The audience was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Directly in front of you, a towering black shadow stood silently under the navy blue night, as if looking down on everyone.

A cold north wind blew through the border, and the whole forest swayed with it. From Alicia's position, the large branches and leaves of the trees fluttering in the wind seemed to have turned into dwarf grass compared to the body of the black shadow.

The shadow seemed to be coming from the edge of the forest, as could be inferred from the loud earth-shattering sound that had just come from far and near. However, from the first time I heard the loud noise, there were only a few "booms" before and after, and it seemed that the black shadow had only walked a few steps to the position where it was standing now, which showed the width of its steps.

No matter what this huge black shadow in front of him was, it was far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Because of this, the attackers who had originally focused on Alicia and his party now raised their heads to look at the behemoth in front of them with the same frightened expression, and did not dare to make any sound.

The air seemed to be frozen in ice, and I don't know when it started, and even the nightingale's cries and insect chirpings were no longer audible. Everyone felt a chill rising from their backs reaching their hearts and lungs, causing them to tremble.

"Light, illumination!"

Melufa's voice was unusually bright in the silence of the night.

As she pronounced the name of the spell, a sphere of brilliant white light appeared out of thin air and soared upward, guided by Meleva, towards the top of the great black shadow.

The brightness of the white ball of light was enough to illuminate the radius of ten meters around it, and as it got closer and closer to the black shadow, everyone finally saw the true face of this thing.

As Zazacha said, this is an out-and-out stone giant!

Rough and weighty rectangular rocks make up every muscle on its body, and where it might be called a face, there are two black hollows that appear to be its eyes. The giant was looking down at everyone with those two black holes, making people's hairs stand on end.

The white ball of light summoned by Melus now hovered in front of the Golem, rising and falling vertically, its light shining on the giant, casting a huge humanoid shadow on the ground behind him.

"It's ...... What?!" said the bald guy shudderingly. Originally, he was expecting to get Arato's support halfway through the fight, but he didn't expect such a huge monster to suddenly appear.

In the distance, Arato's clairvoyant magic watched the crowd around the campfire, then let out a slightly cruel sneer, and then put his hands on his chest and chanted:

“...... Giant, awakened in response to the ancient bells, before the eyes that permeate all things are opened, I will sacrifice your blood, and use his soul as a sign of your walk in the world, please make a temporary pact with me!"

The invisible Mana stream shot towards the bodies of more than a dozen attackers, and all of them suddenly felt a tightness in their chests and their faces looked painful.

"What, what's wrong?!"

The bald man covered his chest with his hands, and countless cold sweats broke out on his forehead. And Daron, who was playing against him, noticed that his behavior suddenly became strange, and he couldn't help frowning and becoming vigilant.

"Ahhh But nothing happened to Alicia and the party, and they all looked strangely and uncomfortably at the people whose faces were gradually becoming distorted.

Some of the attackers rolled on the ground clutching their chests because of the pain, and at the same time their pupils constricted and foaming at the mouth, as if they were about to die.

"Cheer up! Damn, what the hell is going on?!" The bald guy looked at Alicia and the party, and found that they didn't have anything to do, and it seemed that only the people on his side felt the pain, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

He glanced at his men and saw that they were all clutching their chests, as if the pain they were all feeling came from their chests.

Suddenly, the bald man's eyes widened as if he had thought of something, and he rudely and frantically tore the fabric under his collar and looked towards his chest......

There, a clay-like parasite is clinging to the skin and is rapidly swelling uncomfortably.

The bald guy tried to pull it off his body with all his might, but the object stretched out countless tentacles, sneaked into the blood vessels, and firmly rooted under the skin.

"What is this?!

Merufa's expression of horror when she saw the thing attached to her skin covered her mouth. Alicia, who was protected by Zazacha, gasped.

The struggling bald man suddenly heard a scream behind him, followed by the sound of an object exploding and something cracking. He looked back and saw a bloody corpse appear on the ground. The man was one of his companions, and his face was now contorted and stiffened, and a large hole had been added to his chest, in which was half of his heart that had been blown up.

Several more screams rang out, explosions erupted from the other companions, and one by one they turned into corpses with holes in their chests.

