Chapter 114 - Charm Golems?
"Oi!!! Let's go quickly."
One month after the entrance examination ended, Sam was currently with Alexa and Fiona. The three of them had decided to team up to enter the danger zone together.
They still had some time before joining Academics. But before that, Sam wanted to venture inside the danger zone. When Alexa and Fiona found out, they both chose to accompany him.
At least Alexa and Fiona had not faced any objections from their families.
Currently, the three of them were present inside Border City B, waiting for their chance to pass through the security check and enter the danger zone.
As usual, the moment they entered Border City B, they could feel the dense spiritual energy surrounding them. Compared to Venus City or Central City, the spiritual energy there was filled with various auras.
From Epic-grade warriors to Mortal-grade warriors, everyone was present there, and all had to undergo the same process to enter the danger zone.
Sam quickly stepped forward toward the security checkpoint to get checked. All those personnel were appointed by the Warrior Association to ensure no criminals escaped the city.
It didn't take long, and Sam finally entered the danger zone, along with Alexa and Fiona.
"Guys!!!! I didn't expect to find you here."
Just as the three were about to move forward, they suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind. When they turned around, they saw Max, and surprisingly, Lisa, David, James, and Lily as well.
'As expected from the protagonist. Even though he didn't join Golden Dawn Academy, he still managed to make friends and form a squad.'
This bond would be invaluable during the final season. Lisa and the others wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice themselves for him. Sometimes, I really envy this kind of friendship and loyalty.'
"I didn't expect to meet you guys here. Which direction are you heading?"
Alexa, Fiona, and Sam greeted them. Alexa asked about their direction. If they were going the same way, they could team up.
"We will be going south."
"Unfortunately, we will be going north. Looks like we won't be able to go in the same direction."
Sam and the two girls would head north, while David and his team were going south, so the two teams were moving in opposite directions.
After a while,
"I really didn't expect to run into them here. I have to say, all of them have become good friends like us."
"Hehehe… isn't it normal? We all went through so many situations; it's natural to become friends."
Hearing this, Fiona nodded in agreement with Alexa. Sam just smiled. It was true that after going through all those situations, he also became close to Alexa and Fiona.
"Well, guys, now let's focus on our goal. We expect to find those Green Velvets here, but there's a huge chance we won't find many."
"At the same time, I don't want to risk going too deep inside the danger zone. So, we'll stay very cautious and avoid targeting any large groups of monsters."
"Even if we fail in the mission, we have to focus on our goal to collect those monsters."
Before advancing northward, Sam reminded the girls to be very careful and stay focused on their objective.
Before entering the danger zone, they had accepted a mission to collect Red Velvet flowers. They decided to go north because the client had indicated that the flowers could be found in that direction.
But don't forget, they did not come to the danger zone only to complete missions — they came here to fight monsters.
That was their primary goal, so even if they couldn't find much Red Velvet, it wouldn't matter.
"Hahahaha… don't worry. Do you think we're foolish enough to care? It's true that our strength has increased, but that doesn't mean we're invincible."
With that, the three began advancing northward. Naturally, they weren't alone — many other warriors were heading in the same direction.
Not far from their location, sounds of fighting and metal clashing rang out. Many warriors were using spells to attack their opponents.
Fortunately, Sam and his team did not encounter any monsters.
Thirty minutes later,
"Shhh!!! Don't make a sound. Even though these monsters aren't strong, they are very valuable."
Fiona whispered to Alexa and Sam to remain silent as she suddenly spotted a group of rock golem-like monsters.
They looked like robots made of stone, but the most surprising thing was the diamond-like gem on their foreheads. These golems were called Charm Golems.
You could collect those diamonds from their foreheads and sell them inside the Warrior Association. The diamonds were very valuable because of their unique properties.
Not only could they be used as accessories, but they also had the ability to create defense barriers. If you could create a defense barrier without the diamond, then adding the diamond would enhance the power of your barrier.
It was easy to see why these diamonds were so rare. So, when Fiona spotted two Charm Golems in front of them, she didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Don't rush. I don't think this is as simple as it seems. Did you notice there are no other monsters or warriors nearby?"
"This is definitely not normal. Given how valuable those monsters are, no warrior would want to miss a chance to capture them."
Sam quickly told Fiona not to take any action. Even though the situation seemed normal on the surface, it wasn't. Something was definitely going on.
After Sam's explanation, Alexa and Fiona realized the same. Why hadn't these Charm Golems attracted any warriors' attention?
"Shhh!!! It looks like another group has found these monsters and is trying to approach them. We should watch from here and see what happens."
Suddenly, Alexa noticed a group slowly approaching the two Charm Golems. She immediately alerted Fiona and Sam.
*******
"Boss!!! I didn't think we'd be this lucky. This is the first time I've seen Charm Golems. Hahaha… with these, you can attract the ladies to hang out with you."
One man, clad in black armor with white stripes, spoke happily to the person beside him. He was around 5 feet tall and wielded a spear.
The man he spoke to was approximately 6 feet tall in plain black armor without any adornments.
It seemed the taller man was the leader. You could tell just by looking at them.
Besides these two, three other members were approaching the golems.
"Once again, I want to remind everyone to stay cautious. We'll follow our usual strategy, but this time we can't let those two monsters escape."
The leader didn't want the charm golems to get away and disappear deeper into the danger zone.
"Don't worry, boss. We will make sure these monsters don't escape. I think we should hurry though, because others might find them soon."
Hearing this, the group increased their pace as they approached the monsters.
Everything was going smoothly as they prepared to surround the golems.
'What is this sweet fragrance?'
The leader noticed a sweet fragrance in the air as he got closer to the golems. After smelling it, he suddenly felt relaxed.
Not only him, but all his teammates felt the same. Despite their attempts to approach, the fragrance had a calming effect.
The next second, the leader quickly attacked one of the monsters.
"Chiii!!!!!"
The monster let out a painful cry. But the leader wasn't finished; he was determined to capture it.
Fortunately, Charm Golems weren't as powerful as normal golems. They had strong defenses but weak attack power, which was a huge advantage for those warriors.
"Quickly attack from the left side!!!"
The leader quickly gave his command. Immediately he and his teammates attack those Monsters once again.
******
"Is this some kind of illusion attack? From when those golams can use illusion attacks? As expected the situation is not normal."
Both the girls alongside Sam have grim faces. They have seen everything from the start.
They have seen how those Warriors begin to approach those Monsters but suddenly they stop advancing toward those Monsters.
All of them kindly stood in front of those monsters like statues. Definitely all those 5 Warriors are affected by something.
From time to time they have various expressions on their face and it seems they have fallen into an illusion. But the question is that from when those Golems can use illusion techniques?
Fortunately Sam and the girls did not have to think that much because after a while they realised what was exactly going on. Suddenly those to charm golems disappear from that place.
The place where they were standing had nothing in it. It feels like those two Monsters faded into the air. But this is naturally not possible.
Before Sam and the girls thought anything they suddenly noticed movement in the ground. Suddenly a crack appeared in the ground and something came out from the ground.
Tree vines immediately appeared there and directly went toward those Warriors. As those warriors did not struggle, they were easily captured by those vines.
