Bab 223: Chapter 223 - The Golem's Early Retirement Plan

[Enigmatic Barrier of the Ancient Golem Lv. 200]

A faint smile played on Broken's lips as he read the floating text before him. The golem core socket was protected by a private domain—a detail that meant he could potentially bypass the barrier and tamper with it.

He reached out his hand, hesitantly touching the shimmering magic sphere. His finger pierced through the barrier effortlessly, followed by his entire hand. He felt around inside the socket, the sensation unfamiliar but tinged with raw, explosive energy. This must be the golem core.

"Broken?" Elincia called out. The entire team turned to watch him, curiosity and concern mingled in their expressions. "The core is protected by a magic barrier; we couldn't do anything."

Broken didn't respond immediately, his mind racing with the possibilities. What if he could destroy the golem core before the golem activated? Wouldn't that neutralize the threat completely?
