Second World Chapter 1826 Gold Dragon

Chapter 1826 1826. Gold Dragon

After entering obelisk number 100, Jack came out in a plaza under a blue sky. Around them were empty landscapes for as far as the eye could see. Yet, he doubted he could go too far. There was for sure an invisible wall limiting the stage.
As he had expected, a single opponent appeared. It was a multicolor golem that was three times larger than the ones in the previous stage.
*
Primordial Golem (Eternal monster, Elemental), level: 90
HP: 5,500,000
Strength: 6,804
Physical Defense: 9,200
Magical Defense: 7,100
*
Based on the attributes he saw from using Inspect, this primordial golem was better than the primordial lycan. But he bet in terms of speed, dexterity, and reflex, the primordial lycan was better. With his current Inspect skill, he couldn't tell, though.
The primordial golem's physical defense was almost as high as his who wore a legendary divine armor set. The magical defense was not that high. Yet, based on the golems from previous stages, Jack bet this primordial golem possessed high resistance. From the multiple colors, Jack thought it was safe to assume this primordial golem excelled in all elements.
Jack started by casting the same spell combo, remote magic field and double clone. But as soon as his four copies appeared, the primordial golem split into seven. Each golem was embodying a different element. Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Darkness.
Jack sent his four copies to engage the seven golems who were rushing forward. The lead copy used Magic Weapon and performed One-word Slash. The slash collided with the thick arm of the fire golem. A Fiery explosion resulted from the clash. Jack's copy with the magic weapon was swept aside by the force of the explosion.
Jack's other copies experienced a similar result. However, unlike the previous stages, the golems didn't go after the copies who should have drawn their aggro. They ignored those copies and came after Jack's real body instead.
"Crap! This primordial golem is smarter," Jack uttered. He spread his gold dragon wings and flew up.
He didn't get far, though. A spell formation appeared from one of the golems, and Jack lost his flight.
"No-fly Zone!" Peniel identified the spell.
The golems tried hitting him once he landed, but Jack was fast. He used Eight Diagram Illusory Steps to dodge the hail of fists. The fists came accompanied by elemental waves, so Jack still received damage even when he avoided getting hit directly by them. His copies rushed over to try their best to attract the golems' attention, but the golems mostly ignored them.
"I must say, without legendary-grade armor, I would likely not win this stage if my bloodline hadn't fully upgraded," Jack remarked. He used the last skill of his bloodline.
A golden light pierced from the sky above. This blinding light slammed into the earth golem that was closest to Jack. The golem smashed into the ground as a result. When the light subsided, a huge gold dragon was on top of the earth golem. It was using its body to pin the earth golem to the ground.
Jack thought the gold dragon looked similar to Syndrillis but slightly smaller. Its golden scales glistened as they reflected the lights around them.
Without delay, Jack jumped onto the dragon's back and clung onto its neck. He had lost his flight ability, and the golems were gunning at him. Staying with the dragon should be the safest. The gold dragon didn't mind Jack's action considering it was his summon.
The dragon opened its jaws and unleashed a thick beam of golden light. The beam slammed the ice golem that was in the process of lunging forward. The beam was strong enough to send the golem tumbling back. Without ending the breath attack, the gold dragon spun. Its tail came up and slapped the golems that were close. The slapped golems then received the beam attack that knocked them back.
Jack didn't stay idle. He cast his spells from the safety of the dragon's back. The golems started using ranged attacks to get to Jack. Their ranged attacks came in the shape of elemental balls formed in their hand that they threw. The gold dragon used its large wings to shield Jack from these attacks.
When the golems lunged again, the gold dragon's strength was enough to contest with them. The dragon even proved to be slightly stronger. The dragon was surrounded, though, so it had difficulty defending against attacks from multiple angles.
Jack cast Superior Acceleration. With the buffed speed, the dragon broke out of the encirclement. After occupying a better position, it could better fight back.
The gold dragon could cast spells. Some of its spells were Light Pursuing Ray and Ghostly Light Spears, like the ones cast by Aglea inside Euphosine's dimension. Jack supported by casting Time Realm, giving the dragon an additional edge against multiple opponents.
Together, they ground the golems' HP.
The golems combined back into the primordial golem. It probably saw that more numbers didn't produce the desired effect. Back into a single multicolor golem, its strength was higher. Its punch produced a multicolor energy wave. When the gold dragon's claw collided with the golem's fist, the gold dragon was sent back multiple steps.
Jack had been waiting for the primordial golem to revert. He was about to cast a spell when the primordial golem's entire body shone. The gold dragon pressed on attacking. Jack noticed the damage inflicted on the golem was reduced to half. Aside from the damage reduction, Jack also sensed the irregularity from the golem's mana.
"Back!" Jack commanded. He didn't know what the primordial golem was trying to do, but he didn't want to take chances.
The gold dragon obeyed Jack's command. It retreated until there was a decent distance between them and the primordial golem. By then, the glow on the primordial golem had grown to a large multicolor sphere enveloping its body.
"Be careful! That's Convergence Beam!" Peniel informed.
"What's that?" Jack asked.
"It is similar to your War God's beam. Not as strong, but still powerful. It discharges an elemental beam that deals damage of all seven elements."
