Chapter 517: Specter Eternal Golem

"W-What?! What was that?" said one of the people on the isolated island.

"That was a nasty cry!" said one of the experts.

"It's coming from the vortex!" said one of the cultivators

They all gulped their saliva as they looked over to that spiraling vortex of the void. What kind of devastating scream could penetrate even the space between two different realms.

---

*Rattle! 

*Rattle!

Zet furrowed his eyebrows as he faced to the south of the realm. The reverberating shout made a stinging ring inside his heads and the fellow elders.

"W-What was that?! Young master, are you alright?" asked Elder Gunther. His eyebrows later furrowed as the rattling sword in his waist started to shake severely. (W-What's going on...) he gulped his saliva. The unease feeling was definitely coming from the south.

"Irae..." muttered Zet as he held his famous curved sword firmly. It was convulsing, whatever being that was shouting Lyon's last name was responsible for this reaction.

(Shit!) cried Zet inwardly. (I can't move my legs! C'mon! I need to help him!) he gritted his teeth to fight the fervent fear but his feet won't budge at all. 

"Hah, hah, hah," Zet was panting and ignored the elders' concern. His veins bulged but no step was made.

Ivy was standing straight as she looked over to the south. The cry was loud and devastating even a deaf person would hear it. 

"Something sinister is bubbling up over there," muttered Ivy.

Elder Crystal furrowed her eyebrows, "Should we come to his aid?"

"Can you move?" asked Ivy.

"Huh?" Elder Crystal raised one of her eyebrows before she tried to move one of her feet. (What?!) thought the elder as her eyes opened wide in disbelief. 

She furrowed her eyebrows before she tried to force it but only her upper body was free of the reign.

"What's going on?" asked Elder Crystal as she gave up trying. She didn't see any hint of ice on her legs but no matter how much force she put, her waist down couldn't twitch even the smallest fiber of her muscle.

"I don't know," Ivy furrowed her eyebrows. "But it is most likely because of that roar."

Her eyes turned sharp before a wild gale came crashing against their group. Her icy hair fluttered against the wind. (Is this the reason why you join the expedition?

------

"What was that?" asked Porealus before he turned to the south.

*Thump!

His heart thumped out of the cycle before he felt his legs locked down.

"Elder Peli!" shouted Porealus.

"I-I'm afraid I have no idea young master, this is not on the map!" said Elder Peli as he too succumbed to the same fate as the others.

"Did my grandfather mention anything about this?!"

"No, young master, if he did I would have certainly let the young master know," said Elder Peli as he bowed in reverence.

"Then what the hell was tha—!!"

A bellowing wind soon caught up and crashed against them but even with the strength of the gale that could render buildings to the ground, their feet still etched to the ground without any chance of moving.

-----

"Everyone step back!" shouted Cecile as she instinctively pushed her mother away. (Shit!) thought Cecile as she couldn't move her embrace away.

"The Golem's Petrification!" cried Kesya as her legs were locked down.

"W-What?!" shouted Jin but he couldn't move either.

"What immense pressure!" said Garuda as he had cold sweat drenching his forehead. "Are you alright, Ayumu?!"

"E-En, I manage," said Ayumu as the intense atmosphere made her pant.

Yunesia and Madoku suffered the same fate as the others.

"Lyon!" shouted Lumina as she tried to reach out to him.

"Huh?" Lyon's pupils were constricted before a huge towering figure that encompassed half a mountain appeared right behind him. He turned a glance before he face up and looked at the huge figure.

"No way..." muttered Cecile as she recognize the humongous being.

"Tch! Master, it's the  Specter of Eternal Golem!" said Graham as he couldn't approach his young master.

"What's a Specter?" asked Lyon.

Assid said, "It's the peak level of Remnant! It has—"

"Hmm?" The voice was bellowing and it came from the huge figure.

"Conscience," Assid's eyes turned sharp.

"I don't think that you would still be alive! Eternal Golem!" shouted Cecile.

Their eyes immediately twitched as they finally knew what was the thing that stood sky high. The immediate danger was justified but their safe options immediately constricted to limited options. Their legs were locked, no mana in their surroundings. They were all trapped.

"Oh?" The figure crouched down. It was not as hollow as the other remnants and the lines of its shape were clearly visible. Its eyes were as merlot red as the sky and the unfathomable strength could be felt just by a glance.

The Eternal Golem's eyes dilated as it saw Cecile.

"Are you... perhaps... Cecile's descendant?" its entire face almost encompassed the whole view.

Some of the group were confused by its assumption.

"That auburn hair, there is no doubt about it, you are her descendant!" said the Eternal Golem as it suddenly pulled out its own conclusion.

Cecile refrained to answer and looked it straight in its eyes.

"Hahaha, you're fierce! Just like your ancestor, the bitch ripped three fourth of my soul! To think that I would have the chance to rip out her descendant, might not be enough to satiate my vengeance but it is the next best thing, right? Hahaha!" its bellowing laugh reverberated the realm but it soon came to a pause as it got a glance toward the young man.

"You on the other hand... You must be his son. That wretched trash Lyon Torga!"

"HOW DARE YOU DENOUNCE MY MASTER'S NAME!"

"Huh?" the Eternal Golem glance toward the shouter.

Graham was walking toward the giant albeit the Golem's Petrification. Though his walk was as rigid as stone his eyes were glaring at the humongous figure that's about ten times his size.
