CHAPTER 353: A TEMPERAMENTAL NIGHTMARE STEED (2/2)
“Protect me.”
I was already prepared for her attack this time around. With just a simple command, my Winged Abyssal Golems formed a tight ring around me. In fact, they barely left any breathing space for me at all. The only reason I could see the sky was because they had their arms raised!
With the coordination of my golems, they easily blocked that hot headed Nightmare Steed with sheer brute force.
“Have a taste of my flames then!”
Yet just as it looked like she was about to ram into my wall of golems, she suddenly stopped mid-air and breathed a cone of black flames at me.
The black flames crashed into the golems like a tidal wave. So strong were these flames that they didn’t need anything other than air to burn. Yet the flame resistance of the golems were simply too strong for it, reaching the point of complete immunity.
The golems brushed off the flames on their bodies. The moment they did so however, the flames stuck to their hands. Even though the flames had no way of burning through the golems, they showed no signs of extinguishing either.
‘There’s something up with these flames…’
“Curses!” Seeing that her flames were useless, the Nightmare Steed immediately switched tactics, choosing to try out her melee attacks once more. Unfortunately, there were a tad too many golems around me for her to break through. Finally, she had to give up after several tries. Even though my golems only had the combat strength of a Seven-stars, anyone would still feel the pain if one of them sent a giant slap flying their way. After all, even a Nightmare Steed’s sturdy constitution didn’t mean that it could completely ignore the titanic strength of my golems.
Still, no permanent damage was done. Just like before, my golems were unable to hurt her.
“Hey…those two Nightmare Steeds are at least Eight-stars right… there’s no way you’ll beat them…” Just as I was considering my next plan of action, Jeerah suddenly broke her silence. However, her eyes weren’t on me at all. Instead, they were on those low level Devils of hers who had all but fled at this point. “Those b*stards aren’t reliable at all…all they ever do is suck up to me, but the moment the going gets tough…”
“That’s just the nature of Devils, this is a fact that is hard to change. Besides, your Psychic Enthrallment isn’t up to par yet. Unless you keep your eyes on them at all times, it’s easy for them to break free.” I gently gave her a shove. “Take shelter with the golems first. Their target is me so they probably won’t try and attack you.”
