Chapter 193 Destroying Spider Golem

The second set of attacks launched by the sparkling-crimson axes was even more brutal than the first one. Eren disappeared from his position and appeared behind the spider golem before attacking its exposed upper abdomen that was shining with the exoskeleton.

Screeeeeeeeee

New firebirds appeared in the surroundings and launched themselves at the golem spider's head. Some of the lightning hounds from the pack that was acting as the perimeter detail also attacked the spider golem.

Bzzt. Swoosh Boom.

Eren's multi-front attack rained down on spider golem and Halder by proxy at the same time. It became destabilized as a result. It lost three out of its 8 limbs and was almost about to topple. But then the earth-element mana converged and limbs were recovered over time as Eren kept fighting with the giant spider golem.

However, one could see that the spider golem wouldn't be able to keep up with Eren's barrage of attacks. The recovery speed of the golem was slower than the damage-over-time Eren was dishing out on it.

"Unbelievably sturdy, aren't we? Never mind. I'll break this toy soon."

He smirked before summoning the Bear armor. He then started casting his Hex spells. A new form of control and clarity was brought to Eren when he started casting his Hex spells. He felt like he had much better control over what he was doing.

'Damn. This high I feel… this control… this power… is addicting.'

Eren thought to himself before disappearing from his position. The lightning streaks that struck the spider golem's exoskeleton-protected abdomen at Eren's previous place cracked the surface and created a cloud of smoke.

'This pale-pass bastard has gotten faster than before.'

Halder realized as he tackled Eren's increased attacks with his fine golem control. He started losing more of the golem's body parts after Eren started attacking it from various angles at once.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

The other Spiders decided to take a closer look at where the constant explosions were coming from. They were shocked to find out Eren was soloing Halder's spider golem all by himself using so many attacks at once.

"How… how the fuck is that guy powering so many spells?"

Shima asked Rollo who was fighting beside her against the barrage of firebirds and lightning hounds. Every time they tried to approach Eren who was fighting on the other side of the isolated space from them, the firebirds and lightning hounds surrounding them would go into suicidal mode.

"Must be this wretched array we've found ourselves in. It is providing the boy with a constant supply of mana through another runic imprint. His mana core is liable to get affected by doing something like this but I guess he doesn't care."

Rollo conjectured while separating himself from the firebirds and lightning hounds coming at him. He was a metal element ranker with knight class. But he couldn't make full use of his class.

That's because every time he cut the Alfem or Taranbiest with his summoned swords, they would just destroy themselves. The newly summoned creatures will soon take their place. After some more instances like these, Rollo kept wondering if Eren was a summoner instead of a battlemage.

Now all Rollo could do was depend on Shima and her water element spells to offset his disadvantage while he guarded her.

"Hm. That makes sense. But we are just wasting our time fighting with summoned creatures like this. That bastard…"

Shima was interrupted in her speech because she was attacked by firebirds. She created another water wall around herself and Rollo before attacking the firebirds with her water spikes. The approaching Taranbiests were handled by Rollo's less effective but persistent summoned-sword attacks.

Shima looked around herself and was a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of summoned creatures she and Rollo were surrounded by. Their persistent attacks had given them some breathing room.

She took a deep breath before saying what she wanted to say.

"That white-haired bastard separated us by making us attack him at various places before launching his offense. We thought that we were attacking him. But he was just playing with us. This distances us from each other.

Now we need to congregate. Half of us can establish a joint defense line against these summoned nuisances, and the other half can attack him. The way things are progressing, it won't be long before Halder…."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just when Shima was talking about Halder and beginning to look in his direction, she heard the sound of a huge detonation coming from the same direction. She had her eyes opened wide when she saw what had taken place where Eren and Halder were duking it out.

Eren simply overwhelmed the spider golem with his summoned creatures.

The non-stop attacks from Alfem and Eren's axes destroyed Halder's spider golem. The dwarf was using a golem array in conjunction with his spell. Eren's consistent attacks simply broke the array and made it impossible for Halder to keep the spell on.

"You finally came out!"

Eren said, taking a long breath. He looked unperturbed by the number of efforts he had to put in to destroy the dwarf's spider golem. His mana circuits were indeed stressing themselves. But he was fine overall.

"You fucking…"

Blitz Steps

Twin Star Arts

Igni Wave

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Halder found himself defending against Eren's ax attacks before he could finish cursing him.

Clang. Swoosh. Skitch.

Before Halder knew it, he had multiple wounds on his body. Even with his mana-based Ax-wielding martial arts, he could barely defend himself against Eren's erratic attacks.

Jeet Kune Do was seamlessly merged with Twin Star Arts. Eren only had the orange and red blur of weapons surrounding him as he fought with Halder. The sparks of metal meeting metal flew around both the rankers as they started using their mana-based martial arts against each other.

They used their movement spells to stay on their feet and give an edge to their attacks. But one could tell that Eren had Halder's beat when it came to speed and agility. It was only Halder's premium-grade armor and his runic broadaxe that were keeping him alive at this point.
