Chapter 964: Golems (1/2)

For the next few hours, Sam maintained the same lead as he created after realizing the use of glass boulders.

He kicked the boulders at Gran whenever she tried to throw the knives at him or whenever she tried to reduce the distance. He managed to keep that steady distance without any changes. But he knew that he couldn't go on like this. Because the glass boulders reduced in numbers and the rocky boulders took their original dominating spot and even they are not as dense as before.

On this way, Sam noticed the effects of this meteor shower on the land and the environment. He noticed that there is even an undead glass boulder that turned some beasts into undead and in fact it is so potent that it managed to create some undead trees which are extremely rare.

So rare that even in the realm of undead he only managed to see a few.

All this while they ran through a partial forest route and partial open route, but Sam could see an open plain in horizon. A few hundred meters away.

He ran towards the plain without a stop and he even didn't care about kicking the glass boulders at Gran.

Gran who is following him closely made a flip and kicked a basket ball sized boulder towards him. But Sam already saw it and easily dodged. But the attack from Gran continued, but Sam didn't have any glass boulder left. So, he also decided to reply in kind.

As soon as he stepped foot on the plain field, he made a flip in the air and kicked on a rock. But instead the rock flying over like a ball, his leg got stuck in it.

Sam couldn't see what help on to him, but it almost felt like something bit on his leg tightly.

He started dropping down along with the rocky boulder.

Sam became a bit vigilant and tried to pull his leg, but it didn't come out. He used the second leg and the void style to kick on the rock continously, and right before he crashed into the ground, he managed to get rid of that biting grip.

When the dust settled, what he saw in front of him shocked him. He turned around and looked. From a bunch of boulders, rock golems are emerging with different elemental energies surrounding it.

The one in front of Sam has lightning elemental energy inside it and when it punched Sam, he could feel the lightning striking him as he blocked.

His whole arm felt numb.

And the rest of the golems within the range also started coming towards Sam as they attacked.

Sam felt a bit frustrated. He fell into her trap once again. She timed it perfectly.

And the worst part is, when he saw Gran, she just smoothly crossed over and left. The golems didn't even bother with her as she dodged them perfectly.

Sam realized how stupid he has been. If he was a bit later or even a bit calmer and didn't kick the boulder, there is a great chance that the golems wouldn't bother about him too and this belief only reinforced when the golems far away from started fighting each other when there is no other living thing within a certain range.

They don't have any intelligence and they barely had any sentience. They have only desire to fight and when a crearture or moving object comes within a certain range of their senses, they fight. And once they are engaged if a second object comes, they ignore.

If no object comes at all, they just roam aimlessly.

This caused Sam to curse under his own breath and since all the golems already surrounded him, he saw no other way.

He took out his staff and used a combination of ripple style and Void style. This is something he came up with when he was reseaching the metal poles that uses three styles and crush the structures.

In this combined style of ripple style and void style, the spiritual energy will travel in ripples across the object he hit and when the ripples reached their maximum range, they are explode according to void style.

Sam smashed the staff on the leg of the golem coming towards him and the energy worked according to the combination which crumbled the whole limb joint.

The golem crashed to the ground and Sam smashed another hand making it impossible to get up. He doesn't need to completely destroy them as long as they don't come to fight him.

He moved fast and swift as he hit each golem, but he realized that there is no end to this as many golems kept on surrounding him.

He used a full strength and spun the staff to land as many hits as he can and finished a bunch of golems in a single strike before gather time for a breath. He looked at Gran who is moving forward and the lead is increasing. He couldn't bear it anymore and put the energy conservation at side before deciding to cross the field first.
