CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE
Sometimes the simplest of attacks produce the best results
~
Walls of earth were quickly rising up out of the ground
They were fairly tall and extended half way around
At some places they’d already stopped lava where it flowed
But one section of wall was slowly started to erode
Crystal joined the group while Boulder kept raising his wall
Enjoying himself, though the lava was quite hard to stall
“Hello Hawk, how was your visit with our dear old friend?
Will we all be conscripted once again in the end?”
“Actually, I met with another king today
A king of ocean dwelling nymphs who had a lot to say
Oak took care of business in the capital quickly
But things have gotten kind of complicated honestly”
Everyone had questions, but Belle was quick as always
“We’ll discuss that later, this isn’t the best of days
Hawk, you try and lure the golems away from the hill
That should make them slightly easier to trap and kill”
Achievement: Priorities in Order
It’s nice to see somebody thinking as clearly as you
Those who make the right call as quickly as that are few
But when you do talk about that, tread quite carefully
I sense something strange happening to Hawk’s deity
Nobody could disagree with her quick suggestion
And after thinking for a moment, they all took action
Hawk flew up and summoned torrents from the humid air
And fired them like a cannon into all the golems there
The water failed to cool them but it hit with such pressure
That it was more than several weaker golems could endure
They tumbled down the hill and landed with a massive thud
Rolling in the lava they created of the mud
They slowly rose like monolithic structures to their feet
Their massive forms dripping with an unbelievable heat
One of them began to climb the hill again, but then
Both of them began to stumble on the ground again
Crystal had been waiting and preparing an attack
And all at once the lava beneath the golems turned black

A pit then opened up and both the golems quickly sank
Appearing fairly panicked though their faces still were blank
Once buried in the ground up to their necks, Boulder appeared
Preparing an attack that in some nations still is feared
He summoned all the metals in the ground toward his fist
Encasing it in armour all the way up to his wrist
It hardened into something like a shiny cannon ball
And Boulder started running with no hesitance at all
And when he swung his arm to punch the massive golem’s head
His friends all dove for cover, fearing they might wind up dead
The moment Boulder’s fist made contact, everything went white
The impact his punch produced was burning fierce and bright
The golems head, along with a good chunk of the hillside
Became projectile dust as a big crater opened wide
“There we go, two golems down, let’s take care of the rest
That cursed one with the mana buffs though, that’ll be a test”
The others came out from their hiding places and looked at the mess
Crystal shook her head more in annoyance than distress
“Save some energy for the rest of those things up there
You always burn through your mana before you are aware”
Crystal sighed but already their plan was underway
And soon five more great golems were destroyed in the same way
But even though they’d taken care of seven of the ten
The volcano was starting to get much hotter again
Belle called everybody to regroup and said quickly
“I’m pretty sure that big one will finish something shortly

This ancient golem has been gathering its mana up
And it seems that it has just about filled its great cup
It’s likely just about to launch an attack at the ground
Excited by the magma far below that it has found
Hawk agreed and seemed to have an idea or two
“I can’t deal with that defense, I don’t know about you
Anything we tried would just bounce off that massive thing
But I thought of something that may just be called cheating”
She looked at Boulder with a wicked smile and then she said
“It’s time to put those rumours of your past exploits to bed
With help, could you destabilize a portal of that size?
Or was the story of you closing portals full of lies?”
Boulder smiled and looked a little crazy to his wife
“Yes I can, I’ve never told a white lie in my life!
If the rest of you coordinated an attack
I should be able to make the space around that one crack”
He pointed to a giant portal at the golem’s side
Start to summon a spell and filling up with pride
“Just attack it with whatever mana you can find
I’ll go punch the portal now, I hope that you don't mind”
