Chapter 129 - 31
The capital of the Dwarven Kingdom looked modern and organized but was currently in ruins. Half of the capital had already been razed to the ground from the rampage of the giant golems.
Right now King Auva and his two children were in the castle tower. They were watching a giant golem fight with an unknown black-robed person. His face was currently very gloomy looking at the situation of the Dwarf Kingdom's capital.
"Father, what are we going to do next?" Prince Torin asked worriedly. He couldn't bear to see the citizens of his kingdom being slaughtered like that. Some areas of the capital even look very pathetic.
"Yes, father. If it stays like this, there will be more victims later." Princess Melkia also felt the same way as her brother. She was worried not only for the safety of her kingdom's citizens but also for the academy students they left behind in the Golem Manufacturing Facility. She didn't know what their current situation was there. Even though she knew someone had suddenly helped them, she still couldn't shake off her anxiety. After all, they were her new friends. At first, she didn't want to go back to the castle, but because her father forced her, so she reluctantly followed his orders.
"Hmm... For now, we can only see from here. The protection in this place is the best in the Dwarven Kingdom, even one of the best on the continent. We can take advantage of their fight." King Auva couldn't let his two children out of the castle for now. He was worried that they would act recklessly out there.
King Auva knew what the two of them were thinking. Therefore after he found them at the Golem Manufacturing Facility, he quickly brought them back to the castle. Luckily there were academy students who could buy time for them to escape. They could only watch the battle from afar because the situation there was very dangerous.
"But...the students are still there, father. Is it okay to leave them? Aren't those students the guests we invited?" Princess Melkia couldn't believe what her father said. He seemed to be sacrificing the people of the academy for his safety.
"Haa... Unfortunately, we can't do anything about it at the moment. So all we can do is watch them from here. But when the situation begins to subside, we will immediately send soldiers to help." King Auva shook his head and looked helpless.
"But father..." Princess Melkia still couldn't accept what he said. She felt his father was a bit strange at the moment.
"Enough! For now, we just have to pay attention to this battle. If the golems are defeated by that black-robed person…Torin." King Auva looked at Prince Torin with a serious face.
"Yes, father." Prince Torin was confused because his name was suddenly called.
"Take a good look! When the black-robed person defeats the golems, you go there with the soldiers. But if the black-robed person loses, this castle must immediately enter a state of emergency and defend with full strength." King Auva gave his orders to Prince Torin.
"That..." Prince Torin wanted to disobey his father's orders. That would be tantamount to neglecting the safety of the academy students and seeking luck in this incident. He understood that his father wanted the giant golem's technology.
"This is an order!" king Auva said coldly to him.
"Yes, father!" Prince Torin answered in a trembling voice after hearing his father's tone. Princess Melkia is also afraid to see her father like that. King Auva nodded after seeing Prince Torin's response.
They focused on seeing the battle between Ziel and Rosier's giant golem. They were shocked because Ziel managed to repulse the giant golem. The most astonishing thing happened, Ziel managed to defeat Rosier's two giant golems without leaving a corpse.
"Damn it!" King Auva subconsciously shouted because his plan seemed to be falling apart. He had imagined getting technology from one of those golems, but Ziel destroyed it. He removed the golem without a trace so they wouldn't get the slightest bit of technology out of it.
"Torin! Quickly gather the soldiers! We're heading there!" King Auva gave his orders in a hurry. Right now there was only one giant golem left. Then he had to get it no matter what.
"Yes...father!" Prince Torin was shocked after hearing his father's screams. He looks really angry right now. When they were about to leave that place, a great shock occurred.
Boooooooommmmmm!
Something fell from the sky. It was the same size as Rosier's giant golem. The creature had an appearance that sent chills down the spine.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!"
King Auva and his two children were speechless. Their bodies trembled with fear.
"What is that creature?" King Auva's voice trembled and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
***
Back to the battlefield where Ziel and rosier fought. A creature of the same height as Rosier's giant golem descended from the sky.
Boooooooommmmmm!
The place shook violently at his arrival. What came down from the sky was a giant humanoid who had 3 faces and 6 hands. The creature that appeared was Asura. A mythological creature from Ziel's homeworld and famous as a race that seeks power and is hostile to the gods.
"Didn't he say Asura before?" Kyouka muttered under her breath and confirmed what she heard to the other heroes.
"Yes. I heard the same thing." Hikaru nodded slightly. He was shocked to see one of the mythological creatures from his world appear in this world. The other heroes also nodded in response.
"King Gustave, Principal, is there such a being called an asura in this world?" Kyouka asked to confirm all her speculations.
"Hmm... I've never seen or heard of such a creature on this continent. How about you Merlick? You've been traveling around the continent for quite a while before you became Principal didn't you?" King Gustave shook his head and looked at Merlick who was thinking about something.
"I'm pretty sure there's no such creature in this world." Merlick answered firmly. He worked as an adventurer since he was very young. All the kingdoms and places he has visited on the Clorius continent. But still, he never remembered there was a being with such a name and form in this world.
"Haven't the teachers heard of it either?" Kyouka looked at the teachers who were also listening to their conversation. Not only the teachers, but the students were also interested in what Kyouka asked, including the Princes and Princesses.
