I, the great Mo Ke, never leave a na behind when I perform a good deed, thus our departures are always dashing and gallant.
In actuality, I tried to ask Nozala if he knew about the exact location of the palace of Sable Radiance, unfortunately, all I got was an I dont know. To be honest, all the different races in the Remnants of Sable Radiances were kind of like in the past, a shut-in. Unless sothing montous happened, they would basically never leave their territories. After all, there werent any rchants here nor was there any sort of common currency here either. With no flow of goods or trade, each race basically holed themselves up and kept a close watch on their own property. There wasnt any sort of tourism here eithershould one accidentally trespass on anothers territory, they would basically be treated as invaderswho knew what would happen then.
Speaking of invaders, there was sothing that had to be said about the Flagrass Sasani brought back. It wasnt, in fact, found by him, rather, it was stolen from Warwraith
Simply put, that Warwraith was scared off by so when planning his route, he made sure to avoid us entirely. He knew that we were heading north and that we would encounter that salamander for sure so he purposely took a route off our probable course.
Flagrass could be a considered a speciality of the Warhorses plains, you could call it a treasure of their race too. Thus, they were often guarded by a Wahorse. It was precisely such a Warhorse that got into a fight with Sinmosa when she was out searching for a Flagrass, and ended up wounding her.
Going back to Sasanis storyhe so happened to chance upon Warwraith while searching for Flagrass. Upon seeing the familiar Cerberus, the Warhorse elder imdiately paled and began shivering slightly, clearly frightened that we hadnt given up on seeking revenge upon him. However, once Sasani explained that he was here for so Flagrass, and not to cause trouble for him, that elder imdiately handed over said Flagrass without any hesitation whatsoeverseems like our little encounter really left an indelible mark on him
So you already knew that there would be a Warhorse guarding the Flagrass? Then why did you let Sasani go off on his won?
Either way, that old horse already had his bravery scared out of him so it should be fine even if Sasani went off on his own. Sinmosa confidently stated as if she had already foreseen that all these would happen.
Then how did you know that it would be that old horse guarding the Flagrass?
Because theres always a temporary camp set up near the Flagrass, thats how those horses operated. Its more likely that he would encounter Warwraith than not.
I have to admit, shes pretty smart, being able to think through all that in such a short ti. Still, for Sinmosa to generously offer up her husbands services like thatisnt she afraid that he might get into danger?
Noticing the expression on my face, Sinmosa said thusly: Honestly, even if he wasnt able to grab the Flagrass, he could just as easily have escaped.
Thats true, he could have ran if things go sour No matter what world it was, luring an enemy away from his nest was a valid and well-known strategy. Naturally, those Warhorses were aware of this as well and didnt dare to chase him too far either since he could have just been a decoy.
Either way, that was enough reminiscing for now. At the end of the day, our final destination was the palace and that should be where we focus our attention onto.
Having split off from Nozala, we continued heading north as before. And just like before, we t a number of Warhorses along the way who also avoided us like the plague, rely gazing at us from a distance away.
Thus, our journey proceeded rather uneventfully for about a month. According to the number of paces covered by Sinmosa, we had roughly travelled over thirty to forty thousand Li and had finally left the Warhorse territory.
The territory we were in now could be considered ownerless. The reason was simple: it was dangerous. There were hardly any fiendish creatures who lived here, let alone those who ford a community.
Master, shes still following us. No.3 reported upon returning from his surveillance mission. His brows frowned as he told : Since five days ago, she had been stalking us, I originally thought about speaking to her but
The she No.3 was referring to was a certain salamander who had just given birth. No.3 was the first one to spot her skulking behind us a few days ago. He had wanted to reach out to her then, but upon noticing No.3, she imdiately ducked into a nearby lava lake.
Truly, this was a conundrum for us Why is she following us like that? And why did she duck away then? Well, since you dont want to et us, Im not going to waste ti on this either.
