Three minutes later a human figure appeared in the distance quickly becoming bigger and bigger. As the figure got closer, Blake suddenly noticed something was wrong. The figure was still some distance away from him but he could already clearly see who, or what to be precise, was running towards him.

It was a humanoid being made of rocks about three meters tall with a bulky build and two shiny red gems for its eyes. About a hundred meters behind this being were two people dressed fully in black, each of them holding a sword as they were quickly catching up to this being.

'A golem! I can't believe I would meet such a magical creature this soon. But what is going on there, are those two trying to kill the poor rock?' Blake was really surprised when he saw the golem. He already fought a giant yellow rat but that could in no way compare to seeing a golem with his own two eyes.

 As the golem got even closer, Blake noticed that the golem was trying to protect something it was holding in its left hand and that it had sword cuts all over its body. Soon the two swordsmen caught up to the golem and swung their swords at the back of the golem. The golem felt the cold light and surprisingly quickly turned around and sent a fist covered in brown light at the man closer to it.

When the swords cut into the abdomen, the fist of the golem simultaneously hit one of the men and he exploded like a balloon pierced by a needle. The golem wasn't much better off as its left leg was cut off cleanly and it fell on the ground. The man that survived was staring at the place where his companion died, stunned. Soon the surprise transformed into anger as he turned to look at the golem on the ground that was trying to stand up with its only leg left.

"You actually dared to killed my brother. I was going to grant you a swift death after taking the manual but now I am going to make you wish you were dead." The man was spitting everywhere as he roared, his face red and his eyes bloodshot because his fury.

 "GROWL!" The golem was staring straight into the man's eyes without any fear but Blake could clearly feel the sorrow it was trying to hide. It slowly got up by supporting itself with a tree and after that it carefully put the scroll it was hiding in its left hand on the ground.

The man was clearly furious but when he saw the scroll, greed flashed in his eyes and he said grimly, "If your small village pledged loyalty to our Moren Clan and obediently handed over that scroll, it wouldn't have been annihilated. Hopefully you won't make such a mistake in your next life."

Having said that, he swung the sword in his hand at the golem's head. The golem quickly blocked with its left hand and punched the man with its right hand, the brown light once again enclosing the fist. The man suddenly disappeared just when the sword was about to land and he appeared behind the golem. He once again swung his sword and cut off the golem's head.

Seeing the head fall down he finally relaxed and let out a sigh yet what he couldn't see was the smile on the golem's face as if it wasn't the least surprised by what happened. Out of nowhere a strong light was released from the body of the golem and it exploded into hundreds of small sharp pieces that flew everywhere. The man clearly wasn't prepared for that and he was turned into a beehive.

All that was left of this destructive fight was a corpse, a scroll and several hundred small rocks in the middle of a forest. Nobody knew what happened here. Nobody but a small hummingbird that was looking from afar, his eyes wide open.
