Wain and Erza reached the end of the passage; it was a massive, stone gate. Erza intuitively sensed danger from it and prepared for battle.

"What shall we do?"

"Of course, go forward, I doubt there's anything on the way back." Erza said, "You open the gate, and I'll cover you."

Wain nodded. He knew he was weaker and needed to trust his safety to another person, but he didn't worry about it. Normally Wain wouldn't have agreed to this, but he and Erza had a specific relationship. She would do anything to save Wain in case of danger, and that played into his favor.

Crackling.

The gate slid with a creak, and a mighty wind burst out of the crack. Wain couldn't even stay on his feet, and Erza caught him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, but what was that?"

"I don't know..." Erza shook her head.

They walked forward and found themselves in a vast room, a huge golem in white, heavy armor stood in the center of it. On the walls were round white slabs, the designs on which flashed with blue light.

"Do we have to kill it?" Erza asked, and her aura began to intensify.

"Wait." Wain put a hand on her shoulder, "Don't forget our main goal, to put the stone sword on the altar. Maybe we can just go around it, or the altar is in it."

"Okay."

Erza stepped forward, and a click was heard. Erza looked under her feet and saw the pressure plate she had stepped on.

"Fuck."

Crackle.

The golem's eyes lit up, and he looked at Erza and slowly raised his hand. Erza prepared to defend herself, but suddenly the golem's palm lit up, and he looked at Wain, and a beam flew out of the golem's hand, heading to him.

Erza reacted instantly and repulsed the beam with the back of her palm. It flew off into one of the slabs and destroyed it, and several cracks appeared in the golem's armor.

"Damn..." Erza muttered, looking at the burn on her palm.

'If that beam had hit me, it would have made a hole in me.'

"Bastard!" Erza exclaimed, and several dark spheres appeared around the golem. They exploded, and the energy of darkness consumed the golem, and it gradually dispersed.

"What?" Erza was shocked as her powerful attack did not leave even a scratch on the golem.

The golem stepped forward, and the ground trembled as it slowly walked toward them.

"Our attacks don't seem to be able to penetrate its armor. We need to destroy the slabs, and when the brawl subsides, attack." Wain said, pointing at the walls.

"Got it." Erza raised her hand and created several dark spheres next to the slabs, and they exploded. However, the platforms remained intact.

"Hmm? My attacks weren't strong enough?"

"No, we need to aim the golem beams at the plates." Wain said and ran toward one of the slabs. Dark wings erupted from his back, and he jumped high and hooked his arm on one of the slabs.

"What are you doing?" Erza exclaimed anxiously. She knew that Wain would not be able to survive a beam hit.

"Don't worry. It's okay."

Wain clenched his hand into a fist, and electrical discharges appeared over the golem. They turned into a powerful pillar of thunder, which fell on the monster. This attack didn't hurt the golem, but now it turned its attention to Wain.

The golem's eyes glowed, and another beam flew from his hand.

Wain flapped his wings and jumped off the slab at the last moment. There was an explosion behind him, and the slab shattered into many pieces, and several cracks appeared on the golem's shoulder.

Erza realized what Wain's plan was and did the same.

The golem didn't try to attack them in any way other than energy beams, and over time the number of slabs decreased significantly. The golem was large and invulnerable, but slow and clumsy. Wain and Erza dodged all attacks with ease, and the golem's armor was already completely cracked.

"Great, just a little more." Erza said, looking at the two remaining slabs on the opposite walls.

She jumped on one of them, and the golem fired again.

"What? Why didn't it break?" Erza looked at the slab in surprise. The beam definitely hit it, but instead of shattering like the others, the slab completely absorbed the beam's energy.

"I don't know..." Wain muttered. He felt that something bad had happened.

Whooooooosh.

The slabs suddenly began to spin and glowed red. The golem's eyes changed and became like two crimson flames. The golem became much faster and ran at them.

Bam.

The golem approached Erza and lifted his leg high. He put it down, and the ground shook.

Erza's eyes narrowed, and she quickly bounced back, the golem's leg swept in front of her face.

"Damn! He tried to crush me!"

Erza became angry and created three crosses of fire. It headed for the crack on her chest, but the golem swung its arm and destroyed them.

Wain frowned. The situation was not on their side, they easily got rid of the previous slabs because the golem was slow, and their actions helped them, but now everything had changed.

The golem ran after Erza and, like a troubled beast, flailed its arms, trying to reach her. Erza dodged, but she was a meter away from being crushed by the golem's giant leg each time.

She tried to fight back or somehow stop the golem, but it was like a man trying to move a mountain.

Wain could have helped Erza, but he saw no point. While she was a distraction, he was looking for a way to come out of this situation victorious.

'Hmm, past slabs were invulnerable to our attacks, but now...' Wain thought, and a phantom kite tail appeared above him. It collapsed on one of the slabs and shattered it.

Wain smiled but then frowned as the shards glowed and fully restored the slab.