Just like that, I said to No.3: Leave her, I doubt she has any bad intentions. Given how we had just saved her, I doubt there was even a smidge of possibility that she had co looking for revenge. Yet at the sa ti, it didnt seem like she was here to thank us either h, its not like were the ones hiding in the shadows, why should we be the ones fretting instead?
With that out of the way, we picked a random clearing to rest while Big 4 went scouting ahead, Sasani went hunting for food, Sinmosa took up guard and No.3 continued his patrolling. As for , I was on storytelling duty with Mo Na and Cinderel. That was basically our daily routine for the past few days. Until the day we reached the palace, this routine would probably go unchangedprobably
Just as I was about to start telling >, sothing happened.
The earth itself began to tremble slightly as booming footsteps slowly echoed in the surroundings.
Sasani ca galloping back, mouths conspicuously emptyto be exact, he did bring back sothinga giant, chipped and single-ard golem
This newcor was made out of reddish-black rock that was carved into armor in certain regions, giving it the impression of a heavily armored warrior. However, this warrior had no weapons to speak of and most likely relied on its fists and feet to fightwell, a fist, to be exact. The golem in question sent a powerful punch swinging right towards where Sasani stood just monts ago, destroying the earth in the process and sending dust and soil flying about, as if it had just struck a pile of flour. Missing its target, the golem easily pulled out its fist and continued the chase.
The golems speed wasnt too fast, at the very least it wasnt up to par with Sasanis. However, with the way its imposing figure seed to loom over him, and with how the ground seed to shake with every step it took, Sasani couldnt help but feel extrely pressured by the lumbering titan. What was most astonishing was the power it had just displayed that punch was at least at the level of a Five-stars!
That staggering power was probably why Sasani didnt dare to pause for even a second as he ran right towards us
WOOF WOOOF WOOOF Ca Sasanis loud barks. Upon hearing them, Sinmosas face imdiately paled as she yelled to us: RUNthat thing is really strong!
Master, let have a go at it! No.3s yell trailed slowly behind him as he sped off towards the unknown golem, not caring at all about Sinmosas reminder. He had seen that golem attack as well; he knew that it was only at the level for a Five-stars and that stirred his battle instincts.
Like a speeding cot, he dove at the golem with a powerful punch on its head, even without waiting for my prior approval.
*BOOM!*
As the fiery fist landed on the head of the golem, the sheer impact caused the flas of his punch to scatter about like a deadly fireworks show. A second later, he ca bursting out of that conflagration, hand wrapped on the fist he had just punched the golem with. He flapped his wings furiously to try and widen the distance, brows furrowed in pain.
Because he charged in without first confirming the traits of that golem, he ended up coming short in that brief scuffle: Blast itwhy is that big lug so hard
Golems, a mysterious construct whose origins were now untraceable. Even though the humans had always insisted that the initial golems were created by themI believed that as well, given how ingenious we humans werebut upon seeing that golem before in a place that had been sealed up for 80 000 yearsI could safely say that the first golems werent created by human alchemists. Most likely, the first alchemists probably copied the designs from sowhere. After all, human history wasnt longer than 80 000 years, as far as I knew
Depending on the design, golems could have a wide variety of traits. However, there was one thing in common with all varieties of golems: their defenses were always stronger than their power by at least one whole Star levelin other words, this broken down golem was at least as tough as a Six-starsfor No.3 to try and punch one like that, was there any wonder that his fist hurt so much?
Thankfully, Fla Devils had an impressive innate regeneration ability in the form of their elental transformation. By turning themselves into elents and then back, they could basically recover from most injuries. The drawback was that such a move consud vast amounts of mana so it had to be employed judiciously in a fight.
Master, Ive returned Hearing the commotion in the distance, Big 4 ca rushing back just in ti to see No.3 fail his attack: Master, whats that?
Thats a golem In the past, Roscar had told about such a construct. He said that human alchemists loved to use these constructs as guards but for the most part, the ones they created werent that high level. A golem at this level could already be considered a high level golem.
