Chapter 220: Puppet

A ball of black smoke suddenly emerged from the messy broken bricks and tiles. It distorted in the air and turned into a black shadow with sharp teeth and claws. It looked like a devil.

It stretched out its long and pitch-black sharp claws and clawed at Heath’s back.

Just as it was about to grab him, Heath seemed to have a pair of eyes on his back. He moved to the side and calmly dodged.

Clang! A loud sword chime exploded in the spacious hall.

Charging forward, Heath pulled out the Red Demon behind him, turned around, and brandished his sword. A vertical slash slashed toward the black shadow behind him.

“Ah!”

The black shadow let out a shrill scream and looked at Heath with hatred. Then, with a bang, it exploded into a cloud of black smoke and quickly dissipated into the air.

However, not long after the smoke dissipated, suddenly —

Ka! A heavy sound rang out. It was a stone statue lying on one side of the hall.

This stone statue, which had been reduced to a few broken pieces, seemed to have come to life. Two beams of red light suddenly shot out from the cracked head, and then the entire stone statue began to move quietly.

Rumble!

A loud bang sounded, and the stone statue pieces on the ground shook quickly. The broken stones quickly rushed towards each other, as if there was a great suction force between them. Under the pull of this suction force, they reassembled.

Soon, a stone statue giant stood up with high spirits.

This stone statue giant was about a hundred meters tall. Its appearance was carved with the appearance of a bare-chested dog-headed man. In its hand was a long and huge axe, the mottled body was filled with cracks.

It was a dog-headed man from one of the Nine Great Races. Legend had it that they had a good relationship with Everett and were his loyal servants.

After the last piece was filled in, the cracks on the stone statue suddenly lit up with a red light and miraculously healed.

Then, the huge stone statue raised its head and let out a fierce roar. “Roar!”

“Golem Puppet?”

Such a stone statue was not unfamiliar to Heath. It was a golem puppet, an alchemy product commonly seen in the Wizard World.

At the same time, the stone statue had already begun to attack Heath.

It waved the long, huge axe in its hand and hacked at Heath, as if it was splitting mountains and splitting seas. The axe blade cut through the air and even produced a series of ‘pu pu pu’ sound of wind breaking.

Heath held onto Red Demon with both hands and hacked upwards, colliding with the huge axe.

Boom! A loud sound rang out.

One large and one small, the air between the two figures actually twisted, and a visible ripple spread outwards. Wherever it passed by, the bricks and stones shattered and cracked.

Ka! A sound rang out.

The ground beneath Heath’s feet split open, and his legs abruptly sank down.

What a powerful force!

Although there was no showy competition in pure strength just now, as a Grand Knight, Heath’s strength had long exceeded 50 points, and yet he was still slashed into the ground. From this, it could be seen how powerful this thing was.

‘Shall I test its speed?’

With this in mind, Heath did not use any magic. Instead, he shot out from the ground with his legs, and then pounced forward while dancing with Red Demon.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of metal clashing could be heard.

In terms of speed, the stone giant was not as good as it seemed. It was basically defenseless against Heath’s attack. In an instant, the crossguard sword created cracks on the body of the giant, a large number of crushed stones shot into the sky with sparks.

However, the crushed stones were soon pulled back to the body of the stone giant by a strange force, restoring it to its original state.

“Its recovery is excellent. If I have the chance, I’ll find some materials and make some myself…”

After a series of tests, Heath could not help but be tempted.

Golem Puppets was a subject under alchemy spells. He had extracted a lot of knowledge in this field during the trials in Shadow Tower, and later on, he had learned a lot of information in this field. As long as the materials were abundant, it was easy to make an alchemy puppet.

He planned in his mind that Heath would increase the frequency of the sword in his hand, and at the same time, he would quickly inject elements into it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of rushing wind could be heard.

Hundreds of wind blades appeared around Heath’s sword, and with it as the center, a tornado was created. Heath slashed forward with his sword, bringing with it thousands of wind blades.

Boom!

The power of the rule-type spell was revealed at this moment.

The golem giant, which had not received much damage after being hit by Heath’s power for so long, was shattered into pieces with a boom. It was more than a hundred times stronger than before.

