MTL NOVEL Chapter 20: chapter 20 special elite
As Kaelith moved deeper into the cave, his heart pounded in his chest, his senses heightened. The air grew thick with the damp smell of earth and stone, and an eerie silence blanketed the path ahead. His eyes scanned the darkened surroundings, looking for any signs of movement. Suddenly, a faint glow caught his attention — a dim light emanating from deeper in the cave.
Curious, Kaelith cautiously approached the source of the glow. His sharp eyes soon made out the silhouette of a Special Elite Rock Golem standing near a small clearing. The creature was larger than the previous Rock Golems, its body shining faintly in the dim light. It had an aura of power that sent a chill down his spine. Unlike the previous monsters he had fought, this one had an air of menace surrounding it. Its glowing eyes fixed on him, and Kaelith could feel its presence like a heavy weight pressing down on him.
The Special Elite Rock Golem was level 3, while Kaelith was only level 1. The disparity in their strength was glaring, and for a moment, Kaelith felt a surge of uncertainty. But then, he saw something else — a Spiritual Flower growing next to the creature, bathed in the soft light it emitted. And beside the flower, there was a Rare Chest, likely containing something valuable.
Kaelith's heart skipped a beat. The Spiritual Flower was the item Clara had tasked him to retrieve. But the Special Elite Rock Golem guarding it was a formidable foe. If he didn't act carefully, this mission could quickly turn into a deadly one.
He weighed his options. The flower was within reach, but the Special Elite Rock Golem was an intimidating opponent. It was significantly stronger than the monsters he had fought earlier. Still, the temptation of the Spiritual Flower and the Rare Chest was too strong. He couldn't leave without completing his task, especially with Clara's threats hanging over his head.
Kaelith took a deep breath, steadying himself. He knew he couldn't take the Special Elite Rock Golem head-on. He would have to rely on his skills and the environment around him. He needed to use everything at his disposal to outsmart the creature, or else he would fail the quest and face the consequences.
Focus Shot and Rapid Fire would be his primary weapons, but he also had to use the cave's layout to his advantage. The Golem was slow and lumbering, but its attacks were devastating. If he could get the first strike in and keep his distance, he might have a chance. The narrow path leading up to the clearing could provide him with some cover, and the stalagmites and boulders scattered around could be used to his advantage.
Kaelith moved silently, keeping low to the ground, careful not to make any noise that would alert the creature. He positioned himself behind a large stalagmite, peering around it to get a better view of the Special Elite Rock Golem. The creature was guarding the flower and the chest, its heavy steps shaking the ground beneath him. Kaelith could hear the soft grinding of stone as the Golem shifted its weight, its gaze scanning the surroundings.
He knew he couldn't wait forever. If he didn't act soon, the Golem might wander away or call for reinforcements, making this mission even harder. His fingers gripped the bow tightly, his mind racing through the possibilities. He could use Focus Shot to target the weak points in the creature's body, but he needed to ensure his arrows would penetrate its tough exterior. The Golem's weak spots were its joints and the cracks in its rocky armor, but they weren't easy to hit.
Kaelith made a decision. He would use Focus Shot to land the first blow. If he could get a critical hit on the Golem's chest or leg, he might be able to cripple it and gain the upper hand.
With steady hands, Kaelith pulled back the bowstring, his body tense with anticipation. He waited for the perfect moment, watching the Golem's movements carefully. As the creature turned its back for just a moment, Kaelith released the arrow. It flew through the air with precision, striking the Golem in the chest.
The Special Elite Rock Golem roared in pain as the arrow embedded itself deep into its rocky body. It turned toward Kaelith with a terrifying growl, its eyes glowing brighter in anger. The fight had begun.
Kaelith's heart raced as he quickly took cover behind another stalagmite. He had to keep moving, stay one step ahead of the Golem, and make sure he didn't get caught in its crushing attacks. This battle would be different from any he had faced before, but he wasn't going to give up. He had a mission to complete, and he wasn't going to fail.
As the Special Elite Rock Golem charged toward him, Kaelith readied his next move. He had learned from his past encounters. He wasn't just a marksman; he was a strategist. And this battle was far from over.
The Special Elite Rock Golem was a formidable opponent, towering over Kaelith. It exuded power, its massive stone body reinforced with layers of rocky armor. The Golem's presence sent tremors through the ground as it stood guard over the Spiritual Flower and the Rare Chest.

Kaelith stood in awe as the Special Elite Rock Golem revealed itself to be much more powerful than any monster he had faced before. He had known that there were stronger monsters lurking in the caves, but seeing the Golem in person left him feeling both fearful and excited. The Golem's massive form seemed almost invincible, its stony exterior almost impenetrable.
As Kaelith looked at its stats, he realized just how outmatched he was. With 3,500 HP and 600 Defense, the Special Elite Rock Golem could take a lot of hits, and its special abilities could easily overwhelm a weaker opponent like him. But Kaelith was no fool — he had been through tough battles before, and this one would be no different. He would have to rely on his wits, his skills, and the environment to win.
Kaelith was slightly unnerved by the Golem's appearance, but his nerves soon turned into determination. This was his mission. He couldn't afford to fail. The Spiritual Flower and the Rare Chest were too valuable to let go.
Looking past the Golem, Kaelith's eyes locked onto the Spiritual Flower. It was a delicate, glowing plant, its petals shimmering in the dim light. The flower's aura felt almost otherworldly, and it seemed to call out to him. The flower was the reason he had entered the cave in the first place. His mind raced, and a sense of accomplishment washed over him as he realized he had found it. Despite the danger, the flower was within his reach.
Beside it, the Rare Chest gleamed in the darkness, its surface covered in ancient runes. The chest looked old but well-preserved, an item that could contain anything from powerful gear to rare crafting materials. Kaelith felt a surge of excitement at the thought of what it might hold. The chest, paired with the Spiritual Flower, was a double reward — a bounty he had not expected to find.
Kaelith quickly refocused on the task at hand. He couldn't let his emotions get the better of him. The Special Elite Rock Golem still posed a serious threat, and he needed to stay sharp. But a small part of him couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had managed to track down both items he needed, even if it meant facing such a powerful opponent.
Kaelith's reaction was a mix of fear and excitement. Despite the overwhelming odds, he couldn't ignore the thrill that rushed through him. A part of him still wanted to become the overlord of Eldoria, to rise above everyone else, but in this moment, he had a mission to complete. The Special Elite Rock Golem was a challenge, but Kaelith was not one to back down from a challenge.
With a final glance at the Golem, Kaelith tightened his grip on his bow. He had been through worse situations before. This was just another obstacle — one he had to overcome.
He whispered to himself, "No turning back now."
As Kaelith took his first steps toward the Special Elite Rock Golem, he could feel the tension in the air, like the calm before the storm. He needed to act fast. Time was running out. The Golem seemed to sense his approach, turning slowly, its massive stone body creaking as it did so. Its glowing eyes fixed on him, and Kaelith knew it was ready to charge.
But in the back of his mind, the thought of the Spiritual Flower and the Rare Chest spurred him forward. He was determined to succeed.
