Location: (The Under) Forsaken Land ➡ Coliseum
Unperturbed by the burbling nonsense and cacophony of animalistic noise that echoed off the crumbling stones in the ruined coliseum, the knight seemed unfazed by what he soon came upon as the metallic clank of Artorias' footsteps came to a stop at the very foot of arena.
Spectators, it seemed lined the stands making loathsome noise as the newest fighter made his entrance. They were covered in some sort of black sludge, insects coming in all shapes and sizes with lifeless hollow eyes.
Suddenly the ground shook as rocks seemed to clack against stone, as the coliseums champion made itself known. The corrupted champion stood tall over the knight, made of stone and a similar black substance to the one covering most of the arena.
It slammed its two great fists upon the ground, the Corrupted Golem bellowing a sickly looking cloud forth at the sight of its newest opponent followed by discordant roar of the crowd as their champion went on the attack immediately forcing Artorias to quickly move to the side as the golem tried to crush the knight between its hands.
Slow to turn it received a few clean swipes from Artorias whose focus was set on the golems lower half staggering it for but a second before the golem seemingly angered by the retaliation came at the knight with its arms spinning. Too strong to block and to wide of an attack to evade, as he attempted to roll away he was tossed by the golems attack landing to the side with a grunt causing the crowd to cheer.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself Artorias held Finstertöter in one hand and the other on the ground before leaping into the air and slamming it into the ground or rather the golem three times.
The booing and jeering of the insects did not faze Artorias in the slightest as the Corrupted Golem staggered and fell with a loud crash upon the floor, disturbing ages worth of dust and likely the bones of many dead gladiators that came before him. Artorias leapt at the golem but was batted away as his opponent was not staggered for long, the crowd roared as he slammed against the wall of the fighting ring.
With only seconds to spare before the golem brought its arms together the injured knight rolled to the side of his opponent putting distance between himself and the Corrupted Golem to down a bit of Estus as it closed in with another deadly clap.
This time he got aggressive in his attacks, the sound of Finstertöter boomed as it hit the golem. Artorias began to see the patterns in the constructs attacks, his intuition anticipated the golem wind up for a spinning attack.
Leaping out of reach early, he came at the golem with two solid strikes toppling the golem and as it fell he leapt into the air with his sword in both hands "Begone you dark relic, return to dust!" he cried landing a blow so hard it almost shattered Finstertöter as the blade struck the Corrupted Golem's core.
