With the aid of the three Nightmare Steeds, the rest of the Warhorses finally succeeded in breaking golems formation. Still, while the battlefield might have seed chaotic right now, my golems were all inanimate objects, aning morale wasnt even an issue for them. As long as the command was given, they would never hesitate, even unto death. This was especially true for my Seven-stars who fearlessly charged at the Warhorses instead.
The greatest weakness of the Warhorses laid in their disparate strengths. Those at the lead were Seven-stars who numbered a dozen or so. Then ca the fifty or so Six-stars, of which included my old friend, Warwraith. Other than these core fighters, the rest were Five-stars and Four-stars, numbering roughly two thousand or so.
Naturally, the Warhorses vastly outnumbered my golems. But my golems were magical constructs specifically made for one purpose only: defense. Not only that, their battle strength was leagues above that of a normal Warhorse. Even when faced with a Warhorse of the sa level as them, they would at most co out of that engagent with a scratch. In short, there was no way a bunch of horses would ever even scratch my golems!
Thus, in our first large-scale clash with the normal Warhorses, they lost completely!
These horses were all much bigger than even a battle horse. For example, a Four-stars, when standing completely on two of its hooves, would asure up to over two ters in height. Yet even such an impressive stature was nothing before golems.
One of the opposing Five-star Warhorses tried leading a charge against one of my normal golems. The end result was that my golem simply smacked him away with a slap, like how a kid would when he wasnt happy with a toy
This sa scene repeated itself countless tis. Unless the Warhorse involved was a Six-star or a Seven-star, else they were simply fodder for my golems.
Even with the aid of three Nightmare Steeds, the difference in our strengths was too large.
Blast! Why are these golems all so sturdy Warsight tried stomping down on a spot she had previously attacked. Finally, after several attempts, a crack was ford, though it was one so small that it was easy to miss unless one looked carefully.
We should have the juniors retreat firstthey arent even able to break through their defenses Shade knocked over another Winged Abyssal Golem before suggesting that to Shadowfall beside him. The casualties are mounting
Yes, this has been a huge misstep on our part we should have determined their strength before launching this attack Shadowfall agreed without hesitation, turning his head soon after towards the raging battlefield. Retreat!
Upon receiving that command, and also because their morale had been severely battered by now, the Warhorses promptly gathered together and began backing away.
The situation now was that these horses were basically entangled within a giant army of my golems. But rather than fighting the golems, they were simply getting smacked around.
Ever the smart one, Mo Na imdiately discovered what the Warhorses were planning. She quickly gave the command to stop the horses, but they were just too quick for the lumbering golems. If they were to focus entirely on escaping, there was no way the golems could catch up with them.
Naturally, that didnt an that the Warhorses were completely unscated either. With so many golems and so many Warhorses involved, there were bound to be a few unlucky Warhorses who couldnt escape my golems. All that was needed was one good smack and these Warhorses were left incapacitated.
The golems renewed counterattack was a huge impedint to the Warhorses retreat. Because of Mo Nas command, Shadowfall had finally noticed her existence.
That little Lust Demon over there seems to be commanding the golems, Ill take care of her first, you two keep covering our retreat.
Just as that last word left his mouth, Shadowfall sped off without even giving the other two a chance to reply. His intention was clear: kill off my precious daughter as soon as possible.
Seeing that mass of killing intent gallop towards her, Mo Na tried to scramble to safety from her perch atop a Winged Abyssal Golem. Yet, it was too late. Like a flaming cot, Shadowfall crashed into the golem, sending it toppling over with a deafening boom. One could only imagine how much force was put into that strike.
However, Mo Na had still managed to hop behind another Winged Abyssal Golem thanks to her sharp eyes. All that attack accomplished was cause one of my golems to crash into another of my decidedly sturdy golems.
Mama
Mo Na stuck her head out from behind that golem to call out to . Yet she only managed that single word before she had to duck once more because that Nightmare Steed had just breathed a jet of black flas at her.
With just the rest of touches, that black fla imdiately stuck to the golem. Although it caused no direct damage to the golem, it was able to stop Mo Na from using that golem as cover. After all, her fla resistance wasnt to the extent that she could ignore these strange flas.
