Chapter 188: Golem done and dusted
Agatha held a small stone with eyes that radiated a unique and mystical glow. When she concluded her chants, she dropped the stone onto the forest floor.
The moment it made contact with the earth, it appeared to trigger a profound transformation.
The ground began to tremble as if responding to an unspoken command, and from the very spot where the stone lay, the earth began to rise, forming a towering figure.
Headmaster Ashfield and Isadora, still poised with their wands, sensed an imminent shift in the environment.
It was clear that something extraordinary was unfolding before their eyes.
Ashfield\'s experience and knowledge allowed him to recognize the significance of the stone Agatha had used—it was a core, and seeing that she threw it on the ground, he could tell it was a golem.
As the ground continued to rise, it took on the shape of a massive figure. With each passing moment, the form of a golem took shape. However, this golem was unlike any they had seen before.
Rather than the stocky and rugged appearance typical of such creations, this golem had a slim and more humanoid form. It resembled a colossal man, its features carved from the very earth itself.
The golem, fully formed, focused its gaze on Ashfield and Isadora.
The weight of its presence was palpable, and it moved with a deliberate and steady gait towards the two of them.
The ground shook with its every step, and the forest echoed with a sense of impending confrontation.
"A golem? This night can\'t get any better." Isadora chirped, watching the golem move.
Jaegar was fascinated by the shape and size of the golem, its movement was really like that of a human. He was watching it with great interest, forgetting the fact that it was coming to attack them.
Ellamaria, now rejuvenated by Agatha\'s help, joined forces with the formidable golem.
The two beings, one natural and the other a creation of ancient magic closed in on Ashfield and Isadora.

Agatha\'s gaze was now focused on Jaegar, she seemed ready to launch her attacks at him.
As the massive golem and the rejuvenated Ellamaria advanced towards Headmaster Ashfield and Isadora, their sheer presence and relentless approach served as a powerful distraction.
The ground shook beneath with its every step.
Ashfield and Isadora were left with no choice but to focus their magical efforts on the formidable golem and Ellamaria, who fought with a relentless and coordinated strategy.
The golem, a creation of earth and magic, possessed immense strength, and Ellamaria\'s feral determination added to the threat they posed.
As Ashfield and Isadora concentrated on dealing with the combined force of the golem and Ellamaria, their attention was consumed by the battle at hand.
The golem\'s movements were deliberate and calculated, making it a formidable adversary. Its earthbound attacks and impervious exterior demanded Ashfield\'s and Isadora\'s utmost concentration and magical prowess.

Agatha now moved towards Jaegar, who was waiting for her.
Since the time she was here, her gaze never left him, and if he had to guess, she also came for him, and the golem was created to distract them.
"If I ask you who you are, will you tell me?" Jaegar tried, although he was not expecting her to answer.
Agatha smirked, her voice in a low pitch, "Jaegar Gadfraye."
"Sometimes, you just have to die because of someone\'s sins. You have no choice in that matter."
Jaegar\'s face turned serious as he boomed, "I am not a GADFRAYE.
My name is Jaegar AMBROSE."
Agatha frowned but didn\'t dwell on the matter.
The moon hung low in the midnight sky as Agatha, the enigmatic old witch, faced off against Jaegar, now transformed into the formidable Crimson Jaegar. His entire form was a sight to behold, with cracks of searing, crimson energy running through his body like molten lava.
Agatha\'s eyes glowed with an otherworldly light, her wrinkled face reflecting the depths of her magical knowledge and experience. She had witnessed the transformation of Jaegar into this powerful form.
Crimson Jaegar, with his eyes blazing like fiery embers, approached Agatha with an aura of raw, elemental power.
The forest around them seemed to hold its breath as the old trees and mystical energies of the enchanted woods watched the battle unfold.
Agatha raised her withered hand, conjuring arcane symbols in the air.
She drew upon the very essence of the forest, tapping into the primal magic that flowed through the land. A barrier of ethereal, green energy materialized before her, a potent defence that crackled with life.
Crimson Jaegar, undeterred by the formidable barrier, unleashed a surge of power from the cracks running through his body.
The crimson energy surged forth, manifesting as a swirling vortex of power. He directed this power toward the barrier with incredible force, seeking to shatter it.
The impact of Jaegar\'s attack against the barrier sent shockwaves through the forest, causing the trees to tremble and the earth to shake.
The barrier held firm, its green energy rippling with resilience.
Agatha\'s eyes blazed with determination as she channelled her magic to reinforce the defence.
The two adversaries continued their confrontation, locked in a battle of wills and power.
Crimson Jaegar pressed on with relentless fury, his attacks fueled by the molten energy coursing through his veins.
Agatha, with her deep knowledge of magic, countered each assault with precise and intricate spells, her ancient wisdom a formidable asset.
As the battle raged on, the forest itself seemed to respond to the clash of elemental forces.
The enchanted trees whispered in ancient tongues, their branches swaying in rhythm with the conflict. The mystical energies of the woods converged upon the scene, adding an ethereal aspect to the confrontation.
The persistence and amount of magical energy Jaegar possessed were unimaginable, as was his resilience.
Crimson Jaegar, his fiery form undeterred by fatigue, launched another assault against the barrier.
The crimson energy surged forward, creating a storm of power that tore through the air with a thunderous roar.
Agatha maintained the barrier with unwavering focus, her eyes glowing with fierce determination.
She was supporting the golem and fighting against Jaegar at the same time.
On that side, Ashfield and Isadora were busy with the golem and Ellamaria. By the looks of it, their fight will soon be over.
A series of brilliant, emerald-green circles appeared in the air before Agatha.
With a commanding gesture, she directed the runes to converge upon the barrier. The green energy intensified, pushing back against the crimson onslaught.
The forest echoed with the sounds of the battle, and the air was alive with the clash of magic and power.
Crimson Jaegar, his powers seething and his form unyielding, launched one final, desperate attack against the barrier. The crimson energy surged forward, an inferno of power that threatened to consume everything in its path.
Agatha, with her deep knowledge of the forest\'s magic, summoned the very heart of the woods to aid her. The green energy of the barrier pulsed with life, and with a resounding burst of power, it repelled Jaegar\'s assault with incredible force.
The impact of their clash was cataclysmic. The forest itself seemed to respond, as the mystical energies of the land surged and crackled with a surge of power. The very ground quaked, and the ancient trees trembled in awe of the battle.
Crimson Jaegar, despite his unyielding determination, had been thwarted.
The moonlight cast its silvery glow over the tranquil forest, and the midnight sky was a silent witness to the event.
The chaotic battle raged on, with Jaegar\'s alter ego, Crimson Jaegar, growing increasingly uncontrollable.
For the past few minutes, Jaegar has been unknowingly using it.
He relentlessly thrashed against Agatha\'s magical barrier, unleashing violent energy attacks that threatened to disrupt her concentration.
Agatha, momentarily distracted by the ferocity of Jaegar\'s struggle, lost control over the golem.
Ashfield, with his extensive knowledge of magic as an archwizard, realized that the golem posed a significant threat due to its earth-based composition. With a wave of his wand, he summoned the elements, drawing upon the very earth the golem was made of. His incantations flowed like poetry, commanding the elements to follow his will.
The golem, its attention briefly drawn to the fallen Jaegar, turned to face Ashfield as he prepared to cast his most potent spell. As the archwizard chanted, the ground beneath the golem\'s massive feet trembled.
He raised his wand high, focusing his energy on the spell, and then released it with a resounding incantation. The very earth obeyed, and the golem found itself ensnared by creeping vines and roots, rising from the ground to constrict and immobilize its massive form.
