The Golem Mage

Chapter 25  Four New Special Golems

Alec decided to take a shower, as he noticed a lingering, unpleasant odor emanating from his body after the recent breakthrough, and that was the only reason why he had left his Arthur and Brandon with the golems.

Even though there was no visible residue, he could still sense the impurities that had been expelled.

"I hope they're holding up well against Titan," Alec murmured to himself while cleaning his body.

As he did so, he couldn't help but notice the incredible development of his abs and muscles, making him appear more attractive and confident with his exposed upper body.

"I bet I could turn some heads just by flaunting this sexy physique," Alec thought to himself,

giving a playful wink at his reflection before making his way back to the courtyard.

He was eager to witness Brandon's and Arthur's progress.

However, as he stepped into the courtyard, his mouth hung open in shock.

It was a sight that shook him to the core—the bodies of his siblings lay on the ground, groaning in pain, while Legion's laughter echoed through the air.

Legion's menacing presence, combined with his helmet and body armor, made him resemble an undead creature instead of a golem, if not for his smooth rocky body Alec might really be curious if truly he was developing an Undead instead.

"Hey system, why does it feel like Legion's armor is made of real steel instead of stone?" Alec inquired.

[ X : Simple. I used the mana you provided to create them, Firstly, I compressed the earth elements into the desired shape, then I used the remaining mana to infuse the fire and metal elements from the atmosphere , effectively burning the compressed earth and giving it a metal-like quality, after adding a little earth essence] the system replied.

"Oh," Alec responded, contemplating the system's explanation.

[ X : Another thing, I've noticed you've never utilized your fire elements when creating a golem, You should try it sometime, Golems can be made from anything, which is what makes them special,] the system advised.

"Wow, that's actually quite helpful. You're talking to me on your own," Alec remarked to the system.

[ X : Well, if you recall, I deducted 50 mana for that advice,] the system reminded him.

"The f**k, ugh," Alec groaned, feeling like pulling his hair out.

Despite his initial frustration, he couldn't deny that the system's guidance had opened up new possibilities regarding his golem experimentation.

The cost of an additional 50 mana seemed reasonable to him, considering the benefits it offered.

Alec couldn't believe the sight before him.

Titans' mace and shield were still strapped to its back, while his siblings was on the ground, This meant that Titan had defeated both Arthur and Brandon without even using any weapons.

"Man, he's a complete beast, nothing like what we saw before, Right, Brandon?" Arthur commented, lifting himself up from the ground.

Alec turned his gaze towards Brandon, seeking confirmation.

All he received was a silent nod from him.

"Don't mind him, bro, Brandon's just not much of a talker, you know," Arthur explained.

"Enough with the laughing," Alec said sternly, directing his glare towards Legion, who quickly became silent as a statue.

This made Brandon and Arthur feel less embarrassed, now that Legion's unsettling laughter had ceased.

Alec realized that he may have pushed them too far by challenging Titan to train with them.

He had wanted to train them ever since he noticed their immense improvement in combat when their lives were on the line, like during the zombie encounters.

However, Titan was on a whole other level, capable of killing them instantly.

That's why they had made no progress and suffered defeat.

"Well, since you guys can't handle Titan, I suppose you'll just have to fight two level 0 golems instead," Alec said.

"What's a level 0 golem?" Brandon asked.

"It's like saying unclassified zombies," Alec replied.

"Oh, so you want us to face your spear-wielding golems?" Arthur questioned.

"Oh, (laughs out loud), If you think of them as just spear-wielding golems, get ready to be surprised because the experiments I've conducted on them will shock you," Alec said.

"Now I feel uneasy just hearing you say that," Arthur muttered as Alec released four level 0 golems from the space pouch his grandfather, the patriarch, had gifted him.

As soon as the four golems appeared, the atmosphere in the courtyard changed.

Arthur's jaw dropped in disbelief as he struggled to comprehend what he was seeing.

"What have you done to these seemingly harmless golems?, They're like monsters now," Arthur exclaimed, pointing at the newly released creations.

"Even though their aura hasn't reached Tier 1 yet, these golems are clearly almost at that level, How the hell did you manage to do this?" Brandon exclaimed, his mana starting to flow around him as he took a battle stance, drawing out a long blade that he always kept with him.

"What happened to those cute spear-wielding golems?" Arthur asked, clearly freaked out by the drastic changes in the golems.

The four golems looked drastically different from before, as Alec had been experimenting on them and making various changes to their body structures and weapons.

With his increased experience in crafting golems, Alec had been able to achieve significant improvements.

One of the golems had a shorter stature but wielded a massive sword that was embedded in the ground, its length matching its peculiar height.

The golem stood with crossed arms, exuding a cool and confident aura as it stood slightly apart from the other golems.

"Why do I feel like that golem resembles you, Brandon?" Arthur questioned, pointing towards the golem that shared the same height and weapon as Brandon.

"That's because I designed that golem with Brandon in mind, I really admired his fighting style, so I wanted to create another golem that could mimic at least 50 percent of his characteristics,"

Alec explained, making sure not to hurt Brandon's feelings by implying that the golem could replace him.

"The rest of the golems look pretty intimidating too," Arthur said, trying to overcome his sense of unease.

Alec observed what he had created, reflecting on his journey of combining ideas from the old world and techniques from 'The Journal of Golem Making" that he had inherited from the Patriarch.

It was a sacred tradition passed down to future leaders of the family.

One of the golems stood as tall as Titan, boasting six arms that gave it an imposing appearance.

It had two longer arms at its back and four facing the front, equipped with a variety of blades. Despite its blank face, Arthur and Brandon couldn't shake the feeling that there was a twisted expression hidden behind its flickering red eyes.

" Let me introduce you to Asura, the six-armed maniac, After I changed its body structure, I could have promoted it to Tier 1, but I wanted to test something out first, and that's why you guys are the perfect test subjects," Alec explained.

"Moving on to the third golem, I call this one Butcher," Alec said,

pointing to another golem that appeared to be normal without any additional modifications.

However, its darker shade of brown and choice of weaponry made it clear why Alec named it Butcher.

It had two small axes strapped to its back with earth elements, while a large Twop handed axe rested on its shoulders, supported by its left hand. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Arthur and Brandon couldn't help but feel like they were looking at a war god.

The fourth golem appeared relatively normal, with the only noticeable difference being the big golden core on its chest that flickered like a beating heart.

But based on their previous experiences with the golems, they knew better than to underestimate this seemingly simple-looking golem.

"I call the last golem Magnito, as I fused it with the metal core my grandfather gave me, To be honest, I haven't really tested their powers after remodeling them," Alec explained.

"Just as you need training partners, they also need someone to test their battle powers against, So I think you guys are the perfect opponents, Now all you have to do is pick which two you'll be facing and start your hellish training, I'll start supervising now," Alec said with an eerie smile.

"You know, I'm sure you're like the younger version of the Patriarch, Even both of your evil smiles are strikingly similar,"

Arthur commented, almost crying at the idea of the challenging training session ahead.
