CHAPTER 358: DEVIL KING IDOL (1/2)
Mo Na pointed at Jeerah. “Definitely more beautiful than some tramp, right!?”
“That’s right, my baby is the most beautiful of them all!” Really, was there anything else I could do but to agree and nod my head…
“You guys…”
Just as Jeerah was about to defend herself, the Nightmare Steed, Shadowfall, launched a third charge against us. Once more, we ended up in a tangled up mess… that was rather fragrant…
‘Blast it! That’s the third time already… is he about done? Before my pee pee grows back, I definitely don’t need more encounters of the close kind.’

Fuming, I stopped hugging Mo Na and broke free from Jeerah’s embrace. Having straightened myself, I pointed at Shadowfall and yelled, “Attack!”
At the same time that the Fallen Angel Golem stood up, it counter attacked. Unfortunately, the Nightmare Steed was too agile for its attacks. He easily avoided the golem’s swat, and as a taunt of sorts, even gave the golem’s swatting hand a light tap of his hoof.
“Attack! Get him!”
The golem continued flailing about like a headless chicken. However, all its attacks failed to even land a scratch on the nimble Nightmare Steed. Lest one forgot, this same Nightmare Steed had just breathed out a whole field of black flames; even in such a weakened state, my golem still wasn’t able to hit him. It was clear as day how slow the attacks must have been to the Nightmare Steed.
Shadowfall dodged another swat of the golem’s palms, then made a quick turn towards its back and launched a charging attack. His charges up till now had all been at the exact same spot. However, this golem’s defenses were a lot better than my Winged Abyssal Golems’; no matter how many charges he threw, it wouldn’t matter one bit.
On the other hand, this Fallen Angel golem of mine was too slow to even hit that blasted Nightmare Steed. Under such circumstances, both sides were forced to a stalemate that lasted a couple minutes before the other two Nightmare Steeds arrived as well.
Their arrival could only mean one thing: the other Warhorses had successfully retreated. Although their casualty numbers ended up in the hundreds, the fact was that the majority of them had managed to escape from this battle. With their lightning fast speeds, my golems would never be able to catch up to them. That was bearing in mind their decent sprinting speed too. Even if my golems could match them in a straight line dash, the horses could easily make a quick turn and throw off their pursuit.
Naturally, I had no intention of letting them chase after the Warhorses. Instead, I had them protect Sinmosa and her family, and those Devils that Jeerah had brought along… might as well, I guess.
“Ah…” Mo Na and Jeerah gasped in unison before tumbling into a perfect embrace with each other.
This dimensional space was a strange one. It had the effect of restricting flight, which meant that the two of them had no choice but to be thrown about. More annoyingly, this space had no walls either, so we had nothing to support ourselves with.
“Why won’t you… just stay still!”
I commanded my golem to strike at Warsight but it failed miserably in the end. Furthermore, at the same time that my golem swung at Warsight, Shade, who hadn’t joined in till now, took the opportunity to launch an attack at that very same spot again.
The spot they had all agreed upon was the area where the wings of my golem met -an easily recognisable spot. It was also the most difficult spot to defend. Even a person with a normal level of agility had problems defending his back, let alone my lumbering golem.
‘This isn’t going to work at all. I need to find a way to counter attack. This golem seems a lot tougher than my other golems, but if I were to let them continue attacking like that, I can’t guarantee what will happen…’
Yet just as I was about to go on a mulling spree, Ferti’nier popped up, same as always, to remind me of her existence. “Oh little brother, there’s no need to worry that some horsies would ever break this golem of yours.”
