Supreme Magus novel Chapter 662

The following hit produced a thunderclap as the hammer stuck in the cracked stone was turned into a giant nail that shattered the Golem’s protective shell and revealed its power core.

The construct had managed to move it out from harm’s way in the nick of time. The power core was spherical purple mana crystal as big as a basketball, with its entire surface covered with blue runes of power.

"Darn it. I missed it by an inch!" Morok said.

Lith had been able to see it moving from the Golem’s chest down to its abdomen thanks to Life Vision, so he already knew that Morok’s plan would fail. He used spirit magic to keep the Golem away from the ground and from the materials it needed to fix the hole in its chest.

Earth was the second slowest element, so the enchanted sand would need some time before reaching its master. A time that neither of the Rangers was willing to give. The hammers had already returned into Morok’s hands and Lith used spirit magic to slow the Golem’s arms long enough to give his companion the time for a second attempt.

The Golem opened all of its compartments and released several Alchemical tools to protect its core. At the same time, it activated the strongest spell in its arsenal, the tier five Earth Splitter.

Lith saw the massive amount of earth element build up near the construct and rejoiced for it. The power core’s light had become significantly duller after conjuring such a big spell.

The only problem was that the Golem had resorted to a low blow as a last-ditch effort. The Alchemical tools it was using were a darkness based toxic gas and the same combination of air and fire wands the other Golem had used earlier.

"Crap, that thing wants to suffocate us!" Morok said after noticing that only a few fire blasts were aimed at them while the rest destroyed the biggest moss deposits in the cave.

Everyone had avoided using fire magic because after the Golem’s initial attack the air in the cave was already thin. If the oxygen dropped any further, no amount of light magic could save the expedition team from a slow death by asphyxiation.

’Do you want to play dirty? Fine by me!’ Lith had no choice but freeing the Golem from his spirit magic so that the mana strand could snap the wands grafted inside its arms in half.

Leaving them exposed for so long was a huge risk since alchemical magic harmed its user as well as the enemy. Lith had avoided that tactic because the resulting explosion was bound to be huge, but at that point worrying about it was useless.

He could only cut his losses and hope for the best.

Morok was about to curse at Lith for letting go of the enemy and making it impossible for him to deliver the deathblow when the Golem disappeared in a burst of flames.

The chain reaction destroyed the construct’s limbs, neutralized the noxious gas, and cracked the power core. Just a scratch, but enough to dispel Earth Splitter and make the Golem fall limp.

Morok turned the curses into praise as his hammers’ combined strike shattered the power core. The purple sphere exploded, releasing a pinkish goo.

"Is it dead or just playing dead?" Lith asked to both Solus and Morok. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

"Only one way to know." Ranger Eari moved his hand and the Golem disappeared inside his dimensional amulet.

"It’s dead. If there was any active spell, I wouldn’t have been able to store it."

"I know that too, you idiot? Why do you think I kept myself at safe distance? What if it self-destructed?" Lith was seconds away from strangling his fellow Ranger.
