The red light around the golem intensified and the Mana started to circulate faster. Pieces of rocks were attracted towards the damaged areas, repairing everything very quickly.
The monster started to move, standing up from the floor, but this time, the entire armor around it was different. Instead of only red lines, red shards were protruding out of many places, giving it a more menacing feeling.
Suddenly, the golem opened its huge mouth and made a very strange sound.
GROMMM!
The rocks and boulders in the hole area started to shake, resonating with that sound. They seemed to be trembling in excitement even though they didn't have any life.
One by one, they detached from the surface they were and started to gather in many different areas, creating a very strange scene.
Those rocks assembled together, forming arms, legs, torso and finally head. Many different five to ten meters tall golems were mounted right before everyone's eyes. Each of them contained a fragment of the aura of a Profound Mana initial-stage beast.
They were far from being as strong as the main golem, but each one of them could fight a Mana Control practitioner for some time.
A red light flashed through the eyes of all those golems at the same time, creating a terrifying scene.
Seth recognized that glow and knew what was about to come once again.
However, this time, all those golems decided to aim towards the place where the Eleventh Palace Master was.
One, two, three, ten, fifty, more than hundred laser beams cut through the air at an inconceivable speed, aiming towards the barrier protecting the Eleventh Palace Master and the rest of the youngsters.
BOOM!
The barrier withstood the initial strength behind that wave of attacks, but some cracks started to spread very quickly through its surface.
The Eleventh Palace Master stood up and channeled every single bit of Mana inside her veins to support the barrier strength. She was sure that if she was still suffering with that poison right now, everyone would already be dead.
However, even with the additional strength she put in that barrier, the cracks continued to spread.
The golems didn't stop their barrage of lasers and Seth saw that if he didn't act quickly, Caizhi's friends would die.
Seth started to circulate his darkness element and was about to execute his Shadow Walk and enter the frontline, when suddenly he felt a fresh energy that he recognized.
"Gale Force!"
The wind element in the battlefield suffered a very brute modification, turning into a fierce beast that had just woken up.
Every single golem started to levitate and the barrage immediately stopped. Those huge bodies were suspended in the air as if they were as light as a piece of paper, and just like that, they started to get torn and shredded to pieces.
What was happening, was that a master over the wind element created a huge domain where the wind was the servant, doing the what its master willed.
Elyra was flying high above the ground and her hair danced with the wind energy circulating around her. She arrived just in time to save the people inside that barrier.
Every single monster was destroyed by the fierce currents of wind that assaulted them, clearing the whole battlefield. Only the main body was able to resist her attack, but that, after getting both arms thoroughly destroyed.
The fifteen meters tall golem was raised into the air just like the others, and when the domain she had casted ended, it dropped down and didn't show any signs of making any movements.
Elyra descended slowly until she was near the people from her Allakiir family. She brought them all to reunite with everyone here.
Seth knew the golem would come back if she didn't destroy the central core. He waved towards her and shouted: "Lady Elyra! You have to destroy the dark green core inside that huge body, or else it will not die."
Just as he finished talking, the destroyed arms of that monster, started to regrow.
Elyra observed it and understood Seth's words. She didn't want to extend this fight any longer, so she activated her movement skills, appearing near the golem very quickly.
She took her sword and cut the arms that were growing once again, after that, she started to destroy the entire armor until the green core inside of it, was finally revealed.
Her blade shone in a green light and a wind slash instantly formed to destroy the core thoroughly, but suddenly, the red lines that were spreading through the golem's armor receded, protecting the core from that slash and launched it towards the air.
In a matter of a single second, it was already very high up in the sky. The red energy then crushed the core at once, releasing the energy inside it as a pulse that spread through the whole dungeon.
That pulse marked the end of that golem. The dark green core was thoroughly destroyed and it would not come back again, but its last action shocked everyone that was watching.
Deep inside their hearts, they started to feel some apprehension. A very fearful idea started to form in their minds.
That idea was something they didn't want to happen right now, since the barrier the Eleventh Palace Master created had just shattered completely and she fell on the floor unconscious.
"Master!" Xiurong supported her body and started to treat her with some pills and techniques, but she would be unconscious for a long time, since she spent all her Mana reserves.
But the people present didn't have enough time to recompose themselves, because suddenly, another Mana Control beast aura popped up from the west. Then, another aura popped up from another direction, followed by another beast aura.
ROAR!!!
A Profound Mana initial-stage Realm beast aura suddenly appeared too. Four beasts' auras locked on them, pressuring everyone.
Elyra furrowed her eyebrows and prepare to fight against them. She and Seth were the only ones able to put up a fight against beasts of such caliber.
But what she didn't know, was that Seth was motionless and seemed to be lost while daydreaming.
Just a moment ago, he felt that the action the golem took was really strange and extended His Soul Sense to the limit. However, what he saw completely shocked him.
The four beasts that were approaching this area were in a perimeter of two kilometers away from them, but they were just the tip of the iceberg. Like light to the flies, there were more than thirty beasts rushing towards them.
But what actually made him feel hopeless, was that there was a total of four Profound Mana initial-stage beasts. He was sure that Elyra could fight one or two of them alone, but four of those beasts would crush her and everyone present in just some minutes.
They were like four powerhouses of the level of the golem they had just fought with. It would be impossible to contend against them all at once.
When their auras expanded and passed through everybody present, people started to tremble in fear and the weaker ones even knelt down on the floor.
"What the heck is actually happening here?" Elyra muttered in a low voice. She was finally starting to understand the dimension of Elyon's plans.
Seth grabbed Caizhi and Rina's hands and dragged them towards the place the people were gathering. He was already preparing the talismans to secretly use it on them, if the situation got out of control.
The Mana Control beasts started to enter their field of vison, but they stopped three hundred meters away from them. They seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the other ones.
The first Profound Mana best arrived but it didn't attack immediately. Just like the others, it waited for the arrival of something.
The pressured everyone was feeling, made even their bones tremble, yet they could not even run from here.
Three more Profound Mana beasts arrived, intensifying that pressure to new heights. The Qi Realm practitioner started to feel like the entire world was in their backs. Their knees bent down and they started to feel shortness of breath.
Elyra was forced to use her Mana to relieve them from that immense pressure. Inwardly, she was alarmed though... This situation was out of her wildest expectations.
When they thought it had finished, a loud noise started to echo in the entire sky.
RUMBLE!
The artificial sky that was part of the formation, changed colors and many distortions started to appear everywhere. A heavy tempest surged with force and the silhouette of an incredible huge creature appeared in the air.
The heavy pressured that descended was able to even suppress Elyra, meaning that whatever beast that was about to appear, was at least a stage stronger than her.
Everyone looked towards the sky, that had changed to a dark shade, and if there was a word they could use to describe what they were currently seeing, it could only be despair.
