The Golem Mage

29  Different paths Among Golems

Alec gasped as he watched all that was happening.

He was really curious to see what the new golem would turn out to look like.

Even though he had watched Legion go through this process of evolution before, he was still extremely curious to see how this new golem would look.

The mana started transforming the golem as it grew taller all of a sudden.

”Ohhhh,” both Arthur and Brandon could not keep their mouths closed as they watched the golem grow tall to the same height as Legion.

”Why do I feel like I am witnessing the birth of another monster like Legion?” Arthur questioned, nobody in particular.

”Definitely because the aura it’s releasing is almost as suffocating as the one Legion released the moment he became a Tier 1 golem,” Brandon replied to Arthur’s question in a very detailed way that it gave even him cringes just thinking of fighting another monster on the level of Legion.

Just as they were making suggestions, the transformation of the Axe-wielding golem had ended.

It was as tall as Legion and had the same look as Legion.

It was as if they were looking at a gladiator wielding an axe.

The only difference was that his shoulder pads had spikes on the right side.

Its Stone armor looked lighter than the one Legion had.

The axe it wielded had the greatest transformation of all.

It no longer had its brown color; it now had two colors, black and red. Alec never realized that the weapons his golem used could have another color apart from brown and black.

The red color gave the axe a new aura of fierceness, while the two small axes at his back were pure black and curved.

“It seems those are for throwing,” Alec thought to himself.

The golem was really intimidating, as it was releasing a faint killing intent even though it had never killed any human before.

“I guess this is one of the attributes that comes with the fact that it’s a berserk golem,” Alec said to himself.

In the heat of the moment, Alec exclaimed,

”Now letʼs really check this babyʼs stats!” completely forgetting that both Arthur and Brandon were still with him.

However, they were so engrossed in examining the golem that they paid little attention to Alec.

Alec could finally see the resemblance between Legion and the new tier 1 golem, except for the long two-handed blood axe and the dual short axes wielded by the new golem; the rest of their equipment was the same.

”What the heck is going on?” Alec questioned the system inside his mind.

[ x: Simply put, they both chose the same path, the path of gladiator, Let me explain something that you, the system, don’t have the power to pick a path for the golem; all I do is show them different paths their class can work with, After all, they gain the ability to think since the day you created them, from that moment onwards, it’s left for them to choose what they want to become. Though I think Legion also influenced the new golem to pick the gladiatorʼs path.]

”You are getting me confused; be more specific, would you?” Alec asked again.

[ x: I believed your golem picked the gladiator path since it wanted to imitate its senior. Don’t worry, there are other paths apart from the gladiators, so you don’t have to worry about all your golems being gladiator golems. I know how much you crave for each of your golems to be unique.]

”Is it quite obvious?” Alec asked.

[ x: Oh yes, it is. The fact that you made each of them change weapons from spears to other weapons after Legion became a tier 1 spearman shows just how much you wanted them to be unique.]

”Well, you can’t blame me. After reading just the first volume of the book my grandfather gave me, I would be a fool to just create golems full of spearman golems. My dream is much bigger than that,” Alec said back to the system.

[ x: That’s 120 mana for the answers.]

The system said, laughing evilly, making it hard to still distinguish if it was a male or female system.

”You deceiver, you answered one question in three different places,” Alec accused.

[ x: I just made sure you were curious enough to keep on asking for more questions.]

The system explained its little scheme, making Alec grit his teeth in anger, as no matter how cautious he acted, he had always been outsmarted by the system.

The new golem quickly went down on one knee, the same way Legion had done when it got promoted, so Alec was able to guess what it wanted before it even spoke.

”Na...me?, más...ter,” it said.

”Oh!!! Boss, let me name this one,” Arthur quickly jumped in when he heard the golem requesting a name. He was not ready to see his brother name another golem with his bad naming sense.

”Over to you,” Alec replied, not even ready to make a move, as naming was not his strong suit.

”We shall name you the Axe demon,” Arthur said, but the golem still kept waiting while still on its knees.

Alec was surprised and turned back.

”You shall be named Axe Demon,” Alec said, copying Arthur.

”Thanks,” the Axe demon said as it finally got up.

[ Berserk Axeman Golem ]

Name: Axe demon

Level: 1 [can be upgraded]

Realm: ( low) Tier 1

Rank: Elite

Strength: 20

Agility: 15

Endurance: 7

The name got updated immediately after Alec declared the name too.

”That’s unfair,” Arthur started ranting to the golem, but it just ignored him as it walked over to Legion and stretched out an arm.

”Brother,” Axe demon said, while Legion shook its arms, saying ”brother” too to the Axe demon.

Alec watched all this happen before moving to the next golem, the golem with a great sword.

”It’s time we have our own swordsman,” Alec said as he opened the golem’s options of evolution.

[ One of your golems has reached maximum value and can evolve into a Tier 1 golem, Choose its path: ]

- Ordinary Tier one golem (cost 25 mana)

- Swordsman Golem – Tier one golem (cost 50 mana)

- Destruction Great Swordsman Golem – Tier one golem (cost 100 mana)

” am choosing the Destruction Great Swordsman Golem, You better not be picking the gladiatorʼs path, or I might just faint,” Alec said as he finally clicked on the third option.
