I Played the Role of a Hated Hero, but for Some Reason, I'm Loved by the Last Boss and Living W

Chapter 34

“Now, what should I do about this situation…?”

This is the first time I’ve seen a golem.

【 Stone Golem 】.

As the name suggests, it is a golem with a body of rock.

It is also a well-known golem in the world.

It has good offensive power, but its movements are slow. However, due to its hard body, it can repel attacks from ordinary adventurers.

Because of its high defensive power, it is designated as a B-class Golem by the Adventurer’s Guild.

Even so, there were golems crowded in front of the titan, and it was not going to be easy to break through.

In addition, the golems, which are not much of a threat when taken one by one, are quite troublesome when there are so many of them.

No matter how slow they are, they can still run as fast as a human.

If you’re not careful, there’s a good chance you’ll be caught off guard.

『 Hahaha! Is this the first time you’ve seen this many golems, kid? 』

With a twisted mouth, Titan looks down at me with a disgusting smile on his face.

Golems are demons that rarely act in groups.

It’s certainly the first time I’ve seen so many of them crowded together in one place.

However, this situation is not out of control.

It will take some stalling, but there is a way to take out the golems and Titans altogether.

It’s a little difficult, but I have to try…

The more time I spend, the more disadvantageous the situation may become.

If that’s the case, there’s no choice but to do it.

“If you think you can handle me with numbers, you’re weak, Titans.”

『 Still talking down to me… let’s see how long you can keep up your pretentious attitude! 』

As if reacting to the titanic voice, the stone golems all started moving at once.

The golem that was closest to me immediately raised its fist and came at me, trying to crush me.

However, the fists that were being swung down were not moving that fast.

If you can see the situation calmly and without fear, you can easily avoid it.

“I’ll give you something in return, dickhead!”

And after avoiding the attack, I crush the golem’s body with my strengthened fists and kicks.

The golem crumbles to the ground with a dull thud.

As expected, a demon of this magnitude would not be a struggle.

But…

“…Oh, come on, are you serious?!”

Right in front of me, the golem regenerated its crushed body and stood up.

The crushed body was restored to its original state in a few seconds, and it attacked again.

『 Fuahahaha! Don’t think of them as mere golems! As long as I keep sending them mana, they’ll absorb earth from the ground and revive instantly! 』

Damn, it’s cheating to have such a regeneration method!

But even if I say that, the situation will not get better.

If I want to overcome the situation, I have to complete the thing as soon as possible.

But to do that, I have to make sure that Titan doesn’t notice what I’m trying to do.

But well, the situation is many times better than when I fought the Demiurgos… I’ll do it!

I dodged the golem’s attack and ran around the battlefield in all directions, left and right.

Trying to make it seem as if I am in a panic and am struggling left and right with nothing to do.

It’s not something I can say out loud, but I’m pretty good at pretending to be someone I’m not.

After all, I was able to fool Martina and the others almost perfectly two years ago.

“Ah! Uwaa! ―――Whoa!”

『 Hahahaha! You’re nothing! You’re helpless against a regenerating golem! The only thing you can do is run away, like a maggot crawling on the ground! 』

Titan seems to not doubt his superiority.

In addition, as if he liked the sight of me running away, he didn’t seem to come forward to attack me.

This was also true with Demiurge. The more powerful he is, the more overconfident and conceited he becomes.

The belief that you are the absolute strongest person in the world is what creates the gaps.

That’s why they never think that they will be tripped up by someone weaker than them!

“Now, it’s time to finish…”

I look at the magic circles on the ground, which are only faintly visible, and make my final preparations.

From a distance, the magic circles almost blend in with the ground, and it would be difficult for Titan’s huge body to even see them.

They were set up secretly on the ground while I was running away from the golem.

As a final touch, I set up a magic circle as a base point at the center where the magic circle was set up.

With this, preparations were complete.

All that was left to do was to leave this place.

I concentrate all my mana on my legs and quickly get away from the group of golems.

