The following day as soon as the battle started once again, the soldiers from the royal army saw a horrifying scene in front of them.
From the Trixepona fortress situated on the mountain top, a large figure was coming down toward the royal army camp. It was a metal giant over 60 meters tall. As it was walking down the mountain, the whole landmass was shaking like in the time of an earthquake indicating the super heavy weight of the giant.
This was the Trump Card that Horas decided to use today. The past emperor who came from the hawk beast overlord clan was not only an expert at using naginata but was also an expert golem creator. One of his lifelong goals was to create a golem with strength equivalent to a S rank. But unfortunately he was unsuccessful.
But even tho he was unsuccessful, he did manage to come very close to his ideal and this golem was the result of that. Even tho this sea green colour golem was not comparable to a real S ranker it came very close to becoming one.
Actually in terms of defence it was stronger than most S rankers but it's insanely slow speed was holding it back from really reaching the S rank. This golem's speed was inferior to even most top B rankers. But now it was fighting a war where it did not need to be too fast as there were enemies everywhere. So it could unleash its full potential in a war like this.
This golem was named "Emeraldish". It was made using some of the rarest materials from all over the whole world. That was the reason why this golem had such an insane defence.
Other than defence, this golems one another strong point was its weight and height. It was a very big golem over 60 meters tall. And the materials that were used to create this golem were all very heavy themselves. So, the overall weight of the golem had reached an insane degree.
Any one of this golem's casual attack possessed the power of at least a top class A rank. And due to its large size all the attacks were equivalent to an area of effect attack. That was why this golem was probably more useful than any random S ranker, at least in war.
No one present in the royal army was capable of holding this giant golem back except obviously the emperor himself. Even if all the other A rankers present in the field joined hands, this golem was completely ignoring them as their attacks were not strong enough to hurt it.
That was why, Leonhart had to step in to stop the golem's rampage. That obviously foiled his plan to wreck havoc in the battlefield to end the war before tonight. But now it had become something almost impossible. He had to do his utmost to deal with Emeraldish as this golem had the capability to end the whole war alone without him making a move.
Even for Leonhart this golems defence was quite astonishing. He was someone with a great amount of strength and that was the reason why he could deal with this golem somewhat easily. If there was any other S ranker in Leonhart's place even they would have a hard time stopping this golem.
...
While this was happening inside the empire, at the border of the Myrilia Kingdom Hapis was also beginning his all-out offence. The human army was using the defensive magic circle that Elena built to somehow keep those berserk beastkins at bay.
Today the human army actually understood the real intensity of Hapis' strength. Sandy was truly no match for him just as he mentioned before. Most of the other B rankers present in the human army had to join hands together to somehow defend against Hapis' attacks.
The high rankers of the human army had no other choice but to return inside the city to use the barrier to defend against Hapis' attacks. If they did not do that then they would be unable to block Hapis at all.
Sandy and Saradina were the only ones whose attacks were capable of dealing a decent amount of damage to Hapis. But Hapis had a regeneration ability which was healing him faster than Sandy and Saradina could deal damage to him.
But on the other hand, Hapis was also unable to do any significant damage to the barrier that was created by using Elena's magic circle. After trying the barrier out a bit Hapis became sure that if he did not use his trump cards together just like Elena told them he would really be unable to do anything to the barrier.
When that fact became clear to him, he did not waste any time and made up his mind. Hapis then ordered his generals to step up their games and immediately activated two of his trump cards together.
...
Leonhart really wanted to finish this battle as soon as possible. If he was unable to finish the battle in a short time then that would hurt both his reputation and future plans. So he decided to not bother with this golem anymore.
The lion beast overlord clan had a total of 8 beast Emperors even before Leonhart. So they did not lack S rank legendary items at all. Leonhart was also capable of defeating this golem if he went all out. But that would force him to use quite a lot of energy and it would also take quite some time. So he decided to not waste his time and energy on it when he had an easier solution available.
Leonhart took out a piece of paper with several complex designs drawn on it. It was a product created by one of the most talented Beast Emperors from the past who was also a part of the lion beast overlord clan. He tried to merge the field of ruins and talisman together and was semi-successful in this endeavour. The paper that Leonhart had on his hand was one such semi-successful result.
As soon as the talisman was activated, Illusory ropes appeared out of nowhere and coiled around the golem. As soon as that happened the golem became completely still and lost all its mobility. That effectively completely neutralized the golem in one strike.
After that Leonhart did not waste any time and charged straight toward the Trixepona fortress. In order to stop him, Horas released other golems who were also quite troublesome even tho they were less scary than Emeraldish. But nothing was able to block Leonhart as he used some more legendary items from his personal collection.
After Leonhart was able to storm into the fortress all alone the battle was almost over. The royal army followed behind him with monstrous momentum. But still they are unable to catch Horas as he used another legendary spacial item to teleport away who knew where. Many other high ranking clansmen from the hawk beast overlord clan had also already run away. So the conclusion to this expedition was not very satisfying to Leonhart. But still a beast overlord clan disappeared from that day onwards.
After that Leonhart ordered the army to quickly march toward the desert border area to apprehend the last remaining rebel.
...
Hapis activated two abilities called "Ancestral Great Beast Form" and "Brave's Gambit". The first ability allowed him to take on the form of a giant 30-40 meter tall bull but this skill also put a huge amount of stress on his body. So much so that after every use of this ability for just a few minutes he would always become so tired that he would be unable to move for a long time even with his superior regeneration ability. But this skill was quite strong as it gave him the capability to fight even a S ranker after activating it.
The second skill was kinda dependent on his luck stat, which was unique to this world status system. Upon activating it, he had a 50 percent chance of getting 100 percent stronger and 50 percent chance of getting a major backlash, which would be quite troublesome to heal with his regeneration. Fortunately luck was on his side today and he was able to successfully gain a 100 percent power boost.
Now after all his preparations were done, he finally unleashed a strong charge attack toward the barrier. This single attack completely drained Hapis dry but he was not only able to destroy the troublesome barrier but also destroyed part of the wall, which was supposed to be the second line of defence if the barrier broke.
One good thing for the human army was that , after doing this attack, Hapis was completely spent and he would need quite a lot of time to be able to get back to the battlefield. This at least gave the human army a chance to make a comeback and to not fall instantly.
The humans also had great fighters like Saradina and Sandy on their side which made it impossible for the bull beastkins to get an easy victory. The brawl became fiercer and fiercer as all the soldiers were fighting with their life, convection and loved ones on the line.
The war was getting more bloodier as the climax was coming closer and closer.
