THE LORD IS TOO OVERBEARING

Chapter 331 A Parting Gift (4)



Casually looking at the body of the Golem, one wouldn't think it would be able to last against one of Basil's explosive Spells. It was, after all, created from the ruins of the mountain he had destroyed that were barely attached to each other.

It looked like a mere explosion would completely blow it away, breaking all of the bond between the ruins that formed the body. That wouldn't happen however; Charles' Golem was special.

Charles had enough Mana to maintain the strong bond between the ruins forming the Golem for a quite long time. It was, of course, because he had a Dragon Heart.

With a height 70 meters, the Golem was exuding an unimaginable Mana Pressure. It felt nothing like the pressure Charles had exuded previously even though Charles was its core.

Due to his body's inability to contain all of the Mana Bahamut's Heart had, Charles had been purposely wasting a quite huge amount of Mana before.

Now that he already a vessel where he could channel the Mana to—the Golem—none of the Mana was wasted. Because of this, the pressure the Golem was exuding was significantly more overwhelming than the one Charles had exuded before.

"This pressure... It feels like I am facing a Dragon," Ione remarked.

"Hast thou met a Dragon?" Basil asked.

"No; however, I have met a Wyvern. All of the Maha Dmitra told me that a Dragon's pressure is five times of that of a Wyvern. The Golem fulfills the criteria, which is why I said it felt like facing a Dragon."

"Dragon is stronger still; however thou art not incorrect. This Golem doth feel like a Dragon. It hath, after all, the heart of the already deceased Dragon, Bahamut."

Right after the most crucial information was revealed, Ione and Basil reached the ground. Ione would be lying if she didn't feel more intimidated after that revelation, however she was still confident they would be able to pull this through.

Looking up, they could see the Golem, which was manned by Charles, glaring down on them. Its two eyes were shining so bright in blue, they were like a spotlight pointing at Ione and Basil.

The Golem's chest was surrounded by darkness. There was a man-sized crystal that was shining in red in the middle of the chest; Charles could be seen standing inside it while looking at Basil and Ione as if he could kill them with his gaze.

It was apparent that he was pissed for what had happened to him, which was also the reason why he was purposely pressuring the two, or rather, Basil with his overwhelming Mana.

"Thou shallst take a distance away. A great help thou wilt be if thou knowest how to keep thy life."

"Charles' life is what I should aim—am I correct, My Lord?"

"Thou art." Basil nodded his head lightly. "I shall keep it busy and inflict as much damage as my power allows me, whilst thou dost thy role."

Nodding her head in confirmation, Ione immediately jumped back and took quite a distance away from Basil. She immediately summoned her Grimoire, then flipped it open in a blink of an eye.

Waiting for Basil to make a move, she prepared a long range Spell that would do enough damage to the crystal protecting Charles.

Hum.

Basil was still fiddling with Durendal and Caliburn. He was relentlessly pumping Nature Mana into the two swords while watching for the Golem's movements.

He was having a staredown with Charles—regardless of how far they were separated—and he couldn't help smiling sardonically at that. He wondered how long Charles' body would last until it was overwhelmed by the burden of handling the Golem.

"When thou fillest a vessel with more water it can handle, the water will spill ... Charles, thy body is screaming at thee to stop; however, deaf thine ears have become."

Boom!

As soon as Basil stopped fiddling with Durendal and Caliburn, the air exploded. Both swords had been filled with as much Nature Mana as he could handle, and he was finally ready to begin his onslaught on the Golem.

At the same time, Charles also finally showed his resolve to begin the fight. The sky darkened as soon as the Golem put its hand up, gathering a dark cloud around its fist.

Crack!

Lightning lit up the sky, splitting the air as they descended into the world. Some struck the Golem right in its fist, meanwhile the rest struck the ground and futilely going towards Basil.

With interest and curiosity, Basil looked at the raised hand of the Golem that was now covered in lightning. Thunder could constantly be heard, filling the ears of everyone in the presence of the Golem.

Whoosh!

Before long, the Golem made a punching gesture and struck its lightning covered hand down. The air was split due to how fast its hand was moving; even Basil could already feel the wind that was pressing him to the ground.

Regardless of that, Basil, who was the target of the punch, was still calm. Extending Durendal and Caliburn in front of him—holding them adjacently—he took a step back, and executed one of his most destructive Sword Techniques.

"[Double Helix]!"

