Chapter 110 - 12

"Amalgam?" The heroes and the Princesses were confused by what Princess melkia had said.

"It was a golem found by the Dwarven Kingdom hundreds of years ago in ruin and became the basis for the creation of the golems in this kingdom until now. It's also called the mother golem." Princess Melkia explained to them. But her face looked confused when she saw the figure standing in the darkness.

"So it's a golem belonging to the Dwarven Kingdom? Then why did he attack Prince Torin and the other Princes?" Kyouka still didn't understand what was going on.

"No, that golem isn't amalgam! It's just similar! Lord Hikaru, please quickly save my brother and the other Princes!" Princess Melkia finally realized what made her confused. He then clings to Hikaru and asks for his help.

"Leave it to me! After all, I was summoned to this world as a hero." Hikaru walked forward and readied to fight the golem.

The golem slowly walked out of the darkness. He had a shape very similar to that of a human, his body was much taller than an adult and was copper in color. His eyes are fiery red and he has a red crystal in the shape of a pentagon on his forehead.

Hikaru and the other three heroes suddenly became tense after looking into the golem's eyes. They subconsciously stepped back. But Kyouka gritted her teeth and attacked the golem first.

[Ice Needles]

Hundreds of ice needles shot toward the golem at high speed.

"I will help them." Princess Iris intends to join the attack with the heroes. But Ziel's words stopped her.

"Your attacks are useless on him." Ziel said nonchalantly.

"What do you mean? I'm not as strong as you! But at least I can still help them a bit and not just sit around!" Princess Iris got angry after hearing Ziel's words. She felt that Ziel underestimated her too much. She unintentionally raised her voice at him.

"Look." Ziel only answered it briefly.

"What should I see...." The annoyed Princess Iris wanted to say something to him but after looking in the direction Ziel was pointing she was dumbfounded.

The hundreds of ice needles suddenly disappeared before touching the golem's body. The attack was like being swallowed by something.

"What's that?" Princess Iris asked him. But Ziel didn't answer and just stared at the golem in silence. He narrowed his eyes at the red pentagon crystal on his forehead. It was the same crystal he had gotten from within the green dragon.

Princess Iris pouted because she felt neglected. But she didn't dare say anything. Luckily Clara was with the heroes and didn't overhear their conversation. They saw kyouka attack him again with the fire spear but still disappeared before hitting him.

"That is..." Lilith seemed to realize something.

"Anti-magic area. 360 degrees protects it from any magic attacks. It seems like someone skilled in casting a nullification magic spell. Besides that its body is also made of adamantium which is very hard to scratch." Ziel explained it to Lilith.

"Isn't that the natural enemy of a mage?" Lilith was a little surprised because her orientation was also a mage. Ziel nodded slightly in response.

Princess Iris felt guilty after hearing what Lilith said. Ziel had warned her before, but she raised her voice at him instead.

"I'm sorry..." Princess Iris said apologetically while lowering her head to him.

"I don't care about that. You have your opinion. I won't blame you." Ziel said nonchalantly. He didn't seem to think about what Princess Iris had said earlier. But Princess Iris felt his voice slightly cold towards her. Princess Iris clenched her fists tightly and didn't dare to say anything else. Lilith just snorted seeing her like that.

While they were chatting, the heroes started attacking the golems. Kyouka who didn't know at first continued to attack the golem with magic. But over time she realized the golem's ability.

"Hikaru! Looks like Megumi and I will be useless in this fight! The golem has something that nullifies magic. So the mages can't join the direct attack!" Kyouka conveyed her observations to Hikaru.

"Okay, we will both attack him together. Come on, Sintaro!" Hikaru took his spear from his space storage and charged forward to attack the golem.

"Come on, Hikaru!" Sintaro also took a weapon from his space storage. He wore a silver gauntlet in his hands.

The two of them would attack the golem with pure physical attacks without the aid of magic. This will limit the variety of their attacks.

"I will come with you!" Princess Reina also came forward to attack with the red sword in her hand.

Hikaru started attacking the golems with his spear when he felt the golems had already entered his attack range. He thrust his spear into the red crystal on the golem's forehead. But the thing that took them by surprise happened. Hikaru thought his attack hit the golem, but it turned out to be just an afterimage. The golem moved so fast that it left an afterimage.

"Be careful!" Hikaru quickly warned the two when the golem suddenly disappeared.

The disappeared golem appeared right in front of Sintaro. It made him reflexively punch the golem with his full strength. But the golem didn't dodge, it also punched Sintaro back.

Boooooooommmmmm!

They clashed their fists and generated shockwaves in the surroundings. They were both blown away by the impact of their fists.

"Damn! That fist is so hard!" Sintaro felt his hands go numb after punching the golem.

After that, Hikaru attacked the golems together with Princess Reina. The golems blocked their attacks with his bare hands. While the three of them fought the golems, the princesses helped the injured.

"Brother! Are you okay!?" Princess Freya screamed in panic. She was worried and immediately checked the condition of Prince Fritz. She breathed a sigh of relief after knowing his brother's condition was fine. She quickly cast a healing spell on him.

[Minor Heal]

Princess Fritz's condition is slowly improving. The other Princesses are also treating the other Princes and the soldiers.

