Chapter 184 One After Another (1/2)
The metal claw rushed over, followed by the whistling wind.
Rhode dodged to the side and escaped from the golem's attack. He swung his sword toward the opponent's head. Although chopping off its head wouldn't deal a fatal blow, it was still the golem's control centre. The Gargoyle's Heart provided the energy for driving the gear while the magic runes on its head could be used to adjust this force. If he could attack this part, the golem body would move like sports car with broken brakes; in other words, it would be completely finished.
Rhode's counterattack was fast, but he still didn't succeed.
When Rhode's sword made contact, the golem suddenly shrugged and transformed back into a brass ball. It rolled to the side at the same time and escaped from Rhode's attack. However, Rhode's sword didn't stop there. To the contrary, he took the advantage of the empty space to shift his position, escaping from another golem's attack. At the same time, he lowered his sword and heavily knocked the brass ball's outer shell.
Clang!!!
Anne retreated back. Her eyes widened and she looked at the two golems before her in disbelief.
Maybe because the guardian golem's body looked fragile, unlike Rhode, Anne didn't choose to dodge when she was attacked. She thought that the golem wouldn't be too powerful, and as a shield warrior, it was also difficult for her to dodge here and there like a swordsman…
That was why when she saw the two golems rush toward her, her first reaction was to lift her shield. Anne simply thought that if she could block their attack, it wouldn't be difficult for her to finish them off using the shield.
However, when the two golems heavily collided with the shield, Anne realized that things were completely different from what she had thought.
The Rock Heart on her shield was instantly activated due to the huge force. A layer of stone-like barrier stretched over Anne's body in a blink of an eye, forming a solid shield. Anne could be considered as an experienced warrior. After she noticed these changes, she immediately retreated and escaped from the powerful force. Not only that, Anne bit her lips, trying to supress the numbness from the impact of the shield…
But that was just an accident.
Anne soon made a counterattack.
She shouted, then grabbed the shield with both hands and pushed forward. The reason that Anne retreated before was because she had underestimated the golem's strength so she was unable to push back. If she was serious, even the two golems' combined strength wouldn't be a match for her. They were quickly pushed away, and Anne took advantage of the situation and turned the shield vertically from side to side. With strong surge, it directly hit the opponent.
If they were human, seeing Anne's aggressive attack, they would have long been scared and clueless. Unfortunately, Anne's opponents weren't humans, but two golems.
Facing Anne's attack, the two golems didn't push their way forward. Instead, they shrugged their body and transformed back into a brass ball, quickly rolling back. Anne didn't expect that they would transform, so her attack direction was a little bit too high. The strong surging power only passed by and didn't hit the golems. But at this moment, the two brass balls that were rolling back suddenly jumped up and bounced back off the corner wall. They passed through the air, rushing toward Anne. Not only that, the two balls were blooming in the air like flowers. They unfolded their hard, metal limbs, and the sharp metal blades in their hands looked extremely menacing.
Bad!
Seeing this scene, Anne was surprised. She didn't expect that these seemingly weak things were so flexible and so difficult to deal with. Now her center of gravity had completely deviated, and she simply couldn't turn around quickly. Although Anne's strength was very powerful, she still couldn't defy the laws of physics. Fortunately, Anne was currently covered with a thick layer of stone armor. At least it would ensure that she wouldn't be seriously injured.
Anne intended to close her eyes to withstand the attack when suddenly a figure stood before her and blocked the attack. The sword danced around like a whirlwind in the air, rushing toward the guardian golems.