The bald guy deeply felt that death was so close to him, and his pupils swayed, and at this time, he suddenly remembered what happened before he set off.

As Tirting was just leaving, Arato's approach came to the bald man and said to him:

"You are too weak, you don't even have the qualifications to be my follower, in this case, Lao Tzu will be kind to each of you to give a protective magic, how about it?"

Hearing him say this, the bald guy of course gladly accepted it, so everyone asked Aratoto to put his hand on his chest and do the so-called "protection".

Afterwards, the corners of Arato's mouth curled and he sneered:

"In this way, you will be able to play some 'role' at critical moments. ”

Now that I think about it, it wasn't a protective spell at all, it was a time bomb!

"Damn, why?!" the bald man put down his weapon and fell to his knees on the ground, holding his head in both hands and trembling with fear.

"Hey, you guys, help me, help me!" the bald man no longer cared about any face, put his hands and feet on the ground, and crawled towards Alicia, from which he looked at a dying man.

In order to prevent the bald guy from grabbing Alicia's feet, Zazacha escorted her backwards, and Alicia looked at such a bald guy and seemed to be unbearable, and asked Kylloa for help with her eyes.

However, Kylloa just closed his eyes and shook his head, it seemed that for this man, death had opened its hands to greet him, and no one could stop it.

Countless screams and explosions rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the bald man's men all fell to the ground, each of them having a large hole in their chests, and a large amount of blood spurted out of it, even splashing onto the trees next to them.

The bald guy knelt there alone, looking at the corpses of his companions, so frightened that he could no longer control his breathing, panting rapidly, while his whole body trembled.

"Ahh

He crawled towards Alicia in a frenzy, Zazacha turned around and picked up Alicia and jumped to the side, and the bald guy who had lost his goal hugged a tree there instead, and tears poured out of his eyes.

"It's all that guy who harmed it, it's all that ......"

A slightly dull popping sound sounded, and the bald man's words came to an abrupt end, and then, his pupils lost focus, and his stout body fell backwards, blood staining the trunk of the tree he had held, and some pieces of flesh belonging to his heart stuck to the surface of the trunk.

A disgusting sensation rolled up from her stomach, and Alicia hurriedly covered her mouth. Valrhona frowned, and with better eyesight, she saw what seemed to be being pulled out of the corpses on the ground.

They were spirit-like substances, difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but they seemed to cause distortions of light as they moved through the air, so they were noticed by Valrhona. And these spirits all flew towards the giants under the sky, as if human souls had been sucked out by it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an ominous premonition. Valrhona translated her uneasiness into words, warning the others. The others glanced in her direction and followed hers toward Golem.

All the spirits were absorbed into the giant's body, but after a while, as if nothing had happened, the giant remained still.

Despite this, everyone did not dare to relax, the warriors held their weapons, the mages were ready to chant magic, and Kyeloa could not chant for the time being, so he could only stand at the back of the line and put on a serious look.

After a moment of silence, two red lights suddenly appeared in the giant's hollow eyes, as if those eyes had finally had pupils. Immediately after, the giant's whole body trembled.

A large amount of dust and rubble rolled down from the massive body as it shook as the golem raised his head, a narrow opening below his face, and then the stones above and below the opening suddenly parted like a large mouth that opened up to the sky.

"Woohoo whoop!!"

A majestic and majestic roar resounded through the sky, and the sleeping giant finally woke up after receiving the sacrificial soul.

"Hehehe, hahahaha!" Arato, who was standing in the distance, let out a loud laugh, and under the giant's earth-shattering roar, he didn't have to worry about his laughter being heard by Alicia and the others.

"These miscellaneous fish are really useful, not only can they distract you so that you don't feel my 'Creation Technique', but they can also be used as living sacrifices, it's so convenient, hahahaha!"

And Alicia and her party have not discovered Arato's existence so far, after all, there is such an eye-catching guy in front of them, they have no intention of thinking about anything else.

"How do you fight this monster?!Kyle, do you know?" asked Daron with both hands and the blood-red greatsword in his hand, and asked Kylloa, who was protected by him.

"Jiechi stubborn pond is too lying, surrounded by a falling face (this is a boulder Titan, there is no weakness). Although Kylloa wanted to bite the pronunciation of each word clearly, the effect of the tongue powder could not subside in an hour and a half, so he was also unable to do it.

