“Ivana?!”
“The fact that the golem appeared out of nowhere was shocking enough, but Ivana too?”
Everyone in the House of Slumdon stood frozen in disbelief, utterly shocked by what they were seeing. Some recognized the golem, while others didn’t, but the key fact was undeniable –this was the same golem Broken had obtained during an expedition with Elincia and the
others.
The problem was, there was no way Broken could have summoned it from such a distance, because he simply didn’t have the required class for it!
“Summoning a golem like that requires the skills of a Golemancer,” Jovina remarked, still in shock.
“But since when does Broken have a Golemancer class?” Kingsley chimed in, equally confused.
Optimus added, “Maylock, explain this. I know you were heavily involved in this plan, but how did the golem suddenly appear?”
Maylock sighed, knowing he couldn’t delay the answer any longer. “You all should be thanking Broken for allowing us to witness this incredible moment.”
“Well, get to the explanation, Maylock!” someone else demanded impatiently.
Maylock straightened up, prepared to deliver the truth. “Alright, here’s how it all happened…”
He sighed again, keeping his eyes on the screen. “Well, somehow, Broken got his hands on a ticket that lets him unlock any production skill at Epic-grade.”
“Damn, he can just unlock an Epic-grade production class that easily? That’s insane!” The room buzzed with amazement.
“An Epic-grade Golemancer with a long-distance summoning skill that works across worlds?” Jovina commented. “This is too overpowered for a summoning skill. I think this class is something special.”
“And what about Ivana? How did she get summoned there as well?” someone else asked, still in disbelief.
Goldrich chuckled, “Khi khi khi… the golem’s skills are impressive. It can let someone enter its body and control it from inside. The plan worked perfectly-Ivana entered the golem before Broken summoned it from afar. That’s how she joined the battle.”
The room fell silent for a moment as they all processed the brilliance behind the strategy.
“Damn! If I wasn’t seeing this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it. This is an insane combination of skills!” someone exclaimed in awe.
“But what can Ivana do there? I mean… Ivana’s a shielder, sure she’s good, but isn’t it risky to have her there? If the three of them lose, won’t that leave her alone?” Melliandra said.
“This is a massive gamble. They can’t afford to lose now,” Booba added. “I still want to taste Ivana’s cooking after all this.”
RememberMe, unable to contain his excitement, shouted, “Master Broken, I knew you were destined for greatness! You’ve got this!”
The tension in the room heightened as everyone refocused on the screen. This was it-the battle where failure wasn’t an option. Ivana’s life was on the line, and unlike the players, if something went wrong, she wouldn’t be able to come back. Her fate was truly at stake.
“What surprises me most,” Jovina remarked, “is Ivana’s trust in Broken. She willingly threw herself into this hell just to join him.”
“That’s true love, huh?” Goldrich chuckled darkly. “Khi khi khi…”
As soon as Marlene’s broadcast cut off, Broken knew this was a high-stakes move-one of the key strategies they had carefully planned. Not every Golemancer class had the ability to summon from afar, and some had severe limitations.
[Epic Production Class Ticket has been used. Please select any available class.]
Without wasting a second, Broken chose the Golem Creator class. There was no better option for their current situation.
[New Epic-grade class unlocked: Golemancer]
[You have unlocked new skills…]
Broken quickly scanned through the list of skills, only to realize that the summoning skill was limited-it could only be used from the Golem Inventory, which meant he couldn’t summon the golem because it was in Slumdon Town. This fact threw a wrench in his plans, making him rethink his next move.
For a moment, he weighed his options. Summoning Blackthorn from Slumdon would have been ideal, but it seemed impossible. However, just as frustration began to set in, a new notification appeared-exactly what he had been hoping for.
It was the breakthrough he needed, a lifeline in this dire situation.
[Self Transcendence Blessing triggered…]
[Activating the Blessing…]
[The Blessing is reacting with the new class acquired by the user.]
[Analyzing the upgrade…]
[The Epic-grade class Golemancer has been upgraded.]
[New Unique-grade class unlocked: Elemental Forger]
[…]
[…]
Damn, the class really got upgraded!
Broken quickly skimmed through the descriptions of the new skills, his heart racing. And there it was—a summoning skill, exactly what he needed. This new class, Elemental Forger, gave him the power he was searching for, something far beyond what the original Golemancer class had offered.
With this new ability at his fingertips, the tide of the battle was about to shift in his favor.
[Elemental Forger has detected a golem connected to the user.]
[Registering the existing golem.]
[Name: Blackthorn – Shadowbark Titan]
[Grade: Legendary]
[Tier: 5]
[Level: 225]
[Blackthorn – Shadowbark Titan has been upgraded. The golem levels up by 17 levels.]
As Broken fought intensely in the high-stakes battle against Gremory, the final updates to his golem were completed.
“Please let it work!” he muttered under his breath, gripping his spear tighter as he blocked another of Gremory’s strikes.
[Summon Elemental Golem (Conditional Active Skill) Lv. 1]
Just as Gremory was about to land a fatal blow on Broken, a magic circle appeared on the floor beneath them. From it, Blackthorn-Broken’s massive golem with a platinum-black body and a gorilla-like head-emerged, wielding an enormous greatsword.
The golem let out a thunderous roar, and in an instant, an explosion of energy shields erupted from it, enveloping Broken, Marlene, and Charmelyn in a protective barrier. It was Ivana’s
shield skill!
Gremory was knocked back by the sudden burst of power, stumbling before quickly regaining her footing. But now, she faced not only the three challengers but a newly upgraded golem at level 242 and an NPC warrior. The battlefield had shifted dramatically.
Broken stood tall, with Ivana to his left, Marlene beside her, and Charmelyn on his right, all bracing for the final confrontation with their greatest opponent yet.
“Well, I hope you didn’t make a mistake bringing this NPC here, Broken,” Marlene said.
“I know exactly who I can trust to finish this,” Broken replied confidently.
Ivana nodded. “I’ll cover everyone with my shield,” she said. “Go all out. I won’t let anyone
harm you.”
With their newly reinforced team, they prepared for the climactic battle against Gremory, the
stakes higher than ever.
The scene unfolding on the battlefield immediately drew enthusiastic reactions from those watching at the House of Slumdon and in the control room of the Golden Age Company.
“Damn, Ivana! Let’s go!”
“I knew this would be an epic battle!”
“Yes, these exclusive seats are worth it. We’re watching history in real-time!”
“This is why I love working on this team! Oh man, this is going to be an epic showdown!”
Jovina, unable to contain her excitement, shouted at the screen. “Ivana! I know you can turn
the tables! Let’s go, our Kitchen Knight!”
“Ivana is ready to cook!” someone else yelled.
“And this time, her cooking is going to be nothing short of extraordinary!”
“Let’s see what happens to that demon in the hands of our Kitchen Knight!” another voice added, their energy matching the growing intensity of the battle.
