Novel Full Chapter 64 - You Have To Be Champions!
The knights finally reached the majestic temple and saw how Kyros opened the door by some strange password.
Stoph journeyed together with Kyros and the Iron Golems and a few Rock Golems, and they were all dragging several Lizards each. Two were dragged, and one more was being carried on the shoulder.
"Alright. Bring it all up to the Temple. First things first, we need to recover and restore our energy. And this will be our chance to test just how much experience we can get and how much energy will be restored for the Golems." Kyros explained.
"We can discuss more of our future plans after this. Seeing is believing. You guys need to experience just what the Temple can do. Remember, this goes against Fate. The moment you receive its blessings, the cure of Fate will affect you." Kyros warned as he spoke to the rest of the Knights.
The group walked up and began to put down the lizards. The dead body of Zid Blood Blade was still on the temple grounds.
"That's the Blood Blade member you talked about?" Branze asked.
"Yes, Father. I made Avary kill him, and knowing that the Prime Bonder will see the last moments of his life, I made Avary declare that he is serving the killer of my Master."
"Cracky Batcheeks, the Naked Offender. What a strange name." Branze shook his head.
"That's correct. I also made it look like that the Knights of Perragrim were involved so in sowing discord and making the Blood Blade focus their efforts in killing that mysterious group."
"I have never heard of them. But if they have managed to pressure your family to desperation while staying in the shadows, then they must be formidable." Branze nodded.
"Alright. Everyone inside. I'll bring out the rest that I took." Kyros then used the Storage Space of the Temple, and several other monsters appear out of thin air.
After the battle, Kyros had already taken and threw many lizards into the temple space just in case the Golems couldn't make the trip to deliver the monsters.
The Char Black Lizard Prince was among the spoils that Kyros sent here.
Man-Gators, Lizardmen, and several Char Vermilion Lizards appeared, and the entire temple was actually full of dead bodies. Even the broken-down body of Mardock appeared.
"Is it alright to desecrate the temple like this?" Branze asked.
"It's alright. The temple doesn't waste single blood. Alright, Stoph. Let's hope that it can pay back what you wasted in that battle." Kyros smiled.
[Quest Items detected:
Char Vermillion Lizard (59/80)
Swamp Man-Gator (2/10)
Stonic Creatures (50/50)
Lizard Captain
Lizardmen (8/50)
Assimilate to the temple and disperse experience points?]
Kyros looked at the stats and noticed that Stonic Creatures became 50/50 after putting the body of Mardock. The case was also similar as the number of Lizards that Kyros brought out exceeded the calculation amount.
"As expected, Mardock is worth that much. The Char Black Lizard Prince and Char Black Lizards are also added despite being of another race. So they are an evolution of the Char Vermillion Lizard Race!" Kyros smiled.
"Either they are an evolution or are mutations.
"Well, here goes nothing. After this, I really have to urge Father to dissolve our nobility..."
Kyros selected yes.
[Stonic Allies Detected. Temple Level Bestowing cap breached.Cannot perform Golem Hardening. Disperse all energy to restore Golem Life Source?]
Kyros selected yes again.
[The following monsters have breached the Golem Life Source:
- Iron Golem
- Jewel Golem
Perform Golem Life Source Restore operation anyway?]
Kyros expected that the Temple wouldn't allow him to restore all of the Golem's life source fully. Otherwise, it would have been a cheat for Kyros as he could easily exploit it. Kyros selected yes and hoped for the best.
A bright light flashed.

Kyros glanced at his arm to find it fully healed. After confining that all his wounds of the vampires were healed.
Kyros took a quick scan at the results.
"You can use splash?" Kyros asked Calaminus as he found the odd report.
"Ugh! My own system and eccentric notes are used against me! Its other name is a Soul Tap. With my current soul, I can move around and make a light physical tap. If I do that over water, it will splash."
"How can that be of any use?" Kyros frowned.
"You're pretty smart. You figure it out. But, if I do that, nothing happens." Calaminus laughed.
The Knights were amazed and marveled at the changes. They felt their power surge and leveled up.
"Err... Where am I?"
"Brother!" Branze called out to Aron.
The other knights also rejoiced when the others began to wake up.
Stoph's expression was strange. His expression looked at Kyros as if he would worship the man.
"Cornerstone! You are indeed the salvation of the Golems!" Stoph declared.
Kyros sighed.
"I only recovered 10% of your entire Life Source. Was that enough to help you?"
"More than enough! I expended only nearly 1% of my powers, and that boost has aided me!"
"I can't do it on multiple times. There is a limit on how much I can do. For you, I need another three years before I can do that again to you. The same with the Rocks and Iron Golems. The restoration of energy they have now is the maximum of what I can do. And it takes months to years until I can do it again. But if you send your two sleeping Jeweled Golems with more monsters, we should be able to recover about 10%. But I don't know how much the remaining monsters can heal. This batch contained a Lizard Captain and a Black Lizard Prince. And since that Black Lizard Prince can fire an unlimited amount of dark bolts, their energy is generally richer than the rest."
"Then we will bring all Black Lizards here to awaken them! It's a pity Mardock is too weak to see this." Stoph laughed.
Kyros raised his hands and used the True Entropy Soul Core.
A strange green energy gathered, and a green-soiled creature stood.
"...Mardock?" Stoph was amazed.
"My soul... It has grown stronger." Mardock couldn't believe it.
"I'll think of a way how to increase the Souls of the other Jeweled Golems," Kyros explained to Stoph.
"With Mardock's core, I realized that what all Jeweled Golems have is a Soul Core. That Gigantes Earth Core ought to be a Gigantes Earth Soul Core. In any case, I might be able to find a way to strengthen the souls to the point that your energy will continuously increase. Return to Petra and explain the arrangements. This temple cannot harden any golems above Rock Golems. I'm not sure with Clay, but use the City to increase the Golem Hardening of your Golems in any case. And this should be a place to restore the Life Source of the Golems. And you also have to consider refilling the energy of the Gigantes Earth Soul Core." Kyros explained.
"I understand, Cornerstone." Stoph gave a respectful bow, as did the rest.
"I have more to discuss with my family. I will contact Petra when necessary. Unless needed, don't let him call me as I believe it uses the energy of the Gigantes Earth Soul Core." Kyros instructed.
"As you order, Cornerstone!" Stoph bowed.
As the golems moved, Kyros turned towards his notification screen and minimized the option to claim the rewards.
"Being conservative, are we?" Calaminus laughed.
"I have to keep the rewards to the bare minimum. If I claim it, it will cause Fate's works to act." Kyros answered and moved towards the Knights who were celebrating.
"I hope you now see the power here." Kyros laughed.
"Kyros!" Aron exclaimed as he saw him. With his brother bombarding him with questions, he didn't have the chance to search for Kyros.
"We'll talk later, Uncle. Father, I hope you can consider my proposal."
"I think I understand now. But giving up our nobility means giving up so much of our family."
"Fate is working to kill us, father. And right now, all of our family has this curse. So we have to cut off whatever advantages we have and grow stronger. If you and Uncle grow strong enough, we can demand our nobility back faster!"
"You want us to be fully-fledged Paladins?" Branze asked.
"No. I want you not just to be Paladins. But through your might and power, be something that exceeds a Paladin, even if your class is just a Paladin! You and Uncle... You have to be Champions!"
