Chapter 550
Chapter 550 Giant Metal Monster
One had to mention how the victors of a brutal battle were always guaranteed the most valuable of spoils!
After a month of work, the goblin excavation team had cleared away millions of tons of dirt and all sorts of other debris. They had overcome several difficulties and pierced through the hard layers of rock and stone. The Steel Capital, buried nearly a thousand meter underground, finally saw the day of light once more.
In all honesty, it shouldn’t have exactly been considered underground. After all, the Steel Capital had been built high atop the peak of a mountain. It had only been buried as the mountain itself collapsed.
After all the debris had been cleared away, the ruins of the uncovered Steel Capital revealed to everyone the ferocity and violence of the explosion on that day. Most of the metal buildings had been distorted beyond recognition. In fact, many of the metallic components had their original attributes altered by the corrosion of the energy storm. They had been fused and turned into substances that were more akin to magical alloys.
As the hundreds of construction machines operated at full power and endeavored to cut these metal parts into suitable sizes before lifting them out of the ‘pit,’ an unexpected event occurred.
A mysterious force suddenly guided a large pile of broken and distorted metal parts to transform into an eight-meter metal giant within full view of all the goblins, clicking and clanging as the metal parts collided with each other.
It had a rough and crude metal body, broken wires spouting sparks and electricity, a tilted metal head, and metal fists with large cracks in them.
“Of course he looks familiar!” A disdainful smile appeared on Greem’s face, “He’s an old friend of ours after all.”
“You mean to say that it…it’s that guy?” Bug Adept Billis asked hesitatingly.
“Hmph! I knew Third Grades wouldn’t die so easily. Even that thunder dragon managed to live. What’s so surprising about Giant Brain Gazlowe surviving the explosion?”
Having said that, Greem’s body exploded into a cluster of flames and reappeared on the broad chest of the metal monster.
His large hand blazed with a golden flame and reached inside the chest of the monster to extracted a strange brain from within it. This brain had a dozen fleshy tentacles beneath it and was the size of a human head.
Gazlowe had once been as big as a hill. Now, it wasn’t much bigger than a human’s brain. Greem’s Blazing Light from earlier had pierced through the upper left side of its brain, burning away nearly one-third of what was left in the first place.
Greem flicked at the tentacles dangling beneath the broken brain. They seemed utterly limp and void of any life. After all, no one would be able to live any longer if a third of their brain had been burned away!
“Master, is it still alive? Why can’t I feel the presence of any life force? Could it have been beaten to death by you already?” Bug Adept Billis also turned into a cluster of black mist and flew onto the metal monster. He reformed himself beside Greem.
“Dead? Well, isn’t that good.” The smile on Greem’s face became even wider, “Well, if that’s the case, then I guess I’ll just burn the rest as well!”
The fire on Greem’s hand immediately started blazing after he said that.
“Not dead… not dead. I’m not dead.”
Small Brain Gazlowe had wanted to play dead. However, he now had no choice but to dispel his pretense and regain his aura of life.
The miniaturized Gazlowe seemed to understand that its strength was insufficient to deal with this leader of the adepts. Thus, he quietly stayed in Greem’s hands, enduring the burning of the red flames.
“Tell me! How did you survive that massive explosion!” Greem stared at the little fellow in his hands and asked in a calm tone.
Even though his tone was calm and peaceful, Gazlowe felt a real threat of death in it.
“I… I… seem to possess the ability to regenerate from even a drop of blood!”
