Chapter 164 : Mud Golem
Chapter 164: Mud Golem
「Boom!!」
Dust billowed everywhere.
Gauss and Arya dodged quickly.
They weren’t hit by the attack.
Еn̄ üm̀ а́
In that fleeting instant of danger, Gauss had already seen the attacker’s true form.
Mud Golem, an Elite Monster.

A relative of slimes and mud monsters.
However, it was stronger than ordinary slimes and mud monsters. According to books, its Challenge Rating fluctuated between Tier 1 and Tier 3.
This type of monster was made of sludge, dirt, stones, humus, and even animal remains. As long as its core wasn’t destroyed, it could continuously absorb matter from the ground to repair its body—one of the opponents Adventurers least wished to encounter.
「It’s a Mud Golem, an Elite Monster. Be careful.」
Еn̄ ǔ.ḿ а̀.і̂ d̂
Gauss relayed the information he had obtained to Arya.
After hearing it was an Elite Monster, Arya’s expression flickered as she quickly focused her mind.
The danger level of Elite Monsters was incomparable to that of Low-level Monsters. Even experienced Adventurers needed to approach them cautiously.
Outside the window, the Raven Ike let out a piercing screech, accompanied by the Mud Golem’s muffled roars.

Clearly, the Raven flying outside was drawing the Mud Golem’s attention, buying time for the two inside the building.
「Let’s head out first.」 Gauss decided instantly.
Еn u̇ m а . і ḋ
This ruin of a building had likely stood for many years, its structural integrity dubious. Against a Mud Golem’s attacks, it wouldn’t provide protection—instead, it might collapse, leaving them at risk of being buried alive.
「Mm.」
Arya vaulted onto the Gray Wolf Ulfen.
The two quickly withdrew from the rear of the building.
「Fight or flee?」 Arya asked.
In theory, the probability of encountering an Elite Monster on the first underground floor of the labyrinth was quite low.

Fortunately, the two had reacted quickly—if it were an ordinary Low-level Adventurer, a moment’s carelessness might have seen them killed by the Mud Golem’s first wave of attacks.
「How about we give it a try?」 Gauss didn’t sense overwhelming danger from it.
However, judging by the destructive power of its earlier strike, it wasn’t weak either—overall, perhaps a fairly matched opponent.
At present, his Elite Monster Encyclopedia contained only two entries: the Mantisman and the Half-Ogre. He was still three entries short of reaching the second stage of the Path of Elites.
If possible, he didn’t want to miss this Mud Golem.
Gauss looked into the distance.
W̌е b̌ ňо̆ v́еl Eñ u̇m̄а
There, he saw a humanoid monster made entirely of deep brown mud, its surface visibly mixed with various unidentified substances—
Muddy water, weeds, branches, and occasionally a few bones from unknown creatures.

Its form was round and bloated, its lower limbs short and thick, standing about four to five meters tall.
Facing such an opponent, the Raven had already flown far away, giving the Mud Golem no chance to attack it.
It probably wasn’t a Tier 3 Monster...
Gauss pondered.
Ê ň ū m а̊ . і̄ ḋ
Firstly, it didn’t fit the labyrinth’s monster distribution rules; secondly, the sense of threat it exuded was lacking.
It was either Tier 1 or Tier 2—most likely the latter—though Gauss couldn’t be certain.
In sudden encounters, determining a monster’s Challenge Rating was often vague.
Forget about some kind of “power level detector” like in certain works from his previous life that could precisely quantify an enemy’s combat strength—even the distinction between levels was hard to pin down.

Monsters of the same tier could still vary in strength.
Their physical condition, whether injured, the state of their weapons or equipment, whether they could bring out their strengths against certain opponents, whether they could hide their weaknesses—these factors had huge impact.
E n ū m.а́
Therefore, without actually fighting, it was hard to say whether one could win—unless there was already a large disparity in level.
「Stay safe.」 Gauss reminded Arya.
「Understood.」
Arya didn’t dare dismount—Mud Golems had ranged attacks.
Against opponents effective at both close and long range, one had to be especially careful—distance didn’t guarantee safety.
Her mobility was far less nimble than Gauss’s. Fortunately, although Ulfen couldn’t serve as a long-distance mount, its short-range burst power and movement speed were excellent.

The Raven Ike returned to Arya’s side.
Having lost its target, the Mud Golem turned its attention back to the two of them.
「Mmm!!!」
The Mud Golem growled deeply, its massive foot stamping the ground, causing it to tremble.
Gauss sharply noticed the surrounding dirt flowing upward along its ankles like a living thing, quickly filling in the parts of its body lost from throwing its earlier attack.
「So, attacking its body—no matter how much damage—is meaningless.」 Gauss’s pupils narrowed slightly.
Е̃num а.. і d̊
Or rather, it had no body—only a core.
Unless the Mud Golem’s core was removed from the thick material encasing it or shattered, it could quickly recover even if “heavily injured and broken.”

What a troublesome innate ability...
Seeing the Mud Golem raise its hand again, Gauss instantly activated 【Enhanced Jump】.
With his Class Rank at Tier 2, his Strength, Agility, and Constitution all over 8, plus the hidden bonus from his 【Reptilian Strain】 racial talent, dodging attacks from nearly twenty meters away was not difficult.
「Bang!!」
E ṅū m̄ а̃. î d
The earthen projectile crashed down, leaving a deep crater in the ground, scattering debris like shrapnel.
「Thud!」
Some unavoidable debris struck Gauss like stray bullets, instantly triggering a layer of pale blue ripples on his body’s surface.
Heavy...

The Gauss Force Field blocked these seemingly harmless but actually dangerous fragments.
Don’t underestimate such attacks—if they hit the head of an unprotected Adventurer, especially a spellcaster, bad luck could mean instant death.

This was why Gauss valued protective skills so highly. They might not help him level up faster, but they could block unpredictable, sudden dangers.
Gauss took the Bone Wand from his storage pouch.
Before setting out, he had already replaced the Sub-core Skill Slot with Magic Missile.
【Burning Hands】 and Magic Missile each had their pros and cons—【Burning Hands】 was better for clearing Small Monsters, but Magic Missile excelled against stronger single targets.
And this Mud Golem was likely fire-resistant—its “body” could be replaced at any time and wasn’t flammable.
Melee attacks wouldn’t work either—a longsword could pierce only about a meter in, and he doubted it would reach the Mud Golem’s fat, bloated core.

Magical energy surged through Gauss’s body.
After advancing from Tier 1 to Tier 2 as a magic user, his Cup of Magical Power was strengthened, and he could draw on magical energy faster.
Especially when casting Tier 1 Spells, his speed was noticeably faster than before.
Three blue orbs swiftly formed in front of Gauss, whistling through the air!
「Boom!」
The Mud Golem had just finished its attack when Gauss immediately retaliated.
Е̃ n u m̃а̊_
The Magic Missiles tore through the air, trailing deep blue tails, striking solidly into the Mud Golem’s body.
