I Became a Gallery Newbie Beloved by Transcendents
Chapter 32
I wrapped my body in protective aura, then stepped forward.
FLASH!
Light engulfing my vision.
I quickly crouched behind the rocky outcrop serving as cover.
The cyan radiance burst three more times.
The rock withstood the golem’s attacks three times before crumbling.
Good.
Imprinted in my mind.
And I surged forward. The air rippled with sound and receded sharply backward.
I bounced elastically, going upward.
I thought I just needed to avoid the beams.
-Target, acquired, eliminate.
The words flowing from the golem’s mouth made me realize that wasn’t the case.
Along with an incredibly crude action.
After reaching the nape of its neck, its weakness, an unexpected event occurred.
SCREECH!
The golem’s shoulders, which I thought only emitted beams, twitched and its fist extended outward.
I brought the Mirror of Transformation to the front and increased its size.
The shield absorbed the initial impact, but the force that followed was too great.
My body floated upward.
CRASH!
My body was hurled far back.
Since I was thrown while wrapped in protective aura, my body was relatively unharmed.
No more time to delay.
BOOM!
A magical beam quickly shot at the spot where I had just been standing.
Again, by the narrowest margin.
[Skill ‘Field of View Expansion’ level has increased. Lv4]
The beam’s trajectory warning appearing in the golem’s eyes.
Left first, right after.
SCREECH!
First avoiding the one rushing diagonally from the right.
And deflecting the beam pouring straight ahead with the Mirror of Transformation.
Fortunately the golem’s pupils were large, otherwise some part of my body would have been shattered already.
After avoiding all the descending beams, I narrowed the distance to the red golem’s immediate vicinity.
The golem was looking down at me from above.
“This is a bit scary.”
I layered aura blades onto the great sword Karnavalt.
And slashed horizontally.
The golem’s legs, which were rock itself, fell to the ground.
The golem’s body settled down heavily, shedding fragments.
I wouldn’t have been able to cut it without the blade aura.
[Level has increased!]
[Lv.21 → Lv.22]
Red lights flickering beyond the mist were visible.
Even after smashing three of them, roughly a dozen more remained from a quick glance.
I hadn’t entered their radius yet, so the beams weren’t rushing in.
I turned my head backward.
“……”
Golems probably won’t rush in from the path behind me.
Of course, I wasn’t certain.
While maintaining the heightened state of tension, I took out my terminal while hiding behind cover.
Title: I almost died standing there leisurely.

Were those kinds of golems originally supposed to appear on the 4th floor?
ã„´ Of course not lolololololol
ã„´ Water King) They don’t appear!
ã„´ You got hit by a Pandemonium
ã„´ As a warrior on easy difficulty, I only see those guys on the 35th floor
ã„´ Normal difficulty 25th floor
ㄴ Light’s Sword) 8th floor.
ã„´ Pioneer) 9th floor.
ã„´ Dragon King of Demons) Beltui- 888!
Wow.
Is this what life is?
ã„´ Anonymous*) So who’s the boss monster that appears when these guys show up
ã„´ Archmage) Mother of Fire.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Or Son of Lightning.What mother and son are you talking about?
ã„´ Anonymous*) ? Do golems have genders?
ã„´ Archmage) Well, golem engineers probably see golems as their children.
ã„´ Ho ho ho, my baby doesn’t bite people.
ã„´ They don’t bite people. They beat them to death.
ã„´ Anonymous*) What’s the strategy for those two?
ã„´ Heavenly Demon) Those two don’t have weaknesses on the nape like other golems. You need to break through the solid body barrier and destroy the magic core embedded in the center of their bodies.
ã„´ Anonymous*) How do I do that?
ã„´ Heavenly Demon) With overwhelming power.
ã„´ Hey, if you speak based on your standards, the climber would really appreciate it.
ã„´ Heavenly Demon) Hmm, if you learned my Destruction Fist, you could easily destroy them.
ã„´Anonymous*) That’s not helpful at all.
ã„´Anonymous*) How can I use something I haven’t learned yet.
ã„´ The interdimensional trade cooldown isn’t over yet, right?
ã„´ Ice Queen) Freeze… My experience probably won’t be much help.
ã„´ Light’s Sword) The answer is in one of the attacks you’ve already faced.
ã„´ Anonymous*) ?
I wish I’d only taken one or two attacks. Yeah.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Blade explosion.
Blade explosion?
He meant I should execute that attack that the 4th rank knight Rainer used on me in the Forest of Beasts two days ago.
ã„´ Anonymous*) How am I supposed to use that?
I’ve never learned it.
ã„´ Light’s Sword) If you’ve thoroughly read the Dragon Slayer Sword manual, you would have seen the Vortex Flow section. That’s the Dragon Slayer style blade explosion.
I definitely remember it.
I read it desperately because I wanted to live.
But I’ve never actually executed it.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Blade aura and aura fundamentally move according to your will. Depending on your mindset, their versatility varies tremendously.
I could see the red lights flickering in the distance gradually getting closer. It wasn’t just my imagination. I put the gallery terminal back into my inventory.
I let the mana heart’s magical power flow through my entire body again.
[Magic Body Enhancement Lv.5 – Activating skill.]
