These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 117: Flesh Golem

Just like this, we traveled in silence.

Everyone seemed to be lost in their own thoughts about what had just happened back there.

But in the end, that silence was broken when the skeletons and zombies suddenly stopped. Experience exclusive tales on novelbuddy

The moment that they stopped, we all snapped out of our daze and focused on what was in front of us.

That was because we knew the reason why these undead suddenly stopped like this.

It meant that we had arrived at our destination.

This time, I didn’t pull out the Summoning Flute.

That was because the Summoning Flute was something that could only be used twice a day and I had already used it, so using it again would mean that I wouldn’t be able to use it for the rest of the day.

I wanted to keep this Summoning Flute ready just in case something happened.

If we needed to run, the speed of the Fanged Wolves was useful.

So I just went forward alone to scout it out.

Iris and Wang Rong seemed to want to come with me, but I stopped them in the end.

With a serious voice, they had no choice but to listen to me.

When I came closer, I found that there was a powerful aura coming from in front of me.

This was certainly an aura that was much stronger than the Skeleton Knight from before. It seemed that whatever was here was a stronger Elite Monster than the Skeleton Knight.

But it turned out that this wasn’t the case.

That was because what was in front of me was a Flesh Golem.

As soon as I saw it, I was able to tell what it was right away.

This was a very easily distinguishable monster, especially with the appearance that it had.

It really was something that was hard to mistake.

This was a Flesh Golem, a creature that was created by a lich using the corpses of many different creatures. Dark magic was infused into the corpses of the different creatures and then all of those corpses were brought into a single mass, which is what the Flesh Golem was.

Because it was a mass that was made up of all these different corpses, it had bits of different creatures that made up its body. That meant that it was just a disgusting mass of deceased flesh smushed together.

For the faint of heart, it really was hard to look at.

The thing about this Flesh Golem was that it was just standing there in the center of the forest. There wasn’t anything that was around this Flesh Golem as it stood there, though I didn’t let my guard down around it.

But looking at the Flesh Golem, I couldn’t help thinking of a weird thought.

The way that it stood there was just like a NPC in some kind of game.

Thinking back on the Skeleton Knight, it had done something similar as it just stood there in the middle of the clearing.

It seemed that none of the Elite Monsters in this dungeon were sentient enough that they were moving on their own. Or was it because they had been sent to guard something?

Was there something important here to the lich that created the Flesh Golem?

That just made me wonder if there was something hidden in the place where the Skeleton Knight had been previously.

But after a few seconds, I shook those thoughts out of my mind. It wasn’t the time to think about it right now, right now was the time to take care of this Flesh Golem.

Since this Flesh Golem wasn’t moving from where it was guarding, that meant that this should be easy to deal with.

I wouldn’t even have to personally do anything.

So I went back to bring everyone over.

"Eh?" Wang Rong had a surprised look when he heard my plan before revealing an awkward look.

I knew what he was thinking, so I just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, you’ll get your turn."

He looked back at me and then gave a determined nod before turning back to look at the Flesh Golem.

Iris didn’t have a problem with this plan at all, so I gave the order to the Echo Bat.

Once the Echo Bat gave its order, the undead started moving towards the Flesh Golem.

There were enough undead that the Flesh Golem was completely surrounded from every angle.

But like the undead from before, the Flesh Golem didn’t seem to react to the appearance of these undead. It was as if it didn’t think that these undead were actually here to harm it.

So the undead were able to completely surround the Flesh Golem without any problems.

Then in one fell swoop, all of them attacked the Flesh Golem at the same time.

That was when the Flesh Golem finally reacted.

The specialty of the Flesh Golem was its durability, which meant that even though it had been hit with all of these attacks, it hadn’t actually been injured that much. There were many parts of its body that could be considered disposable and these were the parts that the undead had hit.

The parts that had been hit were all discarded by the Flesh Golem and then it started to shake.

At this, I immediately gave the order for the undead to move away.

But the Flesh Golem was faster as it shot out spikes made of bones from itself.

These spikes made of bones weren’t spikes that were made of a single bone, but rather spikes that were made of many different bones compressed together. It was most likely the bones of the corpses that it was made from.

Most of the undead were able to get out of the way in time, but there were two that were hit with the spikes head on and a large hole was created in them.

After these holes were created, the undead seemed like they weren’t able to reform.

They had taken too much damage from these bone spikes.

That just went to show how much power was in each of these bone spikes.

As expected of a C Rank Monster.
