Chapter 476: Siege Part 2
Commoner District… Southern Quadrant…
Shirleen watched from the floor of her ruined house as the undead sentinel and stone golem encircled each other. The sentinel’s whip suddenly lashed out and struck the golem’s shoulder. The steel spikes at the end of the chain whip cut deep lines into the golem’s shoulder plate, but it didn’t flinch. The golem grabbed hold of the chain whip and tackled the sentinel with surprising speed.
The sentinel’s smaller body fell to the ground with a thud of metal. Before it had a chance to stand, the golem’s arms raised into the air and came crashing down with a heavy blow. The golem attacked over and over, its arms crashing down without cease, flattening the sentinel’s armor and the undead underneath, until all that was left were scraps of metal and bits of dead flesh.
A cold shiver ran through Shirleen’s body. She turned her neck and grabbed her daughter’s hand with what little strength remained in her. “Sophi, please, you need to run, now!”
The small goblin child bit her trembling lip and shook her head stubbornly, “I don’t want to go!” She sniffed, “Not without you.”
“Sophi, there is no time, please, run!” Shirleen begged.
The golem turned to the sound of her voice and marched towards her, a hulking 2 meter creature of enchanted stone, jade eyes glowing with an inner light.
The sound of clanging metal echoed through the ruined street. Three sentinels rushed out from the darkness and attacked. A pair of chain whips wrapped around the golem’s legs each. The last sentinel’s whip caught the golem’s head and yanked backwards, toppling the heavy construct to the ground.
Without a single word, the sentinels pulled out a mace from their sides, and jumped atop the golem, hammering it with the full strength of the black necromantic magic coursing through them.