The teachers looked at each other and then gave the same answer as King Gustave and Merlick.
"What's going on? Do you know what kind of creature it is?" Merlick was getting curious about the reason Kyouka asked them that. It was because Kyouka looked serious and it seemed very important to her.
"I know. To be more precise we heroes know. Because that creature is a mythological creature from our original world." Kyouka answered Merlick's question honestly. She answered happily because she felt that he had found hope of returning to their original world.
"What!?"
"That creature is from the world where the heroes come from?"
The academy students whispered and speculated about the meaning of Kyouka's words.
"That means..." King Gustave said in a deep voice. He felt this was quite important because there might be another kingdom secretly summoning heroes from another world.
"You're right. I'm sure he and we are from the same world." Kyouka answered with certainty and firmness. She had confirmed this from them and there was no way anyone from this world could know the name and form of an unknown being. Unless he was from their homeworld.
The princesses were shocked when they heard Kyouka's conversation with Merlick and King Gustave, especially those who knew Ziel.
(Eh? From another world? From the world where the heroes came from? Ziel is a hero? Wait a minute, those heroes once asked about the food he cooked. So that's true)
Princess Freya was confused after hearing the information she had received at this time. But everything Kyouka said did make sense. Princess Freya intends to ask Ziel directly later.
(A hero? Ziel is a hero? Wasn't he born and raised in this world?)
Princess Aishia muttered in her mind. She had known Ziel for a long time and knew where he came from. She was shocked because she was sure that the information from Anna, Ziel's adoptive mother was true. Ziel was found by Anna on the way home from Aurelia kingdom. But for some reason, she felt that she couldn't refute Kyouka's statement.
(Hmm...it makes sense that he is a hero with that kind of power. Especially with the evidence at hand and the food from the world of heroes that he had cooked beforehand)
Princess Iris nodded and immediately agreed with Kyouka's words. Apart from them, Lilith and Rhea also have feelings that are not much different from the princesses because they know Ziel's true identity.
Back to the fight between Ziel and Rosier. Currently, two giants were standing face to face. Ziel flew beside Kalya to see what he created. This was the first time he had manifested a creature like this.
"Ziel, are you okay? You used a lot of spirit power." Kalya is worried and holds his hand. She could sense before that Ziel was releasing an incredible amount of spirit power.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry." Ziel patted Kalya's head to calm her down. Kalya just nodded and felt relieved after hearing his answer.
"What is that creature?" Rosier asked Ziel. This was the first time she had seen Asura.
"I have no obligation to answer your questions. Asura..." Ziel said coldly to her.
[Rampage]
"Aaaaahhhhhhhh!"
Asura disappeared from its place and appeared in front of Rosier's golem. He punched the golem in the face. It didn't stop there, the other five hands hit Rosier's golem in turn until Rosier didn't have a chance to counter the attack.
"Ugh!" Rosier couldn't help but see the continuous attacks that kept hitting her.
"Don't underestimate me!" Rosier's golem emitted a shockwave that forced Asura to keep its distance from it. But it was only for a moment as Asura attacked her again.
A spear materialized in one of his hands. He did a series of stabs at Rosier's golem.
Clank... Clank... Clank...
As expected, Rosier's golem body was extremely hard. Asura's attacks did not affect her at all.
Seeing the opportunity, Rosier's golem caught the spear that was aimed at her. And intends to shoot laser beams from her eyes. But she forgot that Asura had the other 4 hands. Suddenly an ax strike landed on Rosier's golem head.
Clank...
Unlike the previous attack, this attack dealt quite a bit of damage to Rosier's golems.
"What!? How could you hurt…" Rosier stopped her words after seeing the lightning spark on Asura's. She gritted her teeth as she understood what had happened.
Golem Rosier also took out her weapon. She held two large swords in his right and left hands. Golem Rosier charged forward to attack Asura with incredible speed. He swung his greatsword at Asura's head but was quickly parried by him. Golem Rosier swung another sword, but the same thing happened. Asura parried it with the ax he held in his other hand. Asura who still had two hands-free quickly counterattacked. The weapon currently used by the asura was a mace.
Boooooooommmmmm!
Golem Rosier was blown dozens of meters away from Asura's mace strike. There is a dent in the golem's chest. But golem Rosier immediately corrected her posture and counterattacked Asura. Their battle right in the center of the Dwarven Royal Capital caused even more damage. Fortunately, King Auva had evacuated the residents. Otherwise, the number of victims would be incalculable. Right now more than half of the Dwarven Kingdom's capital was destroyed.
They moved very fast while clashing their weapons. The shock wave caused by their clash of weapons made the environmental damage even more severe. It wasn't long before they kept their distance from each other.
"I will destroy you with this kingdom!" Rosier shouted in annoyance. Two large magic circles appeared above Rosier's golem. From the center of the magic circle appeared a cannon-like object. Energy from the surroundings began to gather in front of the two cannons and gradually formed into a dense ball of energy. Space distorted around that ball of energy.
[Divine Canon]
"Shoot!" Rosier shot the ball of energy with tremendous power at Asura.
