The surroundings were eerily quiet; not even a single monster made a sound, as they had all been frightened away by the intruder, the lava golem.

“But Lott and the others are still moving forward,” Paul insisted. “They’re all fine.”

"Have you forgotten what he said yesterday? He said he has a way to prevent the lava golem from finding us. What if the lava golem doesn't find him, but finds us?"

"Even if we encounter them, it's alright," a high-ranking mage in the group reassured them. "There are so many of us, we can hold off the lava golems for a while. It's just..."

It would be best if the Lava Golem and Lot started fighting first.

They could not only find out the location of the lava golem, but might also be able to observe its fighting style firsthand, which could greatly reduce casualties.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an explosion rang out in the distance, causing Lia and the others to look up.

That direction was exactly where Lotte and his companion were located.

"What's going on? Is there a fight?"

Paul immediately closed his eyes to sense Lotte's location and discovered that Lotte was moving quickly, seemingly trying to escape from something.

"Lotte is entangled with a lava golem! We need to get there quickly."

"Wait, it's also possible that other monsters are fighting with Lot."

"There are no monsters around. They've all been scared away by the lava golems."

Paul and the others immediately headed in the direction where Lotte had fled. When they reached a grove of trees, they suddenly heard a heavy thud from their right.

Lia froze on the spot, then suddenly turned around to look to her right.

A pair of giant hands forcefully pried open the obscuring forest, tearing out tree roots.

Bronze eyes appeared vertically in front of her, their empty gaze reflecting the images of Lia and the others.

It was a massive stone statue; if it weren't for the flames coming out of its mouth, no one would recognize it as a demon.

If Lia is not mistaken, this should be a sleeping lava golem.

The explosion and their movements had startled the other side.

“Bohr…”

Lia gritted her teeth and called out the name of Paul, who was also stunned in front of her, "What's going on? Wasn't the Lava Golem supposed to be up ahead?"

"I do not know."

Their response was the roar of the lava golem and the rising temperature around them.

"Prepare for the enemy!"

Chapter 56 A Thumbs Up from Lotte

As the battle began, Lotte saw flames powerful enough to turn the entire sky red.

He knew the locations of the lava golem and the stalker. All he needed to do was cast [Explosion] when the stalker was very close to the lava golem, and then pretend to run away to lure the stalker toward the direction of the explosion.

Lotte and Chloris climbed up a high ground and caught up with Paul and the others.

The gusts of wind generated by the lava golem's punches kept blowing Chloris's hair and even frequently brushed against Lotte's face.

Lotte squinted, staring at a sea of ​​fire in the distance.

The lava golem is a full ten meters tall, and once it enters battle, its entire body is scalded red by flames, making it look extremely terrifying.

In such high temperatures, even breathing becomes extremely difficult, let alone fighting.

However, that group of people were clearly well-prepared, and being an elite team from Attenborough, they had not yet suffered any casualties.

The twelve people stood in three groups: several warriors in front were responsible for attracting the monsters' attacks, and several warriors in the back were responsible for protecting the mages.

The remaining rangers and assassins circled around to harass the monster from behind.

This was the first time Lotte had ever witnessed a large-scale monster extermination battle, and he found it quite novel.

Meanwhile, Chloris kept her eyes glued to the battle below, recording all of the Lava Golem's fighting style.

“Lotte, there’s something I really want to ask you,” Chloris said during a break. “Did you go and pressure that mage so he would find more mages, and then you would use the lava golem to kill them all?”

"You actually think that way about me? There is no one in this world who loves the monk more than I do."

For Lotte, a dead mage was nothing more than a source of venting anger, but utterly worthless.

But a living mage is different; he can learn more powerful magic and has unlimited potential for growth.

This also allows Lotte to learn magic and grow together with him.

The lava golem's attack was extremely fierce. It drew a circle of fire on the ground, and then its body gradually melted away and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

A moment later, it suddenly burst out of the flames at the back of the group, and a ball of fire transformed into the body of a lava golem in mid-air, which slammed down on the mages.

The high-ranking mage in the group was the first to unleash magic. A rapidly swirling stream of water appeared around them, which then gradually coalesced to form a giant shield.

When the lava golem's body slammed into it, it only caused the shield to dent, but it did not crack.

Lotte received a third-circle defensive spell from a high-ranking mage.

And this is just the beginning.

The lava golem roared and slid its body down from the water shield, the steam extinguishing the flames on its body.

It pounded the water shield with both hands, trying frantically to rush in.

Lotte saw a ranger at the very end of the group sitting on the ground, his feet planted on a longbow, which emitted a strong green light.

He drew his bowstring taut and shot the arrow. As it passed the mage, the intermediate mage simultaneously activated his spell.

The tiny arrows that Lot could not see at all were suddenly magnified several times, like a longsword in the hand of a god, and pierced directly into the mouth of the lava golem.

The giant arrow pierced the lava golem's head, and the powerful inertia knocked it to the ground, causing a violent tremor.

Lotte, who was watching from the sidelines, gained another powerful spell.

As the lava golem fell, the squad on the ground began to heal during the opening.

The lava golem turned into a pool of lava and disappeared before everyone's eyes. The giant arrow on its head fell to the ground and was melted and swallowed by the lava.

The high-ranking mage raised his staff and cast a second spell during the lull when the lava golem disappeared from the battlefield.

A faint white light emanated from everyone on the battlefield.

The ground beneath the mages' feet began to bulge and crack, and lava golems charged straight up from the ground.

The warriors pulled the mage away from the danger zone, and at that moment, Pol, who was unaffected in the distance, raised his staff and cast a spell.

The wind gathered and took shape before him, constantly being compressed, and finally broke through the critical point, flying towards the lava golem with a whoosh.

The wind blade sliced ​​through the lava golem's arm, leaving a deep wound.

Faced with a formidable enemy, mages like Bohr had no choice but to unleash their most powerful magic, and could no longer afford to hold back at this point.

The warriors relentlessly attacked the lava golem, trying to trap it and buy time for the mages behind it.

A minute later, a giant red magic circle appeared in front of the high-level mage. The magic circle kept rotating, and its light even overshadowed the lava golem.

Countless points of light appeared within the magic circle, and fire arrows made of magic rained down on the lava golem. Explosions resounded in rapid succession around the lava golem, and smoke momentarily obscured its massive body.

The intermediate mage was not idle either, and also cast his own spell.

A constantly rotating ball of energy condensed in front of the purple magic circle, gradually taking shape and coalescing into a deep blue arcane missile.
