[The Guardian of The Moon Earth Golem Lv. 47]

"The Guardian of the Moon?"

Nathan paused for a moment, reading the name of the golem he had just created.

"Does the name of this golem and armor have anything to do with the dimension we are in?"

Nathan glanced sideways at Luna.

Luna opened her mouth, looked surprised, then immediately shook her head.

Nathan smiled kindly. Then he returned to pay attention to his golem.

"This armor sure looks dashing. I am actually interested in wearing something like this." He grinned.

Nathan touched the layer of armor made of Adamantine, with a golden glow radiating from the inside.

"Okay, let's look at the status and skills of this golem."

He paused when he saw the description of the golem that had been added to him by the system.

[Nathan Gardner Personal Avatar Tier 1]

[The Guardian of The Moon Earth Golem Lv. 47]

[-]

[Strength: 36]

[Dexterity: 18]

[Agility: 18]

[Magic: 36]

[Constitutions: 24]

[Stamina: 39]

[Skills:]

[Enhanced Speed: Move several times faster, making it very difficult for one to react to them. Enhance the movement speed by 30%]

[Moonlight Shield Construction: By the power of the moon, it creates an aura shield around the body that can block fatal damage every 30 minutes.

The protective shield will trigger another effect if it receives fatal damage. The user will become immune to any damage for 1 second.]

"Whoa! This is pretty impressive!"

Nathan was stunned.

He hadn't expected the new avatar would be this powerful.

It also seemed that the golem's special attack and defense were improved based on how long Nathan stood in the area of effect of the Lunar Blessing.

"Look.. Edna, Luna.." Nathan looked sideways, grinning broadly.

Edna and Luna both nodded.

After all, they knew what was coming.

Both of them were looking forward to seeing the results.historical

Nathan grinned again. "Just look at the skills of this golem."

"Woah.. Aura shield?" Edna stared in awe at the information from the skill on the golem. "Young master, I didn't expect that the golem you created could be this amazing."

Luna floated up, approaching the golem and watching closely. She then chuckled. "Master Nathan.. This is truly an overpowered skill. This golem can be immune to any attack within 1 second. It really is a high-tier skill, and you get it in a tier 1 golem."

She wasn't wrong.

The golem's skills were all strong.

Nathan nodded quickly. "I tried my best to contain my excitement, but this skill is really amazing. Is it because the materials I used are of high quality? Or does this armor really have a higher value than I know? Let's see, the one thing that I'm interested in is that there are too many moon words in the skills and name of this golem."

He thought about it for a while, then began to speak slowly.

"There's only one problem, though. Why do I feel that the name of the golem I created has some meaning behind it?"

Edna and Luna exchanged glances. They suddenly felt that their eyes were filled with suspicion.

They looked back at Nathan. They couldn't deny that his explanation seemed quite logical.

Nathan's face became serious. He asked himself. "And most importantly, who is the guardian of the moon?"

"Let's try how powerful this golem is." Nathan nodded, then walked over to the pile of gold coins.

He sat down and tucked himself in.

Nathan immediately switched to his new golem body. He opened his eyes and immediately saw through his dark blue golem eyes.

Nathan raised both hands and looked at them. He moved his fingers.

He wanted to speak, but no sound came out.

Edna looked at the sleeping Nathan, then back at the golem. She walked backward, trying to understand what was going on.

Luna turned to Edna and said something.

With the golem's body, Nathan couldn't hear what they were talking about.

'Really boring. Maybe I need to level up a little more, so this golem has the ability to hear and talk.'

Nathan thought it might be better if he leveled up a little, and then he could communicate while in his golem body.

Nathan took a step and immediately felt a more comfortable sensation with the golem's body, which had a completely humanoid posture. It's just that the height was more than his original height.

Nathan continued walking towards the entrance of the dungeon.

As he was thinking about trying his new golem's ability, Nathan used the skill Enhanced Speed to walk at the fastest speed possible.

"Yes, I find it easier to fight and move using my new golem body."

Outside the cave, Fang, who was sitting and waiting for them, woke up and ran towards the golem.

Nathan lowered his body to welcome Fang's small body.

'It seems Fang has no trouble recognizing me, even though I'm in this kind of body. Hmmm.. Will Fang also understand if I give him an order?'

Nathan grinned, then called out to Fang. 'Fang!'

After hearing Nathan's voice, Fang jumped and turned to look at Nathan.

'Fang, please change to Battle Mode.'

In response, Fang changed into his battle mode.

Nathan watched as Fang turned back to his bigger-sized mode.

Fang stuck out his tongue, then walked around and ran away.

Fang ran back to Nathan. He sniffed Nathan's hand and rubbed his head against Nathan's arm.

Nathan was now laughing.

"Haha... You are so cute!"

Nathan laughed happily. "But still, you are not a dog. Can you be a little bit fiercer, Fang?"

Nathan then spent the remaining time in the Crescent Moon Dimension, getting used to his new golem. He practiced fighting on the back of Fang.

And very soon, the extremely short time they had available in the Crescent Moon Dimension ended.

