The huge rock golem thrashed everything in front of it as it seemed to be infuriated about something. Several monsters that lived inside the forest ran for their lives after witnessing a huge rock golem stomping on everything that got in its way.
Its appearance was like clusters of rocks being glued and shaped into a humanoid body structure. It was approximately 50 meters tall and acquired an enormous size. It had no facial features and only had a shining red gem stuck in its forehead.
"It's so big. Where did that golem come from?" Ganz mumbled while staring at it from afar.
"I don't recall any huge boulders lying inside the forest's vicinity." The wolf king said.
"Shit! We're doomed! I can't beat that! I can't!" Jhoemar yelled abruptly, completely terrified of the rock golem.
His body kept fidgeting, trying to escape Gabimaru's shadow-binding skill.
"Are you sure that you're a hero?" Gabimaru asked, staring pitifully at Jhoemar.
Jhoemar's tears came flooding out of his eyes as he kept jolting his body, completely desperate to escape from the shadow that prevented his movements.
"Hahaha! Look at him cry, Ganz! Kyahaha!" Gabimaru blurted out, laughing excessively while pointing his finger at Jhoemar.
Jhoemar, who once fought the [A]-Rank Minotaur that invaded the Kingdom of Villatensia and partially destroyed most of its settlements,
After facing it, he witnessed the immense gap between their strengths, which made him look like a toddler in terms of raw power.
The minotaur was considered one of the most ferocious living monsters to have lived since the world of Pandora was formed. Their race was truly terrifying and powerful, which made the Humankind; comprised of humans, elves, dwarves, and beastmen, fight together to eliminate the minotaurs. With the help of the five proclaimed gods' blessing, their ferocious minotaur subjugation ended with humankind being triumphant.
But that doesn't conclude that every minotaur that existed got killed, since most of them were able to flee and hide themselves.
Thus, Jhoemar, who fought against one of the most ancient monster race, lost his confidence after entirely seeing the gap between their strengths.
Luckily, with the help of an unknown individual who fought with him in secrecy, they won against the minotaur.
But in spite of getting help from some unknown person, Jhoemar was praised and thanked by the kingdom's citizens. Ending up with him becoming the Hero of Villatensia and acquiring the title of being an Ocean Apostle's candidate.
Thus, he felt incompetent after the battle and began relieving himself by doing cruel things. Stepping above others, forcing himself to believe that he was still superior. And ended up succumbing to his evil side and enjoying the pleasure of it.
However, after seeing the huge rock golem, he knew there was no way for him to survive unless he ran like a madman. But due to Gabimaru's skill, he wasn't able to.
"Release me! I beg of you! If that monster sees us, we are all going to die!" Jhoemar pleaded, begging Gabimaru to let him go. While Gabimaru and Ganz laughed so hard that it confused the wolf king.
"Release me, oh, I beg of you. Hahahaha!" Gabimaru imitated and mocked Jhoemar, who kept on crying for his life.
These two are pure evil." The wolf king mumbled in his head, staring at Gabimaru and Ganz, who laughed mischievously. Concluding his presumptions to be true.
But as they all took their time, the rock golem heard their laughter from afar and got irritated. It immediately threw a large rock that it pulled out of its body.
The large rock flew at an impressive speed, heading towards Gabimaru's location.
[Warning: A huge rock is heading your way.]
Gabimaru immediately stared at the sky, only to see a huge rock coming towards their position.
Jhoemar yelled in fear upon seeing the huge rock flying towards them, and without wasting any second, Gabimaru immediately cast a large spatial wormhole that sucked the huge rock in and transported it behind the rock golem.
An explosion occurred after the huge rock collided with the rock golem and instantly made the golem stumble.
Just as Jhoemar, Ganz, and the wolf king glanced at Gabimaru, he was nowhere to be found.
"Eh? Where did he go?" The wolf king mumbled.
Gabimaru transported himself in front of the rock golem that stumbled.
[Analysis Complete: Displaying Data]
[Monster: Rock Golem - High Tier]
[Level: 120]
[Monster Type: [A] Rank - Summoned Monster]
[Monster Trait: Soil Regeneration]
[Rock Golem, a summoned monster capable of destroying anything the summoner wishes.]
A summoned monster? Was it possible to summon monsters?" Gabimaru asked through thought communication.
[Answer: Yes, mages who possess immense knowledge about magic are able to conduct a summoning spell.]
[They mostly summon spirits from the spiritual realm.]
I see. Somehow they pulled off such a feat as to even drag spirits into the mortal realm. Even if I'm not that knowledgeable, I surely know what the spiritual realm is." Gabimaru pondered, thoroughly thinking about it.
The spiritual realm is the place where souls with potential reside, unlike normal souls that have no potential, are being turned into mana energy.
Those with potential end up getting transported inside the spiritual realm, cleansing their entities, removing their memories, and turning them into spirits.
