The Ultra Golems went guns blazing, killing all the guards in the room.
Suddenly, four genetically-modified 3-meters tall humans came stomping at them. Their muscles were abnormally big, and their skin looked like they were made out of steel.
One of the superhumans punched an Ultra Golem in the chest, denting it, and pushed the golem a few steps back.
"Amazing." Aldred's eyes lit up. Whoever engineered these humans must be a super genius scientist. He could tell that these humans did not have life force like ordinary warriors, but simply ordinary humans that were modified from birth.
If whoever created them could produce Gold Rank superhumans… it would be so much scarier than his golem army or undead army.
The Ultra Golems traded blows with the superhumans for hours. Throughout the fight, the superhumans didn't even feel any exhaustion, in fact, the superhumans became faster as the battle progressed.
The Ultra Golems were troubled by that, but their fighting style changed as well, adapting to the enemies.
They were fairly matched, but Aldred did not think this was fair at all. The golems were created out of high-grade materials, and their whole body was a weapon of itself.
To think that they matched against four superhumans with bare hands was unacceptable.
"Ultra Golems, use your full power," Aldred gave the order.
Immediately, all the mana crystals stored within their body were drained, and the golems shone with radiant blue light.
This was their skill: Ultra Power. They consumed all the mana crystals within their body at once to produce momentary explosive power.
Because they were fighting in long range, the golems directed all of that energy to their fist and punched through their enemy.
The four superhumans crashed against the wall. Two of them were killed immediately while the other two barely hung for their life.
Swords plunged into their chests, and they died within seconds.
The Ultra Golems turned around to look at the 8-meters-tall spike ball. Approaching it, they cut the ball open, revealing a floating smooth metal ball.
The surface of the ball moved like it was a group of snakes hugging each other and slithering around.
The ball shattered and engulfed the golems.
"Fuck! Second Battalion, enter the cave now!" Aldred shouted.
As the Second Battalion of the golem army entered the cave, the slithering metal snakes integrated themselves with the Ultra Golems as wings.
Aldred could not believe what he just saw. On the back of the Ultra Golems was now a pair of steel, spiky wings. The ones that he usually saw in the Gundam cartoon.
The wings shot wind elemental out, making the golems float, and then they flew around the room with supersonic speed.
"Attention intruders, leave this place at once or you will be eliminated. This is your final warning!!!"
Aldred frowned, trying to locate where that voice came from but failed.
"I will count to three. Leave, or I will open the gate."
Aldred looked at the giant gate on the side of the room. The gate was around 25 meters in height and width and was at least 5 meters thick.
"One!"
The Ultra Golems entered a battle stance, and they began to charge their weapons with mana.
"Two!"
The mana crystals within their body began to replenish, absorbing Aldred's mana while they were kilometers away using intricate magic.
"Three!"
The gate roared as it slowly opened. Then, a loud screeching scream came from inside, blowing powerful wind that pushed the four Ultra Golems dozens of meters back.
Stella widened her eyes, lips trembling. "That's Adamantite Rank being!"
Dobbs widened his eyes. "I couldn't believe this. I have heard stories, but I didn't think I would see one."
The aura of that powerful being came from within a dark chamber. Aldred activated his godly eyes and peered through the darkness.
He noticed something weird. "The Adamantite Rank being… it's chained and wounded."
That gave Dobbs and Stella an even greater shock. An Adamantite Rank entity was regarded as heroes in mythical stories. They have always been depicted as winners that defeat everything in their path with ease.
No one would expect them to be chained in this place.
The Ultra Golem threw an orb inside the chamber, and it shone the whole room, revealing a 50-meter-tall terrifying Xenorph, chained to the floor.
The Ultra Golems approached, but Aldred prevented them from getting too close.
"What a magnificent beast." Aldred's eyes twinkled.
Stella was amazed beyond comprehension. "I never see anything like it."
"This is truly a one-time experience. I have no regrets about joining this venture now. Even if I die now, my life is fulfilled!" Dobbs shouted as he stared at the creature.
The creature was the stuff of a nightmare with six limbs. The front limbs were a pair of scythe arms, the middle was a pair of sharp claws, and the last pair of limbs were strong legs made for jumping and stomping on its target.
Not only was it huge and exuded a powerful terrifying aura, but it also looked hideous.
But the Ultra Golems had no fear and approached it at a safe distance.
Aldred frowned. "Grant Vision!"
His eyes glowed in blue, and suddenly, the red light on the Ultra Golems' eyes turned blue as well.
They looked at the upper left corner and noticed a man was climbing the wall with an invisibility cloak.
One of the Ultra Golems spread its wings and released one of the spikes into the air. It arced towards the man and stabbed him from the back before bringing him in front of the golem.
The man wore glasses and a white lab coat. He was fairly young, around the age of 28 years old.
"Who are you? What is this place?" Aldred's voice came from the golem.
The man huffed and puffed, barely able to breathe. He then took a syringe from his pocket and stabbed his thigh.
The wound instantly regenerated, and the man glanced at the golem, seemingly without fear but ridicule.
"Whoever you are, the master of these filthy objects, leave this place and forget everything you see."
The Ultra Golem swung its sword, cutting the man's right arm.
The man gritted his teeth in pain, but he did not scream. In fact, he even glared at the golem in anger.
"Answer the question, or it will be your head next time," Aldred replied.
"Don't waste your breath, heretic. Kill me if your daemon master wishes so."
"Heretic? Are you from Montcresia? This is impossible. They are not a nation of science."
"So you are a native of this primitive world. I apologize for the misunderstanding, native. This is a place of secrecy and of the utmost importance for the imperium. Leave, and the emperor will send his angels for you in times of need."
Aldred, Stella, and Dobbs looked at each other in confusion. None of them understood what this man in a lab coat said.
"You are right when you say I don't have to waste my breath. This is the place where you die."
The Ultra Golem swung once again.
The man grabbed a small orb out of his pocket, crushed it, and the space around him bent before it shattered into a portal that led into a place full of flames, demons, and the screams of the tortured.
The man was sucked inside, and the portal vanished.
