Chapter 150 The Crying Fade and the resentful Queen...
There are various types of golems found in this world. A golem can be made out of any element found in this world.
(I am talking about the physical elements that are defined in the periodic table of elements… and other magical elements like mithril, orichalcum, etc. that are unique to this world… If you don't remember the periodic table… go back to school!!)
Golems can be made out of nearly any alloy or pure element. It doesn't even need to be a proper solid shape, you can make a golem straight out of thin air too.
Like literally, just use Hydrogen or any other gas present in the air and make a golem out of it.
(Although it's extremely difficult but some wind magicians have succeeded in doing this ridiculous thing before…)
A Magician with proper skills can carve a magic circle on the elements directly and then turn that element into a golem to fight for them.
(Only SS-rankers or above are capable of creating magic circles on the atoms floating in the surroundings directly…)
(...this process needs insane mana control and an extreme level of proficiency in magic… Only SS-rankers or above meet this criteria…)
The golems that are created out of thin air, and are created with mana circles directly being carved on the atoms by an SS-ranker or above, are automatically considered SS-ranked golems.
But the reason why no one uses SS-rank golems is because, an SS-ranker is already strong enough to shatter continents with one attack, why would they need a golem to do just barely minimum damage at that point.
Rarely ever does an SS-ranker create a golem to do their work.
SS-rankers are already strong enough to travel the whole solar system in just a day, why would they even need a golem to do their work in the first place.
(Travelling between planets and bathing in the sun is like child's play for SS-rankers, they are not called 'Demi-gods' for nothing…)
The rankings of golems are listed below:
B-rank or below-ranked golems: These are the golems that are commonly used by many for mainly combat training purposes.
They are sometimes even used for certain mechanisms and sometimes even appear in the dungeons as enemies.
A-rank Golems: These are the self-adapting golems with capabilities to carry out various attacks.
These golems can adapt to the opponent's moves and are more intelligent than the below-ranked golems
(Like the one that appeared in the inheritance card prepared by Kevin for Rio…)
S-rank Golems: These are the golems that are used on the battleground to mow down the front line and are mainly used as cannon fodder.
Each of these types of golems has a strong and intrinsic mana circle drawn on them.
They can adapt and attack with various attack combinations.
SS-rank golems: As described above they are extremely strong but are nearly non-existent.

During the near-death moments, the soul is said to be in the most conscious state.
Obviously, the 'soul' of such a strong individual like the queen would not have dissipated with all that remnant hatred still alive.
Moreover, the chaotic mana caused weird and unknown phenomena to happen.
When Kira and Fade used mana in the central chamber, they caused magical fluctuations that stirred up the mana and caused extremely rare and unknown phenomena to happen.
(It happened mostly due to the plot armor and heavenly luck triggered by Fade…)
The queen's remnant 'will' and 'soul' that was still residing in her dead body due to her intense hatred for the demon kind, immediately awakened from those mana fluctuations.
The remnant 'souls' and 'wills' of all the dead warriors in the central chamber started to fall towards the queen and they all merged at an extremely fast speed.
The amalgamation of so many remnant 'wills' and 'souls' became extremely unstable and chaotic.
It attracted more souls towards it, and eventually all the dead warrior's souls that died in these underground tunnels while escorting the queen, merged too.
In search of a suitable physical form, the chaotic amalgamation of souls floated down into the ground.
And as if the heavenly luck had favored this chaotic soul.
An ancient stone golem, which had been buried by the earth magic of an earth mage during the starting years of the 'thousand-year war' resided directly below the central chamber.
The chaotic amalgamation of the souls swam through the physical matter with no hindrance and directly landed on the heart of the inactivated golem.
The strongest 'will' among the amalgamation of 'wills' in that chaotic soul, took control and the golem stood up to face the heavens.
Chaotic mana entered from the surroundings, and through the unconscious control of the strong 'Will' the queen's 'will' it powered the golem with insane amounts of energy.
