Chapter 1166 Lyon vs Eternal Golem (Past II)

The roar seemed to emanate from Lyon himself, his eyes glowing with an intense, otherworldly light. It was as if the spirit of a powerful beast had merged with Lyon's formidable presence. The clash of Lyon's kick against the colossal blade sent shockwaves through the air, creating an ethereal moment frozen in time.

In the wake of the mysterious roar, the Eternal Golem staggered backward, its colossal form momentarily halted by the unexpected force. Lyon, however, remained suspended in mid-air, his silhouette framed by the eerie glow of his eyes. The battlefield held its breath, awaiting the next unpredictable turn in this surreal encounter between mortal and golem.

Among the onlookers, a chorus of cheers erupted as Lyon's display of strength turned the tides in their favor. The adventurers, who moments ago harbored doubts and fear, were now infused with newfound vigor and hope. The realization that Lyon, the Grand Adventurer, stood undefeated against the colossal might of the Eternal Golem sparked a collective surge of courage.

The onlookers erupted into a cacophony of cheers and gasps as Lyon, the Grand Adventurer, demonstrated his unparalleled strength. The adventurers, previously uncertain and hesitant, found newfound vigor and courage surging through their veins.

"He did it! Lyon actually did it!"

"Did you see that kick? It's like he's not even human!"

"Alright! We have a chance! Charge with Lyon!"

The words spread like wildfire among the adventurers, rallying them with a renewed sense of purpose. Lyon's prowess on the battlefield had become a beacon of hope, inspiring them to face the overwhelming odds before them.

Cecile, leading the charge, couldn't contain her excitement. "Lyon! That was amazing! Let's turn the tide, everyone!"

As the cheers and encouragement reverberated through the crowd of adventurers, Graham, usually reserved and serious, couldn't help but crack a rare smile. He turned to his comrades, his eyes reflecting a newfound determination.

"Did you see that kick?" Graham exclaimed. "That's our Master for you. He's not just a Grand Adventurer; he's on a whole different level!"

Lyon, standing with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face, reveled in the disbelief evident on the Eternal Golem's colossal expression. Despite Lyon's diminutive size compared to the towering golem, he radiated confidence and bravado.

"What's the matter, big guy? Surprised that I can handle myself down here?"

The adventurers below cheered at Lyon's audacity, their morale soaring higher with each taunt aimed at their imposing foe.

Eternal Golem, infuriated and perplexed, roared in frustration. "Impossible! A human shouldn't possess such strength!"

"Well, big guy, surprised? Didn't expect a human to give you a run for your stones, huh?" Lyon's taunts were laced with amusement as he continued to provoke the formidable adversary.

The Eternal Golem's swift counterattack caught Lyon off guard, the colossal axe connecting with Lyon's side and propelling him through the air. The force of the blow sent Lyon hurtling toward a nearby mountain, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. Trees were uprooted, and the soil was displaced as Lyon's body bounced and rolled before finally coming to a halt.

The onlookers, both adventurers and Golems alike, gasped at the unexpected turn of events. The air was tense, filled with a momentary silence that hung over Golem City.

"He took a hit!"

"That Golem means business!"

Cecile's expression shifted from amusement to concern as she watched Lyon's unexpected descent. "Lyon!" she called out, her worry evident in her voice.

Lyon emerged from the debris with a transformative aura, a pair of horns gracing his forehead, and his eyes ablaze with a golden radiance. His shirt, torn and battered from the impact, revealed a body now seemingly forged from bronze, impenetrable and resilient. A singular earring adorned his ear, adding an air of mystique to his appearance. With a nonchalant stretch of his neck, Lyon locked eyes with the Eternal Golem, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Well, that was invigorating," Lyon declared, his voice carrying an added layer of confidence. The adventurers and Golems witnessing this transformation were once again captivated by Lyon's extraordinary abilities.

"Aaargh!" The Eternal Golem unleashed a furious warcry, swinging his colossal axe in an upward motion, creating a devastating shockwave that erupted the ground toward Lyon. Lyon, ever agile, leaped into the air to evade the attack. However, the Eternal Golem displayed surprising speed and cunning. In mid-air, the massive golem lunged forward, capturing Lyon in his giant palm.

With a resounding slam, Lyon found himself forcefully introduced to the unforgiving ground. Before he could recover from the bounce, the Eternal Golem swiftly followed up, swinging his immense axe downward with unparalleled force. The impact sent Lyon sealed on the ground, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. The sheer might of the assault left an indelible mark on the battlefield, with soil and debris scattered in every direction.

