Chapter 287 An Uphill Battle
The ravaging flames continued to spread across the stage into a sea of fire.
Two massive creatures fought with each other in the middle of the flames.
Both of them were golems without a single piece of flesh on their bodies, yet the intensity of their fight was still enough to excite the audience.
The Golem Knight was a melee golem. It might have had some mid-ranged attacks, but against a powerful opponent like the Infernal Tyrant, it would have to connect with its blade to deal any significant damage. The Golem Knight gave up on its defensive tower shield. It had to prevent the opponent from using Fire Teleportation to leave its attack range, and the only way to do that was to stall the Tyrant by going all out with its sword techniques.
Every time the Infernal Tyrant wanted to disengage with a Fire Teleportation, it would be interrupted by a savage battle technique. The Tyrant would then be forced to stay in place and endure the ceaseless blows from the Knight’s sword.
Its flaming left arm was severed and instantly regenerated…
The two legs below its body were cleaved into two and instantly regenerated…
Rouneau couldn’t help but feel his heart burn with anxiousness as the two massive creatures continued to wreak havoc on the stage.
Initially, he was still able to remain silent and uninvolved in the fight between the two. After all, the knight’s soul inside the puppet was far more proficient at combat than he was!
However, Rouneau went into a rage when he witnessed an infuriating scene. The fearsome flame golem had traded a massive wound on its body for more minor damage to the knee joint.
Dammit! This enemy even knew how to trick the Golem Knight’s battle instincts!
The Golem Knight would always be faced with choices in battle; whether to strike and inflict more damage on the opponent, or to defend and prevent the enemy from continuing to wound its leg.
But the flame humanoid was always exposing its own weaknesses to the Golem Knight and tricking the Knight into attacking it. While the Knight was preoccupied with dealing damage, the flame golem would slowly dole out damage to the knee joint, little by little.
The Golem Knight only possessed a rigid soul that was the product of a forced fusion. It would recklessly continue to attack as long as it judged that the damage it caused greatly exceeded the damage it received. This particular trait was being exploited by the accursed flame golem.
The opponent exhausted large amounts of its energy reserves to trade for some insignificant damage on his golem. However, the damaged location was extremely unique. It was the Golem Knight’s right knee joint.
Rouneau didn’t dare leave the Golem Knight to its own devices once he understood what was happening. He forcefully gave a new command and made the Knight prioritize defending or dodging when its legs were attacked
Unfortunately, the Infernal Tyrant was already counter-attacking at this point!
…………
The image before Greem’s eyes shook intensely.
Multiple beeps rang out in his mind as the chip continued to issue alarms and warnings.
“Beep. Warning. Warning. 78% of energy reserves exhausted. Estimated combat time remaining: 25 minutes, 17 seconds.”
Greem had let the Infernal Tyrant suffer tremendously in order to try and cripple a single leg. Sadly, even after exhausting most of the Tyrant’s energies, the opponent remained wounded but not crippled. It still retained powerful mobility and offense.
The Golem Knight had also become increasingly careful under Rouneau’s instructions. There were fewer chances for the Infernal Tyrant to attack.
At this rate, the opponent only needed to defend and counter-attack, and they would be able to exhaust all of the energy remaining in the Infernal Tyrant.
Greem gritted his teeth and decided on a gamble! A risky gamble to turn the tides!
