Chapter 84: 84: Popular Golem Knowledge
"Second, to deal with the golems, I think we need to find their weakness. In nature, all things have a weakness somewhere. We just need to find it before the golems end us. If you guys have some ideas about this, you can freely say your ideas.
Third, since there are six golems. Each of us needs to face one. Except for Johan. He would be together with Rina since he's still new. Tamasai would take care of two. You saw how he took care of the six, so I don't doubt his ability.
And lastly, please, if something goes wrong, try to remain calm and don't act on impulse. Understood?"
Suddenly, Caleb raised his hand. The members and Fushigiro looked at Caleb.
"I think I have an idea about their weakness," Caleb said.
Dunn snickered and patted Caleb on the head. "Huh? How would you know their weakness? You're joking, right?"
Fatty, on the other hand, felt weird since he could tell that Johan wasn't lying. After all, he knew that Johan wasn't someone who would lie after living with the latter in the same house for years. 'Could it be... he really knew?'
"Well, just say it. It won't hurt anyone." Rina encouraged.
Caleb forced out a confident smile on his face. After all, who was the most familiar golems here? Him! As someone who played RPG games, he knew their traits well. Of course, it was on the premise that the golems in this world had the same design. It doesn't really make sense, but there's nothing to lose if they tried, right?
Taking a deep breath, Caleb began to utilize the Dao of Bullshit or also known as Talk no Jutsu. "One possible weakness is that the golems may have a finite amount of regenerative energy or resources. While they can regenerate body parts, this process might consume a significant amount of their internal energy source. Over time, if this energy is depleted, their regenerative abilities could weaken or cease altogether."
"That's reasonable. What else?" Jin nodded thoughtfully, as the logic behind Johan's statement was quite rational. 'This kid... He is really a genius!'
Fushigiro and Dunn also nodded. They couldn't find fault in Johan's logic. On the other hand, Tamasai showed an interested expression and his eyes were staring directly at Caleb.
'What's with this guy?' Caleb shuddered. He pretended to not see him and decided to continue. He knew that he bought them. Actually, he was just saying his knowledge about Golems using the games and books in his past life as a basis. He didn't know if they were the same here, but it was worth trying. He cleared his throat and said:
"Another potential weakness is that these golems might have a central core or vital organ that is essential for their regeneration. If this core can be located and damaged beyond its regenerative capacity, it could incapacitate the golem or significantly slow down the regeneration process."
"How the fuck did you come up with such persuasive guesses!?" Dunn couldn't take it anymore. He was in disbelief!
"I'm not guessing..." Caleb shook his head. "This is called the Science of Deduction. Unlike others, I'm actively observing and analyzing in my head when Tamasai was fighting with those rocks." Read new stories on m_vl_em_p_yr
"That's a good habit." Jin smiled.
Caleb smirked. "Thanks, I guess? But let me continue first..."
"Go on... We're listening." Fushigiro nodded.
Luna looked at the members of the hunting party and felt unbelievable how Johan managed to make them take him seriously. 'Amazing.'
"Based on my initial observation, those golems' cheating regenerative abilities may not be able to regenerate instantly. I noted that their regeneration process took one minute for them to fully recover earlier, during which they might be vulnerable to attacks. Quick and relentless assaults might prevent them from fully recovering before they are defeated. Jin could capitalize on this since he's good at efficient attacks.
These golems might require specific resources or materials to fuel their regeneration. If these resources can be depleted or cut off, the golem's ability to regenerate could be compromised. Identifying and controlling their resource supply could be an effective strategy. However, this is unlikely, since there is nothing around them."
Caleb took a deep breath. Talking uninterruptedly made him almost breathless. He looked at the people around him who were paying attention. He even felt ridiculous showing some reaction. Albeit, minimal.
"The process of regeneration might generate heat. If the golem's regeneration causes excessive heat buildup, it might become susceptible to overheating or even combustion. Exploiting this vulnerability could lead to their destruction."
Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this. "I have the same speculation. I noticed that when they are regenerating, there is faint black smoke in the gaps of their rock body."
"Really? Why I haven't noticed it?" Dunn felt for the first time that he wasn't attentive enough.
Caleb chuckled. "Because you're focused on the process of the fight itself, not the nuances and small details. Well, it's okay since not everyone would have the patience for such things."
"Johan, I didn't expect that you have developed such a habit," Andre said in awe.
The others nodded, agreeing with Andre's words. Particularly, Luna. After all, she was the one who was looking out for him in the past, since Johan looked timid and weak. Who would have known that it was the opposite now? Luna felt that she was not in the world anymore.
"Well, are there still things you haven't said yet? Disclose them now." Fushigiro patted Caleb on the back with a satisfied expression.
"No, that's it. Now, the only problem we have to face now is their ability to increase the gravity."
"Well, we can't do anything about the gravity. We can only fight them strategically. Fortunately, they're not that fast." Dunn said helplessly.
"How about us? What should we do?" Clifford joined in the conversation. "I don't think we would be able to do anything since we can't move, even though the pressure was already at its weakest earlier when we were far away."
"Just hide and don't do anything stupid." Fushigiro looked at Fatty, Luna, and the other two and warned, prompting them to nod obediently.
Caleb looked at the others with his usual shit-eating grin. "Let's go! Fight those damned stony bastards!"
