Chapter 399 Titan (5)
"Their numbers didn't increase much overnight," Samuel said when they woke up.
"Maybe fire Golems aren't nocturnal creatures. They might need the sun as well to be that bothersome," Samara said.
Billy played dumb and didn't join their conversation. He worked throughout the whole night, killing the fire Golems and making them march south. However, thanks to that, he had the confidence that they might solve a good part of the problems in that area that same day. In any case, maybe the scorching heat was finally getting him. Still, Billy had a weird idea overnight, and he decided to test it in the morning. It was a risky one, so he needed the twins to watch his back. It wasn't like the usual where he planned to do everything by himself, but it couldn't be helped. Besides, his idea was rather weird... having them to watch his back will really help.
"I am going to do something different as a test, and I want you guys to cover me, all right?" Billy asked.
"I can't imagine what big bro considers different," Samara said while frowning.

First of all, Billy began to create a massive ice block that was twenty meters tall. After that, he added things like a head and limbs to that thing. It didn't take long for the twins to realize that he was making an ice golem. But one much bigger than the five meters tall in the area. While Billy was finishing the details, he wondered if an Earth golem wouldn't be better… Still, that was just a test, so it was fine.
Once Billy finished the ice golem, he made it move using his elemental control and with the help of Telekinesis. It took a while for him to get them used to making that move, but he got some unexpected results when he made it move toward the fire Golems.
The enemies bombarded the ice golem with fire bullets, but since the creature was made based on Billy's magic and cost tons of mana, something like that wouldn't take it down. Eventually, the fire Golems charged and jumped to attack the massive ice golem, but a single punch or kick was enough to smash their heads.
You obtained 200 experience points.
The skill Water Manipulation obtained 100 experience points.
The skill Water Transformation obtained 100 experience points.
…
The twins were speechless. Putting the size aside, they didn't expect that the ice golem would have that much firepower. When dozens of enemies jumped to attack it at the same time, Billy made that spin, and its fists smashed most of them. The others that hit the body were destroyed by ice spreads that emerged from the ice golem body.
"You guys need to help me here…" Billy said.
Samara and Samuel began to attack with their crossbows, and they watched over the back of the ice golem since the fire Golems were ignoring even Billy. Maybe it was due to its size, but Billy's creation was their sole focus. Although the heat of the fire Golems was starting to melt the ice golem, Billy recovered more than enough mana to solve that problem. The ice golem also emanated a cold air that fought back the heat, so the twins' attacks were more efficient than on the previous day.
While the hunting speed was a bit slower, it was a lot safer than before as well. Without the tension, they didn't get very tired and kept going for quite a while… Until Billy heard a voice coming from behind.
"What are you doing?"
Billy's heart almost stopped for a moment. He didn't even recognize Kate's voice due to the fact that he was so concentrated on the task ahead.
"It is you, Kate…" Billy said and then sighed. "Don't sneak on me like… That."
Kate didn't sneak in, she approached alongside hundreds of her students, and Billy didn't notice because he was too excited watching his creation spread chaos among the enemies. He even was showing a large grin while doing that.
"As usual, you always come up with a weird answer when facing problems…" Kate said while frowning as she watched the Ice Golem.
"Putting that aside, you sure came a lot earlier than I expected…" Billy said.
"I made those kids run like there was no tomorrow," Kate explained. "I figured out we would use more mana when I heard that the enemies were fire Golems, so we won't need their stamina. Besides, that probably forced them to learn that skill."
In any case, while Billy was controlling the ice golem and being looked at like he was an unknown creature by Kate's students, he also heard the situation about the other groups. They split up as soon as they reached Aura's territory and heard about his actions. Kate and Sarah's group, who used more magic, would work on slowing down the monsters at their starting point. That was why she headed to the capital in order to attack the fire Golems from north alongside the soldiers from there. Lily, Natalie, and Alexander were traveling to the areas that the fire Golems were targeting in other parts of the state, but they probably still were moving.
"I guess I can leave this place with you guys. I will wear on the damage control and bring the others when we will eliminate all the fire Golems in other areas," Billy said.
"Can that stay here?" Kate asked while pointing at the ice golem.
"I can control it with my magic. It isn't a living thing," Billy explained.
"I see. Anyway, you two make sure that your brother won't do anything crazier than that. Otherwise, people will start fearing him," Kate said. "I can already see the headache that I will have explaining to the people of the city what he just did."
"Leave it to us, big sister," Samara said.