Even the Golem Puppet’s recovery ability could not heal such a level of damage. The broken stones shook on the ground for a while and soon stopped moving.

Then, with a click, something seemed to fall out from the middle of the pile of broken stones.

Heath raised his hand and waved. With a whoosh, an item flew out from the middle of the broken stones and landed in Heath’s hand.

He took a closer look and saw that it was a round metal original, covered with a circle of dense runes and grooves.

This was the core of the puppet, an indispensable item for making a metal puppet.

“It’s preserved quite well. I can save quite a bit of effort if I look back and see if it can be used.”

While thinking, Heath continued to extract as usual. ‘Extract.’

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.03]

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +2]

[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained [Golem Puppet] Blueprint Fragment.]

Eh? Blueprint fragment?

An unfamiliar piece of information surged into Heath’s mind. It was a fragment of the Golem Puppet.

“It can’t be. So lucky?”

He had just thought of getting some Golem Puppets for himself when he turned back. He did not expect to get the blueprint of the Golem Puppet after that. It was really as if god was helping him.

However, there was nothing strange about it. The system’s extraction was based on the extracted items. It was almost certain that the blueprint of the Golem Puppets would be obtained.

“A single fragment is not enough. Let’s see if we can find more Golem Puppets…”

Golem Puppets were mass-produced consumables. Most Wizards produced them in groups, not one or two.

As expected, after searching for a short while, after passing through a long corridor, Heath quickly found two Golem Puppets in a small hall on the left.

One of the Golem Puppets recovered with a series of ‘ka ka’ sounds after he approached it. The other one was probably broken and did not have any reaction.

He drew his sword, mobilized his magic power, and slashed out!

Boom!

The golem that had just recovered shattered into a pile of rubble under Heath’s wind blade.

‘Extract.’

Heath dug out the remaining broken Golem Puppet’s core. However, he didn’t know if it was damaged too badly or something else, but he tried to extract it, but he didn’t get any response.

It did not matter. There were many more here anyway.

These Golem Puppets were probably used by the master of this place as the basic guards of the hall. They were everywhere along the way. Most of them were broken due to the passage of time. However, some of them were still in operation.

Those who could recover were all cut into pieces by Heath with his sword and the core was taken away.

As he swept his way in, Heath killed dozens of Golem Puppets and gathered the blueprint of the Golem Puppets neatly.

“Hu!”

After killing the last Golem Puppet, Heath leaned on the stone pillar to sit down and rest. Although [Sword Wind] was powerful, it consumed a lot of energy. This series of battles also made Heath somewhat tired.

He took out a bottle of potion to recover his magic power from his dimensional pocket and drank it. Heath rested for a while before he finally recovered.

‘I’m already so tired after dozens of sword swings. It’s still too difficult to use a rule-type spell with the strength of a beginner Wizard.’

This feeling reminded Heath of the time when he used [Hellfire Sea] as an Apprentice. He was almost exhausted after using it.

‘I should advance to an intermediate Wizard as soon as possible!’

Heath shook off the messy thoughts in his head, stood up, and continued to explore.

At this time, he had arrived at the depths of the hall. In front of him was a long corridor with an abnormally high dome. On the left was a row of cross-shaped windows, and on the right were murals.

On the murals were group portraits of Twilight City. There were hundreds of civilians kneeling to Everett, a group of people dancing around the fire, and so on.

There was another person standing next to Everett. He looked like a human, but he had a pair of horns like Everett’s on his head, and his skin was red like Everett’s.

He seemed to be very close to Everett. Everett was holding his shoulder and receiving the worship of the people in front of him.

“I wonder what this palace used to be for?”

Although the Golem Puppets were useful, they were not cheap to build. Along the way, there were hundreds of Golem Puppets that could no longer operate, and this was only a part of the hall.

While he was thinking, Heath walked forward and soon arrived at the end of the corridor.

At the end of the corridor was a huge door. The door seemed to be made of metal, and its surface was inlaid with large rivets with complicated patterns engraved on it.

The other parts of the hall were in tatters, but the door seemed to be well-preserved.

Heath walked forward and was about to push it open:

“No.”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

“Don’t open it, Mr. Wizard, or you’ll get into big trouble.”

“No, don’t provoke the son of God…”