The Eternal Golem's face twisted from a confident smirk to sheer disbelief as he encountered unexpected resistance from Lyon's seemingly unyielding body against the colossal weight of the descending axe. "What?!" The blade struggled to pierce Lyon's skin, meeting defiance in the form of Lyon's flexed abs and gripping hands, almost as if he was effortfully bench-pressing an immense weight. Lyon, grinning with cocky confidence, taunted, "I-Is that all you've got? I expected more from a big guy like you!"

The Golem, angered by Lyon's taunts, exerted even more force, attempting to overpower Lyon's resistance. The air crackled with energy as the two forces clashed, creating a spectacle that held the onlooking adventurers in awe and disbelief. Cecile, Graham, Liu, and Selena stared wide-eyed at the unfolding spectacle. Cecile, in particular, couldn't help but mutter, "This guy never fails to amaze me."

In the midst of the intense battle between Lyon and the Eternal Golem, a sudden and unexpected force made its presence known. It began with the sound of swift footsteps, a rhythm that cut through the chaos of clashing weapons and resonating roars. The leaves on the forest floor rustled as a figure moved with determination, closing the distance between the trees.

Then, in a display of agility and courage, Kesya emerged from the foliage, her silhouette framed by the dappled sunlight filtering through the dense canopy. She seemed to materialize out of the surrounding greenery, her eyes focused on the towering figure of the Eternal Golem. With a burst of speed, Kesya leaped into the fray, her movements both graceful and purposeful.

The sudden entrance of Kesya injected a new energy into the battlefield, catching both allies and adversaries off guard. The adventurers, including Lyon, Cecile, Graham, Liu, and Selena, couldn't help but be momentarily stunned by Kesya's bold move. Her arrival added an unexpected twist to the ongoing struggle, creating a brief pause in the relentless clash between Lyon and the Eternal Golem.

Lyon, caught off guard, exclaimed, "Ack?! Kesya?!"

Lyon's eyes widened in both surprise and concern as Kesya, seemingly out of nowhere, delivered a powerful punch to the jaw of the Eternal Golem. The impact shifted the Golem's massive jaw slightly, and for a moment, the mighty adversary seemed vulnerable.

Cecile, Graham, Liu, and Selena, who were witnessing the unexpected intervention, opened their eyes wide in a mixture of surprise and anticipation. Kesya, however, paid a heavy price for her audacity. Lyon winced as he witnessed the toll on Kesya's bones, her sacrifice evident in the audible strain. "Ow!" Kesya grimaced, her resilience contrasting with the apparent pain.

The Eternal Golem, irritated by this sudden disturbance, dismissed Kesya's efforts with a flick of his colossal hand. "Pesky mosquitos!" The flick sent Kesya hurtling through the air, mirroring Lyon's previous trajectory. The battlefield now bore witness to the dynamic and unpredictable turns of the confrontation between Lyon and the Eternal Golem, with the added element of Kesya's valiant but costly intervention.

"Kesya!" Lyon furrowed his brows and started pushing back.

Selena frowned then ascended into the sky with an effortless grace, her silhouette outlined against the backdrop of the swirling battlefield. The air crackled with anticipation as she unsheathed her sword, the blade catching the sunlight before it erupted into a radiant display of ethereal energy.

With a swift motion, Selena initiated the symphony of blades. Hundreds of shimmering swords materialized around her, responding to the silent command of a true swordmaster. They danced through the air, each movement leaving behind a luminous trail. The harmonious hum of the blades created an otherworldly melody that echoed across the battlefield.

The precision of Selena's control was mesmerizing. The swords moved in a seamless choreography, cutting through the air with deadly accuracy. Their paths intersected and diverged, forming intricate patterns that painted the sky with an ephemeral tapestry of light. The sheer number of blades in motion was a testament to Selena's unrivaled skill, a living testament to her commitment to the art of swordsmanship.

Liu, standing below, could only watch in awe. Every stroke, every parry, resonated with a profound mastery that transcended the limits of mere combat. Selena's aerial ballet of blades became a symbol of hope, a tangible manifestation of the unwavering spirit to overcome the looming threat of the Eternal Golem. The entire battlefield held its breath, caught in the enchanting display of Selena's sword symphony.
