chapter 24
24 – Festivals and Colosseum (5)
Since Cloudy Lajour ushered in a new era of alchemy and alchemy departments were established throughout the Continental Academy, there have been countless alchemists who have studied [Golem].
It was natural.
Once completed, the [Golem] is a secret weapon that will be extremely effective in battles against monsters.
Fighting power, which was a chronic problem for alchemists.
There was no reason for them not to study the magic tool that appeared as a powerful solution to solve this problem.
However, most of the alchemists who rushed in like that declared that they would give up.
It was because he realized that [Golem] is not a magic tool that can be used simply by research.
Golems were different from ordinary magic tools that were finished once they were made.
From production to operation, only demanding conditions were required.
A destructive magic tool that can exert great power if it can be mastered.
To use him perfectly, three conditions had to be preceded.
The first part of that condition.
It’s very obvious, but first of all, you need to know how to ‘manufacture’ a magic tool called a golem.
Actually, this is a big wall.
The difficulty of making golems boasts the worst of the worst.
A level that easily surpasses the high-difficulty magic tools of the Faculty of Alchemy, such as extones and intermediate potions.
There were many alchemists who could not produce even though the basic production method had already been announced, and even if they managed to produce it, there were many cases where the level of completion was low.
and second.
“You must know how to use summoning magic.”
“Summoning magic?”
“Yep. Does my brother know how to write?”
“at all. It was too complicated. I rarely use it except for special circumstances.”
Ariel nodded at Rhenia’s knife-like answer.
As she said, the [summon] magic was a very inefficient alchemy magic.
The time and cost required to learn magic once was excessive.
Even after hard learning, the cost of using it was too expensive.
Right now, even the mana stone Sacher used to summon the golem was [Advanced Mana Stone].
In comparison, as an alchemist, there was almost no use of the magic.
There is no magic tool to summon, so where can I learn to summon and use it?
Because of this, there were more alchemists who didn’t use it because they didn’t need it than those who couldn’t use it.
“The last one is the magic circuit response and the ability to control the golem. You can see that this is the most important thing.”
In fact, it was the most representative reason why alchemists gave up [Golem].
You must be able to sense the magic circuit of the ‘golem core’ placed in the center of the golem’s body and the magic circuit of your body.
Also, when the response is over, you should be able to control the golem with delicate magic control.
This was the key condition for the ‘Golem Alchemist’ who could control the golem.
In other words, the [Golem] was a magical tool that could only be used after being born with the talent for alchemy and the talent for mana control.
“But for our Sachere-kun, that seems to have worked out.”
Geoooooo-!!
The golem in the arena was screaming and rushing at the fencing department opponent.
Every time the golem moved with a thud, the entire arena shook.
On the surface, it seemed to be rushing at random, but it showed a sharp sense that did not fit the body and was engaged in battle.
perfect control.
The monstrous golem was strictly following Sacher’s orders.
And at that sight, Ariel Tyrpe felt goose bumps all over her body.
‘really… Wouldn’t that be a fun kid?’
Ariel can also handle golems to some extent.
Called a genius born of the times, she stood out in all fields related to alchemy.
However, it is the realm of ‘to some extent’.
Having alchemy enough to create golems and mana control enough to manipulate them at the same time was a special talent that never came easily.
It wasn’t that there were alchemists who only focused on golems for no reason.
However, that young alchemist in the stadium was handling the golem with perfect control.
Also, with other magic tools, he did not neglect to defend himself at all.
Everything an alchemist can show in battle.
Sacher Philip was showing all of that.
“I know… .”
Lenia agreed with her tone of voice.
It was Sacher’s praise that was very hard to come out of her mouth.
Actually, it wasn’t that big of a surprise that the golem came out of the Colosseum.
Even within the academy, since Golem alchemists were constantly being raised, there were a small number of undergraduates with special talents.
And every year at least one of them would come to the Colosseum to show off a golem.
Sacher Philippe, however, has a slightly different personality.
He is a person who already showed off his creative magic tools at a young age and showed his genius to the extreme in ‘production’.
Such a student suddenly showed off the golem in the Colosseum finals and showed the realm of ‘manipulation’…
Everyone is bound to be surprised.
‘I have to bring them to our conference!’
Ariel’s eyes lit up.
When I wrote a letter to my brother before, it was half a joke, but now it was sincere.
He was an aristocrat of the empire and had nothing.
