Netheril’s Glory

"Hoo, hoo!"

Punk was holding on to the edge of the table and breathing heavily. This time the consumption of the Elvish sacred text was just too alarming to him. From birth to now, Punk never felt this kind of thorough mana exhaustion. Although now his mana was rapidly recovering, still, his mind palace that had been in a full state most of the time was now completely empty.

But from the point of view of the result, his usage of his entire mana was not in vain. The completed flesh golem was now a little more intelligent. Although it was still incomparable with normal humans, the current golem should have a certain degree of self-adaptability.

Punk waved away the remaining magical light spots in the air and walked step by step toward the flesh golem.

In order to increase the vision of the flesh golem to the greatest extent, Punk, with a crazy move, placed seven eyes on the flesh golem, completely reaching the upper limit of information processing of the golem's transformed soul. So, now the golem could observe the surrounding environment at 360 degrees without any blind spots.

Staring at a blood-red vertical pupil located at the center of the golem's eyebrow, Punk could faintly feel that a kind of magical ability somehow appeared on these eyes, which could see through some low-level illusions.

Stretching out a slender finger, Punk gently stroked the exaggerated big central eye; after feeling the magic wave from it, it seemed to him as if this ability naturally came with it, but he actually did not perform any enchanting process on these eyes.

"Is this also one of the effects of the Elvish Text? But...I didn't express any desire to add magical abilities!"

Punk couldn't figure out the reason for this extra surprise from the ancient Elf's sacred text.

In the end, he could only shake his head and gave up on continue thinking about this issue that, at present, he couldn't get involved. However, he was still reminded himself to be cautious about these abnormal sacred texts in his heart. Punk could feel that these texts might be hiding some mysterious and strange things under the seemingly ordinary surface!

In any case, now Punk wanted to test the work that he had put a lot of effort into.

So he put aside the doubts about the ancient elves and put his focus on the flesh golem.

He ordered the flesh golem to walk out of the magic circle that had lost its effect, and then he started to carefully perceive the movement of each and every muscle of the golem and calculated the energy turnover of each rune until he finally determined that there was no problem with its basic mobility.

"He nodded."

"Now, let's test its combat effectiveness!"

Because the flesh golem made by him used flesh and blood of demons as the main raw material, in front of positive energy spells of the Lawful camp, it couldn't only depend on its body for battle.

But, it was not easy to engrave a spell that should be used by mages into an object. This method itself was not an easy task, and as with the level of the spells, the structure becomes more and more complex, it also became more difficult. So to turn those spells that was intended to be cast by humans, into a spell that could be cast automatically by objects, often involved the need of fine-tuning and changes in the structure of the spells.

Moreover, in the face of some materials with powerful magical properties, it was even necessary to adjust the entire spell structure to make it adapt to the material's conditions. So, a newly advanced official mage like Punk could not overcome these difficulties easily.

However, this time, his luck was really good. The mage named Walker recorded a set of four official-level spells that could be adjusted and implanted in the golem at the back of his notes. Although they were all very basic and standard general-purpose spells, they still very conveniently solved his urgent need.

Moreover, although the flesh of the Illusion demon was rare, it was not considered to have any powerful magical properties.

Punk chose two of these four spells to be engraved into the body of the flesh golem. In fact, according to Walker's theory, this kind of flesh golem, which was invented by a "great" mage such as himself, could be implanted with at least seven official-level spells, but Punk didn't have the knowledge and experience in such alchemy operation of engraving spells, so it was a little far fetched to think that he could engrave seven by only relying on the scribble tips left by Mage Walker.

Now the description and properties of the completed flesh golem's were displayed in the system's data analysis:

Alchemy Creation: Flesh Golem.

Appearance: Two-meter-high humanoid, bluish-red skin, seven eyes on the skull, scarlet claws on both hands.

Materials: Illusion Demon's Flesh, Imp's Claws, Transformed Human Soul, Nine Leaf Flower, Ghost Dust, Ying Mist Crystal, Magic Embers............

Level: Official-level Golem.

Potential: None.

Gender: None (the manufacturer didn't install any extra organs)

Energy: theoretically unlimited but could not exceed the output limit.

Ability: 1. Combat Instinct: Combat instincts that the host added to the virtual soul was transferred to the core transformed soul. So now the golem had the ability to fight autonomously. It could also use basic moves.

2. Filthy Demon Claw: The sharp claws full of Imp's resentments and hatred was added in the hands of the flesh golem; a low-level enemy's mind would be affected by the filthy pollution after being hit by the sharp claws.

3. Spirit Vision: Due to the unknown effect of the Elf's sacred text, the Flesh Golem's eyes could distinguish some low-level illusions.

4. Demonic body: The body of the flesh golem inherited the fire and thunder element resistance of the body of the Illusion demon. At the same time, thanks to the blessing of the ancient elves, it has obtained a faster recovery speed and more robust toughness.

5. Devouring: The Flesh Golem could quickly repair its body by directly eating organic matter.

6. Acidic spit: This is a spell engraved in the mouth and could be cast three times after it was fully charged; when cast, it could produce about 20 liters of non-conductive acid and spit it up to fifty meters away, the acid's power was slightly weaker than the official-level spell- Acid gush.

7. Steel binding: This spell that was solidified in the core of the flesh golem could be cast five times after it was fully charged. It could summon a group of tough steel to wrap and bind any object within the radius of 20 meters, this spell was slightly weaker than the official-level summoning spell- Steel Binding.

Evaluation: A alchemy golem that barely reached Official-level created by rookie Alchemist Punk Saian.

Ignoring the awkward evaluation at the end, Punk manipulated the flesh golem to make several flexible combat moves. The golem quickly complied with the order and completed several flexible movements. Its punching move was so fast that it created after images. The speedy movements and its friction with the air created a turbulent hot air current inside the white tower.

Punk was quite satisfied with his work. With this obedient "meat shield" golem, he could now make up for the huge shortcoming of close-quarter combat.

Punk's current combat tactic was "control the land and cut the stream," which was to test the enemy's trump cards through various low-cost spells, use various defensive and evasion spells to protect himself, and use various buffs to strengthen himself while using a large number of debuff spells to weaken the enemy's strength, and finally behead the enemy through a sudden and continuous burst of high powered attack spells.

While this was a safe tactic, but if the enemy wanted to retreat with some desperate move, and Punk didn't pre-calculate that, it was almost impossible for him to stop the enemy. But now, with the flesh golem, he could use other more effective methods.

Finally, he put a light gray robe on the hideous-looking naked flesh golem. The golem, whose body now mostly wrapped in the robe, looked like a taciturn strong man from the back.

Finally, Punk carefully inspected the soul and body of the golem one more time and finally nodded his head expressionlessly. He had a hunch that this golem would come in handy soon.

"Seems like something interesting would happen in the near future!"

Returning to the experimental platform, he opened McNeesey's spellbook again.

He just couldn't wait to learn some more new knowledge, as the road of pursuing knowledge was always very wonderful and enjoyable to him.
