Chapter 130 - 32
Two large energy balls shot towards Asura. The two energy balls were compressions of Rosier's divine power. Ziel narrowed his eyes at the attack of the Rosier golem. He could feel the immense destructive power of the two energy balls. He stretched out his hand and created a barrier in front of Asura and the academy students.
[Impenetrable Fortress]
Booooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
A huge explosion of divine power engulfed the entire territory of the Dwarven Royal Capital. The shock from the explosion was felt in the surrounding area. Rosier's golem attack was strong enough to kill a true god. Smoke and dust filled the entire area of the Dwarf Kingdom's Capital which was hundreds of kilometers wide.
Rosier's golem looked at the place where Asura was standing before. She was sure of her finishing blow. Moreover, she saw that Asura did not dodge her attacks at all. Her eyes remained fixed on the spot to make sure Asura was hit by her attack and died. The next thing she will do is kill Ziel.
The smoke and dust that covered the entire territory of the Dwarven Royal Capital were slowly dissipated in the wind. The current Dwarven royal capital was razed to the ground from the explosion from Rosier's attack. At this moment Rosier narrowed her eyes to the spot where Asura was standing before. Rosier frowned at seeing the shadow in that place. Not long after, she was surprised to see Asura was not scratched at all by her strongest attack. A gray transparent fortress of a tremendous size covered Asura.
"What!? How could you withstand an attack with divine power!" Rosier was surprised to see Asura standing there in good condition. What surprised her was the transparent fortress that blocked her attack because divine power attacks couldn't be blocked with barriers that used mana or aura. Divine power could nullify mana and aura that was the source of strength from a barrier.
Currently, the humans of the clorius continent do not know the true horror of divine power. That knowledge has been lost to the times or was deliberately omitted by certain people. So when they were attacked by divine power and defended with a barrier made of mana or aura, it was tantamount to them resisting the attack directly with their bodies. That made Rosier confident with her attacks.
Fortunately, when Ziel fought Azael at that time, Azael couldn't fully unleash his divine power until he manifested a god ring. Otherwise, Ziel wouldn't be able to win against him.
"Impressive. How long did it take you to accumulate that much divine power in the Clorius continent?" Ziel pretended not to hear her question and asked her back instead. This made Rosier even angrier.
"This time I will finish you off!" Rosier's golem generated two more magic circles above it. But before that happened, Asura was already behind her without her noticing. Asura slipped in the smoke and dust that was still scattered as Rosier chatted with Ziel.
Asura thrust the weapon towards the golem's back, the weapon he currently wielded was a large sword. He stabbed right where Rosier was inside the golem's body. Rosier quickly canceled her attack and dodged when she realized the danger behind her.
"Damn! How can you be so fast!" Rosier didn't notice at all as Asura moved. She could only feel his presence when he had attacked her. She was currently in a corner as Asura continuously attacked her without giving her time to counterattack.
While Asura was fighting fiercely, the academy students froze at the current state of the Dwarven Royal Capital. What they saw in front of them was just a vast plain with no buildings or trees except for the castle tower of the Dwarven Kingdom. The castle tower is still there because it is located far from the center of the explosion and the tower had issued a barrier at full power during the explosion. Even so, the castle buildings couldn't avoid being completely damaged. There were lots of cracks in the castle walls.
"Where did the royal capital of the Dwarven Kingdom go?" Megumi muttered looking around where she was standing. She could only see empty land around her.
"The capital is still here. Only the situation has changed. Except for everything inside this gray fortress." Kyouka touched the surface of the barrier in front of her. She frowned as she thought of something.
"This fortress is not made of mana or aura. Did the Principal or King Gustave know about this?" kyouka asked Merlick and King Gustave. She still doesn't know much about the Clorius continent. The knowledge she gains in the Rubelia Kingdom is very limited. She didn't know what powers existed in that world as well as the races that lived there.
"This is Spirit power, the power that comes from nature. Usually, only elves can use it." Merlick explained everything he knew about the thing Kyouka asked.
"So, you mean that person is an elf?" Kyouka became confused after hearing Merlick's answer. He was sure that the black-robed person who was fighting Rosier was a person from the same world as them. But if Merlick said he was an elf, then Kyouka's assumption was wrong beforehand.
"I'm not sure. But almost no human can use spiritism. Especially to the point of being like that black-robed person. Because even talented elves don't have Spirit power like that person. That's why I'm confused whether he's an elf or a human. But most likely he was an elf." Merlick didn't know much about it either. What he knew were the basic things about spiritism that the previous Elf Queen had told him.
"Hmm... So it doesn't necessarily mean that he's an elf. Isn't that what you mean?" Kyouka tried to get a definite answer from him. Merlick nodded slightly in response to her question.
"Maybe you can just ask him straight away if you're curious. Of course, after he won against that giant golem." Merlick pointed at Ziel next to Kalya.
"Will he answer?" Kyouka raised her eyebrows. For some reason, she hesitated to ask him after seeing his strength.
"Maybe you can ask Princess Aishia for help. I think she knows him. I saw her talking to him at the Alba Mountain range." Merlick also didn't know what relationship they had. But he was sure that Princess Aishia knew the black-robed person.
