"I understand that you want to help, but the occasional magic attacks are okay.
If you go out there, you'd only end up disrupting my party members and making things worse. Don't you realise that you might be out of commission if that creature ge-!"
Her speech was cut short as she sensed the flesh golem's death aura surround its body once more, with its injured flesh beginning to bubble up again.
"Oh, no you don't."
Eliza reactivated her magic circle and infused it with her skill's life essence, shooting out another beam of green light that hit the monster faster than it could react.
The flesh golem roared out in rage as its death aura disappeared, with its rage turning into confusion as it found that it suddenly could not move forward anymore.
Its legs had been surrounded by dark shadowy appendages that latched it to the ground, and there was something like a giant hand holding its neck and preventing it from moving forward.
"Thanks, Pride."
Evan spoke as he ran up the 'giant arm' holding the flesh golem's neck, which was the partial avatar of Pride, an energy-constructed limb that extended from the outstretched arm of the high demon herself.
Upon reaching the flesh golem's neck, Evan stabbed tossed his sword into his inventory and held his two palms forward, condensing his golden aura in front of his palms in preparation for an energy blast.
Naturally, the golem didn't fail to sense this, but a certain shadow spirit didn't give it a chance to move, as multiple tentacle-like appendages shot out of the creature's shadow and latched onto its arms, holding them in place and preventing it from moving to attack Evan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe moment he had condensed the energy in his palm to the limit, the young hero ran up to the golem's head and jumped in front of its face, turning around to face its forehead before launching his attack.
**BOOMMM!!!
The force of the explosion sent him flying backwards, however, he flipped in the air and regained his balance, landing on the town walls right behind him while the creature attempted to flail around.
"You guys are too close..."
Eliza spoke as she sent another green beam of light towards the flesh golem that recovered its death aura, before turning to Evan and continuing.
"…take it further away from the town."
"That's gonna be quite difficult given that it wants to take you out first.
I mean…you are the one stopping its regeneration, after all."
The boy's words shed light onto the reason why Eliza had been launching multiple beams of light towards the flesh golem for those who hadn't figured it out, also bringing a bit of attention towards himself as some also noticed the silver guild card hanging from his neck.
"The kid's B rank too?!"
Before Evan could make a snide comment in response to that bystander's words, the flesh golem who had eaten a mouthful of magic from the mages on the walls in close range, roared out in rage as it forcefully broke out of Kuro's restraints before punching towards the city walls.
The almost fading death aura on its arm flared back to life, with Eliza's eyes widening in shock as she used another skill charge and cast multiple barriers.
**SHATTERR!!! X2
Using more than one barrier proved to be a wise decision as the creature's arm easily bulldozed the first two, before coming to a stop on the third and merely cracking it.
"Evann…."
"Fine, I'd try to make it go far away."
Evan replied as he pulled out his sword from his inventory and activated vortex, jumping off the town walls and aiming the vortex at the upper monster's torso.
"GUFOOOOO?!"
The creature's roar sounded a bit surprised as its huge body was knocked back more than a hundred metres from the boy's singular attack.
As for the damage it took, it was already pulling out the flesh from other parts of its body to replace the parts it lost while trying to reactivate its death aura.
Evan ran up the golem's body while covering his nose with his free hand, reaching its half-destroyed head and stabbing the Unforged into it.
"Sorry about this, Lil guy."
He apologized to the blade before activating vortex once more, however, as the sword was embedded into the monster's head, said head was inadvertently blown to bits, scattering chunks of flesh and severed human limbs in the air.
"Blergh…"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuch was the sound that escaped Evan's lips as the boy deactivated his elemental shield skill and blinked out of the way just in time to avoid the huge magic power-coated arm that moved over to crush him flat.
However, this proved to be an unnecessary action as the flesh golem's arm never completed its motion.
Halfway through, it was grabbed by the gigantic energy limb construct that extended from the right arm of a high demon who had an unconscious elf slung over his shoulder, while said high demon's sister swung down an extended sword of black flames and cut off the creature's left arm…again.
"----!!!!"
If the creature still had a head with a mouth, then it was definitely going to roar out loudly, but sadly for it, said head had been blown to bits by a certain young hero who was sipping a juice pack while watching the large severed limb fall to the ground.
"Pride, let's start rounding up."
The moment Evan sent that message to Pride, the high demon pulled back her sword and kicked off the ground, arriving right at the flesh golem's feet and swinging her weapon once more, delivering a clean diagonal cut through the creature's knee.
She then spun around to generate momentum before kicking the part of its leg (Everything below the knee) that she had cut off towards its other leg, causing the creature to lose its balance and tumble to the ground.
As it was tumbling to the ground, Evan blitzed in towards the golem's other leg and swung his sword repeatedly, with each swing sending a blade cannon towards the creature's knee, eventually blasting it to bits and increasing the speed at with which it fell to the ground.
Evan looked up and noticed that the golem had already begun redistributing flesh from its torso to its severed arm and neck, with the other arm falling to the ground as the creature tried to keep its massive frame from falling to the ground completely.
The action of its palm slamming on the ground resulted in a huge shockwave that swept towards the town walls and crack them, with Eliza's barrier intercepting right before the impact of the shockwaves could collapse the walls completely.
Its death aura flared up once again and its legs began regenerating rapidly at a speed that momentarily shocked Evan, with nearly half of its head growing back within the few seconds that the aura was active.
However, its regeneration was once again cut short by the actions of a certain blonde priestess who activated her flower cannon skill and launched a beam of concentrated magic power mixed with life essence towards the golem's neck and upper chest area.
**BOOOMM!!!