The hand of the Golem was already four meters away from smashing his head the moment Basil swiftly made a twisting motion with Durendal and Caliburn.

A light in a helix shape came out of each of the swords; they were twisting like two Dragons teaming up against their mortal enemy. Soon after, they merged, creating a double helix shape.

Boom!

When the double helix made a contact with the Golem's lightning covered hand, it immediately cut into the hand. A twin of gold and silvery blue lines slithered around the hand, cutting it into six fine helixes.

Crackle!

Destroyed as it might be, the hand, unfortunately, still had the lightning covering it. It immediately went towards Basil as soon as the hand was destroyed.

Basil, fortunately, had the bladed weapons he was controlling with his Aura Ability to protect him. They diverted all of the lightning strikes to the ground, which ended up obliterating it.

"He is smart, I shall admit."

Charles, as Basil had expected, was prepared. He couldn't help smiling when he sensed another hand coming down at him.

He would definitely die if he took the hand head on, so he didn't have any intention remain in his spot. Quick casting [Thunderclap], with a burst of Mana, he disappeared from the spot the Golem's hand would strike.

Boom!

Charles could hear the thunder that was produced by the Motion Spell Basil had cast loud and clear. He knew Basil had run away, however he still couldn't stop his Golem's hand from striking the ground.

BOOM!

Crackle!

As the Golem's hand hit the ground, the ground that was surrounding it immediately caved in, creating a crater that was 20 meters deep and 200 meters wide. Ione and Basil even had to fly just to not be turned into a human paste.

Not stopping there, the lighting covering its hand also struck the ground, splitting it apart and charring it. In just a span of less than twenty minutes, Northern Mountain Region that was famous for its coldness had turned into a heated battlefield.

Boom!

"How bothersome." Charles clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Ione, who saw that the Golem's chest was unprotected, had just sent her Spell to break the crystal protecting Charles. He was quite surprised by the attack, but he was only surprised by how quick the attack speed was.

Ione's Spell didn't have enough power to penetrate the crystal protecting him; so, at best, her attack would be a nuisance.

Boom!

Controlling his Golem to stomp on the ground, countless of earthen spikes rose to the air. Basil and Ione had to maneuver in the air, just so they wouldn't be skewered by the earthen spikes that kept rising as if they wanted to pierce the sky.

Clicking his tongue in slight irritation, Basil held Durendal and Caliburn sideways. The air hummed as the two blades trembled; he swung them when his Sword Technique was ready to be executed.

"[Twin Mountain Cleaver]!"

A straight light, colored in a color unique to each of them, came out of Durendal and Caliburn. The lights cut the air apart, allowing a vacuum to form in the air for a split second, before cutting the body of the Golem.

The lights passed through the body easily, cutting the upper body part into three sections. It wasn't enough to destroy the Golem unfortunately; the body was reattached in less than three seconds.

Basil had, of course, expected something like that to happen, which was why he wasn't surprised in the least bit. He even did that purposely, because he was aiming for something else.

After fully observing the Golem, he had finally figured out its weakness that he could use to his advantage. Some part of the Golem weakened whenever a certain part of it was damaged.

Although he hadn't fully known which part would weaken which part when attacked, he already had a guess based on the Mana Flow of the Golem.

Earlier, he had trisected the upper body of the Golem, and it weakened the head part. It happened because a huge chunk of Mana that was used to reattach the body came from the Mana that flowed in the head.

Because of this fact, Basil was already above the Golem's head, ready to blast it.

"This bastard is really too smart for his own good, isn't he?"

Charles, despite being inside the crystal, could already feel the pressure Durendal and Caliburn were exuding due to the Nature Mana inside them that was ready to burst forth.

He even had already encapsulated himself with seven layers of Mana Barrier, because he knew Basil would be able to blast the head of his Golem and hurt him if he didn't protect himself.

Stab!

The moment Basil landed on the head of his Golem, Charles could feel it tremble. He also lost some of his control over some parts of the Golem, which actually bewildered him greatly.

Buzz!

A bright light made Charles squint his eyes as soon as he heard the static in the air. Looking through his crystal, he could see Ione had just launched a quite threatening Spell at him.

"Really... These bastards."

He would like to smirk at her pathetic attempt to destroy the crystal protecting him; however, he knew her Spell would definitely break it.

Boom!

After all, the moment his Golem's head was destroyed by Basil, the crystal protecting him would weaken significantly.
