Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 85 The Wizard Doesn’t Want to Work
The memory inheritance of the Volume Dragon is as vast as smoke. Nemesis spent a lot of effort to find the information of the [Shadow Steel Golem].

It was one of the most terrifying killing machines on the battlefield.

The monster is seven meters tall and is made of a rough black metal called [Shadow Steel]. The Necromancers have carved [Anti-Magic Stance] on the surface of the Shadow Steel, making the golem immune to all magical attacks.

They can hide in the shadows and emit terrible negative energy shock waves to the surroundings at any time and anywhere. These dark energies will absorb the life energy of all living things, kill them, and then heal the undead creatures around the strengthened shadow steel.

Golems are war magic items of the highest craftsmanship crafted by mages. They bind captured elemental spirits into materials to give golems endless power.

There are three factors that affect the power of the golem: the first is the elemental spirit that serves as the core of power. The more powerful the elemental spirit, the more powerful power it can provide to the golem. The size of the golem and the magic runes it carries are determined by this.

The second is the material that makes up the body. The materials used to make a golem can be simply divided into five categories, from weak to strong: bones - clay - flesh - steel - magic ore. The stronger the material, the stronger the physical defense of the golem, and it will also gain some special spell-like abilities.

The third is the most important thing about the golem, the runes carved by the wizard for it.

[Anti-magic Stance] is the standard feature of the golem. Any golem will be engraved with this rune to ensure that the golem will not be affected by magic. Otherwise, it would be heartbreaking to see the golem that was painstakingly made turned into ashes by a [Disintegration Spell].

In addition, the mage can also carve various runes on the golem to add offensive or defensive capabilities to it. For example, the negative energy shock wave of the [Shadowsteel Golem] is the effect of the rune, and escaping into the shadows is the spell-like ability of the magical ore [Shadowsteel].

Runes are not carved randomly. The quality of elemental essence is the key to determining what kind of runes and how many runes the mage carves. If there is a strong enough elemental essence as a power, the mage can even make a legendary golem that is dozens of meters tall and has a large number of magical abilities!

Such a powerful machine is naturally extremely expensive. Just the basic configuration of [Anti-Magic Stand] requires a six-ring protector to enchant it, because [Anti-Magic Stand] is a genuine six-ring spell!

Apart from violently dismantling the golems, Nemesis could not think of any other means to defeat them. However, with five golems and a large number of undead creatures guarding them, Nemesis felt that this was an impossible task.

In his opinion, among all the people present, only General Cologne has the ability to easily dismantle the golem. After all, it is not difficult for a level 14 [Battlefield Shaper] to deal with the Shadowsteel Golem.

Nemesis' answer completely disappointed the young officer. His eyes were bloodshot, and he felt his heart bleeding when he thought of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to advance the front line.

"If we want to withdraw, where should we set up the defense line?" the young officer asked hoarsely.

Cologne coughed and replied, "Let me tell you about this. I have received reliable information that the old green dragon in the Earth Spur Mountains has completely left here."

"The canyon of the Tuma Spur Mountains is the shortest way to Cesk. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so I decided to build a military fortress there."

"Before, due to the green dragon, we had to ignore the monsters in the mountains. Now that the green dragon has disappeared, in order to ensure the stability behind the fortress, I need the army to eliminate those monsters."

He turned to Nemesis and asked, "Sir Nemesis, I hope you can participate in the construction of the military fortress as an advisor. As for you, Lorga."

Colon ordered the depressed young officer, "You will lead this team."

The young officer was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and said loudly: "Yes, General!"

Nemesis shrugged. He didn't think the task was difficult. Not to mention that the green dragon was gone, even if it was there, he had the confidence to compete with her. An outing in exchange for military merit was a very good job.

"As you wish, General Cologne." said Juan Celong.

After finishing the discussion and leaving the Military Intelligence Department, Nemesis returned to the office to discuss the next steps with his two dependents.

Colette and Losrien told Nemesis in detail what had happened over the past year.

"In the past year or so, the royal family has issued a death order to eliminate and crack down on cult forces across the country. Almost every city has been turned upside down."

"But we still haven't found the mentor of the red-robed wizard, the 12th-level sorcerer."

Nemesis shook his head and said, "The manipulator's mobility is almost impossible to catch. As long as he wants, he can teleport several kilometers away at any time."

"That's right," Loslien said, "and the sorcerer seems to be protected by a prophecy spell. The royal prophet can't locate him at all."

Nemesis pondered and said, "You stay in Degen City and monitor the sewers, underground, and various places in the city where filth can hide at all times. The sacrificial ceremony requires a large amount of blood sacrifice. From now on, collect statistics for all citizens in Degen City. If there is a case of unexplained disappearance, investigate immediately."

"I don't care about other cities, but Degen City cannot go through another Abyss Sacrifice Ritual."

As the three were chatting, there was a knock on the door, and the young officer named Loga walked in. He had the same black hair as General Cologne, and eyes like emeralds.

Lorga leaned against the door and stretched his chin towards Nemesis: "It's time to go, Mr. Advisor."

Nemesis and Colette looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Then I will leave first, Your Excellency."

