The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Golem

Dana accepted the Golem spell book and hesitantly stroked the cover, hoping that she would be able to use this one the way that Karl did [Shred].

After a moment of hesitation, she flipped open the cover, and the book vanished. Prince Axel and the other mages didn't look surprised, but Dana was nearly vibrating with joy as she learned the spell, improving her repertoire to three spells in total.

"Now cast it, and we can see how it turns out. Each mage has a different Golem, based on their proficiencies, and it's the best way to tell the forward path for them." Prince Axel explained.

Dana cast the Golem, which came out looking more like an ancient statue, white marble and distinctly lacking clothes, other than a loincloth. As soon as she saw it, she blushed bright red, and she was about to dismiss it, but the teacher stopped her.

"It will come back the same way every time. But a stone Golem is a good one, second only to the Iron Golems in versatility. Most of the students get a clay, wood or sand Golem, which aren't as strong, though the sand Golem is quite difficult to damage.

The clear visualization of the human form is actually a sign of superior mana control, which improves its agility, and it should be as physically strong as a monster at your Rank, so it won't be weak in battle." The professor explained.

"Once you learn the [Mage Armour] spell, you can dress it in proper clothing." The Prince whispered in a teasing tone.

Karl examined it for a few seconds, wondering why it looked so familiar, even though he had seen numerous golem spells cast by students since he arrived, and one of the other team leaders in the Saturday group had a large mud Golem among his spells.

Then his mind went to the training Golems in the rooms that the other two members of his team on the first day chose. That was where he had seen this sort of detailed Golem before, but those were both armoured, and not in some sort of semi nudist classical art style.

The teacher smiled at Dana's embarrassment, but his satisfaction was immense. Not only had two of their first year students made it to Awakened Rank this week, but the senior Elites saw fit to grant both of them and the school some new abilities to teach the students. Nothing was going to bring him down off that high today.

"How well can a stone statue stand up against a magical attack, though?" Dana asked, as she had never personally fought against one before.

"The stone is magical as well. Though it looks like a simple statue, hacking at it with a regular sword will do nothing, and hitting it with an Awakened Rank spell will only do minor damage most of the time." The professor explained.
