Chapter 3968 The Reappearance of the "Giant Warrior"

No one intended to stop there. After rescuing Mr. Bernhardt, Shad had no more worries, while the strangers were clearly unwilling to accept defeat.

Shad was prepared to face the unknown demonic eye once again. After Brienne ascended to demigodhood at the "Moon Sanctuary," Shad himself acquired a magical technique called [Mist Moon Tide]. This technique could release a large-scale mist that confuses space and time. Although Shad couldn't say for sure that the demonic eye needed to see its target to be effective, he knew that his technique could definitely suppress the demonic eye's characteristics to some extent.

However, the enemy clearly had no intention of using the Mystic Eye again. The backlash from the relics caused by the gravity exerted by Shad's [Blood Moon Return] was actually more severe than Shad himself had imagined.

Seeing that Shad had rescued the high-ranking vampire who was their target, the tenth-ring warlock who had been covering his eyes made a gesture to his companion, and the heavily injured ninth-ring vampire bent down and placed his hands on the water's surface.

Although Shad didn't know what the other party wanted to do, a powerful whispering element spread across the entire lake surface with the other party's movements, and then a huge black iron ritual array bloomed on the lake surface.

The interwoven patterns and strange runes spoke of the power of the ritual. Shad wanted to interrupt their actions, but the moonlight he unleashed was desperately blocked by a tenth-ring sorcerer with a near-complete loss of control over his magic eye. The spread of the whispering element also made Shad reluctant to get too close to them for the time being.

Such powerful fluctuations in the whispering element could not possibly be concealed. Even if the church's representatives tonight's charity banquet were just ordinary people, the five churches in the city had probably already sensed the commotion.

Based on Shad's experience, a local ring warlock squad would arrive within two minutes at most.

The water trembled violently, and the powerful whispers undoubtedly represented immense power. As the light from that eerie ritual array almost materialized and illuminated the night sky, the colossal golem rapidly rose from beneath the water with a deafening roar.

The golem, cast from deep black metal, first appeared with three heads, while semi-circular rings connected the shoulders on both sides of the heads, tracing an arc above the heads.

The enormous red eye was located on the center of the head between the eyebrows. In addition, as more and more parts of the golem appeared, Shad could clearly see that the entire golem, from top to bottom, was covered with eyes of different sizes and colors.

Although the golem remained motionless as it emerged, its thousands of eyes opened and closed continuously under various dim lights, their pupils fixed on Shad on the lake's surface, each eye revealing a glint of wisdom.

Among those thousands of eyes, more than ten were demonic eyes.

Two legs, four arms, three heads, and a thousand eyes. The black iron metal golem, about 100 meters tall, stood on the water under the moon. Even though it was motionless at this moment, the oppressive feeling and mental pollution brought by its very existence already demonstrated its power.

"This is."

But more than worry, Shad was astonished. He stared at the conspicuous "number 3765" mark on the golem's right shoulder, and memories from what seemed like a long time ago, but were actually only a little over a year ago, flooded his mind:

"A Guardian-level relic [Thousand-Eyed Gargoyle, No. 3765]! How is this possible?" (Chapters 221, 255)

In pursuit of the Silver-Eyed One with the "Mercury Blood," Shad, Luvia, and Iluna ventured into the ruins of the "Order of Innocence" beneath the city of Topsk. Among the three most powerful relics guarding the ruins at the time was this powerful alchemical golem.

This is a relic of an ancient alchemical product from the Quaternary period that has undergone a mutation. It possesses the dual properties of stone and flesh, and its appearance is gray—but what appears now is a black metallic material. It is extremely powerful in combat and is proficient in melee combat and spellcasting.

The most remarkable feature of this relic is that after killing an enemy, it will seize their eyes and place them on its own body, thus gaining a field of vision with almost no blind spots.

Without anyone controlling the golem, sacrificing three pairs of human eyes can temporarily stop it from attacking; sacrificing two demonic eyes can even put it into a dormant state for 48 hours. But clearly, the golem is currently being controlled by the two people behind it.

But if Shad remembered correctly, after the incident, this huge and inconvenient relic was taken into custody by the Church of the True God. He even joked at the time that he would use this relic as a fee for entrusting the church to help guard the assets of the Pure Order.

At this moment, the stone statue, which should have been in the hands of the church, appeared before Shad in metal form. Moreover, this thing was clearly stronger than before; it was a rare relic that could easily enhance power, because a relic-level Mystic Eye would enhance the power of [Thousand-Eyed Gargoyle No. 3765].

