    At the same time as the ursed Tree King was shattered and eaten by Iris, three Hidden Bosses emerged from the soil deep down, as if triggered by the death of their ally.


    Their presences held great magical power, which resonated through the entire battlefield, intimidating anyone that sensed it.


    An enormous vine monster covered in several colorful roses, each one holding an eye capable of inflicting a curse, arge bee-fly hybrid beast with a sharp, poisonous stinger, and a giant golem made of ck ore and covered with colorful jewels.


    As it felt their presences appear, the entity within therge castle sighed, clenching his fists.


    "Graddon… Is this the fate that the other Archdemons have decided for us? Trapped within this space-time singrity… And I cannot even move from where I am if they don''t open the door? What kind of ursed existence is this? Forced to see as my subordinates are ughtered one by one…! Curse you, Archdemons!"


    As the entity cursed the "Archdemons", Noah and his party prepared for battle.


    The three Hidden Bosses unleashed their powerful and thick auras, as they suddenly dominated all the monsters on the battlefield and forced them to obey them.


    Noah, through Fartalk, began to n what to do.


    "They would be annoying to fight together, let''s separate them, and fight against them. Iris, Adamantine, youe with me, we''ll go towards the golem…" said Noah.


    Iris and Adamantine quickly answered rather quickly.


    "Alright!" said Iris.


    "Golem? No meat…" sighed Adamantine.


    "There will be meatter. Arthur, Timassa, and Clementina will go against the bug." Said Noah.


    Arthur, Timassa, and Clementina nodded in affirmation.


    "We''ll take it down quickly!" said Arthur.


    "Leave it to us, master," said Timassa.


    "No problem," said Clementina.


    "Noire, Sakura, and Sugar, you three will go with Jon and fight the vine monster. If it possesses a lot of eyes it means a lot of curses. Jon is the best at curses while your robotic bodies should be naturally immune to most curses too," said Noah.


    Jon, Sakura, Sugar, Noire all answered almost at the same time.


    "Yes, my lord." Said Jon.


    "We shall take it down…" said Noire.


    "Uwah, we are finally battling a big boss now!" said Sakura.


    "I will do my best," said Sugar.


    Noah nodded, as he had summoned Iris and Adamantine to his side, and flew directly towards the three Hidden Bosses, who felt his threatening presence right away!


    Simrly, Arthur and the rest were summoned at his side as he flew, and all of them formed their groups and separated into three!


    The three hidden bosses, simrly to the ursed Tree King, were able to speak rather easily, ad immediately began to chat as they saw the Vampires'' n before rushing towards them.


    "So these fiends are the ones that defeated Graddon!" said the Rose Vine King with an ear-piercing voice, as his tentacles waved around and leaked slimy venomous fluids.


    "Damned otherworldly demons… our lord cannot even walk outside of his castle anymore, and we couldn''te earlier because we were forced into strange spaces until certain conditions were fulfilled…! Were those conditions… the death of our friend?!" roared the Bee-Fly King as his wings began to emit loud sounds, hisrge ws constantly cracking in anger.


    "Graddon! We must avenge Graddon! Kill! KILL THEM ALL!" roared the Golem King, as his enormous body began to move, all the jewels over his body started to glow with many magical colors, emitting bright lights!


    "Wait, you idiot, we need to do this together!" said the Bee-Fly King, trying to stop the Golem King, as he charged power from his crystals and ran towards the group of vampiric undead, unleashing an enormous colorful beam of light!


    FLAAASH!


    However, Noah, Iris, and Adamantine intercepted it head-on!


    Noah''s crimson aura, Iris''s phantasmal blue aura, and Adamantine''s abyssal shadow aurabined into an enormous mass of energy, shing against the powerful magic beam generated by the Golem King, and shing against it as they kept pushing through!


    CLASH!


    "Guoooh?! You can… resist that?" asked the Golem King in surprise, as Noah answered rather cheekily.


    "This is nothing! Lifeblood Exceed, Lunar sh!" roared Noah, as he charged his entire body with thebination of his Soul, Vitality, and Mana, until darkness and crimson-red energies concentrated into hisrge Bone w and in Excalibur which he held in the other hand!


    SLASH!


    Noah unleashed a powerful Lunar sh that shed against the beam of magic with enormous power, but it seemed that the Golem King was not over yet, as he kept charging magic, as if it were limitless!


    FLASH!


    "And I am just starting…! Lifeblood Exceed, Execution!"


    Noah concentrated the power of his very being, going for abo attack using Lifeblood Exceed Techniques! Right after Lunar sh came Execution, which was a vertical sh attack with enough strength to slice a mountain in half!


    SLAAAASH!


    BOOM!


    By receiving additional power from Iris and Adamantine at his side, the enormous vertical sh carried phantasmal mes and abyssal shadows from the two girls, which made Noah''s Execution attack even more potent!


    An enormous wave of crimson red energy, phantasmal blue mes, and abyssal shadows rushed through the beam of magic, as it sliced it in half!


    FLASH!


    His beam simply sliced in half… this was something ridiculous!


    The other two Hidden Bosses were shocked by Noah and hispanion''s might, the three of them sliced the powerful Jewel Beam made by the Golem King as if it were absolutely nothing at all!


    However, the Execution sh continued, slicing through the beam and reaching the Golem King, hitting him directly!


    BOOOM!


    "UNNGGGGAAAGGHH…!"


    The Golem King roared in surprise and pain, as he was thrown into the air, despite his size and weight!


    However, his enormous body was quickly called back to the ground by gravity''s grace, as he fell over the dirt, generating arge crater!


    BOOM!


    Large chunks of his body began to fall apart, as the Golem King quickly stood up by shape-shifting his body as if he had no defined form, taking the shape of some kind of quadruped beast resembling a bear!


    "GRROOOAAAH…!"


    He roared once more, as he confronted the trio that came after him, Noah, Iris, and Adamantine all smiled as if this giant pile of ore was a mere prey to them!


    The viciousness of the Noctem Family knew no bounds!


    sh! sh! sh!


    The three quickly separated, aiming at three different directions and areas of the giant Golem King.


    Noah knew that the best way to defeat a golem was to crack it from all around and make it crumble into pieces!


    "Phantasmal Knives!"


    Iris quickly summoned her Soul Weapon, which had evolved into two beautiful knives after reaching A-Rank, dividing themselves in the process! Such division was in fact part of a special Skill of the Soul Weapon, and it let Iris wield it in both of her hands.


    The Phantasmal Knives glowed as they were covered in will-o-wisps, and Iris shed towards the Golem''s rear with all of her might, covering herself in her Phantasmal Blue mes and her Spectral Soul-Beast Form!


    CRAAASH!


    Iris began to slice through the enormous Golem King with her knives, slicingrge chunks of its body apart one by one!


    And then, Noah and Adamantine acted!
