Lance

Jason, Perseus, and Rocky stood and watched as the two pairs of eyes came closer and closer to them.

The eyes seemed to a few feet above each other as the faced paced footsteps got closer and closer.

Boops asked himself quietly as he heard the sound of the footsteps getting closer and closer

'where have I heard that noise? and why is there only the sound of one person's footsteps?'

And soon Boops's question was answered.

Two golems emerged one in the shape of a horse, it had a soft blue glow underneath the many scales that covered its body. Its red eyes glared at the trio as it paced closer and closer to them. Its nostrils flared and it stopped suddenly and pawed the ground almost as if it was impatient to attack them.

There was another golem riding on the horse. It was a knight golem the cold metal scales on its body forming an extravagant and strong amour. A brown and grey color emanated from its body and the veins and inner workings of them gave off the same color.

It held a large lance along with a shield that reached down to the middle of the horse golem's body.

Both golems stopped suddenly and gazed at the three.

Jason looked to the left and right. The darkness of the chamber seemed even more prevalent, in fact, he couldn't even see the ceiling of the chamber. Only bits of the cracked greyish blue walls lit up by the torches could be seen.

And the small hall where the two golems stood, behind it was the bright light that kept on getting brighter. Perseus squinted his eyes to peer closer at it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

He saw the silhouette of a sword. Stuck on a pedestal adorned with a golden hilt and a ruby embedded in the middle. The blade shining in bright white light. Something about it gave Perseus a sense of familiarity.

Jason muttered to Perseus quietly

"nows not the time to be in awe of a stupid sword Perseus" saying that he sent the information over of the two golems, the knight and horse to Perseus.

Boops looked over the information of the two golems and grimaced as well as a floating orb could.

'this one's going to be bad'

Perseus gripped his sword and looked at Rocky.

"We won't know until we try," he said as he jumped forward his sword outstretched and glowing blue. Rocky ran right behind Perseus slightly lagging behind but his eyes fierce as he held his new mace and shield out ready to pound the golems into the ground.

Jason shrugged his shoulders.

"fine, we'll do a preemptive attack I guess" he muttered to himself as he lowered his stance and sprinted towards the other two, a flashy red aura surrounding him, now with no sign of the black shade that had taken a large portion of the aura's color in the beginning.

The horse and knight golem both watched the trio charge at them with menacing red eyes. The knight golem seemed to narrow his eyes and lifted its lance up. The horse reared up and when its fount feet touched the ground. It set off in a dash, leaving a trail of blue light behind it.

It dashed towards Perseus, the knight raised its lance and pulled back.

Perseus grunted as he held his sword up to block the incoming strike.

The horse and knight charged closer and the knight thrust out with its lance.

A loud clang resounded throughout the room as flew back from the force of the strike.

He flipped himself around midair and slammed his hand into the ground effectively slowing down his momentum until he gently landed his feet onto the ground.

Perseus looked at his arm which was shaking from the force of the strike and then at his sword which now had a huge indent on it. He glared back at the knight and horse golem which was now charging towards Rocky.

"oh you're dead"

He said in a rage, he activated all of his movement skills and all his damage-increasing ones. He raised his sword up with both hands and then slammed it down into the ground.

The [swordsman ultimate skill (earthquake)]

Cracks appeared around the area that Perseus slammed his sword down, and a blue light emerged from them.

The cracks on the ground got faster and closer to the horse and rider. In a flash of light, it got underneath the horse and in a loud crumbling noise, the entire ground started to shake.

The horse slightly stumbled before finally gaining its traction.

The knight on top also had to momentarily lift up its lance to readjust its position in fear of falling down.

And that was where Perseus wanted them.

He leaped into the air and activated his last attack with all of his mana.

(wave)

He swung out with his sword, causing a wave of blue energy to flow out, it moved like a rushing river, a huge unrelenting furious river and it was directed straight towards the currently immobile knight and horse.

The knight and horse simply braced themselves for the attack. The knight raised its shield and the horse attempted to back up away from the wave of energy.

The wave of energy collided with the horse and knight in a loud crash. It pounded on them like the wave on the sea.

But after it passed, the horse and the ride stood there. They both turned to Perseus once again their red eyes glaring at Perseus. They both looked a bit worn out after the attack. But they were still standing and very much operable.

As the horse and knight glared at Perseus a mace came swinging, hitting the knight on the torso. The knight turned its head to see Rocky breathing hard and sweating as he looked back at the knight golem.

Sadly with the amount of strength in Rocky's swing and the giant level difference. The attack couldn't amount to much.

The mace bounced off the golem's amour made of scales and Jason could only salute in his mind as the horse kicked him in his outstretched shield sending him flying. He crashed into a wall and rocks and dust fell underneath him.

The golem turned back to Perseus and the horse reared up and charged towards him.

Jason chased after the golem and while he passed Rocky who was slightly embedded into the wall he tossed a health potion that Arjuna had supplied them in the real world.

Perseus after seeing the horse and knight charging towards him. He remembered the impact of the force and turned around and ran with the knight and horse chasing after him.

Jason chased after the three. His sword in hand.

Perseus getting notified by Boops that the knight and horse were getting closer turned around to fend them off in a desperate attempt.

He raised his sword, glowing blue, and slashed at the horse's eyes. But a shield blocked his sword from going any closer and the side of the knight's lance hit him in the side making Perseus let out a small yell of pain.

Perseus held out his sword as he slid a few meters back. To say the least, he was slightly worried.

The knight and horse chased after him furiously, but then a metal skewer flew from behind them and hit the golem knight on the back of his head.

The golem slowly turned to look at Jason who was standing far off. Jason shook his head at himself trying to focus.

But he could feel the effects of the avatar state slowly wane and lose its original power. The red aura that before engulfed him like a tongue of flames now resembled flicker embers.

But the knight and horse golems didn't turn to chase after Jason instead they turned back to Perseus and continued their charge getting closer and closer to him by the second.

They resumed his attack and Perseus was helpless in the face of the full-frontal attack. His mana was exhausted his skills were on cooldown and any attempts by his master to distract the golem were rendered feeble and useless.

Perseus lifted his sword up to attempt to block the lance that shot straight towards his chest. It was a desperate attempt. Perseus held his breath as it got closer and closer to him. And then Perseus heard and saw his sword shatter in front of his eyes.

It broke at the most crucial time breaking into millions of tiny bits and falling to the floor.

Perseus stared at the remains of his sword, even as the lance of the golem hit him in the chest with a resounding thump. Thankfully the lance was more of the blunt type which meant the lance didn't pierce.

He flew back still blankly looking at the shattered pieces of his weapon. Jason appeared behind the knight golem and slammed down on the horse golem underneath.

It bounced off with a clang, but with his other hand, he attempted to drive a dagger into one of the golem's red eyes.

The knight's shield flew quickly came between the dagger and its head.

It seems both of them knew of the danger in the situation and their eyes glowed even more brightly and soon on both of them scales started to slowly fall off.