"Okay. I'll ask her for help later." Kyouka nodded and looked at Princess Aishia who currently never took her eyes off Ziel. Strangely, Kyouka felt that it wasn't just Princess Aishia who was like that, but Princess Freya and Princess Iris who were also within her line of sight. But she quickly shook her head and threw away that thought since it had nothing to do with her. Kyouka intended to ask Princess Aishia for help after the fight was over and they were safe.
Kyouka returned to focus on Ziel and Rosier's fight. Asura and Rosier's golems were still clashing their weapons and moving at a speed that was hard to catch by the naked eye.
"Hmm...I think if you keep fighting like this it will take more time." Ziel muttered after seeing the fight between Asura and Rosier's golems in a stagnant state.
"So, what do you want to do? If it stays like this won't the damage get worse? Even though for now only the castle tower can be seen in the entire area of the capital." Kalya looked around and smiled bitterly. She didn't expect the Dwarven Kingdom's capital to become a ruin.
"Certainly ending it quickly." Ziel released a tremendous amount of spirit power and poured it onto Asura.
(This is... An astonishing amount of spirit power. How could he not be exhausted from expending that much power?)
Silphy who was inside Kalya's body was shocked to see the power that Ziel showed.
"Ziel, are you okay with that much spirit power?" Kalya was worried after hearing what Silphy said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. The golem was a bit troublesome since I couldn't use mana or aura. But this is the amount of spirit power I can tolerate." Ziel calms down Kalya who looks at him with worried eyes. Kalya nodded and gripped Ziel's hand tightly.
After receiving spirit power from Ziel, suddenly a suit of armor formed on Asura's body. Weapons appeared in each of his hands. Currently, Asura wielded 6 weapons. Swords, spears, maces, axes, sickles, and tridents. Asura moved many times faster than before and swung his 6 weapons alternately at Rosier's golems. Not only speed, but his strength also increases.
Clank... Clank... Clank...
"What!?" Rosier was taken aback by Asura's sudden change. This time she was pushed back by Asura's successive attacks and most of his attacks hit her. Rosier wasn't aware that her divine power was running low and one of her golems' abilities to nullify magic would be lost as well.
It wasn't long before Rosier's divine power dried up and the golem's ability to nullify magic also disappeared. Ziel saw the opportunity and accelerated Asura's attack on Rosier's golem. Even though it was running out of divine power, Rosier's golem movement was still very fast. But finally, Asura was able to catch it and temporarily stop its movement.
[Earth Chain]
From the ground where Rosier's golem stood, dozens of gigantic chains appeared and locked her legs, then her hands. Asura quickly kept his distance from her. The other chains locked onto Rosier's golem waist, then her neck. Currently, Rosier's golem movement was perfectly locked.
"Ugh! What is this!? Damn! My golem ability has been disabled!" Rosier clicked her tongue after learning what had happened to her. She couldn't calm down because Ziel's attack wasn't over yet.
[Three Face Blockade]
From underground slowly emerged three gigantic statue heads surrounding Rosier's golem from three sides.
"Let me go!" Rosier became panicked after seeing the head statue's appearance. She felt danger in her current situation if she didn't break away soon.
The three head statues created a triangular barrier and locked Rosier's golem in the center. The mouths of each statue opened.
[God Incineration]
From the mouths of each of the head statues spouted flames of a different color. Grey, white and black. The three flames became one and burned Rosier's golem.
"Do you think a fire like that can burn my golem? Don't dream!" Rosier was still struggling to break free. Even though she said confidently, she still felt a dangerous feeling from the flames.
What Rosier feared came true, the golem's exterior started to melt little by little. Rosier became frightened when she realized it.
"Damn! let me go! I'm going to get out of this golem... Eh!?" Rosier was shocked because when she tried to get out of the golem, it was like she was trapped inside and couldn't get out.
Rosier's golems were burned continuously and little by little the skeletons of the golems were visible. The academy students were amazed at the fantastic sight before their eyes. The giant golems hundreds of meters tall were burned to the point of melting. The students didn't expect the bodies of such tough golems to be crushed.
"Hmm... I'll borrow your skill Azael." Ziel looked at Asura. All the weapons Asura was holding disappeared and were replaced by a large sword with a long hilt. Asura held the sword in his six hands and brandished it. Ziel released his mana and aura and poured it into the greatsword. He wanted to directly destroy Rosier's golem but he had to get closer to him first. Ziel didn't want to do it because Rosier's golem still had the trump card inside. It was a suicide bomber that was enough to level the entire dwarf kingdom's territory. Ziel didn't want Rosier to be cornered and carry out a suicide blast.
Ziel's mana and aura coiled around Asura's sword and slowly enveloped it. Ziel compressed his mana and aura until a thick gray light formed on Asura's sword.
[Breaking the Sky]
Asura swung his sword at Rosier's golem. The gigantic aura blade shot out at an incredible speed and reached in front of Rosier's golem in the blink of an eye.
"Damn you!" Rosier cursed as she realized she could no longer dodge.
The giant golem was torn apart along with Rosier who was within it. The gigantic aura blade caused huge scars on the ground like an abyss along its trajectory. Rosier's golem that had been split in half fell in different directions. The three head statues that sealed Rosier disappeared, the battlefield finally calmed down. But suddenly the footsteps of many people were approaching the place and the sound of someone waking them up from the shock.
"Sorry, we're late! We've come to help!"
