The Magical Path Of The Wizard With A Biological Chip

Chapter 39: Golem vs Alligator

When the Giant Alligator King opened his mouth fully, it was even taller than an adult human. Terrifying-looking teeth were chaotically scattered across his upper and lower jaws, each resembling a sharp dagger.

"Bite!"

With its incredible biting force, this unprepared Apprentice might have been immediately torn in half.

But something surprising happened. The human Apprentice turned, throwing the Ghost Nanny in his hand directly into the Giant Alligator King’s mouth. Then, twisting and spinning in a strange way, he escaped the frightening bite of the Giant Alligator King at lightning speed.

"Splat~~"

The thin, resilient body of the Ghost Nanny was instantly torn in half, causing coagulated, foul black blood to ooze between its sharp teeth.

The Giant Alligator King let out a disgusted roar.

"Roarrrrrr~~~"

Like a demon itself, it was never picky about food. However, it would definitely refuse these neighbors without hesitation. Even from a demon’s perspective, these Ghost Nannies really stank. Only when food truly ran out would it consider eating one or two of these Ghost Nannies.

The Giant Alligator King spat out the torn body from his mouth. The next second, he spotted a fleeing human figure. He could tell that this human Apprentice couldn’t run very fast, as he was stumbling and tripping through puddles.

With a gleeful roar, it moved its gigantic body and charged forward toward its target, like a small mountain.

"Rushed footsteps~~"

Due to the terrain in this area, the Giant Alligator King actually moved faster than that human Apprentice, quickly catching up from behind.

Although he kept running, the bizarre human constantly dodged miraculously out of the path of its giant mouth. This made the Giant Alligator King even more furious, and it became increasingly reckless as this went on.

Finally, in a successful attempt, the Giant Alligator King crushed the human’s arm with a fierce bite. But strangely, there was no taste of blood or flesh in its mouth. In fact, it seemed as if it had just bitten into a mouthful of clay.

Furthermore, after the Apprentice’s cloak was torn away, it revealed that the being in front of it wasn’t a human Apprentice at all but a strange humanoid Clay Creature.

The Giant Alligator King immediately realized it had been tricked. Enraged, it pounced on the unlucky creature that had lured it here, preparing to tear it into a thousand pieces.

Now that its true identity was exposed, the Clay Golem had no need to continue acting.

Tearing off the troublesome cloak, the Golem was finally able to reveal its full power. It began to fight this clumsy Giant Alligator King in an orderly manner.

After all, the Giant Alligator King was a water demon, which meant it could move like a fish in the swamp’s muddy water. But when it came to land movement, its massive body was extremely clumsy.

With its entire body covered in hard scales, it continued pushing forward like a frenzied war machine, sending grass flying everywhere, breaking trees, and leaving a deep trail in the ground.

"Pow~~"

"Crack~~"

"Tremor~~"

But its attacks were overly focused on its head and tail.

Most of its offensive abilities could strike within a fan-shaped area around the front of its head. Within this area, its fierce bite could easily destroy an enemy. Furthermore, whenever it used its long tail to attack, it would shatter the enemy’s bones.

However, the region between its front and hind limbs was its offensive weak spot, as neither its head nor its tail could reach it. If an enemy hid within this area, it would have to slowly shift its massive body to position the enemy where it could strike.

And this cursed Golem had clearly found its weakness, as it dashed straight into that area and continued attacking its body madly.

"Bang~~"

"Bang~~"

"Bang~~"

Using its heavy and powerful fists, the Clay Golem continued pounding on the hard scales that lined the Giant Alligator King’s ribs.

In addition to physical attacks, the Clay Golem also used Mud Spear to support its offense. But all of this was useless. With its body fully covered in thick, hard scales, the Giant Alligator King didn’t even care about these ineffective blows. It simply kept twisting its body, tirelessly trying to shake off this unpleasant enemy that dared to fight so close to it.

But the Golem kept close to the Giant Alligator King, ensuring it couldn’t be struck.

The thick, resilient scales served as a defensive mechanism for the Giant Alligator King, but they also limited its offensive reach to its mouth. The enemy was so close, yet it simply couldn’t do anything.

Although the Golem was dominating from a position of advantage, Leon, who was controlling it remotely from a distance, didn’t feel pleased at all.

This wouldn’t work!

Without penetrating the enemy’s scales, there was no way the Golem could deal enough damage. If this continued, the battle would end in a stalemate, as neither side would be able to harm the other.

The Giant Alligator King was blinded by its rage now, which was why it kept fighting the Clay Golem. Once it regained its senses and returned to the swamp water, there would be no way for the Clay Golem to fight it.

Fortunately, before Leon came here, he had done a complete analysis of the Giant Alligator’s strengths and weaknesses, so he had an idea of how to defeat it. After receiving his command, the Golem stopped wasting its energy attacking the opponent’s body with its fists and began releasing ’Spikes’ under the Giant Alligator King’s body.

