Chapter 195: Retreat

Date- 26 Mar 2321

Time- 13:28

Location- Sky Blossom City, Lion Cubs High

Seeing the Mountain golem descend from the sky at a physics bending accelerating speed I thought it was about time school staff or the principal himself made an entry but to no avail, they were a no show but the school building started to glow with a blue hue forming a thin layer of protective cover covering over the buildings. Seeing this the students on the rooftop recording and streaming who had run into the school building for cover cheered as they returned to the rooftop and boldly resumed their recording and streaming the descending ball-shaped mountain golem.

The Bright Lions delinquent gang members run into the school building for cover long ago leaving behind their three leaders. For some reason, the brighter brother did not run for cover showing that they were confident facing the 13 meters wide ball which was about to hit the ground at a high speed. Soon I knew why as I saw all the 101 mud golem combine forming a mud dome covering the three brothers.

I could easily escape into the school building for cover by the time the mountain golem impacted the ground due to the obvious flaw in the glasses blondies final move, Attack Speed. I don’t know how the glasses blondie planes to cover this flaw during the tournament but for now, it was a fatal flaw as during this period I had enough time and chances to disable or kill the three brothers, indirectly killing the Mountain golem and the Mud golems. Making the whole point of this move mute.

But I did not plan on running for cover as this move of the mountain golem though intimidating and deadly was not enough for me to be worried about. Stone viltronian titan though a stone elemental with the ability to take shape of an organism upon coming in contact with the blood of the said organism also adapted the other physical abilities of the organism. In the case of the Stone troll was Troll’s resilience and strength and in the case of a Stone Viltronian Titan, it had almost all of the abilities of the calamity daughter core along with its stone elemental abilities.

The strength of an A rank Stone Viltronian Titan was equal to a 1 million years old Viltronian Titan or a Card Lord. So when the ball-shaped mountain golem finally neared the 21 meters tall Stone Viltronian Titan with an incredible descending force the Titian raised its arms and caught the mountain golem forcing the descending golem to a stop. As the Titan caught the ball-shaped golem in its descent a shock wave spread out of the area of impact. The ground underneath its feet cracked and trembled to form an acute earthquake. In the process, the force of the descending ball-shaped golem transferred to the ground through the Titan who halted its descent.

The school building remained unaffected by the acute earthquake though the same could not be said for the schoolyard which was cracked and had huge footprints in it. As for the students, they couldn’t be happier due to the sudden turn of events that were too shocking and thrilling. They all focused their grimoires on the explicitly sculpted broad stone shoulders of the Stone Viltronian titan which carried a small mountain half of its size. This scene was just mind-blowing, to their surprise what happened next was crazier.

“Stone Viltronian Titan use Stone Maiden”

The gaint humanoid stone elemental which just caught the ball-shaped mountain golem summoned a giant stone maiden and threw the mountain golem in the casket. As soon as the mountain golem entered it the Stone Maiden closed automatically immobilizing and trapping the body of the mountain golem. Later the Stone maiden ploughed into the ground.

Since his summons Mountain golem’s body was immobilised and trapped in the stone maiden which ploughed into the ground the glasses blonde like his youngest brother slender blondie had no choice but to cut the connection between his origin card and the entrapped body of the mountain golem. Thankfully he was inside the mud dome and people could not see the tantrum he was throwing having lost despite using his strongest move.

I wanted to make use of other moves I had thought of earlier using stone elemental manipulation of the stone viltronian but presently I did not have a move as capable as a stone maiden in terms of immobilizing and trapping enemies. Thanks to the Hive AI connecting the parent and daughter calamity cores I could effortlessly and perfectly relay my thoughts and instructions to the stone Viltronian teaching it various ways to use the stone manipulation skills in a matter of seconds.

After dealing with the mountain golem I asked the Stone Viltronian Titan to claw open the mud dome sheltering the three Bright brothers it was time for their punishment. But to my surprise after opening the mud dome it turned out to be empty, then I hurriedly used my soul pupils to locate the three brothers. If I let them escape this time even though I had won it would not be a satisfying win. Since the Bright brothers vanished in the mud dome which was in the middle of the schoolyard the only place they could escape to was underground.

It did not take me long to locate ten humanoid-shaped soul pathway arrangements deep underneath the schoolyard. Out of the ten humanoid-shaped soul pathway arrangements I located three had souls but the other seven were soulless. The three with souls should be the three brothers and the other seven should be mud golems helping them dig an underground tunnel for them to escape.

The three brothers had no other choice but to escape. The strongest of them their elder brother glasses blondie and his mountain golem were defeated by their opponent. The Bright brothers though arrogant had enough intelligence to know when they had to flee. Considering the strength displayed by their opponent the Mud golems of their second brother were not a match of their enemy’s stone elementals so instead of stubbornly fighting a losing battle and be humiliated they decided it was better to flee.
