The footsteps became clearer, accompanied by a heavy, metallic sound. A tall silhouette appeared in the darkness. It was as tall as two people and as wide as a wall. Then, a cold, metallic human face appeared in the shadows. The face was expressionless, and half of its face was covered with crystals. The crystals extended from its neck all the way to its shoulder, forming a huge tumor-like object. It wore a long cloak, and the metal strips of the cloak hung down to the ground. A steel-like hand reached out from under the cloak, holding a bronze staff as thick as an adult's arm.
The monster stopped not far away from Brendel, and the position where it stopped made Brendel cursed inwardly, because it was standing right next to the Halran Gaia that flew out. After the monster stopped, Orthlyss and Brando heard a rhythmic ticking sound coming from its body. The ticking sound was like the beating of a heart. It was the sound of a pendulum. Under the cloak was a huge pendulum, like a clockwork that controlled the monster's movements.
This was the guardian of the Tower of Babel, a Lv 92 Pendulum Golem. Brando's expression changed. Babel Fortress was thousands of miles away. How could a monster like the Pendulum Golem appear here? Was the world in chaos? Furthermore, the Tower of Babel was updated in the seventh patch. With the Pendulum Golem's current strength, it was one of the strongest in Kirrlutz. In the Last of Blossoms era, even three Veronicas would not be a match for it.
Brando could not help but gulp.
Orthlyss did not seem to recognize this monster. She instinctively felt that it did not come with good intentions. She noticed the slight change in Brando's heart and asked, "You know this thing?"
"This is a Pendulum Golem." He was speechless, not knowing how to describe its strength. "In short, it's very, very powerful. We are far from its match. The only good thing is that it's a magic puppet and cannot activate its Elemental Energy. Do you have any way to escape?"
"Don't think of me as a savior. It won't help your growth." Orthlyss replied in a huff.
What's the point of thinking about growth now? If we can't escape, we'll all die here, Brando thought to himself.
But the Pendulum Golem did not seem to notice Brendel, or rather, it was as if it did not see him. It looked coldly at the Halran Gaia on the ground, reached out its hand, and a chain came out from under its cloak, wrapped around the Halran Gaia, and threw it over from afar. The Halran Gaia landed beside Brando's feet with a clang and spun around. Brando was stunned. What was the meaning of this? Could it be that the Pendulum Golem still believed in the Knight's Spirit and would not kill unarmed enemies?
Did that mean that everything would be fine as long as he didn't pick up the sword? Brando could not help but fantasize. However, the Pendulum Golem in front of him was no ordinary Pendulum Golem. Its most eye-catching features were the crystals on its face and shoulders. Normal Pendulum Golems did not have such unique ornaments. However, this was not good news for Brando. Whether it was an Elite or a Boss monster, neither was something he could handle.
To be honest, he could not even defeat a normal Boss monster.
The Pendulum Golem threw the Halran Gaia to Brando's feet and spoke with a cold, metallic tone, "So you're an apprentice Planeswalker, and you still use this kind of thing. How boring."
"What the …" Brando felt like crying. The Halran Gaia was being looked down upon. However, he still picked up the sword. He could not defeat this thing anyway, so there was no need for it to use any tricks against him. "You're a Planeswalker?"
"Seems like you still don't understand. A Planeswalker is a powerful existence that uses the realm as a chessboard. There is no need to rely on such weak things," the Pendulum Golem ignored him and pointed at the sword in his hand. "I am not a Planeswalker, but I follow the great master. His power is unimaginable."
As it spoke, it waved its bronze scepter. A card appeared out of thin air and opened a door of light. From the door, a group of Puppet Swordsmen walked out. These Puppet Swordsmen's bodies glowed with a bronze luster. Their limbs and torso were densely packed with rivets. They held flowery swords in their hands and carried a large clockwork on their backs. There were more than twenty of them. As soon as they appeared, the Pendulum Golem waved its bronze scepter. "Attack! Chase away the invaders! "
"Saying you're not a Planeswalker while using the Card of Fate. Where is the justice? Where is the law? " Brando cursed in his heart and quickly retreated. These puppets were called Clockwork Swordsmen. They were only Level 40 monsters, but there were too many of them. Moreover, there was a Pendulum Golem behind them that looked like a Planeswalker. Brando did not dare to fight and quickly retreated.
However, the Pendulum Golem snorted coldly. "Duel of Fate."
It slammed its bronze scepter on the ground. With a loud bang, a card fell from the sky and drew a circle of light on the ground. Brando's speed was extremely fast. He just happened to hit the edge of the circle of light. With a loud bang, blood flowed out of his head.