Most parts of the Alligator King’s body were covered with a thick layer of scales, which provided excellent protection against physical attacks. But there was one area these scales didn’t cover: its abdomen.

These spikes not only caused physical damage but also inflicted Earth Elementium damage. Since the Giant Alligator was an Earth Elementium demon, it had significant resistance to Earth Elementium damage, so it suffered no harm from this part of the spike attack.

Nevertheless, the pure physical damage still caused the Giant Alligator King pain, making it continuously groan in agony.

"Urrr~~"

Throughout the entire Magic Swamp, no demon could pierce its thick scales and attack its weak spot, and this had made it the Lord of this vast swampy land. But today, this unpleasant Golem had truly upset this king.

Only after feeling pain did the Giant Alligator King remember that it had a similar innate ability. So, with an enraged roar, a thick concentration of Earth Elementium immediately began to gather around its body.

"Mire Mire Spell!"

Leon clenched his fists tightly as he watched the Giant Alligator King’s innate ability activate. When he confirmed that it was indeed the ’Mire Spell,’ he couldn’t contain his excitement and let out a loud cheer.

Excellent! The Giant Alligator King was as good as dead now!

To be honest, if this Giant Alligator King had the innate ability to use offensive spells or those supplementary spells that could provide additional defense, Leon would have called back the Clay Golem and left immediately. But since it was only the Mire Spell, the success rate for today’s battle shot up to 70%.

As expected, just as Leon was jumping with joy, a rather amusing scene unfolded on the battlefield.

"Hahaha…"

"What a stupid creature!" Leon thought.

Less than 50 meters from the Giant Alligator King, the ground had turned into a thick, deep mire, acting like quicksand. If other creatures fought him, they might be caught off guard and trapped in the quicksand. It was a type of restriction spell that covered a large area. This, combined with his terrifying physical abilities, brought the Giant Alligator King to a dominant position in this land.

Unfortunately for him, the Clay Golem was an Earth Elementium creature!

While other creatures would be trapped by it, the Golem stood in this constantly shifting mire as if it were solid ground; nothing actually happened. It seemed as though the Golem’s heavy, solid body had suddenly lost all its weight, as it moved easily through the quicksand, showing no signs of sinking.

Thus, on this slowly shifting quicksand, an intense yet strange game of cat and mouse erupted between two Earth creatures.

The Clay Golem gave up on attacking with Mud Spear, which hadn’t caused any real damage, and continued releasing Spikes beneath its opponent’s body. On average, it could cast this once every 11 seconds. After all, Spikes was an AoE spell.

Although the Clay Golem couldn’t see the exact weak spot on the Giant Alligator King’s abdomen or gauge the attack’s effectiveness, as long as the attack was focused under the Giant Alligator King, it would be enough to hurt it.

After fifteen minutes of this intense battle, it was obvious the Giant Alligator King couldn’t hold on much longer, as its movements became slower than before.

Not only was it unable to strike the enemy, but it also continued to feel immense pain in its abdomen. This frustrating battle had left it furious. As a demon with basic intelligence, it realized that if things continued like this, it would indeed be killed by this creature.

Thus, the Giant Alligator King decided to stop bothering with this Golem. It turned its body and started moving toward a distant lake.

However, this was within Leon’s expectations. When it began to turn its body, it noticed another human blocking its retreat. Moreover, the human was holding a strange-looking object that resembled a spider.

Relying on its keen sense of smell, the Giant Alligator King sensed real blood and flesh from this obstacle. Unable to contain its rage, it let out an enraged roar. "Roarrrr!" Before the true culprit behind today’s sinister scheme, it lunged forward ferociously, planning to take down this enemy and return to its home territory.

In the next moment, a white spider web covered its head, sticking to its short, thick front paws. At the same time, a blazing fire arrow shot forth, quickly embedding itself in the upper part of its long, narrow snout.

"Zoshh~~"

This was where its head was located and also the area closest to its eyes.

The Giant Alligator King closed its eyes, and a layer of small scales appeared on its eyelids. It felt a sharp pain on its forehead as a violent flame erupted across its face.

"BOOM~~"

With its front paws tangled in spider webs and both eyes forced shut by the fire, it couldn’t see anything and had to slow down. As a result, the Clay Golem, which was accompanying it, began to increase the frequency of its attacks.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

To win this battle, Leon was almost broke.

These one-time-use spider web items weren’t cheap. Every time he used one, his heart bled. But to prevent the Giant Alligator King from escaping, he had no choice but to keep using them to restrain its legs.

The Giant Alligator King had overwhelming strength. According to Leon’s preliminary estimate, it had at least 14 in Strength. With that incredible power, each spider web could only hold it for six to seven seconds.

If it weren’t for Leon continuously attacking its eyes with Fire Arrow, preventing it from finding its way back, it might have forcefully pushed through these obstacles and returned to its lair.

Thus, with careful and precise planning, after nearly seven to eight minutes of relentless attacks, the abdomen of the Giant Alligator King was finally pierced by the Clay Golem’s Spike spell.
