Caelid's Strongest Fighter

This is Caelid's top fighter. Do you dare to stare at him for three seconds?

Just kidding, the Gargoyle Guardian don't have eyes in the physiological sense at all.

Gargoyle Guardian are tools mass-produced for use in warfare and can often be found on various maps.

Its appearance resembles a giant clad in stone armor, over ten meters tall, with a chest radiating intense heat that can unleash flames to scorch enemies when necessary. The halberd in its hand emits a faint blue glow, within which magical fluctuations emanate.

Most Gargoyle Guardian are damaged in the war, either broken and unable to move, or still able to move but with damage all over their bodies, and those damages are their weaknesses.

However, Caelid's top golem is different. Not only is it almost completely unharmed, but it also possesses magical attributes that other golems do not have, and can even use unique moves, in addition to its own powerful stats.

This Gargoyle Guardian is just as strong as Godrick; when Grik encounters him, it's a life-or-death situation.

"Superior."

At Gong Qiying's command, the Gargoyle Guardian immediately took heavy steps, crushing the unbeliever in front of them into a two-dimensional form with a single stomp, without feeling any resistance.

Its enormous size made it stand out on the battlefield. Not only was the side it was attacking drawn to the commotion, but even the unbelievers being confronted by other city lords were attracted by the commotion and surged toward this behemoth.

The cross emitted a wave that absorbed faith, but when it touched the Gargoyle Guardian, it was like a gentle breeze passing over a hill—in short, nothing happened.

"Thump! Boom!"

The Gargoyle Guardian was extremely slow. Faced with the swarm of unbelievers that rushed towards it like ants, it simply knelt down and slammed its halberd heavily into the ground.

A deafening roar shook the earth, and the blood of the unbelievers gushed into the sky like a fountain. The impact directly crushed the enemy to pieces, and the shockwave caused those around them to lose their footing and fall to the ground in a sorry state.

It swung its halberd around, and wherever it passed, the unbelievers were knocked to the ground or even crushed to death, looking just like a desktop cleaning master.

The scene looked quite relaxing; I could become a stress-relieving blogger and make videos.

"Even considering its size, this power is a bit too much." Yan Huo looked at the Gargoyle Guardian was wreaking havoc on the ground like a tantrum-throwing baby and couldn't help but compare its strength to the monsters in his dungeon.

To deal with an enemy of this caliber, my Flame Lord probably won't suffice. I'd have to summon Explosive Flame Giant, and even then, I'd have to compress its size to increase its body density; otherwise, it might get shattered by that halberd in an instant.

Strangely enough, what he was thinking about was how to deal with the Gargoyle Guardian.

"Ah, the monsters attracted by the Holy Light have all run away again."

The follower's tone was filled with shock, sadness, and resentment. He could even see the monsters that came to fight him as being attracted by the Holy Light. This kind of piety was unique among believers.

His eyes, hidden beneath his robes, were fixed on the Gargoyle Guardian, and he pondered:

Although these brainless golem-type monsters are very strong, they are also the easiest to control. If I use the Holy Light Spreader to deliver the gospel of the Holy Light God to this big guy, I estimate that it will only take a few minutes to turn him into a loyal servant of the Holy Light.

Wait, why is he also thinking about how to deal with the Gargoyle Guardian?

"Gurgle"

Iliness spoke in a voice like a female knight, and the shadow covering her stirred restlessly, also staring at the Gargoyle Guardian.

One of the Gargoyle under her command suddenly started running around like a headless fly, crashing headfirst into the Gargoyle Guardian.

The Gargoyle Guardian paused for a moment, then continued its swift Execute of the unbelievers, while the Gargoyle were reduced to dust.

"Gurgle, gurgle"

Upon seeing this scene, the shadow on her body trembled even more violently and emitted a sound of resentment.

Wait, something's not right. Why has the atmosphere here turned out like this?

Logically, shouldn't the others be happy that their comrade has brought out a powerful monster that can change the course of the battle? What's with these three's reaction?

Gong Qiying and Chi Ya exchanged a glance, and the latter shook his head helplessly.

The Gargoyle Guardian continued their rampage on the battlefield.

