Meanwhile, the combatants all turned their heads in unison towards a direction—the location where the obelisk had flown, but it was empty because Xiangzi and others had already hidden under the midpoint of the obelisk.
But what everyone had not noticed was that at the same time the giant rock had shattered, another location entered the center of the battlefield.
Fang Hong didn't have it easy. He released his grip on the stone just before it collided with the shield, but the huge inertia still carried him towards the ground.
Indeed, he opened the Glider Wing given by Miss Sicape at the very last moment, but it was futile with such acceleration—his landing spot was only slightly behind the obelisk, crashing directly into the midst of the Blood Oath Alliance's formation, striking an Iron Guard from the opposing side.
Both of them flew out together, and just happened to roll into the center of the battlefield. The impact nearly knocked Fang Hong unconscious, even with someone to cushion him. His life force was instantly reduced by more than half, while the unlucky soul who cushioned his fall was already transformed into a beam of white light.
Many people noticed this movement and looked in this direction. Fortunately, thanks to the Invisibility Potion kindly supplied by the Blood Oath Alliance, Fang Hong escaped disaster.
However, that initial collision had severely compromised the effectiveness of the Invisibility Potion. The invisibility effect, which was supposed to last for more than ten seconds, became extremely unstable, almost exposing his form at any moment.
Moreover, not knowing whether it was a spell or ability from Kukulkan's Holy Relics that countered invisibility, before he had a chance to get up from the ground, the giant statue had already turned its gaze upon him, like a sly mouse sneaking into the center of the battlefield.
Three heads, six eyes focused intently on Fang Hong.
Before anyone else could react, the giant statue had already turned around with a creaking noise, then lifted a foot and stomped towards Fang Hong, who was still on the ground. "Damn, does it have to be like this? I just arrived; is there such a huge grudge?" Initially dizzy from the fall, he was frightened into alertness by this and couldn't help but scream, rolling to one side and then raising his right hand to shoot a Rocket Fist at the giant statue's right shoulder.
This series of movements finally caught the attention of others, who were watching the outskirts of the battlefield. They then came to their senses, noticing the commotion in the center. They turned around, just in time to see the giant statue turn back and stomp down, and at the same time, saw Fang Hong shoot out the 'Claw Hook.'
With a heavy stomp by Kukulkan's Holy Relics, the ground at the center collapsed with a boom, sending a wave rolling out, causing several Iron Defenders from Blood Oath Alliance nearby to fall to the ground. But before that, Fang Hong, under the pull of the cable, had leapt up and flew towards its back.
The giant statue let out a furious roar. The two hands at the back unexpectedly extended in reversed joints towards Fang Hong. However, Fang Hong was familiar with this move and was well prepared. He released the claw, and his whole body dropped, leaving the statue to slap its own back.
Then Fang Hong tightened the claw again, the Metal Gauntlets of his Reinforced Gloves sparking brightly on the giant statue's back, firmly hooking its two hands. He then made a quick stop mid-air, stabilizing right at the waist of the giant statue.
At this point, the combatants from both sides finally saw this flea-like fellow, and the Magic Guided Conductors and Elementalists from both sides almost simultaneously raised their Magic Guided Conductors in their hands—joking aside, they had been fighting to the death here all day. It wasn't to make a bridal dress for someone else.
But just then, an urgent voice came from the crowd of Rain Listener's side: "Stop, he's one of ours! Attack the Blood Oath Alliance's Magic Guided Group, cover him!"
Fang Hong was still swaying mid-air but heard this clearly—it was one of the sisters' voice, but he didn't know whether it was Alice or Elisa. He didn't have time to guess and just shouted, "Alice, don't attack the group! Attack the giant statue!"
The young girl in the crowd hesitated slightly upon hearing this.
By this time, Kukulkan's Holy Relics had already twisted the steel wire of Fang Hong's Claw Hook, pulling him like a spinning spider from front to back.
But Fang Hong had no desire to be a Flying Man. He quickly pulled a Clockwork Fairy from his belt with his other hand, threw it forcefully forward, and simultaneously swung his left hand. The Clockwork Fairy shot forward a golden stream of light, then turned a corner, shooting towards the back of the giant statue.
At this point, the fighting between the Magic Guided Groups of Rain Listener and the Blood Oath Alliance was finally ready. They simultaneously raised the Magic Wand and Star Plate Magic Guided Conductors in their hands, aiming at the center of the battlefield.
The targets of both sides were Fang Hong and the giant statue itself.
But at that moment, the Prismatic Holy Shield appeared once again beside the giant statue, blocking all the torrential spells from outside—a Fireball Spell not far from Fang Hong hit an invisible wall, unable to get closer to him even by half an inch.
"Can it work like that too!?"
Both fighting sides were stunned. They had been fighting for a long time and were of course aware of the mechanism of the giant statue, but they hadn't expected that it could be exploited like this. Seeing this from afar, Elisa's eyes gleamed. If they had known this principle earlier, why would they need to wait until now?
But now it was too late.
The giant statue lifted Fang Hong, ready to throw him away, but just moments before, the inconspicuous Clockwork Fairy had already flown behind it. Then Fang Hong gently snapped his fingers, saying, "Detonate—"
A dazzling flash.
The wind from the explosion, carrying immense force, surged from behind the statue. Caught off guard, it was actually flipped forward a step, losing its balance and heavily toppling forward. At the same time, its hands loosened, letting Fang Hong fall toward the ground.
That scene was like a collapsing giant wall, overwhelmingly crashing down upon him.
The vast shadow had already obscured everything, while Fang Hong's gaze stayed fixed on the crystal in the center of the holy remains' chest. He clicked his arm armor back into place, adjusted his posture mid-air, and pressed his left hand against his right arm.
Then, squinting his eyes and tilting his head, he aimed at the center of the statue's chest.
"Fire!"
With a loud bang, a rocket flew out, aimed directly at the crystal column—but the scene was more like the collapsing statue smashing straight into its fist, the flying fist striking the center of the crystal, creating a crisp crack, shattering the precious gemstone in an instant.
Then the statue finally fell heavily, landing right on top of Fang Hong.
"Ah—!" Elisa, watching from afar, was so frightened she almost screamed.
But in the center of the battlefield, as the dust slowly settled—
Fang Hong alone stood beneath the statue, supporting what was akin to a small mountain of holy remains with just one hand. He even tilted his head slightly, playfully smiling at Elisa from a distance.
Signaling to her not to worry.
That scene simply stunned everyone. The statue, twelve to thirteen meters tall and made of heavy obsidian and gold, weighed hundreds if not thousands of tons. Even heroes from myths—
wouldn't be able to support it with one hand, right?
Moreover, in this trial, wasn't the highest level only fifteen? Could this guy be cheating?
That thought flashed through many minds simultaneously, but only Elisa's eyes sparkled with a bright light as she suddenly realized what had happened, watching this young Alchemist of the same age with immense surprise.
Because in Fang Hong's hand—
The statue was gradually fading, turning into a semi-transparent phantom, slowly disappearing on the battlefield.
And what Fang Hong was actually supporting was just a palm-sized crystal, glowing with a purple light. The battlefield became utterly silent as the young man held the crystal, calmly turned around, and looked toward the people of the Blood Oath Alliance.
Those people involuntarily took a step back in unison.
But Fang Hong certainly knew why these people had retreated, and he lightly said, "Guardian Golem, activate—"
