Act: 41
The red beam had disappeared, and the golem moved its head from looking at Taku, now focusing on Oto.
"Hehe... That's the first time I heard you yell. Don't you dare think I will go down that easily?"
Before the beam had hit, using his Star he shielded himself, which luckily managed to save him. Standing up with a ferocious look in his eye he was ready for the golem this time.
"I didn't think I would find myself using this technique but it's about time I give it a test run."
His Star appeared in front of his palm creating a wand, called Frozen Pain. Grabbing it out of the air by the handle and spinning it around while glaring at the golem. His body flared up with a faint amount of Star energy that was a light bluish color.
The tip of his wand began to shine. Manifesting and overlapping his school uniform was a long trench coat that was the same light bluish color that covered his body, alongside a pair of blue boots. And a necklace made of ice crystals that were the same color.
"The ice prince is here!"
Oto stared at him with a surprised look.
He started off the fight in an instant. Running forward to the golem, stepping in the air, and following underneath his feet were blocks of ice that shot up from the sand allowing him to climb up. The golem swung its arms aggressively at the ice trying to knock Taku off balance. He made one last jump, grabbing his wand with both hands and swinging it up and down.
"Hammer Time!"
Clear ice formed over the wand taking the shape of a double-faced sledgehammer. Swinging it down as hard as he could at the golem's head, unfortunately, it responded quickly putting both arms over its head and blocking the hit, but the impact was still enough to push it back, though not enough to crack the armor.
Putting its arms down and facing its palms towards Taku. Charging up and firing its hand cannons once more at him in the air.
"Not done yet!"
Creating ice under his feet he surfed around in a circle avoiding the beams and directed straight for its hands. Changing the hammer back into the wand he cast another move for the golem.
"Ice Shard."
Pointing the wand forward, the Star appeared firing a bunch of icicles that the golem simply blocked with both of its arms again.
Hopping off his ice slide and landing back on the sand he threw his wand to the ground creating a ton of ice pillars that shot from underneath the golem lifting it in the air while the other pillars continued to stab at it rapidly. Taku picked up his wand pointing it to the sky.
"Damn what a tough golem you are! Time to end this, Glacier Bombshell!"
While the golem remained in the air, spiked balls half the size of the golem itself came crashing down on it.
"And that's the end of you. My win again."
*VEEERN*
The eyes of the golem turned to a dark red. It grabbed the ice pillars that kept on hitting it, breaking them into pieces. Its legs remained still while its waist spun around to face the ice balls. And its arms merged connecting and creating some form of arm cannon that blasted an orangish-red beam, disintegrating all the ice, and in that same session, it spun back around thrusting midair, redirecting and heading straight to Taku.
"What the.!?"
He was stunned, more nervous than ever about this golem. Oto's arm twitched, as he proceeded to yell at Taku who was getting ready to fire another shard of ice at the incoming golem.
"Taku wait-"
He slowly turned his head over to Oto, confused, and then it hit him, his eyes widened as he saw the afterimage of the golem manifest in front of him.
"Shit-"
*ERRONRN*
The golem swung a punch at Taku, though he was able to summon a wall of ice in time to stall the punch, although its arm cased through breaking it. Pieces of the ice flew around cutting him on the face and arm. Quickly trying to back up Taku was ready for the final strike.
"Frozen-"
A scuffling noise came from the golem.
"D-ie"
Its chest opened with an additional hand springing out, snatching Taku. It jumped back and sprung itself up in the air with Taku being pulled along.
"You think I'm done! I've got more ice where that came from!"
Unfortunately, the golem wasted no time. Its body clanked around and began to spin rapidly causing Taku to become discombobulated. All the spinning ended up making him lose grip of his wand as it flew out of his hand and off in the distance. However, the golem seemed to be one step ahead, the back compartment opened firing out a thin missile that targeted the wand, making contact and destroying it into pieces.
*click*
The back compartment closed, and it jolted to a stop the golem raised its extended arm high up and threw him straight to the ground, right after that it fired a beam from its chest where the arm was incinerating the ground where Taku got slammed at.
Oto watched helplessly but too was caught off guard by the beam that sent him soaring back from that blast pressure.
"... that hurt... Taku...!"
Lifting his head up he watched trying to see through the gray smoky cloud that reminisced from that reddish-orange beam. Seeing the golem drop to the sand and slowly walk up to Taku's unconscious body.
*Thud thud.*
Feeling the vibrations in the sand from each stomp. Oto stood up quickly sprinting over to him, ignoring the minor pain that sparked in his upper body.
"I'm sorry teammate, I couldn't help... My star it's… Just too unsafe to use in certain conditions. But watch, I'll save you this time!"
Oto had whispered to him, knowing that he couldn't hear him.
Removing his headphones off his head, he placed them over Taku's ears, leaning over and changing the dial to the left until it lit up green.
'This will protect you.'
He picked up Taku, moving him aside from the ash and adjusting his body on the sand hoping he'd be more comfortable here rather than laying in the sand that was burnt.
The golem let out a screeching noise that may have echoed throughout the field. Sounding like metal scraping against each other, an eerie noise that intended to phase Oto, but to the golem's surprise, he didn't flinch nor budge.
'Do you understand what I am? Yeah, that's right I'm your new target and I will stop you!'
"Star..."
He whispered as quietly as he could.
"Activate."
Looking up he shouted out to the top of his lungs. Appearing on the outside of his cheeks was a small Star with a yellowish-green color that got bigger and rotated, as his mouth opened wide. The golem's body burst into pieces, quickly rebuilding itself before the core was visible.
The quiet tone in his voice changed, becoming much louder than before as he spoke up. He was no longer worried about his surroundings.
"So that's it? That orb is your weakness."
While it had rebuilt itself the golem once more broke into pieces and had been confused again it began to charge at him while not completely built.
Reaching its arm out to grab him.
"Don't you dare."
The arm crumbled and Oto dashed out of the way while it continued rebuilding its body parts.
"I have to hit you with everything I've got...!"
