The human-sized golem slashed vertically, generating an energy blade that charges towards us. It shredded through the floor as it fiercely coming to rip us apart. "Dodge!" it's not clear who shouted that, but before they did, I already jumped out of the way. The energy blade crashed through the wall, leaving a crescent mark behind us. "It powers is unbelievable!" Duncan exclaimed, his eyes turned grim, "We need to give it our all!" he said.
"I know", Davida said while preparing a spell. "I'll give you time", I run towards the golem, holding my sword to my side. I coated my sword with aura and thrust it at the golem. My eyes widen, flabbergasted because the golem parried my sword ever so easy. I don't know why, but I felt like the golem smirked at me when it parried my sword. I mean, it doesn't even have a mouth.
Annoyed, I tried kicking the golem with my left leg, but before I managed to do that, the golem put its off-hand at me and blast me away with its aura. I flung backwards, crashing into a nearby pillar. "Eru!" Diane shouted in worry, then she cast a healing spell at me. "Don't! Focus on the others; I'll recover on my own," I cried out with difficulty. "But…"
"Diane, please!"
Diane's nodded and turned her attention back into the fight. Seeing this, I breathe a sigh of relief. I lift my left hand with a bit of a struggle and search through my right pocket. I took out a recovery potion that Davida gave me earlier and gulped it down quickly. As I did so, I felt my body becoming better; at least I can move a little bit better. I observed the battle from the sideline. Seeing the domination the golem did to Duncan and the others, I frowned before taking a lotus position and meditate.
Why did I meditate? I need to replenish my aura, as the flashy move that I did earlier drained me a lot. After a short while, I opened my eyes and sighed heavily. 'At this rate, the battle will be over before I finished replenishing my depleted aura. Looks like there's only one thing to do.'
"System, open status panel."
"Affirmative"
I looked at my FP and found that I have just about 100 FP. "Open shop windows," then, an array of options appeared floating right in front of me. "Go to the items tab" I looked at the technique's tab and found the thing I'm looking for.
'Dragon Force Technique, 92 FP. Effect; forcefully raised the user power for a short while, but after, the user will powerless for a certain amount of time.'
Without hesitation, I immediately bought the technique from the system and streams of information rushes to my head. I squinted my eyes from the pain, but soon, I know how to execute the Dragon Force Technique. I stood up, picking my sword up with my right hand before pressing my forehead with two of my finger, followed by the area below my throat. Blood surged through my veins as I can feel the aura in me swelling up.
The golem was about to land a blow to Duncan noticed me and rushes at me with its sword clad in a black aura. Closing my eyes and immediately open them again. Raven light flashed in my eyes as a raven-coloured aura burst through my back. I slashed my sword forward, forcing the golem to block my attack. The golem got flung backwards, although it wasn't knocked down. I got into a low stance before charging with my sword high at the golem. The raven-coloured aura at my back formed a pair of wings which made my body lighter.
"Aura Manifestation!" Duncan marvelled, "Really a monster!" Davida gasped in surprise while Diane looked blankly towards me. Ignoring their gaze, I strike the golem at its head. With the golem blocking my sword, I send a kick through his abdomen, flinging it further backwards. Creating 2 clones, I let them continue attacking the golem while I jump back, sheathing my sword and charging my attack.
"Interesting!"
The golem spoke, throwing all of us off guard. Its aura rose around its body then exploded, destroying my clones and cancelling my charge attack. "This voice…." I gulped, my eyes wide open while sweat dripped from my forehead, "You're that young lord…."
"Hahahahahahaha"
The golem laughed maniacally, "It seems I had been found out. I'm surprised you don't recognize me earlier." It moved slowly towards me, "You're interesting. So young yet so powerful. Even I, when I was your age, was not that strong. Your aura and technique too…. Hahahahaha" it stopped right in front of me, and it laughs again. "Back off!" I barked, raising my left hand and tried blasting it backwards.
"HA!" the golem shouted; its aura expanded, blocking my aura blast. "What!? How!?" I already used the Dragon Force Technique, bringing my power close to a 5th Grade Aura Master's, but this guy easily dispersed my aura. "Come, entertain me more!" it roared, then strike me with his sword. I managed to block it, but like before, I got sent flying backwards. "Hahahahahaha", it then moved towards Duncan. Duncan's expression was solemn, preparing himself by rousing his aura to the max.
"Get away from him!" Davida barked, sending few giant fireballs towards the golem. The golem easily dodges the fireballs and suddenly changed its direction. "Young miss, look out!" Duncan called out, but it was too late as Davida was already flying. "Young miss!" Diane shouted with worry while preparing a healing spell at Davida.
"No, you don't", the golem appeared before Diane, grabbing her by the neck and slamming her down hard to the floor. "Kakk!" Diane coughed in pain as consciousness leave her. "You bastard!" Duncan roared in anger; he jumped in the air, holding his giant sword up high, "DIE!" Duncan swung down his giant sword down at the golem. To Duncan's surprise, however, the golem catches his sword with his bare hands before throwing it alongside Duncan to a nearby pillar.
"Is that it?" the golem looked disappointed, "I thought you lot were capable of more."
"Then how about this!" I launched a surprise attack, using my aura wings to propelled myself up high, appearing behind the golem.
"Hahaha, as I thought, you're the best one!"
*BOOM*
An explosion occurred, leaving a giant crater below the golem's feet. "Hahaha, not bad. You managed to chip through my aura." It smirked, "How about you try again!" he quickly appeared in front of me and blasted me away, creating a distance between us. He raised his off-hand, "Give me everything you've got!"
"HAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!"
*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*
