27 Crystal golem uniqueness
Brandon retreated to a quiet corner in the courtyard, finding solace in meditation as he sought to replenish his depleted mana.
He knew that he needed to regain his strength for the upcoming round, since Alec made it clear that they would be sparring continuously.
Observing Brandon's behavior, Alec nodded in approval.
However, Arthur couldn't help but feel a urge to throw up as
It was disconcerting to see Alec exuding such maturity and composure, especially considering they were of the same age.
"Begin," Alec commanded,
And the golems moved forward, Surprisingly, the six-armed zombies hesitated and backed away.
However, the other golem, adorned with a power crystal on its chest, continued to advance gracefully towards Arthur.
"Oh, great, I only have to face one of these guys, Easy peasy," Arthur said confidently.
Summoning his familiar stone bullet spell, Arthur created ten sharp stones that swiftly spiraled upward.
He planned to disrupt the golem's movement with this attack.
To Arthur's dismay, the golem simply raised its hand, conjuring a golden shield that effortlessly blocked all of the stone bullets.
"Damn it! How is that fair?, This is clearly cheating," Arthur protested, frustration coursing through him.
The resounding clank of the stones hitting the shield echoed in the air, leaving visible dents.
However, it did nothing to impede the golem's relentless march.
The golem's chest emitted a brilliant golden glow, and even Arthur could perceive the crystal's color dimming.
He knew that an attack was imminent, but he was uncertain about the nature of the next attack.
Reacting swiftly, he emulated the golem's earlier move, creating a metal shield.
Usually, he would have used an earth wall or earth shield, but witnessing the golem's mastery of the metal shield technique made him realize he had been neglecting the use of his other element skill.
Earth wall consumed more mana, and the earth shield was cumbersome in comparison.
However, Arthur's awe quickly turned to shock as he saw five metal blades materializing in the air, pointing directly at him with precision.
"Are you kidding me? How is this a freaking unclassified golem? It's already using a Tier 1 magical spell," Arthur exclaimed,
frustration laced in his voice as he futilely attempted to dodge.
However, his efforts were in vain as the gleaming golden blade pierced his skin, or so he thought.
To his surprise, nothing happened as the blades disintegrated upon contact with Arthur's skin.
"Don't worry, I made sure they wouldn't harm you, The moment it believed it had won, it ceased its attack," Alec reassured, explaining the situation.
"What the hell was that? It just used a Tier 1 spell," Arthur grumbled, feeling a mix of confusion and annoyance.
"Well, that's because I infused the golem with a power crystal acquired from a Tier 1 Beast that had metal elemental properties. It was a gift from the old man," Alec clarified.
"You do realize that 'old man' happens to be your grandfather and also the patriarch of this family, right?" Arthur pointed out, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, he certainly has his ways," Alec chuckled.
Before Arthur's fight could be considered over, Alec's attention was caught by the six-handed golem.
It drew out the blades hidden within its back, passing them to the four hands at its forefront.
Pointing its four blades towards Arthur, the golem unleashed a deafening roar, its red eyes flickering with anticipation.
"Oh, I am so screwed!" Arthur muttered to himself, bracing for what was to come.
"Earth spear."
"Earth spear."
"Earth spear."
"Earth spear."
Arthur unleashed his full strength, flinging his arms forward and sending a barrage of earth spears hurtling towards the advancing golem.
Yet, the golem effortlessly swatted away the spears with its immense strength.
Using a single sword slash from each hand, it swiftly deflected the four earth spears as if they were mere miniature missiles.
"Gah! I'm not giving up yet!" Arthur yelled, infused with determination.
He channeled his mana, condensing it into his hands to create metal gloves.
With a burst of speed, he lunged towards the golem, throwing the first punch.
Unfortunately, the golem easily evaded his attack and retaliated by slashing at Arthur with one of its rear hands.
"Damn you!" Arthur exclaimed, swiftly using his left hand to block the golem's sword and holding it firmly in place.
With all his might, he punched the arm wielding the sword, successfully disarming the golems.
However, before he could make a move, five other swords were already placed menacingly against his neck.
"You... Los... E," Legion said, no longer laughing eerily, his voice filled with malice.
"Are you the one who made them attack him one by one?" Alec questioned Legion, seeking an explanation.
"Yes... Si... Re, I noticed... That... They were stronger tha...n him and wouldn't awaken their potential just by ganging up... on him," Legion replied, bowing in apology.
Alec felt a sense of gratitude that they hadn't attacked together. freewebnov el.com
If they had, it would have completely shattered Arthur's confidence, considering how easily each golem overpowered him alone.
Joining forces would have been overkill.
"Why don't you go over there and meditate with Brandon?, Once your mana pool is full again, you can engage in another battle," Alec suggested, offering a solution.
"What?!" Arthur protested, desperate to have a moment of respite.
"Practice makes perfect, You've made small improvements, even if you can't see it. I'm just here to help push you towards your goals," Alec explained, his intentions masked by his outward sincerity.
"Why do I feel like I'm being scammed?" Arthur grumbled inwardly, his intuition on high alert.
The truth was that Alec did have ulterior motives.
Arthur and Brandon were being manipulated, pawns in a larger scheme.
Even the six-armed golem failed to awaken anything within them, The fight was simply not challenging enough.
Despite Alec's hidden agenda, his words held some truth.
Arthur was on the cusp of reaching the mid-tier one mage realm, making progress.

Alec felt a mix of surprise and pride as he observed the new skills that had suddenly appeared in his repertoire, including the metal gloves skill.
It was evident that he had learned and developed these abilities on his own, without relying on skill books or seeking guidance from the elders of the family.
"Just a little push, and you'll have a breakthrough into a new realm," Alec whispered to himself, feeling hopeful for his two siblings who were currently meditating under the comforting shade of a nearby tree.
With a determined stride, Alec approached his newly created golems, eager to reexamine their stats and gather more information.
