Chereads / Ruin's Embrace: The Darkened Legacy / Chapter 22 - Golem Army

Chapter 22 - Golem Army

Finally, I have gathered 10 million black gems.

after 6 months of cursed hard work. I thought I would never collect them, no matter what I did. Well, I guess I will finally enter level nine. I have become a mage. Damn it, this time I will surely pass the cursed 8th floor test.

Wait for me, you dumb statues. This king will bring you a surprise. Hahaha...

I headed straight to the skills section in the store. The king Jaha previously told me that the best type of skill is the Sacred Books, for two reasons. Firstly, they are incredibly powerful skills. The rankings of the Sacred Books are truly peculiar, ranging from weak to strong. However, Sacred Books are rare even in the main worlds. Damn it, luck plays a significant role.

But he said that not everyone can learn the Sacred Books. That's why they believe some of them are weak. Damn it, those who understand the book will truly grasp immense power. Damn it, but the second reason is truly astonishing. The system can develop and upgrade the Sacred Books to a higher level. Damn it, but the cost is extremely high...

"Do you want to buy the first part of the Sacred Book: 'Ancient Formation'?"

Confirmation, of course. I couldn't even read its name, but I understood that it was an ancient formation. In ancient times, various powerful entities existed. For a book to be considered sacred in that era, it must be something extraordinary. Well, I will name it the Ancient Formation until I know its full name.

A strange sensation overwhelmed me as I received information from the book. Damn it, a beast within me awakened. But what was strange was the change happening to my body. Mysterious formations appeared, and my entire body became filled with these strange inscriptions. The temperature of my body rose sharply.

I even began to cough up blood due to excessive fighting these days. I have been beaten many times, it has become ordinary. I just feel a bit strange. My body shouldn't be filled with these cursed things.

After a while, my body returned to normal. But the strange thing is that this thing somehow connected to the Dark Nebula in my Dan Tian. There are now five slowly rotating black holes, and those inscriptions appear on these cursed vortexes...

This is a tremendous addition to training speed. I feel that I will achieve a breakthrough soon... I am now at level 9 in the Earth Spirit Gathering World.

Hahaha, did you think I was just fooling around? I am a genius at training, but the problem lies in this world. The energy is extremely weak. It is advisable for me to train with the help of medicinal pills.

But I was saving money for this skill. The currency of the system is extremely expensive. In this continent, only the great characters possess a few black crystals. The main currency is simply white crystals. Ah, it's a hollow world after all.

After a whole day of contemplation, I finally managed to create my first formation in white color. I have become a beginner mage with a white formation. Damn it, this is a significant achievement because in the hollow worlds, it is impossible to find any mages here. I have broken this rule at this moment.

But this is not enough, just a white formation. I am cursed once again.

Title: The Catastrophe.

Well, these are some good statistics, but I haven't made much progress. Of course, I abandoned the Sun's Destruction Dragon skill from the Mythic Rank. Instead, I acquired the Dragon's Elements Seal, an extremely powerful skill that allows me to create multiple elemental dragons at once. However, for now, I can only use the Lightning and Flame elements. I don't know why, but the Emperor of Thunder skill is exceptionally peculiar. Even after extensive training, I've barely reached the fourth level. It remains a mysterious classification after all.

Well, today I'll make use of the eighth floor to enhance my golem. Hahahaha. Now that I've become a Magus, I can directly utilize the Celestial Formation skill. Crimson lightning and violet flames begin to dance around my body. Shapes start to form in front of me, of course, I have control over the form, but it takes a lot of time.

After a full week, I reached the limits of the skill and created a total of 1000 golems from each element, making it 2000 golems in total. They stand beside me, eternal beings. Hahahaha. The skill states that as long as they are completely destroyed, they will automatically return to the range, but it takes some time for them to regenerate fully.

Damn, this is extremely ideal. They might even acquire their own personality and special awareness when they reach a certain level. But I'm far from that level at the moment. They are just robots utilizing the natural elements efficiently. We immediately head inside the tower. It's strange that the tower doesn't allow the use of energy, but the golems are different from energy. They are a special futuristic army. Hahahaha, I was astonished by their power at first. These things can kill anything beneath the sky's realm.

Damn, they even rival the strength of the first unit... Hahahaha.

With this power, I'll be able to advance to the ninth floor.

So far, a full six months have passed, and I haven't encountered Jaha during that time. I wonder how Boros is progressing in his training. Hahahaha, damn it. The ninth floor will be extremely challenging, as the system claims it's different...