She was just a Four-star Primal Lust Demon. While her thods were many, none of them worked against an Eight-star Nightmare Steed. The only reason she was able to last up till now was because she was in the middle of a golem army -of course, her keen instincts also played a part in detecting danger early.
All that changed when that Nightmare Steed attacked with his flas. With no cover to hide behind, it ant she was now open to his attacks
Sinmosa and Sasani noticed her predicant as well. They wanted to rush right over to help her, but they were rely Five-stars; they couldnt stand up to those black flas either. Thus, they were completely useless at this ti. Even when little Cinderel kept yelping at their side, there was nothing they could do.
Mama Mama
My precious daughter had no choice but to constantly hop from golem to golem, her panicked crying stabbing into my heart each ti she called out to . It was as if there was a hand gripping my heart right now, clutching down on it with every syllable she spoke.
B*stard! All it took was an instant for to lose my cool. Yet just as I was about to rush off to save my daughter, a pair of soft hands held back.
Dont go those two Nightmare Steeds are still watching you
The one who stopped was Jeerah. This had to be the first ti she had ever seen angry as well. While I had no way of knowing how terrifying I must have looked, judging from the way she shrank back imdiately, I could tell how bad it must have been.
Still, her reminder had worked. My exploding temper began to slowly cool down.
Like what she said, Warsight and Shade were still eyeing from a corner of their eyes. Their target wasnt just Mo Na. It was as well.
I shouldve expected nothing less from these Nightmare Steeds -they can even coordinate so well with each other without saying a word. They probably communicated their strategies through telepathy.
Shadowfalls deliberate attack on Mo Na wasnt just to help the Warhorses. What he really wanted was to lure away from my golems, else Mo Na would have been dead in that first attack already. A Eight-star ambushing a Four-star clearly, there was no way that Four-star could ever survive.
However, there was still one thing I didnt understand -that black fla which even I wasnt confident about surviving against. If he could use that fla to force Mo Na to dodge around like that, why didnt he just do that from the beginning?
That answer would soon beco apparent.
After spitting out a fields worth of black flas, his speed had noticeably dropped. Not only did his fla-spitting slow down, even his movent speed had decreased. When faced with my golems attacks, he barely avoided them, even coming close to getting hit at tis. Each ti that happened, the bulky fingers of my golems would barely graze the once deft Nightmare Steed, painting a stark contrast to when he could nimbly weave in between multiple golems.
So breathing those flas caused so sort of feedback onto them? That has to be it wait, if that was the case, it still wouldnt explain why they didnt just do that from the start against . Why go through the trouble of chasing Mo Na around just to force my hand?
Are they afraid of sothing else?
Forget it. Whats more important now is rescuing Mo Na.
Alright, alright. I get it. I wont act rashly. Having figured out the nuances, I turned my worried head towards Jeerah and nodded, completely ignoring the lost look she had on right now. I grabbed the Gem of Authority hanging around my neck with my right hand. With my left, I grabbed Jeerahs waist and drew her closer towards . As her body ca tumbling in, her strong scent only got stronger, leaving lightly muddle headed in the process. My left hand instinctively grabbed her harder.
Hey, what do you think youre doing!?
Her reaction was visibly agitated. She wanted to push away but my strength was too much for her.
Stop ssing around, Im just trying to protect you.
Protect ? When did protecting include hugging ? You said you were a male, right let go!
Was she always this pure
Hey, dont forget youre still a Lust Demon. A little skinship wont kill you.
But you just said you are a male! Even though I dont see anything male about you
Did you have to add in that last bit we couldve been friends.
However, I had no ti for jibes right now. Explaining my actions would only waste more ti, and ti was sothing I didnt have right now. Thus, I turned my single arm hug into a double ard one. My left hand was still wrapped around her waist, but my right had gone around her neck before grabbing onto the Gem of Authority.
Theres no ti for explanations. Hop on!
I just said not to hug And what does hop on even an?
Whatever the word ans, of course.
She still had burning questions to ask, but the very next second later, she couldnt ask them anymore. That was because the dinsional shift had treated us less than kindly
