Clayton, thinking he had finally found the right method to deal with the golem, didn't rush in. Instead, he kept a close eye on the creature, wondering whether his plan would truly work.
But after a while, he found no meaningful clues and decided not to overthink it. The situation had reached a point where hesitation would be pointless. He turned to his familiars and gave the order.
"Pride, Dingo, Gemma, take your attack positions!"
The skeletal familiars immediately moved into formation, surrounding the golem, while Dingo and Gemma fell back, positioning themselves closer to Clayton.
Once everyone was in place, he gave the signal.
"Now!"
One of the skeletons began chanting, conjuring a wave of water that surged forward and slammed into the golem. The massive, rigid creature was pushed off balance and toppled to the ground.
Although it didn't suffer any critical damage, Clayton wasn't disappointed—that hadn't been the goal of the first strike.
