Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith-Chapter 79 Absurd Power

As the light cleared, a limp body fell from the air to the floor. That body was of course Cedrics. After stumbling back due to the light, the guardian stopped and turned around, facing Lyrian and the others while ignoring Cedric.

"It turned around because he was unconscious?" Lyrian questioned, dashing back to create space between himself and the monster.

Seeing the bright flash of light, Alten exclaimed from the back "Hey! What the hell just happened!"

"I don't know! We don't have time to figure it out either!" Lyrian replied hastily, as the guardian began hovering toward them again.

Everyone near the guardian, the close-range fighters, began running away from it. They all thought of what to do next. Right now, there looked to be no hope in sight.

"Our attacks do nothing to it! It's too strong!" Han exclaimed as he ran.

Hearing this, Lyrian thought about what Han said for a moment, 'Are we really too weak? It shouldn't be like this. They wouldn't put a creature so absurdly powerful in here for us to beat, no, there has to be a way for us to win.' He began thinking even deeper, desperately trying to find a crack in the puzzle.

'When we attacked it, it's not like we actually touched the stone it was made out of. It felt like we were attacking some sort of thin barrier to protect it. If I'm right, all we have to do is find what's keeping that barrier active and destroy it.' He guessed. But still, it was just a shot in the dark.

On that subject, Lyrian thought of another shot in the dark to gain info, "Alright! Guys! Try attacking its arm instead of its main body this time! Maybe we can damage it like that!" He yelled to the long-range attackers who were standing on the side of the arena.

"How are you sure it will work!? What if it fails again?" Silas yelled from afar.

"I don't! We just have no other choice right now!"

...

Although he was unwilling, Silas felt as though he had no other choice right now, and didn't have a better plan in mind to refute Lyrians, "Alright, fine! Just distract it!" He said as the other two beside him also prepared themselves to cast their spells.

"We got you! Just focus on landing your spells!" Han shouted to them.

Although the guardian was fast, it seemed to be about the exact same speed as the boys. This was relieving, but still absurd seeing as how the defense was clearly its greatest stat, not speed.

"Wild Wind Slash!" Silas yelled out, swiping his wand as a large blade of wind summoned out of thin air and flew toward the guardian's right arm.

"Blazing Ball!" Arthur announced, casting his own giant sphere of flame that followed the wind slash's trajectory.

Alten charged up his large white-metal bow as the arrow turned into a glowing yellow bar, "Piercing Shot!" He yelled, releasing a hyper-fast bolt that quickly darted past the first two spells.

Finally, all three spells hit the arm of the guardian at once, causing a massive explosion. As the dust cleared, Lyrian noticed that the arms of the creature, made up of several small rocks conjoined together with the golden essence, were actually flying off to the side. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑐𝑜𝘮

"Did it work!?" Han said eagerly, seeing this as well.

However, in a split second, the essence connecting the rocks quickly expanded, catching the flying rocks once again as they formed back into the arm quickly.

"What?! Is that essence alive or something!?" Hugo yelled in shock.

Lyrian was also caught off guard by this, 'That yellow liquid moved as if it was alive. Without it, the rocks would just turn back into random stones, instead of being a part of the creature...'

After realizing this, he called out, "Again! Do it one more time!" He wanted to see if his theory was true.

'Instead of fighting the golem, maybe our real goal is to fight that yellow substance!'

Arthur was thrown off by this, "Why again!? Wouldn't we just be wasting ou--" He was abruptly cut off before being able to finish.

"Just trust me and do it!" Lyrian exclaimed.

"Ugh! Okay, one more time!"

The three prepared and launched their attacks again, as the same thing that happened before, happened again. This time Lyrian made sure to get a close, direct look at what happened as the dust cleared.

As the attacks hit the arm of the guardian, the rocks tried to explode away, turning back into simple stones with no consciousness, however, the yellow essence quickly molded around them and pulled them back into formation.

"As I thought... so that's who you really are!" Lyrian yelled as he saw this.

Hearing this, the guardian suddenly slammed his fists into the ground once more, causing spikes of stone pillars to rupture from the floor toward the boys.

All of them quickly jumped to the side again, but Hugo's leg was caught slightly with one of the spikes, causing him to trip and fall onto his face. His big size was a bit of a problem in this scenario, where currently, speed was important.

The guardian quickly arrived where Hugo was and immediately neared its hand to pick him up.

Seeing this, Han yelled in frustration, "Shit! Hugo!"

As they all began to run again, Lyrian suddenly broke off from the group and headed straight toward where Hugo and the guardian were.

"Lyrian? What are you doing?" Leon said as he saw this, slightly shocked.

Alten was also perplexed, "Don't be stupid right now, you'll get eliminated!" He shouted.

As the guardian's arm reached 10 feet from Hugo, who was on the ground, Lyrian appeared in front and jumped up to its face.

"I need as many people as possible to beat you!" He yelled, taking the hilt of his sword and stabbing it directly into the guardian's eye, which was full of the golden essence.
