Chapter 564 - Obsidian Golem

Once again, the third wave was nothing to Tang Shaoyang. He even tried to let the monster hit him but it dealt no damage on him. He was not hurt by their strike at all. Once again, he was standing in the same scenery where he was surrounded by the monster's corpses.

Blood splattered around his body, the fishy smell filled the atmosphere. The Hobgoblin Champion and the Wrath Troll returned toward him. Both monsters bowed their heads.

"I killed more enemies than Goru, My Lord!" Trian to show his achievement that he was doing better than the Hobgoblin Champion. Since the two monsters met in the spiritual space both became a rival for some reason. He did not know the cause but the race difference might be the source of the two rivalries.

Goru the Hobgoblin Champion lowered his head. The hobgoblin was ashamed to meet with his Master's gaze after his defeat. That was quite surprising from the monsters.

Tang Shaoyang nodded his head, "Good job for you two," He praised the Wrath Troll, pushing the troll's arrogance over the top. But then he came up with an unexpected decision, "It's okay, Goru. I will upgrade you to Grade C+ Spirit. Keep it up!"

The hobgoblin raised his head with a surprised expression. He was not expecting that his Master would reward him instead of the troll. The same with Goru, Trian had a surprised expression as well.

Of course, the reason he wanted to upgrade the hobgoblin up to the Grade C+ Spirit was that he felt that the Grade C Spirit was too weak. He had seen the Hobgoblin Champion's performance in the last two waves and it was not up to his satisfaction. So he was not cheering for the sad hobgoblin because he felt it was necessary to upgrade the Hobgoblin.

'But this is weird. Karan is much stronger than this hobgoblin while both are the same grade spirit,' He could not help but compare Karan and Goru. Karan has reached Grade C+ but Karan in Grade C was stronger than Goru in Grade C.

Both spirits returned to the spiritual space at his order, and Tang Shaoyang extended his hands toward the corpses around him. He then activated the [Spirit Advancement] for Goru the Hobgoblin Champion.

There was no counter for how many he had sacrificed to advance Goru the Hobgoblin Champion. His mind focused on using the stage-4 monsters as sacrifices instead of stage-5 monsters and stage-6 sacrifices. He could see that the stage-4 monster's carcasses disappeared very quickly.

[Your Grade C Spirit, Goru the Hobgoblin Champion has advanced to Grade C+ Spirit!]

As the advancement bar went back to empty again, Tang Shaoyang heard the notification in his head. Of course, he stopped at that. He was not going to use the remaining bodies for Goru. The hobgoblin was not a special spirit that was worth being nurtured. He was not going to waste his time on that.

After Goru the Hobgoblin Champion had advanced to Grade C+ Spirit, Tang Shaoyang stopped the [Spirit Advancement]. He then switched the skill to [Epic Summoning]. He did not know how many sacrifices were left but he estimated that should be enough to summon at least Grade B Spirit.

The monsters' carcasses exploded into black mists this time. The black mist swirled around in the atmosphere, creating a storm of black mist before it gathered at one spot, creating a tornado black mist. The tornado reached at least twenty meters in height.

Right after that, a four meters figure came out of the black mist. The figure was made of black stones? Yes, the monster's body was composed of black stones. This was the first time that Tang Shaoyang saw this kind of monster.

[You have summoned Grade B Spirit, Daro the Obsidian golem Newborn!]

"Obsidian golem?" Tang Shaoyang looked toward the figure and muttered in a low voice. This was his first encounter with golem but it was not like he had not heard about this stone monster before. Lu An, Gu Yingjie, and Yu Shun talked about this golem monster before when he inquired about the game, "So this is the golem? And a newborn, huh!?"

He felt that the Obsidian golem was special since it was just a newborn. That meant the golem had not reached its adulthood before it died and became a spirit. He felt that the Obsidian golem has more potential than the Wrath Troll even though both were the same grade spirit.

"Are you the one who summoned me, Mister?" Suddenly he heard a childish voice enter his head. Yes, he heard the voice in his head instead of his ears. It was as if the voice was talking to his mind directly.