"What is he talking about?"

Darlon, who was not quite aware of the situation, looked at Merus suspiciously, who hurriedly explained:

He was sprinkled with stammering powder, and for the time being he could only speak like this. ”

Daron smiled bitterly, glanced sympathetically at Kylloa and said:

"Originally, if it depended on you, this kind of guy could solve it at once. No way, this time you can rest in the back. ”

After saying that, Daron actually rushed out with a big sword in his hand.

"Come back, stupid, don't go it alone!" Valrhona couldn't help but shout.

"It's not a way to stay there, let's think about how to deal with this guy while fighting!" Daron ran without looking back, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run to the feet of the stone giant.

He casually raised his eyes and found that the giant's jaw was like a five-story building to him at this time, and he couldn't help but exhale, and at the same time immediately retracted his breath, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he concentrated his qi on the sword and swung it vigorously at the giant's ankle.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and Daron felt his great sword hit a strong wall, and was bounced back with the same force.

"It's so hard!"

The giant's scarlet eyes looked at his feet, and when he spotted Talon's figure, he immediately lifted his feet, and Daron felt that he was standing in a great shadow.

"Get out of the way!" Zazacha's roar rang out, and he himself was already running in this direction.

"I know without you telling you!" shouted Daron, his eyes fixed on the huge soles of his feet, and then he rolled nimbly to the side, narrowly avoiding the giant's stampede.

"Woohoo whoa!!"

The deafening sound rang out again, and the giant stretched out his palm as if it were about to swatt a fly, and swung it at where Daron stood.

"It's noisy!" Zazacha had already run to the giant's side, jumped up, and threw a fist at the giant's waist.

What was surprising was that the fist hit the surface of the rock, and there was a sound of air explosion, and then a strong qi passed through the body of the stone giant and pierced through the waist on the other side. As if shaken back by this mighty force, the giant's feet shifted backwards on the ground for a small distance.

"Oh my God, are you a bear?" said Darron, in amazement.

"Don't be stunned, why don't you use your strongest move?" Zazacha threw a fierce look at Daron in the air.

"I've said it all, I know it without you saying it!" Although Dalong complained like this, he had already taken dozens of steps back and began to enter a meditative state, which was a necessary posture before he launched the Mystery "Broken Heart and Iron Slash".

In order to attract the Golem's attention, Valrhona and Zazacha guide him to a position with his back to Daron, and whenever the two are in danger, Merus will use ice magic to temporarily block the giant's movements, helping them escape to safety.

Alicia smiled as she looked at the perfectly coordinated crowd, but at the same time lowered her head with a sad face, because she felt that she was of no use in this battle.

......

"Mystery, slash the iron with a broken heart!"

With Dalong's roar, a blood-colored sword light slashed in the direction of the stone giant with a devastating momentum, and the crescent-shaped sword qi dragged a long sword mark on the ground.

Soon, the sword qi slammed into the stone man's back, causing it to roar to the sky, but the light faded, and the stone giant's back was not damaged except for a sword mark.

"Damn, it's ineffective!"

Daron, who thought that this blow would be able to break him up, took a sip, clenched the blood-colored sword in his hand, and had nothing to do.

The stone giant, as if enraged by the blow, had an even more scarlet glow in his eyes, turned his head to look at Darron, and twisted his body. He took a step and actually ran.

It took no less than two steps to get close to Talon as it was to run on the ground with its huge body, and Daron watched the giant's body crash towards him, and hurriedly rolled to the side to dodge.

A strong gust of wind blew across the side of Talon's face, and the giant's body dragged an exaggerated dent in the ground, knocking down all the trees in its path.

Mei Lufa gasped and shivered on the spot. At this moment, a hand slapped her shoulder from behind, startling her.

The little pink-haired head turned around cautiously, revealing Kyleloa's slightly serious face.

"Touch each other!"

"Huh?"

"Touch each other!"

"Sage-sama, it doesn't seem good at this time......" Meluva murmured, her face suddenly flushed, and she stood there twisting her body with her hands clasped together, as if she had misunderstood something.

