"Master! Please take care of our child!" said a woman holding a baby in her arms.
The woman's condition was so severe that her right hand had been severed and was still bleeding, and her left eye was not even in place.
The figure referred to as the Master received the baby, he looked at a mother who was struggling to save her child.
Before the Master Sage could speak the woman had already turned her back to him while holding a wand, in her hand to prepare to join the male figure with hundreds of arrows and spears stuck in his body but still continued to fight hundreds of creatures that had no clear shape with his bare hands.
The woman turned her head for a moment and smiled softly, "Lylah... live joyfully! We love you."
After that, the woman moved forward and in one swing, she unleashed hundreds of magic circles that instantly activated and left the area in ruins.
The figure called Master reluctantly left the two people who were struggling against the indistinct creatures.
But suddenly the fog appeared and made the scene change which showed the figure of the Master who was dying waiting for death on a chair or throne with a hollow chest with various wounds carved on his body.
And after that everything became dark and silent.
"gah!... hah... hah... hah..." Lylah woke up with very heavy breathing as if she had done heavy exercise.
When she looked around she only saw flowers that were now only white but continued to give off balls of light that floated towards the large tree in the center of the place.
"Rocky... how long have we been here?" he said in a daze.
"tak tak... srak" (how do I know? There's no clock here) Rocky replied.
Hearing the answer in the form of scraping and banging stones Lylah became even more limp, "haah, I forgot that you can't talk... never mind! Let's get out of here!"
Lylah immediately got up and straightened her clothes, followed by Rocky who was now wearing nothing but a helmet that didn't look very good.
Rocky took off and looked at the adamantium helmet in his hand, even though the helmet had only been used once but now it looked like a worn-out object with scratches here and there even though there were no dents on the helmet.
Lylah, who was also aware of Rocky's behavior, snatched the helmet from his hand, "Let it go! I'll fix it and I promise I'll make it better... but promise that you'll keep helping me! And stay by my side!"
Lylah put the helmet on Rocky's head and held up her little finger to seal the promise.
Rocky did the same because he already considered Lylah his own sister and now both of them hooked their little fingers together.
But at that moment, balls of light immediately shot and headed to both Lylah and Rocky's arms, the balls gathered into a rope that bound the two. And slowly a bracelet was created from the glowing rope.
Now on Lylah and Rocky's right hand was a bracelet made of plants with small flowers decorating the surroundings.
"tak tak... srak" (what is this? Why is there a bracelet all of a sudden) said Rocky unconsciously.
"I don't know... but it looks like a magic item... just ask the master" Lylah replied directly.
Rocky nodded and tried to remove the bracelet on his arm but in vain, the bracelet immediately shrank and made it difficult to remove, Rocky did not want to damage the bracelet on his hand and ignored the bracelet.
Rocky stood up while looking around, "tak tak... srak" (ok, now we have to quickly find a way out of this place)
"What a rush, the master is still a long time coming" said Lylah, who was still looking at the bracelet in her hand which she thought was beautiful.
"tak tak... srak" (even so we can't stay here forever... I don't mind but you can get hungry and thirsty, if you can eat flowers, stones and wood that's fine), replied Rocky with a little joke.
"hahahaha... very funny, how can anyone eat stone and wood?" replied Lylah to Rocky's joke.
At this moment both of them immediately froze, they slowly looked at each other. Their eyes seemed to want to confirm that there was something strange about the appearance of the strange bracelet.
"srak... tak, tak... srak" (do you understand?), Rocky said to make sure.
Lylah was still staring, Rocky shook his head slowly and started rubbing his head because he felt stupid and felt that it was a side effect of the fight just now, "no, no... jack, crak" (huh... stupid, I guess it's just a coincidence).
"I don't think so Rocky" Lylah said suddenly.
"tak tak... srak" (do you understand?) asked Rocky to which Lylah nodded slowly a moment later.
After standing still for a few moments, a big smile instantly appeared on Lylah's face. She immediately jumped up to grab and hug Rocky.
Like a child who got a new and irreplaceable toy she looked up and said loudly, "Finally! Hahahaha! Rocky can finally talk! Hooray!"
Seeing the little boy's excitement while hugging him, Rocky immediately lifted Lylah's body and held her, "don't be too happy, you won't be able to sleep"
Although Rocky's mouth still makes sounds in the form of friction and impact of rocks, Lylah can now understand what Rocky wants to say. Maybe it's more like telepathy than communication, of course it's not realized by both of them.
The two of them are now talking at length about each other, although actually Rocky is the one who talks the most because he has been unable to understand his words. besides that he also said that he already considered Lylah as his sister.
Even so he did not explicitly say that he was from another world, this was because his condition was too unique. How could it not be? Rocky is currently just a soul in a golem, no matter how you look at it he can't be considered a living being. (Yes, just imagine if you can say that a robot is a living being?)
So that's why Rocky said that he had memories of being human or when he was human, on the other hand Lylah immediately thought hard about this explanation.
But as a child, she completely accepted Rocky's words and thought that he was a genius for accidentally creating a golem with a human soul.
Rocky was not afraid when he said this because small children tend to forget after a while, and did not forbid Lylah to tell Rocky's identity to others because small children tend to do something that is forbidden. But just in case he tricked Lylah with a game to keep the secret and was immediately approved by her.
"ok! Now you are Lylah's brother! So please help hehehe" he said cheerfully, but his eyes were immediately attracted by the object Rocky was wearing and a ball he was holding, "but... what is this?"
Rocky knew what Lylah was asking, he immediately gave the glowing ball in his hand, "I don't know what it is, but it looks like it's the previous earth golem... just keep it might be useful in the future"
"this... isn't it" Lylah observed the glowing ball in his hand, when his hand held the ball it could be felt that it turned out to be like a strand or coil of tendrils that merged into a ball. And as a witch who is sensitive to mana Lylah can certainly feel the solid mana contained in it, but unlike the usual mana that always flows like water the name of the dai in the ball feels solid and solid.
And because she didn't know anything about it she immediately put it under her cloak, "you're right, let's keep it"
"then why are you looking as if you understand something?" she replied, "just to look cool heheehe...."
Grabbing the head of the earth golem that happened to be nearby, she lifted it up and flicked the forehead of the earth golem head and immediately made it explode into small fragments.
Seeing what happened just now Lylah unconsciously covered her forehead, she froze for a moment and swallowed her saliva. With cold sweat pouring out, she slowly approached Rocky and held the hand that was used to flick the earth golem's head just now.
"hehehe... well, sorry... you're the best... hheheehe"
Rocky shook his head and began to explain that this was probably a magic weapon or artifact that could adjust to its user, or that's as far as Rocky knew.
The conversation was also used to find out more about what features the pair of gloves and shoes Rocky was now wearing could do, and they found out that the four items could not be removed, but fortunately Rocky could make them to show some parts of his hands or feet such as fingers, palms or others.
Furthermore, in addition to providing protection these gloves can also make Rocky's hands shaped like human hands, but unfortunately when Rocky opens in several locations that cover the gloves and iron shoes, the areas that are not covered will form as before. That is in the form of an uneven surface of the stone arrangement.
