Chapter 1149 Reaching The Depths Of The Ruins
-----
As I held back the powerful golem by destroying its internal circuits and making it temporarily paralyzed, I called for Eleanora's assistance, as she happily went for the offensive, using her spear to attack the golem.
CRAAASH!
A single, piercing strike managed to help her needle-like spear pierce through the golem's core and its circuits, instantly disabling it. The energy that coursed through the golem dissipated as
"ERROR... INTERNAL... CORE... DAMAGED..."
It seemed to give out a small alarm before it was fully turned off. Its entire body collapsing into the floor. I took this opportunity to inspect is body, the metal was indeed incredibly tough, but it had some weaknesses here and there.
Also, the core was indeed Neutronium, a blue colored crystal was in there, definitely an autonomous golem built to protect something bigger.
"Well, that wasn't that hard," I said.
As I said that, I quickly stored the golem inside my inventory. When I dismantled, new and strange items appeared, making me wish I could summon them to the rest of the trial.
[You have defeated and stored the [Ancient Ruins Wandering Golem Guardian (Automaton/Machine Type)] x1]
[The [Ancient Ruins Wandering Golem Guardian (Automaton/Machine Type)] Body has been Dismantled!]
[You obtained the following items: [Black Orichalnium Metal Pieces], [Electromagnetic Circuits], [Shattered Electric Crystal Core]
"Zack, you better help on the next fight though."
I looked at Zack, making him tremble for a bit, for some reason.
"A-Ah?! I... uh, sure..."
Zack didn't know what to even say, I guess it was bound to not be too hard to fight golems with many allies at once.
He did it all alone back then when he came here, so of course it was hellish for him.
"Anyways, we should get going-"
"Child of Ether..."
However, before I could do anything, the voice once more appeared.
I was able to hear her once more, briefly.
She called me once more "Child of Ether" whatever that even means.
And...
"Hurry..."
She told me to hurry? But why?
As it was torn to shreds, the golem was left behind, and with Eleanora, we finished the other two, piercing through their chest in a similar way than before.
"And done," I nodded, storing the golems. "Zack! Are you ok?"
Zack sighed in relief.
"Yes I'm fine, that damn golem almost got me, but your spider is actually pretty useful!" he said. "Maybe we can handle it but let's be careful."
"Sure," I nodded.
We advanced for a couple more minutes, almost ten minutes before we found more golems, this time they were the dormant variety, but they blocked the path, so we were going to eventually bump on them on these tight corridors.
"Hmm... Hendrick, try shooting it with web first, then we gang on them one by one!"
Hendrick's robot didn't had the ability to speak, but he immediately nodded, rushing forward and shooting the robot's electromagnetic spiderweb.
FLASH!
The spiderweb was wrapped around the dormant golem, making it impossible for it to move properly, in fact, even when it tried, it was utterly impossible.
"Now!"
We charged our weapons with electricity and attacked, destroying the golem by tearing it to shreds faster than the spiderweb could contain him, which was only a couple of seconds.
Like this, we destroyed three more golems in a row, they were all dormant, waiting for us to touch them so they started attacking.
Well, that didn't work like they wanted.
"W-What is that place?"
Zack gasped, looking into the distance, at the end of this long corridor, a bright blue light emerged, illuminating everything.
"Wait, that's... that must be the end of the labyrinth, or maybe the center!" I said. "Let's go!"
"The center!" Eleanora said happily. "Yeah, let's go!"
"Hey! Wait for me!" Zack screamed, chasing us.
Eventually, once we reached the end of the corridor, there was a large, expansive hall, with several tubes connected everywhere all at once.
And then, there was something at the center, a huge blue crystal, connected to dozens of enormous tubes and cables, circuits constantly being fed by this core's energies.
"This has to be the place..." I nodded. "This must be the-"
"You're... finally... here..."
And then I heard her voice once more.
