The Golem Mage - Chapter 657
Chapter 657: First Wave 2.
Chapter 657: First Wave 2.
This time, Butcher was in charge of leading the melee golems.
As the first wave of demonic beasts charged at him, he began to spin his lightning axe at a rapid speed, sending those rushing toward him sprawling backward.
Thanks to the force generated by his whirling axe, he created a type of lightning repulsion, leaving most of the demonic beasts who were knocked back numb and paralyzed for a few seconds.
Meanwhile, all it did for Butcher was push him back a few steps, with a little strain on his shoulder joints.
€œHow the hell did Titan always manage to hold off the waves of beasts without being pushed back?
It€™s hard to fill his shoes; we really need his expertise in situations like this,€ Butcher grumbled after clashing with multiple Tier 4 demonic beasts.
He reflected on every time he fought alongside Titan as he led the charge, recalling that it took an exceptional beast of the same realm or a miracle to force Titan to move back.
But as he sank deeper into his thoughts, Alec offered a word of encouragement to lift his spirits.
€œI hope that€™s not why you€™re feeling down, because you could never do what Titan does, when I created Titan, my first named golem, I intended for him to be my shield against harm,€ Alec explained.
€œHe was my protector back when I was weak, while he rarely uses a shield now, that doesn€™t change the fact that he was designed to be the sturdiest by me, and with each evolution, Titan has embodied the concept of being the ultimate shield.€
€œWith the highest endurance, I can proudly say he has continued to fulfill his role as my greatest shield, even as I€™ve grown stronger, he figured he didn€™t need to stay close to me for protection; instead, he would meet the attacks head-on and stop them before they reached me.
That€™s Titan€™s philosophy.€
€œBut what are you trying to achieve by imitating the path of another Golem?
When I created you, I wanted you to be my cleaver, the one with the mightiest attack to confront all challenges,€ Alec said firmly.
€œBut you€™ve been sneaky, evolving with lightning, and adding destructiveness to your philosophy, stop trying to be someone else and embrace the destroyer I see in you.€
While Alec was delivering his speech, he was also using the opportunity to gather mana for his Terra Bullet spell.
Once he had about sixteen bullets rotating at his fingertips, eight on each index finger, he took aim and began firing at the still-numb demonic beasts.
Bang!
Caught off guard and unable to still move from the lighting strike, they fell without resistance.
Meanwhile, a black streak curved through the air like a crescent blade, slicing the beasts in two as Oni finally had enough death to summon his army.
He devoured the souls of the fallen before channelling the essence of his minions into the corpses.
The bodies around now began to meld together, forming Onishigami squad.
No matter how many times Alec witnessed it, the creation of the Onishigami was always an impressive sight.
They were nothing like golems, practically looking like demons but they were still Oni€™s summoned minions.
In a battlefield like this, the Onis thrived, as they were able to heal from nearly any damage as long as a corpse remained nearby.
Without an attack targeting their souls, it was almost impossible to kill Oni€™s Onishigami summons.
As four red Onis and one blue Oni appeared, without waiting for commands, they charged at the nearest enemies, unleashing chaos.
–
After about three minutes of collaborative effort from all his golems, the first wave of demonic beasts had been completely eliminated, all without Alec needing to step forward.
If he had to choose the MVP of this round, he would say it was Butcher.
After that empowering speech he had given Butcher, he had been reinvigorated, diving back into the fray against the demonic horde.
As he focused solely on offense, neglecting to defend those behind him, he unleashed a wave of destruction, leaving a trail of lightning in his wake.

His lesser lightning elementals followed behind him as they were either sending out bolts of electricity or frying weaker beasts with lightning spear attacks whenever they bypassed Butcher.
Oni was the only one who came close to Butcher€™s level; having entered his Asura form, he transformed into a six-armed butcher.
Yet, it wasn€™t just his performance that impressed Alec; it was the seemingly immortal capability of his minion team that truly stood out.
They were chaotic yet effective, eliminating every beast they encountered and demonstrating their superiority on the battlefield.
Sword Saint and Magnito targeted the Tier 3 demonic beasts that appeared to have control spells, ensuring they couldn€™t command the horde to attack effectively, which would have made the situation much more difficult for the golems.
Legion stayed behind and bombarded the enemy, while Hunter led his army with impeccable teamwork and synergy.
No matter how many times they were surrounded or pushed back, they always managed to parry and counter with ease.
Alec felt immense gratitude for his golem army, because despite suffering significant damage, Hunter€™s iron golems displayed unwavering resilience, maintaining their formation as if they were human; any ordinary soldiers would have broken under such pressure.
That was how they successfully cleared out the first wave.
Just as Alec was channelling mana to expedite the recovery of the damaged golems, the second wave began to arrive.
Concern crossed his face; as he realized he could no longer afford to stay out of the fight.
This second wave was filled with ice elemental beasts, and, to make matters worse, several Tier 5 demonic beasts had emerged, making him feel if he didn€™t intervene, it would be nearly impossible for his golems to contain the onslaught.
