the back of the altar. Wait, altar}

I inspect more in detail the altar, and I notice that in the bones were inscriptions.

{This is... I think it is a spell, but which type?}

*Arrrggghh* I heard and felt my golem be defeated.

{Sh*t, no time, the door or the altar... the altar}

I put my hand into the altar and immediately began to absorb my mental energy. An arcane circle appeared on my feet, and I finally realized what kind of spell this was.

 {Teleportation, f**k} 

******* 

POV Eric 

{We fell into his trap; we don't know where we are}

When we entered the cathedral, there was no one. At first, we thought that there was a secret room, but the door behind the altar only led to the back entrance and was guarded by more monsters.

Until Mary noticed the altar, we all gathered in front of it. It was then that it started glowing, and an arcane circle appeared on our feet.

When we recovered our vision, we were somewhere else.

"Where are we?" (Tannya) 

"I don't know, but I guess this was part of his plan."

"Sorry, everyone"(Mary)

 "Don't be"(Guts)

"He's right; either way, we are going to fight him."

"Well, let's explore then." (Tanny

The place where we ended up was a giant crypt-like castle. In it, there were all kinds of creatures, from basic skeletons to warriors and mages.

At the end of our journey in this castle, we finally saw a huge bone door.

"I guess this is the place(Tannya)

"The corruption is stronger here(Mary)

 "Finally"(Guts)

"Same plan, Guts, and me on front; Tannya, look for spaces; and Mary, please be safe; don't overextend."

"Got it"X3 

I approached the door, and when I put my hands on it, I felt goosebumps. Then,  on my head, I hear. 

~{What took you all so long?} ~ In a deep, raspy, low voice.
