Blacksmith of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1150: Amazon Delivery

“The epicenter is in the northwest of the city. We lost contact with the golem eyes in the area some time ago. Judging from the damage across the whole region, it seems that an unexpectedly strong enemy appeared there,” Luf calmly summarized that their plan had gone a little awry. Seth burrowed his brows, he had a bad hunch when he asked the next question.

“Who is fighting in the northwest?” with this kind of damage, they had to be close to being a legend and or have several legendary items...

“... Mina went there,” Luf finally answered. The blacksmith's frown deepened. He saw it coming, but he still hoped he was wrong. Among the members that didn't leave Urth, only Mina had Bazilith. The Golem was one with the greatest potential among his more recent creations and probably the strongest in Little Gamma, apart from Python.

Seth also knew that Mina was more than strong enough to at least flee from a very strong enemy. Still, his fist clenched in worry.

“Do we have anyone in the area that could help quickly?” Seth whispered. Around this time, he regretted not bringing Tatzel and Puffles. The two were not interested in the tournament and stayed in Delta, otherwise, Seth would have thrown the Nightmare Centipede at the problem.

“Well, there is someone, yes.”

....

“Fuck...” Mina pressed out. She could only run for now, as fast as she could.

The whole land was cracked and shifting. Porco Bello stood in the center of a crater, a web of cracks surrounding him, as the broken floor rose like a cliff, or sank to unknown depths. The loss of the saintess seemingly came with the loss of its mind.

He had just devastated the whole northwest of the city. A quick glance around told her that the primary destruction had hit none of the civilians floating around. She breathed a sigh for a moment, then Mina saw. In the distance, Porco had lifted his hands again for another strike.

She gulped hard. A single strike had broken the very mountain below their feet. What happened the second time?! The rampage of someone close to the legendary status was frightening.

Bazilith was a streak of flaming metal as he charged at the demon to end his rampage, but before he could stop the pig, the fists struck the ground again. Pillars of land rose to the skies, blocking the golem's path. Using the instinct of the blaze cat, Bazilith barely managed to maneuver between the rising cliffs and close in on his target.

When a wall rose right in front of him, he slashed it, proving the power of a creation built with legendary materials. The flaming blade in his hand, easily cut the bedrock, leaving surfaces of bubbling molten rock.

The two clashed again. Even with this display of strength, Mina didn't think that Porco was much superior to the golem given to her by Seth. In her opinion, the difference was that one side tried to preserve the surroundings, while the other had let go of any reason.

However, she didn't have the time to idly watch the battle anymore. Bazilith didn't have the time to care and the great demon had no intention to begin with, to be careful of the floating people in the air.

The hundreds of people, cultivators, and players that didn't use in time and were assembled to be sacrificed here were still filling the air above them. Although she wanted to join the battle, she couldn’t ignore the people who would lose their lives in the throes of battle. As the only one able to, she decided that Disaster Management was the best she was able to do in this situation.

Jumping in the air, using and , Mina rose into the sky, catching the unconscious people with her magic. Shadow Tendrils grew from the darkness and slithered through the night, collecting the levitating bodies. Using her shadow magic and her rings , Mina did her best to get the captives away from the center of the battle.

Luckily, the people were not pinned in place. She was able to move them with a moderately strong nudge. As speed was of the essence, there may have been some more forceful nudges here and there, but a few bruised and broken ribs were better than death, right?

The battle below was raging on. Mina was forced to revise her earlier opinion, as the battle went on. Ever since Porco released his power and shattered the ground he clearly had the upper hand. Using overwhelming, strength and speed in addition to tactics incorporating the terrains, he was able to pressure Bazilith.

Had Porco been holding back before? For what reason? No matter what the reason was, he stopped holding back and things weren’t going well for the golem. Despite being able to harm the demon in some moments, using unexpected moves, Bazilith being broken and squashed by the pig’s fist happened a lot more often.

Looking down, Mina worried. The radius of destruction kept growing as more buildings crumbled and were swallowed by the rifts in the ground. If things kept going like this, she would have to move the floaters even further away.

For now, she placed them close to the western edge, where the noise of battle quietened. Here, they floated like a group of misshapen jellyfish in the night sky of the empty city. There were probably several thousand at this point. Mina sighed, she was fatigued, but at least she was almost done.

She turned around to go get the rest when a golden meteor crashed into the city not far away from her. The shadow mage melded into the darkness, preparing for a potential enemy, however,

“Hey, Mina?! Are you here? I saw you just a moment ago. Luf sent me to help.”

Lyca announced her presence with a bright smile.

“Lyca?” she recognized the Amazon in her golden battle gear. However, in the first moment, she doubted she would be of much help. Although Seth and the others insisted that she was extremely powerful, Mina had only seen her performance during the tournament.

Could she have beaten the Amazon at lv.100 without any legendary equipment? Maybe not, but unless the unsealed power was tremendous, she would be as much help in the fight against Porco Bello, as her so far. The radiating woman’s smile grew wider as if reading her thoughts and being amused by it.

“Don’t worry, I released the seal on my way here. I will definitely be able to help,” she guaranteed. It was weird. At first, Mina had her doubts, but when she looked at the Amazon’s handsome smile, she slowly lost her worries. Maybe she should have some more confidence in Seth and the others, guaranteeing her strength…

“Well, fine then. Let’s get going. I still have a bunch of people hanging around, waiting for me,” the cat girl shrugged and signaled the Amazon to follow her, as she vanished into the night, in the direction of battle.
