Chapter 107 Scouting party 2 (2/2)
”captain”
”what is it Mars?”
”there's something in the well”
”something?”
”well... a bunch of golems”
Vanessa stopped walking and turned to look at Mars
”Mars I'm not doubting you here it's just... how do you know that?”
”well that's...”
*rumble*
just as Mars was going to make an excuse about his energy sense the ground began to rumble
”shit...”
Mars turned to look towards the well that was the center of the of the rumble
”fall back!”
the group quickly fell back and left the borders of the village as the center of the village collapsed and a giant sinkhole appeared, before the dust had a change to settle eerie blue glowing eyes appeared in the dust cloud looking towards the group
”prepare for battle!”
”””yes captain”””
before the group had a change to move rocks came flying with break neck speed out of the dust cloud towards Mars in particular, he didn't panic but easily sidestepped the rocks with [Instant movement] feeling annoyed that the golems were targeting him Mars called out to Vanessa
”I'm going ahead”
”Mars! wait for backup!”
”nope~”
Mars disappeared and soon a bunch of sword glints appeared within the dust cloud as Mars quickly began cutting down the golems but something unexpected happened when one of the golems managed to block Mars's sword
'what the..?'
thinking it was just a fluke Mars slashed at another golem but his sword was blocked again
”shit..!”
Mars activated [Instant movement] and pulled back and as soon as he reappeared he felt his neck hair stand up and quickly ducked down as a sword made of rock passed right over his neck, rolling forwards Mars got on his feet and looked at the golem that had slashed out after him
”what the fuck are you?”
the golem looked like a class 2 golem made out of rock but one thing put it apart from the other class 2 golems and that was the rock swords it carried in its hands, there was also something about its eyes that was different almost like it had intelligence form the way it looked at Mars with a calm gaze before it dropped one of its swords and took a stance with it remaining sword raised high
”oh, so you want to play?”
Mars also took a stance as his body slowly transformed into its half dragon from before he kicked off the ground and clashed swords with the golem
*CLANG*
*CLANG*
*CLANG*
after 3 high speed exchanges Mars found that the golem clearly knew swordsmanship and clearly had a high level in the skill, but alas that was all it had
”done testing you out now, so DIE!”
Mars sent out a slash that clearly was higher speed the the rest and cleanly cut the golem in two before he picked up the mana stone but just as he was about to absorb it he saw from within the dust cloud another 5 golems holding swords charge out at him
”looks like the fun just started”
Mars stood his ground and held his sword as the golems surrounded him seeing the 10 swords pointing at him from all sides Mars felt a little pressure but all the pressure did was making a grin form on his face before he shouted as he raised his sword
”COME!”
the golems charged at him at the same time all attacking different points on his body in a coordinated effort to kill him, unfortunately for them their oppornet didn't play fair and disappeared right before they managed to cut him down at the same time a thin sword line crossed over the golems as they all suddenly halted and paused for a moment before they all turned into pieces of harmless rock, Mars reappeared a little away and took a deep breath before he mumbled
”so [Instant movement] can be used on body parts individually and not just on the whole body...”
Mars looked down a his arm, it was covered in fresh blood that dripped down on the desert sand, seeing this Mars gave a smile as he tightened his fist
”looks like the backlash is something else...”
Mars looked up again and noticed the dust was settling and his view expanded out so he could see the rest of the group
”wait what's that?”
Mars quickly noticed Vanessa's armor suit was keeled over and the others were gathered around it, Mars quickly headed over and when he arrived he saw Vanessa was out of the suit and was looking angry when she spotted him
”Mars!”
Vanessa stomped over towards him
”yes?”
”this is the last time you disobey orders or I will have you kicked out of my squad is that clear!?”
Mars was a little take back but quickly nodded his head
”yes captain”