Its powerful physical abilities allow it to smash a faithless person to pieces with a single slap, and the flames erupting from its chest can burn a faithless person to ashes. It can also summon several magical spheres that float in the air to assist in killing enemies.

The magic sphere burst forth with a straight beam of light, like a bunch of Piccolo demon kings firing their Special Beam Cannon in unison, piercing through all the unbelievers in the entire straight line.

These magical rays killed more believers than the thunderous crashes that had been pounding the ground earlier.

The Gargoyle Guardian were quite ferocious.

Just then, it slapped the unbeliever in front of it, a slap that could turn the enemy into mincemeat.

But this time, it encountered resistance.

The faithless person actually managed to block the slap that was coming down on him with all his might?

The Gargoyle Guardian used a bit more force to completely suppress the unbeliever, and then delivered a final slap to kill him.

The atmosphere around them changed, and something changed about the unbelievers.

In layman's terms, it means that evolution has occurred.

Some individuals lose muscle mass, becoming faster but weaker, while others gain muscle mass, becoming stronger but losing speed. Both of these changes are designed to counter the Gargoyle Guardian.

Meanwhile, the faithless individuals that other city lords were dealing with also began to show corresponding physical changes, each change being a preparation for better combat.

"There's such a thing?" Yan Huo asked in surprise. No one knew that the faithless could evolve during battle.

But the city lords, being city lords after all, quickly came up with a solution:

"Change battlefields!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the troops controlled by the city lords began to move and exchange their opponents, a decision made swiftly and decisively.

However, even if the opponent changes, the unbeliever will still make physical changes very quickly again.

It seems that once the intensity of the battle reached a certain level, the cross also began to exert its power.

Unable to prevent the enemy's evolution, the city lords had no choice but to continue to invest more resources into the battlefield, so that they could at least keep up with the evolution of the faithless.

Everyone has incredibly powerful boss monsters, but they can't be used in this situation.

Everyone seemed very frustrated, so frustrated they were furious.

The Gargoyle Guardian, like pillars of strength, have stood firm amidst the tide of the disbelievers, faithfully fulfilling their duty as killing machines.

However, its shortcomings have gradually been exposed by the reckless suicide attacks of the faithless.

That is, low toughness.

As the unbeliever's increased power struck his joints again and again, the Gargoyle Guardian's heavy body finally gave way, making a cracking sound before collapsing heavily to the ground.

It was attacked to the point of temporarily freezing, and even its weak point in the chest was exposed.

The unbeliever suddenly grasped the method of fighting, relentlessly attacking the joints and chest of the Gargoyle Guardian, and cracks began to appear in the originally hard stone shell.

"The enemy actually has some intelligence."

Gong Qiying muttered to himself. He wasn't panicking, after all, falling to the ground didn't mean the Gargoyle Guardian had lost; it could get back up in a bit.

If all else fails, even if the Believer has mastered the golem's fighting style, he can just throw a few more into the battlefield.

Three dogs can kill Sunlight King, so multiple Gargoyle Guardian could definitely wreak havoc.

There was only one reason why he didn't deploy as many Gargoyle Guardian as possible—to avoid accidentally injuring his teammates.

The followers have thrown in far too many Holy Light Monsters. Even with just this one Gargoyle Guardian the area, there's a risk of friendly fire. If a few more come, they'll definitely hit his teammates.

Killing the monsters that follow you is not a big deal; the real problem is that the cross will cause an explosion of new troops.

However, the Gargoyle Guardian's sudden fall, which left him with little reaction, caused a change in the other city lords.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Godwyn, I'm coming to help you. We're comrades-in-arms, aren't we?"

When Yanhuo saw that the Gargoyle Guardian had also fallen, he immediately felt refreshed and readily threw out dozens of Fire Elemental Creatures to rush over and rescue the Gargoyle Guardian.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. That's just how the Holy Light is—it saves lives."

The follower touched his forehead, combined several of his skeletal angels into a stronger entity, and flew over to heal the Gargoyle Guardian.

"Hehehe," Iliness let out a dark, nerdy laugh, and went to rescue the Gargoyle Guardian.

