Chapter 627: Obliteration Now
Adam’s breath hastened with each step the smirking puppet took. This was it: the last plan—the final confrontation. ’It has to work.’
Fist raised and sweat trickling down his tensed cheeks, he waited for the perfect opportunity before he thundered.
"Now!" Dense wisps of mana engulfed his eyes.
The ground rumbled in answer, hundreds of stone hands rising as if the earth itself wanted to restrain the puppet. They gripped his legs, torso, and arms, not leaving a single spot of his ashen skin untouched and shrouding his vision.
The golem’s four cannon arms roared to life in the same second, blinding lights erupting in their dark muzzle depths.
Yet, the rocks groaned, then melted into molten liquid as the puppet stepped forward with a sneer. Green demonic energy swirled around his untouched body. Yet his eyes narrowed into slits, the mocking words catching in his throat.
Because as soon as Adam lowered his fist, the emperor lashed the golem’s five arms with a guttural war cry that melded his guilt, despair and hope to fix his mistakes.
Unlike earlier, the five broadswords whistled with a unique purpose: to eviscerate the puppet. Their giant edges cleaved through the wind, one crashing down like a shooting meteor. Two sliced at the sides, aiming to divide the puppet, while the last two came from below in upward slashes.
But that was only the beginning.
’You won’t dodge this time!’ Adam’s mind rumbled as golden lightning arcs exploded from the cannons’ depth. No matter what, he had to obliterate the puppet—now!
Like an infinite tsunami, mana gushed out of his heart, forcing the arms’ particle acceleration and gravity magic circles into overdrive.
