Chapter 36 Your mission is over
Every blow of the golem missed, but the huge power spread along the floor to the soles of everyone's feet, making everyone deeply aware that as long as they were hit once, they could bid farewell to this world.
Although there is no big problem yet, physical strength is not unlimited, and flesh and blood cannot be compared with machinery. If no breakthrough can be found, continuing the stalemate will only increase the risk of being punched to death.
"Let's retreat. Leave here first and then think about countermeasures."
Zoya's suggestion is the most suitable choice, and Zola also knows this.
But she was unwilling to do so.
I finally got here under your guidance, but I didn't expect to run away in despair.
Is there really no other way?
"Zola! I know you don't want to, but you can only retreat now!"
As soon as Zhuo Ya finished speaking, she suddenly saw a divine aura rising in front of Zola, who had her back turned to her.
Druid Al saw this and said:
"It's divine magic! Did the Demon King and God Lord intervene?"
The golden divine holy light changed erratically in front of Zola. Zola was a little overwhelmed at first, but immediately she seemed to be reminded by the Demon King God, and she threw away the steel sword and stretched out her hand towards the divine holy light.
The originally ever-changing divine light gathered in Zola's hand and turned into a heavy golden war hammer in the blink of an eye.
"Energy-beaming weapons... This is the power given to me by Your Majesty! I understand! I will never disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!"
Zora grabbed the warhammer, which was taller than her. It was so light that it seemed weightless.
"Use a lasso!"
The two knights of the guard who were entangled with the golem immediately took off the ropes around their waists and tied the knot with ten fingers in the blink of an eye.
A knight can do more than just swing a sword. Playing with ropes is a traditional craft for knights. Some poor knights even make ropes to support their families.
Zola deliberately took a few steps forward, causing the golem to raise its arms.
The guard knights on the left and right saw the right moment, threw the rope loop out, and accurately put it on the golem's arms.
The power of the golem cannot be resisted by humans. Even if a person can pull it, the rope cannot hold it.
They tied the rope to the stone pillar not far away as quickly as possible. The rope tightened almost as soon as it was tied.
The finger-thick, oil-impregnated hemp rope is very strong, but it is still far inferior to the brute strength of the golem. When pulling, you can see layers of fine fibers exploding on the rope.
Druid Al took the opportunity to drive the vines again, entangled the golem's feet trying to pull the rope to move.
Under the pull of these three parties, the golem's movements finally stagnated for a moment.
"Power rises!"
Zola seized the momentary opportunity and rushed towards the golem:
"Strength is super increased!"
With the increase in combat skills, Zola picked up the energy-beam weapon given by the Demon King God and hit the demon statue hard on the waist.
This time the strong armor immediately dented, and the warhammer composed of sacred energy was embedded in it.
"drink!"
Zola yelled angrily and pulled out the war hammer with all her strength.
The other end of the warhammer's barb hooked the armor plate, and the large rivets were dragged out by brute force. A piece of armor plate was torn apart by Zora, revealing the gears running with magic aura inside. .
At this time, the rope could no longer hold it, and the two hemp ropes exploded with a bang. The freed golem punched Zola.
And Zola is just at the stage where he exerts too much force and needs to slow down. That is, in martial arts novels, when the old strength has gone and the new strength has not yet been regenerated, there is no way to avoid it perfectly.
"Phase shot!"
At the critical moment, Zoya shot an arrow.
After the arrow left the bow arm, it seemed to melt into the air and disappear. At the same time, it appeared in the hole exposed by the golem's armor plate, as if it had been stuck there from beginning to end.
Phase shooting is the ability of the magic archer. As long as you aim, you will definitely hit the target, ignoring the flight time of the arrow.
The arrow was accurately stuck in the gear on the golem's waist. As a series of fierce sparks flew up, the golem's downward movement of the arm seemed to be rusty and malfunctioning. This stagnation gave Zola a chance.
She shook her hands, and the huge heavy war hammer in her hand split into two in the aura and turned into two light hammers.
Zola, who was strong and strong, hit the golem's back with a light hammer, and climbed up in a few clicks, just like climbing up with a mountain pick.
"Intruder! Show me your power, and the Demon King's Ring will be watching you!"
The golem's head turned 180° and looked at Zola who was climbing up.
"This is for your Majesty's trust!"
She came out with both hammers, banging them hard, and the originally regular golem's head suddenly became pitted.
There was a crisp sound, and the arrow that had just been shot into the golem's gear was ejected. The golem's movements returned to smoothness, and it reached out to grab Zora on his body.
But Zola didn't jump down like Zoya did. Instead, she swung two light hammers down at the same time and hooked the golem's chin with the barb structure at the other end of the hammer.
"A product of the mythical age! You should disappear!"
The brute force of the increased combat skills made the golem's metal structure creak uneasily. When his fingers were about to touch Zora, the golem's neck made a snapping sound, and the entire head was struck by Zora. He pried it off and dropped it to the floor.
The magic aura flickering under the golem's armor exploded and disappeared. It also immediately lost its balance, and its heavy body fell backwards, returning to calm amidst the roar.
"Invasion...! To...your power, the Demon King's Ring...!"
The head that fell to the ground still said the same words, but this time it became intermittent, as if it was about to short-circuit.
Zola put her hands on her legs and took a deep breath, which had just consumed too much of her energy.
But when she heard the golem's words, she turned around and said:
"Your Majesty has been watching us. Your mission is over."
The red dots on the golem's head that seemed to be eyes gradually dimmed, and there was no movement at all.
Several other people gathered around, wanting to confirm whether the golem had completely shut down.
Zoya looked at the ring on the golem's right hand:
"Is this the Ring of the Demon King that the golem said?"
"Have any of you heard of it?"
Everyone shook their heads, but the druid said:
"I remember that the legend mentioned that the Demon King God's finger has 10 powerful rings. Could it be that the demon king protects the Demon King God's artifact?"
When Zola heard this, she also walked to the golem's hand. She looked at the gorgeous and expensive ruby ring on the golem's finger and suddenly raised her foot.
"Your Majesty's ring cannot be worn by a golem! It is a fake!"
The iron boot fell and crushed the finger of the golem that had lost its magic protection. It also crushed the ring on the finger. The ruby was squeezed out and fell to the floor.
The artifact cannot be broken by being stepped on, and the ring on the golem's hand is a fake.
Realizing this, everyone heard the sound of stones rubbing against each other not far behind them. A little above the throne's back, the smooth stone wall suddenly opened a gap, revealing a palm-sized metal box.
There is an extremely complicated keyhole on one side of the box, which simply challenges people's perception of keys.
When Zola saw the keyhole, she reached for her purse and found the complicated Demon King's key. She compared it with the keyhole on the box and inserted it gently.
Perfect fit!
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, and Zola turned the key handle.
With a crisp click, the lid of the box popped open automatically, the aura on the Demon King's Key exploded, and it shattered and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Demon King's Key has completed its mission, and the attached magic spell has disappeared, so there is no need for the key to stay.
Inside the box that popped open was an ordinary gold ring, inlaid with an opal. The style of the ring was far less gorgeous than the ring on the golem's finger.
The druid exclaimed:
"Look, there's deerskin underneath the ring! It's still like new!"
The age of myth was at least a few thousand years away from now, and normal deer skin would have rotted away long ago.
The moment they discovered this detail, everyone realized that the ring in the box was the real Demon King's Ring.
