The mountain that once stood tall and proud was now reduced to a scene of utter destruction. Its mighty form shattered and crumbled, remnants laying scattered across the scorched earth. The once imposing peak was now a jagged silhouette, its fragmented rocks reaching out like broken claws towards the turbulent sky. Massive boulders, dislodged from their original positions, tumbled down the slopes, leaving trails of destruction in their wake. The sound of crumbling stone echoed through the desolate surroundings. The area surrounding the shattered mountain was a wasteland of devastation. The ground itself bore deep scars, ripped apart by the Thunderstone Guardian's powerful onslaught. Fissures crisscrossed the earth, radiating outwards from the epicenter of the impact. The soil was upturned and charred, its fertile nature transformed into a barren, lifeless expanse. The air was heavy with the acrid scent of smoke and burnt vegetation, remnants of the Thunderstone guardian's unleashed

The forged leg and arm had a captivating aesthetic, featuring a sleek black exterior with intricate golden and silver lines adorning their surfaces. The limbs exuded an air of elegance and power, a testament to Neo's resilience and his affinity for the elemental forces. The black hue of the limbs conveyed an aura of strength and mystery. It gave them a distinct presence, blending seamlessly with Neo's overall appearance. The golden lines, delicately traced along the contours, provided a brilliant contrast against the dark background. These lines shimmered with a radiant glow, symbolizing Neo's connection to the divine energy and his ability to wield the energies of light. Intertwined with the golden lines, the silver accents added a touch of refinement to the limbs. They followed the curves and contours of the limbs, accentuating their shape and imbuing them with a sense of balance and grace. Embedded within the black surface were meticulously inscribed runes, their intricate patte

[Testing.....] [Mechanical Golem Core] [Rank D+] {…} "…" {Should I be happy?} "That's pretty good for your first time." Elethra said as she looked at the rank and praised him, which only ended up embarrassing him more as he felt that she was helping him up, and said, "Thank you, I would like to try again." Elethra nodded and left him to his devices. She only came to deliver tea and meals when he felt exhausted. Neo at first thanked her, but then it became usual, and he would only smile before eating and going back to work. After a week. "Elethra, check this." Neo smiled when he saw Elethra entering the room and pointed at the new rank. [Rank A] Elethra also smiled when she saw this and said, "That's good, Neo. You really amazed me." Neo scratched his head, giving her a shy smile and then said, "Now I need to make a body." "Oh, I already did that." Elethra said, and a mechanical body appeared before him. She grabbed the core from the pedestal and put it in. Neo vision wa

"What is a Mythical Beast?" Neo asked as now he was curious. He saw Elethra shaking her head."All you'll hear is going to be gibrish and a lot of headache due to Tower's interference."{And I should be surprised about this?}Neo already expected something like that along the line, so he wasn't that much disappointed and asked, "Do you have any of those?""I have everything except the Essence of Twilight, as it goes bad in a day."Neo nodded and asked, "Can you give--""Okay"Neo didn't even complete his words and Elethra agreed to it, as what she received from him was something whose value she couldn't fathom.Neo smiled as he tried bowing but found himself straight as taut, unable to bow.{She's not letting me.}Neo stopped and just nodded as he said, "I owe you one more."He felt awkward even saying that, but he got nothing else except what he planned for her. But it was his gift, so it didn't count."Can you tell me where I can find this Essence of Twilight?"Elethra nodded as she

The group arrived back in the city, panting. The girls were still in shock as they didn't expect the monster to be of that high level and also felt a relief wash over him. They didn't try to enter the forest recklessly, otherwise their lives would've been forfeited. "Sorry about that." Neo said as their drained, and panting face came to his vision. He just compromised their safety, but he also didn't expect the boss monster to be a centipede. Elethra didn't mention that. {And she sent the flappy bird to help.} Neo saw Myra shaking her head and saying, "No, we also needed to see that. It helped us to keep our feet on ground." Mira nodded too, as she felt she had gotten an awakening call. She felt complacent that she was a 1st rank evolver but seeing that huge centipede made her know how small that achievement was. Just then, she felt a hand on her head that ruffled her hair. "Don't beat yourself too hard, that was just bad luck," Blaze said as he nodded toward Myra and walked tow
