Volume 3 The Shadow of Uxhire Chapter 216 Back to Reality
"Boom—"
With a loud bang, a thundercloud flew out of the magic circle, and finally hit the shoulder of the Iron Giant, but because the angle was not perfectly controlled, it just grazed past.
But even so, Hercules' body was shaken a lot, and the place where it was hit showed blackened marks.
This made the emir overjoyed, and the plan was only theoretical, but the results now showed that it worked.
So, the emir, who was already out of breath, cheered up.
Perhaps realizing that it could no longer be taken lightly, Hercules became swift and began to retreat.
The emir hurriedly motioned for the others to surround him, and then began to prepare more magic arrays himself.
Then, after Hercules retreated enough distance, he waved his left arm and released an invisible force.
That power was like a knight's sword aura, rubbing against the air and producing a sharp sound of breaking wind, and finally fell to the side of the emir and the others.
The power of this attack was obviously greater, and even if the emir used the magic barrier, it was all shattered in an instant, and then it was shocked by the impact and flew several meters away.
Thankfully, the tall trees of the forest helped him withstand some of the damage, otherwise the blow would have knocked him out.
He quickly got up and used his magic to heal himself, and he knew that the others were no better, so he hurried closer to where they were.
Anne reacted quickly, and when she realized that the blow was extraordinary, she immediately dodged it with teleportation magic.
Therefore, only Lucius and Cosette are seriously injured, but as Cosette's territory, she naturally has a way to heal her injuries, so she only needs to help Lucius heal next.
But somehow, suddenly a series of strange laughter came from Hercules's body, soft, but dull, as if mocking them.
The emir didn't care so much about it, and hurriedly searched everywhere for Lucius's whereabouts, but his eyes were still attracted by the huge giant.
The other man raised his arm, as if to attack one of them, and the Emir used his magical perception to exclude Anne and Cosette, and there was only one answer.
"Oops."
The emir screamed that something was wrong and immediately used teleportation magic.
When he was still in the royal capital, he specially made a teleportation magic mark on the giant, and he wanted to enter the real cockpit later, but he didn't expect the giant to blow off his head.
Emile thought the mark was useless, but now he realized that he could still save his teammates.
In the next moment, Hercules disappeared from everyone's sight, and reappeared on the other side of the forest.
It was a sign that the Emir had made when the crowd had just entered the place.
Sure enough, when the Emir arrived, Lucius was lying on the ground, as if his legs had been affected by the impact, and Sensen's bones were exposed.
"Hehe, Emir, you saved my life again." Lucius smiled helplessly.
"Yes, you must repay my favor in the future." The emir said in a serious manner, and immediately helped him heal his injuries.
On the other side, Hercules' punch hit the ground, but when it moved away, it didn't find Lucius's body, and it was stunned.
When the emir saw its actions, he realized that it was more or less intelligent, but that wisdom was not enough to compete with humans.
Afterwards, several people who had recovered gathered again and approached the giant.
The Emir had wanted to persuade Lucius to rest on the sidelines, and then Cosette would take care of him, and as for Hercules, he would just leave it to the two who were good at teleporting magic.
But Lucius was a hundred reluctant, saying that he didn't want to stay with Cosette, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to repay the Emir for saving his life.
The emir could not resist him, so he had to agree.
By this time, Hercules had already understood that he had been tricked, and then when he saw the other party rushing again, it let out a strange laugh again, this time louder and creepy to hear.
"What the hell is laughter, it's worse than crying." Anne couldn't help but complain.
Perhaps in response to her words, Hercules raised his arms and slammed them down, and Anne quickly used teleportation magic to dodge it, and then walked behind it.
However, Hercules seemed to be unable to get along with Anne, and quickly turned around and kept releasing thunderclouds.
The meteor shower-like attack made Anne dizzy, and she had to use her own alien space, but even then she missed one.
The thundercloud landed above her head and was blocked by a tree, but fortunately Emir helped her move in time to avoid being affected by the explosion.
However, this fierce pursuit finally angered Anne, and she was determined to teleport Hercules into her own alien dimension.
In the next moment, Annie's magic was released, and Hercules was about to continue using the thundercloud, but his entire body was sucked into the magic array.
Looking at the forest as calm had returned, Cosette breathed a sigh of relief, only the Emir remained worried.
Sure enough, the change soon happened, and Anne was about to run over to meet the crowd, but before she could do it, a huge hand tore open the space beside her, and then drilled out a behemoth.
There was no doubt that Anne's alien space could not withstand Hercules' destruction, and after a while, it crawled out.
And this change happened in an instant, Anne was defenseless at all, and was directly pinched by Hercules's hand.
"Damn, let me go."
Anne struggled, both of her arms dislocated from the pinch, and she couldn't use teleportation magic at all.
On the other hand, Emir thought that Anne would be able to escape, so he didn't pay much attention until ten seconds later, when he realized that something was wrong.
“…… No, no, don't. The emir muttered in a low voice, his heart rising to his throat.
The scene of the encounter with Anne and the adventures that followed flashed through my mind.
Hercules clenched his palms and let out a rueful laugh, and the emir, who had no feeling for it, fell into fear.
However, in that moment of despair, the giant's laughter suddenly stopped, and the entire space suddenly took on a deathly silence.