『 Nuoo?! 』

Then, Titan gave me a quizzical look.

He was probably wondering why I had suddenly left the place, after having been moving around among the golems all this time.

However, he noticed it too late.

In the first place, Titan should have questioned the fact that he had stayed in the middle of such a dense crowd of golems all this time without showing any signs of slipping out.

“Thank God you’re a power-driven idiot, Titans! Let’s go! The Sanctuary that freezes even time, manifest here and now―――【 Zero Field 】!”

『 What?! 』

As soon as I completed my chant, the magic circles I had set up all shone at once, drawing a circle of light.

The light glowed pale and white, and in the next instant, a wide area of ground was transformed at once into a land of ice.

Then, the golems that were standing in the area that had been transformed into ice began to freeze from their feet and climb up their bodies.

In the end, their entire bodies were covered in ice, and turned into statues.

『 Th-This is…?! 』

Titan’s voice trembled.

This magic is a super-competitor to the ice magic that I first unleashed on Titan,『 Ice Wave 』.

In addition, it was magic called『 Installation Type 』magic, which is activated by first drawing a magic circle on the ground and then releasing the mana stored in it at once.

Because the mana that is released from the body is released in small amounts when the magic circle is first set up, there is no pause immediately after the casting of a large spell.

The pause after casting a spell is a phenomenon that occurs because the mana is released from the body all at once.

However, with this type of magic, the more time and effort you put in at the beginning, the more you can avoid the pause afterward.

It’s not meant to be set up in the middle of a battle, but as a trap that can be set up beforehand.

However, Titan lost his cool and overlooked the preparations I had made before activating the magic.

If this had been any other of my former friends… it would not have worked.

However, this strategy worked because Titan were so absorbed in their power that they didn’t see the situation as it was.

“In this icy land, golems can’t take in soil, and new golems can’t be created.”

『 Kuhh! Damn it! So what? Even if the whole golem disappears, I’m still here! You can’t win! No matter how many mooks you kill, there are still demons I can create! You don’t stand a chance. 』

“No… you lose when this magic is activated, Titan.”

『 ?? What are you talking about?! 』

“See, it’s working, isn’t it?”

『 Wha?! I can’t move my body?! 』

Titan’s body turned white as if it had been frosted, and gradually began to freeze with a cracking sound.

He was not instantly iced over like the Stonegorms, but his body was gradually stiffening and his movements were being blocked.

“The area where the Zero Field activated is filled with mana that can freeze any living thing. It seems that no matter how hard your body is to be affected by magic, you could not prevent the effects of mana from entering your body.”

Any living thing that breathes can’t help but inhale the freezing mana that fills this place.

Titans are no exception to this rule.

Now, inside his body, he’s probably starting to freeze from the inside out.

I, on the other hand, deployed a magic barrier at the same time as activating the magic, nullifying the effect of the Zero Field.

Therefore, I can move around freely even in this place that has turned into a dead land.

『 Kuhh, yo, you, ba… 』

Titan looks as if it’s hard to speak. But his eyes burn with hatred for me, and he forces his frozen body to move.

“It’s over, Titans… Sink this thing!”

I jumped on the Titan’s arm, which was stretched out in a column of ice, and ran up like before.

But this time, Titan couldn’t move their bodies properly and just stared at me as if they were looking at something repulsive.

I guess he can’t even speak anymore.

But even so, I won’t show any mercy.

This guy owes me too much for damaging the World Tree!

“Tengu’s… no, the giant! I’m going to break your overgrown nostrils!”

『 ―――?!! 』

I run-up to the top of Titan’s head and jump up.

I then rotated my body vertically and landed a mana-enhanced heavy strike on the top of Titan’s head.

The impact caused Titan’s body to stagger, and he fell forward toward the ground.

The last time I checked, there was no light in Titan’s eyes, and I knew that I had succeeded in knocking him out completely.

And so, with a loud thud, Titans face down on the icy ground.

“Ush! It’s over!”

As if to declare my victory, I made a big gut pose in the air
