As though hearing my words, the strange, ugly and somewhat humanoid stone started to move just as I turned around.

Two red light spots lit up.

The two light spots were like two pupils, staring at my back.

After seeing that I hadn't turned around to look for a long time, he (it) started to move.

* crack... crack... * 

First, he shook his 'head', then his 'body', and finally, he freed his hands and feet from the stone.

He stretched his body and looked at me and Regulus' backs. His eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

Finally, he pulled out a bar-shaped fluorescent stone that looked like a sword and held it tightly in his hand.

When he saw that I was still in front of him, tirelessly picking up the magic crystal stones and fluorite stones, the red light in his eyes flickered a few times.

He raised the stone sword in his hand and slowly approached me.

"Dong Dong Dong... dong..."

One step, two steps. He was getting closer and closer to my back.

Finally, when he was so close that he could attack me with just a raise of his hand, he began to hold the sword in both hands and aim it at the back of me and Regulus.

"Hu --"

He swung his hands violently. The sword cut through the air, making a dull sound.

From this sound, it seemed that he (it) wanted to cut me and Regulus in half at once.

I couldn't help but think of a noun in my heart: Cleave! ! !

When the ancient Japanese samurai fought with people, they liked to cut their enemies apart to show off their bravery and the sharpness of the blade in their hands.

Although this guy was holding a stone sword that wasn't sharp, I had no doubt that this sword could cut my body.

Seeing that the sword was about to cut me, the red light in the eyes of the 'stone man' couldn't help but flash.

It was as if he could already see the two guys in front of him lying on the ground.

Ten centimeters...

Five centimeters...

Three centimeters...

The stone sword was getting closer and closer to me and Regulus.

Just when the sword was less than three centimeters away from Regulus, I, who was standing beside him, moved.

I suddenly grabbed Regulus' arm and rolled forward.

I dodged the attack that was right in front of me.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

The instant I fell to the ground, I even had Regulus cast a fireball spell.

The fireball instantly condensed and flew out. It immediately hit the person who had ambushed me from behind.

Regulus' fireball spell was extremely powerful. It knocked off half of the stone golem's body.

Seeing the stone golem in such a sorry state, I felt a wave of joy in my heart. I told Regulus to quickly follow up and attack. I would use a few more fireballs to completely finish off this despicable fellow in front of me.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"..."

The fireballs around me continuously flew towards the stone man. The stone man, whose body was already no longer complete, was smashed into pieces, with 'parts' flying everywhere.

Looking at the stone man in front of me, who looked like he was about to die, I felt extremely happy.

"Someone like you wants to sneak attack? I can hear the sound of the stones rubbing against each other from dozens of meters away.?"

It turned out that the reason why I was able to dodge the sneak attack so quickly, as if I had eyes behind me, was because I had already heard the movements behind me.

To be more precise, I had noticed the stone man the moment he started moving.

Every time it moved, it would make a cracking sound. Probably only deaf people couldn't hear it.

When I first heard it, I wanted to turn around and see what it was.

However, when I walked to the front and saw a tall stone man tiptoeing towards me from the fluorite stone, I didn't turn around.

'This guy wants to sneak attack me...'

At that moment, I instantly knew what he was thinking.

Looking at a four-meter-tall, strong-looking guy sneakily following me like a mouse, I was delighted.

At the same time, I also thought to myself.

Since you want to sneak attack me, then I'll play along. The moment you let your guard down in order to sneak attack me, I'll sneak attack you instead...

The result was obvious. I succeeded.

This person who wanted to sneak attack me was already blasted to the ground by Regulus' fireball spell, leaving only his torso and head.

"Hahaha... eh? F * ck, F * ck..."

Initially, when I saw that the stone man looked like it was about to disintegrate, I started to laugh out loud. However, the scene that happened later shocked me.

I saw that the body of the stone man, which was originally only left with half of its body and head, was not completely destroyed. Instead, it started to slowly reassemble.

The stones that dropped to the ground actually started to reassemble.

First, there was only half of its body left. Then, there were its hands and feet...

Finally, the entire body of the stone man was healed.

It looked exactly the same as the complete form I had seen before.

When I saw this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

"How am I supposed to fight this? It can actually recover..."

The stone man that had recovered looked at his own body before looking at the enemy (me) in front of him.

"Roar --"

He let out an angry roar.

When he recalled what he had heard before, how could he not know that he had been played.

He raised the sword in his hand and wanted to continue attacking.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

This time, after he knew that he had been discovered, he (it) didn't act as sneakily as before. Instead, he took heavy steps and walked towards me in large strides.

When I saw the menacing stone man, I didn't dare to let down my guard.

I hurriedly had Regulus continue attacking.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

The stone man seemed to know that his body could recover, so he charged towards me without any scruples.

One hit, one withstood.

The stone man's body continued to drop stones.

Just like that, the stone man's body recovered a few times.

The stone man's recovery speed also became slower and slower. It seemed that in a few more times, the stone man's body wouldn't be able to recover. 

Seeing this scene, I didn't have the slightest bit of a smile on my face.

Because...

The energy within Regulus' body was slowly running out.

The power of the fireball spell that he was currently casting was slowly decreasing.

Now, I no longer had any 'batteries' to replenish my energy.

The number of bodies (stones) that had been blasted off the stone golem's body also decreased, becoming smaller and smaller.

Looking at the stones that had just been blasted off, they were only the size of an infant's fist.

I knew that danger had arrived once again.
