GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1835: The Last Trial.



The golem continued to rush towards him. It did so with its hammer raised up to smash him. It was frightening to see because its speed was faster than Legion-3's.

Legion-3 has 6,400 divinity in speed, but this golem has Legion-3's total divinity in speed alone. Legion-4 had to use Divine Speed to dodge the attack and turn Myraid Armament into a whip.

He used the whip to snare one of its legs. Then he ran in circles around it. This tripped the golem and made it fall. Then Legion-4 went to work on it with Golden Light.

Golden light pierced into the armor and bore a hole in it. Then it struck the cyclops below the golden armor.

-You have hit Guardian Hammer.

-Attack Successful.

-You have dealt 1,190,000 damage.

With his speed at 270,000, he could attack 13 times in a second. Combined with the fact that he struck the same point as the first attacks, he didn't have to overcome the defense of the armor and managed to deal 1,290,000 damage to it.

He was going to deal 16,670,000 damage in that one second that the cyclop was incapacitated. But then the cyclops activated its Repair Divine ability.

The runes on its skin glowed, and so did the cavern they were in. Pieces of the cavern flew from the walls and fell on the golem. These pieces were absorbed by the golem to heal its injury.

It did this while simultaneously swinging its hammer around it to catch Legion-4. Legion-4 was not willing to let the golem go, so he jumped up to avoid the horizontal sweep of the hammer.

He was in the air, so he couldn't dodge when the arm of the Cyclops slapped at him. The best he could do was use Divine Endurance. Then he was slapped across the room. He struck the wall of the cavern and fell to the ground. He was unharmed, but the golem had become free. Legion-4 recalled his whip so it flew to his hands. The golem also made its preparations. It shifted to its third phase. Its body shifted to make it slimmer and sleeker.

It was not just a physical change. Its Endurance fell to 10,000 while its speed increased to 50,000, so its speed had become its highest stat. It had changed itself for speed.

The last change was with its weapon. The golden hammer had become a golden bow. It was clear to Legion-4 what the new tactic of the golem would be.

He complained to his angel, "This can't be normal. A normal true god should not be able to defeat this kind of trial."

The angel said with certainty, "I assure you that this trial is completely normal. Its mechanisms are normal. It is just that its difficulty is a tad higher than what a true god should be able to handle. But that's because the domain didn't belong to a domain god when it was taken."

He grumbled, "This better be worth it."

Then he rushed towards the golem again. It used its newfound speed to speed up while using its bow to strike him from a distance. Unfortunately, even though it had gained a 400% increase to its speed, it couldn't help it get away from Legion-4.

His speed of 270,000 ensured that he was up to 3 times faster than it. He was able to dodge the golden arrows that flew at him while closing the distance. Then he clipped its legs again and beat it up with golden light.

This time the golem wasn't able to repair itself. Its divine ability had a cool down, so it didn't get to come back from the brink of death again. Plus, its endurance had fallen to 10,000, so it was able to take more damage and die quicker.

The body of the golden cyclop melted into the cavern after he killed it. Then a door opened on the opposite side of the cavern.

Legion-4 saw it and asked, "Is that the third trial? What does it entail?"

The angel nodded and said, "It is the trial of skill. It is the last trial."

"I see. Let me guess. I am the only one that can enter it."

His angel replied in exasperation, "Don't say it as if a single person taking a test is odd. It is normal that only you will be allowed to enter it. But there's another catch. You can only enter the door with 1 point of divine energy. This is to make the trial more difficult."

Legion-4 laughed when he heard this condition. He said, "This is going to be easy."

The angel chuckled too. "I thought you might like it. You will even like this; you will gain some rewards depending on how well you perform in the third trial. So you will gain something no matter how you perform. But if you complete the trial, then you will gain the domain and what else the trial has to offer."

Legion-4 and the other clones liked that information very much. But Legion-4 didn't go through the door yet. He wanted the other clones to use the information he has acquired to pass the second trial. He also put Golden Light into their inventory so that the other clones could use it.

This way, every clone was able to pass the second trial easily. If anything were to happen to him, they would be able to replace him immediately.

Then he moved on to the third trial to scout the way for them. He tried to open the door out of the circular cave, but it didn't open. A message flashed in front of his face.

-You Must Have Only One Divine Energy To Enter.

-Only Then Will You Be Able To Show Your True Skills.

A/N: If you remember, during the attempt to break into that divine pocket space by one of the clones of Legion, there were also three obstacles.
