Chapter 165 : Suspected Pica
Chapter 165: Suspected Pica
「Bang!」「Bang!」「Bang!」
Three almost simultaneous explosions rang out.
The Magic Missiles released force field energy the moment they made contact with the Mud Golem’s body.
Its form was almost instantly blasted out into three craters.

「Mmm!!!」
The Mud Golem let out a roar.

Gauss wasn’t sure whether it actually felt pain, or if it was simply enraged by the strikes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
He noticed that the effect of the Magic Missiles seemed to be weakened by some sort of energy.
Its earthy body also contained a special kind of energy.

This made the otherwise fragile soil possess considerable resilience and toughness.
So that’s how it is…
If it were just an oversized humanoid Mud Monster, it shouldn’t qualify as an Elite Monster.
The Mud Golem’s bodily properties were somewhat similar to the non-Newtonian fluid from his previous life—when it needed to throw projectiles, the muddy stones could easily detach from its body; but when facing incoming attacks, it possessed a viscous property that absorbed impact very well.

So his earlier conclusion might need to be overturned—attacking its body could indeed weaken it, but the process would be much longer.
While pondering this—
Еn̄u m а̀
His footsteps shifted quickly as he dodged another thrown attack from the Mud Golem.
He kept about twenty meters between himself and the Mud Golem.
Engaging in close combat with a multi-ton giant was unwise, but if the distance was too great, there was a risk of losing aggro,
causing it to target his teammates instead. Also, his Magic Missiles had a limited range—twenty meters was ideal.
However, the creature’s size was too large—if its core could move within its body, finding it wouldn’t be easy.
Would he have to rely on a prolonged battle to wear it down?

It wasn’t impossible. He had the Energy Storage Gland, plenty of supplies, and could fight, retreat, and eat as needed.
Once its core energy was fully depleted, its ability to reinforce its earthy body against attacks should fail entirely.
Gauss was already forming his plan.
「Caw caw!」
Overhead—while the Mud Golem’s attention was on Gauss—Raven Ike played the role of a bomber, dropping seeds onto it.
Each seed radiated a green, life-filled glow as it landed on the Mud Golem’s massive body.

Meanwhile, in the distance, the Gray Wolf Ulfen stopped, and Arya was already prepared to cast her spell.
The oak staff in her hand slammed heavily into the ground!

「Dong!」
A faint green light spread along the ground from the staff.
That life-filled ripple swept across the ground, eventually reaching the soil beneath the Mud Golem’s feet, then swiftly climbing up its thick, stubby legs and spreading across its entire body.
Rustle rustle rustle…
Ŵèbṅо̀v̄ ё ĺ Е̊n ù mа.
The green light flowed unhindered.
The seeds dropped by Raven Ike onto the Mud Golem’s body—infused with Nature’s Bind—quickly took root and sprouted.
Vines surged forth as if on a growth frenzy, their roots burrowing deep into the Mud Golem’s body, greedily drawing its nutrients.
「Huaaah!」

The serpentine vines spread rapidly across its surface. Soon, the deep brown Mud Golem was covered in a writhing, vibrant green “coat.”
A glint of surprise flashed in Gauss’s eyes.

Indeed—since most of the Mud Golem’s body was soil-based material, it could fully sustain Arya’s vines.
And with their roots embedded deep in its body, pulling them out was like “tearing flesh from bone.”
Seeing the Mud Golem stop attacking and instead irritably yank at the surface vines, Gauss knew just how effective the Entangling Spell was against it.
After absorbing nutrients from its body, the torn vines would rapidly regrow.
It was as if a constant restraining skill was pulling it back at all times.
Gauss looked toward Arya.

He hadn’t expected her to be the one to play the key role against this Mud Golem.
“Gauss, my Nature’s Bind paired with the Entangling Spell seems to give me a faint sense of its core’s location,” Arya called out as she rode the wolf over.
“Tell me the position,” Gauss activated Message.
“Right now—it’s on our direct-facing side, just above its left thigh, in the waist area.”
“Got it. If it moves, tell me again.”
With this intel—

Gauss could now roughly lock on to its core’s location.
Having a general direction meant he no longer had to grope blindly.

