Chapter 18: Elite Rank Golem
The mana coiled around the level 0 golem's body, reinforcing it with earth elements from the surroundings.
Alec stood there, mesmerized by the magical transformation right before his eyes.
The Lanzt family members looked at him with anticipation, eagerly awaiting an explanation.
However, Alec found himself at a loss for words.
This was his first attempt at evolving his golem's rank, and he was perplexed by the incredible changes.
The blinding light emitted by the excess mana finally faded, revealing the beautifully transformed Golem in all its glory.
The swirling earth elements surrounded the golem as its body changed drastically.
I am Taking on a muscular and tall humanoid frame.
The earth elements quickly formed a protective armor around its body, merging seamlessly with him as he also had a newly elongated spear.
The colors shifted, becoming a rich blend of brown and black.
When Alec thought he had seen it all, he felt the remaining mana surge toward the golem's head.
An intricate helmet made of earth elements materialized instantly, concealing the golem's face in a T-shaped design and leaving its red eyes visible.
The swirling motion of the remaining mana ceased, instead flowing into the golem's body, enhancing its strength.
Alec could sense the golem growing more potent with each passing moment.
Despite wanting to interrupt the process, he knew better than to interfere.
Suddenly, Agnes's voice broke through Alec's focus.
" Alec, whatever you're doing seems to be attracting the zombies' attention," she warned urgently.
Startled, Alec turned his head and noticed that the zombies had become even more aggressive, charging at the line of defense they formed like deranged dogs.
'They are attracted to the mana surrounding the golem,' Alec thought.
He realized that the compressed mana that had helped the golem advance could also potentially promote the zombies in rank.
However, it seemed that the golem's evolution was ending as it ceased levitating and dropped to the ground.
The collision between the golem and the earth created a resounding "bang" reverberating through the surroundings.
Alec took a moment to admire the impressive appearance of his new Tier 1 golem, noticing the addition of a circular shield on its left hand.
The sight reminded him of the formidable spartan soldiers who fought with shields and spears.
"It seems you have just completed your evolution; let's see what you're capable of," Alec murmured, his excitement growing.
He examined the newly evolved golem closely, observing its formidable qualities.

[This rare golem had been meticulously crafted from pure mana and had transformed, shedding its ordinary form through countless gruesome battles. The result was a masterpiece, a being with immense potential for further evolution.]
Just by looking at the golem, Alec couldn't help but feel satisfied that he had finally unlocked the secret to creating golems like Titan.
He was well aware that he could only have ten primary golems attached to him at the low-rank Mage realm, despite what his Golem art said, as his Mana and Mental power can't control more than that amount.
So, he planned to make each of them follow different paths and be unique.
But for now, he wanted to enjoy the exhilaration of creating an entirely new life form.
Alec's focus was solely on the golem in front of him.
He absentmindedly put his hands on his chin, completely absorbed in observing the golem, momentarily forgetting that he was still on a dangerous battlefield.
As he studied the three-foot golem, Alec couldn't help but notice how much more human-like it appeared compared to the hulking and overweight Titan, who resembled a miniature giant.
The finely defined stone muscles on the golem's body appeared almost too good to be true.
What surprised him even more was that this golem seemed to possess a near-balanced distribution of stats, unlike Titan, whose strength and endurance were abnormally high.
In terms of speed, this golem surpassed even the initial creation of Titan and was still slightly quicker than the current version, as indicated by the system's stats rating.
Alec's satisfaction grew as he examined the golem's skill set.
He was pleased to see that it still possessed its spear mastery.
However, what truly amazed him was the intricacy of the armor and weapons that the mana had created for the golem.
He couldn't help but wonder if it would be more fitting to call them armament rather than mere armor.

Alec's mouth was wide open in astonishment as he observed the abundance of bonus stats and equipment.
He was confident that this golem would be much stronger than the Titan.
"Hmm, is it because its rank is Elite or something? It appears to be unbelievably powerful,"
Alec mused aloud, frustration evident in his tone.
"Ah, my mana is completely drained; so many questions I want to ask the system,"
He muttered, running his fingers through his hair as he examined the radiant golem, which emanated an aura of perfection.
[X: You have reached level Five, and to upgrade to the next rank, you must accumulate 1000 exp.]
"Hmm, when did I reach level five?" Alec exclaimed in surprise, suddenly recalling that he hadn't participated in any battles recently.
He was sure that amassing 750 exp would be no easy task, yet he was at level five.
