“Where the hell are we?” James shouted in confusion. He didn’t understand how he got teleported to this place, but Brian was still calm.
“It seems like Ely changed the plan, which means something changed. Lily, scan the surroundings!”
“Sir, I am sensing powerful energies at the front and the back.”
Hearing her words, Brian narrowed his eyes and thought.
‘So, she changed the position of us because we couldn’t manage to get the attention of every golem here. Well, it was the plan, after all. Thankfully, Ely found out before going there.’
‘So now, we have to attract their attention as well. But, there will be one problem. If we run toward the front, we will eventually stumble against the golems, which means they will surround us.’
‘I must figure out a way to escape such a position.’
“James, I want you to be angry. Start the rampage!” Brian looked at his friend and ordered him.
“Haha! This is the favorite part of your plan. Let’s destroy things but wait, how am I supposed to get angry?” James was a bit confused. Anger wasn’t something that he could tap into instantly.
He needed a valid reason for it, and Brian had that reason.
“Sorry, James! Lily, show him the Secret Footage 32!”
Saying so, Brian walked away from James. Thirty seconds later, immense energy burst out of him. James’ hair and eyes turned red as he rushed toward the hordes of golems.
Brian finally turned around and saw his friend beaming angrily; he was quite guilty. This was the memory that James wanted to forget, but at this moment, they needed his destructive power.
While James went to chase destruction, Brian started condensing the dark mana around him. He couldn’t use this move unless he concentrated for a long time.
That’s why he sent James to distract the golems. He needed a proper plan to escape from their golems, so he had to find a way.
Although he released his dark mana, he tried to keep it above the ground. This skill could go deep into the ground once it touched the ground, so he had to be more careful here.
After all, this wasn’t actually the ground but the body of a creature. He had to be as careful as he could. He took out several small cubes that transformed into a flat metal sheet.
He kept multiplying the flat sheet as much as it covered the whole kilometer in size. He quickly started pouring his dark mana into the metal. It took a long time, but during this time, James returned bruises all over his body and nearly hundreds of golems following him.
At the same time, the other part of the golems had also returned. Brian stood in the middle of the metal as he kept putting more and more dark mana into the metal.
‘What the hell is that? It must be his plan, right? Well, he isn’t stopping me from entering. That means he wants me to get at the middle.’ James saw the metal plate as well and immediately jumped to the conclusion.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The sound of footsteps was getting louder. Golems were arriving toward the metallic plate from both sides.
Brian took a deep breath and stopped putting more mana into it. He saved a little bit for something else. He waited for James to arrive. Until then, he looked out for the Golems from the opposite side.
Fortunately, they were very close. They took nearly the same time to reach the metal plate. Since it was only a few inches above the ground, it wasn’t hard for them to climb up.
“Hu! Hu! Hu! Dude, what’s the plan? What are we going to do now?” James panted hard and asked as he put his hand on Brian and asked.
Brian suddenly hugged him. James was startled, but the next moment, he found the dark wings appearing behind Brian.
“Dark Magic- Flying Crows Summoning”
The wings didn’t appear behind him. Instead, crows appeared behind him and lifted him. There were three crows, each of which had greater flying strength than Slaughtering Crows.
As they slowly flew up, the Golems gathered in the middle of the metallic plate.
“Dark Magic- Darkness Veil”
Suddenly, the metallic plate released the dark veil around it, covering the golems inside. Seeing this vein, James couldn’t help but ask.
“Are you sure it can hold on to those golems?”
“It must.”
“What do you meannnnnnnnnn?”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Thud! Thud!
Both of them fell to the ground. But, James quickly wrapped his hands around Brian. His back struck the ground and almost broke some bones, but Brian was fine.
“Thanks, man! Can you walk?” Brian helped him get up and asked.
“Yeah, but I feel like I broke a few bones.” James nodded his head and answered.
“Well, we did fall on the stone.” Brian sighed and looked at James deeply. He clenched his fist and lowered his head.
“Sorry for showing you that footage!”
Hearing his words, James was startled, but quickly, a smile appeared on his face.
“Man, what the hell are you talking about? You were the one who helped me find my identity in the first place. God knows when I would have discovered their reason for raising me if you weren’t there.”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know I was adopted.” James slapped his back and shook his head.
For him, it was all in the past. In fact, he wouldn’t even get angry now, but it does touch his sore spot. That’s why he used it to amplify his anger.
Although James didn’t blame him, Brian still felt guilty. Maybe James wouldn’t be his best friend if he hadn’t discovered him being an orphan. He wouldn’t have invited James into these messes if he hadn’t been his best friend.
He was risking the life of his friend. Each time, his friend would do anything for him and only make the situation harsh for James.
Pat!
Suddenly, James slapped his head and shouted, “Do you think that if you hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t be here risking my life? Listen up, Brian, you might be the smartest person in the world, but you don’t understand the human heart.”
“If there is a person who wouldn’t hesitate even a second to betray you, then there will always be someone who wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice for you. Those are your true friends.”
“Although you don’t have many friends, you still got Barry and me. And, we won’t hesitate to help you regardless of your difficulties because we know you will help us.”
“Besides…..”
James clenched his fists as he lowered his head and said, “I always feel useless because I couldn’t be there when you lost your parents. I am a hundred times worse than Charlotte.”
“No, you….”
Brian was trying to say something, but he closed Brian’s mouth and pointed his thumb at his chest.
“Even though I am a hundred times worse than Charlotte. I am still your best friend, so that I will be a hundred times better than anyone else.”
Brian was startled. He slowly lowered his head and a warm smile appeared on his face.
‘Thanks, James! Thanks for being my friend!’
He wanted to say these words to him, but he knew James would get angry at him, so he only kept these words in his heart.
“Come on! What are you waiting for? Your magic won’t hold them for a long time, right?” James shouted from the front. He was already walking toward the location.
Brian quickly followed him with laughter.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing!”
“There must be something. Tell me! Did you make some kind of cosmic joke that only you can understand?”
“Maybe!”
“Man, you should watch standup comedy and be down to earth person if you want to make more friends.”
“Nah! It would be a hassle to have more friends.”
“What? You think we are hassles?”
“I don’t want many people to sacrifice for me because I can’t do that for them.”
“Yeah! Yeah! I know. You won’t hesitate to blow up the earth if it is for your daughter.”
“I don’t know, James. When I decided on something like that for the first time, I thought I was going crazy. But then I realized I was pretty much doing the same for my parents. I did create the Celestial Killing Bomb against the vampires and werewolves.”
“You are very extreme. Maybe you are right. You shouldn’t have too many friends. I did find it in a hard way.”
“Huh! What do you mean?”
“Well, when it comes to you worrying about your daughter or your daughter worrying about you, it is always extreme. But, for them, it became more practical.”
“What the hell happened?”
“You told me about Dark Energy Missle models, right? Well, your daughters shot the strongest missile at that galaxy. If that man hadn’t used all of his powers to block the attack, billions would’ve died, and that’s considering him blocking half of its power.”
“Haaaaa. I can’t blame them, right? Hey, James, I have thought of an idea.”
