“So those golems will obey your command?” Nola asked. However, before I could even answer that question she continued in an unsure voice: “Exactly what happened down there?”
“Quite a bit actually, I’m sure you’ll definitely be interested.” Truly, I had to admit, my luck had been on the upswing recently. Not only was I blessed with a feather from Lucifer himself not too long ago, I even managed to snag a thousand golems for myself. Of those thousand, there were at least a hundred winged golems too. As long as I flashed this army of mine, sweeping over Sable Radiance should be easy…ahem, assuming the Overlords didn’t try and interfere.
Hearing the commotion I caused, Sinmosa and her family came trotting over soon after.
“All these golems…they’re yours?” Upon noticing the giant army of golems behind me, Sinmosa reacted in the exact same way as Nola did: with shock and disbelief. “Exactly what’s going on here?”
“Cinderel, come over here, quick.” Seeing her playmate, Mo Na hurriedly beckoned for the little black puppy who seemed to be just as excited as well. As she galloped towards Mo Na, tongue hanging in the air and tail wagging, she paid no attention whatsoever to her father’s three frowning faces.
“I know we’ve only been away for a short while but we’ve really picked up quite a few stuff while we were gone.” My voice lightened up somewhat thanks to the heartwarming scene of Mo Na frolicking around with Cinderel.
Since everyone was present, I took the opportunity to briefly go through our spoils from the weapon factory. However, before I could even finish, I was interrupted by Nola’s disbelieving gasp: “A thousand golems?! And those winged ones…they’re Seven-stars aren’t they?!”
“That’s right, I took some time to count them just now. There were a total of 1077 Abyssal Golems with 107 of them being winged. According to the black leather book, they are the squad leaders.” I nodded my head in excitement. “Because there were just too many of them down there, I only brought up a fraction of them. The rest are still awaiting orders in the weapons factory.”
“A thousand golems…” Sinmosa was just as dumbstruck by what she heard. “Unbelievable, to think there was actually such a frightening treasure trove beneath our feet…no wonder this entire region is so heavily guarded.”
With a thousand golems at my beck and call, I was no longer that nameless Devil, easily snuffed out by simple pinch. As long as the Overlords didn’t interfere, I was basically invincible.
Furthermore, lest one forgot, those Seven-stars Golems weren’t my only trump card, I still had that Eight-stars Fallen Angel statue…I just didn’t know how to activate it, that’s all…
“Little Brother, do you wish to find out how to activate that statue?” Just as I mulling over that issue, Ferti’nier’s bewitching voice came floating through my head, helpful as always and ready to throw me into another pit of her own making. Instantly, my mind went on high alert.
[You…what are you up to this time? Is there even anything left on my body worth taking away?]
“Hohoho, why is Little Brother acting so wary of this one?”
[Let’s be clear here, don’t try and scam me into another agreement, I’ve seen through you already. You’re just a giant trap.]
“How is this one a trap?”
[You dare deny that?! What about that whole incident with the back cover of the book? You could’ve just said so, instead you chose to start some nonsense about terms and conditions…I can’t take it anymore, I tell you…just spare me…]
“Hmph, how is it this one’s fault if you’re blind as a bat?” She harrumphed with dissatisfaction. A moment later however, her usual levity returned: “This one isn’t trying to scam you at all, it was Little Brother who chose to jump into that trap himself.”
‘I…I have nothing more to say…this discussion is done.’
Noticing my exasperation as well, she finally stopped rubbing salt into my wounds and instead said so: “Little Brother, all you have to do is walk up to that statue and give it a tap with the Gem of Authority.”
