Chapter 169: Counterattack [2]

Once the golems have risen from where they were struck by a powerful attack. It felt its whole body is charged by a powerful surge of energy. Powering its abilities, paired with the corruption granted by the anomaly its power skyrocketed. Accompanied by a few living and nonliving monsters such as inanimate objects like the golems. Have marched to attack the only thing that didn’t belong within their ranks, a perfect example was Christopher Morris

([Rewrite system: You’ve supercharged the golems. The anomaly is spreading through the other monsters within your area])

“Radiant footwork, Rising force!!!” He perfectly dodges in the right direction and time before his body was to be flattened. Machines that didn’t have any sense of emotions or bloodlust were changed into horrific nightmares. Inanimate objects and nonliving enemies harbored flesh and blood that came out of nowhere. Turning these cold-blooded pawns into a rage-filled grotesque abomination that

When he was able to distance himself from the beast, he was able to see its full image. The sight of the flesh that rises from his body, blood that gushes out every second it breathes. Lastly its constant reproduction of bodily organs that expanded throughout its body. Muscles, eyes, and teeth that grow just about anywhere within its body, were too much for this player. When averted his eyes and puked his breakfast after he witnessed such a scenery

“Bluaaaaaargh…! Oh god, I didn’t think it’ll be this disgusting and I never thought I’d puke inside my novel. This is twisted as fuck who the hell created this monstrosity!!!” After a couple of seconds to reevaluate the choices in his life. It wasn’t a surprise that he chose to dodge instead of continuing his reaction to its horrific transformation. Using his staff that changes to a spear, he slices through its belly and tears its body as he reaches for its feet

Opening its newly formed stomach, he waved his fingers, and a circle emitted and he lit its body on fire. It fought back once he realizes that his flames and the temperature weren’t enough to burn its flesh. Even though it proved to be useless, it helped him cover the horrific figure of his enemy

[System: A dozen hostile individuals have entered your strike zone]

He quickly changes his focus to deal with the monsters that entered his vicinity, he was wary about his surroundings. And this message only proved to reinforce his beliefs about his current predicament, there was a reason behind its rank. Who would’ve thought that he’ll face an ambush that he wasn’t able to perceive until they entered his last line of defense? Unfortunately for them, they met an inescapable death sentence

[System: Devouring dark billionaire staff’s 1st option has been triggered. The staff will become a weapon that the player has envisioned to be a weapon. The required mana has been consumed, the shifting process has now begun]

Tiny, medium or even miniature sizes that came within his side were aiming to take his life. However, they were but a hair short to reach the surface of their targeted prey. Long and durable black chains that expanded as he continues to add a chunk of his mana. With the use of mana, he manipulated the direction of the chains, extending their reach and reinforcing their foundation. Before it encircled his body at a high speed that orbited the body of its wielder

“Even the smallest thread if tied with another will become a weapon. A long and durable chain was said to have been used to end a person’s life. And a dozen or so of these chains that were said to become a weapon would be used as a shield,” Hordes amongst others rallied from his back, front, and even to his sides. Some attempted to attack him from below and others from above, nevertheless it was all child’s play

When a chain that’s hardened and sharpened by the very mana that extends and rotates its body. Just a single source that operates every single one of the processes that makes these chains a formidable defense. He could’ve used them as a means to attack, but the time that he changes his focus on these little critters. He lost sight of the monsters that couldn’t have possibly escaped his vision

“Graaaaaaaahhhh!!!” He was suddenly given a shock after he glances at them for the second time. He could see it in their statuses, their ability, and their power to mimic their surroundings and cancel their presence altogether. All of that happened in a matter of seconds when he got attacked by none other than the golems that previously disappeared

They had their bodies fully developed, with tissues that covered their entire body with not a single area left to be exposed. Its muscles quickly took action and hurled a powerful punch in his path. This led to him canceling the command that he placed upon the chains, which extended once more. Wrapping itself to its desired target and the other end of the chain was being held by its owner

“Weapon shift, become the weapon of my desire!!! Carved your image with my mind, and do as you’re told, I order you to submit to my will,” The chains started to change one after another, having been influenced by the desire of its wielder. Morris used this opportunity to block and deal with a heavy amount of damage to his chosen target

No matter how thick its flesh and durable its bones, it wasn’t able to dodge the chains that he had launched. Tiny edges of the chains began to accumulate a chain that was sharpened and refined. With a high amount of mana that slices through its body without a hitch

Suddenly, he got caught by the other golem that was able to closely ward off its presence to strike him at his lowest. If only he was that simpler to fall for such an easy and predictable tactic. What it attacked was a dummy that he place in his previous location in an attempt of catching the other half. He perfectly executed his plans and the remains of the chains that came out of his traps that attaches themselves to the body

([Rewrite system: [Primordial oppressor] has been triggered, anomalies hit by your attacks will suffer from a variety of debuffs. Weakening its body and afflicting it with an attack that opposes its power, making your attacks have an additional effect. You’ll gain a 40% bonus on your attacks, damage will be multiplied once their seen as an anomaly])

Without a doubt, he was able to strike the first and final blow that engulfed its body and invaded to reach its destination. The core of the golems, no matter how much they get injured or suffered from a life-threatening attack. They won’t perish as long as that remains. Knowing this full well, the chains slowly made their way into the body, where it started to rotate and grind its body

Screams would echo throughout his location and possibly alert anyone or anything that was left to be unscathed. Later on, its screams were proven to be worthless when its mouth and lungs were. Accompanied by its throat and leading down to its organs and finally to its core. He finally released every ounce of mana and injected it into his final attack

Shredding its body without any problems with his attack and his eyes were strictly focused on what he was performing. Once he was finished and the core was said to have been shattered by his system. He was left alone, inside a dark and quiet environment, and he wasn’t able to feel a hint of the anomaly. Even his system told him about the wonderful news of his successful expedition. If only he was that gullible to merely exit the premises and move on with his life as he always did

’There’s gotta be a reason why it came here right…? I don’t know why im still tilted even though I’ve heard from the system itself, that I completed the mission. However, I don’t feel the slightest hint of being relieved by this kind of result, I need to know. Why did it come here, and why was it so focused on trying to end my life,’

He ventured deeper into the mysterious path by following the footsteps that he discovered with his appraisal. Leading him to a deeper level of his current position and even going so far as a depth that wouldn’t cause any sort of suspicion. A spacious room that could store weapons or an ancient relic for anyone to acquire. Or was it an underground testing facility? Who knows, maybe his guess was correct until he sees a small golem, which was the size of a player

[System: You’re witnessing for your very own eyes one of the rarest and prized treasures of the 2nd trial. The ex machina series was said to only have two separate models in its creation. And you’re looking at [Diablos] the demon of machinery, the counterpart of [Deus] who’s said to be the god of machines]
