Chapter 122 - 24

In the castle of the Dwarven Kingdom that was shaped like a skyscraper, King Auva sat with a tense face. He was currently on the top floor of the building. He was like that because he didn't receive regular reports every half hour from the people at the golem manufacturing facility about the activities of the academy students on their study tours.

In front of him sat Merlick and King Gustave. They didn't go with the students because according to King Auva, It had the best level of security in the entire Dwarven Kingdom. After all, it wasn't far from the castle, so they could go there whenever something happened. Therefore, they did not have to worry about the safety of the academy students. But now they are worried because they haven't received any news since 1 hour ago.

"King Auva, how is the situation? Have you heard from there?" Merlick asked worriedly.

"Unfortunately, I haven't received any news yet. According to one of the mages in this kingdom, they can't contact the place." King Auva said apologetically. He didn't think it would turn out like this. If he had known, he would have asked Merlick or King Gustave to go accompany the students. He was worried because there were also his two children.

"So what should we do King Auva? We can't wait any longer. I'm afraid something happened there." King Gustave also felt the same way about him. Because Princess Reina and Prince Albert were also there.

"I know. We'd better go to that place to confirm it ourselves than wait for uncertain news." King Auva stood up and prepared to go to the Golem Manufacturing Facility.

"Okay. Let's go now." Merlick was also impatient. Even though there are teachers, the students are still his responsibility. He had to confirm their safety with his own eyes.

After that, the three of them came out escorted by several elite soldiers and golems. They set off in a special magic car for the royal family. It was smaller than the magic car the students were using but more luxurious and capable of moving three times as fast.

It wasn't long before they arrived in front of the Golem Manufacturing Facility, the place where the academy students were visiting for their study tour. King Auva and the other two people felt something strange as they approached the place. Because the entrance area looks deserted and there are no guards to greet him.

King Auva, King Gustave, and Merlick got out of the magic car. The soldiers and elite golems also followed them. King Auva didn't go straight in but looked at the barrier that enveloped the entire area of ​​the Golem Manufacturing Facility.

"King Auva, is this the defense system of this place?" Merlick asked him. He wondered why the defense system was active at a time like this.

"No, it's not from this place. Someone blocked the entrance!" King Auva quickly understood what was happening. He felt the barrier in front of him was very unusual.

"What!? So how about the students!?" Merlick shouted in panic after hearing King Auva's explanation. What they had been worried about turned out to be a reality. The students were currently trapped inside and how they were doing was unknown. This was the second time the academy students had been caught up in an incident like this.

"If it's a barrier created by someone else, then I can destroy it right?" King Gustave walked over to the barrier and took out a blood-red greatsword from his space storage. He readied to slash through the barrier in front of him. The other two didn't say anything. They agreed with King Gustave's words.

When King Gustave swung his sword, suddenly a girl's voice was heard next to him which made him stop his slash. King Gustave instantly retreated and kept his distance from the place.

He saw a girl with long, whitish red hair standing in a place not far from where King Gustave had been standing before. King Gustave was sweating his forehead remembering he didn't notice the girl's presence until she spoke to him.

"Who are you? What do you want you to do in this place?" King Auva took out a sword from his space storage. It was his prided sword as a Sword Saint, Gram. The medium-sized sword was the grade of a Legendary rank artifact. He made it himself with the best materials and took approximately 7 years.

"Oh, Dwarf King? Did you come here personally? Is there anyone important in there?" Rosier asked while teasing him. From the start, she didn't change her expression in the slightest when she had to deal with 3 saint-class people plus elite soldiers and golems.

"Don't joke with me and answer my questions now!" King Auva readied to attack Rosier. But his instincts warned him that she was a very dangerous opponent.

Rosier frowned upon hearing King Auva yell at her. His aura suddenly changed from being friendly to being extremely cold. She stared daggers at King Auva who had previously yelled at her. Then Rosier snapped her fingers.

Click...

"Ahhh!"

"What is this!?"

"Argh!"

The elite golem that was brought in to escort him suddenly attacked the soldiers. In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers fell. King Auva, King Gustave, and Merlick were shocked at the sudden turn of events. They didn't expect the golems to attack the soldiers.

"What have you done to those golems!?" King Auva roared at Rosier. He charged forward at high speed, but the elite golems blocked it and protected Rosier.

"Don't get in my way!" King Auva slashed at the golem in front of him, but it was easily parried and the other golems counterattacked King Auva.

"What!?" King Auva was taken aback by the elite golem's ability to withstand his slash. He knew very well the abilities of the golems. His slash should be enough to cut through the golems.

"That... Aren't you the one who attacked a few days ago using a golem?" King Gustave realized something when he saw the golem belonging to the Dwarven Kingdom suddenly attack the soldiers. He had also heard reports from his son about being attacked by dozens of golems at the blacksmithing site.

