Chapter 623 Sparks
On the Starry Lake in the dark night, the battle between the Mirror Moon Golem controlled by Aldrich and the two Eight-Pointed Red Creatures continued. After using various methods to force the Mirror Moon Golem to give up maintaining the Storm Cage, Gosmore finally helped his partner Barard to escape successfully. After successfully rescuing Barard, Gosmore flew towards the Quiet Moon Golem without stopping.
Facing the high-speed flying Gusmore from a distance, Board, who had just escaped and was breathing heavily, was startled. After hearing clearly what the other party said, his expression became serious, and then he murmured.
"Armed? I know..."
As he spoke, Board activated his own spiritual power, causing his still weak body to turn from blood mist into bright red mist again. However, this time, after Board's body turned into blood mist, it did not choose to drift around in a large range. Instead, it shrank inward. The mist that originally constituted Board condensed into a thin stick-like object. Finally, when all the blood mist was shrunk and condensed, what appeared was a scarlet axe gun.
After Board condensed his weapon into the Scarlet Spear, he automatically flew towards the direction where Gusmore was coming from at high speed. After he got close to her, Gusmore stretched out her hand and directly grasped the body of the scarlet axe spear. Then a dark red hue began to spread rapidly from the part where Gusmore was holding the spear, and soon spread to her whole body. After a while, this dark red strange substance transformed into a suit of armor and was directly armed on Gusmore's body, making her a noble female knight with a gun.
Facing the actions of Gesmore and Board, Aldrich had already prepared for it. He first ordered the Mirror Moon Golem to raise a rain of invisible wind blades, and then ordered the Mirror Moon Golem to swing a punch towards Gesmore fiercely.
The invisible rain of wind blades soon completely enveloped Gusmore, but under the protection of the blood mist armor worn by Bard, she was not hurt. Wind blades of this speed could be perfectly blocked by the blood mist armor. When the fist of the Mirror Moon Golem came towards her like a huge wall, Gusmore made a desperate maneuver and avoided the fist of the Mirror Moon Golem. Then, she took the opportunity to swing the scarlet axe in her hand and chopped at the golem's arm that was stretched out in front of her.
In the hand of Gusmore, the blood spear held by Bard quickly stretched out, and the blade of the spear also expanded rapidly, and suddenly became a giant spear blade that was much larger than Gusmore's body. Gusmore held the huge exaggerated weapon and slashed hard on the arm of the Mirror Moon Golem. Amidst a roar and dust, the axe blade of the blood axe spear gouged a big hole in the boulder arm.
After successfully chopping off the golem's giant stone arm with a huge weapon, Gosmore immediately began to output his own and Board's spiritual power without stopping. Under the powerful corrosive ability of the "Shadow" enchantment, countless fine cracks appeared on the wound of the golem's arm, and the solid rock broke into tiny fragments. The cracks spread very quickly, and it seemed that it would not take much time to completely erode this section of the golem's arm, causing the arm to break.
"Letting a person fully arm himself to strengthen the power of another person, is this the tactic used by the giant thorn monsters when they work together? Not only can it make ordinary attacks huge, but it can also cause such a powerful 'shadow' erosion... This is really an eye-opener for me..."
Seeing this, Aldrich immediately activated his own "stone" spirituality and strengthened the sturdiness of the golem's arm, which barely suppressed the spread of countless cracks. Then Aldrich let the Mirror Moon Golem pull back its hand and use its giant arm to knock away Gosmore who was at close range.
Although Gusmore's body suffered a strong impact at once, because of the protection of Board's blood mist armor, her whole body was not smashed to pieces, but the blood mist armor was smashed to pieces. However, these broken pieces of blood mist armor floated for a short time and then gathered on Gusmore's body again, assembled into a complete set of armor. After Gusmore stabilized her body in the air, she continued to rush towards the Mirror Moon Golem wearing the brand new blood armor and holding the blood axe gun in her hand.
Afterwards, Gosmore and the Mirror Moon Golem engaged in a fierce battle. After possessing Board's blood mist armor, Gosmore's previous decline was reversed. The blood mist armor greatly improved Gosmore's defense ability. Not only did it almost ignore the damage of the wind blade, but even if it was accidentally scratched by the golem's fist, it could also eliminate most of the damage and then restore it. In addition, the huge blood blade axe gun increased Gosmore's damage to the golem at once, and the powerful erosion ability allowed the golem's entire body to be effectively broken. In addition, Gosmore's original mobility made her situation much better when facing the Mirror Moon Golem.
