The Golem Mage

Chapter 1104: Ice Lord 1.

This time, Shin dashed forward as if he intended to bypass the flaming puppet in battle before getting to Beatrice, but then he threw out three spherical balls before he even got to the puppet. Beatrice immediately assumed he was attempting the same smoke bomb trick again when she saw what he did.

So she twitched her left fingers which had mana threads attached to the flaming puppet and urged the flaming puppet forward, and this was when it even had the gaping wound in its chest, however when she was waiting for smoke to burst out when the balls made contact with the flaming puppet, she saw Shin make a sharp turn and suddenly started sprinting away from the flaming puppet.

At the exact same time when he turned his head, he saw Beatrice slammed her foot against the wooden spider and used it as a platform to rise higher, and it seems to the crowd that she had chosen this course of action because Shin’s reaction clearly indicated that something was wrong with the balls that he had sent flying.

Boom!

Not long after, the three balls Shin had thrown at the flaming puppet exploded, and it was no small blast, the explosion rocked the battlefield, and this time the flaming puppet did not survive it, because he was at the center of the blast, causing his body to be blown to smithereens.

Meanwhile, Shin had turned into smoke at the last second, escaping the blaze, but both the wooden spider puppet and Beatrice had far less protection like he did.

Though the wooden spider was a little farther from the center of the explosion, however; the blast had spread across a wide enough range to catch it as well, as for Beatrice, the shockwave had sent her flying further into the air as she seemed to lose consciousness from the waves that hit her.

That was when a swooshing sound rang out, the next thing they saw was a hook-like wire coiling around Beatrice while her body was still airborne.

And like magic, Shin reappears as the smoke haze surrounding his body seems to have disappeared completely, a rope wrapped around his right hand, clearly revealing that he was the one responsible for the wire that coiled around her.

However, he had not just re-appeared just for show, he was trying to finish her for good, Shin stretched out his left hand, and caught the hooked end of the weapon, and was about to drag Beatrice’s ensnared body down, but then a sharp pain suddenly tore through him.

Frowning, he looked down at his chest, where the pain was coming from, and to his shock, he saw a wooden leg jutting out through it, that made him glance back slightly.

There she was—Beatrice, still seated on the back of the wooden spider puppet that had emerged from the explosion with little damage.

Shin could hardly believe it, he looked forward again and still saw Beatrice’s body hanging in the air, which he had kept floating due to the runes on his wired hook.

Then he looked back at Beatrice sitting atop the wooden spider, as if silently asking which one was real, only then did Beatrice dismiss the spell.
