471 Titan Part 1 (1/2)

Lex went into the magic chariot before Saleen asked, ”What happened?”

Lex shook her head, she did not want to make wild guesses and only said, ”The mages from Titan Duchy used some hidden powers underneath the magic tower to power the grade-7 magic array. I'm afraid even they were unsure of the powers they had borrowed. When the elemental storm has subsided, we will go in and see.”

As Lex said that, a swordsman from Titan said in a wavering voice from outside the chariot, ”Viscountess, come out and take a look!”

At this moment, Bifano was interacting with one of his swordsman from afar. The walls of the castle were still intact, but the building inside the castle was destroyed. He was considering getting someone stationed there. Inside the castle, an intense noise suddenly sounded.

At the center of the elemental storm, in the dusts from the destroyed magic building, a giant hand had extended out. It pushed away the debris. It was made entirely of a silver metal, but was not reflective. It was covered with unusual patterns.

What followed was another similar hand. These two hands were over two meters long and according to normal ratio, the owner of these hands had to be over twenty-five meters tall.

What came next was a head, it was also made of metal, but if it was not too big and was not made of metal. One would definitely suspect it was a young giant.

This unusual metal puppet quickly emerged from under the ground, looking down around him. He seemed a little dazed. He soon found something to do.

Wherever the elemental storm had passed by, besides metal, all else was crushed. Even most of the metals had melted and cooled, forming different shapes. This giant metal puppet used its meter-long fingers to poke around in the debris for a while and found a solidified piece of metal. He then threw it into his mouth.

After swallowing a few pieces of metal, he still was not done. When he stood up, he was over thirty meters tall. He started to move and walked towards the edge of the castle. As he was so heavy, the ground started shaking with him.

There were soldiers left behind by Bifano at the city walls and when they saw this, they were shocked again. Lex heard the vibrations within the castle too and she let the two female mages stay in the chariot as she took a look at Sika. Saleen nodded before Sika left the magic chariot with Lex.

The outside of the castle already had a ladder on it to get to the top of the castle walls for observation. Lex did not fly as her flying skill used up magic chords too. She brought Sika up the city walls and took out an alchemy telescope, looking into the castle.

When the giant puppet's feet hit the ground, its movements were still a little jarring. The more metal it swallowed, the faster and smoother it moved. On the face of the puppet at the center of its forehead was a gap, like an eye that was wide open.

Lex looked at the metal puppet from her alchemy telescope, she was shocked. Even though the fully constructed puppets that she and Saleen had were showing signs of life, this thing was at a whole other grade. Could this puppet be the legendary Metal Titan?

The Metal Titan came from a mysterious dimension. All the living creatures there were formed from metal and they swallowed metals to grow bigger until their bodies were unable to maintain their own weight.

Humans used to capture such creatures to help them in combat and the Metal Titan was the most famous. As it grew incredibly quickly, it only took a year for a young Metal Titan to grow over one-hundred meters tall. Such life was easy to control too and it would not live over a decade, there was not any chance of betrayal.

The Metal Titan's attacking powers were similar to that of a grade-8 creature, its defensive powers were greater than grade-9, this was the hardest part. A free Metal Titan was not impossible to capture, but one needed the powers of the ancient humans.

If what was in front of her was that, Lex had no choice but to give up everything in the castle. This was because unlike other creatures, once a Metal Titan was born, its defensive powers were that of a grade-9 creature. It was said that some Metal Titans could even release magic, that made it even more horrifying.

The design of the war puppets from the Qin Empire took inspiration from the Metal Titan. Such huge bodies could not be stopped by any castle walls.

”Lex, what is that?” Sika looked afar, she could see clearly from even a mile away.

”We can't beat that thing.” Lex was a little depressed. Under the castle was another hidden underground castle and now that the Metal Titan had come out from under the ground, there must be nothing left. The alchemy mold must have been eaten by it.

Sika believed Lex's judgement, the weird puppet was looking in their direction. All three of its eyes were shining with a silver-white light. Sika could even feel what these three eyes were signifying.

This creature was hungry.

Lex grabbed Sika's hand without hesitation and released a soaring spell. It was tough for her to fly with Sika along, but she managed. She jumped down from the castle wall and glided beside the magic chariot.

”Bifano, bring everyone, I do not want the things from the castle anymore, let's run.” Lex did not give any further explanation as she got into the chariot and hurried Saleen. Saleen was incredibly quick as he released a skeleton war horse from the green spirit and kept the fully constructed puppet. It dragged the magic chariot away, not giving Bifano any time to question them.

Bifano's casualties had not been settled and after hearing Lex's words, he wanted to ask what had happened. Upon seeing Lex's magic chariot bolting down the road, he immediately shouted and commanded all the soldiers to get onto their war horses and run behind the magic chariot.
