Chapter 308: Chapter 303: Metal Golems Chapter 308: Chapter 303: Metal Golems “Yingdila, swallow him.” Muria gestured to Yingdila, who had also shrunk down to the size of a five or six-year-old human child, and directed her towards the Tower Spirit.

“Very well.” At Muria’s command, Yingdila responded cheerfully, her voice as clear as a wind chime.

“Ah woo!” The loli, cute as a button, stared at the tower spirit, her mouth slightly open. With just a swallowing motion, the pure elemental projection of the Tower Spirit twisted into a streak of light and shadow and disappeared into Yingdila’s mouth.

“How is this possible…” The swallowed Tower Spirit let out a half-startled shout before falling silent. As the image of the Tower Spirit vanished, countless Spirit Runes exploded in the corridor where Muria and his companions were standing. Countless spirit lights and flames ignited, and after the intense radiance, the corridor plunged into darkness.

The Tower Spirit was able to manifest its form in this corridor with the aid of these Spirit Runes. Stout such a network of Spirit Runes was by its side, it should have been unaffected by any form of damage because attacking this projection of the Tower Spirit was pointless, as long as the Mage Tower stood, it could always coalesce.

It never expected that Yingdila, a strange existence, could follow the projection of the Spirit and destroy all the Array Patterns sustaining its manifestation entirely. It was against logic.

“Well done!” Muria held Yingdila in his arms and praised her, a display he couldn’t perform was annihilating an Array within an instant.

“Hee hee!” Hearing Muria’s praise, Yingdila twisted around, climbing onto his neck and laughing triumphantly, “So shouldn’t you give me a reward?”

“What reward do you want?” Muria asked.

“That blue, cool, hard thing.” Yingdila answered crisply.

At the corner of Muria’s mouth twitched, he knew immediately what the so-called hard thing was. High-Grade Extraordinary Metal, Blue Jade Steel. In a blink, Muria felt an urge to throw Yingdila away again. A piece of Extraordinary Metal for every move she made, who could bear that.

“Can we change it?” The smile on Muria’s face slowly fading, “Will Elemental Crystals do?”

“No, I want that.” Yingdila shook her head and pouted at Muria, looking like a willful little girl.

“Alright, I’ll give it to you.” Muria, expressionless, set Yingdila down and handed her a piece of Blue Jade Steel. He gritted his teeth and pressed forward, he was heartbroken. These resources of this grade were already of considerable importance to Muria, and he had a grand goal to meet.

Muria headed towards the top of the Mage Tower. Due to the passage of time, he encountered minimal resistance. Inside the Mage Tower, most of the Magic Arrays were damaged, a small portion of Magic Arrays had collapsed, and lost its function.

Even the remaining Magic Arrays have lost most of their functionality. In short, the defensive system of this Mage Tower has almost collapsed, falling to such a degree that an ordinary Fang Dragon can easily steal a vial of top-grade Bloodline Medicine.

“The Magic Array defensive system has collapsed, even the guardians have decayed.” Muria stood before a pile of human-shaped scrap metal, lamenting softly, “Time, oh time!”

“How long has it been?” Fiona, a blue-haired beauty, squatting in front of Muria, exhibiting her voluptuous curves to the gaze of this young bloodline noble. In her hand, she held a piece of metal, “Even the Fine Steel Golem has decayed to this extent.”

“It’s only the most common Fine Steel Golem, there should be more advanced Steel Golems above.” Muria sighed briefly and continued to climb towards the top of the Mage Tower.

Originally, within such a large Mage Tower, there should be a well-established transportation system to facilitate the movement of beings living inside and save time.

But a large portion of the Teleportation Array had collapsed long ago, and the remnants were run down. Even if they could be activated, Muria dare not use them. In this Mage Tower where the Tower Spirit still existed and was hostile to him, using the Teleportation Array was 100% bound to cause problems.

Along the way, Muria encountered even higher-level Metal Golems, all of which have decayed to the point of being unable to fulfill their duty to guard the Mage Tower.

“The completeness of the rescued ones is getting higher.” As Muria got closer to the top of the tower, he encountered higher and higher level Metal Golems. They were no longer just heaps of scrap metal. They were created with varying amounts and grades of Extraordinary Metals mixed in, which determined their level and strength.

Unfortunately, so far, all the Golems that Muria has encountered have lost their ability to move. The long years have eroded the elemental spirits within them and the runes on their bodies.

Golems are powerful constructs created through the use of magic. They differ significantly from other created bodies in that they have a vibrant force—golems derive life from the elemental soul.

The process of creating a Golem binds that soul to an artificial body. It will merge with this specially prepared vessel and submit to the will of its creator.

Golems lack cognition and do nothing unless commanded by their creator. They obey straightforward and explicit instructions and cannot comprehend complex strategies or tactics.

“Expel…the…intruder.” After Muria violently destroyed a Magic Array, the Golem defense system of this Mage Tower reacted for the first time, and Muria finally saw a still operational Metal Golem.

Boom! Boom! The heavy and sluggish footsteps echoed, and under Muria’s watch, a majestic Golem bearing a Battle Axe and clad in armor, standing at twelve meters tall, descended from the stone platform in the hall center—when no foreign enemies were invading, it merely stood there as a decoration.

“Who’s going?” Muria turned and asked.

Upon hearing Muria’s question, several Soul-level Green Dragons couldn’t help but shrink their necks. The shining spirit light on the body of the Golem indicated that it was entirely composed of high-grade Extraordinary Metal. Thus, it managed to resist the erosion of time and still function even after thousands of years.

“Wastes.” Seeing a few Green Dragons shrinking their necks, the Red Dragon Otlis cursed them with disdain.

“Hmm, right, Otlis, you go.” Muria turned to the Red Dragon, who had shrunk to three meters in size, upon hearing the Red Dragon’s cursing.

“Hee hee, Prince Mureya, this…” The old Red Dragon chuckled awkwardly, instinctively began to back away with his four claws.

“Go on, Otlis.” Muria reached out to grab the Old Red Dragon by the Dragon Horn and flung it towards the High-Grade Extraordinary Alloy Golem.
