The warden who guards the witches

Aiden was a little surprised when he heard Arsenal say this: "What?"

"This thing is beyond my ability to handle." Arsenal said as she distanced herself from Aiden.

At the same time, the pool of mercury began to surge as if boiling, and quickly transformed into a human figure.

"Sure enough...theoretically there are only two ways to drive mercury like this. One is to use the most meticulous alchemy to make mercury into a drivable golem, and the other is to give life to the metal directly." Arsenal explained concisely, "For the former, my necromancy is ineffective against an object that has neither life nor soul. For the latter...it has completely exceeded the limit of what black magic can achieve. It is too high to be killed by necromancy. Please take care of yourself."

"Why don't you try it first?" Aiden glanced at her, "And why are you getting farther and farther away from me?"

"Its target seems to be you. As long as I keep a distance from you, I will be safe." Arsenal analyzed very rationally, "Standing too close will make it easy to be attacked at the same time."

"..." Aiden realized that it seemed a bit of a mistake to bring this necromancer here.

The mercury finally gathered into the shape of a woman, and her long hair floated against gravity like seaweed in the water.

Just as Arsenal had analyzed, it locked onto Aiden immediately, posing a tense attack posture, and also let out a metallic growl.

It was the golem sent by Vera - Aiden sensed the true form of this thing.

The witch actually took out a new killer weapon, a metal slime - no, it was much more advanced than that, this thing was basically a liquid robot.

Aiden was actually a little dumbfounded when he saw the mercury transform. From a crude puppet driven by runes to the T-1000 in "Terminator", this technology tree is too advanced, right?

It seems to have sneaked in through the sewer. This thing can probably transform and wander in the sewer pipes, and can also break through the pipes and enter the gaps in the wall. After the target approached, the golem broke through the wall and jumped out.

After a simple thought, Aiden decided to try to kill it. It might not be possible to escape, and as the warden here, he couldn't let such a dangerous monster wander around in his prison.

He drew his gun and fired without hesitation. His gun was loaded with magic-devouring bullets. This kind of ammunition was made of magic-forbidden stone, which was more precious than most gems. As long as it hit the target, it could seal the target's magic power, whether it penetrated or remained in the body. It was known as the "Mage Killer" and was a weapon used by the Inquisitors of the Heresy Bureau to deal with all spellcasters and magical creations. The only disadvantage was that it was expensive.

However, the moment he drew his gun, the mercury golem in the cell also responded quickly. It raised its hand and transformed its right hand into a shield covering the front. The bullet that was fired hit the shield and sparked.

Aiden was stunned for a moment. Liquid mercury could not forcefully deflect the bullet by hardness. This golem was probably not made entirely of mercury. It was probably mixed with some special materials that allowed it to harden quickly and freely.

The next second, the golem roared and rushed straight towards Aiden.

Aiden dodged, he had to dodge. The density of mercury is more than thirteen times the average density of the human body, almost twice that of iron. This golem, which looks about the same size as a slender adult woman, weighs at least half a ton. The impact of its attack is no different from that of a raging bull, not to mention that the golem may be able to forcefully penetrate into the body through its mouth and nose and tear itself to pieces.

After a brief hesitation, Arsenal, who had already pulled away, pointed her staff at the golem and cast the high-level necromancy "Ghost Fire".

The green flame immediately enveloped the re-formed golem, but it had no effect on the golem, and the golem did not even look back at her.

"Well, it really doesn't work." With an expected expression, Arsenal nodded gently.

"Ghost Fire" is a spell to burn the soul. The temperature of the flame is not high. It is unrealistic to instantly heat such a large volume of mercury to boiling point.

"Don't heat it up. Do you want me to get mercury poisoned?" Aiden stopped her. "If it's useless, retreat to the gate."

The golem's pounce completely separated him from Arsenal, but it didn't matter. He couldn't count on the necromancer anyway. He could only rely on himself to deal with the golem.

Aiden was still relatively calm. The golem was just a creation of black magic. After sneaking into the prison, the mercury golem only moved in the ordinary prison area and did not directly invade the core area to find him. This means that the golem is still restricted by the seal barrier, so the word of "order" should still work on it.

Thinking of this, he quickly retreated.

The mercury golem also approached. Although it changed into a human form, it didn't seem to walk on its feet like humans, but used its ankles to connect to a large pool of mercury and crawl on the ground.

Aiden then turned and ran deep into the corridor. The golem immediately responded, changed its movement mode, and began to change direction and bounce to chase him.

The end soon appeared in front of him, and the prisoners in the prison area had been cleared. After making sure that he had pulled away from the door, Aiden used his physical transformation, turned around and spoke the divine words to the golem that was chasing him.

He was very familiar with this set of skills. He had been studying this divine word as his trump card in the prison these days, and he had to practice it several times, but he didn't expect to be able to use it in actual combat so soon.

The Word of God took effect quickly. The golem, which was about to pounce on the prey that was cornered, suddenly stopped moving, then shrank into an oval shape and tumbled abnormally.

Finally, accompanied by a strange roar, the golem collapsed like a deflated balloon, slowly dissolving, like a piece of heated butter. Aiden's Word of God dispelled the transformation effect of black magic on this lump of mercury.

That's it... Because the ending was too simple, Aiden actually felt a sense of loss for a while.

But he immediately reflected on it. It should be a good thing to be able to solve it simply. This is not a game. The pressure of fighting back and forth when risking your life is not something that people like him can bear.

Speaking of which, this witch named Vera is really capable. She can even build a "Terminator". If she continues to study this technology tree in the future, will she be able to build a Magic Gundam?

Aiden thought endlessly, strolled carefully, and prepared to bypass this pool of mercury and call someone to come and clean it up.

But just as he took the first step, the mercury that was originally flowing slowly gathered again as if it had awakened.

Aiden was immediately stunned - this thing was actually still "alive"!
