"This is useful, but I can't focus on them…" Rain thought as he saw his allies reaching the golems.

Jori looked like he didn't know what means holding back and saving energy, he began to swing his sword around viciously, but the golem that he targeted blocked his strikes with his arms.

Reca faced the same fate, her heavy thrusts targeted the heads of the monsters, but they blocked the spear with their arms. Soon enough, the monsters began to move and swing their arms around, and while his allies blocked the attacks, they were pushed backward, and their weapons began to tremble thanks to the weight.

"Ignore the golems! Focus on the casters!" Someone shouted.

That was easier said than done… still, Rain used his earth magic to raise some earth walls from the ground, and those emerged from below the golems and made them fall, opening another hole in their formation… before the enemies could summon some of that beast, Rain stepped forward with his movement speed skill and then appeared sixty meters away from his original point, right in front of the enemies.

"I should give a name to this skill already…" Rain thought.

The enemies opened their eyes widely when someone suddenly appeared in front of them, and it seemed like a kid as well… still, they didn't have time to judge Rain by his appearance since he punched their faces with all his might and he felt their skills cracking.

The mages around tried to move away from Rain, but he approached them with a single step and circulated the battlefield just like that punching the enemy's faces left and right and killing them like bugs. Their physical defense was truly lacking, and that explained why they avoided a siege when they took Tristan… in a war of attrition, they wouldn't last for long.

As numerous golems began to fall, the human soldiers began to advance and approach the casters who were still stuck on the ice. Some of the enemies had freed themselves and were running toward the walls while letting their golems do the fighting, but Rain quickly approached them and smashed their backs with a single punch.

Somehow, breaking their spinal cord felt even more disturbing than cracking their skulls. Still, Rain didn't pay any mind to that.

After looking behind for a moment, Rain saw that Jori, Reca, Liss, Asche, and Terra were still fine, but leaving them alone had been pretty reckless… it was time to return, and he had the perfect excuse for that when he heard the sound of arrows being shot.

Rain looked at the walls for a moment and then saw some archers there, less than fifty, but it was enough to make some changes in the battlefield. Rain quickly returned to his allies' side while looking around. The arrows began to hit some soldiers, and while a bunch got hurt, only a few of them fell and stopped moving altogether.

"Watch out for arrows!" Someone else shouted.

"Rain! Look!" Jori shouted while pointing to the walls, and then Rain saw some suspicious and yet familiar-looking people there. "They are back."

The bone shooters… the enemies pointed their hands toward the army, but before some of them could fire, they fell after being hit with arrows in their heads. Rain looked to the side since the arrows came from there… The enemies were two hundred meters away, and Asche still killed them with that much ease.

In any case, a bunch of arrows and bone darts began to fall around, but the second volley barely hit anyone close to Rain. Liss used her magic and created a wind wall that decreased the power of the enemy's projectiles and made them fall without any power.

"I can't do this forever," Liss said while looking at Rain as if she was waiting for him to do something.

"Our lord is preparing another spell. Just hold your ground!" Someone else shouted.

It was clear that Branden was probably one of the best mages in the kingdom despite his young age. He was also quite the good tactician… while he didn't know anything about the enemies there, he knew that they wouldn't be able to show their true strength once the battle got too close to them.

Rain confirmed that while seeing the golems barely moving… since their Masters were being attacked, they couldn't be controlled that well.

"Hey, kid! We are breaking through!" A white-bearded man said after he approached. "We need to open the gates now, and our lord's magic can help with that; use yours to cover for both of our groups!"

Rain recognized the man. He was the guy that came to help Jori's group in the previous mission. Rain didn't know how come he got so much faith in Rain's magic, but it seemed he saw him in action in the last few minutes. Regardless, Rain didn't have time to think about that. He looked at his allies, and he just nodded. Both parties clustered together and then began to move.

"Rain, you stay in the middle alongside Terra," Jori declared while showing his face red and covered in sweat, thanks to the tension. "Cover our backs while Terra will heal the wounded. We can't stop until we reach the gate."

"All right," Rain said.

Rain had no idea what Branden was thinking, but he had an idea of his own on how he could open the gates of the city, even if they were sealed.
