The Extra's Odyssey Chapter 95 Baby Golem [2]

"Uw..gr..h"

Miller who was embedded into the wall was producing strange noises.

His limbs were broken from the impact of collsion, he was bleeding from all his oricificies and his breathing was reducing at a rapid pace.

He was dying. Realizing this I ran to him and pulled him down.

"Ar..rg.."

He screamed in a low voice to show his resistance.

But I still pulled him down. If he wasn't treated he was going to die in a few minutes.

"Drink this"

Vupp-

A vial of elixir appeared in my hands.

Raising his head slightly, I fed him the miracle liquid.

Then I placed him back on the ground.

(Will he be fine?)

'Other than a possible trauma of golems? Yeah, he'll be fine.'

Elixir isn't called the miracle liquid for nothing. Even if Miller had lost his limb, Elixir would have been able to regenerate it.

"He will be patched up in a few hours."

I picked him up and placed him on the sofa.

Then I looked at the baby golem.

-Gruu

The baby golem was hiding behind the leg of a table.

Listening to its low tone it seemed to be sorry for what it did.

'It is also afraid that I will punish it.'

The baby golem was quivering as it fearfully looked at me.

A deep sigh escpaced my lips and I sat cross-legged on the floor.

"Come here. I won't punish you."

The golem flinched at my words.

But a few seconds later it slowly peeked at me.

Seeing that I wasn't coming to hurt it the baby golem slowly started coming out of hiding.

-Gru?

"Yes, yes. I'm not angry. I know you didn't do on pupose."

It was weird how I could understand what it was trying to say.

But I put that issue at the back of my mind.

-Gruuuuu

The golem finally deciding that I wasn't angry came toward me.

-Gruu –Gruu

It rubbed its tiny body at me and made cute(?) noises.

"Now let's look at your status."

I picked the golem and willed for its status screen.

"A divine beast…."

The baby golem status shocked me in more ways than one.

The stat it had were in no way comparable to Lvl. 1.

Heck, it had more stats points than me in some stats, someone who was Lvl.14!

But the real shock wasn't the stats.

It was the status screen itself.

When a beast or a monster is tamed they also get a status screen. But that status screen is a lot different from what the awakeners use.

The biggest difference is the leveling itself.

Beasts and Monsters don't level up with the help of the System.

But there are a few exceptions.

These exceptions, while being beasts or monsters, can use the leveling system. Of course, the exp they gain is a lot less and their ranking conditions are extremely harsh.

Nonetheless, they can level up.

These exceptions are called Divine Beasts.

They are immensely strong for their levels and highly intelligent from birth.

The second protagonist will have one divine beast, Skardlh, the bone dragon. While the third protagonist has four divine beasts.

-Gruu?

The baby golem tilted its head as it saw me staring at the air.

"It's nothing."

I rubbed the head of the golem and placed it on the ground.

"Let's name you, Little one"

-Gru –Gru

The golem shook its head to show its disapproval of the name.

"Ole"

-Gru

"Gole"

-Gru

"Lem"

-Gruu!

The baby golem shouted at me for using 'golem' for its name.

"Okay, let me think of some other names then."

The golem copying me also sat cross-legged.

"Then, Aby?"

-Gru

"Bale?"

-Gru

"Melby-ouch ouch ouch"

The baby golem jumped to its feeet and bit me.

Seeing this I clicked my tongue.

"Can't fool you, huh?"

I had been only rearranging alphabets from 'baby golem' to decide its name. For some reason, it didn't like this.

Like this, the name-choosing ceremony went on for a few hours.

-Grrrru

The baby golem snorted and went to the other corner of the room.

It had given up any hopes of getting a proper name from me.

"Give me a few days. I'll find the best name for you!"

-Gru!

'As if, you failure of a parent!'

The words of the baby golem roughly translated to this in my head.

I wanted to refute that I wasn't its parent. But I felt like I'll get the same treatment as Miller so I kept my mouth shut.

"Urgh..b..oss?"

Miller who was sleeping on the couch looked at me.

