Chapter 2419 Shocking Anatomy
It had not wasted even a moment before it took back its hammer and attacked me with three times more power than before.
CLANG CLANG CLANG
I moved my sword and defended against the attack, but that was just the beginning. As it attacked again and then again with greater strength.
I am fighting completely defensive; I want to investigate before taking any concrete action against it, and being defensive is the best strategy for that. It would keep it engaged without activating any serious functions inside it.
I know very little about flesh golems; some of the things I know is that even weak ones could bring out ma.s.sive distractions.
Many golems have self-destruction functions, which they activate if they have reached the end of a rope. Flesh golems might also do the same; after all, it is a golem.
So, I have to be very careful in fighting against it.

It continued its attacks, each one being more powerful than before. It is not just the physical attacks that are getting stronger but also the energy attacks.
This energy is extremly powerful, and if it had gone inside me, then my condition would also become like those two Grandmasters who had faced these flesh golems before me.
Hun!
As I fought with it, my strings moved toward it, and soon they pierced through its body, but as they pa.s.sed through a centimeter of skin. The strings have come across a very powerful barrier of necrotic energy.
It is not just the necrotic energy but also the soul energy on top of it. I was quite surprised seeing the soul energy but soon remembered that dead things could also utilize it as long as they have an artificial soul core made from soul crystals.
This protective layer had stumped me but will not stop me; ever since my failure with Golden Fire Werewolf, whose art has made my strings useless for the first time, I have been searching for ways to fix it.
I have been able to develop something quite remarkable, which would not be possible without the colossal amount of data I am collecting throughout the month. This flesh golem is perfect for testing whether it would work or not.
The runes appeared on my invisible strings, and the formation activated. As it did, alone string moved toward the defensive layer of the necrotic energy and soul energy; one is for detecting, and the other is for destroying.
Finally, the lone string touched the soul layer, while at the same time, I kept my finger on the switch of all bost, including the fourth boost.
If it detected my string and I sensed the danger, I would immediately activate all my boosts and even burn my blood. I do not want to take the risk with the unknown; the little information I have about them is enough for me to know dangerous these things are.
A second pa.s.sed, and then another and then another, but the soul sense did not discover my strings.
Seeing that, a smile couldn"t help but appear on my face, and I began to move the string forward without wasting any time. Five seconds later, the string breached through the soul energy layer and approached the layer of extremly thick necrotic energy.
For this, my string did not stop; the most dangerous was a soul string. The thick necrotic layer is just a powerful energy layer, and my string just needs to be powerful enough to bear it.
My string is powerful without a doubt, and for extra measures, I have even activated the protective layer.
The string touched the powerful necrotic energy layer, and I have found it more powerful than I had initially expected, but my string is powerful enough that it is breached through it without getting damaged.
"f.u.c.k!"
I shouted out loud in shock as I defended against another attack of the flesh golem. It was not the golem that had made me curse out loud but the thing I saw inside when my string had finally pushed inside the flesh golem.
It is unlike anything I have seen before; the string had released a tiny bit of soul sense inside that is mixed with heavy rule-bending power, which gave me a basic look of what is inside the flesh golem, and it had thoroughly shocked me.
I see a complicated mixture of organic and inorganic things; artifacts merged with the flesh, working together seamlessly.
I have also noticed the state of the artifacts merged with the flesh; it is not great. The time had taken a toll on these artifacts, and it had shocked me even.
If the golem has such ma.s.sive power despite the state of these artifacts; I wonder what kind of power these golems had when they were at their peak; just thought of it couldn"t help but shake me to the core.
I controlled my emotions and operated the string even more carefully; outside the layers, the other strings began to merge with the lone strings, and inside, the lone string began to separate itself and spread inside the flesh golems.
As the strings spread inside the body of the golem, I begin to get a clearer and clearer look at its anatomy, and it is shocking.
Soon, the strings reached the most important area of the flesh golem. The place where its cores are located.
Its core is in a place where this being"s heart should be, the same position as humans. Inside the fleshy metal heart, there is a grey metallic disc, densely carved with the runes that I did not recognize, and above it, two cores are chained to runes of the metallic grey disc.
The big one is a dark grey core which is obviously a necrotic core of this flesh golem, and besides, it is a tiny pure white cube. Which, if I am not wrong, is a soul core containing the pure soul energy; just seeing that disk and the cores, my eyes couldn"t help but light up in greed.
