Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Chapter 124: The Statue's Sob Story! (a)

“Rawrrrr!”

An instant after Elliot laid his eyes on the statue, its eye flared up in an eerie glow, and almost simultaneously, its mouth opened wide, releasing a roar so strong that he could feel violent vibrations in the floor beneath his feet and a disastrous ringing in his ears.

<-1 HP>

The sound was damaging to hear, not only for his ears but his body and internal organs too.

<-1 HP>

The roar continued to come out of its mouth in the form of barely discernable sound waves that attacked Elliot, and he didn’t doubt that he will lose his health one point at a time until he dies if he doesn’t do anything soon to block the sound waves!

<-1 HP>

<You’ve lost one-third of your health>

<7/10 HP>

Before it could do him more harm, Elliot used the power of his divine matrix, and a palm-sized amount of golden energy suddenly manifested around his ears and condensed into the shape of earplugs, which he inserted into his ears.

<0 damage>

<You’ve successfully blocked the sound attack of the copper statue>

Thanks to the golden earplugs covering his ear canal and blocking the sound vibrations from traveling down the canal to the eardrum as well as the rest of his internal organs, Elliot’s health stopped decreasing.

“What kind of absurdity is this? I would’ve died a dog’s death if I was a normal magician with no way of sealing my ears and blocking my ability to hear sound.”

Elliot didn’t have much time to complain as the copper statue humanoid made its second attack.

The statue with a feather in its hand didn’t wait for Elliot to grasp the situation before it swiped its wings towards him, suddenly generating a violent gust of wind. It came crashing down towards Elliot. Evading this blow was impossible as the place was too narrow. Whether he moved to the back or the front, to the left or the right, he will inevitably get hit by it.

Whoosh!

Although there were a lot of thoughts plaguing his mind, enough to make him lose half of his focus, he still managed to keep his eyes wide open, and when he saw a violent gust of emerald wind coming towards him, he hurriedly raised his hands. At the same time, a profound image popped up in his mind, and in that very moment, the divine matrix on his soul devoured a few dozen units of the essence of life from his body in order to make the image in his mind materialize in the real world.

<-39 units of the essence of life>

Immediately a flash of gold burst out of his palms, shooting towards the power packing emerald wind.

Bam!

A resounding reverberation like a clap thunder sounded when their attacks met. Elliot’s golden energy and the statue’s wind attack exploded, causing gushes of wind imbued with golden flickers to blast outwards from the point of impact.

Elliot pressed his feet on the floor and crossed his arms before his face and chest so that the impact of the explosion won’t push him even a single step back from his place.

<+16 units of the essence of life> The golden flickers in the wind that passed by him and the one that crashed on him, he absorbed them to get several units of the essence of life back in his pocket.

The statue noticed that Elliot had survived its attack that could severely harm mediocre channel opening stage magician and felt impressed.

“You reacted instantly to the situation with the most suitable solution. That’s indeed commendable. No wonder the spirit of the barrier transported you to the corridor of destiny.” A voice suddenly sounded in Elliot’s sealed ears! He raised his head in shock and looked at the only thing that could’ve said those words, the copper statue.

“So it can speak?!” Elliot was surprised to hear it talk and even more surprised to hear its voice directly in his head.

Furthermore, now that he wasn’t getting attacked and had time on his hands, he used his godly right eye to know more about the statue.

A large amount of information entered his mind when he used the special ability of his eye while looking at the statue.

“Who are you and where am I?” Elliot acted as if he didn’t know a single thing about him while looking at it with an intense gaze so that he won’t miss if it does anything fishy.

“You’re in the Trial of the Chosen ones. Only those that the spirit of the barrier approves of can come to this place. I’m the manager of this trial, and also the main part of the trial.”

The same old rough voice rang in his mind.

Elliot remembered that it was only him and his friends that turned into particles of light in the blink of an eye and got pulled inside the barrier. One of the things he was confused about got answered. “So, it was the barrier’s doing!” He concluded in his mind.

But doesn’t that mean John and Theo are also in this place?

Elliot asked, “Is there any other person in this place except for me?”

The statue looked at him in silence for a brief moment before its voice sounded in his mind.

“That I can not say.”

Wtf? Was it just trying to build up suspense?!