"Ugh... What's wrong with me?" Prince Fritz started to open his eyes. His whole body was in a lot of pain. He tried to get up, but his body was still too weak to move.

"You can't move much, brother! You have to rest to recover your condition." Princess Freya helps her brother to sit down.

"Aah, where are Torin and Albert!? Where are the golems!?" Prince Fritz suddenly remembered what happened earlier.

"Relax. They're fine. Right now the golem is fighting the heroes and Princess Reina." Princess Freya pointed at Hikaru who was fighting fiercely against him.

"The golem's body is very hard and it moves very fast. Moreover, magic cannot be used on it." Princess Fritz tried to warn them.

"Don't worry, brother. They already know about this." Princess Freya nodded at his words.

Their fight continues. The three of them continued to suppress the golem. But only the sound of metal clashing could be heard from their fight. The surface of the golem's body was not scratched at all.

"Iris, shouldn't we help them!?" Clara ran over to them. They don't have a chance to help the victims because they were all taken care of by the Princesses and the rest of the heroes who didn't fight.

"We can't do anything about that golem, you should know that." Princess Iris smiled bitterly and glanced at Ziel.

"But..." Clara looks very eager to help them.

"Clara, trust me. There's nothing we can do about this fight." Princess Iris remembered that she was the same as her before. Clara finally nodded and complied.

Their long fight was very bad for them. Because the golem has stamina depending on its energy supply. The bigger it is, the longer it lasts. Unlike Hikaru and the others.

"Damn it! At this rate, we'll lose. I can't do magic-based attacks so this is troublesome!" Hikaru threw out his spear which was damaged by the impact of the golem's body. He took out a sword from his space storage. His skill [Master All Weapon] activated and he became familiar with the weapon in his hand.

"The only possible way is to attack the crystal on his forehead." Princess Reina concluded it was the weakest and easiest point for them to attack.

"Let's do it. I'll try to distract him." Sintaro banged his fist. He felt very excited in that fight.

"Now!" Hikaru gave the signal and they started attacking simultaneously.

Sintaro fights hand to hand with the golem. He made the golem's attention only on him. They punch each other and both look for opportunities to hit their opponents. But sintaro is a human and his body isn't as tough as that golem even though he has the skill [Superhuman Body]. He remained injured all over his body. He also suffered from mental fatigue and body. When they were fighting fists, suddenly Sintaro changed his movements. He shifted to the back of the golem and locked his movements with a big hug.

"Do it now!" Sintaro shouted signaling both of them.

Hikaru and Princess Reina suddenly appeared in front of the golem and thrust their swords into the red crystal on its forehead. Their swords managed to pierce the crystal through its head. Luckily Sintaro quickly tilted his head before getting impaled by their swords.

Clank...

The red crystal shattered into pieces. Upon seeing that, the soldiers cheered for the victory of the heroes.

"Ken, they finally won!" Clara shouted happily after seeing the golems no longer moving.

"Not yet, my lady." Ziel splashed cold water on her happiness.

"They are stupid." Lilith quipped at the soldiers and Princesses celebrating their victory too early.

Princess Iris and Clara didn't understand what they were talking about. But not long after, they heard an explosion sound followed by Hikaru and the others bouncing off.

The golem was still moving, the chest of the golem opened and revealed a red pentagon crystal that was much larger than the one on its forehead. The red crystal shone and aimed at the Princesses, the two heroines, and the victims who had just woken up. The golems fired laser beams at such high speed that they had no time to dodge or defend themselves.

[Tortoise Shield]

[Diamond Great Wall]

The gray tortoise shells were stacked against a giant wall that gleamed like diamonds holding the laser beam. One barrier belongs to Princess Aishia and the other belongs to Princess Freya.

"Eh? So this is how the barrier function of this pendant looks like. Hmm... So pretty." Princess Freya smiled satisfied to see it.

"Are we safe?" Princess Melkia looked around her and stopped at the glowing pendants and bracelets of the two Princesses. She could tell the barrier came from their artifact.

"Awesome!" Megumi shouted in admiration.

"You're right, creating an instant barrier with strong defense. That artifact is indeed extraordinary." Kyouka muttered in agreement with Megumi's words.

"Freya, what is it?" Prince Fritz was shocked to see his sister had something like that.

"I'll tell you later, brother. See! that golem hasn't been defeated yet! He seems to be stronger than before." Princess Freya accidentally looked at Princess Aishia. Coincidentally she was also looking at her. The two of them stared at each other for a while and averted their eyes at the same time.

The golem's body suddenly turned red, it moved at high speed. Since he felt he couldn't attack Princess Freya and the others who were inside the barrier, he looked for another target. The golem disappeared from its place, it appeared right in front of princess Iris who was silently watching the sudden change in the situation.

"Eh?" Princess Iris was shocked that the golem was about to punch her in the head. If hit by that attack, her head will be crushed like a watermelon. She closed his eyes resigned to the blow that was about to come at her. But the blow never came. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw the golem in front of her frozen in place, but not from being frozen by the ice. Not only the golems, but the surrounding people also seemed to freeze.

Then someone walked past him, it was Ziel and Lilith. Behind Ziel floated a spirit circle in the shape of a gear. He reached out his hand and touched the crystal on the golem's chest. In the blink of an eye, the golem turned to ashes.. He turned it into nothingness.
