MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

I'm back...

====

About half of the monsters in the cave were eliminated. There were only a few obsidian and two silver golems left.

Slowly, I moved towards the obsidian vein, but felt my mana running low as a Lightning needle in my hand devoured my MP like a black hole.

Quickening my pace I approached the first golem leaning against the nearby wall and drilled the needle into its chest.

< LOOT >

1️⃣ 800 EXP

2️⃣ Iron Ore x9

3️⃣ Stones x35

4️⃣ Obsidian Ore x6

5️⃣ Copper Ore x4

The body of the golem crumbled and scattered ores in all directions. I collected the fallen loot and quickly disposed of the other golems sitting nearby.

< Obsidian Golem x3 Killed! >

< LOOT >

1️⃣ 2400 EXP

2️⃣ Iron Ore x26

3️⃣ Stones x101

The only enemies now were two Silver Golems sitting further in the cavern.

I began to prepare for battle and made the lightning needle disappear before swallowing a MP potion.

+ 9 MP

+ 12 MP

+ 16 MP

+ ....

My mana reserves slowly filled up. I drank a MP potion, knowing that the enemies ahead of me were almost done with their ore absorption and would soon become the second most powerful golems.

Gritting my teeth, I felt my mana leave my body before a lightning needle formed in my palm. The lightning silently danced on my wrist, giving me an eerie look.

When I felt that the spell was complete, I slowly extended my hand towards the first enemy.

My mood has deteriorated considerably. Meeting an elite enemy is very rare and a silver golem at that, my luck was worse than shit.

I moved my hand forward and impaled the golem's head with my lightning weapon.

- 120 Magical Damage!

- 123 Magical Damage!

- 251 Critical Damage!

- 132 Magical Damage!

- 124 Magical Damage!

The golem's health was slowly running low as I felt the earth shake beneath me. As I turned my gaze to the trembling ground, I felt a gaze full of killing intent fall upon me and lock me in place.

Slowly, I raised my head and noticed the other silver golem's head hovering over me. I felt a shiver run down my spine, luckily a system notification woke me up from my daze.

< Elite Silver Golem x1 Killed! >

< LOOT >

1️⃣ 2000 EXP

2️⃣ Silver Ore x16

3️⃣ Stones x35

~~~~

Pulling a needle out of the dead golem's head I threw it at the enemy indicating the beginning of the battle.

- 146 Magical Damage!

The damage was tiny, but when I saw the damage window, I noticed that the MDEF of the golem was lower than the previous one. When I realized that it was not an elite monster, I sighed with relief.

While I was examining the golem, its huge arm descended down and collided with the ground a few feet away from me. A huge cloud of dust was thrown into the air, obscuring my vision.

I moved away from the location of the golem and hid behind a boulder, waiting for the dust to settle. All the muscles in my body were tense, I felt the power of the golem's strike. The cave was still shaking under the aftershock of the attack, and even some stalactites fell from the ceiling. Fortunately, I was not hit by any of them.

Suddenly, another quake shook the cave.

As I looked around frantically, I noticed a huge stone hand sticking out of the ground behind me.

Boom...

I rolled to the side, dodged the hand's grip, and threw a Shadow Blast at its fingers. I was a bit surprised, it was the first golem to use Earth manipulation skill properly.

As I marveled at the golem's ability to control earth, another hand shot towards me out of the shadows. With my superior agility, I leapt high into the air and dodged the arm beautifully. Unfortunately, I did not see another hand coming from the ceiling.

- 121 Physical Damage!

The stone hand slapped me to the ground like a mosquito.

I spat a mouthful of blood and gazed at the hand that was rushing downwards to crush me. By quickly ingesting a HP potion, I somehow managed to dodge the attack and roll to the side.

+ 15 HP

+ 18 HP

+ 26 HP

+ 30 HP

+ 32 HP

My health recovered quickly and I managed to fully control my body again. I created some lightning spears and hurled them at the hand that was trying to crush me, shattering its palm.

Suddenly I felt something behind me, Quickly raising my staff I tried to repel the upcoming attack.

- 51 Physical damage!

My hands felt as if they were broken and blood flowed from my mouth. The Silver Golem emerged from the dust and threw a punch that was blocked by my staff.

I was lucky because if I did not have my overpowered staff, I would be dead. The low-level weapon would have simply been shattered in half by the blow.

I disengaged from the clash, took a dozen steps back, and chanted a few Shadow Blasts at the golem's face.

- 142 magic damage!

- 286 Magic Damage!

- 144 Magic damage!

I glanced at my inventory and realized I was out of HP potions. Gritting my teeth, I cursed myself for not buying more Health potions.

Summoning another Shadow Blast I was about to throw it when the ground shook beneath my feet.

" What NOW! "
