NovelEnglishNone of my golems survived. I mean, could I really have kept one after watching them tear apart my body gleefully limb by limb as I screamed in agony. Even though it wasn’t me, and that person finally dissipated into smoke and left behind an item drop, it still left bad memories in my mind. As much as it would have been nice to flood the dungeons with my minions and wipe out everything, I wouldn’t have gained much experience.
The golems were too weak and ineffective to be useful nearby, and at a distance, I wouldn’t get experience for the battle. I might get some Monster Tamer experience since they are my monsters, but it wouldn’t help any of my other jobs. Plus, they really were dumb creatures, and even orders like pick up everything and bring it back to me is too hard, so I’d be sacrificing most of the drops for the dungeon to reabsorb.

Even using the golems as a meat shield, while it sounds harsh, Terra can function as a considerably more effective one. We’d be more likely to get hurt trying to fight around the sluggish movements of the golems than to not use them at all. Thus, I gave them the self-destruct order I had just unlocked.
{Monster Tamer has increased to level 20.}
{You have learned the skill: Self-destruct.}
{True Hero has increased to level 12.}
{You have learned the skill: Parry.}
{Basic Magician has increased to level 25.}

{For learning a basic level of controlling magic, you have unlocked Intermediate Magician.}
Of course, when I ordered them to self-destruct, I didn’t know that meant literally. The golems started exploding, and the group of us had to run from the boss room followed by booming noises. Thankfully, I had already snatched up the loot, so we were able to flee the room relatively safely.
As far as the reward for defeating my doppelganger, it was an enchanted necklace. Moderate Item Identify showed it to have a spell of shapeshifting. It was similar to what Shao could do with the fairy dust. Since it was a spell that required fairy dust, I suspected that this was a valuable necklace. I made sure to put it in my Storage for later. Not my storage ring, but a storage skill. It was another one unlocked from True Hero. Its space was proportional to my level, which meant it was always getting bigger. That was just one more of the new abilities I had gained thanks to True Hero.
By the way, I also did some tests on the 2nd job. That is to say that I equipped True Hero, selected the third job, and then swapped True Hero out for another job. I was curious about what would happen. The result was that I ended up with an ultra-expensive 2nd job. I would still lose my third job, and only have two jobs, except that I was spending 5 dp for it. However, I still preferred it this way. Once I reequipped True Hero, I got the third job back, so it was a speedy way to hot-swap things.
However good these jobs were, though, I had to remind myself that they still had disadvantages compared to their dungeon point counters. Namely, I had to keep them equipped as jobs to use them. If I already considered True Hero, Slave Master, and Dungeon Diver as necessary jobs. This didn’t give me a lot of room for leveling anything else.
This was a dilemma that seemed to only be fixable by earning more dungeon points. Well, we were on our way towards finishing the dungeon, just ten more levels to go.
