The giants that stair produced was made out of the remains of the dead as well as the living.
Before he appeared, there''s still at least 2 million beasts needed to be in in order for the war to end, yet all of them was absorbed into the ck orbs that he condensed and turned into gigantic golems that stood several hundred meters tall.
Each Giant Golem was so big that the walls of the kingdom barely reached their waist. If fact, their silhouettes could be seen all the way to castle, causing panic and hysteria amongst people.
As the Giant Golems slowly made their way towards the Kingdom and amidst stair hysterical screams. An old and wizened voice followed by a thick pir of golden light emerged from within the walls of the Kingdom.
"Audacious!"
stair''s face froze, his eyes narrowing as killing intent radiated off of his body. He red at the thick golden pir of light in hatred and watched as two people slowly stepped forward.
Suddenly, a wave offorting light washed over each soldiers. It brought them warmth and certainty that everything''s going to be alright. From within the blessed light, all of them witnessed as their beloved King announced his presence to the enemy.
No signs of weakness could be seen on his face. His back stood straight, hisplexion was healthy, and his power emanated certainty and confidence. It even looks like he became several years younger.
As he walked towards the battlefield, each step that he took was filled with unwavering resolve. He was wearing an armor befitting of a King. He was grasping his sword on his right hand and the g of his Kingdom on his left.
Next to him was Elizabeth, who exudes peerless grace and beauty, she''s no longer encased in an statue that barely contained her soul and required the blood of her own daughter each day. She has returned to her own body and she never felt better.
Luna who''s watching all of this could hardly restrain her emotions. "They''re cured! Finally!" She cried.
stair who''s floating in the air had an ugly expression on his face as he saw the two walking towards him, but aside from that, he also felt incredibly shocked. He didn''t thought that they were cured already. All this time he thought that they were still suffering from their illnesses, he even saw them in a bad shape before!
He thought about many things that appeared strange but sadly, he didn''t have the luxury to be distracted.
The clouds parted as the King moved forward, it was as if his mere presence is enough to drive away the bad weather that''s looming over their heads.
"This is the end of your impudence, stair." King Alexander stated as he entered a specific distance between him and stair. "I will not allow you to hurt my people again."
"That''s some big wordsing from your mouth, Little Brother." stair mocked, "You should know not to bite more than what you can chew."
"Oh trust me, I can and will uphold my word. Today is thest day that you will be a threat to the Kingdom." King Alexander imed, "Your atrocious deeds, ends here."
After saying that, the King suddenly transformed into a beam of light that flew at a simr speed. stair managed to defend against his attack but he figured that the King''s strength sent him flying with great distance as he closely followed.
It wouldn''t take a genius to figure out what the King has in mind. He nned on fighting stair in a different location.
The Queen chose to stay behind since they talked about this beforeing here. Alexander wanted to personally end stair, but since he doesn''t know how long it will take him to do that, he told Elizabeth to remain and assist the army to defend against the golems.
She gently flew down and looked at the hulking figures threatening their home. Her face turned solemn since she could tell that these things will be a headache to deal with.
Elizabeth raised her sword and pointed at the sky, an emerald glow covered her body as she uttered: "Sacred Tree Roots: Restrain!"
Out of nowhere, thick roots sprouted from beneath each golem''s feet, swiftly growing and wrapping around their bodies and holding them in ce. Each golem struggled free from the restrictions but the roots firmly held them in ce and just refused to budge.
"Everyone!" Elizabeth called out, "Attack the exposed parts with everything you have! If webine our strengths, we can surely take these things out! After that, this is going to be over."
Her words resounded across the battlefield, allowing them to regain their confidence and their fighting spirits. Several roars from the soldiers sounded after that and together, all of them started recovering from their daze and threw everything they got at the golems.
With the Queen holding them in ce, the golems couldn''t fight back. All they could do is to passively ept the flurry of attacks heading their way.
Pained roars escaped from the golems yet no matter how hard they struggled, the roots kept them in ce. Elizabeth could feel them struggling but she didn''t want to risk anybody''s life anymore so she held them all in ce. Of course she could feel some drawbacks in her technique, yet she endured all of them since this is the only way she could effectively minimize the damages on their side.
Flurry of attacks were sent by the army, causing the Giant Golems to suffer sufficient damage. Yet at the same time, they also encountered another problem. All their attacks are seemingly useless since the flesh of the golems regenerate at an absurd pace.
They were already informed that they need to damage to core of each golem to permanently shut them down but their cores are in constant motion inside their bodies. Due to this, any damage the golems receive will be healed so long as the core remained, and since it''s motion as well, it will take a considerable amount of power and luck for them to destroy it.
***
*ng!*
Swords shed and caused powerful shockwaves around their vicinity.
stair and Alexander are no locked into a fearsome melee against each other. In this battle, only one of them could remain.
Light Laws against Death Laws. In some aspect, one might say that thesews mutually restrained each other but that''s not true. Thew that couldpletely restrain Death Laws is Life Laws. Alexander has Light Laws not Life Laws, so he''s at a disadvantage here.
Fortunately, there is one downside that stair had that Alexander could take advantage of.
stair pushed Alexander back to create some distance between them, he stomped and directed some of his Death Laws on the ground. Alexander jumped in the air to avoid it but stair had other ns.
"Rise!" stairmanded, causing several creatures to be reanimated using Death Laws. Skeletal creatures suddenly rose up from the ground and scurried towards Alexander.
In response to this, Alexander too a step back and aimed his sword towards the charging undead. Several swords of light manifested around him, and with a straight thrust, the swords of light urately pierced every undead heads, reducing them to ashes and neutralizing stair''s attack.
Alexander then turned into a beam of light that swiftly closed the distance between him and stair. His speed was too quick that stair failed to properly defend himself, costing him his right arm.
A nasty expression surfaced on stair''s face, but with a simple gesture, his severed arm flew back into ce as if it wasn''t cut off in the first ce.
''Damn it! He''s too quick! I''m going to run out of supply if this keeps up!''
stair felt pressed, yet Alexander isn''t willing to give him any chances. As soon as stair''s arm was re-attached, he was already at the verge of sending sharp sword energies fueled by his Light Laws towards him.
stair was thrown into panic and hurriedly moved out of the way. Alexander chased him and caught up, hethen sent a crescent shaped sword energy that the former failed to dodge, causing him to be sliced in half.
Alexander was about to make another move when suddenly, several ck orbs that will explode on contact were sent his way. He managed to sessfully dodge every single one, just in time until stair''s body recovered.
stair had an ugly expression whilst Alexander had a firm one. Thetter then said:
"Your defeat is inevitable, stair." Alexander said while pointing his sword at him. "I could tell that you''re just an animated being. The energy and Laws you utilize aren''t your own, and each revival drains a considerable amount of power in you."
Alexander assumed a stance and continued: "Cease this futile resistance and ept your death, Brother. We both know that you can''t win against me."
"I don''t care!" stair roared indignantly, "I refuse! Unless I see that piece ofnd wiped off from the face of the earth! I refuse to pass on! You might be quick but let''s see whiches first, you finishing me off or your beloved home being trampled by my creations!"
"My home will be safe." A peaceful smile appeared on Alexander''s face, greatly startling stair.
"My son-inw hasn''t made a move yet, remember?"
