The Golem Mage

Chapter 1145: Bone lord, Blood Demon 3.

The moment Titan stepped forward, the massive bodies of the captain-rank Ice Golems under his command began dragging themselves up from the frosted ground, almost as if they had been waiting for his call all along.

They wasted no time, with Bulwark, his strongest captain, taking the lead.

The Tier 6 Zerg that had just broken through the line just happened to be a Ravager Zerg, a creature with a structure that could only be described as muscular and disgusting.

Its body was packed with lower limbs, many of them looking more like blades than actual legs, and its wide mouth opened to reveal three layers of fangs that looked deadly in every possible way.

It bit down, swallowing three Barbarian warriors in a single gulp, then kept chewing at them until their bodies disappeared completely.

After that, it lifted its gaze toward Titan, who was approaching with what seems to be his entourage.

“Roooaaaarrr!”

It let out a thunderous roar and charged straight at him, aiming to devour the strongest.

But Glacius, the second captain-rank Ice Golem, had already stepped forward, he bent slightly, his footwork sharp and deceptive, moving with the rhythm of a shadow boxer throwing feints.

The instant the massive Tier 6 Zerg entered his range, Glacius shifted slightly to the left, and his ice spear materialized in his right hand, with tiny frost runes shimmered along the weapon’s body, giving it an intricate and flawless appearance.

In one swift motion, he drove the spear straight into the beast’s head while supporting his grip on the weapon with his second hand, which caused the halting of the Zerg’s charge instantly.

In the very next heartbeat, two long ice spikes burst out from both the front and back of the Zerg’s skull as Glacius twisted the spear’s handle in his grip, as chunks of brain matter were flung into the air as the spear tore through its head, disfiguring it in the process.

When he was done, Glacius kicked the corpse out of the path, because Titan had not slowed his steps for even a second, he simply kept walking forward while the towering Ice Golems around him cut down every Tier 6 or lower Zerg that dared come near.

When he reached the edge of the city wall that had been cleared for him, Titan simply jumped. Ice materialized beneath his feet, and he surfed down the wall as it shaped itself into a wide sliding staircase of frost leading to the ground below.

Any Zerg unlucky enough to be caught in the path of that massive, sturdy ice slide was instantly frozen into grotesque sculptures within the glacial trail, behind him, his Ice Golems slid down the moment he did.

“He’s going after that big-mouth Zerg. Let’s move too. I already called dibs on that guy when I took that shot. I don’t know why he’s going after someone I already marked,” Legion complained as he dashed toward the edge, firing a handgun with his left hand to wipe out the Zergs in his way before leaping off the city wall and into the sky.

At first, it looked like he was free-falling, but gliding wings soon protruded from his back while he threw out ten mechanical cubes that began transforming in midair.

Before his wings fully spread, all ten cybernetic golems had already assembled themselves from the cube, as they went from falling freely to spiraling back upward just moments before they would have slammed into the ground.

“We move.”

“Don’t get held up.”

“Those two bastards are trying to steal the limelight again.”

After the actions of both Legion and Titan, the other five golems didn’t bother waiting anymore, they all started summoning their units and jumped off the city wall to join the battle below.

Because of that, they were able to wipe out most of the Zergs trying to climb the walls.

The few that remained were still manageable for the Barbarian soldiers to deal with, especially with Connor personally joining his men in clearing them out, while many of the Amazon archers had now banded together to make their attacks on the battlefield even more effective.

Meanwhile, their leader, the Amazon Archer Queen, was an exception, she wielded a massive crossbow whose bolts seemed to drill straight through any Zerg she fired at, and not only that, she was able to load another bolt with seamless precision, as if the motion had been carved into her very instincts.

Her dodging technique and battle perception were on an entirely different level, from the way she fought, Alec was sure she could hold her own against an ordinary Low Tier 7 mage.

He was more than impressed, he had already pushed the idea of checking his army barracks again when he returned to his city to top of his top do list, but now that thought just resurfaced stronger than ever.

He knew his citizens wouldn’t be able to build a true military force anytime soon, so if he could keep summoning an army like this in the Origin World, then he wouldn’t mind at all if his people chose different professions to strengthen his future kingdom in other ways.

“I’ll be taking my leave now too,” Alec said as he turned toward the Hive Queen, who only gave a slight nod in response.

After that brief exchange, Alec slid down using the icy path Titan and his golems had created, from where he moved, he could already tell the battle would soon come to an end, because the golems had clearly seized the upper hand.

Though the Zergs still held the advantage in sheer numbers, they were getting killed faster than they can handle, and every time a minion golem was destroyed, it was immediately resummoned by the main golems.

In this region, their mana was almost inexhaustible because the area was overflowing with mana particles of every known and unknown element..

However, each time a minion golem died, there was still a penalty, they would be resummoned from the very beginning of the mid ranks, meaning they would return to starting from the Low Tier 4 realm.

After being resummoned, they naturally stayed between their stronger comrades so they wouldn’t be killed off too easily again, and considering how many mid-rank Zergs were being slaughtered every second by the main members of Alec’s force, it became much easier for them to level back up quickly, at least to the Tier 5 realm, before properly rejoining the front lines.

Since a certain percentage of every kill made by the team flowed to the weakest members, they were able to grow quickly again.

In fact, all of the golems were growing, and as for those who had already reached the peak of the Tier 6 realm, bringing them down had proven to be impossible to the zergs, as they were more like disaster-class beings.

Examples of that were Glacius and Bulwark from Titan’s squad of ice golems. One wielded an ice lance, ice spear, and practically every long-range weapon he could conjure, while the other carried two shields, killing his opponents by smashing those shields straight into their mouths.

And if that alone wasn’t enough, he would control an ice spike to shoot outward from the end of his shield.

With such sudden attacks, the ice spike would often burst out from the other side of the target’s head, piercing through the brain with terrifying ease.

In that way, both of Titan’s top ice golems were leaving a deep impression in Alec’s heart as they followed in the footsteps of their lord, Titan—a true battlefield demon.

At that moment, Titan and the other main golems were clashing with the twenty Tier 7 Zergs. Though they were outnumbered, they showed no sign of struggling against their opponents.

Titan himself had already been responsible for killing two out of the three facing him, smashing his mace into their heads without hesitation.

After watching for a while, Alec finally continued walking toward where he intended to go, all this time, as he crossed the battlefield, the summoned units of his main golems were cutting down the Zergs in his path, giving him unobstructed passage.

The image was almost unreal—a human walking calmly across a battlefield drowned in chaos, yet no Zerg could reach him no matter how hard they tried, the golems would gladly give their lives before allowing anything to come near him.

And after all that walking, Alec finally reached his destination.

Standing before him was the Tier 8 Zerg. It had multiple eyes on its head, yet every single one of them held the same expression—pure disdain.

“Many have looked at me like that, and they all died, but none of them are about to die as painfully as you, before coming to that though I have a task to perform first” Alec said as he channeled his mana into the sanguine bat tattoo behind him.
