Luis hid behind a boulder, his heart rapidly beating. The three adolescent golems roamed the terrain near the baby rock golem he had to protect.
Behind Luis were the 9 golems that were injured from the previous days. Their movements were very slow and unsteady because of their legs, making them act only like obstacles in the terrain.
"The three with no injured legs will be very fast compared to the injured ones. I just have to get their attention make sure I run in a straight line through the injured golems without them hitting me and hope they smash into the other golems because they are not smart enough to run in not straight lines. I need to do this really really fast."
Taking deep breaths, Luis looked from behind the boulder with rocks in his hand, grabbing many pebbles in case he missed.
Even after all this running while using aura to strengthen his body and be less fatigued. Luis had not run out of aura he still had half his reserves, he was just not efficient enough to utilise all the aura properly he could only imbue 2 of his limbs at a time.
The pebbles glowed with a white glow of aura, It took him 7 throws to get the attention of all the golems.
2 golems were already half way to Luis and because of how long it took Luis to hit the third.
"Alright... come on Luis yelled, taking off in a sprint.
Luis sprinted toward the nine injured golems, the three golems behind him shakes the ground with their footsteps.
As Luis got closer to the injured golems, he slowed down a tiny bit scanned the ground too make sure he would not trip on anything and zoomed past the first 2 injured golems zigzagging his way through, being fast enough to avoid its swinging arm.
The golem behind him was not as nimble as Luis he collided full speed with the slow moving golem sending shattered rocks flying.
As the rocks were flying Luis was already running past the next 2 golems, which also missed as they tried to grab him. The second golem then smashed in two the 2 injured golems as well with its single minded pursuit. However its moment carried it to the next 2 as well.
Now Luis was on the final 3 he zigzag dodged them again but unlike previously the missed punches ended up hitting each other, making them all knock each other out.
Luis had not looked back this entire time, focusing on solely running and dodging.
After running past all 9 golems Luis came to a halt on a small steep hill, his legs felt like they were burning, his breathing was heavy but the sounds Luis heard made him believe his plan worked.
Looking back as the dust disappeared, the injured golems all seemed immobilised or reduced to rubble. One of the three golems was completely destroyed, one had cracks on its body, one of its arms destroyed but its legs were fine
Sadly the last golem was completely unharmed.
The golems eyes glowed as it climbed up the hill. Luis's legs wobbled from exhaustion.
"I… can't run anymore" he muttered as he wiped the sweat from his forehead."
The completely non injured golem reached the Luis first it swung its fist in a wide arc. The stone arm smashed into Luis's arms as he got his fists to block the attack with aura.
But he was not fast enough in using his aura he heard a crack as he was sent stumbling backwards, his arms felt like they were exploding in pain.
Had he not have had the baby rock golems blessing right now, both of his arms would have been completely shattered.
"Shit!" he cursed while gritting his teeth.
The golem then pinned Luis against the boulder with its bulk. Mustering all his energy Luis pushed the golem back as his body was screaming in pain. With his left hand not moving properly he used all his aura on his right hand and punched the golem in its head, the golem shattered in pieces.
But before Luis could relax the golem without a hand came at him next, before Luis could defend the golem punched Luis in his ribs, he heard a sickening crack as he rolled down the small hill.
Luis gasped for air, he could only get up to his knees, his vision blurring and both his arms not moving.
By now Luis had lost all believe that aunt Sera would help him and he had run out of patience all he wanted to do was take this golem down even if he had to go down with him.
As the last golem lunged at him, Luis used his last remaining strength to lunch at the golem head first, he was taller than the golem so even without being fully up right as he lunged, his head matched the golems head level. Using as much aura as he could on his head Luis smashed his head against the golem, the head of the golem shattered, its body fell lifeless let to the ground. But so did Luis right afterwards.
Luis body trembled in pain and exhaustion, his arms felt useless, he bled from his mouth and arms. But before he hit the ground a arm wrapped around him making him lean against something on the ground. A liquid was being poured in his mouth that made the pain lessen and put him at ease. Right before he went to sleep he heard a sound.
"Good job Luis, you should rest now you earned it"
