The moment Bobby smashed his hands to the ground, a pentagram almost ten times bigger than the one that brought the balrogs to this world appeared on the ground. Anyone who is standing in it hurriedly got out of the way, including the demons.


And then Rocky's goofy face appeared.


The pentagram serves like an elevator raising Rocky up from his void room. Only that it was an elevator designed for a mountain.


Bobby guessed, and he is probably right, that he is the only one present who can see the gawking surprise and uncertainty in the face of the baby golem.


Everyone else can only see a creature of destruction appearing in their midst. In any other situation, the peoples bulging eyes and open mouths would have been comical, but not today.People gasped as more and more of Rocky's massive bulk emerged from the magical pentagram. And Bobby had to suppress a smile when the Golem attempted to wave uncertainly to the small creatures surrounding him like a dork.


Bobby was behind the Golem and to his left, and so the Golem didn't see him immediately. Amidst the confusing and unfamiliar mass of creatures around him, his lower lip started to quiver. Unfortunately, his solid stony lips and the boulder teeth inside created a rumbling noise instead that further panic the people around him. No one can see the shy and scared look the Golem is showing in his face.


When more and more mass rose up, even Bobby realized that the Golem was even bigger than he remembered. It's been a few days since he last saw the Golem and that means several more weeks for the Golem in the void room.


But what was clear to Bobby was that his Golem was unbelievably healthy. Rocky's blue adamantine body is pulsing with raw power beneath his stony layer, and his big adorable eyes are flashing inner energy that no one can dismiss as ordinary. He knew it was really inappropriate at this place and time, but he could not help himself feeling very proud of his very healthy kid.


When the pentagram finished disgorging the Golem, everyone realized that the giant was, in fact, sitting down with bowed massive legs. Even so, the creature already towered over 45 feet tall. That means the Golem can go as high as 75 feet when he stands up.


For a moment or two, everyone in the compound was silent as everyone stared gawking at the Golem and the Golem stared fearfully back at them with huge stone eyes. Bobby can tell that the Golem is on the verge of crying.


And then several dozen players, including hardened men, started screaming and running in different directions. The Balrogs who are taken aback a moment ago by the new giant threat was now roaring their challenges. They knew that the divine creature that is making their skin itch is very dangerous, but the Balrogs fear very little. They were compelled to follow orders, and the mages order before this giant Golem appeared is to destroy everything in their path until they are ordered to stop. Now they snarled defiantly at the colossus.


The Golem flinched away from the angry red monkeys and all the confusing creatures and his pent-up anxiety for his missing sibling and Papi and the disturbing dream that kept him awake, and suddenly he was on the verge of crying. The very air trembled as the golem suck in his breath.
