Chapter 169: Utgaloch
As the dark vortex above the sky spread and grew, the sky became more and more gloomy.
Tianyan watched a little dark, even though it was noon, but it was like night.
A howling storm blew and staggered the ships that were parked on the shore. Waves washed backwards in waves—not from east to west, but ripples that spread from the island of Avalon in a circle.
"Captain! Think of a way! ”
Albert clutched his chestnut-like little round hat and shouted at the tall elf beside him: "Is Your Excellency Hellechin in danger?" ”
“…… I don't know. ”
The gray-haired elf known as the captain frowned: "This is too fast......"
"I think it's a trap! Let's disembark! ”
The old dwarven man made a rough, loud voice.
"In any case, send the armor and spear to Lord Hellechin first."
The human girl next to him looked over: "Otherwise, if he is attacked......"
"—I'll go on a trip, you guard the ship."
The tall lizardman warrior whispered, interrupting the others.
The others fell silent and looked at him convincingly.
"Over to you, Origan!"
The others shouted as if as long as the warrior was out of the seat, everything would be fine.
At this moment, the brownish-red-skinned lizardman warrior easily put on his heavy armor and raised his silver-white lance while frowning.
- He felt a strong sense of unease.
That feeling......
“…… Demon? ”
The giant priest in the red robe suddenly raised his head, looked out the window, and frowned: "Where did the demon come from?" ”
"What demon?"
The other female giant beside him, much shorter than him, was a little puzzled, "What are you talking about, Syrtel?" ”
"There's a Daredevil venting her 'jealousy'...... Maybe it's a conspiracy of the Fallen Heavens.
"—Also, remember to call me Utgaloch, Sigern. I am no longer the guardian of the kingdom. ”
The giant Utgaloch glanced down at the long-handled metal giant axe he was holding in his hand, and said calmly, "I no longer have the right to hold the [Wounded Branch]. ”
"Do you still have to take care of this?"
Sigurn asked with concern, "Or report to the High Heavens." ”
Unlike the giants' rough and terrifying appearance, the giantess Sigurne had a beautiful appearance and fair marble-like skin.
Both her and Utgaloch's hair is red, except that her hair is darker, or darker.
"Of course."
Utgaloch replied briefly, "It just so happens that I want to fight too." ”
He picked up his weapon, his clenched arm becoming bloodshot and crimson with muscles.
"O mighty Supreme Heaven!"
He shouted angrily, his crimson, scarred skin burning like red wine: "Bless your people!
"I will fight! I will win! I'm going to—
"-I'm going crazy!!"
Utgaloch's whole body was steaming in the firelight, and the red robe on his body seemed to be soaked in blood and turned into flames.
First slow walking, then fast walking. Then it turned into a wild run and turned into a comet.
The giant, which was more than ten meters tall, rushed out of the Supreme Hall with his bare feet, and the flames burning on his body easily steamed the blood rain, leaving a steaming scorching smoke in the rain curtain.
And on the other side.
The rain of blood brought by the night demon turned into a weapon that killed him.
The water turned to blood, the plants began to wither, and the animals fled in panic.
The air was rusty and ominous. The curse attaches to every raindrop that falls like a scarlet poison needle.
If you keep zooming in, you can see that inside each falling drop of blood, there are thin curved lines that bounce back and forth inside the blood droplet, and it is as black as ink. At the tip of the thin line is a skull-shaped snake's head.
Those giants who were drenched in blood felt their bodies begin to weaken.
The power in the body began to leak out uncontrollably, and the spirit began to become abnormal, and the body twitched unconsciously, as if a snake venom had been applied in the air, and thus a fever occurred.
- This is the "curse of the serpent's head".
Unlike the normal "Fever Curse", this curse can be pointed at precisely - the Daredevil sets it as "all creatures over three meters tall". To the non-accursed, it is nothing more than a sticky rain of blood; For the cursed race, it is a ferocious poison that can be contracted upon touching the skin.
Every drop of rain is a curse.
No matter how strong the giant's resistance to the curse is, it still can't withstand the pressure under the curse of this density, and they are entangled by the curse one by one.
Immediately afterward, they let out a series of screams—
When they were cursed, the original blood rain seemed to have truly turned into a poisonous needle!
Every drop of rain that falls can cut off a small piece of flesh. As if pierced by a dense steel needle falling from the sky, the giants let out a miserable cry.
That's even more vicious than the rain of steel needles!
Because when the blood rain penetrates the skin and muscles, it will turn into an acidic poison and cause stronger corrosion to the body. And the next drop of rain may even fall right on the spot, sending a new grind deep into the body!
In less than a minute, the giants who could not return to the inside of the building were reduced to white bones under the rain of blood.
Their flesh was corrupted by the rain of blood, spreading into scarlet rivers on the ground.
Evas, on the other hand, flew eastward on a Pegasus affected by the enchanting aura.
Unlike Avalon, the knightly nation of later generations, the "Island Avalon" of this era did not have a port. But that didn't stop Ivas from knowing that the location they were staying at now should be the western side of Avalon.
And the location of the glass island should be the east of Avalon!
Pegasi flew through the air at high speed, and the golden divine light also overflowed around them.
And the Daredevil followed.
Behind her, the rugged wings like the trunks of dead trees spread wide. Illusory feathers of shadow adorn it like leaves. Her body was almost completely ethereal, submerged in the sky that had turned into "night".
- The Daredevil didn't look like Ivus's retinue at all, but like someone chasing him after him!
At this time, Ivus finally arrived at the first large gathering point.
Ivas knew that giants were not normal social animals. They tend to be family units, each occupying a small area, and usually do not socialize with other giants and have little social needs. Some of the giants' families that live relatively close together can be called "gathering places" or "gathering points".
The giants would build castles and raise humans in their area - they called the humans who formed the villages and towns "free-range", and the free-range humans remained theirs.
With the endless vegetables provided by the Cauldron, the giants will not starve to death even if they eat a lot of food. But for them, meat is undoubtedly a luxury. Because of this, giants often name gathering spots after the parts of the meat...... Naturally, there will also be areas with duplicate names.
After all, although the Giant Kingdom is called a kingdom, it does not have a grassroots administrator.
The Kingdom of Giants implements the most classic flat state management - the whole country has only three thin layers. The royal family at the highest level, flowing with the blood of the Supreme Heaven, is the spokesperson of the Supreme Heaven in the material world. Below are the priests of the main text and the generals of the main army, followed by the commoners from all over the world. All civilians are soldiers, and no giants are good at fighting.
And the reason why the giants set up a gathering point is precisely because they have a hard need for sacrifice as devout followers of the Supreme Heaven. It was too far to travel to the royal city, so they needed a closer area for the sacrificial activities.
In this sense, the gathering point of the giants is a large group of scattered giants around the territory demarcated by the temple.
"Do it, Daredevil!"
Evas commanded, "Demolish the temple first to prevent any apostles from teleporting through the temple!" ”
"Yes, master."
The Daredevil replied succinctly, and then, like a black comet, swooped down towards the Temple!
