Chapter 125 - 27
The one who joined their battle and resisted Brolia\'s attack was Prince Torin. He wasn\'t alone, he was being followed by a golem they had seen before, Amalgam. Kyouka and the others were taken aback by the sudden appearance of Prince Torin.
"Thanks for the help, Prince Torin. You\'re on time. But that golem..." Hikaru let out a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the huge golem that was following behind Prince Torin.
"Fortunately I was on time. You must have seen it. This is Amalgam. I have the authority to run in an emergency as a Crown Prince." Prince Torin was relieved that they were fine. After parting with them, Prince Torin and Princess Melkia went to where Amalgam was sealed. The royal family can activate it, especially for Prince Torin who is a Crown Prince.
Prince Torin parted ways with Princess Melkia after he activated Amalgam. He headed to the place where the battle was most intense and Princess melkia headed to where the students were gathering. Prince Torin was shocked by the damage caused by their fight in that place.
"This golem is amazing, isn\'t it? He can even withstand that woman\'s attack." Prince Fritz nodded in awe when he saw the power of Amalgam. He thought it would be very profitable to have such a golem in the Aurelia Kingdom.
"We will continue our chat later, it\'s best if we defeat her quickly and gather with the other students. I\'m afraid there are enemies besides her who are still roaming this place and endangering them." Prince Torin looked at Brolia who slowly walked towards him, closer to Amalgam to be precise.
"Hoo... the Dwarven Kingdom hid such a powerful thing here. But it will soon be mine..." Brolia looked directly into the Amalgam\'s eyes, the red pentagon crystal on her forehead shining. She was happy to see a powerful golem she could control. But she frowned after staring at it for a while but there was still no response from Amalgam.
"What\'s with the golems?" Brolia felt everything she did was in vain.
"Do you want to control Amalgam? Don\'t dream! Amalgam is a special golem that has an ego. Except with his permission, no one can activate it." Prince Torin mocks Brolia\'s actions.
"Ooh...then I\'ll just have to kill all of you and take it over. Isn\'t that easy?" Brolia snorted and compressed her divine power into her ax. She moved at high speed towards Prince Torin.
"Don\'t expect you to do it! Amalgam attacks her!" Prince Torin gave orders to Amalgam. In the blink of an eye, Amalgam disappeared from everyone\'s sight. She moves as fast as Brolia despite having a bigger body.
"I underestimated him. It seems you are stronger than you seem." Brolia smirked and raised her ax. She swung the ax with divine power compression towards Amalgam.
Amalgam also swung his fist which was covered in a blood-red gauntlet. It was a weapon the Dwarven Kingdom had developed to strengthen Amalgam. Because when Amalgam was found, he didn\'t have any weapons with him. In addition, the Dwarven Kingdom also made other weapons for him to use.
Boooooooommmmmm!
Clash after clash occurred between Brolia and Amalgam. The shockwave from their impact was enough to damage the surroundings. The heroes and the others had a hard time keeping up with their movements because they were both very fast.
"Good! We can win if we keep like this!" Sintaro clenched his fist tightly. He was very excited about the battle in front of him.
"You\'re right. He can even match her strength even if he\'s just fighting alone." Prince Fritz is optimistic about their victory after seeing the power of Amalgam.
Kyouka was also amazed by the battle in front of her, but something had been bothering her ever since. She seemed to see Amalgam little by little being pushed back by Brolia. Then she saw Prince Torin who was standing not far from her. Unlike the others, he currently had a gloomy face. Kyouka immediately knew that Princess Torin was also aware of this.
After clashing for a while, Brolia and Amalgam kept their distance from each other. Brolia wasn\'t hurt at all, but Amalgam already had a lot of scratches on it.
"What!? How is that possible!? Aren\'t they fighting evenly!?" Princess Reina was shocked by the temporary outcome of the fight between Brolia and Amalgam. The heroes and the others felt the same way. The battle they thought was even, turned out to be one-sided.
"That\'s because Amalgam doesn\'t have its true power." Prince Torin smiled bitterly admitting it.
"What do you mean, Prince Torin?" Kyouka was already curious about Prince Torin\'s expression when he saw Amalgam battle against Brolia.
"When Amalgam was found, he was in an inactive state. We forcibly revived it with the technology at our disposal. But still, we can\'t completely replace its exhausted source of power. Maybe his current strength is only half of his original strength that we can release." Prince Torin explained it honestly to Kyouka and the others.
"So... the current Amalgam can\'t beat her?" Megumi asked frantically. They were optimistic after seeing him hold off Brolia\'s attack and seem to be fighting evenly with her. But it turns out that Amalgam\'s current strength is limited and now they are confused about how to defeat Brolia.
"Calm down, we can find a way to defeat her. Prince Torin, can Amalgam hold her movement for 30 seconds? No, 20 seconds?" Kyouka looked seriously at Prince Torin. She had a plan in mind but was still unsure about the success rate.
"Hmm... If it\'s only that long I think maybe he can. No, I\'ll give it a try if it\'s to beat her." Prince Torin agreed to Kyouka\'s request.
"Kyouka, do you have a way to defeat her?" Hikaru felt that Kyouka was currently planning something.
"Yes. I have it. But the success rate is very low and we might be in danger if we fail." Kyouka nodded slightly at Hikaru\'s question. But her face looks very worried about the plan.
"Okay, say it. We\'re still in danger even if we don\'t." Hikaru urges Kyouka to explain her plan.
"I see. Here\'s my plan..." Kyouka started to explain her plan briefly and clearly to them while Amalgam fought Brolia. Their balanced fight turned into Brolia suppressing Amalgam at this time.
"Do you understand what to do?" Kyouka looked at them one by one after explaining the plan. She confirmed whether any of them still didn\'t understand the explanation. They all nodded in unison.
