Chapter 588 - A Brave Young Man (2/2)

However, they encountered something even more brutal than they had expected.

The moment they were about to approach the bronze giant, the giant moved.

The players were prepared. They cast out Dimensional Anchor scrolls in case the bronze giant killed them by flashing.

However… that was when the tragedy happened.

The bronze giant was covered in a thick layer of feces.

It was also spinning fast.

What would that cause?

A storm of solid waste that was spurted out in all directions.

Although the bronze giant couldn’t flash anymore, it could still move. While spinning its upper body and moving its lower body, it raised a tornado as well as a shower of yellow-and-green “sticky mud.” Half of the players had already thrown up and lost their combat ability before they approached it.

Then, those players were minced.

As for the other half of the players… They ran off quickly and cowardly.

They dared not even pick up their fallen shoes.

“Wussies! You wussies!”

The chairman of Fatter Cat shouted with bitter grief, “A true warrior should be brave enough to confront flying s*it!”

“Just go yourself if you think you’re brave!” a player snapped angrily.

“Tsk…” The chairman snorted. “Players nowadays are too smart to be provoked.”

Looking at the bronze giant that was recharged near Tebesia, the players were truly worried.

This thing was impressive. It only knew one move, Blade Storm, yet the players couldn’t defeat it at all.

The enemies in the Spatial Magic Tower must be laughing their heads off watching all this.

However, the truth was the opposite of what they pictured.

The four elders in the Spatial Magic Tower couldn’t be more worried.

“The Golden Sons are stopping our golem from being recharged through self-sacrifices. What do we do?”

“I already said that the golem was poorly designed. It should’ve been charged while it was still dormant instead of when it woke up.”

“However, charging such an enormous golem would cause a great tide of magic power that other people would notice. Besides, a fully-charged golem might go on a rampage.”

“Then set a cap for the charge.” “That’s impossible. Golems have basic intelligence. They’re already creatures. Just like it’s our instinct to eat food, it will consume as much energy as possible when it’s charged.”

“Then, we’ll have to activate the ultimate plan: soul replacement.” Greene seemed to be struggling. “Let a Master Mage place their soul in the golem and replace its budding consciousness. That way, the golem will be under our control, and the charge can be performed more judiciously.”

“That’s too inhumane.”

“Better than letting the Magic Tower be conquered.” Pylos thought for a moment and said, “I know a man who’s a Master and willing to control the golem.” “Who?”

“A man who is willing to sacrifice everything for love.”

Three hours later, a young couple stood on the city wall of Tebesia.

On the other side of the wall was the enormous head of the golem, which looked intimidating just meters away from the wall.

The red-haired young girl gently folded the young man’s hands in her own. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and benevolence. “Go, Barton. This is your future and your freedom. See who our enemies are, and save the future of our Magic Tower if they’re evil, okay?”

“My life is yours!” The man fell to his knees and kissed the back of the woman’s hand. His tears flooded out and he sobbed. “I’m willing to give up everything for you!” He cried aloud and looked at the woman with great affection.

The red-haired girl encouraged him with gentle eyes.

In the end, he wiped his eyes and stood on top of the golem’s head with a floating spell. Then, he gazed at the red-haired girl.

Elder Pylos, who had waited a long time, pointed at the young man.

Strange light emanated from the golem’s head, and the man quickly disintegrated into ashes.

A transparent figure crawled into the golem’s head.

The stripes on the golem quickly turned red, and they flowed in a fixed rhythm, as if they were being pumped by a heart. Staring at the transforming golem, the red-haired girl was filled with excitement “It’s so gorgeous!”

Pylos smiled too. “Our golem is now finally completed.”

The players who were keeping an eye on the golem were all greatly surprised.

“Shoot! The Gundam has an HP bar now!” An extremely long HP bar appeared above the bronze giant in the views of all the players.

There was also a name behind the bar.

Intelligent Golem (Overlord)

Behind the name was the icon of a blood-red skeleton.

It all looked rather frightening.
