<h4>Chapter 126 Meeting Alice Again 1</h4>
"ROOOOOAAAAARRRR!!!" A bellow of rage escaped from the eighthyer golem. The terrifying roar suppressed all the sounds and made the cave tremble.
However, it was useless against the girls.
In the instant when the golem let out the roar, a translucid barrier protected the girls. Despite teetering on the verge of copse, the barrier remained strong and fulfilled with its purpose.
It was Louise’s sixthyer magic, [Force Barrier].
But one secondter, a punch from the golem destroyed the already weakened barrier.
"Now!"
Louise shouted, and with that as the signal, a shadow jumped from behind the barrier. The lithe shadow climbed running through the golem’s arm, finally reaching to its head.
Then, with a powerful cry, the shadow shed with her sword.
"Haaaaaaah!"
A silver-colored wave of sword energy flew towards the golem’s head. It flew straight towards the golem’s face, slicing one of its eyes!
"ROOOOAAAAARRRRR!" The golem roared once more, but this time its roar was filled with pain. It tried to use its hand to swat away the fly that hurt it, but a barrier of ice stopped the attack.
"Thanks Lena!" ire called out happily. At the same time, shended in the golem’s chest and jumped back towards the girls.
Having lost one of its eyes, the golem’s movements became much more erratic. It waved its hands and feet furiously trying to crush the insects that dared to defy its power.
The earth rumbled and the cave shook. Violent waves of energy originated from the ce of the fight, causing widespread destruction.
But the three girls facing the monster remained calm. They stood firm against the monster, as three proud goddesses of war, slowly destroying the golem’s body.
In the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed. This battle had been the longest the girls fought until now. Calcting the time, I estimated that they had only another three minutes before the time was up.
But fortunately, the fight was already decided.
"Force magic, [Force Chains]!" Louise finished a spell she had been preparing for a long time. Instantly, tens of magic circles appeared around the golem. Then, innumerable chains flew from the magic circles and tied the golem body.
The golem desperately tried to free itself from the chains, but Louise was not the only one whose spell was ready. Less than one secondter, Lena’s sweet and crisp voice resounded in the cave.
"Activate, [Frozen Hell]!"
Ice-cold mana surged out of Lena’s body. The ice-cold mana turned into a current that engulfed the golem, freezing its right leg and armpletely.
Then, a sh of silver appeared, and the silver-haired swordsman brandished her sword.
"[Stardust]!" ire bellowed, and a storm of sword energy criss-crossed the frozen limbs of the golem.
The next instant, the golem’s frozen limbs burst into pieces.
"ROOAAAAARRRR!" The golem let out a furious cry of pain. Having lost one of its legs, its body helplessly fell to a side, crashing against the ground.
Then, a brilliant magic circle appeared over its head.
Extending her hand, Louise shed a confident smile.
"It’s the end!"
Then, she waved her hand.
Force magic, [Swords’ Paradise]!
An uncountable number of transparent swords appeared on the magic circle. Following their owner’s orders, the swords rained towards the golem.
The golem helplessly tried to use its remaining arm to defend against the rain of swords, but its struggle was futile. Sword after sword descended nibbling away the golem’s remaining arm and finally piercing its head.
With onest unwilling look, the golem tried to attack onest time.
But before it could, itsst eye turned dim.
Then, the powerful eighthyer golem crumbled into pieces.
A secondter, the pieces turned into motes of light.
Like that, the girls killed thest monster of the cave.
...
"It was incredible!" ire let out an excited cry once we left the cave. I could not help but let out a soft chuckle seeing that.
"I remember that someone spent half of the time scared."
ire turned slightly red. "... Please don’t speak about it."
"Fortunately, you are alright." Louise looked at her sister and let out a relieved sigh. She then shot me a grateful look. Although she did not know how I did it, she knew I was the one who helped ire to ovee the trauma of the assassination.
"By the way ire, I still don’t understand why you were like that," Lena asked with a curious look.
ire smiled bitterly. She could not tell Lena that the assassination was real, could she?
After leaving the cave, we were received by the staff of Hidden Cave. They were noticeably surprised that we finished the array. After all, the final boss was an eighthyer monster, and the other monsters were not weak either.
Meanwhile, the strongest of us was the sixth-tier Louise. Two entire levels below the boss.
But remembering our identities, they could only sigh in admiration.
At that moment, Earl Carson and his wife, Mia, appeared in front of us.
"Louise, ire, it’s time to go." Earl Carson said.
Although a bit disappointed, Louise and ire nodded. Before leaving, ire mouthed a few words towards me.
’I’ll go to the pce soon.’
Then, she winked.
"This girl." I sighed inwardly and shook my head. No matter how stealthy she tries to be, how can her antics escape the Earl and his wife’s eyes?
Even Louise and Lena noticed it, throwing me looks of suspicion.
Well, I prefer this kind of mischievous fairy than the one that was too scared to move.
After that, Lena and I took the royal carriage and departed back to the pce. During the way, Lena interrogated me about all the things that she found suspicious, starting from my rtionship with Louise, until what happened between me and ire when we were alone.
Fortunately, I was quite experienced in this. I easily eased her suspicions while at the same time diverting the conversation to another topic.
But when we were halfway to the pce, someone stopped our carriage.
From outside, the familiar voice of an old butler came.
"Your highness prince us, can you grant an audience to my family’s young miss?"
