Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 54

The Energy Golem was gradually approaching, and the pressure it exerted was imminent.

At this moment, Coal suddenly flashed above the Energy Golem’s head and slashed at its eyes with his claws.

For a moment, earth and stones scattered, and two portions of dirt were clawed away from the pupils of the Energy Golem.

The attack had some effect, but creatures like golems did not seem to rely on their eyes to perceive the environment.

Even though Coal’s attack hit, it did not hinder its steps whatsoever.

However, when Han Xing saw the wounds in the Energy Golem’s eye sockets emitting traces of black vapor, his eyes instantly lit up.

“The weakening effect of the Power of Void is effective!”

Coal’s Power of Void skill reduces enemy defense and suppresses healing, with a maximum reduction of 30% in defense.

It’s especially effective against enemies with high defense.

Han Xing didn’t expect that the weakening effect of the Power of Void would still be effective against this golem monster.

Knowing this, Han Xing immediately took out a potion from his Space Bag and quickly drank it down in one gulp.

[Savage Bear Strength Potion]: Increases your strength by 30% for 100 seconds.

With his attack power enhanced once more, Han Xing swiftly turned around and shot a Wind Chasing Arrow.

“Hey! Take this shot from me!”

Seeing the attack coming, the Energy Golem instinctively raised its arm.

Boom!

Dirt scattered everywhere.

This arrow, like before, hit as if on a stone.

But even stone could be penetrated by Han Xing’s powerful attack.

The Refined Iron Arrow pierced through the Energy Golem’s palm, maintaining its momentum, and then fiercely lodged into its shoulder.

“It worked!”

Han Xing felt a jolt of excitement.

Before this, his attacks only caused slight damage, which seemed negligible. Simply put, he couldn’t break through its defense.

But now, thanks to Coal’s defense reduction and the power boost from the Savage Bear Strength Potion, the damage from the second arrow soared directly.

Little Coal made a big contribution again!

Han Xing smiled with satisfaction, regaining his confidence.

Previously, the formidable defenses displayed by this Energy Golem were enough to make any survivor at this stage despair.

But now, Han Xing knew that his attacks could cause damage.

And as long as he could break through its defense, even a god could be taken down!

In the next moment, multiple arrows erupted.

Fortunately, this outburst also triggered the “Moonlight Circulation” effect of the Moon Crown Longbow.

Han Xing felt unprecedented strength as his dexterity attribute suddenly increased by 40 points, combined with the 30% strength boost from the Savage Bear Strength Potion!

As the Energy Golem saw the arrows shooting toward it, it also sensed the threat of this attack. It awkwardly tried to raise its arm to block Han Xing’s attack.

But it was too slow.

Before it could lift its arm, all five arrows had already hit their mark, piercing deeply into its body.

One of the arrows struck the Energy Golem’s core, which was Han Xing’s deliberate target.

However, to Han Xing’s surprise, this was not its weak point.

On the contrary, the defense at the Energy Core was stronger than other parts of its body.

It seemed to be an independent component of the Energy Golem, with a defense value of 100 points. Han Xing’s arrow only reduced its defense by 5 points.

Based on this calculation, it would take at least 20 arrows to destroy its core.

However, the Energy Golem’s dexterity attribute was not high.

Compared to Coal and Han Xing, both of whom had extremely high dexterity, the Energy Golem couldn’t keep up with their movements.

So next, the fate awaiting this Energy Golem was only one.

It would be kited to death by Han Xing.

Han Xing was simultaneously fighting and retreating, leaping back and forth across the entire ruins. Occasionally, he would create some distance, then turn around and shoot an arrow.

Thunk! Thunk thunk!

Han Xing mentally kept track of how many arrows he had shot.

After the 30th Refined Iron Arrow was released, the rock-like upper body of the Energy Golem was turned into a pin cushion.

A puff of black smoke rose, and the monster finally collapsed.

Han Xing let out a slow breath, “Finally took this guy down. This Energy Golem was really a pain in the ass, almost as tough as an elite monster!”

In fact, the Energy Golem was stronger than a typical elite monster purely in terms of defense. If not for its low other attributes and obvious weaknesses, Han Xing would have had to pay a significant price to defeat it.

At that moment, the system notification appeared.

[Successfully Killed Energy Golem, LV7, Gained +150 XP, Coal Gained +125 XP.]

[1-Star Secret Realm, The Lost Palace Tier 1 challenge has been completed. Please prepare survivor. In 30 seconds, the Lost Palace Secret Realm Tier 2 challenge will begin.]

“What the heck, there’s a Tier 2?” Han Xing was quite shocked.

He had somewhat underestimated the difficulty of the secret realm. Just the monsters in Tier 1 were nearly as strong as elite monsters. What would it be like at Tier 2?

And this was just a 1-Star Secret Realm. If it were a 2-Star Secret Realm, the difficulty would likely escalate by several levels.

Chu Yu earlier said he wanted to team up with other survivors to challenge a 2-Star Secret Realm. Here, Han Xing could only offer a half-second of silence for him.

Han Xing quickly walked up to the remains of the Energy Golem to retrieve his arrows.

At that moment, a system prompt appeared.

[Do you want to dismantle the Energy Golem’s scrap?]

“We can dismantle this too?”

Han Xing chose “Yes.”

In the next moment, the golem’s 3 m-tall corpse crumbled, turning from a massive rock into dust.

[Successfully dismantled the Energy Golem scrap. Obtained Special Magical Clay x647, Damaged Energy Core x1, Mithril x35, Refined Iron x464…]

Han Xing weighed the mechanical component in his hand, which was about 20kg to 30kg. This item was the part that powered the Energy Golem’s movement, the Energy Core.

Meanwhile, another system notification appeared.

[Repairing the ‘Damaged Energy Core’ requires Spirit Core x3000, Mithril x245, Ether x8000. Would you like to repair it?]

“It can be repaired, but what’s it for?” Han Xing wondered.

Unsure of its purpose, he decided to set it aside for now.

At this moment, the 30 seconds of preparation had passed.

The ground began to shake violently once again.

Rumble~

From the ruins, multiple golem giants extended their arms, revealing their massive upper bodies.

In an instant, Han Xing saw at least six Energy Golems rise from the ruins.

“Hiss…”

Han Xing sucked in a breath of cold air.

Earlier, he spent nearly 10 minutes dealing with just one Tier 1 Energy Golem.

Now, suddenly seeing six appear, this was ridiculously tough.

A tremendous pressure suddenly enveloped his heart.

Han Xing tightened his grip on the longbow in his hand, internally questioning himself.

Can I fight them?

Yes, I can.

It’s just that it will take much more time.

This will be a long battle, testing not only Han Xing’s combat awareness but also his endurance.

At the same time, Coal seemed to recognize the threat of this formidable line-up.

Its limbs were tense, and fangs bared as it issued threatening growls continuously.

Though knowing these golems would be tough to deal with, Coal was ready to charge forward without hesitation as soon as Han Xing gave the order.

The battle was about to begin!
