Galadriel Castle(Part-1)

Xavier trailed behind them, as the gas released by these plants seemed to corrode everything it came into contact with. Even then, this type of poisonous gas will not work on him as he does not have blood or organs unless it can affect the spirit and soul of the target, but he will still not take any risk and quietly follow the mercenary group.

"Move, move! They ran forward at a fast speed, but the poisonous gas was not the only trouble they had to face, as suddenly, ahead of them, a large magic circle appeared, which was glowing with golden light.

"What's that?"

They immediately noticed the magic circle.

"Grr! Grr!" From the glowing magic circle, slowly, a gigantic behemoth made of stones five metres tall came out of the magic circle, stopping them from moving ahead.

"Golem!"

They looked at the behemoth stone figure and instantly understood it was an 'Earth golem', an artificial creature made by a mage.

"Attack!"

Instantly among them, two took out their bows and arrows to quickly shoot this golem, as they did not have time to waste.

The arrow was made of a special material that increased its destructive power, and many archers used it to hurt strong monster beasts.

Just like that, these two arrows that were already deadly and could penetrate strong monsters with high defence were used by these two archers with full strength to try to destroy it in one hit.

Golems are usually slow and have rigid movement because of their size, and this golem is no different, as it seems to be unable to dodge those arrows as they directly penetrate its chest.

Zzzz , Bang! Bang!

Destroying its chest area, creating a large enough hole to see through it, and dimming the glow in its eyes.

"Yes, we got it," but before they had a chance to feel happy, many similar summoning magic circles appeared in front of them, and like before, one after another golem appeared in front of them. Even the defeated golem's eyes glowed with red light, and slowly, the big hole in his chest healed.

"What the F**k!"

"What Just Happened?"

Xavier from behind also saw this and felt the problem with those golems.

Because of his high spirit, he can feel the flow of mana more efficiently, as a great amount of mana is flowing from underground to these Earth golem's bodies, and they might continue to regenerate unless somehow they can cut its source.

The mercenary group's expression became grave, as things were becoming troublesome, but they did not stop their attacks and wanted to break through their defence line quickly and enter the castle.

All the golems quickly attacked the mercenary group, and all of them immediately started to use their skills to defeat these golems. But these golems were not easy to defeat as only their strongest attack could damage them, but they would quickly restore themselves.

They did not have time; as slowly, the poisonous gas seemed to be coming from behind.

Xavier also took advantage of the fact that they were engaged in battle, leaving this group behind and silently approaching the castle's main gate.

He was thinking about how to open it and touch it, but just as he was thinking, the gate glowed with bright light and opened on its own.

Szzz!

"Ohh!" with the burst of a dense natural aura.

This caught the eyes of the mercenaries, who were still battling the immortal golems with their full strength.

"No, something happened."

"Someone ahead of us entered the castle."

They understood they did not notice someone ahead of them; this person must be following them without their knowledge, and he took this chance as they faced these golems.

"Damm it! Which bastard was this?"

The leader of the mercenary group shouted in anger as someone took advantage of them.

Xavier did not hear the angry roar of the mercenary leader, as now he had entered the castle, and he could see a long corridor with hundreds of statues of soldiers with armour swords on both sides of it.

He was looking around, trying to figure out this place, as he was feeling a little anxious with so many statues, as they might start moving.

But after a few minutes of looking around and moving ahead, nothing happened, which made him feel better. But the moment he thought that things changed, he felt a burst of mana from deep inside the castle, which seemed to have kicked in the safety measures of this castle, and instantly the statues of soldiers around him started to move.

Seeing this, he could not help but curse his crow mouth. He did not think much but quickly took out his God-killing spear and looked at the soldier statues that surrounded him.

They all have different weapons in their hands; some are holding swords and spears. There were also some with unpopular weapons like axes, knuckles, or claw-like weapons.

A moment ago, he felt a large amount of mana burst within the castle, which started the safety mechanism. This statue should be similar to golems outside and would not die unless its mana source was destroyed.

Let's see what you guys made of."

He did not try any fanciful skills; he used his God-killing spear and thrust it with fast speed and strength to destroy one or two statues, making his way towards the source of all of this.

As he was running, he looked back as the destroyed statues were restoring themselves, but he noticed that their regeneration was a few times slower than the golems outside.

He wasn't sure if it was because of his god-killing spear or for some other reason the restoration was slower, but it was still good news, as in dangerous moments, a few seconds can be critical.

He was running at a fast speed, as many statues continued their attack on his way, but he suddenly had to stop.
