The whole group made their way down to the first training room in the lower levels, where they lined up against the wall, waiting for the trio with new skills to show off for the group.
"So, how do we do this? The mages first, or the mages second?" Karl asked.
Othello smirked at him. "I say we do the mages first, in case you come out with something ridiculous as a Golem. We already know that they got something normal for their first ones, but your friend Rae got spiders made of wood that evolved into something else, and then there are your Bodyguards, who appear to be real living monsters."
Dana nodded and Ahmad shrugged. "She has a point. Giving all of us the same skill does not guarantee similar results, given your track record."
Karl stepped back to let them work, and the two mages began to focus on the desired form and attributes for their new summon. Naturally, they would get the same one every time after the first, so this particular summoning was the most important.
Ahmad finished his focus first, and summoned his new Golem. It was similar to the four he had from the main Golem spell, in that it appeared to be a human in ancient Legionnaire armour. But this one was different. It crackled with magical energy, and had a barrier spell active.
Ahmad didn't say anything to disturb Dana's focus as she called forth her own creation.
Her first ones had come out like Stone Karl statues, but this one was shorter, and much more slender. The Golem was wearing form fitting black armour with black plates over it, very similar to Tabitha, but the head and hands were different. Her golem was not human, but a violet skinned Demoness with a scimitar in both hands. When Karl looked closely, he could see that it was not living like the Bodyguards, but a stone facsimile of an actual Demoness. But its weapons were coated in black energy, and Dana was smiling.
"It can use my skill [Disruption Blade] as well as the [Windwalker Combat Style]. I believe it's an Epic Grade agility type summon." She explained.
Compared to Dana, the Golem was still huge, over two metres tall, but that put it a full metre shorter than the standard summon for the other Golems. It was large enough to block for Dana, and presumably fast enough to intercept most attackers.
It wouldn't be Epic Grade if it wasn't at least that fast.
Ahmad nodded, and then his Golem duplicated itself. "Mine can use my [Duplicate Summoning] skill, as well as [Arcane Barrier] which serves as both an offensive and defensive skill."
The Librarian snorted in amusement. "Of course, it can duplicate itself. Such a cheat code for the man who already has four Golems."
The Mages didn't dismiss their Golems, only moved to the side of the room with them, so that Karl could come forward and see what he would get now that he was performing a proper summoning of his own.
Karl knew that he likely could come up with something great if he really focused. Dana had created a golem that mimicked the basics of her own combat abilities, which was incredibly impressive.
[Alright, group effort. I have no idea what we're summoning anyhow. So, everyone focus on what they want out of the new Golem and let's see what happens.] Karl suggested.
[Oh, this is fun. I like this game.] Cara cheered. [SCALES!] Thor insisted.
