The Wizard's Biological Chip Can Process Everything-Chapter 107: My mud golem’s abilities
The Golem before him weighed around 90 kilograms and stood 1.9 meters tall.
The yellow surface of its body had been constructed from loose, damp clay.
It had four distinct limbs and a head, but all of them were crudely made.
In addition, it lacked as many joints as a real human being.
Its legs were two thick pillars of mud that seemed to merge with the ground beneath its feet.
Its arms appeared capable of moving in any direction, and at the ends of them were a pair of gigantic hands, which were probably capable of gripping things tightly.
It had no face, but there were a few protrusions where a face would normally be.
From a distance, this Clay Golem looked like a bald man wearing yellow leather armor.
If a cloak were placed over its body, it could be used to deceive an enemy.
I ordered the Clay Golem to approach and stand in front of me.
This Clay Golem was indeed a creature made of earth, as it could move its heavy body across the soft ground without making a single sound.
Its movements were faster and lighter than those of a leopard, and no trace of its passage could be found on the ground.
However, it left strong traces of the Earth Element in its wake!
When I obtained the clay demonic core, I captured its soul inside it.
As a direct result of being made from a high-quality demonic core, this Clay Golem possessed intermediate intelligence, which was not as rigid as that of other Titans and Golems.
Through the mind-control runes I had carved into the core, I only needed to give a command, and it would carry out the order flawlessly.
Looking at the Clay Golem standing before me, I extended my arm and touched it.
Its skin was rough and solid.
Although it had been constructed from soft clay, it still had decent defense.
I took out a dagger and stabbed the Clay Golem’s waist several times.
The dagger simply pierced its skin and left a few marks, which quickly disappeared as a faint yellow glow appeared around the wound while the Golem regenerated.
Well, it had basic defense, was mostly immune to piercing damage, and could heal itself.
In short, the basic defense of a Clay Golem was similar to that of a body-refinement acolyte.
Of course, it could not be compared to a Stone Golem or Iron Golem, and its only notable feature was its self-healing ability.
I walked around the Clay Golem.
I felt that a height of 1.9 meters did not make it look powerful enough.
So, I decided to try making it larger.
Following my command, the silent Clay Golem began to grow bigger and bigger.
However, its once-solid clay body became soft and light.
When it finally reached a height of four meters, its entire body looked like a mass of gray mist.
The previously solid clay body transformed into a gaseous form resembling the Earth Element.
—Biochip, what went wrong?
["Beep!"]
["Insufficient magical energy to maintain control over such a large quantity of mud."]
After communicating with the Virtual Laboratory, I finally understood.
The demonic core I had used to create this Clay Golem only possessed the abilities of an advanced acolyte.
Therefore, it could only control a total of ninety kilograms of Earth Element.
Once that weight was exceeded, it would lose any substantial form it previously had.
The height of 1.9 meters was the most optimized result after extensive calculations conducted by the Virtual Laboratory.
At that size, the density of the Earth Element was at its ideal level, providing maximum defense.
If I tried to make it taller, the total volume of Earth Element would remain unchanged, causing the Clay Golem’s defensive strength to drop significantly.
So although it appeared taller, its density decreased. As a result, it would be difficult to protect the core hidden within its body.
I sighed helplessly, with no choice but to let the Clay Golem return to its previous form.
Next, I needed to test the few basic abilities that came with this Clay Golem.
Although weakened, the Earthquake ability that accompanied the Golem was still an offensive skill.
When activated, the ground around it trembled as the Clay Golem moved.
I tested it, and the vibrations affected smaller creatures the most, leaving them barely able to stand around the Clay Golem, much less launch attacks against it.
It could also be used decently against medium-sized creatures.
As for larger creatures, this ability was useless.
The second offensive skill I needed to test was Mud Clump.
To test it, I ordered the Clay Golem to lure three mud demons that were lurking near a nearby lake.
