Rebirth of the Phoenix_

It had been 3 weeks since aunt Sera left. An entire week of that was Luis adjusting to surviving without her, he hadn't realized how much he relied on her until she left. Additionally it was getting harder and harder day by day to keep up with the baby rock golem antics, they never learned, Luis never got a chance for rest, having to always make sure the baby rock golem is safe. The worst part was setting up camp alone as he would have to set up camp near to where the baby rock golem would move.

However it was not all bad Luis had learnt how to survive by himself just off fruits and fish. "This is finally getting easier, this last week should be the easiest, but if what Maria and Rico said is true whenever they got used to their training it would get harder, that means aunt Sera might just make me suffer more."

2 days later Luis found out that his hypothesis was correct. In the form of an adolescent rock golem a rank 2 low tier creature(1 rank above the sand rats and the baby rock golems). Adolescent rock golems would form when 10 baby rock golems all fall down on the same rock fusing with it. This is a very very uncommon occurrence but a dangerous one. The adolescent rock golems are 4 feet tall with hand and feet that support their body weight. Being made entirely out of stone they are hard to cut or break. The biggest threat of them is that they perceive anything or anyone near any baby rock golems as predators.

Luis had spotted the adolescent rock golem before it saw him but the only problem being the baby rock golem Luis had gotten the blessing from was headed in its direction.

Taking a big sigh Luis spoke out loud just enough for the golem to not hear him. "Aunt Sera I know you are the one who made it appear because you think the training is easy for me now, but I don't have any way of defeating it can you at least give me hints"

Luis did feel crazy talking out loud while no one was there and it didn't help that even after a few minutes he did not hear a response back.

Thinking inwardly "Well I guess I'll have to deal with it myself. What would aunt Sera say when I can't win a fight. Hmmmm oh right set traps, run, and negotiate if possible. I guess I can't negotiate, they are said to be low intelligence meaning communication is not possible. Wait are its legs injured he's not moving a lot. Maybe aunt Sera isn't that bad after all. It's still walking though but slowly, maybe there's other stuff she did to help me."

15 minutes later

A slope 30 meters away from the adolescent golem. "Okay the terrain is littered with uneven rocks, there's also big pieces of dislodged rocks on top of the hill I can throw down, this is perfect"

Luis started off by launching small pebbles at the golem he imbued them with aura but they only left scratches on the golem. However it did the job of distracting the golem as it came rushing towards Luis it would tumble and fall because of the uneaven terrain further damaging its legs. When it got close enough Luis mustered all the strength in his body while using aura and threw down the dislodged big rocks.

Rumbling sounds echoed and a dust cloud arose where the golem was "Its…. Immobilised let's gooooo" Luis yelled loudly. "Now let me test something else out, I wonder if I could have destroyed him with an aura punch" Luis stood above it closing his eyes gathering all his aura in his fist and swung with full force. Leaving a gaping hole in the golem.

Unable to contain his grin inwardly thinking "It takes me about 15 seconds to charge up but I can destroy one with my fist. That was easier then I thought only 7 more days left let's go. Oh wait shi.. I forgot about the baby golem. Luis ran full speed towards the baby golem it was luckily only stuck in a dead bush and had not fallen over.

Luis thought the rest of the days would be easier but the numbers of the golems kept increasing every 2 days. His new plan was to just grab the attention of all the golems and run until they got far enough away from the baby golem, which is when he would use aura in his legs to quickly run out of the adolescent golems eye line. This would leave him more and more tired every day as on the 29th day 5 golems but luckily all of their legs were still injured.

Sadly the last day was different, Luis was a mess drained from running everyday, which would exhaust him, and making sure he did not run in the same directions as other golems he led astray also limited his options, making it so on some days he had to run even further away. Luckily while he was not with the baby golem it had not received too much damage, it looked as if it could still survive 5 falls.

As Luis woke up in day 30 to face off against another 5 golems, too his surprise their were only 2 but unlike the rest they were not injured. "Oh no, I can't out run 2 of them and it looks like all the bad terrain I saw on the path here all just disappeared overnight….. I have no advantages"

Luis had about 30 minutes where he would have to stop following his golem because then the other 3 older ones would spot him. Making him have minimum 30 minutes to come up with a plan. "This is bad"

The thing that scared Luis the most were not the golems but it was the thought that aunt Sera might make him do it all again if the baby golem dies.

"That is a dumb plan but that might be my only chance."

With what Luis had observed over the last few days the baby golems fell twice an hour and looking at how damaged his was he had 2 hours to make it back here on time. Otherwise it was gonna fall and kill itself.

"Okay I can do this there's about 9 other adolescent surviving golems, with there legs being injured they are more clumsy and when there were more they were causing more harm to each other then I was too then. I just need to hope that I can make the golems with working legs crash at high speed into the golems with injured feet"
