Once the Golem understood the Ancient Eyes, it slowly closed its eyes and tried to use its spiritual force to control the boundless energy around it.
There were no obstructions, and all the energy was perfectly controlled by the Golem.
This was the first time the Golem had been able to control so much energy that it had reached the level of an official Magus. Even the Golem, who had always been known for its restraint, could not help but reveal an expression of indulgence.
With a thought, the Golem mobilized a trace of the surging energy.
This trace of energy, under the Golem's command, turned into a blood-red arrow.
The Golem waved its hand, and the arrow turned into a streak of blood-red light, rushing towards Wa Yi.
Wa Yi subconsciously wanted to dodge, but just as he moved, he found that something was wrong. His movements were much slower than before, as if his body had sunk into a quagmire and was covered in mud. Although he could move, his strength was at least half as fast as before.
At such a speed, Wa Yi had no way of dodging the blood-red arrow.
Wa Yi made a prompt decision and sank into the ground. Even so, the speed of sinking was much slower than before.
Wa Yi gritted his teeth and set up a Stone Prison spell around him. Like a stone coffin, the Stone Prison spell covered Wa Yi tightly and sank into the ground along with him.
The moment Wa Yi's body completely sank into the ground, the arrow arrived. With a huge explosion, a crack appeared on the floor of the arena.
But very quickly, the cracks on the floor of the arena began to repair themselves. A few seconds later, the floor was as clean as new.
At this moment, Wa Yi drilled out from the ground not far away.
When he drilled out, he happened to see the floor in the distance gradually repairing itself.
As an Earth Acolyte, Wa Yi was very familiar with the material of the arena. It was a type of stone that could only be broken by an official Magus with all his strength.
But the Golem had only casually shot out a blood arrow, and it had already cracked the ground. This showed that the energy the Golem controlled was close to that of a Magus!
And this blood-red arrow was only a drop in the ocean of energy around the Golem. It could be imagined that if the Golem increased its control of energy, it could definitely reach the level of a Magus.
Thinking of this, Wa Yi's expression became somewhat heavy.
"Do you really think you can disappear from my lock so easily? This is just a warning. "The voice of the demonic elephant came from afar.
What the golem meant was that Wa Yi's successful escape was actually due to his leniency. That wasn't a lie. Wa Yi had dodged the arrow at the perfect moment, and it looked like he was in imminent peril. Under normal circumstances, Wa Yi wouldn't have found this difficult. However, Wa Yi was under the influence of an unknown energy, and he couldn't fully control his body. Yet, he was still able to dodge the arrow. This was clearly too much of a coincidence.
The Golem said that it was his warning, and Vay believed it.
As for the golem's intentions, Wa Yi could also see that it was trying to intimidate and persuade them to surrender. What he meant was that he was magnanimous this time, but he wouldn't be so polite next time. Therefore, it was best for Wa Yi to admit defeat now. Otherwise, he would have to bear the consequences later.
If it was in the past, Wa Yi might have been persuaded by the Golem's words. However, at this moment, Wa Yi had just experienced the near-death experience of the mycelium larvae gushing out in front of everyone. Furthermore, he had landed in the center of the arena with his head on the ground and his back facing the sky. His anger and shame had already surpassed his rationality.
When emotions overtook rationality, people would often act impulsively. Wa Yi was the same. However, his impulsiveness didn't mean that he had completely lost his rationality. He still had a certain level of judgment.
If the Golem was controlling the energy of a truth-finder Wizard, Wa Yi would have chosen to surrender without hesitation. So what if his emotions got the better of him? His life was more important!
Now that Wa Yi didn't choose to retreat, it meant that he still had a chance to win.
On the other side, after the Golem issued the warning, it paid attention to Wa Yi's actions. Seeing that Wa Yi's expression didn't show any fear, it sighed in its heart. Without hesitation, it once again manipulated the majestic energy around it.
This time, the Golem didn't just manipulate a little bit like before. Instead, it mobilized nearly 60% of the energy around it.
It wasn't that the Golem didn't want to continue, but 60% was already the limit of what it could mobilize.
Under the Golem's control, the energy slowly condensed.
In the end, it turned into a blood-red light and merged into the Golem's only eye.
