6 Trial 2 (2/2)

Eventually there was no point in thinking anymore as Christian already struck the golem ”Take my enhanced sword”

The blade was a normal long-sword made out of iron with runes written with black ink on the blade. Supposedly the runes increased the strength of the blade and would have the capability of cutting through metal given enough effort.

It would have a gray aura to show the effectiveness but for some reason there was no aura. It just seemed like a child drew on the sword without the threatening aura so Dean felt something was off.

He felt a little amazed that Christian's family would be giving him a Space Ring since Dean never saw Christian bring a sword when he entered the cave.

A Space Ring had the capability of storing items inside a separate space. They were very rare and expensive since it needed a blacksmith to take a piece of space and refine it into a ring.

There were other alternatives such as rare materials that could substitute the piece of space and a lower blacksmith would be able to have the ability to refine it.

Taking a closer look he noticed the scratches on the ring that had a shiny gloss beneath the surface.

'I never knew he masked the ring so well. Why didn't he tell us earlier?'

Going back to the golem there was a slight chip on his neck. Nothing else was harmed and a small rock on the floor was evidence of the small chip.

Christian was a little shock as he muttered ”I-impossible.”

Dean was also confused as theoretically Christian's sword would have more than enough power to slice through rocks but it only chipped it!

The golem responded to this provocation ”The challenge shall now begin”

The golem smashed the area where Christian hit him and a loud bang was heard

*BAM*

The floor would've been completely destroyed but it was still intact with only a few small marks on the ground.

The strength that was shown off was estimated to be at least the peak of Qi Condensation 9. Possibly even a Foundation Establishment.

This estimation was not only made by Dean but the whole group.

Christian felt a tinge of regret but couldn't help have an involuntary rage against Ivan due to the shame. Ivan did the same and flared up but the distance between them helped make him cool off his hot head.

Dean still couldn't make any sense of how Christian's sword can just suddenly stop working so he felt confused.

Taking a deep breath he knew he had to be weary with attacking and defending this golem. His family only gave him a few blades for self defense and compared to the rest this was already better.

Excluding Christian the rest had 1-2 blades with varying length and width while Dean had 3 small blades and 2 sabers.

His elder kept on telling him that safety is number one priority so he forced him to carry all of this.

Christian trying to keep some face attacked the golem once more in the same spot however it just made a larger chip.

The golem noticed this and sent a small jab towards him.

Blocking with his sword Christian still felt the brunt of the force.

The sword accidentally cut his nose making a small blood flow dribbling down his face. It felt similar to a bloody nose with the middle of the nose having a tingly feeling.

The rest were frightened by the substantial force of the golem and felt restless. Dean didn't even notice the worry in Rose's eyes.

Seeing an injured person the situation escalated. Trying to help the situation Ayesha yelled ”A golem's weakness is its core. The core is commonly located where a human heart would be.”

Hearing this the golem chuckled ”What a bright child. I hope you survive”

No one realized the voice belonged to Ayesha due to the chaotic situation but those words helped them wake up from their stupor.

Morale was the common factor of a strong group and using that as a starting point Ivan worked with it ”This is our chance, this is our moment. We can beat him. If everyone works together we can do it.”

Christian glanced at him before turning to the golem and whispering

”What do you mean by 'this is OUR chance'. The naivety”
