[Killing Intent - 12 MP/second]
A single second was enough for Ash to land his first hit.
The Golem was thrice his size, covered in crystalline ice. Ash rushed forward, dodging the ice shards scattered across the ground, and landed a strike on its chest.
The Golem was frozen by his skill, forced to take the full brunt of the blow. Its design was unusual—its body wasn't solid ice but a honeycomb crystalline structure, like a lattice of frozen glass.
The area Ash struck cracked apart, sending cobweb-like fissures across its body. He quickly retreated, disabling Killing Intent.
The Golem turned its menacing eyes toward him as a mist of snow rose, cloaking its body. Before Ash's eyes, the cracks filled in, undoing his efforts.
"He has self-healing. Go in right after me," Jessie said, analyzing the situation.
Ash realized things weren't as simple as he first thought. His stats had heightened, but this beast wasn't only strong in attack—it had dangerous, troublesome skills.