The red light in the Eye of the Ancient Mysteries flowed. It looked shiny and had a dreamy beauty to it. However, this beauty didn't represent brilliance. It represented danger, fatal danger.
Even though the red light in the Eye of the Ancient Mysteries hadn't been released yet, Wa Yi already had a feeling of fear. Moreover, the feeling of stagnation around him was getting worse.
Seeing that Wa Yi was suppressed by a powerful force and couldn't move, the Golem muttered in a low voice, "So weak. Don't you think it's a pity to die here?"
Wa Yi could speak, but he didn't say anything. He also didn't have any intention of retreating. Instead, he continued to stare at the Golem.
The Golem said, "Since you insist on dying, then … Feel the grace of the Death Ray!"
The moment its voice fell, the red light in the Eye of the Ancient Mysteries shone brightly …
… …
Below the arena, the Shepherd watched the confrontation between the Golem and Wa Yi with a frown. For some reason, the Shepherd felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere on the arena.
However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
Until the Golem said that sentence.
— — So weak. Don't you think it's a pity to die here?
The Shepherd suddenly raised his head and looked at the evil woman. "He's not the Golem?"
The evil woman's expression was gloomy. She glanced at the Shepherd and coldly said, "He is."
"No, he's not the Golem. The Golem wouldn't say such a thing! "The Shepherd's face was full of doubt.
On the side, Gui Ying and Fen Mo heard the Shepherd's words and also felt that something was wrong. They had been with the Golem for many years. How could they not know what kind of personality the Golem had?
Calm, honest, and … steady.
It could be said that the Golem played the role of a "big brother" among them. When everyone was in a panic or when there was a conflict, he could calm everyone down and then calmly analyze the situation. Finally, he gave his own opinion.
Even if the Golem's opinion might not be satisfactory to everyone, it was definitely the most balanced. It was like a common denominator that everyone could grit their teeth and accept.
The Golem was such a "good guy".
In everyone's heart, including the Shepherd's, it was the most stable and most trustworthy backer.
But now, when the Golem was fighting Wa Yi in the arena, his behavior was not like the Golem at all. At the beginning, it was still alright. At least he had a bit of rationality. But now, it was as if he had completely changed. Not only was he radical, but he also had a high and mighty contempt.
Moreover, the Golem had directly said "Don't you think it's a pity to die here?", which meant that the Golem really wanted to kill.
The Golem was facing Noah's descendants!
When the Golem faced a wandering Magus, it would always consider the consequences. If it could solve the problem peacefully, it would. But now, when facing Noah's descendants, it did not consider the consequences and did not leave a way out for itself. This was not a "Golem" at all.
Just like what the Shepherd said, Fen Mo and Gui Ying also felt that the Golem on the stage was really a Golem.
Faced with the Shepherd's doubts, as well as Fen Mo and Gui Ying's doubtful gazes, the evil woman sneered and looked as if she was too lazy to explain.
The Witch's attitude made everyone feel suffocated. But there was nothing they could do. That was just how the woman was. She did not want to talk to people when she was in a good mood, and even more so when she was not.
The Shepherd exhaled deeply and turned to look at the gray merchant, trying to get an answer from him.
Gray Merchant did not want to answer at first. But when he saw the earnest looks from the three apprentices, he, who had yet to regain his cold memories, softened his heart.
Gray Merchant considered for a moment and said, "She didn't lie to you. He's a Golem."
"But a Golem wouldn't act so rashly," Fen Mo also spoke up.
Gray Merchant hesitated for two seconds. "People have many sides. What you see may not be the truth. This Golem might not be a fake either. "
…
On the other side of the arena.
"What do you think?" Dorcas put a hand on Angor's shoulder. Under Angor's puzzled gaze, Dorcas secretly pointed at Gray Merchant's group.
Gray Merchant's group did not talk through their Spirit Bond, so Angor and Fen Mo heard it too.
Angor glanced at Gray Merchant's group and shook his head. "Gray Merchant's right. People have many sides."
"Be that as it may," Dorcas said, "it's not easy to find the side hidden in the deepest part of a person's heart."
Angor did not say anything. They had eavesdropped on their conversation. Gray Merchant and the others also heard their conversation. They all looked at them.
