The ones attacking from a range only saw the golem fist crashing down on Vincent and striking the ground, resulting in a loud booming sound.

The ground shook and trembled as its humongous fist landed on it. Cracks spread to their feet, the earth splitting open, and they jumped to the side to avoid falling in it.

After saving themselves, the expression on most of their faces was priceless. It seemed like Leilani and the others close to Vincent almost has their heart leaping out of their mouth, worried that he got crushed by the attack.

However, their worries vanished from their heart as they only saw a rough dirt crater marred with grass and plants when the golem lifted its fist. There was no sign of blood, meaning Vincent had somehow escaped at the very last second.

He dodged the great?!

That's great!

At least that's what the humans and demi-humans thought.

"That's not good!" The Mighty Magic Golem, who had sentience and was actually sentient, thought in its mind, bewildered at the sudden disappearance of the challenger it must crush.

Where had Vincent gone?

The others also didn't know where he had suddenly disappeared to. One moment he was in their sight and now he was nowhere to be found.

Although bewildered at the mysteriousness of the current situation, Leilani and Varth kept on attacking the magic golem. They couldn't help it. Letting it scot-free meant their death, after all.

The golem was awfully powerful to their dismay. There was no use denying it. Their attacks weren't even touching it. Their attacks crashed on its emerald shield, but the defense of its magical shield was too strong. The attacks barely made a dent on it.

"Attack its shield in the same part as me!" Varth said out loud, telling Leilani to concentrate on the dented area of its magical shield.

"Alright," she said as ice spears rotated around her, visibly chilling the surrounding. Then, they shoot towards the shield, crashing on the dented area.

After attacking dozens of times, they barely managed to make a hole in its shield.

"Fire in the hole," Varth commanded, and at the same time, pulled his demon trigger. The bullets passed into the shield through the hole and shoot towards the golem.

The golem scratched its head, still confused at the sudden disappearance of Vincent. The most confusing part of the situation was that it couldn't sense him. It had special sensory features and could sense the vitality of any living being within a hundred-kilometer radius. However, it couldn't find Vincent. It was almost as if he had died, resulting in his vitality vanishing. Yet, it clearly didn't saw Vincent's body in the crater, meaning he escaped its attack.

The purple fairy Melody, who was watching this trial from her room and eating popcorn, was equally confused at the bizarreness of this situation.

How can every trace of a person disappear from the Mysterious Violet Forest in the blink of an eye? She didn't know and honestly, she was shocked to her very core.

The situation was simply inconceivable.

It wasn't just for her, but also the magic golem.

It shook its head, however, kicking the confusion out of its mind, and turned off its sensory magic technique to reserve its mana after bullets crashed on its wooden body, bursting apart half its arm.

Gah!

It roared at the top of its lungs as it turned to look at the remaining challenges, showing them the murderous intent glinting in its emerald eyes.

Then it charged towards them, causing booming sounds and making the land tremble.

"Split up and use the trees as your cover!"

A voice sounded in their ears, telling them to start moving their butts. The other ran towards safety, running away from the giant golem. Leilani and Varth, the only ones who could attack it from afar, hurled numerous attacks at it. However, as they were running away from it and their backs were turned towards it, only a few of their attacks landed on it.

The golem clearly enraged didn't notice a person suddenly appearing behind it. The said person stomped his right foot on the ground and jumped towards it back in silence. No words were said out loud as he landed on its body, and not even the sound of a person's feet stomping on the ground and landing on a wooden surface came out.

Everything happened too silently, too suddenly, and too stealthily.

"Blood Gear: Asura's Six Devilish Arms."

An instant after Vincent activated his second blood gear, blood burst out of his back and took the shape of large crimson tentacles with sharp triangular ends. He flexed his body, immediately yanking the tentacles towards its back.

The magic golem didn't even notice his existence, so how could it dodge his attack?

Swish, Swish!

The tentacle stabbed through its wooden surface, penetrating deep into its body, searching for its core.

Gah!

The golem felt undeniable pain flowing into its consciousness, overriding all other emotions and feelings it possess. However, an instant later, it tasted the emotion of fear and a sense of dread.

It could feel its impending doom as the tentacles inched closer to its magic core.

It immediately fought for its life, going absolutely berserk.

After all, even rabbits fight their predators once they are cornered and death is upon them.

It activated its magical sensing magic technique and identified a person on its back. It smashed its fist on its back, hoping to hit the person on its back.

However, how could Vincent allow him to fall prey to its back?

He moved to the left and then hopped to the right, easily evading all of its punches. At the same time, his tentacles drilled further into its body.

The golem, who was fearing for its life, used every bit of its brain cells to come with a grand plan to save its lives. It used its magic technique to transform parts of the wooden flesh on its back into wooden tentacles. These wooden tentacles shoot towards Vincent's blood tentacle, viciously clutching them in a tight hold and yanking them out of its body.

Taken by surprise, he too was yanked away from its back.

However, he immediately spun around and shoot out a dozen more tentacles towards its back.

‹ Blood Count: 20 units ›

Vincent rejoiced as he saw the tentacle stabbing into its back. But the smile that was creeping its way to his face left in the blink of an eye.

After all, the moment the tentacle stabbed into its back, the magic golem grabbed them and yanked him towards itself.

At the same time, it shot a power-packing punch at him.

Whoosh

Vincent's eyes opened wide as he got pushed towards its gigantic fist.

He would die without a doubt, that's what the golem and the fairy thought.

Vincent scoffed at death itself, vanishing from the surface of the planet which housed the Mysterious Violet Forest.

Bam

The Golems punch hit empty air and created shock waves, resulting in waves of wind bursting outwards, smashing trees in two halves, and uprooting a lot of them.

Not just the magic golem, but even the expression on the face of the beautiful fairy residing in a small room of the castle immediately changed. The smugness on their faces disappeared. Eyes threatening to pop out of their sockets with their jaws dropping to the ground replaced their overconfident expression.

How did he suddenly disappeared from this place once again? How the hell is this possible? Who the hell is he? Where the hell did he disappear to?

Simply inconceivable!

"Could it be that he has some kind of mysterious teleportation powers? No! That can't be! There is no way he can escape my senses in this place. I am the guardian of my master's tomb. And I can everything going here. So there's no way he can escape my senses. What a mysterious guy! If I was a thousand years younger, I would have kidnapped him and forced him to give me a child! Ha, ha, ha, what am I even thinking about." The Fairy blushed hard and harder. She couldn't help it. She had always taken a liking to mysterious and pale guys. Not the ghostly and sickly pale guys, but ones with shiny pale skin like Vincent.

‹ Blood Count: 50/50

Vincent, on the other hand, hurriedly chugged a few mouthfuls of purified monster's blood, restoring his blood count to fifty units. Then, he performed a few hand signs, activating the mana bullet magic technique before popping out of the subspace.

The fairy and the giant golem got shocked out of their wits when they saw Vincent suddenly appearing in the same place from where he mysteriously disappeared.

BAM

Vincent immediately blasted a mana bullet towards the center of its center, taking the magic golem by surprise. It couldn't even put up a single layer of defense before the bullet crashed on its chest and blasted it open. A big hole was made in the center of its chest.

That's just how powerful a bullet made out of mana was in comparison to a bullet made out of magic power.

The magic golem, however, still remained standing even after its chest got blasted into smithereens.

"Damn! Guess I was wrong. Its magic core isn't located in its chest but somewhere else. Just where could it be? And where are the others? Did they run away?" Vincent gritted his teeth, taking a jump backward as he evaded the wooden spikes coming towards him.

Just at that very moment, a voice sounded in his ears.
