Chapter 591: Irene
The gray giant's reaction was not sluggish, and after its body had been fed a dozen bullets by Karl, instead of letting out a howl of pain, it moved more quickly. As if it had gone on a rampage, it was so fast that it dragged down an afterimage behind it. Carl was also shocked by this sudden change, and the other party had already launched an attack on him.
It only took a little more than a second to get from a relatively long distance to the gray giant in front of him, and then Karl was confronted with its powerful fist. He broke out in a cold sweat and barely dodged the swift blow, blasting the remaining bullets from the revolver at the gray giant. The dark green corpse raider at the far end once again hurled a flaming skull at Karl, trying to push him into a corner once again.
Karl didn't have the heart to deal with the corpse snatchers anymore, because the gray giants were incredibly fast. If he had made a mistake, he would have recreated the scene just now, and if it hadn't been for Irene's sudden appearance, he would have been eaten by the corpse robbers by now, leaving only his bones. And although he hopes that Erin will not interfere, in this case, the other party will not stand still and watch Carl fall into crisis.
Just as he was wrestling with the Grey Giant, Erin's figure flashed behind the Grey Giant, and then headed straight for the corpse thieves, but Carl, who was busy facing the Grey Giant, did not notice this. The gray giant let out a roar and threw another powerful uppercut. Despite Cal's dodge, his back was grazed by the giant's attack. At that moment, Carl felt an amazing force flash through his back, and then the whole person fell forward uncontrollably.
If it weren't for the fact that the ground in front of him was relatively flat and there were no sharp stones protruding, Karl's face would have been pierced. He straightened up in embarrassment, turned around and hurriedly swept a shot, trying to distract the gray giant. However, the other party was not moved by the bullet, and gently waved his arm to take the bullet hard. Now it seems that the bullet has done very little damage to it.
Karl gritted his teeth and took out another bottle of alchemy potion from the potion bag, he had to make changes now, otherwise he would be killed by the other party sooner or later at the speed of the giant's rampage. He took a steady step and threw a G14 grenade at the giant, trying to pin it down. And the grenade did have a restraining effect, and it can be seen that the other party is still very afraid of the flying killing fragments. Carl took the opportunity to uncork the potion bottle and poured the entire bottle into his throat in one go.
The toxicity of the alchemy potion soon took effect, and the green tendons erupted on Carl's face, making him look like a demon. When he moved, it was at least two or three times faster than before. Toxicity affects the body and at the same time brings greater power to the body, which is the effect of alchemy potions. Although Carl had refused to take the more toxic alchemy potions most of the time, it was clear that he could not continue like this in this situation.
The gray giant was a monster without a mind, so it didn't think about why the human in front of it had suddenly become two or three times faster. Under its rampaging power, the speed of the two sides was almost the same, and an even more fierce battle began. Everything happened quickly, whether it was a bullet coming out of the chamber or a giant flicking his thick arms.
A line of blood rushed out of the giant's chest, and it was definitely not caused by a bullet, but a blade. Carl knew that this was the support that Erin had given her, and that it was the best opportunity she had created for herself. While the giant was sluggish from the attack of the gun, Karl stepped forward, jumped to his feet, and pressed the muzzles of two revolvers against the giant's head and pulled the trigger.
The gray giant's body collapsed violently, it did not change its body at the time of death like the orange giant it had met before, it did not separate and disintegrate, and it did not burst out of those annoying elemental spirits, and the fall simply represented the end of the gray giant. Karl put down his revolver and breathed a sigh of relief. As he looked farther away, the stumps and severed arms of the robbers were scattered around the corners. Although he didn't know what means Erin used to deal with these monsters, it seemed that she had some interesting weapons.
"You look so bad. Erin grabbed Carl and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The bruises on her face made Erin feel extremely worried, even though it was all over for the time being.
"Don't worry. Carl sighed. "It's just a side effect of the alchemy potion. ”
"Alchemy, what are you talking about?" said Erin, puzzled.
Carl sat on the floor, and there was nothing more comfortable to sit on in this damn place. "Why are you here? It's unbelievable. He still couldn't believe the fact that Erin would suddenly appear in this place, preferring to think that it was a dream, a dream triggered by his own thinking about Erin too much.
Erin put her hands behind her back and looked angry. "Is this what you should say after not seeing each other for a long time?"
"No, it's just ......" Carl was speechless for a moment, looking at the other party at a loss. "Forget it......"
"I know you're distressed. Erin walked over and sat down next to Carl. "I'll explain it to you, okay?"
Carl nodded, "I think I can do that, but I want to say it anyway." It's good to see you, Irene. ”
"Me too. ”
A conversation doesn't take much time, and Carl does need to rest for a while now, after the battle he had just experienced. While enduring the side effects of the alchemy potion, he was also glad that Erin was safe and sound in the maelstrom of war in the Celestial Realm. But Carl could also tell from her blood-stained khaki uniform that she had also been tested by blood and fire.
He had heard that war would change people, but in Erin, he couldn't see much change, and she still seemed to be the same as when she left him all those years ago—innocent and kind. But he felt that some changes would not be superficial, but internal. He certainly didn't want Erin to be a cold-blooded, ruthless person, and all of that was possible when she had been through the war. But Carl was glad he hadn't seen the negative things in her, at least for now. ”
If it was an accident that she and Freya came to the continent of Arad, then Erin's arrival here was premeditated. According to Erin, Marlene Kirschka, the chief court lady of the Imperial Court, is seeking help from the world below. Although she was suspicious of the world below, if the world below really existed, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for Ghent, who was in crisis.
"Mistress Kirchka sent me a secret message about finding a way to get to the world below, but it was a strange situation, and Callert was searching for spies who had infiltrated their interior. I don't know exactly how it got out, but I was unfortunate enough to be discovered by them along with Lenny. Erin said with a gloomy expression. "I wasn't sure if the world below existed, but when I was finally cornered, I decided to take a gamble, so I jumped off a cliff that connected to the sea of sky. ”
"I know you can breathe in that water, and you may have seen the majestic city in the sky. Karl said in a relaxed tone, trying to ease Erin's heavy heart.
"I didn't pay much attention, and when I woke up, I was on the beach. I'm not sure what happened, but I did come to the world below. But it was all foreign to me, and I was terrified, but I was discovered by a man who looked like a pirate leader. Erin went on to tell why she was here.
"Wait, Wait, did you inquire about the name of that place?" Carl seemed to have something in mind, and he immediately took out the letter that Kelly had given him, and checked the contents again.
Erin nodded, "West Coast." ”
"That's right. Karl said categorically. "Is the pirate leader who found you called Adrian?"
"How do you know?" said Erin, covering her mouth in surprise.
"You know what, Erin? Maybe your presence will help. Carl smiled at her, though it confused her. [.]
