"Attack together!!"
The White Waves attacked the Shackled Realm expert of the Red Matter together. Various combat arts and spells were used at the same time.
"Argh!!"
The expert couldn't hold it anymore. The barrier around him was full of cracks and it was going to collapse any second.
"Break!"
Souta slashed his sword horizontally and the barrier was shattered.
Boom!
Before the expert could react the Vice-Captain of the White Waves attacked once again.
Boom! Boom!
"For the final blow..."
Souta went behind the experts and pierced his heart with his sword. Then, he pulled it and shot [Bestrou] at point-blank range.
Boom!
Another expert of the Red Matter had fallen.
Souta exhaled and he glanced at the Vice-Captain.
"Hey, I have something to tell you." He said.
The Vice-Captain turned his head. He was wondering what Souta wanted to say.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Can you inform the other squads and Grain Leader that the Red Matter have [Titanous Victor Golem]?" Souta paused before he added, "We don't have much time so I can't explain it in full detail but I'm going to say that we capture some of the enemies and learned that they are preparing the [Titanous Victor Golem]."
The Vice-Captain's face turned into shock then he became serious. If Souta was right then he didn't have any time to inquire for more details.
"I want some people to investigate the area to find any link regarding the War Golem. We have to stop it at all cost no matter what happens." Souta said with a grave look.
The Vice-Captain calmed himself before he nodded.
"You are right. If there is really a [Titanous Victor Golem] here then it would cost us a lot if we didn't stop its activation."
"I'm glad that you understand." Souta sighed in relief. "I'll help you kill one more Shackled Realm before I left."
"That will help me a lot." The Vice-Captain said.
Both of them charged ahead. The enemy already lost two One Shackle Realm experts so they had a huge advantage in terms of power. They just needed time before they could clean up the Red Matter.
Souta used various skills to entrap the Red Matter while the Vice-Captain attacked with his subordinates, then Souta delivered the final blow.
Just like that, another Shackled Realm died in his hand.
'They would be able to take a breath with this so I have to go now.' Souta said inwardly.
He turned to Vice-Captain. "I'll go now. Send some of your people to inform the other squads."
"I understand. Thanks for your help, warrior." The Vice-Captain nodded as he patted his chest.
Souta flew away without looking back at the White Waves. He knew that the reinforcement of the Red Matter will arrive soon but he was going to leave those people to White Waves.
He already helped them kill three One Shackle Realm experts. It was enough.
Glancing at the system, he saw that he only had eight minutes left before the activation of the War Golem.
He could shout to inform everyone about the golem but that would make the Red Matter focus their defense on the golem. It will become harder to stop it if that happens.
It's better if Athena's warriors acted like they didn't know about it. While some of them were trying to find its location.
Huff~
Looking at the entire place, Souta recalled the event in Ladros City back then. The only difference was that the scale of battle in Ladros was higher than this one.
At that time, he was just a person that could barely fight an A-rank. But now, he could even kill a One Shackle Realm expert without using all of his aces.
Souta opened his palm and ten black energy spheres appeared.
[Shadow Ball]!
The energy spheres flew in every direction.
"So where should I start it?"
Souta was two hundred meters above the surface looking at the surrounding area. He had no idea where he could find the [Titanous Victor Golem].
'They couldn't hide a giant golem easily. The War Golem's size was one thousand meters so the only place they could hide it was...
Underground.
It should be easy... The problem was the activation.
The battles already scrape layers of earth in this place yet he hasn't seen a single thing related to War Golem.
Swoosh!
He teleported to another place and continued to observe the area. If the War Golem was buried here then it would be deeper than he could imagine.
There were craters with a fifty meters depth here yet he couldn't find anything. The attacks from One or Two Shackles Realm experts wouldn't be able to destroy a part of the War Golem. Only the Grain Leader has enough firepower to destroy it.
A minute had passed and Souta had already teleported to five different places. This time, instead of observing, he decided to go underground himself.
Swoosh!
[Burrow]!
He continued to dig the area with the help of his skill. When he passed one hundred meters, it was getting harder to dig. He could feel that the layers of rock were full of mana making it tougher. It left him no choice but to coat his hands with a huge amount of best feram.
Bang!
Souta fell and landed with a loud sound. He realized that there was a huge wide space here.
"There's a place like this here?"
He muttered as he looked at the hole above. He was probably six hundred meters below the surface.
"I think this is the right place."
Souta tapped the walls with his hand. It was tougher than he imagined. It was probably enchanted with some sort of runes as it didn't collapse even with the fierce battle above.
There were only two paths before him. He glanced at the left side before he focused his attention on the right side. He could see mana flowing from this direction.
It seems that there was a source coming from this direction. It would be great if it was the activation of the War Golem.
Souta checked his body first. He could probably use [Element Drive] for three minutes and that's already his maximum. He already used it when he fought three experts before so this was understandable.
And he had six minutes left before the start...
It was enough as long as he didn't meet a person above his level.
Well, he shouldn't worry too much. This was only a side quest. This mission to annihilate the Red Matter already gives him three quests from the system. It was a good bargain. Unfortunately, the chain quest was what he wanted the most.
Souta walked forward. His senses were heightened and his perception was trying to detect if there was anyone close to him. The information coming to his head every second was enormous. It will be hard to process it anymore if he tried to look through everything with his [Galaxy Eyes].
'If you could use the tenth form then you wouldn't have a problem with that.' Saya said to him.
Souta didn't even hear Saya's words as he was focused on the information he got through his perception.
Suddenly, he stopped moving.
"Three people... Two of them are at One Shackle Realm while the other one is at Two Shackles Realm."
He muttered with a grave look.
Two Shackles Realm. A level of Squad Leader like Leilus from Blue Cross Squad. It will be a tough battle.
'Should I try to call reinforcement first...'
Souta looked back and then glanced at the remaining time in the system. He closed his eyes and tried to feel the remaining [Shadow Ball] on the surface.
But he couldn't feel any of them anymore. His [Shadow Ball] was just an inferior-rank tier 2 spell. The buff from his class made it stronger but the shockwaves from above could easily destroy it. Even if he tried to hide it, the intense pressure in the atmosphere would destroy the black spheres.
This was the reason why he could barely use it in a high-level battle. The aura of a One Shackle Realm expert alone would destroy the black sphere before it got away.
It would be a different matter if he activated the equipment skill of [Yin Yang Bracelet] which could boost his dark attribute spells and combat arts by 500%.
"Let's do this..." Souta took a deep breath and seven humanoids rose from his shadows.
[Doppelganger]!
He sent three shadows above to call for reinforcement while the other four would help him in battle. These shadows only had 70% of his physical strength. They couldn't even use his skills so the only thing they could do was to keep the enemies busy while he kills them one by one.
"Good..."
Souta dashed forward. He didn't need to hide anymore. He was prepared to fight the three enemies ahead. Using his strength, he will try to finish it as soon as possible.
While he was dashing, several skills were activated one by one. All the skills within the Second Mode.
"It's thrilling!"
A grin formed on his face.
