351 Chapter 351 Living Statues

Aldred, Dobbs, and Stella were sitting inside a dimly lit, windowless room. They were watching Stella’s mirror which showed the scene in the world of ice where the four Ultra Golems stood still in front of the cave’s entrance.

“Aldred, you said we’re going to run a test first.”

“This is the test.”

“You do realize that those four golems cost almost all of your savings, right?”

Aldred slightly winced when he heard that. Because Aldred believed in the golem so much, he decided to build 4 of them. That put a strain on his budget, but he was not worried too much about it. “Don’t worry. I just annexed a few counties in the lizardmen territory. We will get our money back.”

“Thankfully you don’t have to tap into the company’s savings.”.𝒎

Aldred bitterly smiled. “Tarrar will be very upset about that. He’s not very happy about spending money, but he loves it when the numbers on the paper increase.”

“Okay, enough about Tarrar. Tell the golem to enter the cave.”

“Not before they send in the scout golem first.”

After that statement, the four golems threw in a bunch of tiny, flying golems inside the cave. Entering it, the fly-shaped golems looked for any danger or precious materials.𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Stella summoned a bunch of more mirrors and they connected to the fly’s eyes.

After they got in deeper, they suddenly disappeared, and the mirrors turned blank.

“What happened to them?” Dobbs asked.

“The cave has a powerful aura, possibly because a lot of powerful creatures live in it, or they have fought and killed each other in this cave. This aura makes it impossible for weak beings to enter.”

“But those fly golems are not even beings.”

“It’s possible that the aura has a property that could crush any weak objects that enter it. If you bring an ordinary sword inside, it will either snap or turn into hot liquid. The blood inside your body will boil, and your eyes will bulge before they burst.”

Aldred rubbed his chin. “So basically, the aura increases the pressure inside the cave.”

“It’s a lot more complicated than that. If you’re a mage, your mana might be drained dry. Whatever was inside that cave, it created a chaotic aura with unpredictable side effects.”

Dobbs took a sip of his water to clear his mind. “We’re lucky to have Stella to explain stuff to us.”

Since they couldn’t send more scout golems inside, Aldred decided to send the golem army to enter. Leading the way were the four Ultra Golems followed by a bunch of gunner golems and fighter golems.

It was dark inside. The gunner golem lit up some fire to illuminate the way.

Mucus dripped from the ceiling, sizzling as it vaporized the dirt. Any sentient race with a brain would retreat immediately, but the golems kept going.

They kept going for several kilometers. Dobbs couldn’t help but yawn a couple of times.

But a few minutes later, the golems arrived at a square. The square was covered in mucus and a stain of red and green blood.

“Someone has visited this place before,” Stella said.

Aldred frowned. “Let’s hope that someone didn’t take anything valuable.”

“Look, there are two statues in the middle of the square.”

Standing in the middle of the square were two humanoid silver statues with engravings all over their body. These statues were quite tall and intricately made, but something was weird.

The statues looked like a human with a small difference. On the back of their heads was a spine-looking thing that connected to their upper back.

“These statues are not made with the images of humans in mind.” Stella narrowed her eyes.

Electricity ran through the spine-looking thing on the back of the statues’ heads, and suddenly their eyes glowed blue.

“Those statues are alive!”

The two statues stepped forward, raised their hands, and clenched their fists.

Dozens of golems were suddenly destroyed.

“They have telekinetic power! Quick, attack them!” Aldred ordered.

The gunner golems started firing only for the bullets to be blocked by a transparent hemisphere barrier. The bullets were still in place before the statues slightly moved their hands and sent all the bullets back with greater force, blasting the golems with holes.

The fighter golems charged forward with their blades. Feet stomping the ground, indicating their weight and power. But before they could reach the two living statues, they all stopped in place and their body shattered like glass.

All the golems were annihilated except for the four Ultra Golems standing still at the back. Aldred wanted to keep them as his hidden card, but he got no choice now that the other golems were destroyed.

“Ultra Golems, destroy those statues.”

After the order was given, two Ultra Golems lifted their arms and they morphed into a cannon.

Aldred called the weapon Vanquisher. Because he came from a modern world, he thought it would be cool for the golem to have a gun-like weapon that can fire bullets made out of mana.

With Dobbs Divine Craftsman, the golem could send 12,000 mana bullets per minute. The bullets that came out of their arms were made from pure mana energy and were further enhanced, so they were more powerful than Aldred’s fire bullets.

When the mana bullets were blocked by the statues, they exploded which forced the statues to take three steps back.

Two other Ultra Golems charged at them at high speed.

One of them reached one of the statues and swung its Spellsword at the neck. The statue reacted quickly, raising its hand, and made the golem struggle to move. The surface of the golem started to crack until a suction force siphoned all the energy nearby, deactivating the telekinesis ability for a mere moment.

But that moment was crucial for the Spellsword to plunge deep into the statue’s neck, penetrating it, and cut off the spine-looking object that connected the back of the head and the upper back.

The golem pushed the dead statue to the side and rushed at the other statue which was currently preventing an Ultra Golem from moving.

The golem raised its left arm, turning into a Vanquisher, but the statue turned around and slapped it to the side before it could shoot.

The golem reacted quickly and slashed only for its hand to be blocked in mid-air by a telekinetic power.

Two Ultra Golems were unable to move, and their surface armor began cracking as if a giant invisible hand was holding them as tight as possible.

The other two Ultra Golems from the distance began charging their Vanquisher for two seconds before they fired.

Two blue beams went straight at the 2,5-meter tall statue and exploded, creating a smokescreen of dust.

After the dust disappeared, the statue appeared to be fine because it blocked the attack with the hemisphere energy shield.

But now it was four against one, and it wouldn’t be long before the golem took it out.

The statue clasped its hand, sending out an explosive force field that pushed the Ultra Golems twenty steps back. It then punched the ground, cracking the ground, and all the rocks floated as they glowed blue.

Electricity sparked on the rocks with the statue at the center as it glared at the golems.
