Chapter 262 The Evil Power of the Cult Leader
When you look at it from a distance, you can already feel the enormity of this golem.
As we got closer, we felt its overwhelming momentum even more.
It was like a fortified city moving towards us.
Rand confirmed that the weapons of the gathered warriors were coated with alchemical reagents.
"Shoot!" Rand ordered.
Arrows and crossbow bolts soaked in alchemical reagents were shot densely at the core of the iron golem.
Most of the projectiles were bounced off, but a few were able to penetrate into the golem armor made of magic steel with the help of alchemical reagents.
There are also a few among the few who are able to break through the armor and hit the core inside.
For example, the small wooden arrows shot by Lisa.
But this level of damage is nothing to this huge steel golem.
The energy core in the golem's chest glows orange-yellow.
Then, the golem's mouth opened, and an even more brilliant light emanated from its mouth.
There was actually a ranged attack. Rand shouted, "Ellie!"
Ellie activated the interference gem the moment Rand finished speaking.
As the gem was activated, under the nervous gaze of everyone, the speed of this super-giant steel golem that looked like a mobile fortress suddenly stopped.
The energy core that originally emitted a yellow glow dimmed.
The brilliant light on the golem's mouth also dimmed.
The golem's movements came to a complete halt.
Then, under the influence of inertia, he fell forward.
The falling golem brought even more violent shock, and the surrounding trees collapsed.
The smoke and dust raised by the wind rolled in, covering the sky and the sun.
"Close combat, go up and try it." Since the golem had already fallen to the ground, no one felt afraid.
All the melee professionals rushed forward.
Unfortunately, the damage caused is similar to that of a ranged attack, and because the golem is lying on the ground, covering its core, melee professionals can only try to attack the golem's joints.
This has achieved some results.
Elsa and Olenna managed to slightly damage the joint of one of the golem's legs.
However, the control effect of the interference gem is extremely limited.
Soon, the giant golem began to move again.
The melee professionals retreated.
The golem stood up again.
It's just that the joint damage caused previously made the golem a little lame.
The situation is much more difficult than I imagined.
Rand prepared to adopt a backup plan.
I looked back at the hideout on the mountain.
Here, you can also see from afar the giant bone snake coiled above the lord's hall.
At the beginning, it was this bone snake that died together with the previous iron golem.
"Let me try." A cold voice sounded from beside me.
The blind girl was wearing a crown and hard-soled boots sold at the holiday resort.
Appeared beside Rand.
“Although I don’t want to help you,” Karin said, “but these adventurers, villagers, and merchants are all innocent.”
In Karin's perception, Rand didn't seem to be particularly panicked.
I don’t know if he was naturally calm, or if he had calculated that she would definitely help, or maybe he had some other trick up his sleeve?
When the golem stood up again in the smoke and dust, Karin removed the handle of the crutch in her hand.
This artifact was also weakened. Originally, the high temperature of the gun tip could destroy all matter in the world.
But now, how much power it can exert depends on its current owner, Karin.
Karin twisted her waist slightly and assumed a javelin throwing posture.
The tip of the gun suddenly caught fire.
Rand stepped back a little.
He will not be restrained by the power of the Torch Church now, but such high temperature still makes people uncomfortable.
It was as if the beautiful blonde girl with a slender waist was holding not a pistol but the sun in the sky.
The light and heat emitted are beyond the endurance of ordinary people.
Then, as Rand saw, the blonde girl twisted her waist and the pistol in her hand was thrown out.
It was like a comet hitting the earth.
A red light suddenly penetrated the chest of the iron golem without even a moment's pause.
The armor that seemed to be made of magic steel was just like a layer of paper to the javelin.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Then there was an explosion, a loud explosion.
The damage to the energy core also caused damage to the golem's structure.
The golem's huge body fell to the ground again.
"Is it over?" he whispered.
Now his Magic Steel Plate Armor Knights can expand again, but this time the Saint of the Torch Church has helped a lot, so he has to give her a share of the spoils.
"No." It was Karin who answered.
Rand's pupils dilated slightly.
There was the sound of metal rubbing against the ground.
Then there was the vibrating sound.
Under the scorching sun, the golem with a metallic luster stood up again.
Its body was still majestic, and the sunlight cast a shadow on it, covering Rand in front of it, as well as a large number of adventurers and warriors in the hideout.
Its chest, which originally emitted yellow light, was now a large molten hole, in which many mechanical components and fragments of the energy core could be seen.
But it still stood up.
His speed was much slower than before, and he was lame due to the broken joints, but he could still move.
"You can try to lead it somewhere else," Karin suggested, implying that she had no other options.
Rand looked at the golem's long legs and thought that even though it looked stiff as if it lacked engine oil, there was probably no mount in his territory that could outrun it.
Rand glanced back once more at the upper den, at the bone snakes coiled above the lord's hall.
Then Rand reached out in that direction.
Each of his blessings actually requires no action to use and can be activated in an instant.
But Rand felt that this was more handsome and could also confuse some possible enemies.
In the distance, a bone snake with countless natural disaster orbs inlaid on its body twisted its body.
Long before, when Rand began to study this blessing, he did a lot of experiments and made a lot of preparations.
He had this idea at that time.
This bone snake might be his ultimate trump card.
It’s just a pity that it has to be used here now.
The bone snake's body burst into blazing green flames, then it stood up and let out a soul-hissing roar in response to Rand's call.
Karin was feeling a little off now.
She had hardly sensed any evil power in Rand before.
Now it seems that this cult leader is just good at hiding.
With such a level of evil power, the Pope of the Scourge Cult is probably only at this level.
Karin felt that her own strength was somewhat suppressed.
She silently sensed the terrifying and hideous bone snake, twisting her body, which was almost as big as the golem, carefully avoiding the people and buildings in the holiday villa, and came to the lame golem.
