BXBX NOVEL Chapter 198 - Knock Knock
"W-What happened?" Yuki asked as he woke up from his slumber.
"I see you\'re finally awake" said Scar who was still trying to survive the cold temperatures.
"Did I kill those golems?" Yuki asked his team mate.
"Yes you did. However, the explosion you caused made it so that the other snow golems which were in the area gathered around and started chasing us. I miraculously found his small cave thing inside of the mountain and managed to get us inside of here. So basically we\'re hiding out until you manage to recover the rest of your strength?" Scar explained to Yuki.
"Well, I\'m all better now so we can start heading out. Wait, where\'s my sword," said Yuki as he looked down at his hand and realized that even after he passed out, he managed to hold on to his treasured blade.
"Are you sure though? If all of them begin to attack you all at once, you\'ll have no choice but to run away again. Let me take it from here. My strength should be more than enough to kill all of them with little to no difficulty. Even if I somehow were to get in trouble, I could drink A potion and-" Scar began to explain his plan before Yuki stopped him.
"No! This is my battle, I will defeat every single one of them. I wanted to deal with them without having to rely on any potions because it looks like I will have to go against my first plan," said Yuki as he opened his inventory.
[Open inventory]
Yuki took out a full status recovery potion as well as a 5 strength boost potions and lastly, 2 speed boost potions before drinking all of them at once and bursting out of the cave which Scar managed to create so they could hide from the golems.
"Sure, I\'ll cover you from the back," said Scar as he followed Yuki out of the cave so that they could fight against the golems which were composed of both ice and snow together. Luckily for the two of them, there were 3 ice golems waiting for them outside. However, seeing as they had found their targets, the ice golems cried out and managed to call the remaining 17 golems from the surrounding area.
"Scar, can you distract all of them for a second," Yuki asked his teammate, who agreed without hesitation. Scar quickly leaped towards one of the ice golems before kicking it in the face, in turn gaining the attention of the other ice golems as well. While he continued to dodge all of their attacks without a flaw, Yuki began to set up an extra large explosion which would blow even most of the mountain to smithereens.
"Activate ability: Fire control"
Using his ability Yuki covered "Fallen angel of hell" with his fire before next pumping his treasured blade with his stamina, in turn causing a red transparent aura shield to form around "Fallen angel of hell" which was already covered in flames. Once that was prepared, Yuki once again covered "Fallen angel of hell" in his flames even though the red shield was already on it. Once he had done so, Yuki pumped more of his stamina into the blade to cause a second shield to form around the blade. Yuki continued to do this until 10 shields had been formed around "Fallen angel of hell" and Yuki was once again on the brink of passing out.
"Scar! Get out of the way!" Yuki commanded which the Scar who managed to get beat up pretty hard did as he was told so that Yuki could raise his blade in the air before slamming it down on the ground. Seeing his opportunity, Scar grabbed Yuki before leaping far away from where "Fallen angel of hell" was.
Now that everything had been set up, Yuki continued to use every last bit of his stamina to increase the amount of flames inside the first layer of the transparent shield until it began to expand. Even though it was clearly dangerous, the ice golems just looked at the blade as if it was an odd toy. Seeing as the ice golems had huddled around the blade just as Yuki wanted, Yuki snapped his fingers at the precise moment that the shields began to burst like a big explosion.
All that was left of the area which Yuki had caused to explore was just smoke. Once it had cleared up though, Yuki could see the heads of 19 ice golems laying on the ground. Except for one ice golem which was still remaining.
"Dammit, drop me down back there, I\'ll take care of it-" said Yuki but passed out before he could finish his sentence.
"Why do you always bear the burden which both of us can do together? Just let me do something to help you out for once," said Scar as he laid Yuki on the snow on the side of the mountain before he got in a runner\'s pose. In the last moment, right before the golem focused its eyes on them, Scar kicked himself off the mountain and gave himself the push he needed to send himself down towards the ice golem like a missile.
"Die," said Scar as he placed his fist forward and punched a whole right in the middle of the ice golem\'s chest.
Once Scar had killed the final ice golem, he placed all the heads of the ice golems which were on the ground into his inventory before picking up "Fallen angel of hell" and trying to place it in his inventory as well so he could hold on to it until Yuki woke up. However, the item refused to shrink, let alone get placed inside Scar\'s inventory.
"I guess it has to do something with his powers," said Scar as he decided to carry "Fallen angel of hell" in his left hand before going back to where he had left Yuki and carrying him with his right hand and taking him back to the teleporter.
...
"I assume that he was too weak for the mission?" the teleporter asked Scar.
"Actually it\'s the opposite. He ended up overdoing it and passed out. We managed to get 15 more ice golem heads than we were supposed to thanks to him," said Scar.
"Wait, you\'re not here to retreat but instead managed to clear the quest along with get double more that you were required to?" the teleporter asked Scar with his face completely baffled as he couldn\'t believe what he had heard.
"Ya, I mean why would that be weird?" Scar asked.
"Missions like these take several days at minimum. I can tell you\'re a couple levels above the requirement but I still thought it would take you at least 4 days to finish this. That\'s not all but you weren\'t even the one who did most of the work but it was instead your weaker team member!" the teleporter began to yell which got the attention of several more ice golems in the area and caused them to start rushing towards the teleporter.
"Oh oh. Quick! Grab onto my shoulder and I\'ll teleport us out of here," said the teleporter which Scar listened to and also placed Yuki\'s unconscious palm on top of the teleporter just in case.
Right before the ice golems should bite off Scar\'s, Yuki\'s and the teleporter\'s heads, the three of them managed to teleport away just in time so that they could survive.
Once they teleported back to the kingdom, all 3 of them fell on the ground from barely surviving in the nick of time which got the attention of everyone who was there.
The teleporter quickly got up so that his reputation wouldn\'t be ruined and began to tell Scar the cost of the trip which Scar agreed to and paid him the money before dragging Yuki back towards the home which he, Yuki and Avila were staying at. Even though it was the middle of the night, Scar continued to walk towards his home as someone was waiting for him and Yuki so he couldn\'t afford to take a break.
...
"I guess those two must have gotten a mission. They\'ll probably be out for a couple of days. Not that it matters. I\'ve had a wonderful day of my own filled with hard work. I managed to get all the furniture we needed and even set it up. I stocked up the fridge and even cleaned the whole house. Who says I need their help for anything," Aliva thought to herself as she continued to eat her dinner in the dining room.
...
"I hope she\'s not mad at us for not telling her that we would be gone for so long," said Scar as he knocked on the door of the house which was now where he lived.
*Knock* *Knock*
Not even two seconds later, the door opened as Avila had rushed to open the door to see if her new teammates and roommates had returned.
"Hi there," said Scar as he smiled before passing out himself and falling down inside the house with Yuki who himself was still unconscious.
