The Golem Mage

Alec had only been able to notice a weakness thanks to Hunter’s strike that managed to pierce through its defence, with his Energy Eyes special active, Alec picked up details invisible to others.

He observed that whenever the caterpillar prepared to attack or defend, its carapace shifted slightly to accumulate mana, creating a tiny gap in its impenetrable defence, that fleeting space and gaps that appeared just happened to be its weak spot.

Though its carapace appeared impenetrable, Alec knew that someone far stronger and in a higher realm could shatter it with ease.

However, he and his golems weren’t at that level yet, so he had to rely on the only option available, exploiting that momentary weakness.

With his Energy Eyes active, Alec was confident he could land a strike far more effective than anything they had tried so far.

He willed his limiters to release.

Thud.

The four limiters strapped across his body fell to the ground, one after another, as his aura surged, his realm rose sharply, climbing until it settled at the High Tier 6 mage realm.

Without hesitation, Alec bent his knees and sprang off the ground with nothing but raw physical strength, feeling the surreal difference of moving unhindered by augmentation.

Mid-lunge, he ordered his golems to watch for the fleeting gap in the caterpillar’s defences before it launched its next attack.

But before his command could even finish, the caterpillar opened its maw and spat a massive glob of green liquid at him, the stench alone screaming of toxicity.

Instinctively, Alec swung his right claw forward.
