Vincent was really curious about how he got here and how he received the Awakening System.
For the first issue, he already concluded that it has something to do with his parents from the Tudor Kingdom's Star Garden Sect.
In addition, after getting all the information related to the Star Garden Peak in the Parason Continent, his suspicions just grew even more since he learned how they were considered hermits who are all studying astrology and other mysticism.
Considering the fact that he died in his previous life because of a meteor, he couldn't help but suspect their involvement in this.
It was all but a guess but that's the best that he got.
As for the mysteries of the Awakening System, he wasn't sure which divine being gifted this to him but since it was meant to help him, he didn't really mind even if he didn't get to know its origin. He's already thankful that he was selected to have this.
"They were strong… There were only 20 or so of them but they really held up against the galactic—" Before the Celestial could finish her words, an earthquake within the dungeon suddenly occurred.
"Professor?" Vincent immediately looked behind him.
To be honest, he wasn't exactly sure about the situation of this dungeon as well. He only knows that this place should be quite safe thanks to the Formation Art that Levent built in this place.
Levent looked nervous as she glanced at the tunnel leading further inside the dungeon.
"It's not me… I think we woke something up inside this dungeon. When this was sold to me, I was told that many explorers disappeared here without a reason. However, those cases only happened to the weakest explorers in the industry so I didn't think too much of it…" She explained.
Although she had pretty much explored this dungeon and confirmed that it was safe, she could still miss a secret passage since she was not really a trained explorer in the first place.

The mana fluctuation doesn't seem to be that scary but nevertheless, this feels similar to the level of a Grand Knight…
Boom… Boom… Boom…
Soon the sound of heavy footsteps was heard as they all readied for battle.
Rem and Tara immediately went in front to block their guest.
"A golem?" Tara muttered after having a clear view of the creature in front of them…
"That's weird… Golems would normally stay within their designated area inside the dungeon. They will never roam around…." Levent said as she studied a bit about golems. Not because she wanted to hunt them but because she was previously planning to create her own golem.
"That's right… It probably got attracted by something…" Vincent mused but he couldn't think of anything that might attract this golem.
They only opened the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber and caused a bit of disturbance. It is certainly not as messy as before.
Nevertheless, this was immediately answered after the Golem rushed in a specific direction.
The golem roared or perhaps made a creaking noise, as it covered itself with a ferocious wave of mana.
"Krusk? Did you do something to that thing?" Vincent asked in surprise as he saw the golem angrily rush at the young mythical beast…
"I don't know! I didn't do anything!" Krusk replied a bit frightened. Seeing the huge golem suddenly rushing at him caught him off guard.
He thought that it will charge toward Tara and Rem so he didn't prepare himself. Furthermore, although he is physically strong, he felt that his hands would be crushed if he decided to punch that steel-like golem.
This golem was even four meters tall making it really scary to get close to.
Of course, Rem and Tara didn't remain idle as they brought out their weapons to destroy the golem.
Boom! Boom!
Two strikes from its back made the golem stumble… It was not destroyed even by combining their strengths!
The golem was still able to move and ignored the two… It was as if the golem has a grudge against Krusk as it was only focused on killing him!
"Krusk! Run away! Let the others deal with it… Ah! Draw it closer to Tara…" Vincent instructed.
Krusk followed this instruction as he knows that although he was quite strong with his Mana Control, he is still squishy compared to this golem.
He focused his mana on his legs as it boosted his speed and agility…
Although the golem has destructive power, it doesn't have the speed it needed to catch up to him…
Boom! Boom!
At this time, Rem and Tara launch another series of attacks using their Celestial Weapons… To their surprise, the golem wasn't stopping at all.
A few rocks were torn from its body but it is actually recovering!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We need to destroy the core of the golem to kill it or it will just recover endlessly..." Vincent said after recalling the weakness of golems.
Of course, it was exaggerated when he said it could recover endlessly since there is definitely a limit to that. Nevertheless, the trouble it would bring them will be huge if the core wasn't destroyed as quickly as possible.
Vincent had actually noticed that the golem started growing larger!
It was as if this wasn't its final form and still recovering its full strength.
Obviously, he can't allow that to happen. They have to destroy the enemy as quickly as possible.
Vincent then triggered his Cane's Ensnare hoping to slow down the golem…
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The iron vines were easily snapped by the moving golem…
It wasn't enough but Vincent continued summing ensnare by spending his Pseudo-Celestial Energy.
"Tara, Rem… Stop holding back!"
Vincent said as he already realized that the two seem to be worried about something. They're probably being cautious of Celestial Number 80 or perhaps he's just being paranoid... He wasn't sure.
Anyway, as soon as they heard him, the two started to charge stronger Celestial Energy as they tried to crush the golem…
Rem used her sword to cut the golem's head while Tara used her blade to cut one of its legs.
They still got an incredibly strong resistance from the golem but in the end, they were able to cut it into several parts…
At this time, Vincent saw the glowing core from the head that Rem just split into two.
However, there was a problem!
"It's about to explode!" Vincent warned as he realized that the core was getting too hot…
