The forgotten statue stood at an imposing five meters in height.
It had a humanoid shape, though its body was entirely made from rough, gray stone.
Etched into the center of its chest was a strange heart-shaped symbol, faintly glowing beneath the cracks in its surface.
One of its arms was missing completely, and half of its head had been shattered, leaving jagged stone and exposed core-like veins.
Yet from the remaining half of its head, an eerie aura escaped in streams of light, making it look as though its skull was wreathed in fire.
The statue made no sound, for it could not speak, but the weight of its presence was undeniable.
Every step it took made the ground tremble, sending vibrations through the air as if the city itself was reacting to its movement.
'Level 75 monster,' Sam thought, lowering his stance and steadying his grip on his sword, 'Haha… this thing is no joke.'
A level 75 monster was something entirely different from anything most awakeners had faced.
