Chapter 444 The Perilous Errand (XI)
BANG!
The attacks of the Diamond Golem are slow but very heavy that even Sigma who has a very high amount of defense is having a hard time dealing with it. Her defenses are high enough but it's not high enough to continuously tank damage coming from the Diamond Golem. The others are looking for chances to get close to the Diamond Golem's head but they are always being interrupted by the golem itself.
Sigma is the one tanking the damage dealt by the diamond sword, but they can't do much against the shield. It might not be as strong as the sword but the damage it inflicts is still quite high that even Hagane and Iron are having a hard time keeping their HP high enough. Not only that but they also notice that the durability of their shields is getting chipped every time they tank the damage from the shield.
"No matter what you all do, you can't defeat me. My body is one of the hardest materials available and I am made from it. If you wish to even defeat me, you all had to do better than that."
BANG!
Sigma once again catches the giant sword's strike. And for the first time, she didn't get to handle the strike and she was sent flying. She fell to the floor multiple times, creating destruction every time her body lands on the floor before she was ultimately stopped by a wall that halted her body from flying very far. She puked blood after that. But despite that, she immediately stood up and cast [Heal] on herself. It's not as potent as the [Heal] that Clerics have but it managed to increase her health a little bit.
"Heh, you bastard is really pushing me to my limits," for the first time, Sigma grinned crazily.
She gazes at her Greatsword, snapped and broken by the strike earlier. Seeing it made her grin menacingly before she pulls out another greatsword. The Greatsword that Bladeheart has given to her during the time he is giving out equipment for everyone before they are going to do the quest. It has a white luster in its blade and it's not as heavy as it looks. It didn't have much design compared to her last weapon was just broken but it certainly had some sort of charm to it. She refused to wield a weapon that was created by Bladeheart because she knows how strong the effects of the weapons he creates and she might become reliant on it but now, she has now a reason to use it after her last weapon is broken.
Chase arrives alongside Iron as he heals Sigma back to full health.
"Thanks, Chase, I still have a bone to pick on this guy. Time to get serious."
The first plan that Sigma made is for the Paladins to tank the damage. If the power of the attacks is fatal to the Paladins, they will proceed to the second plan in which she will be dueling against the Golem while the others will take their time to obtain the core. And currently, they are doing this plan.
Sigma started dashing toward the golem and when the golem is about to make another slash at them, Sigma arrives in time as she catches the sword's strike with the new Greatsword.
"I see that you are still alive human," the golem didn't expect the one it sent flying earlier would be able to stand back up and fight.
"You think you are a really strong golem? You must be joking huh?"
The golem tried to increase his force to make Sigma's greatsword cave in from the power however, it seems she already has predicted that move and tilted her greatsword while still handling the diamond sword, the diamond sword slipped through the blade of the Greatsword and that act alone activated one of the passive talents the greatsword has.
SWISH!
With a single swing, the diamond sword was deflected and the golem for the first time staggered. Sigma didn't stop there and squinted her eyes before she unleashed a holy energy beam slash.
"[Divinity Cutter]!"
CRACK!
For the first time, the strongest and one of the hardest minerals that exist in the Alternate World has been cracked. But even after that, Sigma didn't stop and released another flurry of attacks closer to the head. She used the chains to jump around and went straight to its head.
"HA!"
One stab and the sword penetrated the head of the Diamond Golem. The sword is just beside the core. One wrong move and the core will break to pieces, ending their quest to failure.
"Now!"
As Sigma is currently on its head, the others took this chance and pulled out the cores from earlier. It might be useful for something else, but Sigma decided it must be better to use it against the golem himself.
"This is a game over for you!"
"Pesky humans! How dare you all try to resist me!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BOOM!
Explosions continued to occur on its lower legs. It is strong enough that the golem's legs which shouldn't have been scratched or broken by any weapons and explosives started to show damage.
"[Cross of the Heavens]!"
Giant Cross fell directly to the golem. Still, that didn't do anything as the golem managed to block it by using its shield to block the giant cross from falling to it directly. But as soon as the golem tried to move, it didn't notice the chains that are tying up its diamond legs. It didn't expect the chains and before it can even move forward, it fell to the ground and the ice started to creep into its body.
"GAAAAAAHHHH!"
Sigma continues to press her sword further into the golem's head as she stomps its eyes. Her stomps are strong enough that the moment she stomps on one of its eyes, it cracks causing the golem to scream in pain.
"Looks like it's our win, diamond golem."
