Cultivation Through Artifacts

"W-What should we do? Let the creature consume the Lava Fruit?" Liza asked Khal in a lowered voice.

Khal stared at the Magma Golem with narrowed eyes, seemingly pondering on what he should do.

Even though he was quite confident in his ability to kill this Magma Golem with a single strike thanks to his insane amount of Body Essence, with the man lurking around him all the time he has to be careful with each of his moves, especially the ones he used during his time killing Alde and his men.

Of course, this did not mean he was helpless as he had quite a few cards up in his sleeves, but he didn't really want to use them as that would only mean he would show his strength to his enemy.

However, considering that it was a Lava Fruit he was talking about, Khal could only sigh and say, "Stay behind, I will take care of it."

"Eh? A-Are you sure? That Beast is a Magma Golem we are talking about! Even though that Lava Fruit is truly a priceless treasure, there is no reason for you to risk your life for it!" Liza quickly opposed Khal's idea, trying to convince Khal to forgot about fighting such a creature alone.

Maybe he was already a Sixth Stage Cultivator with terrifying powers, he would be a fool to fight against a Magna Golem, especially alone!

Although she didn't know what a Lava Fruit was before, she clearly understood what kind of creature was a Magma Golem. Just like Rock Golems, they were capable of regeneration infinitely, but instead of one core in their body, they had three!

Furthermore, Magma Golems were able to control lava around their proximity, making them not only fearsome opponents that were literally immortals but also ones with scary powers that could kill almost everyone with a single strike!

Khal understood Liza's worry, but he just smiled before speaking in a confident voice, "No need to worry, I will be fine."

And without waiting for Liza to respond, Khal vanished from his spot before reappearing next to the Magma Golem's feet and swinging his Devil Fangs.

Swish!

BAM!

With his Body Essence fused into his weapon, Khal sliced the creature's left leg, which was almost three houses in size, off, and quickly activated his Heaven's Eyes.

'Not here?' Khal frowned when he saw that the Magma Golem had none of its cores in his left leg, even though all the indications he just saw told him one should be there!

However, he quickly realized that something was off, as the moment he chopped the creature's leg off, the ground below his feet suddenly began to turn crimson and turn softer and softer with each second at a rapid pace!

'Not good!'

Khal immediately realized his mistake and without a second thought activated his Secret Art's Third Form, the Emerald Snake Dance!

Whoosh!

BOOM!

Exactly as he jumped away and avoided his almost sudden death, Khal watched from a distance as the spot he just stood a few moments ago now was a fountain of lava, sending a chill down his spine when he thought what could have happened just now!

TREMBLE!!!

The earth shook as the Magma Golem colossal body came to an abrupt halt, its upper body turning toward Khal's direction while its left leg has already regenerated back from the previous assault.

'...'

Khal stared at the Magma Golem with a nonchalant look, but his eyes never ceased to search for little signs that could tell him its cores location.

Though he couldn't search for long as the Magma Golem suddenly moved again, but instead of moving toward the Lava Fruit as it previously did, it decided to move toward Khal with the intent of kill!

Normally, Magma Golems would ignore almost everyone on and below their Stage, as they could not pose them any threat at all. Yet, when it got attacked by a being that was akin to an ant in its eyes just now, it realized that its life could be in immediate danger if it didn't take care of it right then and there!

Khal knew this too and was shocked to see this, but he didn't feel scared nor anxious but instead a smile formed on his face.

'Let's try 'that' out then!' Khal said to himself and immediately after that, both of his feet were covered in rotating blue flames which in truth were his Body Essence!

However, instead of the usual rotation that was when he used his Crimson Snake Dance form, this time they rotated extremely fast, almost to the point where they seemed blurry!

The Dance of The Celestial Serpent Fifth Form; Orchid Snake Dance!

BOOM!

And right as he moved, the spot where he stood exploded, sending lava into the air!

However, Khal couldn't care about it the least as he moved toward the Magma Golem with insane speed, while his eyes stared at its body without blinking!

'Where are they?' Khal tried to figure out the three core's location.

Thanks to the book that carried almost all the knowledge he needed, Khal knew that just like Rock Golems, Magma Golems had special behaviors that could tell him their cores' locations.

Yet, when he noticed its behavior previously and destroyed its leg where one of its core should have been, he found it with surprise that there were none!

This made him ponder deeply as it made no sense for him, but after a small while later his eyes suddenly lit up like stars on the night sky, and his mouth curved upwards.

'So that is the case, huh?' Khal immediately accelerated his speed while avoiding several lava streams that broke onto the surface from below.

Whoosh!

'It should be here, right?' Khal thought to himself once he appeared before the abdomen of the creature and without further ado, he smashed his right feet deeply into the Magma Golem's body!

BOOM!

And almost the very next instant as he said that, the Essence around his feet burst forward, crashing into the Magma Golem and forming an enormous gash in its lower body!
