Chapter 397 Titan (3)

Samuel and Samara took a deep breath to calm down their nerves and then eventually, they began to pull the trigger of the crossbows. With so many enemies around, it was almost impossible to miss, but they were having a hard time hitting the fire Golem's heads. In any case, the ice bolts began to hit the enemies and froze the areas hit. When they landed on the limbs of those creatures, they froze completely and ended up being detached from the rest of their bodies.

Eventually, the fire golems turned around and got close enough to attack. Those who were hit began to span fire Bullets, but Billy blocked them with a little Telekinesis and cold wind… The bullets began with pebbles that couldn't burn anyone. The twins sighed in relief when they saw that, and then they resumed their work, and Billy finally started to use Mind Control on the fire Golems. Some of them turned around and then began to head south. Billy only gave them a single answer: go and kill other fire Golems.

…

Since Billy wasn't fighting the monsters by himself, he was getting a smaller cut of the experience and of the mana taken from them. Still, it was more than enough to stop the enemies' attacks and the extra he used to Mind Control some other Golems. Still, they had to stop for a while when Billy noticed that even though the monsters two hundred meters away were getting hit, they weren't turning to face them…

"Why aren't they coming?" Samuel asked.

"The heat that their bodies emit is decreasing the power of the bolts… Since they are flying for longer, they have more time to decrease the elemental power," Billy replied while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "We will have to keep moving in a circle and decrease their numbers. We can't get close and risk luring hundreds of them toward us."

Usually, Samuel would complain about that since it looked like a lame strategy. However, he was sweating bullets due to the heat emitted by the fire Golems. It felt like they were in the middle of an active volcano. If the fire Golems get much closer, they probably won't even be able to keep their eyes open… much less fight them.

Even for Billy, that was quite hardcore, and he had experienced it in the fire dungeon that Gustav controlled. As if that wasn't troublesome enough, he still was wearing his weights… Billy figured that he could keep them since he wasn't fighting with his body. Thanks to that when morning came, he was much more exhausted than the siblings and they even had completed one-fourth of the lap around the capital while killing the fire Golems. They killed more than ten thousand, but it didn't seem like the number was decreasing…

"It is because the number of monsters kept coming from the place the dungeon originated from never decreased… " Billy thought.

"Even this is no good, huh," Billy thought.

Billy looked behind and saw the twins almost falling asleep after they began to rest their backs against a tree. More and more that was turning into a problem that a single person couldn't solve.

Billy sent hundreds of Golems down south to stop the others from coming. They still were fighting since he was getting experience, but even so, they weren't making much progress. It was hard to believe, but maybe the core created more monsters than the summoner had created during that short war. Things were even more complicated because the monsters weren't attacking a single place. So, organizing the defenses was more than a little bit annoying. Regardless, it has been a while since Billy had the chance to sleep, so he decided to take a short nap and refresh his mind.

When Billy woke up, it was already noon and things were getting noisy again… A lot noisier than before. More than a few fire Golems were trying to damage the walls now with charge and they didn't stop even though they were damaging themselves… Thanks to Hawkeye, Billy could see in the distance that some cracks were starting to appear in the walls and that wasn't a good sign.

While Billy was thinking about his next steps, he saw some movements above the walls and after a while, some people began to fire earth blocks and water spheres toward the monsters. It seemed that the students of his friends were there, but they still could only use the most basic form of the elements. Due to their numbers, they were slowing down the fire Golems, but it was only a matter of time before things get dicey.

"We are running out of time, aren't we?" Samara asked as soon as she woke up.

"That is one way of putting it," Billy said and then sighed. "I guess I will have to do this… No, we will do this together."

Samuel had just woken up as well, so Billy touched their heads and sent mana to their eyes in order to make them learn Hawkeye, once that was done. He made the skill level up several times.

"I used a spell that will improve your aim, our goal is to take down as many fire Golems as possible," Billy said. "Follow me and make sure to stay close because things will get messy."

Billy disliked the idea of solving someone else's problems by himself, but in the end, the situation required some drastic measures and the real problem wasn't even the massive number of fire Golems surrounding the capital. It was the horde on the place the dungeon broke. Regardless, Samuel and Samara followed Billy. They headed toward the nearest group of fire Golems and when they turned around and found Billy's group, their heads exploded after being hit by an ice sphere.
