280 Elemental Pact

I was at the automaton's feet when Rimbaldi's voice echoed through the spacious chamber once more. "You come here with your magic and your precious treasures, thinking you can beat me?" He burst into a shrill laughter. "You can't beat science, you fools! Let me show you what my machines are really capable of!" 

The automaton's metallic feet emitted a deafening cracking noise. Something whirred behind the vines that covered the machine's legs. What I saw next made me cut the energy I supplied to the vines to keep a tight hold over the automaton. Circular saws whirled as though powered by magic. They cut the vines and allowed the machine to regain its mobility. 

Its eyes flashed as they landed on me. I heard Rimbaldi's shrill laughter. Then the automaton's feet began gliding over the surface. I saw gigantic wheels sprout out from the base of the machine's legs. They were all connected to each other using a wide metallic belt.
