Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 83

We are in a desolate place covered in rocks.

「So there really are stray golems.」
「It is said that they escape from dungeons.」

We were hiding behind a rock, observing a stone golem over 3 meters tall.
As Sophia explained, there were 5 magic stones arranged in a cross-like formation on the Stone Golem's chest. The core is supposed to be in he middle of those, but it wasn't on the surface.

To find out whether we can tame a golem or not, we went to this location. At first we were planning on trying it on the Iron Golem in the dungeon, but everyone's commented that a Stone Golem might be more susceptible to influence.
For Sophia, this golem is a win. If we're talking normal Stone Golems, it is powerful in strength but its movements are dull, however, the golem in our sights doesn't have to worry about its size and looks to be quite agile.

The stone golem in front of us has an appearance similar to a marshmallow man with two long arms and basketball sized fists. If hit by those fists, it wouldn't end with just an apology. I pondered on how I would go about taming it.

「But that golem, is likely a genuine guardian protecting ruins somewhere. It has magic stones and patterns engraved in parts of its body.」

When ruins decay, their guardians usually crumble as well, but once in a while, there are irregular beings such as this one that become stray monsters, or so said Sophia's grandmother.

「Tak.u.mi-sama, I think you should destroy its limbs using magic first. After that, destroy its face.」

When Sophia said that, I looked at the Stone Golem's head. I don't know those eyes had sensors, but it had two eyes.

「Those eyes are likely dangerous.」
「You're right, I have a feeling those are bad somehow.」

I think that there's no way that the guardian has only the physical attacks of Stone Golems. Maybe lasers?

『Beep boop beep beep beep』

Suddenly, we heard sounds coming from the Stone Golem and it started approaching us. Although I was feeling jittery at the 3 meter tall intimidating Stone Golem slowly approaching, I was, for some reason, convinced it was alright.

「…… Is taming it possible?」
「…… not yet. It's faint but I have a feeling that a path connects.」

The super heavyweight Stone Golem stopped in front of me. And its pingpong-sized blue jewel-like eyes stared at me.

「…………I tamed it.」
「「「……………………」」」

Thus, I named this Stone Golem 『t.i.tan』.
And then I checked t.i.tan's status.
However, it's current status is that of a Stone Golem's. I knew we were connected through taming, but t.i.tan's real form is its core. The properties of its body doesn't necessarily have to be stone. Be it iron, mithril, or wood. it doesn't matter. And so, its status values change according to the materials and size of its body.

t.i.tan conveyed its will of wanting a body that's average sized body if it could.

And so t.i.tan's body crumbled, and from within the magic stones on its chest, it transformed into a 120 cm mini t.i.tan.

「You'll follow us in that size, right?」
『・・・・・・・・』

Afterwards, the girls, who've returned to themselves, and I returned to Volton with t.i.tan.
When we return home, I have to go to my workshop and a.n.a.lyze t.i.tan's core. If I can use it as a slight reference, then I think I'll be able to upgrade the golems currently protecting our house.
