[Stand Up, Barret]
“Andrei! Principal!”
What happened? They had had an overwhelming advantage.
Andrei might have been hit by a counterattack from the golem after it had regained its powers.
But the principal—at a closer look, her face was pale and her breathing was rough. Evidently, her condition wasn’t looking good.
“Barrett! Let me help!”
“Me too!”
Jarvis and Madeline, now free, came to my sides with swords in hand.
Wait, where did they get those swords?
As I was wondering, their fathers and their mercenaries, out cold, caught my sight. They must have beaten them and take their weapons while we were fighting. They sure were quick to adapt to situations.
“Just small fries, you won’t make any difference!”
Marden… he must think victory was already in his grasp.
Sure, we were now in an overwhelming disadvantageous position.
–But it wasn’t like we couldn’t reverse it.
“Hm? You also wield a demon sword?”
At this point, Marden finally realized that my sword is no ordinary sword. Like Raul’s, my sword become stronger the more mana I infused into it, but… it was kind of different from the demon sword.
“Mine is not a demon sword. –It’s a holy sword.”
“?! A holy sword?!”
Marden immediately put up his guard—but it was too late.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
I coat the holy sword with magical water.
“?! You produced the water earlier with the holy sword’s pow–”
“That’s—right!”
In response to Marden’s words, I cut off the golem’s right arm.
Just like earlier, the golem weakened—But how did it beat Andrei then? The answer became obvious.
“It’s futile!”
Maden infused mana into severed part of the golem’s right arm, and in an instant, it grew back.
“Wha?!”
To think it could regenerate so quickly… but now it was clear who we should defeat first.
“Madeline! We’ll beat that magician!”
“Okay, Jarvis!”
As if they read my mind, Jarvis and Madeline rushed Marden.
“Impertinent!”
Marden fought back his former hostages.
Now that he had his hands full dealing with both of them, I could focus on the golem.
“Now that I think about it… Ms. Teixeira has taught us about golems in class.”
Suddenly, I recalled golems’ characteristics.
If my memory served me correctly, there was a magic tool embedded in golems, acting as their heart. Unless it was destroyed, golems could keep regenerating.
“…Here goes nothing!”
To destroy the golem’s heart――the core, I readied my holy sword again.
