They had already sent a fast messenger over to the Bultom City to call over stronger B-ranked adventurers to take on the creature.
Even so, until those adventurers arrived, the town's defence forces had to hold out against the monster alone.
That's where their mistake was; fighting to hold it off and not to defeat it.
A drawn-out battle would be the most unwise decision right now as since the flesh golem was only just a bit over an hour old, it hadn't developed much in the way of intelligence.
To put it bluntly, the creature was still stupid and had zero ideas on how to use the innate power it has to its full potential.
However, the longer it existed, it would eventually begin to learn and the cutscene from the game where the flesh golem spawned thousands of zombies just by waving its arms would come to pass.
Nevertheless, the people of the town could not be blamed for their decision as they were unaware of the fact that the golem was just a bit over an hour old and had no idea how to use the enormous amount of energy that they were sensing for anything other than basic body strengthening.
Of course, it was still very much capable of wiping out the town without having to use anything else as the sheer amount of destruction the creature with a strength stat of 'B' could cause just by punching the ground randomly was enough to send more than a few blocks tumbling down.
As the giant creature made its way towards the town, the defence force instantly took action, beginning with a barrage of magic spells of various attributes that rained down on the flesh golem.
"Guooooo!"
It let out a low roar and crossed its arms in an 'X' in front of its chest, while the plethora of spells fell and hit several parts of its body, burning off a few of the corpses it was made of and even large amounts of its flesh.
Seeing this, the town lord had the thought that they might just be able to take the monster out using magic alone, however, that thought fled his mind in the next moment when he saw the monster's rotten flesh, bubble up and slowly begin to regenerate.
p
They didn't need to ask the reason why the creature had suddenly turned around, as an array of dozens of golden energy-constructed swords suddenly appeared in the sky all around the monster's head.
"KUOOOOOO?!"
Letting out another strange sound, the creature swung its large arms as if to try and swat the blades out of the sky, however, they all simultaneously shot forward faster than the flesh golem's arms could move and stabbed into its head before exploding.
"GRUOOO!!!!!!!"
The flesh golem roared out in what was most likely rage as the explosions burned off huge chunks of flesh from its head, making its appearance even more grotesque.
Nevertheless, the creature's arm didn't stop moving as it swung it in the air as if still trying to swat something out of the sky.
It was then that those watching realised that its intention was never to swat out the blades, but to swat out the humanoid figure floating in the air who most likely created said blades.
Just when they thought that the person would get hit, they suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside the golem's head, before clenching their fist and punching it.
**BOOM!
Golden lightning and flames flashed in the sky as the creature's neck twisted at an odd angle, with its huge frame staggering backwards and nearly falling to the ground.
The ground trembled both from the shockwaves of that punch and the steps of the giant flesh golem, with the figure who punched it pulling back its arm and stretching it.
"Remember, Pride.
We're putting on a show."
[You don't have to tell me multiple times.
And just so you know, I'm never doing this again.]
"Who knows about that?"
Naturally, this 'floating' figure was the young hero Evan, who was currently conversing with his contracted demon after punching the head of the flesh golem with his fracture skill.
He looked towards the town's defence force who didn't just sit and watch, taking advantage of the golem's stunned state to launch another barrage of magic at it, hitting it in various parts of its body and burning off its flesh.
However, the flesh bubbled up once again as the creature began regenerating from its wounds, bringing a light frown to Evan's face as he contacted Kayla.
"Mind telling Liz to ready that enchantment, will ya?"
[On it.]
After receiving affirmation from the spirit, he snapped his fingers and spoke.
"Now then, let the show begin."
Multiple large great swords of flames and lightning appeared behind him with the boy waving his arms and gesturing for them to launch forward.
"GUOOOOO!"
His target let out its signature roar and threw out a punch forward with its left fist, with the black haze surrounding its body flaring slightly as a black shockwave was released from its fist, flying through the air and colliding with some of the swords of flames.
**BOOOM!!!
There was an explosion upon collision, which spread out and caused the other energy weapons to explode into a cloud of smoke and flames in the air.
Right after doing that, the creature pulled its arm backwards and looked at its clenched fist while tilting its head to the side, as if confused at how it suddenly released a shockwave.
It punched forward again, but was unable to recreate the same effect. It roared seemingly in anger as it 'ran' towards Evan and punched at him with its left fist again, only for the young hero to disappear and reappear in a spot closer to the city walls while the golem punched empty air.
Evan pulled out the Unforged and coated it in his golden aura, before swinging it wildly and sending a few dozen aura slashes towards the monster who rose its left arm to block.
'Kayla, you know the drill.'
He then kicked off the foothold and shot towards the creature with his left arm glowing as a rose of flames bloomed on the creature's left arm a second before Evan's lightning punch landed.
**BOOM!!!
There was an explosion, with blobs of rotten flesh and a few corpses falling off its left forearm and scattering all around.
When the dust cleared, it could be seen that the golem's arm had now lost a considerable amount of mass, and the black haze around its body reduced a bit as the flesh began bubbling up again.
As for Evan, he disappeared and reappeared on the ground, right next to the town's walls while staring at the huge monster's body.
While some had their attention on Evan who just pulled another disappearing act, some other adventurers who were about to launch more magic, noticed that there was someone on the right side of the golem's body.
"I feel like an animal in a zoo."
