Chapter 852: Denise's Masterpiece



Denise's mastery over Golem Creations was truly unprecedented. After all, he knew that Denise didn't study in a formal school. Instead, she was an assistant to a famous Dark Alchemist of the Dark Arts Faction.

She wasn't even fully learning the Golem Arts at that time. Instead, she just fully studied this craft within this Castle... During that time, she absorbed all the knowledge in the books in the library and learned from him and from the Immortals, who had some knowledge about the Golems.

Although Vale had also assisted Denise through some mysterious method, she shouldn't be able to reach this level in just six years!

At this time, he could safely say that her knowledge about making golems had already surpassed him. To be exact, not even the Elders of those in the Mystic Arts Faction and Alchemy Arts Faction could probably surpass her in this field.

Denise was simply a genius...

"What a beautiful creation..." He commented at the same of the golem at the center of the hall.

The metal golem's eyes glowed with light energy, casting a sense of holiness around it. Its limbs were sleek and powerful, crafted from a mysterious alloy that shimmered like quicksilver in the dim light.

It wasn't moving right now, but he could see the dense energy on each of them, and he could tell how strong they were.

'Wait, is that a rune?' Magnus was shocked once again as he looked at it carefully. After a few moments, he noticed more than 20 Runes on the metal golem!

First of all, Denise shouldn't be capable of placing rune. In normal cases, she would ask him to place runes in areas she wanted...

This time, however, he could recall that Denise had never called her to arrange those runes.

"This creation is amazing... How did you make this thing? Right, those Runes, how did you place them... I can sense at least 20 Runes on it. You must've used incredible materials to make them. Lastly, who made those Runes? I didn't hear any Rune Expert visiting our Castle in the past few months." Magnus muttered.

Although there were several Runecasters who had visited their Castle to get closer to the Shadow Immortal, they didn't stay in this Castle for long. They certainly offered their assistance if there were matters that required their expertise, but he couldn't recall Denise asking for such assistance.

"You're right. I made a total of 25 Runes on this Automaton... However, 10 of them are similar Runes. They were Protection Runes that Vale taught me. I also managed to place so many of them thanks to the materials I got from him and the trick he taught me."

"Trick?" Magnus felt curious. He had also learned Rune Arts, after all.

"Yes... It's called Rune Simplification... It took me years to reach an Advanced level of this Spell, so I only managed to complete this golem today." Denise explained with a smile. She was certainly proud of her creations.

Magnus could only admire Denise's dedication to this. Those two Spells she mentioned were something he already knew about. However, learning them wasn't easy, especially since she was already a Dark Arts Practitioner.

In short, she must've also received the Immortal Blood or even more. This Immortal Blood should've allowed her to improve her physique to the point that she could learn another branch or two of Arcane Arts.

Then, as he observed the golem, she immediately guessed the materials that were used. Dimensional Creature's bones... Demon Saint's horns... Enchanted Steel of the True Immortals and several metals that came from the mausoleum!

'Right... Those metals could suppress the energy of the Demon Saints and the True Immortals...' Magnus could only sigh as he realized that this Apex Guardian was probably a priceless treasure. It was something that was on par with or even greater than Sovereign Artifacts!

As Magnus marveled at Denise's creation, he knew that the Apex Guardian needed to be tested soon!

"This is great, Denise... How are you planning to use this golem?" He asked.

Denise smiled...

"What else? Of course, to destroy that Death God who's trying to claim Vale's body."