(The queen was the strongest individual among all those who had died in the underground tunnels while escorting her back… thus her strong 'will' took control of the suppressed others from taking control… )
(…but it still is an unstable and chaotic remnant will after all, it still can't think properly, the giant golem is running on remnant thoughts of the dead souls…)
...
When the golem stood up and faced the heavens all it saw was the devastated and destroyed homeland
... which was bathed in the blood of comrades who fought with their whole might to defend the homeland, in the hope of safeguarding their children back home.
But now it was all gone.
'KILL THE DEMONS!!!' (Queen's remnant will)
'DESTROY THEM ALL!!' (Other remnant wills)
'KILL, DESTROY!!' (Chaotic thoughts)
The unstable thoughts that were enraged by the death of their brethren urged for revenge.
They sought destruction and death.
The chaotic mana corrupted them further the soul wept in agony and burned with immense hatred.
The Ancient S-rank golem raised its head and stared at the spot in the sky where the supposed SS-ranked demon was supposed to be according to the queen's last memories.
... but now it wasn't there anymore.
Thus the focus of the golem shifted towards Fade and Kira who were squirming around on the ground.
Right now everyone who came into the sight of the golem was automatically considered a demon in its eyes, thus the golem already mistook Fade and Kira as demons.
Magical phenomena occurred again due to the hatred of the chaotic remnant wills and the eyes of the golem bleed tears of blood as it stared at Fade and Kira with intense hatred.
Only one thought resided in the mind of the giant S-rank golem now.
'Kill and Destroy!'
…
(Meanwhile)
A Necklace that was resting on Kira's neck broke apart while both Kira and Fade were lying on the ground.
The two of them evaded instant death from the golem's previous attack due to this necklace that Kira was wearing on her neck. (It was originally gifted to her by Liam…)
The damage was negated but Kira directly fainted from mana exhaustion and stayed unconscious on the ground.
Fade wanted to get up but the golem didn't know mercy, it directly stomped with an insane momentum.
[Intermediate Water Magic: Shifting River!]
Fade cast a water spell that made him and Kira both be swept away by water and Fade increased his mana output to max, but even with all his might he was still not able to dodge the attack on time.
The gigantic feet of the golem directly landed on Fade's left leg and since he was lying down on the ground his upper body escaped the stomp but his left leg was crushed under the feet of the golem.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!" (Fade)
Extreme pain rose from the crushed leg and Fade felt like he was losing his sanity due to that extreme pain.
(Remember, He isn't emotionless Like Rio who doesn't feel pain at his hand being cut off, neither is his physique as strong as Link's nor does he have the protection of a dragon to escape danger on time…)
Even the reason Fade was still able to avoid death so many times right now was because of the heavenly luck protecting him from death. (Plot armor goes brrrr!)
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFade glanced back and saw the blood flowing from the eyes of the golem, which made the golem look even more hideous and terrifying.
Its strong aura pressed on Fade and made him fearful to the extreme.
"No… i-I can't die here… I am the chosen one! I-I can't die here!... someone h-help me…" (Fade)
Fearful of death, Fade screamed for help.
He desperately tried to escape, he used his hands to crawl forward with a desperate look on his face.
Due to extreme fear and losing his calm state of mind due to pain, the thought that he should have used some spell to stop the bleeding on his leg didn't come to his mind at all.
This was already a grave mistake.
"Ahhh! S-someone save me!" (Fade)
Tears ran down his eyes as he cried for help. Now, He regretted his decision to come to this dungeon in the first place.
He saw the silhouette of Kira being buried under the rubble that flew up from the ground when the giant golem stomped the ground earlier and crushed his leg.
With tearful eyes Fade stared at Kira who was unconscious. The whole lower body of Kira was buried under the debris.
He tried to crawl towards Kira and cried for help.
"K-kira he-help me… I am in extreme pain…. He-heal me… ahh… ahhh!!" (Fade)
But since Kira herself was unconscious, his pain-filled voice was heard by none.