“…… What's the situation? ”
Not only the Emile, but also Cosette and Lucius on the side were puzzled, and saw that the giant's movements also stopped.
The emir couldn't wait any longer, and threw the piece of paper that teleported the magic into the air, and then threw the piece of paper after teleporting, thus forming a relay of teleportation magic, and finally successfully reached the huge palm, and strangely, the giant was still motionless.
At this point, the pain was so intense that Anne passed out, and Emir couldn't do anything about it, and used teleportation magic to carry her out again.
And just as he was about to leave his palm, the giant finally showed signs of movement, but it shook a few times before waving its arm.
Now that Annie has been saved, Emir doesn't have to be afraid of the other party's attack, but Hercules's actions just now really filled his mind with question marks.
After putting Anne in a safe place, the remaining three continued their operations.
This time, the Emir was really furious, and when Hercules unleashed his invisible power again, he used his teleportation magic.
Then teleport the attack back step by step, as you did before.
Perhaps it was more serious, this time the angle was accurate, and finally hit Hercules's chest, and the seemingly indestructible iron wall actually sank directly.
Hercules hurriedly stepped back, and at the same time let out a wail like an animal's injury, but it was rather low.
Seeing that it had been tricked and wanted to retreat, the emir naturally would not let it go.
Hercules didn't understand why he had been hit, so when the Emir repeated his old trick, he allowed the thunderclouds to fly into the teleportation magic circle.
In the end, there was no doubt that it was hit again, this time the left arm, which was able to release invisible power, broke off in an instant and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, it tried to use the power it had used when it first woke up to retrieve its arm, but Cosette wouldn't give it a chance and teleported its arm out of the space.
In this way, Hercules is left with only the right arm that can release the thundercloud.
"Hmph, I didn't expect it to be so simple." The emir snorted coldly and continued to attack it.
However, no one expected that this giant still had a trick to use.
It swung its right arm and smashed its fist into its sunken chest, which was soon completely destroyed, revealing a rather large hole and a pitch black inside.
"It's ......"
The emir always felt that the hole was familiar, but he just couldn't remember it.
At this time, Lucius on the side spoke.
"It can't be a muzzle, right?"
“…… What? Emir's eyes widened, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like it.
But before everyone could figure out what it was, the hole actually protruded from the body, and it looked like a cannon.
"Something is wrong, quick, disperse."
The Emir shouted suddenly, teleporting Anne away while enveloping the others with a magical barrier to prevent them from being harmed if they didn't escape in time.
Immediately after, a dazzling white light emanated from the huge cannon muzzle, as dazzling as the midday sun, and in the next moment, a ball of light shot out.
Lucius and Anne were slow to react, but thanks to the emir's unfolding of the magic barrier, they were able to avoid being killed on the spot.
Dozens of magical barriers bought the three of them a second, but it was precisely because of this second that they picked up a life.
"Are you alright?" The emir hurriedly asked.
"......" Lucius' head was stunned, and it took a while to wake up, "No, it's fine. ”
This time, Cosette recovered quickly, staring solemnly at the giant in the distance.
The next moment, Hercules began to shoot balls of light again.
Emir was unhurried, and with his previous experience of successfully teleporting thunderclouds and invisible forces, he thought that if he repeated his old tricks this time, he would be able to completely destroy them.
So, the moment the ball of light was launched, a large number of magic arrays were ready.
One of the magic circles successfully caught the ball of light, and then teleported to the other, and in this way kept getting closer to the muzzle of Hercules' cannon.
Unfortunately, Emir also seemed to be shocked by the first glowing orb, and he even forgot that Hercules could attack non-stop.
As a result, before the glowing ball could be teleported back, the next glowing ball fell on top of the three people's heads.
"Damn."
In desperation, the emir had no choice but to teleport everyone to another place, but in this way, the trajectory of the teleported ball of light was uncontrollable.
In the end, the decisive ball of light flew away from Hercules' right shoulder and even landed on the edge of the space, but Cosette was hurt a lot.
"What's going on?" The emir hurriedly supported her.
And seeing her injured, Lucius, who had always only known to quarrel with her, was also concerned.
“…… Truth be told, it's already a drain on my energy to put this guy on, maybe because it has more magic than all my people combined, not to mention that it's capable of so many attacks. ”
Hearing this, Emile finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and he quickly treated Cosette, and then began to think of ways to defeat Hercules faster.
In the process, they could only blindly dodge Hercules' attacks, and every time the ball of light fell to the ground, Cosette's expression looked extremely painful, her face was pale, and blood flowed from her mouth.
Seeing that she was getting weaker and weaker, the emir had not yet come up with a more effective solution, so he had to give up.
"Cosette, get us all out of this space."
"But......" Cosette was about to persuade, but couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.
"Don't worry about that, I'll leave it to Lucius and me."
"Is this really possible?" Cosette said worriedly, but after thinking about it, she compromised, "Okay, I see. ”
Although she was a little reluctant, after all, she couldn't let Hercules go outside and hurt those people, but she couldn't think of a better way to deal with it right now, so she had to go back to the real world first.
"I know your concerns, can you help us put them on the grassland outside the royal capital?" As he spoke, the Emir unleashed an even more powerful healing spell.
"Well, no problem."
Immediately afterward, Cosette closed her eyes, and everything around her seemed to fade.
After a while, they were back in the real world, and Hercules couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at the scene in front of him.