"Alright. Then we start our counterattack!" Kyouka signaled them to start their attack.
Brolia who was currently fighting Amalgam didn\'t look tired at all despite having fought so many people for a long time. It was because of the large part of her body that had been turned into a golem and the unusual source of power that Rosier had bestowed upon her.
Amalgam who was attacking Brolia aggressively suddenly stopped and retreated, this confused Brolia. But it didn\'t last long her confusion turned to shock because the heroes and others who were just silently watching them suddenly joined the battle. Hikaru appeared from behind the retreating Amalgam and thrust his spear. Brolia didn\'t take the attack seriously, she stretched out her hand and intended to hold it with her bare hands. But she frowned as if she had realized something.
Their attacks were not only from Hikaru. Prince Fritz and Princess Reina attacked her from the right and left sides while Sintaro attacked from behind. Right now Brolia was being attacked from four sides simultaneously by four people as strong as Saints.
"Aaaahhhh!" Brolia roared and radiated divine power from within her body. The shockwave blew away the four people who attacked her.
As the four of them were blown away by the shockwave of Brolia\'s power, Amalgam with a body covered in golden light came back at her from above. The golden light that enveloped him was the [Goddess Support] skill that Megumi had given him. Unlike the heroes, Amalgam\'s power did not increase significantly. It was because he was not a living being.
Amalgam clenched his fists and hit Brolia from above, but Brolia quickly dodged and slashed his ax at Amalgam. Without her realizing it, Hikaru and Sintaro were already waiting behind her. They predicted the direction in which Brolia would flee. Hikaru stabs his spear into Brolia\'s back while Sintaro attacks her from the front to interrupt her slash at Amalgam.
"Don\'t expect you guys to hit me that easily!?" Brolia snorted and an iron wall suddenly formed and protected her back.
Clank...
Brolia was able to withstand Hikaru\'s attack, but her attack on Amalgam was canceled due to Sintaro\'s interference. When she tried to attack him again, Amalgam had already disappeared. There was only Princess Reina and Prince Fritz who attacked her from the front. They continuously launched attacks to suppress her. But Brolia easily restrained and dodged it. They attack almost in the same pattern and confuse Brolia with their plan.
As she was contemplating their actual plan, Amalgam appeared from behind her and locked her movements.
"You...what are you doing!?" Brolia subconsciously asked Amalgam who couldn\'t answer her. Amalgam\'s current strength was enough to hold her back for a while.
While she was trying to break free from Amalgam, her vision suddenly darkened. What covered it was a gigantic iron ball that was shrouded in golden light. The iron ball flew towards Brolia at high speed. Kyouka and Megumi who were in the back and didn\'t participate in the attack silently made a large iron ball from the surrounding material and dropped it on Brolia.
"Prince Torin! withdraw Amalgam immediately!" Kyouka gave her the signal. The amalgam that was holding Brolia back quickly left her. Brolia sensed the oddity with the iron ball on her and tried to dodge it. But she just realized her feet had been sunk into the steel floor by Amalgam.
"Damn it!" Brolia finally held the iron ball with both hands. The golden glow in the iron ball was also Megumi\'s [Goddess Support] skill. As Brolia\'s handheld the iron ball, she felt an unusual weight from it. The iron ball was very light and not as heavy as it looked.
"You think this thing can hurt me?" Brolia smiled arrogantly. He felt that he would not be hurt even if he was hit by the iron ball directly.
"Ooh...Are you sure?" Kyouka smiled back at her. Brolia felt uncomfortable after seeing her smile.
Crack...
Brolia\'s smile suddenly solidified after seeing many cracks in the iron ball she was holding back. Golden light leaked from the cracks and then the iron ball exploded.
Booooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
A huge explosion engulfs Brolia\'s body. The iron ball felt light because the space in the center was filled with Kyouka\'s mana mixed with Megumi\'s blessing and exploded from inside. The outside is also coated with Megumi\'s blessing so as not to be affected by Brolia\'s abilities. Kyouka was sure an explosion from zero range would be able to kill her or at least seriously injure her.
"We hit her!" Megumi who was exhausted finally sat down on her knees.
"Haa...at least our efforts weren\'t in vain." Kyouka also sat on the floor next to Megumi. She used all the mana she had to create a mana explosion on the iron ball.
"Good job everyone!" Hikaru smiled satisfied with the result of their battle. They were exhausted from the long, fierce battle.
"Now, we deserve to be called heroes, right?" Sintaro smirked and remembered what Ziel had told him. But suddenly they trembled at the sound coming from within the thick smoke where Brolia had been hit by the explosion.
"You are indeed worthy of being called heroes. The title is not to be called, but to remember those of you who will die today." Brolia walked out of the thick smoke while holding her ax in her right hand. Her left hand was missing and her face was burnt from the explosion. Her face was currently filled with anger. Divine power overflowed from her body. This made the heroes and the others tremble from the pressure she exerted.
"What!?" Sintaro and the others were shocked after seeing Brolia come out alive from the center of the explosion.
"This... How is that possible!?" Kyouka couldn\'t believe what she saw.
"What exactly are you!?" Hikaru tried to stay calm with the situation in front of him. But his heart panicked because the great danger was before their eyes right now.
They regretted celebrating the victory first. The heroes and the others were already unable to fight. Amalgam is no longer active. They have resigned to what will happen to them now.
Brolia raised her ax with divine power compression and swung it at them. Thick aura blades shot towards them. The heroes and others closed their eyes and were ready to accept their death. But a metallic sound made their eyes open.. They saw that the aura blades had disappeared and Brolia was currently impaled by 5 adamantium rods in every part of her body.