All I could think of was to bring that genius to his home country’s academic conference, even with all the means he could.
* * *
Geoooooo-!!
The head of the 3rd year of the Faculty of Swordsmanship, Taylor couldn’t stop breaking out in a cold sweat.
There is only one reason.
It was because of that ignorant monster who was screaming in front of his eyes and choking his breath.
In the meantime, he had been hunting countless monsters, but he had never seen a monster this big.
No, that wasn’t even a monster or a monster in the first place.
It was a magic tool weapon created by an alchemist.
Geoooooo-!!
Kwaaang-!!
The golem’s fist shattered one side of the arena once more.
“crazy… .”
Taylor barely escaped from the scene of destruction and found a way to deal with it.
There is only one way to deal with the powerful Golem.
Stop the manipulation by attacking the alchemist in charge of production and manipulation first.
Of course, Taylor knew that too.
The fact that the golem maker is the golem’s only weakness is a story that even freshmen at the undergraduate level know.
But he couldn’t get close to the alchemist at all.
It was because the golem’s agility and reaction speed were almost as fast as a human’s.
‘sh*t. Isn’t this foul play?’
The commonly known characteristics of golems were their enormous size, solid defense, and stupid moves in return.
slow.
Clearly, this one word is the biggest weakness given to the golem.
But for some reason, the golem summoned by the other alchemist was fast.
Even if it was fast, it was too fast.
With that gigantic body, it stomped on the ground and ran, and every time it moved, it was about to resonate with the goal.
uh uh-!
“Gagging?!”
As I was careless, the Golem’s fist touched my shoulder.
While I was thinking for a moment, the guy was already close by.
Taylor’s body flew high in the sky.
And only then can Taylor realize.
Why is this golem so fast?
[Vita Taker]
-Type: Golem (Summon)
-Producer: Sacher Philippe
– A golem boasting a solid marble body and a huge body. Compared to normal golems, it has very fast reaction speed and agility. Movements can vary greatly depending on the maker’s controllability. You can summon a golem remotely by using [Summon] with [Higher Mana Stone] as a medium.
Golems, which are called combat weapons, are also magic tools anyway.
This magic tool was appraised at the same time as it was made, so Taylor who came into contact with the golem was able to read the information.
Compared to normal golems, it has very fast reaction speed and agility.
It was a sentence that explained the golem’s abnormal speed.
Geoooooo-!!
The golem’s scream rang out once more.
‘sh*t… .’
Taylor, pinned to the ground, quickly tried to get himself up.
However, [Vita Taker] and the monstrous alchemist did not allow even that short time.
After the first attack aiming for an opening, he immediately started a chain action and took over Taylor’s back.
speedy conclusion.
Like the speedy movement of the golem, the alchemist’s linked attack to end the game was also swift.
Taylor was startled by the feeling of stuffiness that suddenly wrapped around her body.
“whenever… ”
Without realizing it, his limbs were tied to something like a vine.
It was [Vine Stone], a stone magic tool that binds the target it encounters with vines.
The alchemist, who seemed preoccupied with controlling the golem, was preparing a weapon that would secure victory even at that moment.
finished.
It was close to impossible for Taylor to continue the game any longer.
Geoooooo-!!
Once again, Taylor’s cold sweat broke out.
If he moved even slightly, he would be trampled to death by the golem’s feet.
And the referee who watched the whole scene closely.
The swordsmanship professor shouted in a loud voice.
“Taylor of the Faculty of Swordsmanship, unable to fight! Faculty of Alchemy Sacher Philip, win!”
With that call, the whole stadium was filled with heat.
-Waaa
-Golem! Golem! Golem!
– Sacher! Sacher! Sacher!
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
Everyone was so busy talking about themselves that I couldn’t hear exactly what they were saying.
But in Taylor’s ears, through the gap, the voices of the crowd swearing at her could be clearly heard.
-You asshole!
-Are you still the head of the swordsmanship department!
-Get out and die!!

Judging by the furious reaction, people who probably lost a lot of money in matchmaking.
Taylor let out a laugh.
As the resentment reached its peak, the mentality was not shaken much even by the severe swear words.
He just looked at the ‘Magic Tool’ he played with confidence and muttered softly.
“Something like that… Golem?”
A grotesque golem with both speed and toughness.
A combat weapon that was already powerful just by existing, but appeared after eliminating all its weaknesses.
He finished all his work and was slowly being summoned.
