Chapter 81 New Golem Creation Skill
Nathan walked around, attempting to experience the new feelings of controlling his golem's body. It wasn't identical to being in his own body, but his hearing and vision were already improved.
He analyzed the details within his golem, then chose to use the Flame Sword Warrior skills for his own personal avatar.
Raising his hefty greatsword, he quietly intoned some words, and the huge sword was soon engulfed in flames.
However, Nathan quickly extinguished the fire, for he noticed Meriel's apprehension that the fire could burn the blossoms growing nearby.
Nathan shifted back to his original body. He stood and stretched out his muscles.
Meriel's slight relief was visible, but when Nathan addressed her, she seemed to avoid his gaze. "Meriel, have you finished with the flowers?" he asked in a peaceful tone.
She hesitated, then nodded. "Yes, they're all done. You can still experiment with your golems if you want, Mr. Nathan," she said.
Surprised, Nathan raised his eyebrows. "Really? That's great, I still have something I need to do. Is that alright with you?"
"Of course," Meriel replied. "I'll walk around for a while."
"Thanks," He said before turning away.
Luna sighed softly as Meriel walked away. He floated not far from Nathan.
"You can be a bit too imaginative sometimes, Luna." He said.
"Huh?" She was taken aback and clapped her hand over her mouth. "I didn't say anything."
"I know what you were thinking," He added.
He then beckoned for Fang, who appeared immediately, transforming into an adult wolf and standing before him.
"Fang, Geen will help you, please help me in hunting the monsters around here. And..." Nathan shifted his gaze to his golem. "Please give Fang a hand with the hunting."
The giant wolf looked up at Nathan's golem and gave it a small nod. Then he turned to face Nathan again and growled lowly, looking up at him with gleaming red eyes.
Both of them then ran away through the forest, searching for any traces of nearby monsters.
"Luna, can I depend on that golem to execute a basic task?"
"Yep," she replied with an instantaneous nod. "Tier two golems can do basic instructions with minimal oversight. But it will return if it has strayed too far."
Nathan smiled in response and said, "Thanks! Let's get started then!"
Luna replied with enthusiasm, "Yes...."
At this, the create a new skill screen materialized right in front of him.
"I had thought about this skill, but deliberately put it off until the right time came. And I think this time is the right time..."
Nathan typed using his digital keyboard. He chose the tier 2 skill option and pressed the create the skill button when he was absolutely sure what he was typing.
"Construct a golem with the potential to attain a higher tier, but with the danger of failure that could ruin the materials used in its creation."
That's what was written on the screen in front of Nathan.
"Let's make a game of it! It would be fun to gamble with the golem creation. What do you say?" Nathan said as he smiled.
Luna smiled back and nodded. "There is a chance the materials you use may be destroyed. But, I'll go with you, Master!"
"I'll take a risk on it," he replied.

[Golem Creator - Earth Golem Creation Tier 2]
[Combine earth/rock with three Monster Cores to create a golem that has a chance of being of high grade or having rare classes and skills.
The higher the potential, the less likely it is to occur.
The best chance of getting a General grade golem.
Control up to two golems at the same time.
[...]
[Level 5: Improve the chances of getting a higher grade.]
"I wonder how many times my odds have improved now?" Nathan mused as he studied the screen carefully. "The analysis result seems quite reliable... I'll use up all my monster core for this one."
"Alright then." He said, satisfied with his decision. "Tell me again Luna, tell me the order of the grade of an item."
Luna took over for him. She said, "It starts from normal grade, then Normal, then Rare, Elite, General, King, Emperor, Legendary, Myth." she explained before continuing in a softer voice, "...and above that are Divine items." She glanced at him while smiling warmly and added softly, "Those are rarest among them all and even those aren't sure to exist anymore..."
Nathan nodded and smiled gently back. His thoughts turned toward the future. "I need to find more monsters so I can build and experiment with better materials. Then I can improve this golem creation skill."
He had thought about improving this skill since he first created it, but he hadn't come close enough to try it yet. Now he was able to create golems quickly, making it possible to make much larger ones too!
"That's great," Nathan replied cheerfully. "This should help us out a lot!" He looked up to the sky briefly before adding, "Luna? Let's make some strong friends together."
Luna's eyes widened as she listened quietly, and her jaw dropped open slightly. A gentle smile played across her lips as she said, "Yes... Let's do just that!"
Nathan was eager to see how powerful the golem he was about to create would be, so he quickly gathered some small stones and arranged them into piles. He had initially planned on using armor from the Crescent Moon Dimension for the golem, but he had only found a few sets and decided to postpone it for now.
Next, he placed three Monster Cores onto the stone piles one after another. After that, he combined the three Monster Cores with earth/rock and channeled his mana through his hands in order to materialize his new Tier 2 Golem Creator skill.
"Let's give this a try." Nathan murmured before focusing his mind in order to cast his spell. His body glowed red as he poured his mana power into each hand. With this, the pile of rocks absorbed the monster cores, becoming one with it. Then two large rocks rose up from within the pile of rocks, creating a mountain range between itself and the third rock, which fell down next to the other two.
A second later, the first of the newly-created golem appeared. It was tall and thin, like an old man with a gray beard.
The golem stood motionless, staring at Nathan with its single eye.
"Let's see what kind of golem I got here.," Nathan said cheerfully while walking over toward the golem.
Luna's eyes followed him, her mouth dropping open when she saw the first golem standing there. She had expected something more than just a normal humanoid form.
[Normal Earth Golem Lv. 50]
[Class: none]
[Skills:]
[Earth Armor: Grants low-grade resistance against physical damage for itself.]
Luna let out a small laugh at Nathan's dejected expression. She yelled and held her arms up. "Come on, Master Nathan! Cheer up! I'm sure you'll have better luck soon!"
Nathan looked away from the golem and raised his head as if he could smell victory on the horizon. "I hope so." He replied with a faint smile.
"Let's try another one!"