"Bingo! You're great at finding out quickly." Rosier unexpectedly admitted it right away.

"What exactly do you want here!? Why do you repeatedly attack important places in my kingdom!?" King Auva became even angrier after knowing she was the mastermind behind all the attacks on his kingdom.

"Ah, I was just looking for something that happened to be in this kingdom. Even if there is damage or casualties, it's a pity but I can't do anything about the death of an insect." Rosier smiled slightly and waved her hand to signal the golems to attack King Auva again.

"Gustave, Merlick please help me restrain the golems. I will directly attack the woman controlling them!" King Auva looked at King Gustave and Merlick behind him. He brought quite many golems to that place. He would spend a lot of time taking care of all those golems while he had no idea what was going on inside the Golem manufacturing facility. He was worried that something had happened to his children.

"Okay!" King Gustave and Merlick nodded in unison and started charging forward to attack the golems.

[Rock Shower]

Merlick made the boulders around him float and drop them simultaneously on the golems. He heard from the students that the golems that attacked them could nullify magic. But it's a different story if he uses magic to move objects to attack.

One by one the golems fell under the boulder he had dropped from the sky. Some were still able to dodge it but had to deal with King Gustave's sword slash. The golems split in half with a single slash. King Gustave's greatsword is called the Red King. The red color on the sword was because the material used to make it continuously emitted tremendous heat and could even melt any metal it touched. Because of that, he could cut golems like chopping tofu.

"Hee... You guys are quick to learn from the previous attacks. But that's not enough." Rosier raised her hand and resisted the sword that suddenly came from beside her. He parried the sword with her index finger.

"What!?" King Auva was dumbfounded as his sword was parried like it was nothing. He saw Rosier's finger turn to gold. He sensed danger from her and quickly retreated to keep his distance from her.

"Who exactly are you!?" King Auva was still curious about the identity of the girl in front of him. He couldn't be unrecognizable with such power. He could even withstand King Auva's attack without any effort.

"Eh, I haven't told you yet? Fine, I'll tell you, but after you defeat the golems." Rosier pointed at the golem that had been destroyed by Merlick and King Gustave.

"What do you mean? We've defeated..." King Auva stopped his words when he saw the shattered golems suddenly merge into one and form a new golem. King Gustave and Merlick were shocked to see what was happening in front of them. It was like all their previous fights were in vain.

"Fine. Try to beat it if you can." Rosier smiled after seeing their faces suddenly turn into panic.

***

Back in the Golem Manufacturing Facility, Clara and her group fled to a safe place in the direction of the teacher. They knew that they would be useless in a fight against a golem that could nullify magic.

Clara already got news from Ziel through the communication brooch, so she wasn't too worried about his condition. Right now the important thing was to dodge the golems that suddenly came attacking them. Apart from the students who had jobs as knights, others were restricted to help fight the golems.

"Freya, did any golems follow us here?" Princess Iris asked Princess Freya next to her. They were currently separated from the rest of the student group. Besides the two of them, Clara and Lilith were also with them.

"Seems safe. No one chased us all the way here." Princess Freya panted as she kept running to avoid the golems. If it wasn't for the golems being able to nullify magic, she would have fought against it.

"Great. So all we can do for now is just wait for help?" Clara let out a sigh of relief after hearing that. But she knew that they weren't completely safe from a dangerous situation yet.

"That seems to be the case." Lilith answered curtly. In the first place, she didn't have to hide. She's only there because Ziel asked her to protect Clara.

When they are resting, suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of them. He was one of the black-robed people who came with Brolia. The black-robed people attacked them and his target was Prince Iris. But before he could touch her, he was blown away by a dozen meters.

"I didn't think you'd find us so soon." Lilith slowly walked forward. She was the one who hit the black-robed people before his attack hit Princess Iris. Clara and the two Princesses were still confused by what suddenly happened in front of them. Everything happened so fast that they didn't have time to digest it.

The black-robed people got up and were about to strike again, but before that Lilith was behind him and thrust his spear straight through his chest. No blood came out, because the black-robed people were also one of the golems created by Rosier.

(So ​​the one that attacked us earlier was a golem, I didn't even see the movement. Wasn't that golem as strong as a Sword King? So how strong is Lilith actually?)

Princess Freya muttered in her heart. She was taken aback by the sudden attack on them but she was even more shocked by the power that Lilith displayed. Clara and Princess Iris also felt the same way about her right now.

While they were deep in thought, another black-robed golem appeared behind them. This time the target is Clara, the one in the back.

"What!?" Clara turned because she felt a presence behind her. But she was shocked and didn't have time to react to see a sword already in front of her eyes.

"Damn!" Lilith had just noticed the presence of the black-robed golem. She moved as fast as she could to block the attack aimed at Clara.

(I won't be on time!)

Lilith screamed in panic in her heart when she saw the sword that was about to split Clara's head.
