For the time being, I took out a handful of Luna Metal from the storage magic, and placed it in front of the Base Golem.
I then took a few steps back to observe the Base Golem’s reaction.
However…
[……Varius, is that fine? That guy does not appear to have any intention of eating it…] (Caucasus)
[Ain’t it have an appetite?] (Beelzebub)
Strangely, the Base Golem is just staring at the luna metal ores, showing no signs of wanting to eat them.
Seeing that, Caucasus and Beelzebub began voicing their thoughts.
[Hmmm…… Maybe it’s wary of us. For now, let’s leave this place.] (Varius)
I said, and began walking away from the Base Golem’s location with Caucasus and Beelzebub following soon after.
From the Base Golem’s perspective, the awakened Caucasus’ presence does pose quite a threat after all.
As such, we should provide it with a safe environment to have its meal for now.
It’s a simple matter to observe the Base Golem with Clairvoyance anyway.
For the time being, I guess we’ll observe from behind the corner ahead.
With that thought, I activated Clairvoyance the moment we are out of the Base Golem’s sight.
Then, after 10 minutes of continuous observation……
[Well then, is that guy eating the ores Varius provided?] (Caucasus)
[…… No, it’s not…… ] (Varius)
That’s right.
That Base Golem, despite providing a suitable environment, still shows no sign of eating the luna metal.
From time to time, the Base Golem would stare at the luna metal in its hands but…there’s absolutely no indication of it bringing it to its mouth.
From the looks of it…it could be that what the Base Golem is wary of is actually the luna metal itself.
…… Can’t be helped.
Now that thing’s have come to this, I’ll have to use my secret weapon.
[Oh Qilin, appear before us…to make a trade beneficial to us both.] (Varius)
I summoned the Qilin.
[Doth thou seeketh awakening materials or flavour enhancer, what be it?] (Qilin)
[Flavour enhancer.] (Varius)
[Is that so. Then…… thy tribute, bring it to me.] (Qilin)
After the routine conversation, I took out all the dungeon materials we hunted out from the storage magic and threw it into the distortion that appeared.
[Thy tribute, I hast surely received it. …… Then, I shalt leave what thou seeketh here. Farewell.] (Qilin)
The Qilin disappeared, leaving 2 bottles in its wake.
[Varius, that is…… ] (Caucasus)
[……Yeah, since it doesn’t look like it’s going to eat it. I’ll do what I must.] (Varius)
Giving Caucasus who looks like he wants to say something a sideward glance, I walked towards the Base Golem until I was right in front of it.
Then…I took the Beast Glutamic Acid and Beast Inosinic Acid[1] and poured them over the luna metal ores.
After that…… Where did the previous caution disappear to?
The Base Golem began devouring the luna metal with a fierce vigour.
That’s right, this should be expected of a secret weapon.
The temptation of the thing called flavour enhancer, is not something any monster can resist.
The Base Golem’s chewing speed has already deviated from the norm.
At this rate, the time for it to mutate should come faster than I thought.
I sat on the Nimbus Cloud I took out as a cushion with that feeling. At that moment, a telepathy containing a really desperate feeling was conveyed to me.
[Varius, the usual…the usual jelly, bring it out…] (Caucasus)
[Smellin’ that while not eating anything…is Hell…urgh…] (Beelzebub)
It seems like Caucasus and Beelzebub couldn’t resist the smell of the flavour enhancer wafting from the luna metal.
Can’t be helped.
Usually, I don’t really bring it out between meals but…I guess I’ll make this their snack time.
I took the beast jelly out from the storage magic and gave it to the two of them.
[Ahhh…… It is tastier than usual.] (Caucasus)
[Yay! Yaaay!] (Beelzebub)
Caucasus savoured the beast jelly with every bite, while Beelzebub enjoyed it with a gleeful look.
During that time, I was about to continue observing the Base Golem but…
[Gugyurururu…… ]
It seems that I too am feeling hungry.
Of course, being human, the flavour enhancer for monsters doesn’t affect me.
It’s just that…the chewing sounds made by the Base Golem. It sounds like it’s eating deep fried cartilage[2] and stimulated my appetite.
Without much choice, I took the cafeteria’s food out from the storage magic and ate it.
…… Having a picnic between friends and enemies in this manner is a little outside my expectations.
The situation changed around the time I finished my meal.
Suddenly…the Base Golem let off a bright light while screaming [Guooooooo].
This is the sign of the Base Golem is starting its mutation.
I observed the situation with my utmost attention.
After about a minute, the Base Golem’s light subsided.
Then, what entered my eyes was — with a never before seen colour — the mutated Base Golem.
…… Ah right.
Since it mutated by eating luna metal…for the time being, let’s call it Luna Golem.
With that decided, I signalled Caucasus.
[You can defeat it now.] (Varius)
[Understood.] (Caucasus)
After replying…Caucasus sharpened his horns with magic, raising its strength, and strongly grabbed the Luna Golem.
Shortly after…the Luna Golem could not handle the strength of Caucasus’ horns, and crumbled.
The next moment…
A large amount of experience flowed into me, and I can feel my divine power proficiency rise sharply.
It looks like the Luna Golem gives quite a bit of experience.
From what I’m feeling…it’s similar to defeating monsters from the 70th floors.
Taking into account the fact that using any other ores would have resulted in the mutation giving experience of around the first half of the 60th floors, this turned out pretty well.
In fact…with this, it should be better to single-mindedly hunt Luna Golems here instead of heading towards the lower floors.
With that decided, I stored the Luna Golem’s body.
I then began my work of placing the mountain of flavour-enhanced luna metal ores around the floor.
While I was busy with my work…
I received a telepathy from Artemis.
[Hey, Varius…… Just now, did you just make high luna metal? Would you tell me exactly how you did it?] (Artemis)