Aldrich controlled the golem and fought against Gosmore non-stop. In his eyes, the current Gosmore was much more difficult to deal with. Not only was it difficult for the golem's attack to be fatal to Gosmore, but Gosmore could always slash the golem with his bloody axe and spear. These highly corrosive slashes required Aldrich to spend a lot of his spiritual power to suppress their effectiveness, otherwise the entire golem would not be able to hold out for long under Gosmore's attack.
During the battle, Aldrich's brows wrinkled slightly. He couldn't help but put his hand into the pouch of his windbreaker, then grabbed a handful of something and put it in front of his eyes. When Aldrich loosened his clenched hands, fine quicksand slowly slid down from between his fingers, and then drifted into the air as dust. Only three stone chess pieces were left in Aldrich's hands, a knight, a castle, and a priest. Nearly two-thirds of the volume of the small stone sculptures of the knight and the castle were spilled into the air as quicksand fell into the air. In his hand, only the priest's chess piece was still intact for the time being, but it also had many fine cracks.
All these signs showed that Aldrich's spiritual power had begun to become somewhat tight. As a severely incomplete gold, he was far less spiritually rich than the two complete red beings, Gosmore and Board. Relying on his superb skills, Aldrich had amazing efficiency in using the spiritual power of "stone". Even so, the spiritual power consumed by the golem to drive such a large temple was still huge. Now, in order to suppress the erosion of Gosmore, Aldrich had to spend more spiritual power to strengthen the defense, which made his already scarce spiritual power consumed faster.
Although Aldrich can control the spiritual energy stored in the temple to a certain extent, among these spiritual energy, it is mainly "shadow", and the spiritual energy of "stone" is relatively small. When Aldrich destroyed the temple golem, the "stone" of the temple itself had been almost consumed. Now the spiritual energy to maintain the golem must come from himself.
Although the two sides are in a stalemate, Aldrich still has a slight advantage and suppression, but this situation will not last long. Aldrich's spiritual reserve is rapidly decreasing and approaching the safety threshold he set for himself. Once this value is reached, Aldrich will have to stop controlling the Mirror Moon Golem. Judging from the current situation, the speed of spiritual decline is very fast, and Aldrich cannot guarantee that he can hold back Gosmore before Dorothy completely completes the ritual.
In order to save spiritual energy, Aldrich began to actively limit the performance of the Mirror Moon Golem, switching from offense to defense to delay more time, and this change was quickly noticed by Gosmore.
"Ha! This guy is slowing down! Keep going, don't stop, Boad!"
With a proud laugh, Gosmore then began to speed up the pace of her attack, swinging the giant blood axe spear to chop at the Mirror Moon Golem again and again. The reversal of the battle situation made Gosmore's laughter become unscrupulous, and under her crazy offensive, Aldrich's spiritual power was being quickly consumed.
At this moment, something strange happened at the scene. A bright orange star appeared above the dark night sky, and then the star became brighter and brighter, and finally it turned into a thick pillar of flame that fell from the sky and rushed towards the direction where Gusmore was below at a high speed.
Gosmore, who was attacking the golem, realized that something was wrong and dodged at the last moment. Then she saw a two or three meter thick high temperature fire column falling from the sky, narrowly brushing past her and blasting into the Star Lake below, boiling the surrounding lake water. Because the distance was too close, the high temperature of the flames burned Gosmore so painfully.
"What! This is..."
Just as Gusmore was surprised, more and more pillars of fire fell from the sky. Seeing this, Gusmore dodged one after another. Although she dodged the direct attack of each pillar of fire, she found that the falling pillars of fire did not disappear at all. Instead, they remained in place and slowly formed a cage of fire around Gusmore, as if they wanted to trap her inside.
After seeing this, Gusmore immediately thought that it was not advisable to stay here for long, and immediately flew at high speed towards the largest gap in the unfinished fire pillar cage. When she was about to fly out of the unfinished prison, a stone fist like a huge wall came towards her. Gusmore was caught off guard and dodged. Although she avoided the attack of the golem, she missed the last chance to escape from the fire pillar cage. When the last fire pillar descended, she was trapped in the cage.
"Spiritual flames of this intensity... how could they appear here..."