As a result, the Clay Golem and the three mud demons engaged in a "great battle" for my sake.
Strictly speaking, compared to a mud demon—which barely had decent offensive or defensive abilities—the Clay Golem, equivalent to a pseudo-summoned demon, could easily suppress them in all aspects.
No matter how much those three mud demons scratched or bit its solid skin, all scratch marks disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But when the Clay Golem attacked with its heavy fists, the mud demons were knocked down and suffered greatly.
"Pow~~"
Following my orders, the Clay Golem grabbed one of the mud demons with one hand and squeezed it until a cracking sound could be heard.
"Smahh~~"
Then it threw it away. While the mud demon was still flying through the air, the Clay Golem raised its hand above its head, and immediately, a one-meter-long hardened mud spear appeared in its grasp.
"Zoossssssshhh~~"
It hurled the spear into the air, piercing the frail body of the mud demon and nailing it to a Murderous Tree growing by the lakeside.
"Pow~~"
Being a demon itself, the mud demon possessed strong vitality. Even though its body had been pierced by the spear, it still struggled tirelessly, trying to break free.
A second spear was thrown, striking the mud demon’s head and leaving it hanging lifeless on the Murderous Tree.
"Pow~~"
At that moment, the remaining two mud demons clung to the Clay Golem’s body like two rabid dogs clinging to a meaty bone.
Using both arms, the Clay Golem forcefully tore them away from its body and slammed them to the ground.
As they struggled to rise, the Clay Golem raised both arms into the air.
In the next second, countless earth spikes erupted from the ground, turning them into two skewered chickens.
In just a brief moment, all three mud demons were annihilated, and the Clay Golem remained unscathed.
Throughout the entire process, I remained an indifferent spectator, allowing the biochip to collect real-time battle data so that it could formulate a more optimized strategy for using the Clay Golem in combat.
Soon, detailed data from the Clay Golem’s battle was projected into my mind.
["Clay Golem"]
["A simple lifeform classified as a Pseudo-Summoned Combat Golem"]
["Overall combat strength: Level 2 Acolyte"]
["Estimated Attributes: Strength: 11 | Agility: 4 | Vigor: 13 | Spiritual Power: 4"]
["Innate Skills: (Active)"]
["Earthquake (Weak)"]
["Effect Radius: 5 meters"]
["Vibration Magnitude: excellent against small creatures, moderate against medium creatures, and ineffective against large creatures"]
["Cooldown: None"]
...
["Mud Clump (Single Target)"]
["Damage: 12 Physical Damage (Based on Strength), 7 Earth Damage (Based on Spiritual Power)"]
["Range: 5–80 meters"]
["Cooldown: 3 seconds"]
...
["Spikes (AOE)"]
["Damage: 7 Physical Damage and 5 Earth Damage"]
["Range: 10×8 meters"]
...
["Innate Skills: (Passive)"]
["Earth Is in the Air (Recovers 7% health per minute)"]
Through these detailed data, I gained a better understanding of the Clay Golem I had created.
Judging by these statistics, the Clay Golem was only comparable to an Intermediate Apprentice.
However, considering its self-healing ability and lack of fear of death, it could unleash a basic combat strength similar to that of an Advanced Apprentice.
From what I understood, the damage caused by a spell cast by an Advanced Apprentice Adept ranged from 20–30 points, varying according to the caster’s spiritual power.
As for the defensive spells of an Advanced Apprentice, they had a defensive value of about 30–40 points, meaning that two attacks from an opponent of similar level would be enough to break a defensive spell.
In that regard, the offensive power of a Clay Golem was rather weak. If confronted with a higher-level acolyte, the Clay Golem would require my offensive support. Only then would it have a chance of defeating the enemy.
After all, my Solar Light Arc spell could deal 13–18 points of light damage and 5 points of physical damage.
If the Clay Golem and I worked together, we could break the defenses of a Level 3 Apprentice in a single round of attacks.
