Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 540: A Different Golem (4200 words)
A colossus, also known as a golem, is a being brought to life using magic.

It cannot think, but it has great strength, can endure great pain, is very patient, does not need food or water, and obeys the orders of its creator without question, making it an ideal servant or guard.

Once provoked into battle, they will never stop fighting until they kill their opponent or are torn to pieces themselves.

It sounds like golems are similar to gargoyles and constructed stone statues.

All use magic to animate dead objects, all obey the orders of their creators and users, and none of them achieve their goals, and they will never stop or give up.

But in fact, there is an essential difference between the two.

For most constructed creatures, such as gargoyles and constructed stone statues, no matter what the raw materials are, no matter how precious and exquisite the materials and structures are, the most important step is activation magic.

While animation magic sounds like it gives life to inanimate objects, it actually only enables these objects to move and complete some simple commands, without their own thoughts.

This is the limit of animation magic, it is impossible to truly give life to inanimate objects.

But golems are different. They don't rely on activation magic to act. To some extent, they really have souls.

In order to rescue Heng Gedimidis, Arlin made a lot of preparations and found out a lot of information and secrets about the wizards of the Ben Ader and Lisberg Civil Partnership.

As one of the most powerful means of warlocks, the golem is of course within the scope of Ailin's exploration.

But the interesting thing is...

Although golems are the most powerful weapon of warlocks, the first golem was not created by a powerful human wizard or elven sage, but by an ordinary dwarf from Maribor, a Temeria kingdom, a brickmaker named Bonavantilla Sesto.

This fateful moment occurred more than forty years ago, when the persecution of non-humans in Maribor was at its peak.

Elves and dwarves were accused of bringing infectious diseases into the city.

It was later discovered that the culprit was a human male named Matteo, who worked as a handyman at the Golden Goose Inn.

It is said that Matteo is responsible for serving meals and cleaning toilets, and he only washes his hands once a month, and not thoroughly.

The persecution of nonhumans initially involved looting of stores, arson, and occasional beatings, but the violence escalated and soon turned into a brutal massacre.

The city guards didn't care, and the humans murdered more than three hundred dwarves and elves in three days and three nights, including Bonaventura Sesto's entire family.

After learning the news, Bonaventura was furious and wanted revenge.

So he made a ten-foot-tall humanoid statue out of clay and carved the names of the non-humans he had killed into it, adding some dwarven curses.

When he was done, he slit his own throat.

His blood spurts onto the giant statue, which comes to life and begins walking around the city and killing people.

The statue created by Bonaventura destroyed half of the city and killed nearly five hundred humans, including the mayor and the entire city council.

After the entire city was flooded with blood, the urban guerrilla soldiers defeated it with siege catapults.

During the Senate's final investigation, it was discovered that Bonaventura actually possessed a hidden magical talent.

Although he had no training, the powerful emotions he felt at the time of his death triggered a dormant power within him and created a new ritual - the creation of a golem.

therefore.

The activation process of the first golem core is actually the result of the interweaving of multiple elements: curse, death, sacrifice, anger, and murderous intent.

The only similarity between the spells for animating gargoyles and construct statues is in name.

After learning the news, the Risberg Civil Partnership in western Temeria bought the entire ritual process and studied it.

Although Ailin did not know the specific process of how to optimize the ritual so that the creation of golems no longer required the sacrifice of intelligent life.

But the core of the golem is still completely different from all other construct creatures.

Then the problem is coming...

How powerful would a golem be if it had as its core a special part that was suspected to be the Gate of Ade Ges, which triggered a strong call from fate?
"Damn it!"

In the blink of an eye, Ailin recalled the information about the golem in his mind, and felt a chill all over his body: "Where did Thomas Moreau find such a powerful golem core?"

Yes, he was sure of it the moment he saw the environment inside the cave clearly.

A cave with no exit, a seemingly deserted environment, a golem...

You can’t go wrong!
This is where Thomas Moreau imprisoned his son.

"boom!"

There was a deafening explosion in the cave out of nowhere.

A pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened on the gray-white mountain that was three people tall, and met Ailin's gaze.

In an instant, the already fierce and oppressive pressure suddenly intensified, as if a mountain fell from the sky and smashed down.

The strong sense of crisis made his hair stand on end, and his heart, which was invigorated by the three potions, skipped a beat instantly.

