Chapter 166 - 161.2 : Matchless Pair (1/2)

The situation was getting worse by the second. One's Stamina would become astronomically high if they broke through to the Spirit Realm, so if it is just slamming their weapons fiercely on a barrier with a minimal use of powerful skills, then they can continue doing this for a long time if not forever.

The Gargoyles didn't have forever of course, however, from the looks of it, the barrier wouldn't hold on for much longer either, at most, it'll hold for a few more minutes.

The atmosphere became tense as some prisoners were shivering and others were begging Taliya and the other warriors to lay down their weapons and surrender but to no avail.

Despite the cold and resolute look Taliya was showing, she was feeling desperate too and hoped that Arthur would wake up soon. She didn't have absolute confidence in protecting her niece from the Gargoyles and this Vyncent, who didn't stop staring at Alina since earlier and they were not just simple curious glances but ones full of malicious intent.

The 2m long Scimitar viciously struck the dark barrier as it shined with yellow light with every strike, slowly but surely, a small crack was forming where the sharp point of the scimitar stabbed. The crack further spread as Esdik increased the potency of his attacks.

The Dark Barrier should have been shattered a few minutes later, however, due to Esdik's powerful nonstopping attacks, it shattered earlier than predicted. The Regiment Commander expanded thirty percent of his Nether Energy and power to finally get rid of this obstacle.

Uyo, the staff-wielding Batallion Commander only relied on his superior Strength to strike with his long staff, he was clever and wouldn't use his Nether Energy when the fight hasn't started yet, especially when the strength of the enemies is still unknown.

In fact, the behavior of Esdik was rather irrational but that was due to being horribly humiliated in front of his subordinates, if he didn't get rid of the barrier, he would not have been able to retrieve the bit of face his had lost.

”Protect the princess!”

Taliya yelled at Lucas when the barrier was shattered, thirty brown-robbed figures launched at them from all sides, fortunately, Taliya and Alina were between Arthur and the Golem, so it wasn't easy for the brown-robbed to reach them unless the either got rid of the Golem or Lucas.

Surprisingly, Mary was also going to fight, she put the sick Sonia near Arthur and retrieved her axe without hesitation. She couldn't just watch the enemies injure Arthur or her best friend.

The unwanted clash occurred at last when Esdik stabbed his scimitar at the motionless Death Golem.

From his point of view, this weird Golem was strong so he didn't hold back at all, furthermore, he was enraged due to the Dark Barrier so that caused his attack to be more fearful.

A yellow aura twirled around the sharp curved edge of the scimitar which stabbed at the head of the tall Golem. The attack was swift and deadly, alas, Esdik was surprised to see a strange black book appear right in front of where his scimitar was going to hit.

A weird looking rotten hand came out of the book and literally stopped the outburst of his attack. His hand felt numb and his body lost its balance as he was in midair.

Before Esdik could retaliate, the motionless Golem used its large hand to punch the small figure of Esdik. The punch had a yellow light around it just lie Esdik's attack.

The Regiment Commander, who never expected the Death Golem to be this fast, could only try to cross both of his hands in front of his chest to block but that was totally futile as his body was sent flying like a kite for a hundred meters before he rolled on the ground and somehow managed to stop himself from being pushed any further.
