[You have defeated the Guardian of the Barren Spring.]
[You have received the Barren Crystal.]
The defeated body of the Guardian of the Barren Spring suddenly turned into a bridge that connected to the next floating island. The Guardian of the Barren Spring did not even give any other drops or experience points when it got defeated.
The twin giants were shocked to see the real power of the demon in front of them. He did not even do much as his soulbounds basically defeated the titanic sand golem with their own powers. The dragon would use its intense heat to melt the sand into glass and use ice break apart the sand that became glass.
The huge wolf would then use numerous shadow spears that it manifests from around it to disintegrate the glass shards into nothingness. This continued for twenty minutes until the core of the Guardian of the Barren Spring could no longer control the sand.
When a heavy attack would befall them, the group would mysteriously not get damaged. The twin giants saw the slime glow whenever they are attacked by giant sand waves but the three of them are not damaged. If they were to give their opinion, then they would say that they were not even needed.
When the core of the Guardian of the Barren Spring could no longer control as much sand, the dragon soulbound froze the whole body of the sand golem. The giant wolf then destroyed the exposed core easily as if it was not durable at all.
"We are not even needed here." Tino whispered.
"I agree with you brother, but we must become pro-active in the next battle to not bring shame to our race." Tina stated.
"The bridge to the next floating island has shown itself. Let us go there now. It seems that defeating the golem will make the road to the next destination appear. Let me check if we can go take a shortcut towards the other islands." Adrian stated as he unfurled his wings and flew straight to the third floating island.
Adrian flew towards the other edge, but he suddenly felt the huge pressure of gravity when he exited the first floating island. He immediately used Blink to return to the sand bridge that was created upon defeating the Guardian of the Barren Spring. He even tried manipulating the gravity to make him lighter but even that cannot minimize the pressure.
"It should not have been a black hole because we are almost immune to the pull of one." Adrian thought as he looked at the dark abyss that is present at the edge of the floating islands.
"Are you fine, Champion Equinox?" Tina asked as she saw that Adrian suddenly lost balance mid-flight.
"I am fine, but it seems that we cannot take the shortcut when it comes to traversing this place. It seems that we need to traverse all four large islands in order to proceed." Adrian stated.
The group then went to the next floating island which is vastly different to the first. If the first floating island is called barren, then this floating island will be flooded. Water is very abundant in this floating island to the point that the water is knee high. The twin giants are having a difficult time walking as the soil beneath the water is also soft.
This floating island also has aquatic plants lying around but other than that there are no more things unique things. As usual, they ended up in the center of the flooded floating island and the water that was still started to rumble. The rumbling water then started to gather at the very center where a clear blue core arose from the water.
-------
Monster: Guardian of the Flooded Spring
Level: 200
Health: 100%
Mana: 100%
Description: A golem made of water that is said to be very conductive to electricity. It is thoroughly connected to the area it is located and cannot be easily defeated with normal means. Its body of pure water is said to be immune to the cold.
-------
The second guardian has finally shown itself and it is vastly different from the first guardian. The first guardian had a humanoid shape like any other golems, but the second guardian just looks like a giant tidal wave. The clear core that it has made it difficult to pinpoint its location as it hid cleverly in the water.
"Kanlaon!" Adrian stated.
Kanlaon understood the command and fired its breath attack towards the Guardian of the Flooded Spring. The breath attack collided with the water body of the golem and a steam explosion ensued. The steam explosion is so powerful that all of them were blown away as a result.
Steam covered the entire area that they are in, and a clear core could be seen floating in the middle of the area. Water once again returned to cloak the clear core, but Sirius is faster than the water. Sirius tried to damage the core, but his attack just passed through it.
"The core is immune to physical attacks." Adrian stated as the core is once again covered in water.
The Guardian of the Flooded Spring responded by collecting all the water in its surroundings and crashing it down Adrian's group. It would have been perfect if not for one skill that Adrian has.
"Quantum Dispersion!" Adrian stated as he also enhanced the skill to increase its power.
The water that is supposed to come crashing down towards them suddenly got blown away in a complete circle. The Guardian of the Flooded Spring tried once more as it has complete control of the water in its surroundings, but Kanlaon created a dome of ice to defend against the second attack.
When the water calmed, the ice dome only has a few cracks on it. Kanlaon then destroyed it and fired the shards around.. When the shards of ice clashed with the water, it did not even freeze which means they cannot freeze the Guardian of the Flooded Spring.