Kyeloa shook her head and pointed to the enchanted ice knife in her hand, and Meleva suddenly realized that she was embarrassed to tap her head.

"Oh, I really am!" said that, the little thing ran in the direction of Talon with a red face.

Golem seemed to be temporarily stuck on the ground due to his weight and speed, and Daron moved backwards to keep himself away from it, when he heard Meluva's screams from behind him.

"Daron, Brother Daron!"

"Oh, little one, why are you here?"

Hearing Daron shout like this, Merus didn't care about being angry, panting and putting her hand on his weapon, then adjusted a little and began to chant:

"The wind that blows the snow, the breath of ice, clings to the surface of what I have designated, and bestows it on Wendini!"

After the chanting ended, a small light blue circle appeared on the blade, and the entire blade slowly began to freeze. The ice gradually enveloped the red greatsword, just like the previous "remnant snow", and turned into a weapon with ice attribute magic.

"It's an enchantment, Brother Daron, please use your move again!"

Hearing Meluva say this, Daron nodded earnestly, and then looked at Zazacha and Valrhona.

The two of them also heard Meluvia's words because they were nearby, and immediately began to act tacitly. Once again, they ran to the other side to help Daron get Golem's attention. Daron, on the other hand, stood there again and closed his eyes.

"Woo oh !!!"

The Golem's roar grew more and more manic, and Alicia felt like her ears were about to explode, so she couldn't help but cover it with her hands. At this moment, the silver long sword in his hand suddenly emitted a brilliant white light. Alicia picked up the holy sword in surprise and looked at it, as if something was about to come out of her body......

Every time Zazacha's iron fist hit the stone giant's body, it could make its huge body tremble slightly, worthy of a man who had dominated the fighting arena for many years, and after his strength was completely liberated, he could cause damage that was unbearable for ordinary people with his bare hands. Valrhona's attack could not hurt the giant in the slightest, it could only be used as a distraction to contain it.

Just after the two of them had been delaying for a while, Daron was ready to complete his mystery, and he suddenly opened his closed eyes, and he was instantly full of light.

"Take it!"

Regardless of the name of this move, the sword qi that flew out this time actually carried a strong ice attribute aura, and the ground that crossed was instantly frozen, leaving an ice and snow path on the way.

The giant may have felt the approaching sword aura behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was too late, and reflexively reached out to block it.

The sword aura with the power of ice was sharp enough to pierce through metal, let alone stone. A huge sword light passed through the giant's palm, slashed at its body, and then, from behind it, straight through.

The sword qi that did not slow down was attacking Zazha Cha head-on, and the young man of the Yi tribe calmly and unusually bent down and dodged, but he was still scraped by the sword qi to the corner of his waist, and ice flowers formed there in an instant.

The sword qi kept running backwards, and the trees it passed by turned into white ice crystals in an instant, and the branches and leaves that had been flying in the wind were still there at the moment.

All eyes were on the giant stone man, and a moment later, with a loud rattle, the stones that made up its body began to crumble and crumble apart piece by piece.

"Finally ......"

Dalong breathed a long sigh of relief and put away the blood sword "Lone Wolf". In his opinion, it seemed that the victory was decided.

Everyone smiled, although this is a powerful enemy, but it seems that there is nothing to fear under the concerted efforts of everyone, and through this cooperation, everyone has deepened the bond between each other, and the harvest is not small. I don't know who summoned the Golem, but that's what they're going to investigate, so let them rest for a while and enjoy the joy of victory, and no one will blame them.

...... However, this joy did not last long.

Everyone's smiles remained for a short time, and when they saw what was happening in front of them, the smiles on everyone's faces froze.

The stones, which had been disintegrating, suddenly began to shake violently, and then they were put back together piece by piece, and Daron suddenly felt extremely uneasy.

"No, isn't it ......?"

His premonition was fulfilled, and the stones recombined into the shape of a giant, and when the stones formed the giant's face, its eyes glowed red again.

"What should this be...... What to do......"

Mei Lufa collapsed to the ground in fright, the blow just now should be the strongest move they could use now, if this could not defeat the stone giant in front of them, then there was really nothing to do.

Alicia felt the same despair as her companion in the distance, gritting her teeth and clenching the holy sword in her hand, as it continued to glow white in response to her master......
