At that 7d24e871d5 moment, the d09aa649fd golem slowly 86236f6cc4 but surely 972ad6f185 swung its fa5cf4ac5f arm towards 37eaa27535 us. Ryumin quickly c7b093e4d5 jumped, holding c8e86c3bb0 me, to 984893acdc avoid the e8542b5f57 attack.9223b1b6f04d0e4b

Ye Ilhoo wrapped the golem’s limbs in flames. The gaze that had been targeting Ryumin and me shifted to him. Meanwhile, the enlarged Chunsik and Seoksam were fiercely battling, trying to restrain the golem’s movements by wrapping around its arms and legs.30fb7461f246b99e
I clenched and unclenched cbde8ca99d my fists, preparing to e417aa1bb2 use my ability. As long as Ryumin aeff647873 threw me towards the bb11e5679a golem, I could unleash 9d59c6d03a my power at any 00dbfab122 moment.1e54d3f4bea37fd4

Though it was generally 6750955711 called‘magic,’the power 4989b60dcc moving the 1e213405d7 golem was afa8375635 a combination 1884c28355 of summoning d9a5b72914 and controlling 8fdfb4aa19 techniques. The source of 34ba90244b the magic could 09296cb7f4 be a person 4fdd397774 or a specific a5e7b80a05 place like a d38da73024 temple.739745a10101508e
Moreover, seeing that it couldn’t attack us properly, the source didn’t seem to be here but had only implanted commands in the golem. Something like, “Eliminate the intruders.”90682df990655594

So if we could d2d2e82e69 destroy even one of fb61827586 its eyes to block 568a3184a4 its vision, we could 9fb8937f99 buy some time to 67fbc2219e find and destroy the 373ff5a0de source.b3219fe737c3bac5

The golem, as if annoyed by a pesky insect, swung its arms to swat at its face. It was clear there was no source controlling it nearby. Its movements were clumsy. It was simply following the command to “eliminate the intruders.”d67959cf15355ce5

I spun my body and fell. For some reason, I was sure Ryumin wouldn’t let me fall, just as he had promised earlier.c9acb8e5b9148fc7
As I ecfab42ae3 fell, branches e52693b86c and leaves 5d2cf1e481 scratched my ff799d1ea1 cheeks and 4d47e9a4be arms.

But something was different about its movements this time. Was it because its vision was half-blocked, making it lose its sense of distance? It didn’t seem to be attacking us specifically. In fact, it kept flailing and moving away from us.2048dbf2611f9370