Brando saw stars and almost fainted. However, he immediately received a notification: Duel of Fate. Before the winner of the duel is determined, entering or leaving the duel is prohibited. Although he was dizzy, his reaction was extremely fast. He immediately shouted like a hoodlum, "I admit defeat!"
Unexpectedly, the circle of light flashed for a moment and then completely dimmed.
"That works?" Even the Pendulum Golem was stunned.
"You …" Orthlyss, who had been watching from the sidelines, was speechless. "You … Don't tell anyone that I know you. It's too embarrassing."
Brando's face also turned red. However, survival was more important at this moment. He scrambled out of the circle of light. Behind him, the Pendulum Golem coldly shouted, "Idiot, the path to the surface has been sealed. Where can you run to?" When Brando heard this, he suddenly remembered that there was such a thing. His heart sank. However, he was not someone who would give up easily. He immediately rolled to the side and hid behind a pillar. He took a few deep breaths.
"What do you plan to do?" Orthlyss, who had been watching from the sidelines, asked calmly.
"What else can I do? Should I play hide-and-seek with it and wait for The Shire to dig in?"
Orthlyss rolled her eyes. "You don't know the terrain as well as it does. Besides, its profession is similar to yours. Aren't you afraid that it will summon some strange creatures? No matter how big this place is, it won't be able to hold hundreds of creatures searching at once."
"You're right." Brando nodded. He was just joking to ease the tension. If not, he would have died from the tension. He thought for a moment and said, "I guess I'll just have to fight it."
"How?" Orthlyss asked curiously.
"It's a Planeswalker. I'll use a Planeswalker's method to fight it. Hmph, even though that monster is strong, its summoned creatures aren't anything special. Once I destroy them, I'll play hide-and-seek with it however I want. " Even though Brando said that he was going to fight it, his plan was carefully thought out. Orthlyss could not find any fault with it, so she nodded.
Brando immediately checked his cards. However, he could not help but grumble inwardly. To be honest, he did not have many cards that he could use. The main cards that he used in the Loop of Trade Winds were the Wind Spirit Spiders, the Fireclaw Lizards, and the Fire Djinn. Even the Pristine Archangel was lying there quietly. He could not help but curse Andesha.
He still had the Silver Fairy Princess, Metisha, the Highland Wizard, the Mephistopheles, and the Mercenaries of Lopes. He could not summon them into the game because he had not reached the reset stage yet. In fact, other than these cards, he did not have many cards that he could use.
First, there were six cards in his hand (Sun Blade had already been used). The remaining cards were Energy Loss, Sprint Drive, Golden Battle Flag, Rune Summoner, Graveyard Resurrection, and two Bloodline cards — Night Lord and Vampire Baron. Apart from the Eternal Orb, the other cards on the field were either related to resources or supplementary cards, which were basically useless.
He thought for a while and decided to summon the Night Lord. It was a level 35 Elite, which was at least the same level as Metisha. Moreover, it was a rare silver card.
His Dark Elemental Pool was basically full. After leveling up in the Dark Forest, he had a total of 30 Dark Elemental Points. After paying 15 Dark Elemental Points and displaying the card, a cloud of dark dust appeared in front of him. The girl was so beautiful that she did not seem human. Although she was not human in the first place, the vampire girl's skin was as white as snow. Her long black hair shone like obsidian. Her lips were as red as blood, and her eyelashes were slightly closed as if she was in a state of deep sleep. Her body had the most perfect curves. Although it was far from being breathtaking, it gave people a strange feeling of being more and more beautiful.
The girl opened her eyes, and a pair of cold red eyes stared coldly at Brando.
She clasped her hands together, and the black smoke gathered again and wrapped around her body, forming a tight black evening dress. The dress was tucked in at the bottom, forming a bell-shaped skirt. Brando was stunned. He almost blurted out, "Beautiful lady, are you sure you can dress like this in battle?"
But the girl was one step ahead of him. She frowned impatiently and said, "Tell me, where is the enemy?"
Of course, the enemy was behind them. At this time, the Pendulum Golem behind the pillar did not seem to notice Brando's movements. It was still commanding the twenty or so Clockwork Swordsmen to move forward, forming a net to search for them. It also summoned a mechanical ball made of gears that floated in the air. Brando did not immediately recognize what it was, but he was sure that it was not something that would benefit him. He pointed in a direction and said to the vampire girl in front of him, "Those Clockwork Swordsmen, I'll attract their attention. You can ambush them from the side. Kill as many as you can. Any questions?"
"Okay," the girl replied simply.
"What's your name?" Brando suddenly asked.
"My name is Andrique. My family name is Demetrius. Remember, I don't want to repeat the same thing twice." The girl looked at him and replied coldly.
"This girl is interesting," Orthlyss suddenly said in his mind.
Brando smiled bitterly.
