Chapter 119: Taking Back (4)
Rain used Fireballs on the heads of the golems, and he opened some holes in their formation, but since it looked like all of the five thousand enemies there could summon golems, the holes soon were filled.

"This is useful, but I can't focus on them..." Rain thought as he saw his allies reaching the golems.
Jori looked like he didn't know what means holding back and saving energy, he began to swing his sword around viciously, but the golem that he targeted blocked his strikes with his arms.
Reca faced the same fate, her heavy thrusts targeted the heads of the monsters, but they blocked the spear with their arms. Soon enough, the monsters began to move and swing their arms around, and while his allies blocked the attacks, they were pushed backward, and their weapons began to tremble thanks to the weight.
"Ignore the golems! Focus on the casters!" Someone shouted.
That was easier said than done... still, Rain used his earth magic to raise some earth walls from the ground, and those emerged from below the golems and made them fall, opening another hole in their formation... before the enemies could summon some of that beast, Rain stepped forward with his movement speed skill and then appeared sixty meters away from his original point, right in front of the enemies.
"I should give a name to this skill already..." Rain thought.
"Rain! Look!" Jori shouted while pointing to the walls, and then Rain saw some suspicious and yet familiar-looking people there. "They are back."
The bone shooters... the enemies pointed their hands toward the army, but before some of them could fire, they fell after being hit with arrows in their heads. Rain looked to the side since the arrows came from there... The enemies were two hundred meters away, and Asche still killed them with that much ease.
In any case, a bunch of arrows and bone darts began to fall around, but the second volley barely hit anyone close to Rain. Liss used her magic and created a wind wall that decreased the power of the enemy's projectiles and made them fall without any power.
"I can't do this forever," Liss said while looking at Rain as if she was waiting for him to do something.
"Our lord is preparing another spell. Just hold your ground!" Someone else shouted.
It was clear that Branden was probably one of the best mages in the kingdom despite his young age. He was also quite the good tactician... while he didn't know anything about the enemies there, he knew that they wouldn't be able to show their true strength once the battle got too close to them.
Rain confirmed that while seeing the golems barely moving... since their Masters were being attacked, they couldn't be controlled that well.
"Hey, kid! We are breaking through!" A white-bearded man said after he approached. "We need to open the gates now, and our lord's magic can help with that; use yours to cover for both of our groups!"
Rain recognized the man. He was the guy that came to help Jori's group in the previous mission. Rain didn't know how come he got so much faith in Rain's magic, but it seemed he saw him in action in the last few minutes. Regardless, Rain didn't have time to think about that. He looked at his allies, and he just nodded. Both parties clustered together and then began to move.
"Rain, you stay in the middle alongside Terra," Jori declared while showing his face red and covered in sweat, thanks to the tension. "Cover our backs while Terra will heal the wounded. We can't stop until we reach the gate."
"All right," Rain said.
Rain had no idea what Branden was thinking, but he had an idea of his own on how he could open the gates of the city, even if they were sealed.