Angor did not want to expose his identity, so he chose to remain silent.
However, Dorcas did not notice it at all. Despite being stared at by others, he still kept talking. "This Golem … should be useless, right?"
Angor did not know what to say.
"Even if he won, he's useless now." Dorcas clicked his tongue. "Poor thing. He got tricked by his own wizard."
Dorcas's words made the evil woman raise her head abruptly and glare at Dorcas fiercely.
Dorcas did not care. He kept talking to himself. "Children who don't know how valuable a treasure is can be. But if it were an adult, after experiencing the charm of the treasure, the glory and convenience it brings, it would be difficult for them to return to the days when their pockets were empty. "
"Adults like that are probably useless now."
Although Dorcas didn't directly mention the name, he didn't beat around the bush either. He directly pointed out a simple principle.
The Shepherd was still wondering why the Golem Golem did not look like one anymore. Now, he understood what was going on.
Imagine an apprentice who could control wizard-level energy with a spirit as tiny as a grain of sand. Such a huge contrast could easily make an apprentice with poor self-control lose his or her sense of power.
Outsiders would not be able to understand such a feeling. It was just an "early consumption voucher". Why did the apprentice get confused?
The answer was simple enough.
The longer an apprentice took to become a wizard, the harder it would be for him or her to become a wizard. Time would not only erode his or her lifespan, but it would also fill his or her mind with complicated thoughts.
It could be said that before becoming an official Sorcerer, every day, every step, every choice, and every battle was an obstacle to becoming an official Sorcerer. Once you overcome them, you would return to your pure heart and never become complicated again.
But if you could not overcome them, your potential would be exhausted and you would turn into a pile of bones.
The Golem Golem experienced the powerful control of the Eyes of Ancient Mysteries. Then, his heart was corroded by a poison called "I was once incomparably powerful."
It was not easy to get rid of such a poison. Losing one's sense of power, or in other words, being confused about power, was the biggest barrier to becoming a wizard.
If one wanted to break through it, one had to have great willpower or experience wizard-level power every day to normalize it. Only then would it be possible to not get lost and walk down the wrong path.
However, these two methods were not easy to achieve. The latter was ruled out. The only way was to train one's willpower.
But training one's willpower was also difficult for the Golem Golem.
The wizard-level power used by the Golem Golem did not come from the outside world, not from magic scrolls, not from magic arrays, and not from potions without side effects. It came from his own body.
It was the ownerless organ that gave the Golem Golem such an experience.
Even if the ownerless organ could only be used once, it could be integrated into the Golem Golem's body. It belonged to the Golem Golem.
When he used the ownerless organ's ability, he fell into a state of confusion about his own power. This was very important.
Then, the willpower he needed to train had to exceed the sense of confusion that the ownerless organ could give him.
In other words, if the Golem Golem wanted to break through the barrier, his willpower would have to be strong enough to control wizard-level power.
If he could not do it, then the Golem Golem would be useless.
In fact, could the Golem Golem do it? Personally, Dorcas felt that it was impossible. That was why he said directly that he was useless.
As for the sentence he added, "I was cheated by my own wizard."
Actually, it was not wrong. But his purpose was not to feel bad for the Golem Golem, but purely to sow discord between the apprentices and wizards.
As for whether he could succeed or not, Dorcas did not care. Anyway, he just wanted to disgust that witch called the evil woman.
Dorcas wanted to add a few more words, but at this moment, the situation on the field entered a state of crisis.
The Golem Golem integrated all the energy it could control into the Eyes of Ancient Mysteries, turning it into a beam of Death Ray.
The speed of the Death Ray was extremely fast, more than twice as fast as the arrow that the Golem Golem had casually simulated!
Within the range of the Death Ray, all matter and energy were suppressed, which made Wa Yi's speed almost as slow as a turtle's crawl.
As a result, Wa Yi had no room to dodge.
The Golem Golem had no intention of stopping. Its single eye was scarlet, and the thrill of being about to kill a descendant of Noah made the Golem Golem tremble all over, but it was also incomparably exhilarating.
At such a close distance, the Death Ray was like a flash of lightning.
Wa Yi had no time to defend himself.
With a whoosh, the Death Ray passed through Wa Yi's body …