It seems he had healed enough to speak.

"How are you feeling?"

I stood up and walked to him. By the looks of his crooked arm, it seems he is yet to be healed completely.

Miller nodded at my question.

His gaze s.h.i.+fted to the baby golem who was gloomily sitting in the corner and then back at me.

"Boss, you suck at naming."

***

"Pick the luggage properly."

"But boss why can't we use storage rings?"

"Because I don't want to."

Miller was regretting his choice to make fun of his boss' naming sense.

Back then, two days ago, when he saw his boss talking to the golem casually Miller felt the mist before his eyes clear up.

His boss was talking, laughing, and pleading like any normal person.

Miller thought that maybe it was wrong of him to set a prejudiced image of his boss. This was why Miller made that joke about his boss' naming sense.

He thought that this might bring them closer as teammates.

Oh, boy how wrong he was.

Now, the food for his boss has to be prepared by Miller. All three times of the day!

If he calls for anything Miller has to report within 5 seconds.

Miller has to be the one to clean his room daily.

And Miller has to be the one to carry their luggage, too!

All this work just because he made fun of him!

'f.u.c.k, he ain't a storm. He's a demon too!'

Miller hadn't gotten a wink of sleep for the last two days.

The fog that cleared before his eyes finally made him see the abomination called boss.

"Are you crying?"

"No..sniff… I'm not..sniff"

Miller and Nathan entered a car and.

Traveling for a few miles they reached the mountain range. There they began walking on foot.

Miller, as someone who lived in present, decided to ignore the past and focus on the future.

'I'll just have to make sure I don't p.i.s.s him off again.'

Thinking like this Miller spoke.

"Boss, do we need to go like this?"

Both Nathan and Miller were wearing black robes and white masks.

Miller was sweating a ton while dressed like this.

"Yeah and make sure you don't expose your ident.i.ty once you enter the Underworld."

? Not exposing your ident.i.ty was the rule of thumb that everyone followed inside the Underworld.

But for some reason, Miller felt like the reason behind his boss' action was different.

'Is he going to create a mess in the Underworld? Is that why he is asking to keep our ident.i.ties hidden? Hahaha…that isn't possible. Even if he is an heir of three families, he wouldn't do something like that…. Right?'

Suddenly, Miller felt a lot more worried about his future.

"We're here."

His boss spoke while looking at the abandoned bridge.

A large rusted bridge was going across the valley. A river ran in between the valley, under the bridge.

The duo walked on the bridge until they were standing exactly in the middle point.

Gulp-

"B-boss, are you sure there is an entrance here?"

Despite his boss nodding his head, Miller didn't feel secure.

Strong gales blew, causing their robes to flap. His hands were turning white as he gripped the bridge tightly so as to not fall because of the winds.

The ground, which was probably a thousand feet below, suddenly felt a lot closer yet farther.

Miller heavily gulped, unable to muster the courage.

'No, no. Although he acts all crazy, he never lied.'

Their gang's future looked a lot brighter because of the dungeon and elixir pool his boss gave them. With them, forget Red-Wolf Gang, in the future, they can conquer all the gangs in the Downtown.

It must be true that if they jumped, a portal to Underworld will open up.

Despite thinking like this, Miller was not moving an inch. After all, knowing something and implementing it were two different things.

"Boss, shouldn't we take a regula-"

-Gruu!

Suddenly, Miller felt a soft impact behind his back that pushed him off the bridge.

-Gruuuuu

As he fell, the baby Golem clutched his shoulder tightly and started shouting excitedly.

At the baby golem's appearance, Miller finally started crying.

For the past two days, he obviously resisted his boss' unreasonable orders. But this little golem always appeared and threatened him to work.

"f.u.c.k, YOU s.h.i.+T OF A GOLEM! f.u.c.k YOU DEMON OF A BOSS! IF I DIE HERE I'LL HAUNT YOU FOREVER!"

A few people heard faint, shrill screams echoing outside the valley.

And just like this, the legend of the suiciding overworked employee was born.
