Chapter 141: One Hundred Thousand Runes
The problem was, everything Lord Shaun said was true.
It was only with Lord Shaun's help that Leon managed to escape Prince Barov's tomb alive, leaving Leon at a loss for words...
The Eye of Reincarnation and the mechanisms of the Alchemical Golems were more or less as Leon had expected. Each time he touched the Eye of Reincarnation, a batch of Alchemical Golems would be alerted, and with each batch, the number would increase by one or two. At first, there weren't that many golems triggered each time.
So after each battle, Leon only needed a few hours of rest before he could touch the Eye of Reincarnation again. After seven or eight rounds, Leon had accumulated over ten thousand runes, and the Mana Harness within him had successfully advanced to three arrays.
With three Mana Harness arrays, Leon could now complete six formations, each one far more powerful than his previous Runic Detonation.
However, as Leon's combat strength soared, the number of Alchemical Golems also grew rapidly...
By the fifteenth time Leon touched the Eye of Reincarnation, the number of Alchemical Golems had reached over thirty. Each one was equivalent to a Ninth-Tier Swordmaster. With such numbers and strength, even with three Mana Harness arrays, Leon was starting to struggle.
After that, Leon had no choice but to slow down his pace with the Eye of Reincarnation...
After each battle, Leon would spend at least a day to recover and reflect before daring to touch the Eye of Reincarnation again.
After half a month, Leon successfully acquired four Mana Harness arrays.
But from this point on, Leon felt like he was walking a tightrope. Each batch of Alchemical Golems numbered in the dozens, and they were no longer limited to Swordmaster types; on average, among every ten Swordmaster Alchemical Golems, there would be several Grand Mage Alchemical Golems.
This was not as simple as one plus one equals two…
The appearance of Grand Mage Alchemical Golems completely destroyed most of Leon's previous tactics. He had to rethink and replan, and since these were two entirely different types of Alchemical Golems, even basic coordination between them was enough to raise the difficulty of the battle to a whole new level.
Thus, Leon was once again plunged into a bitter struggle, spending a full three hours to wipe out this batch of Alchemical Golems.
Moreover, Leon knew that with the appearance of Grand Mage Alchemical Golems, the days ahead would be far less easy than before.
And indeed, for the next twenty days or so, Leon only dared to touch the Eye of Reincarnation once every two days, and each battle grew harder than the last. In the final fight, among the Grand Mage and Swordmaster golems, three Archmage Alchemical Golems even appeared…
Although by this time, Leon already had five Mana Harness arrays and the strength to face Archmages head-on, the appearance of three Archmage Alchemical Golems still easily forced Leon into a desperate situation. In the end, it was only thanks to Lord Shaun's outburst that Leon survived the battle.
As a result, Lord Shaun had something to say…
For more than a month, Lord Shaun had been absorbing the power of Tier-18 Mana Crystals every day, recovering nearly a tenth of his strength. But with this latest outburst, all the energy he had painstakingly accumulated was instantly depleted. Lord Shaun bluntly demanded that all Tier-18 Mana Crystals obtained this time should be his to enjoy!
