Chapter 88: 88: Freezing Breath



Andre looked at the mini-version of the golem in front of him with fear. It just suddenly appeared out of nowhere while they were hiding in the bush and watching as the members of the hunting party started to win. It appeared at the time Jin won his battle. They were caught off guard and the golem managed to impale Fatty's thighs, making him unable to walk.

Just like the big golems, the one in front of him had a toad-like eyes. Its sclera was yellow and unlike the big ones, it had a blue pupil with three tomoe constantly rotating in a circle around the pupil. It was a weird display that scared the shit out of him.

The eyes and height were the only difference it had from its bigger counterpart. The rest such as stone bodies, limbs, etc... Were similar to the big ones but shorter.

"This is a problem? What should we do?" A grim expression appeared on Luna's face. Fortunately, the mini-golem stopped attacking after it injured Fatty. Although confused, it gave them a breather

Fatty clutched the large bloody hole in his thigh and covered it with his palm... He tried to stop the bleeding, but it was too persistent. Due to this, he couldn't walk even if he wanted to. He could only lie on the ground helplessly.

How was he supposed to defend himself now? He became even more of a burden due to the injury, and he felt ashamed of being a dumbbell to the group.

Clifford pointed his Saber at the golem with bloodshot eyes.

"Damned Apokalips! How dare you hurt my friend!"

Seeing Clifford about to lose self-control, Andre immediately patted him and said:

"Cliff, not now. We need to remain calm or we will perish here. The others can't help us now since they just fought and they don't have the energy for another battle. Now, we can only rely on ourselves and deal with this Abomination in front of us."

"Damn it!" Clifford didn't lower down his saber. But he didn't charge impulsively and let his emotions under his control.

Andre breathed a sigh of relief. 'Fortunately, he didn't let his hatred blind him. Or else, we would be absolutely fucked.'

Thinking of this, Andre pulled the sword on his sheathe and similarly pointed it towards the three-meter golem. He just hoped that the golem didn't have the same gravity and enhanced regeneration ability as those big ones. He looked at Luna and said.

...

The golem threw a punch at the speed of lightning. No, not literally, but metaphorically. Unlike the hunting party members, Andre and Clifford couldn't obviously move fast enough. The fist arrived before they could parry it with their weapons.

Andre spurted a mouthful of blood as the fist hit his chest and he was pushed one meter back. It almost broke his sternum.

"Damn you!" Clifford skillfully moved around and made a slashing motion, intending to behead the golem in one fell swoop.

The golem stared at the saber, and the three tomoe on its eyes stopped rotating. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and let out an icy breath like Superman. As the breath was about to swallow Clifford, a silhouette of a shadow caught Clifford and disappeared out of the way of the cold, freezing breath.

Two of the trees happened to be caught by the golem's attack. Freezing the leaves and covering the two trees in a block of ice.

Clifford looked at the one who saved him and saw Dunn, who was looking at the trees and the golem with dread.

"Well, let me handle this one." Dunn brought down Clifford and patted him on the shoulders. "At least you're brave enough to face it. That's worthy of my respect."

Hearing the praise from a strong man like Dunn made Clifford stunned, but happy, on the inside. "Take care, sir. Its ability might relate to its blue weird pupils with three small balls."

Dunn raised his eyebrows. 'Blue pupils?'

Then he saw that the midget golem had indeed weird blue pupils that were moving in circles. 'What a weird golem. It could even freeze things with its breath alone?'

He didn't have the time to think anything as the golem charged at Fatty again, ignoring everyone's presence.

"Fuck me!" Fatty didn't know whether to laugh or cry, seeing how insistent the damned golem was about killing him.
