Obviously, the image of the rain-praying golem did not change, but when the devil's power clung to the golem, an inexplicable feeling of weirdness and great malice filled the hearts of everyone who continued to pay attention to this battle.
Except for Shade, the guardian Mr. Fleming and a few cultists, no one knew what the change at this moment meant. As the stone spikes in Shade's "seeing demon" perspective spread to the golem's face, the golem's mouth, which was originally just a horizontal line and had no opening function, actually opened.
To be more precise, the entire square chin slid downward, revealing a mouth hole on the golem's face.
The dark energy gathered, and the next moment, the beam of light directly pierced through the chest of the stone statue. While the two people on the shoulders of the stone statue were standing unsteadily, the stone spikes climbed up the back of the golem, and actually made it grow another two dark stone arms. The arms wrapped around the body of the stone statue at an astonishing speed, making it unable to move.
He gathered energy in his mouth again and shot out a dark beam of light, which this time evaporated the left and right hands of the stone statue. Then the golem's right hand slapped the two people and one ghost on the shoulders of the stone statue as if slapping a fly.
"The devil's real body has not come, it is testing me."
As Mr. Fleming spoke, an unknown magic formed a khaki hemispherical shield that enveloped the three people and blocked the giant stone hand. But then the golem's left hand also slapped over, and the spherical shield was almost shattered under the huge force. The stone statue that had lost both arms also had dense cracks on its surface under the impact of this force.
The dense cracks on the shield were as dense as a spider web. If Mr. Fleming had not continued to cast the spell, the witch's summon would have been broken. But even so, his spirit body became much more transparent, but he still held the Holy Grail in his hand.
"Stone Oxenfurt is definitely involved with the cultists. Could the ritual of summoning the evil god also be related to the devil?"
The people on the shore also noticed this sudden change. After a few shouts, the ring magicians in the air launched more intensive attacks on the golem, hoping to attract its attention. But the golem withstood the attacks from the church behind it, and even when the most serious blow pierced its shoulder, it refused to give up attacking the stone statue.
Under the lake, black mud continuously seeped out of the silt, spreading curses and plagues to the downstream of the water source. Above the lake, two giant stone statues were fighting in the blizzard, and the battle was almost over.
The golem's hands continued to press down, getting closer and closer to the statue's shoulders, and Mr. Fleming's shield became smaller and smaller.
Suddenly, the golem opened its mouth again, this time aiming directly at the shoulder. The dark beam of light shot directly at them without giving them any chance. Shade instinctively wanted to give up casting the spell and use the "Hedon Seal" to withstand the attack, but he didn't expect Luvia to block him:
"Thaumatology - Blessing of the Book."
A sky full of bookshelves flashed in the void, and then a transparent giant book-shaped purple shield blocked the three people. Luvia gritted her teeth and kept retreating, blocking the attack before her own shield was broken:
"You see, you and she always think I should stay behind, but I'm not as weak as you think."
Although the consumption was a bit large, the purple-eyed girl still smiled and said to Shade. Shade felt that the magic just now was quite familiar. Just as he was about to ask, Mr. Fleming, who was almost unable to hold up his shield, spoke:
"Powerful soul, this is not a solution. Fortunately, you called the church in advance, so the devil could not show up directly. Now, I will maintain the spell of 'Healing Aura', and you go to stop the relic golem."
"Wait, how do I stop this?"
Shade asked in surprise. It was not that he looked down on himself, but without using his divinity, even with the witch's ring, he and Luvia together would not be able to defeat the giant relic on the opposite side.
But then I thought of a solution:
"My magic puppetry can directly control this stone statue. This should be better than the lady on the shore. But if it's just this, it doesn't seem to improve the current situation."
Mr. Fleming shook his head.
"There is a way. Since you can directly control this stone statue, I can use an ancient ritual. Now the stone statue under our feet, you, your female companion and I, all possess the power of the earth. I will give you a chance to let the power of the earth resonate among the four of us, allowing you to control the stone statue and use the stone statue as a body to perform a thaumaturgical attack.
The Rainmaker Golem is easier to destroy than other relics, so this is a chance. Even if you can't destroy it, this attack will be enough to remove the power attached to it. If it works, the Rainmaker Golem will no longer be able to move. This can only be done by you, only if your soul is strong enough to do this."
"Using a stone statue as a body? Wait, what about consumption?"
Even if the method Mr. Fleming mentioned can be done, attacking with a larger body means more spirit will be consumed.
"I'll take care of it."
The soul has no hesitation.
"But then, wouldn't your soul..."
"I can still handle this kind of consumption."
"Okay, then, what type of thaumaturgy should I use?"
"Don't make direct contact, or the stone statue will be devoured by the power on the golem's surface. Don't use magic that would expose your identity. Although the evil demon is afraid of the church and dares not show up, it will definitely learn about tonight's situation from its allies and servants. It's best to bombard continuously and hit a small area..."