Spirits possess different types of appearances based on their affiliated affinities.
[Notice: The hostility level of the Rock Golem has increased to 100%]
Just as it got up from the ground and roared loudly, Gabimaru ordered the system to release his power by 10%, immediately emitting dense black aura around his body.
[10% of the Demi-God's ability has been released.]
[Physical enhancements have been enforced.]
[Mana energy is steadily being consumed.]
The rock golem swung its arm towards Gabimaru, who stood below him. As the rock golem's punch struck the ground, the entire place shook and left cracks on the ground while smoke occurred.
Gabimaru then suddenly appeared above the rock golem, continuously falling from the sky.
The rock golem immediately raised its head and once again swung its fist upward, attempting to strike Gabimaru.
Just as the rock golem's punch was about to hit him, Gabimaru instantly performed a punching stance and punched the rock golem's fist.
A shockwave occurred after both of their fists collided, causing a massive ripple effect in the forest that even reached the village's location.
The rock golem's hand instantly shattered into bits as its remnants fell onto the forest and mostly destroyed the trees it crashed into.
Gabimaru smirked and immediately transported himself in front of the rock golem's face and punched it downward. Causing the ground it stood on to crumble and bend. The rock golem could not move due to its feet being stuck in the surface after receiving Gabimaru's punch.
It jolted its body, attempting to break free from the ground that prevented its movements. However, it failed and stumbled again on the ground, causing a mist of dust to occur.
[Notice: The rock golem is planning to absorb the soil and regenerate itself.]
[I hereby advise you to immediately destroy its spiritual vessel, which is the intact red gem at its forehead.]
Gabimaru nodded and didn't let the rock golem regenerate itself. With Gabimaru's extreme speed, he immediately appeared in front of the rock golem's head, fully utilized his overwhelming strength, and punched the rock golem's spiritual vessel.
Causing it to shatter in an instant, turning its body into clusters of rocks that got scattered all over the forest.
[Notice: The Rock Golem has been eliminated.]

"Hmm... I wonder where's the summoner?" Gabimaru mumbled while wiping off the dust that got stuck on his cloak.
[Activating Omniscient Eyes]
[Scanning Area...]
[Locating the individual that summoned the Rock Golem]
[Scan Complete: The mage has used a teleportation scroll to transport himself back to his kingdom.]
[The mage that imbued his mana energy onto the spiritual vessel is currently inside the vicinity of a large kingdom in the north.]
[Would you like to use a spatial wormhole to transport yourself to the target's location?]
[Y/N]
No. I'm not really interested in him. Just let him be since he already left anyway." Gabimaru stated, telling himself to let the mage go since he's already gone.
Gabimaru then transported himself back to where Ganz and the others were located.
Jhoemar and the wolf king were sitting on their knees, while Ganz stood behind them. As if they were being monitored.
The villagers regained consciousness and were utterly clueless as to what had happened. The only thing they remembered was that Gabimaru and Jhoemar were arguing.
But they did not bother asking after seeing Jhoemar being submissive as he sweated profusely with a terrified look on his face.
"Boss! You've returned." Ganz spoke loudly, Happy to see Gabimaru's arrival.
"Yes, and why haven't you both eaten that bastard yet?" Gabimaru asked, staring intently at the horrified Jhoemar.
"Boss, he said that he has something to ask you." Ganz responded, tapping Jhoemar's head.
Jhoemar kept flinching at every tap of Ganz's hand.
"Huh? Just eat him. I don't need to talk with him." Gabimaru stated while flinging his hand.
Jhoemar instantly groveled and held onto Gabimaru's feet, saying, "Please forgive me, senior apostle! I didn't know that you were an apostle! Please forgive my rude actions towards your greatness!" He begged, pleading for his life to be spared.
"Apostle?" Gabimaru mumbled.
"Yes, senior apostle! I know you are an apostle of the goddess of the ocean, Fishka Poseidon! Having to witness your immense power, I knew that you were an apostle, even if you were hiding your identity. Please forgive this junior candidate of yours!" Jhoemar said this loudly while tightly holding Gabimaru's feet.
Goddess of the ocean? Fishka Poseidon?" Gabimaru wondered while the system reported.
[Notice: It must be the Demi-God of the Ocean, Blue.]
[Who had been reduced to a mortal and proclaimed as the new god of this world.]
[Demi-God: Blue must have named himself and created propaganda; the Ocean Apostles]
Eh? But why does this bastard call blue the goddess? I assume that demi-gods have the form of a male body structure." Gabimaru responded through thought communication.
[Answer: The demi-god blue must have altered himself and converted his entire entity into a female, thus removing him from the potential god candidacy.]
I see. So this bastard knows about blue. I must ask him some questions first. Keke." Gabimaru mumbled in his head, grinning maliciously at Jhoemar, who felt terrified after seeing Gabimaru's horrifying smile.
