Chapter 1317 Clash

After being pummeled with one attack after another the golem unexpectedly went completely dark but it was only for a moment before one by one more and more runes started lighting up on its head.

In fact, in the blink of an eye, its head was completely covered!

It did not stop there. After the head, it was the torso and then the hands and the legs. In a second every single rune on the damn thing had lit up.

Liam tensed up as this clearly couldn't be anything good. Before he could finish his thought a blast of power hit him in the face.

The force of the blast knocked Liam backward, his feet skidding across the stage to stabilize himself. This surge of power from the golem was unlike anything it had exhibited before; the runes covering its body not only amplified its strength but seemingly granted it new abilities that Liam hadn't anticipated.

Liam quickly regained his composure, narrowing his eyes as he assessed the golem. The entire construct now pulsed with pure unadulterated mana and the real attack hadn't even been launched yet.

In that crucial moment, with the golem charging its potentially devastating attack, Liam's understanding of mana manipulation deepened exponentially.

Drawing on this epiphany, Liam shifted his stance, closing his eyes for a moment to fully attune himself to the mana around him. He could feel the energy from the stage, pulsating with power, waiting to be harnessed. Instead of drawing it forcefully, Liam let the mana come to him, merging with his own energy. He immediately grasped the chance and consolidated everything in his mind. Quickly a new dao seed started materializing within him.

This dao seed was a little different. It was vague and spindly like bunched-up spider web threads but each of these threads was made of extremely condensed mana and they contained tremendous power.

The formation of this new dao seed was like the ignition of a star within him, a burst of insight and power that radiated through his very being. The threads of condensed mana wove themselves into a complex, ever-shifting pattern, symbolizing his mastery and deep understanding of mana manipulation. It was as though Liam had discovered a new language, one that spoke directly to the essence of mana itself.

As he tapped into the dao seed, the ambient mana on the stage, which had been a subtle aid, now felt like a roaring river, eager to follow his command.

Liam raised his hands, and the mana responded, swirling around him in a mesmerizing dance. He directed this flow towards the golem, not as individual attacks but as a continuous stream of force, guided by the intricate patterns of his new dao seed.

It was a turbulent, destructive stream of pure energy and for the first time the defense erected by the golem cracked. As mana crashed into the golem unimpededly, the construct shuddered and let out the attack it had been preparing until now.
