The earth mages continued pelting the Flesh Golem with a rain of boulders while at the same time expanding the pit below the Flesh Golem's feet. The Flesh Golem didn't put up any noticeable resistance in response to the earth mages' attacks and let itself sink into the ground while it endured the meteor shower with nothing but a few grunts.
As the Flesh Golem appeared to be unable to resist, the earth mages naturally grew confident that their endeavor had been successful.
General Scoll noticed the mages and troops' growing hope. He knew that it was false hope, but he didn't say anything since it would only needlessly bring down morale and make the troops subconsciously direct their ill feelings toward him. It would be better for the battle's progress if the troops turned all their fear and hatred toward the Flesh Golem instead of their commander.