I wrapped protective aura around my entire body.
If it weren’t for the senior Transcender Gallery members, I would have died from the beam shot by the first golem I encountered.
The fact remains, this cursed tower can only be cleared if I do well.
There’s no such thing as an easy way out.
SCREEEEEECH!
Something came flying at me and this time wasn’t a beam.
A gray light flashed from under the golem’s right forearm, and chains surged forward.
I extended the blade aura I had concentrated like a gust of wind in a straight line.
SLICE
The chains were crushed and shattered.
I threw my body forward.
I fought all day long.
After killing the chain-wielding golem, I defeated a dozen more golems afterward.
My level increased again, currently at level 23.
Yellow stone stairs spread out before my eyes.
As I climbed the stairs, I could see ten golems looking up at me from the ground below.
I let out a faint sigh and drew up magical power again.
[Magic Body Enhancement Lv.6 – Activating skill.]
Along with the magical power enhancement due to leveling up, the Magic Body Enhancement skill also increased by one level.
I was about to go down and dance with my blade again.
BEEP!
With a strange sound, the red stone hanging on the wall flickered.
The light that had been shining brightly until just now went out.
Then suddenly the golems huddled up and stopped moving.
I took out my terminal.
I photographed the golems.
Title: What are these guys doing now?
Author: Anonymous*
Looking at them, they seem to be sleeping.
Attachment: 8904385930.jpg
ã„´ They are sleeping.
ã„´ Archmage) But if you approach them, they’ll wake up immediately.
ã„´ Absolute Monarch) When those guys were resting, I just rested along with them.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) Rest. If you can.
ã„´ Closed Room Theorist) Golems sleeping is kind of cute – This world is made up of a giant sealed room
There’s one comment from someone who’s lost their mind.
ã„´ Spear King) If you disturb them while they’re sleeping, they go into rage mode. It becomes a headache.
ã„´ Elf) Those things sleep for an hour at most.
…Is this some kind of mutually agreed rest time or something?
I decided to use this time for a meal.
I took out jeyuk deopbap (spicy pork rice bowl) and had a hearty meal.
And I relaxed for a moment, releasing the tension in my body.
BEEP!
As the elf senior said, the golems woke up after an hour.
ㄴ Light’s Sword) The moment they stretch out after finishing their sleep.
ã„´ Absolute Monarch) That moment is their clearest weakness.
ã„´ Pioneer) You said there were ten of them? Take out at least two of them at that moment. Plan your movements.
This was the advice from seniors that I saw a few minutes ago.
And since entering the 4th floor, I had resolved to become a junior who follows the seniors’ advice even more diligently.
I held a black short spear in my right hand.
[Magic Body Enhancement Lv.6 – Activating skill.]
With full power.
I swung my arm like a whip.
KWAGWAGWAGWAGWANG!!
The spear I threw shattered the head of the bronze golem at the very end.
And after raising my protective aura, I kicked off the stair railing, landed, and removed the magic core of the yellow golem.
Then I destroyed the core of the golem on the left with my great sword.
HWOOOOONG!
While taking down one more in a straight line, I couldn’t respond to the green golem coming in from the right side.
KKWAAANG!
The golem’s fist struck me directly in the side.
Even though I wore new armour and surrounded myself with a protective aura, I felt a heavy pain.
CHWAAAAK!
My body was pushed straight back.
I endured desperately while firmly planting both feet on the ground.
A sensation surged.
The desperation from when I fought the Orc Commander.
And the intensity from when I faced the Kobold King.
I took down ten.
Then five more.
After my right shoulder blade was torn by the huge hand of a black golem, I applied emergency treatment with a potion.
Fortunately, I was able to crack one more skull and level up.
Current level 24.
Now the path was straight.
I continued walking.
KUGUGUGUGUNG……
The sound of the dungeon shaking could be heard.
There was no more path ahead.
Only a cliff.
Blue lightning rose from the gap of the downward slope.
A warning.
A warning that the boss monster would be the ‘Son of Lightning.’
He took out his terminal and entered the Transcender Gallery.
Title: Very high probability that Son of Lightning is the boss mob. Lightning just shot out from the gaps

Are there no more strategies?
ã„´ Priestess) Go for a dimensional trade with me Climber. I can block lightning for you.
ã„´ Heavenly Demon) This master shall give you the fist (拳) that can shatter the golem’s core.
Has the trade cool down not reset yet?
ã„´ Anonymous*) ? How much have I been fighting?
ã„´ Light’s Sword) It’s dawn. It seems you’ve been fighting continuously for six hours since you came down the stairs.
ã„´ Water King) As expected, young and energetic!!!
ã„´ Ice Queen) Frozen… If it had been the Mother of Fire, I would have helped you. What a shame.
ã„´ Archmage) Someday you’ll be dropped into the glacier. Your power will be essential then.
ã„´ Ice Queen) FROZEN! Well, it was a mandatory course even on hard difficulty! There will definitely be Pandemonium!
The always kind senior Ice Queen became a bit scary.
Trade with Priestess and Heavenly Demon. The deliberation was brief.
ã„´ Anonymous*) Let’s do the dimensional trade
