Mages Are Too OP-Novel2

Chapter 588 A Brave Young Man action

All the players looked at the rising bronze giant outside of Tebesia with surprise.

On the surface of the giant were engraved bright green magic stripes. Immense magic power was gathered in its body, and even the air around it was a mess. Over a distance, the bronze giant appeared slightly twisted by airwaves.

“Shoot! There’s really a Gundam here!”

The chairman of the Fatter Cat’s eyes glittered.

The other chairmen, however, had a strong toothache.

Not everybody liked giant robots.

Besides, this thing didn’t look easy to deal with at all.

“What do we do now?” Looking at the enormous giant that was walking over slowly, a certain chairman frowned and remarked, “This is really unscientific. Even if this giant has special metal feet that can support its body weight, how can it walk on the soft sand without sinking when its feet and body are proportional to human beings’?”.

“Don’t ask. The only answer you’ll get is that it’s magic,” said another chairman with a smile. “Science means nothing in this game. Don’t bother with that.”

“What do we do next?”

“Send the dare-to-die corps out.” The chairman of Fatter Cat waved his hands. “Give them good drinks, good cuisines, and gold coins.”

“Very generous.” The other chairmen all raised their thumbs.

“I’m not good at fighting.” The chairman of Fatter Cat touched his bald head and said solemnly, “But you’re not good at making money. It’s all up to you whether or not we can accomplish this epic quest.”

Anything would be easy with a copious reward of money. The other chairmen all laughed and then picked suitable players for the mission. Then, a fifty-man team was quickly established and gathered in five minutes. They launched a charge at the bronze metal giant.

This team was a typical one for a raid. It was divided into ten squads, each consisting of five soldiers.

There were vanguards, DPS, and supports in each team.

Besides, all of them were level eight, which was above the average of the players.

However, these ten squads were annihilated by the bronze giant in five minutes.

The battle was very simple.

The bronze giant tore off what appeared to be a sword from its back. Then, it held the sword and spun its upper half body while keeping its lower half body still. It turned into a dreadful tornado so fast that the waves cut the enemy apart. A vanguard was consumed by the tornado and instantly minced.

That was not the end of it. This bronze giant turned out to be even capable of short-distance teleportation. It flashed to the dare-to-die team and earned ten kills instantly.

Then, another flash, and multiple more kills.

The tornado formed by the spinning giant had a massive range and a high attraction force. When it flashed to the players, the players were minced before they could react.

After killing the fifty soldiers of the dare-to-die team, the bronze giant slowly returned to somewhere near Tebesia.

The magic stripes on the giant brightened and dimmed intermittently, as if it were being charged.

In the command center, the few chairmen gathered up again. “This thing is truly marvelous,” said the chairman of Fatter Cat excitedly. “Blade Storm plus Flash, that’s truly ingenious. I’ve never seen such a smart Gundam before.”

“Brother, are you really supposed to feel happy about it? It’s our enemy.” One of the chairmen scratched his head. “Cut the crap and give us some practical advice on how to deal with it. It seems to be too strong for us.”

“Unfortunately, the dare-to-die team didn’t acquire much useful information.”

“We can limit this thing’s teleportation ability with Dimensional Anchors and reduce its mobility.” Another guild chairman shrugged. “Then, we can fight a war of attrition and kill it.”

“My thoughts exactly,” said the chairman of Fatter Cat with a smile. “You’ve all read the battle report on the forum, right? The Grand Elder of the Spatial Magic Tower was tricked to going to Wetland City by Roland and was then killed by the tens of thousands of players there. Those players are mostly casuals with low levels. We can certainly do what they already did.”

All the chairmen took a deep breath.

Although the chairman of Fatter Cat made a good point, why did something sound off to them?

They were kind of scared.

Nevertheless, certain things must be done.

The bronze giant must be recharging. It was a good chance to attack it.

They found the chairman of the maggot Warlocks and proposed, “What about a wave of feces at the bronze giant? There must be acids in the waste of your maggots, right? It’s possible that they can break a few magic stripes and paralyze the giant.” “There isn’t much stock left in the maggots.” The chairman thought for a moment and replied, “Maybe they can fight half a wave.” “Then let’s try it.”

“Okay.”

After the plan was settled, a hundred green feces balls were thrown at the bronze giant.

All of a sudden, the giant was smeared with a thick layer of excrement.