The two walked out of the castle and came to the team that was responsible for eliminating the monsters. This was a team of three hundred soldiers. After defeating the monsters, two thousand workers would join in the construction of the fortress.

When the soldiers left the city, many citizens lined the streets to see them off, because they knew that these spirited soldiers were going to the most dangerous places to carry out their missions.

Roga rode on a white horse, his armor shining brightly, and his handsome face under his long black hair made the young female citizens who were seeing him off on the surrounding streets particularly excited.

Nemesis rode silently on the summoned phantom horse, shrouded in a black wizard robe. The chattering of humans around him gave him a headache.

Signa, who was also riding a horse beside him, also looked impatient. She was wearing armor, showing off her hot body and beautiful face. There were always some men beside her who boldly reached out to touch her legs that were clamped on the horse's belly. "Tsk!"

Segna let out a threatening roar and viciously wiped her neck in front of the crowd, quieting these crazy humans down.

Well, not only humans, but even the horse under her butt began to tremble. Segna hurriedly retracted the leaked dragon power to avoid the situation where the horse collapsed to the ground.

Nemesis glanced at her and quickened the pace of the phantom horse, which was really a loss of dragons.

The army's march was quite boring, so Nemesis took out a book on life-preserving magic and began to read.

It was almost evening before we walked out of the forest and arrived at the foot of the mountains.

The Tuma Spur Mountains are a huge mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles. In the center of it, a huge crack has opened up, forming the famous Tuma Spur Canyon.

It is said that this crack was caused by the battle between the hunting god Mara and the tracking god Guilun Liufeng when the "Falling Day" occurred hundreds of years ago.

Mara was pierced through the body by Gui Lun's power, and his divine blood was spilled in the Tuma Spur Mountains, causing various monsters to be born and go crazy over the years due to his inextinguishable evil magic power.

Such a place is a paradise for monsters and also a hatching ground for dragons looking for their followers.

A few steps after walking out of the forest, Loga raised his hand and signaled the army to stop. He looked around and seemed to be sniffing something.

"Something's wrong," he asked Nemesis. "Have you noticed anything?"

Nemesis didn't even put down the book in his hand. He just adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said perfunctorily, "More than a hundred gnoll tribes are ambushing you behind the huge rock in front."

Roga stared at him with an expression of "Are you kidding me?" and found that Nemesis had no intention of looking up at him, so he had no choice but to consider it as one of the possibilities.

Because he smelled rust in the air.

Roga walked forward, intending to test alone whether there were really jackals surrounding them. Segna, who was standing beside him, poked Nemesis and said, "Aren't you going to take some action?"

"I can smell the stench of the werewolves." Sgena said in disgust, fanning her nose.

Nemesis did not react to this, but continued reading. Without even looking up, he said, "Just go and solve it with them. I don't have time to waste on this."

Let Zhan Diao do the dirty work, the wizard doesn't want to dirty his hands.

Nemesis continued reading while thinking this. As he said, after Loga had taken a few steps, a large number of gnolls rushed out from the cave behind the boulder.

"Human flesh! Delicious human flesh!" They opened their smelly mouths with meat shreds stuffed between their teeth and rushed towards the soldiers excitedly.

Luo Jia looked back at a wizard who was still reading a book, snorted coldly, instantly jumped into the air, raised his sword and slashed at the leading werewolf.

The soldiers also drew their weapons and rushed towards the gnolls. Under the leadership of Lorga, they chopped down countless gnolls.

A gnoll crossed the line of defense, or rather, Lorgar deliberately released it, and ran excitedly towards the woman and child on horseback.

It has already anticipated that wonderful taste.

Nemesis sighed, put the book away, raised his hand and pointed at the werewolf, a few syllables popped out lightly, and three red laser beams shot out from his fingertips.

Second-level evocation spell - [Scorching Ray].

The rays cut through the werewolf's head and heart effortlessly like a hot knife through butter.

Nemesis withdrew his finger, very satisfied with the power of the spell. As his spellcasting level increased, the power of his low-level spells also increased step by step. Even though they were not as powerful as high-level spells, they were greatly improved compared to before.

He clapped his hands towards the gnolls who were fighting with the soldiers in the distance, and the power of his mind surged out like a terrible wave, devouring the minds of these gnolls.

The next moment, the soldiers were surprised to find that the jackals in front of them had completely lost the ability to resist and just stood there stupidly without moving. They took the opportunity to hack at the jackals, but found that they did not resist at all until they died.

Nemesis snapped his fingers again, and all the controlled gnolls immediately ended their lives in various cruel ways. The weird and terrifying scene shocked everyone.

Luo Da opened his mouth and looked back at the black-robed priest and wizard. He couldn't believe what he saw. It was so easy to control these creatures to kill him. What a terrifying power it was.

If Nemesis heard this, he would probably sneer. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to avoid hurting the soldiers by mistake, it would be more convenient for him to use magic to deal with these guys. God knows how painful it would be for his brain to control these creatures just now and then order them to commit suicide the next moment.

The young man shrouded in the shadow of the black robe took out the book again, but this time no one dared to underestimate him. That devil-like power was something that any intelligent creature would instinctively hate.

The soldiers returned to the formation. One of the young soldiers secretly glanced back at Nemesis on horseback, with a hint of fear and panic in his eyes.
