Chapter 21：Yman wished for a knight in shining armor, but... (1/2)

He has 10% stamina left and he was currently pushing the boulder to drop it off of the cliff.

The boulder made a shaking motion as it slowly lifted from its position.

Instructor Goki fixed his gaze at the young man trying hard to push the boulder. Even the other trainees were watching him, they were wondering what he was doing. Not all of them were smart enough to figure his motive.

Goki had no plan to stop the battle if the one battling did not give up. This year was a vital year for the academy. So they needed to be strict at training them.

Seconds later...

GOOOOOHHHHOORRRR!!! The ground rumbles when the golems start running towards Yman's direction while howling in weird sounding noises.

Since Yman was the nearest among them all. He was the next target of those golems who he lured to Kiko's group. After Kiko gave up, they had lost their target again and needed to find a new one that was nearest them. In the end, it backfired at him. His only chance now was to drop the boulder at the cliff - faster as he could.

Kiko and his group scoffed at him. They were wishing for that person they hated the most to fall on the cliff together with those golems.

Yman's heart skipped a beat when he heard the familiar howls of the monsters. He took a quick glance at the back and saw them charging towards him. His heartbeat started racing faster - he hastily used his full strength in order to quickly drop the boulder.

Veins appearing on his face down to his neck - as he was exerting his full strength to roll the boulder. His body was shaking while he gritted his teeth.

Not good if they catch up onto him!

He noticed that Sistela was quiet for quite long. But he didn't care about it. What's important for now was to push the boulder down the cliff.

Because of the rumbling sounds, the other spectators who were not watching at him a while ago had shifted their eyes onto him.

Some were wishing for him to succeed but most of them were wishing for him to fall down the cliff, because of how bad they saw him. Especially the girl named Kesha.

Almina anxiously darted her eyes to the instructors and to Yman. She was worried about what would happen if the golems reached him first. For sure Yman would fall down the cliff if they attacked him.

Everyone was holding their breath! Each of them has different thinking at the moment.

Just a little more push to drop the boulder!

However...

Yman lost strength and tumbled face-first on the ground. He suddenly felt weak and unable to lift his arms anymore.

The resonance has been canceled unexpectedly just before he succeeded!

Looks like the Like Value of his deity towards him had dropped beyond the limit and it auto disconnected their resonance.

Sistela was surprised to find herself back as being a ball-shaped object.

When she noticed the approaching enemies, she was scared and flew in a circle above Yman's head while shouting, . But no matter how loud she shouted at him, he already lost his strength after the resonance canceled unexpectedly. His muscles became numb because of the toll brought for the sudden disconnection.

Yman forces his head to glance at the back. But what he saw were the figures of the golems growing bigger and bigger as they came closer to him.

Hearing the rumbling sound of the charging monsters like unstoppable trains, he grimaced and regretted. Now, even his mouth had no strength to talk. He could not scream to give up and he could only wait for his death.

Deep inside he was wishing that someone would rescue him. Someone like a knight in shining armor.

Bob and the others were shocked at the sudden turn of events. Yman was about to succeed but how come his resonance with his deity suddenly canceled?!

They anxiously looked at the instructors. Even if Bob, Chloe, and Mai would rescue him, they definitely won't succeed because they were lacking in strength. Both of them have average scores on the evaluation exam. It means that their magic and strength were not strong enough to easily kill one of those monsters that were rank C.