At this moment, the bronze giant was motionless, as if it were really being charged.

But it was also possible that it had been short-circuited by the wet waste.

The players moved on boldly with thick grass ropes on their back.

It would be too much a shame if such a huge giant was destroyed. It could probably be sold for a lot of money after the feces were cleaned off.

Such a mobile robot definitely contained magic technologies that they were unaware of. They could always sell the information to the Mages even if they couldn’t understand it.

Their potential customers included Roland, O’Neal, and other Mages.

However, they encountered something even more brutal than they had expected.

The moment they were about to approach the bronze giant, the giant moved.

The players were prepared. They cast out Dimensional Anchor scrolls in case the bronze giant killed them by flashing.

However... that was when the tragedy happened.

The bronze giant was covered in a thick layer of feces.

It was also spinning fast.

What would that cause?

A storm of solid waste that was spurted out in all directions.

Although the bronze giant couldn’t flash anymore, it could still move. While spinning its upper body and moving its lower body, it raised a tornado as well as a shower of yellow-and-green “sticky mud.” Half of the players had already thrown up and lost their combat ability before they approached it.

Then, those players were minced.

As for the other half of the players... They ran off quickly and cowardly.

They dared not even pick up their fallen shoes.

“Wussies! You wussies!”

The chairman of Fatter Cat shouted with bitter grief, “A true warrior should be brave enough to confront flying s*it!”

“Just go yourself if you think you’re brave!” a player snapped angrily.

“Tsk...” The chairman snorted. “Players nowadays are too smart to be provoked.”

Looking at the bronze giant that was recharged near Tebesia, the players were truly worried.

This thing was impressive. It only knew one move, Blade Storm, yet the players couldn’t defeat it at all.

The enemies in the Spatial Magic Tower must be laughing their heads off watching all this.

However, the truth was the opposite of what they pictured.

The four elders in the Spatial Magic Tower couldn’t be more worried.

“The Golden Sons are stopping our golem from being recharged through self-sacrifices. What do we do?”

“I already said that the golem was poorly designed. It should’ve been charged while it was still dormant instead of when it woke up.”

“However, charging such an enormous golem would cause a great tide of magic power that other people would notice. Besides, a fully-charged golem might go on a rampage.”

“Then set a cap for the charge.” “That’s impossible. Golems have basic intelligence. They’re already creatures. Just like it’s our instinct to eat food, it will consume as much energy as possible when it’s charged.”

“Then, we’ll have to activate the ultimate plan: soul replacement.” Greene seemed to be struggling. “Let a Master Mage place their soul in the golem and replace its budding consciousness. That way, the golem will be under our control, and the charge can be performed more judiciously.”

“That’s too inhumane.”

“Better than letting the Magic Tower be conquered.” Pylos thought for a moment and said, “I know a man who’s a Master and willing to control the golem.” “Who?”

“A man who is willing to sacrifice everything for love.”

Three hours later, a young couple stood on the city wall of Tebesia.

On the other side of the wall was the enormous head of the golem, which looked intimidating just meters away from the wall.

The red-haired young girl gently folded the young man’s hands in her own. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and benevolence. “Go, Barton. This is your future and your freedom. See who our enemies are, and save the future of our Magic Tower if they’re evil, okay?”

“My life is yours!” The man fell to his knees and kissed the back of the woman’s hand. His tears flooded out and he sobbed. “I’m willing to give up everything for you!” He cried aloud and looked at the woman with great affection.

The red-haired girl encouraged him with gentle eyes.

In the end, he wiped his eyes and stood on top of the golem’s head with a floating spell. Then, he gazed at the red-haired girl.

Elder Pylos, who had waited a long time, pointed at the young man.

Strange light emanated from the golem’s head, and the man quickly disintegrated into ashes.

A transparent figure crawled into the golem’s head.

The stripes on the golem quickly turned red, and they flowed in a fixed rhythm, as if they were being pumped by a heart. Staring at the transforming golem, the red-haired girl was filled with excitement “It’s so gorgeous!”

Pylos smiled too. “Our golem is now finally completed.”

The players who were keeping an eye on the golem were all greatly surprised.

“Shoot! The Gundam has an HP bar now!” An extremely long HP bar appeared above the bronze giant in the views of all the players.

There was also a name behind the bar.

Intelligent Golem (Overlord)

Behind the name was the icon of a blood-red skeleton.

It all looked rather frightening.