"Intruder! Die!"

The terrifying and crazy roar tore through the cave, causing the dim stone walls to shake, and the sound rose and fell, trembling constantly.

The stone mountain, which was three people tall, rose up slowly and unstoppably.

It is gray all over, has a very small head, and its left and right sides are extremely disproportionate.

The left hand was a slightly short claw, and the right hand was like a spherical hammer head that was three or four times the size. The right arm was also roughly bulged, directly attached to the chest, and the shoulders even towered above the head.

The visual effect is extremely exaggerated.

After standing up, its already magnificent physique reached the top of the cave. Its huge gray and white body almost covered the entire cave, completely blocking Alin and Ada Emin.

When the two looked straight ahead, they could only see the golem's calves.

The oppressive feeling that is unique to giants arises spontaneously, making it difficult to breathe.

The huge shadow directly enveloped Alin and Ada Emin at the entrance of the cave.

"I've never heard of such a huge golem!"

“This shouldn’t be the case!”

"What kind of core can support such a huge physique?!"

Ada Emin opened her thin lips slightly, her tone was incomprehensible.

“Now is not the time to think about this…” Ailin shouted, “Instead of exploring how this golem came into being, we should think about how to deal with this monster. Then we will have plenty of time to explore.”

The strong sense of oppression brought by the huge stone statue made him no longer intend to hide anything.

"This is where Thomas Moreau imprisoned his son. When you were torturing the laboratory, did you remember how to stop the golem?"

"No," Ada Emin answered simply, and quickly said in Aylin's mind, "It was only after I read the record crystal that I found out that Thomas Moreau had another child."

The pressure around the golem increased exponentially, and the air seemed to be distorted by it.

This made Ada Emin speak faster.

"Stop talking about this!"

"Although golems are quite different from other constructs, they also have weaknesses that can cause them to become activated. The weakness of golems is usually in the heart of the obsidian."

"Although I don't know if this golem is still the heart of obsidian, it will also have a core..."

"Alin, can you find it with your ability?"

"Okay!" Ailin raised his head and pointed directly at the golem's thickest heart, where the guidance of destiny disappeared.

The core of the heavy pressure in the entire cave was clearly revealed the moment the golem opened its eyes and stood up.

He didn't even need to activate the wolf emblem to sense it.

From Wolf Emblem's perspective, it looked like a sun was burning in the golem's chest, scorching and dazzling.

The creators never intended to hide it.

But the question is, how to break through the thick and solid shell and attack the core?

Aida Emin was silent for a second, and as the golem's roar shook the earth, she quickly summoned a white jade staff.

It was the first time that Aelin saw her staff.

The entire staff is as white as snow and as slender as a willow branch. The top of the staff is inlaid with a crystal clear magic gem, but it is not known whether it is a diamond.

The staff was summoned, and Ada Emin silently recited a few spells, and her face suddenly became ugly.

"The space here is blocked and the portal is prohibited."

An experienced warlock would always find a way out before a battle, but unfortunately the way out had been taken away. As expected... Ailin took a deep breath.

In the game, the portal leading to here from Heshan will only open at midnight, but there is still a risk of people entering by mistake. Thomas Moreau cannot be so careless.

But in this case, they would have to deal with the golem and then find a way out.

same.

The pressure in the air was still increasing rapidly, which meant that the golem's strength was actually increasing with every passing second.

This also prevented them from retreating directly, and they took advantage of the golem's huge size to hide behind narrow passages.

Moreover, for almost all construct creatures, burrowing and digging are instincts imprinted in their core.

The terrain is totally unfeasible.

With their strength increasing rapidly and nowhere to hide, Aelin and Ada Emin could only think of ways to quickly resolve the battle.

but……

How to break the solid rock shell that is at least five meters thick from the core?

Ailin felt a little scalp tingling.

At this time.

He suddenly noticed that the yellow ground in front of him had turned darker in color.

The moment I realized this, my senses suddenly gave me a sharp warning, like a needle piercing my chest.

Ailin hugged Ada Emin's slender waist and stepped back hard, leaving a small hole in the hard ground.

"Boom!"

A domineering black shadow fell from the sky and hit the stone wall at the entrance of the cave directly.

The stone wall shattered into three large stones the size of a human head, and countless pieces of gravel shot out and scattered on the ground with a deafening sound.