Your reactions are really...

Gong Qiying was at a loss for words. It was rare for him to encounter a situation that left him speechless. These people changed their expressions faster than turning the pages of a book.

This is what they mean by being afraid of both your brother's hardships and your brother's driving a Land Rover.

No, their relationship shouldn't be close enough for them to be like brothers.

Gong Qiying realized that these city lords probably really disliked him.

At that moment, a strange change occurred. The unbelievers surrounding the cross suddenly began to kneel down devoutly, murmuring in a language that humans could not understand. The atmosphere of the scene suddenly changed to that of a chapel where religious believers gathered to pray.

"Oh no, the unbelievers have sensed the threat and have started to proclaim their faith on their own—"

Before Yan Huo could finish speaking, a series of explosions suddenly erupted on the battlefield, the result of the deaths of his Fire Elemental Creatures.

"Huh?"

Why were his monsters suddenly wiped out?

Clearly, the unbelievers have undergone some kind of enhanced evolution, to the point that they possess both immense power and the ability to Agility.

Moreover, because of their own beliefs, the Cross began to mass-produce troops to replenish their manpower!

The Gargoyle flying through the sky were torn apart, following closely in the footsteps of the Fire Elemental Creatures.

The follower sensed something was wrong and was about to send in more monsters to strengthen the Legion and fight the faithless one head-on, but before he could make a move, he was stopped by Red Fang.

"It's too late. They've already adapted to the Holy Light. Investing more will only bring negative benefits."

As he said, the Holy Light that had previously burned the unbelievers to the point of annihilation was now much less effective on them. Although it could still burn them, the speed was undoubtedly much slower.

So slow, the unbelievers could charge up under the Holy Light and kill the monster!

One after another, the Holy Light Monster died swiftly, each representing a vast faith, and a joyous mass production of new soldiers began on the side of the cross.

The unbelievers on the Gargoyle Guardian' side received an even stronger boost to their physical abilities. The Gargoyle Guardian, who had just gotten up, were knocked down again, and they seemed to be struggling.

Faced with this result, the city lords fell silent for a moment.

"It was my fault for providing inaccurate information. I didn't understand that the Believers also have the ability to adapt and evolve. The problem lies with me." Red Fang lowered his head.

Much of the information about the Sealed Object is missing. Red Fang's information comes from his own experience of fighting the Sealed Object first and then summarizing his findings.

In other words, the unbeliever did not demonstrate any evolutionary ability in his battle with him, leading to a lack of information.

Faced with his apology, Yan Huo and the others did not show any anger or negative emotions, and they all laughed it off and let the matter pass.

After all, the Sealed Object were all disasters that caused catastrophes in the era. If we just let them pass by so easily, where would the face of the ancients be?

Under normal circumstances, defeating Sealed Object requires repeated trial and error to find a way to eliminate it.

The three city lords' monsters have all been wiped out. Facing the horde of unbelievers who are swarming with troops, the Gargoyle Guardian are also being shattered into pieces and are on the verge of death. This time, it can be said that they have failed.

The battlefield was filled with swaggering, enhanced faithless warriors.

Everyone began to ponder the next battle plan.

At that moment, before anyone else could react, Gong Qiying suddenly summoned a demon.

"Hey, wait a minute! We need to fight together to—"

Yan Huo abruptly stopped speaking. He looked at the monsters summoned by Gong Qiying, and suddenly gasped, the flames on his body suddenly throbbing excitedly.

"Godwyn, what are your names for these monsters?"

On the battlefield, eight figures, each taller than Gargoyle Guardian, appeared.

They surrounded the unbeliever from all sides, their bodies engulfed in flames, creating an unimaginable sense of oppression.

"[Wicker Man], we didn't bring it out before for fear of accidentally hurting you. What happened?"

Flamefire's voice suddenly became friendly, his gaze fixed intently on Wicker Man, his expression as if he had seen the Red Fang of the Dragon King.

"Are you selling this Wicker Man?"

"Sorry, not for sale."

Gong Qiying had just finished speaking.

The eight Wicker Man jumped into the sky in unison.
