Chapter 289: An Insightful Exercice

There were twelve rock golems in front of him. They were ten feet tall (3 meters) and wielded rudimentary stone swords. The blades weren't very sharp, but considering the weight of the weapon, plus the strength of the rock giants, it would be very easy for them to separate a limb with one good hit.

All the golems had received the same command... to kill Harry Potter.

They all began running at him, but instead of charging together with a frontal assault, they decided to make use of their numerical advantage. While some continued with a direct attack, others moved to his sides and back to overwhelm him with strikes from all directions.

'Fascinating... they are thinking on their own. I had only given them the objective but didn't specify the 'how,' so they are making decisions now.'

This had started as a simple training exercise, but now it was also a 'magical construct' experiment.

He had already been able to imprint some of his skills onto his creations, but these new golems appeared to have improved even further.

'Could it be another side effect of my fusion with the Deathly Hallows?' Most of his magical abilities had become enhanced...he just didn't have time to test this one before.

"Whoa!" A stone blade had just passed very close to his face. "They are faster too..."

Fortunately for him, his physical abilities had also improved greatly.

Thanks to this, he had little trouble avoiding the first barrage of attacks.

A powerful current of wind manifested in the area, with Harry as its epicenter.

Despite their massive weight, the golems were pushed away by the wind. Some of them were sent away from him while others ended up colliding with their brothers and being destroyed in the process.

By the end of it, only five golems remained in a functional state.

"Bombarda!" The first construct to stand up was blown to pieces.

The remaining four then began a last-ditch effort to reach Harry.

"Accio!" He pulled one of the golems towards him, and once it got close enough, he aimed it at another one. "Depulso!"

The golem was sent flying like a projectile, and when it collided with the other one, the two golems were reduced to small chunks of debris.

The last two were mere feet away already.

After using an explosive charm on one, Harry stored his wand and moved closer to the last one.

The golem made a downward slash aimed at Harry's head.

Instead of avoiding it, he took a step forward and stopped the attack with pure physical strength, something that should not be possible, considering that each golem weighed several tons.

"Urgg... damn..." Harry knew he was pushing his body to its limits right now, but he needed to learn how much he could do in a controlled environment like this, instead of a battlefield.

With him and the golem at an apparent standstill, Harry was considering what to do next.... but then, he felt a presence nearby.

A moment later, the golem's upper body was reduced to dust.
