Chapter 591 This Isn’t a Special Drama
Although the intelligent golem had secured a triumph, it couldn’t really continue attacking the enemy.
Its biggest limitation was still a lack of energy.
Even though its energy regeneration was much faster with the injected human soul, it was not as fast as its consumption.
It was rather annoying that the Golden Sons kept attacking every day.
“We have to end this.” Greene clenched his fists and bashed the table. “I’m serious. If this goes on, our morale will be affected. Besides, the intelligent golem’s soul and body aren’t fused yet, and its full strength can’t be carried
out.”
“But the Golden Sons are undying. It won’t be easy to deal with them.” Pylos rubbed his eyebrow. “To some extent, they’re even trickier than undead creatures. We can use magic and theurgy of the light class to cope with undead creatures, but the Golden Sons have few vulnerabilities.”
“The Golden Sons have weaknesses too,” Greene explained. “Their capabilities plummet every time they die. I’m told that someone killed a Golden Son so many times that he became as weak as an ordinary person.”
Pylos realized his intention. “Are you saying that we should attack promptly, raze their base, and slaughter them so that their capabilities will drop significantly?”
“That’s the only thing we can do.” Greene nodded solemnly. “They’ll keep harassing you like ants if you don’t purge them.”
“What plan do you have?” asked Pylos.
Greene gently stroked the back of his left hand with his right. Thinking for a moment, he said, “Start a total war. We’ve wager everything we have on it.”
“But that requires the authorization of the Great Elder,” said Pylos gloomily, “who’s already dead now.”
Greene stood up. “By the principles of inheritance, I’m the acting Great Elder right now. I propose the motion of a total war. Please vote.”
Greene was indeed the Legendary elder who was the fourth in order.
Now that the first three elders were all dead, he was truly qualified to be the new Great Elder.
The other two legends thought for a moment and both nodded.
They agreed to initiate a total war. They had all realized that the Spatial Magic Tower would be doomed if they didn’t do anything, so they might as well try their luck.
Then, the meeting was adjourned, and everybody prepared for war.
Very soon… the whole Spatial Magic Tower was moving In the base, Roland watched the footage of the battles so far and studied them carefully for a few hours before he offered his opinion in the command center. “At least 27 buffs have been perpetualized on this golem, which can turn it into a highly agile ‘bulldozer.’ To destroy it, we need a weapon that can destroy its physical defense.”
“Where can we find such a weapon?” Wright, leader of Fatter Cat, spoke like a billionaire. “Money and materials won’t be a problem.”
As a matter of fact, the Hero’s Sword should be able to destroy the golem’s body, but Roland didn’t want to reveal all the powers of the Hero’s Sword to the players.
Although Andonara had killed plenty of players with the Hero’s Sword, the weapon had always been wreathed in blue flames when she did so. Most players were actually “burned” after they were physically cut apart.
Therefore, Andonara’s Hero’s Sword wasn’t fully unveiled to the players.
Most players’ impression of the sword was that it was a cool, fiery magic sword.
Roland was quite glad to see that.
At this moment, the players’ levels and ambitions were all inflating.
They desired more practical skills, perks, and equipment.
Should they see all the stats of the Hero’s Sword, even Andonara would suffer their harassment no matter how strong she was.
Even if they couldn’t rob her, they could always try to steal it from her! As a player himself, Roland knew very well how crazy his fellows could be when they got attracted to something.
On those occasions, morals would be the least of their concerns. Naturally, Andonara was too strong to fear them.
But wouldn’t it be better if it never happened in the first place?
With that in mind, Roland had asked Andonara to unsheathe the Hero’s Sword less often. The weapon was usually kept at her uncle Cage’s place.
Cage wouldn’t use the Hero’s Sword until it was really necessary.
Therefore, when Wright asked about such a weapon, Roland merely opened his hands. “I’m not sure. I can make magic swords, but they aren’t hard enough to pierce the golem’s body.”
“Then what do we do?” asked another chairman, frowning. They had hired Roland with a fortune not just for his analysis.
“I don’t know all the details yet, so I’ll have to fight it first,” said Roland. “I’ll confront it tomorrow, and you’ll organize other players to follow me. If they can help me, let them, but if they can’t, just run off. After all, each death means a tremendous loss of EXP.”
That was all they could do for now.
The guild chairmen didn’t think that Roland’s plan was good, but they couldn’t come up with a better plan.
The next morning, several thousand players, divided into four squares, emerged before Tebesia again. “They’re here again. What a bunch of obnoxious troublemakers,” said Greene on the city wall unhappily. “They’re trying to keep the intelligent golem in a powerless state, so that it can’t carry out its full strength.”
“In any case, let’s stick to the plan,” said Pylos.
The other two Legend elders nodded too.
Outside of the city gate, Roland stared at the enormous intelligent golem ahead.
Because it was quickly absorbing the energy in the air, the air within a ten-meter radius had twisted.
Seeing all the squares, the intelligent golem stopped charging and waited for them to come closer.
Once they were closer, it would be able to perform a Leap Slash.
When it fell from the sky, its weight would be transformed into momentum by gravity. Such a pure physical impact could break most magic shields. Even those at the edge of the Leap Slash might be gravely wounded when they were hit by the airwaves.
However, the four squares stopped thirty meters away from its leap range
Having fought two battles against the intelligent golem, the players had already roughly deduced the range of its Leap Slash.
Had they lost their courage?
The soul inside the intelligent golem was more or less confused.
He was wondering if he should charge forward and attack after the enemy was within the range of his Leap Slash, when a man stood out.
“Is he a Mage?” The intelligent golem was rather confused.
The golem’s body was highly resistant to magic, and the soul in it, as a Mage himself, had a great understanding about magic.
Even a Legendary Mage was nothing to him at this moment, not to mention a much lesser one.
While he was confused, this Mage turned into a statue with a bright blue brick in his hand.
The moment he saw the brick, the intelligent golem felt a strong desire. Although it was jumbled up by various sorts of magic materials, it was already a living creature thanks to the amazing magic.
A living creature was not necessarily made of flesh and blood or based on carbon.
It could be based on silicon or other substances.
For the intelligent golem, magic power was food.
This brick, on the other hand, was the most delicious cuisine, containing great energy.
It was almost like a starving man noticing a huge candy.
It wanted to lunge forward and grab the candy.
Fortunately, there was a human soul inside the intelligent golem, which controlled the instincts of the golem.
Roland, who had already turned into a stone statue, was going to stuff the brick into his elemental body when he suddenly sensed immense magic waves from the golem on the opposite side.
