Inside it, energy flowed slowly like liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Fairies showed similar changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only their core gems were different colors—light gold, pale green, some with a cold white sheen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one kept absorbing the surrounding power as it formed, pushing the Fairies' auras higher and higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's eyes lit up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel it clearly—every Fairy's Tier and strength were climbing. Feylora's rise was the most obvious of all. In a blink, her aura jumped straight to the peak of 32 Tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The improvement was practically visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could fully digest the surprise, an odd sound came from a wall not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, it was only fine cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then those cracks spread at speed, webbing across the entire wall. In the next instant, with a thunderous boom, the whole section collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dust and broken stone rolled outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from behind that fallen shadow, a huge figure stepped out, slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster was crystalline from head to toe, like it had been carved entirely out of diamond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each step made the ground tremble faintly. More shocking was the power flowing inside it—light refracting through its crystal structure until its entire body carried a violently unstable sense of danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stopped and looked down at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you? Why have you trespassed here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, a domineering energy wave spread from it, shaking the already-cracked walls into chunks of rubble again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as more wall sections continued to cave in, more figures emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive number of Diamond Golems filed out from behind the collapse. Each one was just like the first—crystal bodies, dense energy running inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they stood together, the pressure in the underground space rose sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ethan's chest tightened faintly at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly hadn't expected that a place like this would be hiding an army of this scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what he cared about even more was the crystal structure inside them—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power flowing there felt like a piece of this world's very origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that thought formed, Ethan moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed his breathing steady. Then his power burst outward, and he became a streak of white thunderlight, shooting straight at the Diamond Golem in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the distance closed, his right arm sank. Every last bit of power poured into his fist, and he smashed it into the thing's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no restraint in that punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White lightning was driven to the extreme. Thunder flared up his arm. When his knuckles landed, a shrill electric screech exploded first—then the heavy impact finally pressed fully into that crystal body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the result still made Ethan's eyes shift slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blow like that hadn't shattered the Diamond Golem outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All it did was blast off a single chunk of crystal from its shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in the very next moment, Ethan's attention was seized completely by that fallen shard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second it hit his hand, the dense energy inside it reacted like it had been triggered, flooding through his palm and ramming into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation was unmistakable—like gripping an energy core compressed to the absolute limit, its power so abundant it felt endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light flared in Ethan's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the system immediately and scanned the Diamond Golems in front of him. Data layered into view almost at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What came back made his heart jolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies looked unbelievably hard, yet the system's analysis was clear—their overall structure was relatively fragile, while the power stored inside them was so dense it was absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning, as long as they could kill them all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy extracted from these things would be enough to feed everyone in Emerald Castle for a long, long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he saw that, the last trace of caution in Ethan vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Diamond Golems weren't \"unmanageable\" monsters. On the contrary, they were basically a herd of mobile energy vaults wrapped in thick crystal armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smash them. Dig out the crystals and cores inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The payoff from this dive into the depths would be staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a hand at once and ordered everyone to charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the command dropped, the Diamond Golems moved too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one in front let out a low, shrieking roar, and the entire underground space trembled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then power erupted across its whole body. The blood-red gemstone in its forehead flared bright, and a deep, piercing beam shot straight out, driving forward in a dead line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That beam carried terrifying momentum. Along its path, it pressed the air into a clearly warped track, and the reflections off the crystals in the walls and ground were dyed a brutal crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Ethan truly saw the beam, his expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its \"strength\" wasn't pure killing power. More precisely, it felt like raw energy compressed and shoved outward—massive in volume, yet lacking the kind of instant, all-rending destructive edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That judgment flashed through Ethan's mind for only a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the spatial power inside him spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't block it head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cut in—precise to the point of cruelty. Spatial ripples unfolded around the beam, locking its trajectory first, then peeling the energy inside it away layer by layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight was eerie—like Ethan had reached out and grabbed hold of that enormous pillar of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then started to eat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power inside the beam was rapidly broken down, turned into thinner and thinner streams that surged up Ethan's palm and arm, flooding into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deep red energy that had been pressing down with intimidation thinned in a blink—spreading, shredding—until the entire beam was stripped hollow, completely absorbed into Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That full-body saturation made heat bloom in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excitement flashed hard in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, savage power erupted off him in full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped like a bolt of thunder, slamming down above the lead Diamond Golem and driving a hand into it—pinning that massive body to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half the Diamond Golem's body was pressed down into the ground. Before it could even fight its way up, Ethan's energy had already finished gathering again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White lightning coiled around his arm and fist, crackling in violent bursts. Then he smashed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strike landed square on its shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At contact, blinding electric light detonated first—then the heavy impact forced its way in completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teeth-grinding crack split the air. The shoulder structure broke, and the entire arm was torn off by brute force, flying away in a spray of crystal shards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aa—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Diamond Golem let out a shriek so distorted it barely sounded like something living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that blow, dense cracks began crawling across its body surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spread from the shoulder in an instant, racing toward its chest, its waist, its legs—its entire massive crystal frame giving off the tiny, relentless sounds that came right before a full collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>",1283,"2026-06-05T15:16:00.942Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d52faa78ddbe8e9913883a7254339da632c5cbf025d20a83a13ef1b25f8cc47","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-1046","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-1044",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