The level of whispering it's exhibiting right now is truly sage-level. And it actually has a more elegant name—the Colossus.

"The material is wrong, and the number of eyes is different compared to back then. What is this?"

"It seems I've dragged you into this dangerous situation. The enemy is using 'blood poison' specifically designed for high-level vampires, and I can't help them for now."

Mr. Bernhardt's voice came from behind Shad. He had woken up, but his tone suggested he had not fully recovered.

Shad looked up at the golem that was gradually coming to life:

"Don't say that. When I saw this, I knew this would eventually involve me. I never expected it. Let's get ready to leave. With such a commotion here, the church is coming."

"You should also be careful."

During their brief conversation, the golem's eyes began to flash red, and then, with a buzzing sound, thousands of thick, crimson beams of violent energy swept erratically across the surface of the lake.

At this moment, Vige, who was holding a champagne glass and watching the auction in the banquet hall, was still wearing the "limiter" designed by Megan, but at such a close distance, she had already noticed the huge fluctuation of the whispering element.

Ripples appeared on the surface of her wine glass, and then the entire exhibition hall floor began to shake. Screams erupted from the banquet hall, and everyone evacuated towards the exit, guessing that an earthquake was occurring in the city.

On the lake in the park, amidst the magnificent mist stirred up by the Thousand-Eyed Golem sweeping across the water, the golem's four enormous fists, empowered by the demonic eye on its right head, slammed towards the spot where Shad had just stood.

The Unknown Eye briefly locked onto the space to prevent Shad from escaping. All of the golem's eyes were observing all directions to ensure that Shad had no chance to leave.

Under the expectant gaze of the heavily wounded vampire and the tenth-ring warlock, the golem's four fists struck the water simultaneously, causing a tremor throughout the entire area. But then, those four fists were lifted by an even greater force, and the two adversaries only saw a gigantic, god-like silver figure appear under the moonlight, before vanishing in an instant.

"What's that? Something's not right. What have we done to offend them?"

Shad, who was normally the size of a grain of silver rice, looked like a tiny silver grain of rice as he flew through the air. He stared expressionlessly at the golem below under the moonlight, while the golem raised its three heads. A thousand eyes simultaneously tracked him, making the moonlight and his figure appear in thousands of eyes.

As those countless eyes blinked erratically, this time the thousands of crimson rays converged into a single beam and shot towards him in the air. This was an attack from a Sage-level relic. If it were daytime, Xia De would probably have tried to dodge it, but at this moment, the night was deep, the stars were twinkling, and the moon shone brightly.

And so, as if he had pulled the crimson moonlight greatsword from the blood moon, Shad leaped lightly through the air, spinning in mid-air as he swung the sword before the golem's attack could strike him:

"Adele's Regression Principle!"

Click!

The rumbling thunder echoed through the night sky of Arcadia City, and even the guards at the distant Gray Rock Pass could hear the sound lingering in the clouds.

As Wei Ge walked out of the exhibition hall and stood at the entrance with the crowd who were discussing the earthquake, she saw a red light flash in the sky. However, the light was condensed and transformed in the air, eventually turning into a blood-red lightning bolt that struck down from under the moon.

To the people at the entrance of the exhibition hall, the golem standing on the lake was just a strange, dark mass. But even so, the hundred-meter-tall behemoth facing the crimson lightning in the sky still seemed like a scene from a dream.

Boom!

Two of the golem's three heads were shattered by the crimson lightning, and then the lightning pierced through the golem's left shoulder before striking the lake, causing the ground near the park to tremble violently once again.

But then a mysterious silvery-white mist appeared, obscuring the lake's surface along with the evaporating water vapor. A few dozen seconds later, the church's ring mages arrived at the lakeside without even needing to cast illusions to prevent the people at the exhibition hall entrance from seeing anything more.

The church's squad didn't dare to venture deep into the fog immediately. The powerful whispering element and the inexplicable crimson lightning from earlier both indicated the terrifying nature of the battle. They could only temporarily seal off the lake and await further support.

"What's going on?"

A member of the crowd at the entrance of the exhibition hall asked a question, but a few people guessed that there were ringed sorcerers fighting in the city. However, they could not guess who was so bold.

Vige was worried, but fortunately, while the crowd was still discussing whether to return to the exhibition hall, stay where they were, or leave immediately, the Shadby Church team returned first.

"I am fine."

He calmly walked to the witch's side, and she turned to look at Shad, then immediately took his arm. She pursed her lips and remained silent, not because she recognized the magic, but because she was worried that Shad would leave again; Shad could feel that she was really holding on tightly.
