"Now!" Klautz commanded.

Selena, who was hiding behind a boulder, pulled a rope as she gritted her teeth. The twigs and vines stung on her soft hands causing her to bleed but she didn't falter as if her life depended on it. 

Klautz had told her multiple times how important this job was and how failing in it could have big repercussions. So she couldn't help but give it her all.

The rope tightened before the golem's leg making it triple on it. This caused the golem to stumble. 

Its stumbling added with the momentum it had gained was enough to make it fall off the edge of the floating island. But for reasons good or bad Klautz was in the way. If Klautz continued to stay so the golem might break its fall and push Klautz through the end instead.

The golem was a few inches away from Klautz, so any efforts to dodge its onslaught from Klautz's side would have been useless. It was simply too late to dodge.

But then something unexpected happened... 

Klautz smirked as he jumped off the cliff willingly. 

"Hah," Selena squeaked as her mouth fell open. Her hand flew to her chest in shock. "Klautz!" She screamed.

Meanwhile, with no one to come in between the golem and its foolish charge, the golem fell off the edge. Owing to its large body and sturdy structure it couldn't even attempt to break its charge.

But while it made a free fall off the cliff it noticed the presence of Klautz… There he was dangling from the edge of the island while he curled his lips. His eyes appeared flat as if full of mockery for the golem. 

As soon as Klautz had jumped off the cliff he had transformed his spirit hammer into a black spirit claw. The claw's fangs sunk deep into the island's edge, breaking his fall. 

But the golem had no such methods to save itself. It could only watch at Klautz in desperation as he sank more and more into nothingness.

The islands were floating high in the sky, even above the white clouds. Klautz saw the golem fall as he disappeared into the whiteness of the clouds.

"This is the end."

*Ping*

[You have defeated the Guardian Golem of the Island of Oen ]

[Greatest Contributor: Klautz]

[Prize: Golem's core.]

[Bracelet of Fortification.]

This is the reason why Klautz had chosen to fight against the golem instead of trapping it from the very beginning. Only the greatest contributor gets these extra prizes. 

If Klautz would have trapped the golem from the very beginning he would not have got the greatest contributor tag as both Selena and Klautz would have equal amounts of contribution. Hence, no one would have got the prize.

On top of that the golem's core considers only the greatest contributor as its master.

Klautz smiled. Little by little Klautz pulled himself up the edge. 

Selena had hurried to the edge after Klautz' and the golem's fall. She wanted to know the state they were in. Her heart was thumping hard as she couldn't help but freak out over the events that had transpired. 

But, she could only give off a sigh of relief as she saw Klautz climbing up the cliff. 

*sigh*

'He got me worried for nothing,' Selena thought as she sulked.

She reached out her palms trying to give Klautz a helping hand but Klautz ignored it as he got up himself. Her hands dangled in the air with no touch in utter loneliness.

Klautz walked past Selena. She could only watch at her hand motionlessly as they shook. Her lips shrink as her pupils shook in sync with her hands. 

Bringing her hands to her chest she lowered her head as her neck appeared to shrink.

The reason Klautz chose to ignore her was simple. He had yet to put his faith in her. What would happen if instead of helping him get up the cliff, Selena chose to push him off instead? The possibility of that is extremely low since Selena needed Klautz to survive. But Klautz chose to not take any risks. As a ninja in past life, Klautz preferred to be self dependant. He was too used to loneliness.

Selena, who understood Klautz's intentions could only drown in sorrow. She had always felt that her love was unrequited and she had to live with it. Like every maiden in love she too wants her man to love her back. Her body might be satisfied but her heart never was. 

*crack* *crack*

The ground cracked and from within it a similar platform with concentric circles appeared. The circles shone a tint of yellow after which a yellow light emerged that seemed to touch the sky. 

This has been the first edge portal that has been unlocked so far. The other inter island portals are yet to be explored. 

If one were to look into the sky one would see five beams of lights going up above touching the heavens. Four of them were green which were supposed to be coming from portals that allowed the participants to quit this stage. One on every island. And the last one was yellow, the one Klautz had just unlocked. It was used to transport Klautz from this island to the very next in a clockwise manner.

Klautz took out the bracelet that he had just obtained from defeating the golem. It came off as a nice bonus.

Item: Bracelet of Fortification

Rank: D

Effect: + 10 Defence.

Note: Effect is not stackable.

Klautz equipped it without a second thought. There was not much to it. It wasn't gonna make him overpowered. But there was nothing wrong with it as well. It was just a side product that Klautz had received. 

Klautz's goal from the very start were the golem cores!