Tang Shaoyang snapped out from his trance and looked toward the Obsidian golem. The voice belonged to a boy, meaning the golem also had a gender? That was weird for a stone monster to have a gender. His mind kept wandering around, like how the golem reproduction was? Were they also having sex or mating since they had a gender? If so, how do golems mating?

"That's just stupid of me," Tang Shaoyang shook his head and looked toward the golem, "Are you the one who talks with me?"

"Yes, Mister. I assume you are the one who summoned me…" There was a pause there as the golem scanned its surroundings, "Is this your word, Mister?"

"No! This is not my world. This is a separate dimension where I had to pass a trial," Tang Shaoyang explained to the kid golem, "You seem to know what you are up to. Let's not waste our time with a fight but what about if we come up with terms and establish the contract instead?"

Daro then turned toward Tang Shaoyang, "You are right about that, Mister. I don't want to fight you either. You look pretty strong to me, fighting you will only hurt me," The Obsidian golem was quite quick-witted and had a sharp sense to say that. The kid golem realized that he could not win against Tang Shaoyang.

"I will say my terms. I want you to kill the Demon Lord Frian for me. For that, I will pay you with any price," The golem kid expressed his terms with seething hatred within his voice.

"I see…" Tang Shaoyang nodded and rubbed his chin, "For that, I need to know your original world, and there's a big chance that I could not fulfill that promise. We need to find the portal gate that will lead to your original world but there are so many worlds and yours are just one of many. It will take time before we can find your world or maybe we can never reach your world, at all. However, I promise you that if we can reach your world. I promise you that I will kill Demon Lord Frian for you!"

Even though he was speaking with a kid, Tang Shaoyang did not plan to deceive the Obsidian golem Newborn. He told the kid golem his honest thoughts that there was a chance that they would not be able to resolve the grudge.

"That promise is enough for me, Mister. I am willing to be your Contracted Spirit as long as you keep your promise. As for my Original World, it's called Zedekan," The Obsidian golem Newborn easily trusted his words and agreed with the contract.

The glowing magic circle formed on the Obsidian golem's forehead after that. Doru then lowered himself, "There's no need for you to lower your head. I can reach it," He then walked in the air toward the golem's head and placed his hand on the magic circle.

[You have established a contract with a Grade B Spirit, Doru the Obsidian golem Newborn!]

Doru's figure broke into black mist and entered his forehead. There was no complicated progress during the contracting process. It was an easy and quick process.

"If only all spirits are like Doru, that would be nice," Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. He knew that it was impossible as the stronger spirit was, the spirit would be more arrogant and had a big ego. They would not just agree with the temptation of being resurrected or even a chance to resolve their vengeance.

[Fourth Wave]

Composition: 50,000 Stage 4 Monsters, and 25,000 Stage 5 Monsters, 3,000 Stage 6 Monsters, 1000 Stage 7 Monsters

Countdown: 01:02:29

——————————

Tang Shaoyang opened the interface for the next wave. He would face 78000 monsters in the next wave with Stage-7 Monster being the strongest monster. The Epic Beastmen was not a threat to him so he doubted that 1000 stage-7 monsters would be a threat to him either.

"I will split the sacrifices and summon two new spirits next!" That was his goal for the next summoning, "And now I have another hour to waste. Doru, can you tell me more about Zedekan and also this Demon Lord Frian?"

Zedekan was a fantasy world to Tang Shaoyang. At least it was nowhere near the Earth. Magic and other supernatural powers existed even before the game. When the game started, it only evolved the magic and the supernatural powers to a new height. Thanks to the game, the demons that wreaked havoc on Zedekan World evolved faster.

Years into the game, Seven Demon Lords appeared. That was the start of the Endless War between races, human, beast-kin, monster, demon, and other races.

Doru was a summoned monster that belonged to a human summoner. The golem kid grew together with his Master until the force of the Demon Lord Frian attacked the territory where his Master resided. The young summoner was forced to fight against the demon but with the not fully grown golem, the young summoner and the kid golem became cannon fodder on the battlefield.