This was a very demanding requirement. If he was not afraid of being discovered, he could just use the "Moonlight Greatsword" and let the stone statue hold the great sword and stab it. But the Moonlight Greatsword could not be used, because that sword would directly reveal who he was. He could not let the demon think that the "God Caller" of the thirteenth ring was the helper that Ossenfort had found.
Among the remaining powerful attacking magics of Shade, "Felianna's Witch Light" is a range attack, and "Moonlight Slash" is a linear attack area regardless of the stage. "Daylight Ray" and "Thunder Gun" meet the requirements perfectly, and will not expose Shade's identity. After all, the appearance of magic is not very distinctive, but the problem is that the attack power of these two magics may not be enough.
"Offensive magic may not work, but control magic may work?"
He plans to use the Confinement Aura.
"Yes, as long as the other party can't move."
Mr. Fleming's soul began to become more and more transparent, and the two palms of the golem pressed down, making the shield smaller and smaller. Luvia also raised her left hand at this time, and the purple transparent book-shaped giant shield, together with Mr. Fleming, blocked the pressure of the golem's palm.
"Please hurry up. Ma'am, put your other hand on his shoulder."
"OK."
Luvia immediately stretched out her right hand and placed it on Shad's shoulder. The power of the "Field of Fertility" allowed Shad to feel the power of the earth in another form more deeply.
"Powerful soul, please prepare yourself."
Mr. Fleming took a deep breath, although it looked strange for the spirit to do this:
"Three, two, one! The power of the earth, the original power!"
His soul suddenly radiated light, and that light, which represented the purest earth, was like a shock wave, sweeping all around in the snowy night, striking the falling snow in the air and even forming a brief circular snow-free airspace.
The light did not hurt Shad and Luvia, who possessed the power of the earth, but it directly shattered the arm of the golem that imprisoned the stone statue under everyone's feet, and even pushed the golem back two steps in the blizzard of the night. The palm that slapped them no longer posed a threat, but the lake was shaking violently, causing more black mud to float to the surface.
The power of the curse became more and more serious, and the power of the earth's distortion even directly affected the spellcasting effects of all the surrounding ring sorcerers. At this moment, the people on the shore were all looking towards the lake. In the turbulent lake water, the temporarily repelled golem adjusted its posture and wanted to launch an attack again.
Mr. Fleming's soul became more and more transparent. He placed his hand on Shade's other shoulder:
"Powerful soul, there is actually a way to increase the power of the earth in a short period of time!"
"What?"
Xia De was startled, and then he understood:
"Wait, what are you going to do? There's no need to..."
Xia De turned around to stop him, but the soul behind him was glaring with anger. He was ready:
“The power of the earth, the inheritance of the soil! May the earth be with you and me!”
In an instant, Mr. Fleming's soul trembled, and his soul became turbid. On the face of the spirit, Shade was surprised to see the shadow of Mr. Granger.
"What? Could it be that the Guardian's true identity is..."
But at this moment, the spirit body was completely shattered, and the power of the earth at the core of the soul attached to Shade:
"Mr. Fleming has left?"
He couldn't believe this result, but thinking about his own guess, he immediately understood the other party's plan. Xia De stopped thinking about it and looked at Luvia, who was also shocked and saw something wrong, and nodded to the latter:
"Guardian Fleming left forever for this land. Luvia, we can't waste this opportunity, stand firm! Puppetry!"
Although the power of soul inheritance is one-time, at this moment, Shade still feels that he is completely connected to the stone statue under his feet, and even his vision becomes doubled. One is his human self, squinting at the huge golem in front of him in the blizzard, and the other is the stone statue's vision, looking at the golem of the same size as himself.
At this moment, he seemed to be the stone statue itself. As the power of the earth was controlled by Shade, even the broken hands of the stone statue grew out again from the shoulders.
"Shad, you only have one chance!"
Luvia's voice seemed to come from her ear, but it also seemed to come from her shoulder. The golem that was just repelled by Mr. Fleming's power was now almost in front of her.
Xia De took a deep breath, facing the blizzard, he raised his right hand, and the stone statue's right hand also raised. As his spirit drained away, a bright silver halo appeared on his right wrist, and a huge halo with flowing light also appeared on the right wrist of the giant statue.
At this moment, the starry sky was covered by clouds, and the moon seemed to appear above the lake. He was about to punch forward as usual, letting the confinement halo fly out and cover the golem's limbs and neck, but the human body's vision saw the huge halo spinning on the right wrist of the golem, emitting a glow like Mars. At this moment, the silver moon seemed to be reflected in Shad's eyes, and Luvia also found that his body seemed to be glowing faintly.