***

Nathan woke up, and he was right back in his caravan. "Ahhh... Ugh..."

He turned to the side, and He found Edna sitting beside him.

Edna stood up and sat on the chair opposite him.

"Young Master. How was the Crescent Moon Dimension? Did you enjoy it?"

Nathan nodded his head. "Yeah. I liked it. It was a good experience. And of course, I really enjoyed that golem. I think it is much stronger than I expected."

Nathan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then exhaled.

"Young master, about the rescue mission, are you sure about your decision? Isn't this too hasty?"

Nathan opened his eyes and looked at Edna.

"Edna, I've been thinking about it a few times. And I've decided what to do. Because waiting for me to level 50 would be too dangerous for Marco and Linda."

Nathan turned his gaze outside the window. He could see the night sky. "I am confident that I can achieve victory with my new golem and skills."

"Young master, you should think carefully about your choice. You might be sacrificing yourself for this mission."

Nathan faced Edna, "Edna, what would you do if something bad happened to me?"

Edna was silent. After a while, she said, "I will save you. Whatever happens. There's no turning back."

Nathan smiled, then nodded. "Sure, I would do the same thing if it happened to you."

Edna shook her head. "I wouldn't be in that position. I don't want you to do something like that for me."

He shook his head. "The thing is, I'm not doing it for Marco and Linda. I'm doing it for myself. If I don't do anything, then, how will I face the challenges that I will face in the future?"

Edna nodded slowly and, with a deep sigh, finally relented. Then she said, "Then let us make preparations for your journey."

Nathan nodded, then said, "Thank you. Let's go."

Nathan walked towards the caravan door and slowly opened it. Two men standing not far away immediately turned simultaneously toward him.

It was night.

The expanse at the edge of the forest looked bright, partially due to the illumination of the light from inside the caravan and a bonfire on the other side. But mainly, it was due to the sky that night which was quite bright, with stars shining brighter than usual.

Nathan walked up to the guards who were standing at both sides of the entrance.

"Hai.. Nathan-San." Muramoto walked over and waved his hand.

"Hi Muramoto, hi Marco."

Nathan faced Marco, whose face looked stiff, and only smiled slightly in response to his greeting.

"I have made up my mind." Nathan said.

Edna walked out of the caravan slowly and stood close to Nathan.

No one spoke in response to Nathan's words.

"Are we able to carry out this mission tonight?" He continued.

Muramoto looked at Nathan's face with a stiff expression as soon as he heard what he said.

He didn't say anything.

Marco slowly nodded his head. "I really hope you give an answer like this, Nathan. I'm not trying to cover up my desire. Thank you."

Marco lowered his head. "Please sign the contract to make sure I will not betray you in the slightest."

Nathan turned to the camping chairs surrounding the bonfire. He walked over and was immediately followed by the others.

After that, everyone sat around the bonfire. Nathan took out a roll of paper, held it, and showed it to the others.

"See, Marco.. Actually, I intended not to sign this contract."

Marco looked at Nathan for a moment, then shook his head. "You can't do it."

"Nathan.." he continued. "Was what I did to you not enough? I have warned you not to trust anyone one bit. In that contract, I didn't give you any penalty. There is nothing to lose for you."

Nathan shook his head. "If you really intend to follow me. You should know that I'm quite stubborn." Nathan paused for a moment, then continued. "By me going to that place, no matter what the reason, the risk I will face is not small. The things I will do cannot be repaid with just a contract like this."

"You can't do that, Nathan. You can't easily help anyone who asks you for help."

Nathan looked at Muramoto and Marco, then continued.

"Of course I will not help other people so easily. At the very least, he has to go through a life and death situation with me first. Maybe even lose an arm or a leg trying to save me."

Nathan stopped speaking and looked at the paper in his hands.

"If you keep going..." Marco said, but then he fell silent. He looked down for a few moments. Then I heard a small chuckle from the young man.

Marco laughed, chuckling, still putting his head down.

Marco lifted his head and looked at Nathan. His face no longer looked as stiff as before. He was clearly seen smiling in the bonfire's light.

Everyone looked at each other, surprised.

"That's great! That's very good!"

After the laughter, Marco went on to speak again.

"Nathan, I'm really grateful to you. Nathan, with your attitude like this, I want you to sign the contract even more. I am increasingly convinced that following you is the right choice for me. And that I should not hesitate anymore."

Nathan looked at the paper in his hands once more. He finally put his hand on the paper and signed it.

The scroll of paper in Nathan's hand radiated light. The light quickly wrapped around the paper.

A white energy vortex then formed and flowed into two streams of energy that each approached Nathan's and Marco's bodies.

Both streams of energy focused on their palms.

[Tier 3 Contract Scroll has been signed]

[First Party: Marco Frey]

[Second Party: Nathan Gardner]

The light from the contract disappeared.

Nathan then turned to Marco and nodded his head. "Okay, the contract has been completed. Now I want to test the authorization I have for you, Marco. Tell me, who is your crush?" He smiled.