After smashing the stone wall, the black shadow hit the ground without stopping.

"boom!"

A shock wave of distorted air was generated at the junction of the two, and in an instant it blew away Ailin, who was hugging the elven sorceress, and dust and smoke rose at the same time.

"You find a chance to penetrate the core, and I'll deal with him!"

In mid-air, Ailin shouted and pushed Aida Emin away from the golem.

No matter how powerful a warlock is, he cannot exert his full combat power when he is close to a golem.

Only melee professions can serve as a meat shield that attracts hatred, and it must be taken up by Ailin.

"Be careful!" Aida Emin did not refuse, but reminded him calmly in his mind, "I have a spell that takes five minutes to chant, which can penetrate the golem's defense."

"I see." Ailin replied in his mind.

"And..." She paused, "Come back if it's too dangerous. Besides the portal, there are other ways to leave."

Ailin didn't know what method Ada Emin was talking about, but it was definitely not safe.

Otherwise, in such a critical situation, she didn't need the fragments of the Gate of Ard Ghaith. Even if Ailin wanted to stay, she would cast a spell to knock him out and evacuate here first before doing anything else.

Regardless of whether she could see it or not, Ailin nodded.

follow closely.

"Qiang!"

The long sword is unsheathed.

A cold light flashed in the hazy smoke and dust created by the golem.

He pulled out the Balmer.

"Om~"

After Balmer unsheathed the sword, he couldn't stop shaking.

It is excited, excited to encounter a strong enemy.

There is hope!

Ailin gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

What he feared most was the situation when the evil god descended.

Even though the Demon Summoning Ritual was so powerful, Balmer was still indifferent. As he lacked the corresponding sword oil, he could only slowly repair his feet and remove his eyeballs to accumulate progress.

But now that Balmer is excited, this battle...

Steady!

"Invaders! Die! Die! Die!"

The golem roared in anger and raised its gray fist as heavy as a mountain from the deep stone pit.

Ailin was blown away and fell from mid-air. As soon as his right foot touched the ground, he suddenly stepped on the ground and bounced up. While the golem's fist was still too high from the ground, he landed directly on the golem's smooth wrist.

Then, when he felt the slippery soles of his feet and it was difficult to exert force, he activated the Demon Hunting skill and put on the boots and gauntlets of the Wild Hunt Conquest Armor.

[Name: Wild Hunt's Conquest Armor]

【Function:
……

3. Gauntlets·Iron Grip: Enhanced strength, immunity to disarmament.

……

6. Boots·Flat: Immune to the negative effects of most terrains such as swamps, silt land, snowfields, etc.

...]

Both feet are firmly placed on the wrists, as if they were stepping on the flat ground.

The strength in his hands seemed to have doubled.

"Whoo~"

There was the sound of wind in my ears.

Without thinking, Ailin activated the blizzard, stopping time at that moment, and saw clearly a huge gray claw that blocked out the sky.

He crouched, leaped high, and landed towards the golem's right hammer, no longer suppressing the adrenaline in his body that was stirring because of the Giant Ghoul decoction and the Maripo Forest potion.

The blood that was pumping endlessly by the heart quickly became boiling and hot.

The force that made him explode exploded.

"Boom!"

Scratching his scalp, a stone claw grabbed his wrist.

In a flash, Ailin was in mid-air, tearing his muscles out of thin air, spinning around and swinging his sword.

"call out--"

The blade of the steel sword cut through the air, making a sonic boom, and turbulent airflow entangled the sword blade.

As the long sword rubbed against the air, the blade actually emitted a faint red glow, like an iron that was burned red by a blazing flame.

Before he could fully unleash the Spinning Slash, he had already reached the strength of the Wolf School's Demon Hunter Master Aristo's unique skill of Three Steps and Three Spins.

And it's not over yet.

The sword continued to become red hot, and the moment it approached the stone claw, the entire sword began to burn.

then……

"hiss--"

The long sword chopped on the stone claw and penetrated into it, like a branding iron melting ice, making a sharp snake hissing sound.

The stone claw, which was about the size of a small house, was actually cut into two by a "toothpick".

But at this moment, Ailin, who had clearly achieved an amazing victory and landed lightly on the golem's right hammer, suddenly changed his expression.
