With quick thinking, you tighten your grip on the bandage in your hand, hold your breath, and kneel over the side to offer your hand down to the mummy that hangs by literal threads over the boiling acid. He starts to climb his own cloth back up, before he grabs your hand shakily and pulls himself all the way back up with your assistance. He breathes heavily, clearly a little off-put by how close he was to being melted, before glancing up to you with a grin.
"You've got a heart of gold. Not many people would save their own opponent, you know. What if I knocked you off, right here and now?" He asks, before you point down to your leg. Immediately after you helped him up, while he was still recovering, you'd actually subtly tied one of his bandages to it - so that if he knocked you down, you could pull him down with you or at least hopefully use him to springboard back up. Seeing this, he gives a full-bodied laugh that seems quite genuine, devoid of the malevolence of earlier. "Perhaps the heart of a King, even. To offer the carrot in one hand but have a switch in reserve. Very well...I shall forfeit this match to you, challenger! Good luck with the next opponent...you'll surely need it." He says, patting you on the back with his huge hand.
Baba directs you back out of the arena after that, fuming visibly and muttering something about repair costs under her breath, but she doesn't seem to want to talk directly to you right now. Instead, she leads you over to one of the pyramids, to which she points at it and says "This is getting old, so let's just wrap this up with my next fighter. All of your cheap tricks and fancy techniques won't so much as scratch this next one! Heed my call, o' Invincible Golem!" She cries out, and the pyramid itself seems to shift in shape before stranding up in a humanoid form...wait, was Golem seriously there the whole time? He's huge!
"A golem! They're pretty resistant to Lightning, Honta! And physically they're unmatched!" Azalea warns you, causing you to grimace in expectation of this next fight. If you can't rely on beating it with raw strength, and if your various lightning techniques won't do much, then how CAN you beat it...? You step up into its arena, feeling as small as an ant in comparison, looking up at it from its shadow.
>You'd just have to try to break it anyway. The power in your body shouldn't be underestimated!
>The arena is actually bound to be a lot less tough than it is. You might be able to go for a ring-out by damaging the right parts, but Baba would DEFINITELY get mad about that.
>Is it tough enough to withstand its own blows? It's physically very risky, but maybe you can trick it into hurting itself if you get close enough and prioritize dodging.
