186 Plan Failed (1/2)

Don carefully and cautiously took a step towards the Golem while forming a shield around them to prevent the sound from reaching below.

Each step the Golem took, shook the ground beneath him.

When the golem got closer, it threw a punch at him. Seeing the huge stone hand coming at him, he blocked it using his hands. The moment the golem's fist met Don's hand, he was pushed back several steps and his hands had gone numb.

”Knight, I think I'm facing a peak level grandmaster here”

Realizing that he's facing a peak level grandmaster, he had two choices, first, he could go all-in and defeat the golem but he wouldn't be able to keep the shield on to prevent the sounds from reaching below. The second choice was, he could keep the shield on and fight the golem without making any big moves so Arrora could come to him and steal the scrolls while he's fighting.

”Nightmare, are you finished?”

Knight knew Don's predicament as he wanted to reach upstairs before their fight would alert everyone inside the building.

Unlike the golem Don was facing, the golem before Knight wasn't a strong one as Knight was toying with it until Arrora could finish stealing the scrolls.

”Two minutes”

Arrora was looting like crazy, she didn't even open the scrolls as she sent all of them into her space ring.

The golem was struggling to pick a target as one of them was attacking it while the other one was stealing the scrolls that it was meant to protect.

While Arrora was stealing the scrolls, she felt the shock waves coming from upstairs.

The shock waves grew worse by the seconds and even the ceiling had started to crumble and rained dust shower on Arrora.

”Just stay there, you dumb golem”

Knight pushed the golem with his huge paws as the golem struggled to get up.

”Alright, I'm done”

Arrora quickly ran towards Knight and hopped onto his back as Knight quickly shrunk his size. Before the golem could stand on his feet, Knight blasted him away with a force of airwaves and climbed the nearest wall to reach the floor where Don is in.

”Did you see that?”

One youth who was fighting the golem with Chase asked his friend.

”See what?”

”I think I saw something white running on a wall ”

”Keep your focus on the battle”

Chase's voice ended their discussion as the two youths continued to battle the golem without thinking about anything else.

”Whoa”

Arrora was startled to see the size of the golem that Don was fighting as this golem looked double the size of the golem Knight had just fought.

”Intruders detecte”

The golem started talking when he saw Knight and Arrora but he was cut midway as Knight punched it on its face. However, Knight's punch didn't push the golem back but he was the one pushed back by the golem.

”Are you alright?”

His robes had many cuts and holes and blood was coming out of his mouth corners.

”Quick, take everything”

Arrora didn't waste any time and started to put everything into her space ring.

Seeing Arrora at work, Don snapped his neck and spat the blood out.

”Knight form a barrier around us, I'll finish this fight”

Since Knight could now form a shield around them, he didn't have to use half of his energy and strength to keep the barrier and fight the golem with his remaining strength. Now he could use his full strength to battle the golem.

Hearing Don's voice in his head, Knight leaped away from the golem and formed a barrier around them.

The golem noticed Arrora stealing all the scrolls and it rushed towards her.

When it saw Don standing on its way, the golem raised its hands in the air and tried to smash him into pieces.

Looking at the huge hands coming at Don, Arrora was terrified. However, unlike before, Don wasn't pushed down as the golem expected but he was holding its hands above his head.

The battle energy rushed towards his hands and strengthened his hand by multiple folds. He gritted his teeth and tightly gripped the golem's hands as small cracks started to appear on the golem's stone hands.

Just as the golem was struggling to free its hands from Don's grip, he landed a kick on the golem's chest and sent it flying a few meters back.

The force of his kick almost broke the wooden stands and the balcony but Knight was quick enough to prevent anything from falling down and drew the attraction of the youths below.

And before the golem could steady itself, Don leaped at the golem and started to punch the golem rapidly with his full strength.

”Let's go”

”So soon?”
