Moved to its back and stabbed with the black sword. Without stopping, I followed with a horizontal slash.
In other words, the core turned natural sand into rocks, and molded it into a humanoid form. That’s why no matter how hard I attacked the outer shell, it received no damage since the attack didn’t reach the core. Only an attack that directly damaged the core will knock the body down.
Where the hell was its core located? I thought of a solution immediately, but I had no power to do it myself,
I guess back then, since there were people of Heart’s territory on the line, I couldn’t afford to lose in that battle. However, if I continued to fight like that, I wonder if I could survive till this afternoon.
Apparently, Greed had the same idea. He liked to joke around. But when it came to battle, he always payed attention to his user, me, properly. Although the way he talked was still as annoying as usual….
『Then、go ahead』
As I looked at the two arms that were flailing away in the air, a thought came across my head. This was too easy, wasn’t this supposedly a battle against Crown-tier monster? The ones I fought before were so much harder, this was like cutting meat and those were like crushing bones.
『Fate、retreat as far as you can!』
The sand golem acted almost immediately. Its body expanded, then ejected countless rocks from its body in all directions at once at a blinding speed.
[Kuh]
A rock larger than my body was moving towards me at a terribly fast speed. I jumped up in the air so that I wouldn’t collide with it.
Well then. I think I understand how the sand golem fought for quite a bit. This was good training
The floating core of the sand golem was attracting countless rocks back to it. It started to reform itself.
[Che、again]
But since I saw that coming, now that my eyes had gotten used to it, I should be able to do something with my agility.
『Fate! Scythe form』
I made a huge swing when I tried to sever the core.
Knowing that it couldn’t win, the core slipped itself to the ground and made its escape. I was dumbstruck by the escape.
However, you can’t escape far. The Sand Golem had been decided as the main dish today. I’ve stored to much hatred that to miss it, this hatred would not be solved so easily. If I let it escape, another warriors group will eventually come across to it, and damage would surely be incurred.
Even if it’s somewhat impossible, it had to be done. While thinking that I switched to the bow form.
Unreasonable, as usual. Well, if I don’t do it now the sand golem will only go further away. There is no time to hesitate.
[Evaporate!]
And then, the bottom of the ravine turned into a sea of flame. Because it sent up a large amount of smoke, it was hard to breathe for a while.
While wondering if I managed to kill it or not, an organic voice rang on my head.
Oh, not only the sand golem, all the sandmen that the arrow had passed through were also killed in the process. Luckyー!
[Did, did you do this……一what on earth……where is the sand golem?]
Then, as if waiting for that right timing, the core of the sand golem fell right in between me and the leader. The core was badly cracked, and the color had turned from red to blue.
[There it is、what’s the matter?]
Meanwhile, the warriors that has been assembled to help me dropped their jaw, as if they’d forgotten how to breathe.
