Thud! Thud!
The Swordsman and Shieldbearer Golems, landing back on the ground, shattered the earth without a moment’s hesitation and chased after Hulim Heyerar’s falling figure.
The Mage Golem on the platform also shifted its focus, locking onto Hulim’s landing zone—but still refused to leave the platform......
“Hulim! Are you okay?! ”
Little Semiris poked her head out of Hulim’s clothes, asking anxiously.
“I’m fine. But...... Little Semiris, you can’t stay on me anymore. You might get accidentally hurt.”
Hulim glanced around.
“Luckily, this place is huge—hiding will be easy for you.”
“Little Semiris understands!”
Little Semiris nodded, climbing out of Hulim’s clothes.
“Little Semiris will cheer you on from the sidelines~!”
“Thanks. But don’t let them hear your cheers, okay?”
“Got it~!”
Little Semiris scurried off to find a hiding spot.
Hulim adjusted her mood, calming herself further, then fixed her gaze on the rapidly approaching auras.
She sheathed Helkem, gripping the Seven Luminaries with both hands.
“Now, let’s start Round Two......”
Whoosh!
In the next instant, Hulim charged directly toward the two Annihilation Golems.
In the blink of an eye, they closed the vast distance and clashed head-on.
Crackle!
Hulim raised her hand, summoning an iceberg that froze the ambushing Swordsman Golem solid.
She then unleashed earth magic, stirring the ground beneath her feet.
Boom! Boom......
The earth churned violently, leaving the Shieldbearer Golem struggling to stand.
Whoosh!
A beam of light streaked over from afar.
Hulim dodged sideways, evading the attack.
She continued manipulating the earth magic—countless hard rock spikes jutted from the ground, bombarding the Shieldbearer Golem repeatedly.
Of course, such attacks couldn’t harm it.
But Hulim only intended to trap it temporarily.

With both obstacles neutralized for the moment,
Boom——!
Hulim erupted with speed that made the air crackle, flying straight toward the platform.
Her priority was to take down the most troublesome Mage Golem!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh......
Dozens of light orbs flew at her densely, trying to block her advance.
Hulim swung the Seven Luminaries forward fiercely.
A conical spiral storm formed in front of her, shredding all incoming light orbs to pieces.
Crack......
Behind her, the Swordsman Golem trapped in ice shattered the prison and broke free.
It immediately chased after Hulim.
The Shieldbearer Golem also broke free from the earth’s grip and followed.
But their maximum speed was no match for Hulim’s—they were destined to fail in stopping her assault on the Mage Golem......
Seeing that ordinary magical attacks were ineffective against Hulim, the Mage Golem changed its attack pattern.
Hum! Hum......
The wheel-shaped magical device on its back spun faster and faster.
Soon after, a far larger magic array unfolded in front of it.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Hulim chanted the incantation at lightning speed.
Dazzling light glowed at the tip of the Seven Luminaries.
Boom——!
A massive beam of light, like a tidal wave, shot forth from the Mage Golem’s array.
At the same instant, Hulim’s magic activated.
A giant dark vortex formed before her.
Boom——!
The light beam collided with the dark vortex.
The vortex trembled violently but remained unbroken, swallowing the tidal wave of light bit by bit.
Soon, the light faded—and the vortex vanished along with it.
Thud!
At that exact moment, a figure landed right in front of the Mage Golem......
“Step down!”
Magical light flared at the tip of the Seven Luminaries once more.
The Mage Golem retreated hastily, trying to create distance, and erected a thick shield around itself.
Boom! Boom! Boom......
All manner of magic flew from Hulim’s wand, slamming into the Mage Golem’s shield.
The Mage Golem struggled to maintain it,
but under Hulim’s relentless barrage, the shield began to waver......
Crack~!
It didn’t hold for long—the shield shattered with a crisp sound.
Hulim’s attacks landed directly on the Mage Golem.
Just as the Mage Golem was about to be defeated, a massive figure suddenly descended from the sky, blocking its path.
Thud!
It planted its feet firmly into the ground, then merged its arms and legs into a single enormous shield.
All of Hulim’s magic struck the shield head-on.
“......How did it get here so fast?”
Hulim stared in confusion at the Shieldbearer Golem.
By her calculations, they should have been several seconds away.
Yet the Shieldbearer Golem had arrived early!
And why was only the Shieldbearer here—where was the Swordsman Golem......
A short while earlier,
Hulim had been too focused on attacking the Mage Golem to notice the Swordsman and Shieldbearer Golems racing toward her. Realizing they couldn’t reach her in time, they executed a coordinated maneuver.
The Swordsman Golem sliced through a boulder, lifting it above its head.
The Shieldbearer Golem jumped onto the boulder.
With a burst of speed, the Swordsman Golem charged forward and hurled the boulder—with the Shieldbearer atop it—toward the platform.
Mid-air, the Shieldbearer used the boulder as a springboard, accelerating again.
Its speed surged far beyond its usual limit,
allowing it to arrive just in time......
With the Shieldbearer absorbing the damage, defeating the Mage Golem behind it became even harder for Hulim.
At the same time, a whistling sound approached rapidly from behind.
The Swordsman Golem was about to join the fray.
The situation seemed destined to return to the beginning.
But Hulim’s gaze grew even calmer.
Her mind raced, and she pointed the Seven Luminaries toward the sky.
Boom!
Giant thunderbolts flashed overhead.
A pressure comparable to the Mage Golem’s massive light beam began to build.
The Shieldbearer Golem immediately abandoned its defensive stance, conjured a thick magical barrier around itself, and leaped into the air—trying to block the impending attack from above.
Yet the moment it jumped, the pressure in the sky vanished without a trace.
Hulim slammed the Seven Luminaries into the ground.
Clang——!
A wave of light spread across the earth.
She unleashed the magic she’d truly been preparing.
“Tier 5—Final Light!”
Hum——!!!
A large circular area of ground beneath the Mage Golem lit up with brilliant white light.
Then,
Boom——!!!
A colossal white beam shot into the sky, engulfing the Mage Golem.
The beam’s dazzling radiance illuminated the entire space......
