My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~ - Chapter 209.1

Chapter 209: Sand Construction

What I learned from training in the sand with Athena was that it was much harder to handle than wood .

Since it was already made of little particles it was easy to change its shape but…

「Hardening and maintaining it is difficult . 」

I tried to make a sand golem but once it got too large it started to crumble and fall apart .

At this point I was finally able to make a golem around 3 meters large, what I would call a medium golem .

Furthermore, unlike the wood and water golems it was quite slim .

「U-umm, though you say it’s difficult you already made a golem like this Daichi-oniisan . 」
「Well yeah . Just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean I can’t do it . 」

It was just that the degree of difficulty had changed .

Looks like I’ll definitely need more practice for a sand golem .

……using it to make a building seems even harder so I’ll leave it for later .

I had made a sand castle miniature for fun, but even that took quite a bit of time .

The sand was fairly hard to use so I had to think more carefully on how to use it and where .

It was a troublesome material I thought when…

「Ah! Daichi-oniisan somethings coming over there!」

Athena suddenly cried out .

「n? Over there? You mean from the lake?」

I turned to look where Athena was pointing .

There I saw a several meter large grey and black rock .

Actually it looks like it’s heading over here .

「What is that? A golem?」
「No Daichi-oniisan . That’s a Rock Crab . 」

「No Daichi-oniisan . That’s a Rock Crab . 」
「Rock Crab?」
「Un, it’s a crab that mimics rocky outcroppings by the side of water . It usually stays still peacefully but gets rougher when hungry . 」

That’s… . a crab?

Certainly if I look closer it had some similarities to crabs .

Adding on its large snapping claws I could definitely tell that it was headed straight for us .

「——so that means…it got angry and is coming to attack us?」
「That…seems to be the case . It is technically a creature that attacks humans after all . 」
「Fumu fumu, then it doesn’t matter if I beat it up . 」

I said and Athena nodded with a complex look on her face .

「Un, but this Crab has a shell that is hard and thick like a rock so flames and physical attacks don’t work well on it . Honestly with the power I have now it wouldn’t really harm it . 」
「Physical damage doesn’t work well huh? … . . then maybe I should let this sand golem give it a shot . 」
「Eh?」

Athena tilted her head in confusion as I turned to order the sand golem I had just created .

「For now…hit that crab sand golem . 」

I wanted to know the endurance and strength of the golem I had just made .

I wanted to know the endurance and strength of the golem I had just made .

Since it was supposedly strong and thick then it was a worthwhile test .

Those were my thoughts as I gave the order . Then…

「——」

The sand golem immediately obeyed .

It walked as if sliding across the sand towards the Rock Crab .

Then with movements smoother than any golem I had made so far…it swung its fist .

「Gii………」

The Rock Crab with its prided defense charged towards the golem with a cry .

There was a head on clash .

—Gusha—

The sand golem’s fist caved in the Rock Crab’s body .

In the middle of the Rock Crab’s shell was a huge dent .

Following that the Rock Crab collapsed to the ground and died .

「W-waaa~…… . Daichi-oniisan’s magic hardening seems to be better . 」
「…… . I guess so . This also might be part of the sand’s special characteristic . 」

Looking at the aftermath you could see that the surrounding area was shaved away .

The sand was rough and particulate so when swung as a fish with high velocity it produced a scraping and shaving effect .

「So it shaves it down as it strikes . If I don’t reduce its grinding power it could be dangerous . 」

If I left it as is, the entire body would just be a grinder .

In fact the blow it gave was overdoing it .

「I finally got to see a crab like this…I was hoping I could use it a little longer . 」
「Ah-ahahaha……b-but in the end you got some good prey Onii-san . The Rock Crab is supposed to be delicious . 」
「Oh really? Since it’s so big we can have plenty then . 」

Just like Athena said, I had gotten myself a ton of delicious crab meat safely .

Perfect, it was close to lunchtime so I was looking forward to tasting it .
