Chapter 197 - Berserker Blade
Once inside the crater where all the snow golems were in, Scar began to engage all of them in battle and he was able to do pretty well on his own as he was vastly more powerful than every single one of them. The only problem was Yuki who was just over the level requirement which meant that he would struggle a lot since the quest was a group quest. Nevertheless, Yuki leaped into battle with "Fallen angel of hell" in hand as he prepared to do battle with the monsters.
After he, himself had made it into the crater and took one of the 5 golems for himself, Yuki realized that he was vastly outmatched. Even with him being a single level higher the the requirement, Yuki was in the desired platform for the ice golems who could take advantage of the terrain. Yuki's only hope was his ability, however if it wasn't hot enough, it would be completely useless.
"Only one way to find out," said Yuki as he leaped backwards and landed on his feet before preparing to do battle with the ice golem.
"Activate ability: Fire Control"
"I don't know if this is going to work but even if it does, it's going to drain me of nearly all my stamina," Yuki said to himself as he began to think of a plan in his head.
"I call this... Berserker Blade!" said Yuki as he covered his "Fallen angel of hell" in his fire before also pumping some of his stamina into his blade which created a red standparent cover around the blade with the fire still inside it. With no other idea on how to win the battle, Yuki threw his blade right at the ice golem's chest and watched as it stuck to the monster but the ice golem was still alive and doing well as it continued to run towards Yuki at top speeds.
"Here goes nothing," said Yuki as he clasped his hands together which caused his "Fallen angel of hell" to explore for some reason. The actual reason why this happened was because first Yuki had infused his blade with his ability then he pumped his blade with his stamina which caused it to act as an insulator for the fire. After throwing the blade into the monster's chest, Yuki made sure that his makeshift bomb would be able to explode right at the target. Once the blade had been pinned into the target, Yuki continued to increase the flames inside the aura shield which eventually caused it to combust, in turn killing the ice golem instantly but also draining Yuki of nearly all his stamina.
"I did it!" Yuki yelled out in happiness as his plan had worked better than he had expected and once he finished with his battle, he went to pick up his blade which was hotter than magma and had smoke coming out of it.
"Hey Scar! Leave the rest of them to me. I want to take them down," said Yuki as he looked at Scar, who was still in battle with the 4 ice golems since they weren't giving him a chance to strike back. Even though they were basically giants compared to him, they still managed to have an astonishing movement speed.
"Are you sure Yuki? They're a bit difficult. If you want, you can just tap them so that the exp would be shared and you'll be able to gain exp too," Scar offered as he continued his battle.
"No, it's not only about the exp. I need to get fighting experience as well so just leave things to me," said Yuki as he began to slowly walk towards the ice golems while his smoking sword dragged across the ice constructed ground.
"Fine, suit yourself. However, if it looks like you're going to die, I'm going to come in and save you," said Scar as he backed off, leaving Yuki to deal with the remaining ice golems which now had their attention turned on Yuki which to them looked like a tasty snack.
"Here it goes. I won't rely on One, or Zero nor will I rely on some stupid potions. This battle is between me and these ice golems," Yuki said to himself as he brought his blade forward.
"Activate ability: Fire control"
Yuki made sure that the flames he used were much larger than the ones he used against the single ice golem since Yuki wanted to dispose of all the other 4 ice golems at the same time. Once the flames had been placed on "Fallen angel of hell" Yuki began to pump all of his remaining stamina into his blade so that a large red aura would appear on the blade.
Just as Yuki had hoped, an enormous red transparent shield-like object appeared around "Fallen angel of hell". However at the cost of having such a devastating weapon, Yuki was brought to his knees after extending way more stamina than he should have ever done. And yet, he wasn't done as Yuki forced himself to stand up on his two feet as he grabbed hold on his blade's hilt with both his palms.
"I don't care how many of you there are, I'll make sure to eradicate you!" Yuki yelled out as he swung his blade from the sky towards the ground making sure that it didn't hit a single one of the ice golems which made the monster laugh as Yuki as if he had failed his mission.
"Berserker Blade!" Yuki yelled out and in that precise moment, Yuki managed to put whatever he had left in him into causing the flames that were inside "Fallen angel of hell" to expand beyond their capability. The ice golems just watched as the strong transparent shield around Yuki's blade continued to expand as it began to lose its shape and form until eventually... it popped.
A massive explosion took place on top of the crater of the mountain. It was even large enough for the teleporter to see it take place and watch in awe as he wondered what kind of havoc the two people who he had teleported were causing.
At the end of the explosion, all the remains of the ice golems were their heads which were forced to stay there due to the ability of whoever was responsible for making the quest papers.
"No way! He actually did it! Even though he had less levels than me, he managed to kill all of them with a single attack... although it looks like it took a lot more out of him than he expected," said Scar as he began to walk towards his comrade so that he could pick Yuki up and take him to a safer location. But before that, Scar picked up all the ice golem heads and placed them in his inventory before finally holding Yuki by the shoulder and bringing him down towards the mountain.
However as the two of them began to descend down the mountain, Scar heard a loud noise behind him which when he looked back, he realized what it was. He had realized why the sound was familiar. It was because there was a group of snow golems behind him. However instead of there being 1 or 2 or even 5, there were at least 20 of them that were chasing after Yuki and Scar.
"They probably heard the explosion and rushed to the aid of their friends. We're going to die if we don't get away from here," said Scar as he continued to run faster but away from where the teleporter was as if the worst were to happen, they would have a way to return home without completing the mission.
So instead, Scar made a sharp turn and began to run towards the other side of the mountain where he was lucky enough to find a small entrance which looked to be a cave. Seeing his opportunity, Scar quickly placed Yuki inside of it then got in himself before covering the entrance with snow so that the snow golems wouldn't find them. Luckily for Scar, that plan worked as the ice golems headed off in another direction while he could stay and take a break to catch his breath.
"I actually did it. You should be grateful to Yuki, I really just saved your life," said Scar in a whisper. Although he wanted Yuki to wake up as soon as possible, he realized that it would be quite a while before he would be able to speak to his comrade once again.
"Oh that's right, he had spent most of his time in the dungeon without sleep then we had to escape into another kingdom from the one where he was being held prisoner. Even after that, he went to have that horrible experience with his host family. Right after that, he had to battle the world's strongest man and now he used all his stamina to fight off 5 ice golems and managed to kill them with a single attack. I guess he really does deserve a little rest," said Scar as he laid his head back on the cave wall.
