>>6158703Seeing six golems begin rifling through the rubble for corpses as they spread across the area following some kind of search protocol. Deciding he doesn’t want to be involved with whatever they do to the corpses William waits for golems to turn their backs toward him as two others carry a pile of bodies toward the insides of the school as two other golems appear to push the rubble toward the walls as mending spells coil around their arms. Slowly pulling bricks toward the wall for repairs as they hold their hands outstretched fully focusing on their job. With a deep breath William pushes himself off the ground as rocks crackle against marble as his heel turns his entire body toward the treeline. Just a quick run to get him out of Astra and back into the safety of the outside world as he begins to push his legs forward only to hear a pop behind him.
Knowing an unnatural sound is coming from behind him he clenches his fist as his left hand reaches for his cape to cast shield as a sharp tingling arrow stabs into his shoulder blade. Cold metal slicing deep into his shoulder as a harsh warmth blooms inside his flesh as the sharp pain subsides. Knocking him into the ground as he rolls with the force as dirt and dust slams into his face as skin burns from the friction. Rolling along his side as William gets back up with a weight on his back to face the golem face on as its rust colored body and glowing orange eyes burn with magic. Already retracting its extended arm that closes up an opening as its other arm slides a large sword into its hand as it prepares to chase him down. Beforing giving a quick glance to his back to see the arrow’s shaft still vibrating and stuck in his shoulder as he wonders why he got healed. With the other golems ignoring or not noticing the fight as tense seconds stretch out the silence before it announces its intentions.
>-4HP from arrow hit and gained 8 HP back“Ani-error-Coven mage further punishment will be issued due to resistance. Comply now and only two limbs will be broken.”
Finishing off its statement the iron golem brings its sword up in a defensive posture as it holds its action as it brings its hand to the side of its face before quelching it into a fist as it watches William.