While the Mud Golem was irritated and hampered by Arya’s vines, he once again formed three Magic Missiles in his hand.
He aimed directly at the spot Arya had indicated.
「Boom boom boom!」
The three Magic Missiles tore through the air and slammed into the Mud Golem’s waist.
Е́n̂ü m̆а́.іd̀
Its massive body trembled violently, its aura visibly weakening.
He must have hit it.
Through the dent made by one of the missiles, Gauss thought he saw a slightly different color in the wound.
“Gauss, its core has moved—it’s now just below the neck.”

Gauss nodded. Receiving Arya’s report, he didn’t give the Mud Golem any time to react.
Another three missiles blasted out!
Е̃nu mа
The Mud Golem clearly hadn’t expected Gauss to not only hit its core once, but immediately and precisely target it again.
「Bang!」
The core suffered a second heavy blow.
This time the effects were far more severe—the “flesh” on its surface began to drop off in chunks, falling to the ground like rain.
It seemed the core’s damage had impaired its control over its earthy body.
“It moved again…”

Arya continued to report.
“No—it’s trying to run!”
She spoke, all while channeling more Nature’s Bind to empower the Entangling Spell.
The vines and branches rooted into the soil around it began to slow its movements.
Gauss naturally wasn’t going to let it escape.
Keeping his distance steady, he quickly pursued.

His hands didn’t stop either.
Following Arya’s updated reports, his missiles kept blasting the indicated areas.

Finally…
After yet another successful hit—
The Mud Golem let out an unwilling wail, its core completely pierced through.
Its massive body instantly crumbled apart, collapsing into a small mound of dirt reeking of earth.
W ē b̃n о̊.v̊ el Ĕ n um̈а
Perhaps even in death, it never understood how that human had been able to precisely find its core every time.
「Elite Monster Mud Golem *1 defeated.」
With the kill, the third Elite Monster entry in the Monster Encyclopedia lit up.
「Path of Elites Stage 2: Defeat 5 types of Elite Monsters (3/5). Reward: Randomly gain one Elite Monster racial talent.」

「Title acquired: [Mud Golem Hunter]. This title will upgrade as the number of kills increases.」
「Current Effect: Sustained Strike. When fighting Mud Golems, your attacks will continue to cause residual damage. If using magical attacks, lingering magical energy will remain, allowing you to see the internal state of the affected area for a short period.」
Ẃеbnö v́е̂.l̀ _Еnum̆ а
Text flickered before Gauss’s eyes.
He let out a breath.
Finally—the third Elite Monster was down!
And the title’s effect seemed pretty good.
It meant his magical attacks could leave behind localized “vision” inside the Mud Golem’s body.
Though not as clear as Arya’s Nature’s Bind paired with the Entangling Spell, with enough hits, the accumulated “vision” could still roughly pinpoint the core’s location—it would just be a bit more troublesome.

The two regrouped, walking toward the pile of dirt that was gradually losing vitality and returning to ordinary soil.
“Didn’t expect it to be this easy,” Arya said with a smile.
“We just happened to counter it,” Gauss nodded.
“But… does a Mud Golem even drop any loot worth collecting?”
“The core?” Arya shook her head. She wasn’t familiar with Mud Golems either, so the Entangling Spell’s effect had surprised her. “Either way, I doubt it’s edible, right?”
She spoke and instinctively gave Gauss a wary glance.

“Ahem—don’t worry, I’m not eating this thing,” Gauss said seriously upon noticing her suspicious look.
It was just mud and soil—maybe even mixed with some unidentified organic fertilizer. What did she think he was—someone with pica? All the monster meat he ate was perfectly normal, okay?

But… wait—wouldn’t Elite Monster meat taste better than low-tier monster meat?
Arya’s words had reminded him.
If it were something like Elite Monster-grade birds or crocodiles, he wouldn’t mind trying them. According to the “recipe” records, there were indeed some Elite avian monsters that were so delicious the author had gone out of their way to note it.
Thinking this, he swallowed unconsciously.
Еṅum̊а . îḋ
Arya, who had been watching him closely, noticed the subtle movement, her forehead starting to sweat. She instinctively stopped walking.
No… he’s not really thinking of eating dirt, right?
Please no. And if he really did… could she refuse…?
