Blacksmith of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1186.Undead on the Walls

The Ivicer had just proclaimed his power, reminding everyone that they still had allies in the sky.

For a moment their gazes were caught by a smaller figure, falling from the sky. A massive Minotaur, over 3 meters tall, carrying an axe as big as himself, landed on one island and cleaved a Corpse Shrieker, a giant black monster bird, clean in two.

The mighty performance was followed by the roar of thunder as clusters of lightning started raining on the beasts attacking the floating beasts. The message of the beasts of calamity was clear. Puffles, Tatzel, and Asterion were here to defend against the portal above.

They just showcased their might, eradicating the beasts or pushing them into the energy beams of Iego, when a jet of dragon fire engulfed Puffles as an answer. The skeleton dragon was not gone! Puffles' attack left a black stain on its forehead, but nothing more. The Ivicer's fate was uncertain, but nobody had the time to consider it.

With the cracking of space, the massive claws of the dragon grasped the edges of the portal tighter and ripped it further open! Finally, the big boss pulled itself out of the portal, entering Delta's air space and leaving a giant, jagged hole behind. Revealing its size, it rivaled the dome of lightning the Iego System created above Delta.

...

Natina was quite upset, seeing the shitty centipede kill two of her bone dragons like it was nothing! Especially her poor Nidhog was sent back to the underworld again. She had enough. It was time for Kalzemir to take action.

After hovering for a moment, the claws of the ancient dragon landed on the floating tips. Completely ignoring the energy attacks from the defense system, the beast put its full weight onto the cornerstones of the defense.

Satisfied, she watched as the dome of lightning tried to resist, but the floating island quickly started losing altitude, jeopardizing the function of the defense formation. She could hear the defenders outright screaming in panic, seeing a giant dragon pelvis descending from the sky.

Once the ancient skeleton dragon entered Delta, it wouldn't even take a minute to flatten the whole city. Excited, the chosen of Kali clenched her fist. Despite losing a bunch of high-level undead, things were going easier than expected. Once the Iego System was gone everything would be over.

Even if they somehow revealed their legendary tree, their defeat was inevitable. Once Delta was conquered, she would look for the blacksmith and capture him. She would torture him and make him watch what she would do to his friends.

She would proceed to crush Urth's resistance and take this world for Spatia, maybe even keep it as her own fief to govern with iron fists. The chosen was excitedly waiting for the floating islands to be crushed when the flank of the volcano was suddenly submerged in golden light. Was it the rising sun? She quickly discarded that thought. They came from the east, the rising sun was in their back, so… What. Was. That?

--- About 10 days before the tournament, Southwest of Delta---

In the cracked valley where Seth used to practice with the Devil’s Wheel fiddle, stood the Golem Forge, reaching to the heavens. It was guarded by a massive golem, but inside it stood a golem at least three times its size. The King of the Colossi had turned into a massive statue, his skin now made of an uncountable number of plates, made of

Stolen novel; please report.

He donned the repaired armor as well as the crown he used to wear before Alison’s felled him with her space-rending magic. Now that the Golem Forge finished its work, it was on Seth to complete the last step- Inserting the Core.

Actually, it was the main core, as there were several cores with simpler degrees of automaton enchantments spread across the body. Seth had come up with this idea based on the fact or fiction that Dinosaurs actually had two brains because they were so big, that the reactions would have become too slow, or something like that.

Of course, it was with the help of Tored and the others that he developed it into a system, where the secondary cores would work as relay points and be controlled by the central core. The central core itself was a basketball-sized sphere of epic and was engraved with Hephaestus' Generic Automaton Core Circuit he had learned from Cormac Payle, the Chosen of Hephaestus.

Melded into the core's material itself was the soul of Knight Captain Wilkin, Seth had received for accomplishing a quest by sending news of the knight orders demise to Okosea. The soul itself was just big and rare, but the description said that it contained 80% of the man's original skills.

It seemed that Wilkin used to be a Dark Templar, a variation of the Paladin class, giving him a very rounded set of skills, that fitted the original specs of the body quite well.

Her jaw dropped when she realized what it was. A giant humanoid, the size of a colossus, roughly 300m tall, had appeared at the slopes of the volcano reaching past the clouds. His skin had the color of gold or bronze and he wore a golden armor on top.

It wasn’t the appearance itself that shocked Natina, it wasn't even the sudden appearance of the hulk. It was what he did next, that baffled her to the point that she couldn’t react.

With an agility something that size shouldn’t have, it jumped off the slope, performing a somersault in the air, followed by a dynamic kick, straight into the dragon's rib cage. For a moment the world stood still.

The sound of the two giants colliding was bloodcurdling. The deafening sound of mountains crunching echoed across the mountain range. Despite being several times bigger, the dragon buckled under the force and was pushed off the Iego System.

Stumbling off the wobbly island, the dragon fell into the field of valleys and crippled mountains, that surrounded Delta. The golden Juggernaut was hot on its heels and jumped after it. Landing on its back, he started grappling her dragon, like a catcher fighting a skeleton horse. She was just coming to her senses, when she saw the colossus, lock the skeleton dragon’s forelegs and wings in a hold.

What was with this agility and force, despite the much smaller size? But what really shocked her was the pain the dragon transmitted to her. Smoke was rising from the places where the giant touched her dragon, and she could feel that it was the damage of purification. The greatest weakness for undead was pure holy power associated with light, nature, or the sun. But how could such a massive creature have the holy aura to damage the dragon with just its touch?

Just what was this thing? It definitely wasn’t a legend, there was no notification. It also didn't seem like a deity... Still, it was able to tie down the skeleton dragon and its attribute gave it an advantage. She would have to-

When Natina wanted to make her move, she was distracted by another set of pressing news. Their troops attacking the walls were facing unexpected resistance. Their aim were the vast stretches of walls that were hardly maintained or weaknesses that were hard to defend, however-

“There are undead on the walls!” the messenger screamed into the communication orb, trying to overcome the noise of battle. The next scene showed the walls of Delta, which they assumed to be vastly understaffed, chockfull with an army of undead.
