BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The room echoed with the sounds of clashing fists. Only the B ranked golem was able to take direct hits from the reaper's scythe, but even so, taking a hit from an A ranked boss was no joke and every time the golem took a hit, he lost a large part of his HP.

"Just a little bit more..." Arnold gritted his teeth, he had been continuously casting spells at the reaper to support the golems. The strain of casting so many spells continuously soon started taking a toll on Arnold. His mana was depleting faster as well, mana regeneration couldn't keep up with the depletion speed. He had hoped that after using his abilities, EL would somehow manage to get reaper's attention so that Arnold would get some time to regenerate his mana. But sadly EL was still concentrating on activating his ability.
"How long does it takes to activate one ability!" Arnold was frustrated by this point.
"One... more... minute," EL mumbled behind him.
"Let's do this then. TRY TO RESTRICT HIS MOVEMENT!" Arnold ordered his golems, before using [ FROZEN LANCE ] ability and started throwing the lances at the reaper, who effortlessly managed to dodge them all. "I said RESTRICT HIS MOVEMENT!"
The next moment, one of the rank C golems rushed towards the reaper. The reaper sensed the danger approaching him, immediately swung his scythe at the golem destroying him in an instant. Arnold had pretty much expected this outcome, but what happened next surprised him.

Arnold couldn't believe his luck! [ULTIMATE SACRIFICE], was a passive exclusive to the golems and only had a 10% chance of being triggered after a golem was destroyed. It was very useful passive because the ability could deal up to 30% of target's maximum HP as physical damage. Furthermore, the target would be frozen for 2 minutes. enough time for him to throw the remaining lances at him as well as for EL to attack the reaper. But the next moment his luck vanished as another message popped open in front of him.
_________________________
[UNDEAD REAPER] activated the skill [ILLUSION OF THE SPIRIT] nullifying all status effects.
[UNDEAD REAPER] isn't [FROZEN] anymore.
_________________________
The reaper disappeared from Arnold's sight only to reappear in front of him and was about to kick him, Arnold hastily raised various walls made of ice and earth in front of him. But it was all in vain as the reaper's kick broke through the walls as if they were made of paper and managed to hit Arnold on his chest.
BOOM!
Arnold felt like he was run over by a double-decker bus, and was sent flying towards the wall behind him. Multiple of his ribs were broken, blood was gushing out of his mouth, bones in his right hand were completely shattered. More messages flashed in front of his eyes.

_________________________
Just one hit by the reaper almost killed him. If it wasn't for the walls he had made at the last moment, he would've died for sure. His HP was being restored but he wasn't being able to move. He opened his eyes, the reaper was standing over him. The reaper raised his scythe above his head and was about to slam it down on him. Arnold averted his gaze from his certain doom and looked at the golems.

The two remaining golems were running towards the reaper with all their might, but the distance was too much. They won't be able to reach in time. Seeing this, Arnold closed his eyes, thinking about Nicole.
"I'm sorry..." he mumbled.
THUMP
As the reaper was about to finish Arnold off, when a flash of red light appeared out of nowhere, severing the reaper's arm and slashing him in multiple places.
"Why don't you fight me now!" EL roared in rage, his eyes were burning red as if his body was made of fire. He continued slashing and stabbing the reaper in multiple places, weakening him bit by bit.
However even after losing an arm, the reaper was calm and wasn't bothered at all. He tried to pick up his scythe with his remaining left arm but before he could, the B ranked Golem punched him in the face knocking him off balance and picked up the scythe instead. EL wasn't done either, he kept slashing his sword at the monstrous boss. The battle came to an end when the golem finally managed to sever the reaper's head with his own scythe.
Arnold had his eyes opened by now, he saw how EL saved his life and how his golem finally killed the boss. He wanted to thank them but he lost consciousness before he could.

Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost.
