Chapter 336 - A Vortex!
Chapter 336 - A Vortex!
He kept making arrows and checking the outside state now and then for three hours. At the fourth hour, the Golam had already crossed the border of his city walls.
And at this moment, the entire city trembled. The Golam felt the danger it was dragged to, yet it couldn't do anything at this moment. Its body wasn't controlled by its will anymore, and then it only stood there watching the pillars shining one after another.
"So they are instantly activated with no my help?" Arthur was speechless for a moment there before chuckling. "This is better, at least I made quite some arrows to sustain me for now," he shook his head with a big smile.
He was happy that the pillars didn't need his intervention to be activated. But the issue here wasn't about activating the pillar anymore, but about what to do about the Golam when it exploded!
"We need more chains and machines then," he didn't delay entering his garden to meet Agnus.
The youth was already immersed in modifying the machines. He already had a hundred of them, or even more. When Arthur showed up again in front of him, he was greatly astonished by this scene.
"Lord, do you want more? I made all these just in case."
Arthur smiled in pride, as this Agnus was really a man he could depend on. "Do you have any idea how to make these machines work on their own?" he suddenly asked, as this thought just popped up in his mind.
"On their own?" Agnus stopped working as he raised his head to glance at Arthur. "This is quite challenging," he smiled before adding, "but I like it. Give me a couple of hours before I can find something that can be done."
Arthur's smile went bigger as he said, "I also want large and long strong chains."
"I will let others do this while thinking about how to make these machines work on their own."
"Great, you have three hours top. Make sure to find a solution before that."
"I will."
Arthur then opened his eyes to return to the actual world, where he found the Golam had already crossed entirely the border of his city.
The pillars were all now shining in bright white and dark light, mixed together. He knew something was going to happen, but he didn't know what it was.
In the next minutes no new changes occurred, yet after ten minutes, each pillar emitted a long curved pillar of mixed light. Five hundred lights gathered up above the Golam, and a huge vortex started to show up.
"What is this aura?" even Arthur felt dreadful from such vortex. Despite feeling such a danger, he didn't move. He knew this wasn't aimed at him or his city, it was targeting the Golam.
The Golam felt this familiar aura, and it knew exactly what it was. it didn't have any will to move even a finger or even scream.
It wasn't the only one here to recognize this aura, as the giant beauty muttered in disbelief: "Are you summoning the aura of the guardian?"
The question she asked was perfectly heard by Arthur, who just shrugged as he had no clue or say about this.
He didn't know what even an aura of a guardian meant.
"System?" he asked, and this time the system replied for his concerns.
"Ding! This vortex is connected to the legendary graveyard where many guardians fell. It's strange and unexpected, yet I believe this will give you a significant benefit."
"Me? I think this will serve the master on the other side of this vortex!"
"Ding! You didn't get it, don't you? This vortex is connected to a barren world, with no life and all death there."
Arthur glanced at the slowly expanding vortex before feeling lost. "Do you mean my city will absorb this energy as a whole? Then what the vortex is here for?"
"Ding! The vortex is absorbing the energy, channeling it into something that belonged to you."
"Me? What is it?" Arthur was speechless as he understood nothing the system talked about. He checked everything he had to find nothing abnormal going on right now.
"Are you sure about that?" he asked again, and this time the system went all silent for quite long minutes before returning to say:
"Ding! It's happening in a few hours, so we will see."
As the system said that, changes occurred to the Golam. Its gigantic body started to dissolve slowly from the outer surface as its tough skin showed signs of decay.
Particles rose slow towards the vortex, creating a minor dust storm. It seemed like the vortex was eating away the Golam, which made the giant beauty even perplexed and worried. "My Golam!" she screamed, yet she didn't know what to do.
"Stop this already!" she hurried to shout at Arthur, who just shrugged as he replied, "I have no say at that anymore. The Golam is totally fixed to the ground!"
He wasn't lying, as from the moment this vortex appeared, his chains never pulled the Golam's body an inch further!
"It's my Golam! It's not fair for you to take it as a whole like this! This is a steal!"
"If you stepped in and helped my city, none of this would happen!"
"Don't throw this on me; this is your city, not mine!"
"Tsk, anyway, what happened can't be changed. Cross fingers that some will remain for you to take."
She gritted her white teeth before she moved her eyes towards another direction. "Retract your sword now, I will take all this blood."
She said in a tone that didn't allow any room for negotiations. "Are you sure? This blood is the main explosive thing in this Golam. If you didn't take it, or failed to control it, then we all will be doomed!"
"I can handle it. Just move your glutinous sword away."
Arthur sneered before he then walked, very slowly and casually, towards the blood pond.. "Can't you call it directly? Can't you even run?" she was really at the edge of losing her mind here, and he just shrugged and said nothing.
