Nameless King

Nicole destroyed two of the six golems in one swift blow, so now she only had four more to deal with to get her coveted reward.

'It took her exactly twenty seconds for the two golems. Well, at this rate she'll clear a path in a minute, though that's unlikely. The others look a little stronger.' Wain muttered inwardly as he glanced at the remaining golems.

The golems were on the Demigod Stage, but that didn't mean they were all equally strong. Those who attacked Nicole were the weakest since they were slightly smaller than the others and their auras were not as dense as the others.

'Hmm... It will probably take her two minutes to deal with three of them, but to deal with this one... she might have a real problem.' Wain thought as he glanced at the golem who stood behind the others.

The Main Golem was much larger than the others as it had many emerald crystals on its body, infused with enormous amounts of energy. His eyes were green, not blue like the others, and he had a massive rune on his chest that flashed from time to time.

"What? None of you want to attack? Fine, then I'll do it myself!" Nicole exclaimed with an excited expression as she lashed forward like a black flash.

Her arms were covered in thick darkness that turned into massive paws with long, sharp claws while a black plume of energy remained behind her.

The golems could wait no longer, and three of them attacked back. They didn't act like the first two, since they touched the ground, channeling energy into it.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The ground shook violently, causing Nicole to lose her balance for a moment. One of the golems immediately took advantage of this, pounding the ground with its massive fists as hard as it could.

The ground cracked and shook as if there had been a massive earthquake as Nicole was thrown into the air.

"Shit! What kind of dirty tricks are these?" Nicole exclaimed angrily preparing to attack, but suddenly a chill went down her back since the second golem's fist was already moving toward her.

Crackle.

The fist completely covered her, but Nicole was not thrown aside since suddenly a black line appeared on the golem's arm and exploded with a stream of darkness, cutting off the golem's arm.

"ARGHHHH!!!" The golem cried out in pain holding onto his severed arm with a frightened look.

'Hah, they may be made of stone, but when they get wounds like that, they feel pain ten times worse than we do. Nicole just cut his energy veins... damn, she did it really fast.' Wain grinned inwardly as a sly smile appeared on his face.

Whoooooooooosh.

Nicole jumped away from the golem's arm, instantly attacking it. She swung her arms, tearing the golem's massive head into many pieces as her darkness passed through its defenses with ease.

'Fine, one more ready, only two to go!' Nicole inwardly exclaimed as she created a blast of darkness beneath her, creating a momentum that greatly accelerated her.

The second golem realized he was too slow to attack Nicole from this position, so it tried to defend itself, crossing its arms in front of it.

"Hah, it's no use!" Nicole exclaimed, sinking her claws into the golem's hands. Through the claws, Nicole sent a large amount of darkness into the golem's hands, which just made them explode into tiny shards.

"ROOOOOOAAAARRRRR!!!" The golem roared in terrible pain, but it seemed to know it was coming since it quickly attacked Nicole, opening its mouth wide.

Given Nicole's size, it looked to her as if a cave wanted to swallow her, but it was just a desperate attempt by the golem to do something, nothing more.

"Pffffff, what's the point?" Nicole snorted letting the golem swallow her.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Within seconds, wisps of darkness began to fly out of the golem's mouth, and in a few strikes, Nicole completely destroyed the golem's head, climbing out of its captivity.

She stood on the shoulders of the already dead golem falling to the ground, staring intently at the last remaining one.

"Hah, you don't seem to know what to do to win at all, right? Well, in that case just die quick!" Nicole exclaimed with a cruel smirk as she bent down and took a step forward.

Whoooooooooooosh.

Nicole's jerk caused an explosion of darkness behind her as she rushed at breakneck speed toward the golem, piercing it like lightning.

The golem just couldn't withstand such powerful pressure as Nicole's energy tore it apart. Lots of debris fell around her as a smirk appeared on her face.

"Well? How long did it take me? I'm sure I could manage faster than five minutes!" Nicole asked as she looked at Wain with a confident smile.

Wain shrugged, "You did pretty quick, you dealt with those golems in two minutes, but is this the end?"

"Agh...? What are you talking about?" Nicole muttered with a confused look as Wain pointed in the direction behind her.

"You only destroyed five golems out of six, so I would advise you not to celebrate your victory before your time." Wain said calmly, looking at the last golem.

Nicole slowly turned as her eyes went wide, "Wait... How is it possible...? This one is so huge, but I only just noticed it."

Step. Step. Step.

The Emerald Golem slowly stepped forward, staring intently at Nicole. There was no fear in his eyes, despite the fact that Nicole had just killed five golems, he simply looked at her as a worthy opponent.

"Fine! I was just too distracted by the others! Maybe you're a little bigger than them, but it'll take me less than ten seconds to beat you!" Nicole said confidently as she lunged forward, completely replicating her previous attack.

The golem just stood there, fully accepting Nicole's attack.

"What...?" Nicole muttered in disbelief since she couldn't leave even a scratch on the Golem's chest.

Bang.

At the same moment, the Golem's massive fist slammed into her, sending her down at tremendous speed.
