My Gene System

In their eyes, was the steaming smoke that came from the active volcano while under them was the yellow crystal. "One down, that's an easy job."

Riku had a malicious smile on his face, it seemed they were already found one of the materials they were looking for.

Although there's a strong coming from this material, Emma didn't hesitate to raise her hand along with the yellow crystal. "Riku, I got this! I'm putting this inside my pouch-" For the big reason, she didn't complete her words.

Boom!

When the moment the sulfur was inside the brown bag, a strong explosion transpired around their area.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Emma!"

"Riku!"

The explosion's force was enough to blow them away and roll several times to the heated surface. Of course, both of them immediately checked each other to see if they won't receive severe injuries.

Bam! Bam!

In just a blink of an eye, they easily regained their footings and darted their eyes at the origin of the explosion. And all of a sudden, sweats were dripping all over their bodies, and Riku was swallowing his saliva.

"W-What the hell? How does this monster go to this place like this?" He stuttered and admitted that no monsters would appear here, but the main problem was, he didn't anticipate a strong monster would approach them.

"Emma, be careful! We are not facing an ordinary monster! Ready to fight and expect more explosions would transpire!" He warned her in a high tone, aware of the worst-case scenario that might happen.

Her eyes were widened after seeing the monster in front of her, but thanks to Riku's voice it helped to awaken her senses. First, she narrowly flinched and eventually nodded her head while stepping back to the place where her teammate was located.

"Yes, Riku!"

Based on her reaction, it seemed this was the first time she could see this type of monster. Why? Emma was mostly having expeditions inside the forest and the other parts where monsters inhabited. Since the volcano was a dangerous area for the monsters and human beings, she never tried to go into this place.

To describe what their eyes seeing right now, it was the monster had one and a half meters in height, bulk body, and it looked it was made by magma.

[Magma Golem] this was how Riku called the monster suddenly appeared in front of them. It was a monster that had a dangerous fire element as it could kill a certain person in just a one-shot.

°[Magma Golem]

•Fire type Earth-type

•Massive health power

•Concrete defense

•Good in physical and magical damage

[Magma Golem's skill(s)]-

•[Avalance]- by concentrating enough magical power in a fixed position, it will allow to shake and move up the surface.

[Magma toss] in this case, the monster would utilize its fire element and earth element to create a fireball. But that's not an ordinary fireball as it could make a huge explosion that just happened earlier. To determine its range, it must be twelve meters aoe.

He spread his left arm in order to stop Emma from charging towards the monster. "Calm down, Emma, you must not face this monster right away. If you don't want to receive severe damage." He said in a deep tone, also, pressured with their opponent.

Riku could easily enumerate what are the powers of this monster and how it exactly produced its attack. But the thing here was, this monster was hard to annihilate because of its thick armor and massive health power. In his opinion, the best thing to do right now was to escape from this monster.

Tch!

And all of sudden, he slowly shook his head and clicked his tongue. "No, we can't do that. If we back out right now there's a high chance we can't back to this place." He muttered while finding ways to defeat the Magma Golem.

Swoosh!

The sound of steel sharp weapon slicing the air was perceived by his ears. It was Emma, pulling out her black knife to show that she was ready for any kind of fight.

"Hold for a second, Emma! You should stay away from that monster-!" And once again, two of them were blown away, heated sharp rocks were hitting their faces.

Boom!

It appeared the magma golem used again its [Magma toss] so it could reach its opponents since its speed wasn't enough to reach these people in an instant.

Because of that explosion, Riku and Emma were separated from each other, so it was hard for him to use now his [Fly] ability. "It can't be helped, we need to kill this monster before the other monsters head to this place and stop us from finishing our objectives here." He said in a serious tone while wiping the blood on his face. To put it simply, the sharp rocks flying earlier slice some parts of his body.

In an instant, his health power was easily reduced by five health points. Even though those damages weren't enough to kill, still, it made him realize how really dangerous this monster was. "No, I have to fight if I didn't want to worsen this expedition."

He pushed himself into a standing-up position and saw Emma hadn't received any damages in that attack. Well, the favor of this fight would go in their side since these two had a lot of strength to all-out their power here.

"Emma, change plan. We need to attack this monster before it kills us. Just remember you need to avoid when you see a fireball in front of him as it will create a new explosion that can kill you. Aside from that, I had no idea what is the weakness of this monster, but I think I could find it if we keep attacking it just give me time." He quickly explained to her as the monster was aggressively heading to their location.

She nodded her head without hesitation, showing this man that she can defeat this monster even it was the first time she would face it. "Leave it to me, Riku, I'll do everything to deal damage in the hard body of this monster." She replied nonchalantly, then immediately charge towards the monster. In her mind, if this Magma Golem deals damage before she does it. They would really have a big problem.

Swoosh!

[Fubulster Thorn Slash!]

Then suddenly while running, a red magic circle occurred in front of her as Emma was casting her skill by enchanting the spell that could see in the circle.

Thirty-three meters were the exact distance of her within the monster. So she knew she would completely cast it before they meet each other in the amid.

A red-violet aura was circulating throughout her body and it looked like she transferring it towards her black knife to increase the damage that she can give.

Swoosh!

When the moment the distance was around fifteen meters. The ground was started to crumble as the monster was using its [Avalanche] skill to destroy the woman's footing, at the same time, lowering her guard.

But Emma wasn't the adventurer that would easily for that. She jumped into the air, avoiding the brick of the surface coming at him. 'If that's skill hits me, it can push my body to the volcano's mouth.' She uttered to her mind, then positioned the knife over her head.

As soon as the gravity was pulling her body and noticed that she reached the right distance. She swung her downwards without making any second thought, confident that once her attack landed a direct contact that was the end of this monster.

The monster was noticed her, so it tried to swing its bulk arm to counter-attack and also to put a strong defense.

The huge magical power coated Emma's black knife was looked like dominating in this fight. The power of it and the current speed it had would sure penetrate to this monster's body.

Swish!

When Emma saw that monster was near to reach her knife, she suddenly twisted her hands to activate the effect of this skill. The red-violet aura turned her knife into a huge reaper that had a keen long dangerous endpoint.

She had a malicious smile. In her opinion, the double penetration of this skill was sufficient to penetrate the blade on the monster's body.

"I'm gonna end this! We are no time to waste at you, so die!" She yelled, pushing her reaper hardly.

Clang!

The sound of tough metals was the only sound you could hear in this place. Furthermore, she was blinking her eyes in shock, didn't expect the result of her attack.

"Huh? What just happened? I'm sure that I put huge magical power to add more strength with my attack." She said in an annoyed tone as the effortlessly blocked her attack with its arm and seemed to have the strength to push her back.

While Emma and the monster were pushing each other with their all might. The monster suddenly spin-in 360° and used its other arm to badly hit her in the stomach.

Emma wasn't expecting this counter-attack and the blood didn't stop from spilling out of her mouth.

"EMMA! GET DOWN!"
