CHAPTER 374: AN INVITATION (1/2)
“Them?” Sidarth nonchalantly swept his eyes across the golem army. “They seem slow, are you sure they are even usable?” He narrowed his eyes as he emphasized that last point.
“Do you want to try them out then?”
Faced with that obvious challenge, Sidarth had only one answer to give. He immediately charged at one of the Winged Abyssal Golems and fired off his Raging Flame Charge without any warning. Unlike Sinmosa’s own version, his was several times stronger. As the flames roared around him, the air visibly warped from the sheer heat he generated.
In what felt like an instant, Sidarth crossed a distance of one hundred meters and crashed into the Winged Abyssal Golem only to have a big load of nothing happen… Other than Sidarth being tossed to the ground from the rebounding force of the collision, nothing else happened.
“Blast it.” The fact that an elder like him couldn’t even damage the golem had definitely frustrated him.
In fact, he wasted no time in launching another attack at the golem who had barely budged an inch till now. However, this time was no different from the first: failure.
With its defenses comparable to an Eight-star, could a Six-star Cerberus like Sidarth even leave a scratch on it? Clearly, not. Like an ant trying to topple an elephant…
Still, that didn’t deter him from throwing whatever he had at the still unharmed golem. A wave of furious clawing and bites later, the golem’s defenses still prevailed. His maniacal attacking might not have caused any damage to the golem, but it slowly began to change my opinion of him.
‘What the potato?! I’m still standing here. You actually dare to disrespect my golems right in front of my face?!’
Yet before I could give the command to teach this unruly dog a lesson, Mo Na had already taken the initiative. A clarion voice rang out from my side. “What are you standing there for? Attack!”
With Mo Na’s command, the golem finally acted. It suddenly lifted its left leg and kicked the offending dog away. However, its speed was just too slow. Coupled with the fact that Sidarth still hadn’t lost his senses, it didn’t take much for him to detect the golem’s hostility. With a twist of his body, he forcefully halted his charge and narrowly avoided the golem’s foot.
“You dare fight back?!”
At the same time that the golem’s leg flew past him, Sidarth took the opportunity to claw at it. Unfortunately, this achieved nothing.
“Uncle!” Perhaps it was because she noticed my increasingly foul mood, Sinmosa used this brief window to shout from afar at her uncle. “Come back, Uncle, those golems are far too tough, normal attacks won’t do much against them.”
“Tough? How tough?”
That lap was mainly to lord his speed superiority over the golem. When he approached the golem’s range, it instinctively threw out a punch at him but only ended up hitting his aftershadow. It was a brilliant move on his part. At the very least, this act managed to salvage some of the face he lost after that beating.
“That winged golem’s defenses are almost equal to an Eight-star’s. I once saw a Nightmare Steed strike it and fail to leave a mark…”
Sinmosa briefly recounted our fight with the Warhorses. When she finished, the old dog fell silent.
“So you’ve even met a Nightmare Steed, how did you all survive then…”
“We did bump into three Nightmare Steeds, but they couldn’t handle us. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that neither of us could…”
Sidarth looked into her eyes for a long while. Finally, he said, “If it wasn’t for the fact that I watched you grow up myself, I would’ve thought that you were lying. Based on the strength you all have right now, it should be impossible to escape from three Nightmare Steeds, unless…”
“Sidarth, bring our guests to me.” Before Sidarth could finish his sentence, a wizened voice boomed from the direction of the Hellhounds’ nest. The moment they heard this voice, all the Hellhounds present all prostrated themselves, as if they had just received a divine commandant.
