Chapter 191: Fighting the Skinless Swarm!
Darkness spreads like a reptile.
The cursed rain of blood descended again, roaring in the dark night of no fingers, covering Avalon once more.
With Oligen leading the way, Ehuas soon arrived at the meeting point of the mission's needs.
While many giants have been dissolved by the rain of blood summoned by the Night Demon, not all of them have been exterminated as a result.
[Giant Slayer: Kill all giants at the 'Chest', 'Tenderloin', and 'Ribs' gathering points (Points: 500)]
- A mission worth 500 points, which clearly requires that Aihuas must kill all the giants in these three gathering points, and leave no one behind!
What if there were giants who were still young enough to avoid the Night Demon's curse of blood rain? If there is a giant who is too timid to leave the building; Or maybe you're just falling asleep and not knowing what's going on outside.
And now Khlechin, who is a "wild hunt", has signed a contract. He could not assault or enter any room with lights on and doors closed, nor could he deliberately attack sick people, pregnant women, and people with disabilities.
In order to ensure that all the giants are killed, Ivus can only put the Daredevil and Oligen down and let them enter each building to complete the extermination mission!
It's not a complicated thing.
Two sixth-level warriors, and one elite fifth-level warrior who can defeat the sixth-level Utgaloch. Not to mention, the King of the Wild Hunt, Khlechin's abilities are all aura effects, and they are equally effective against Origen and Daredevil.
They went to defeat these gathering points, where at most a few fifth-level giants were stationed, and there was really nothing to describe in particular.
After all, the life pattern of giants determines the sparse population of giants. The three gathering points add up to a few hundred people, which is not even as large as the three residential buildings.
And this time, there was no Utgaloch to get in the way.
And when Ivas arrived at the third gathering point, he knew it...... Why did the Lord of Scales give a mission that specifically called for these three gathering points?
What "chest", "loin" and "ribs" have in common is that they are all close to the "heart".
The location of the "heart" is the glass island that Ivas is very familiar with, which is now the royal city of Avalon Island!
By the time Ivus arrived at the three gathering points, he was already in the vicinity of the Giant King's City. And as he arrived, darkness, clouds, and blood rained down into the interior of the royal city.
Huge numbers of giants died, and the voices of pain and wailing were incessant - the giants could no longer take this catastrophe lightly.
And the task of delaying the time to destroy the three gathering points is actually buying time for the giants!
The giants were furious when they realized that three of the nearby royal city had been slaughtered. Originally, the giants would never have been united by invaders...... Because although the giants are all soldiers, they do not have the obligation to obey the draft, and they do not have the obedience to obey the command of the army. It's really hard to dispatch and difficult to control.
But Ivus's mission completely angered the giants and made them take Ivus seriously.
When Ivus reached the third gathering point, a crimson curtain of light suddenly condensed over the royal city, blocking out the blood rain that contained the curse.
In principle, this is not that difficult.
A fourth-level spellcaster can protect a city in this way with sufficient materials and after a period of preparation. After all, the curse in the rain is inert - it's not a rain of blood mixed with poison or acid to kill everyone, so it's easy to get caught in the ordinary barriers.
Rather, it's such a simple way to circumvent it...... But it wasn't until Ivus was killed at the bottom of the royal city that the giant was finally used.
The main reason is that giants generally have no knowledge or education, and most giants do not know the night demon at all, nor do they understand the dangers of this blood rain. But at the same time, it can also show that the giants have no sense of crisis management at all-
After all, they are guaranteed to be at the third energy level when they are adults, and they can easily lift tons of heavy objects with one hand, and each gathering point has a plural fourth energy level, and a slightly larger gathering point will have several fifth energy levels.
In this day and age, giants are basically invincible.
When will it be their turn to plan for the crisis?
And now, they're finally paying the price.
Although Ivus did not know how many giants the Daredevil's blood rained into the royal city and killed...... But the increasingly furious, clearer cries could be easily heard from miles away, and Evas knew their anger at him.
There is no doubt that the hatred that Ivas attracted from the giants has greatly outstripped that of the historical Sir Helechin.
Immediately after, a large, lychee-like red eyeball with a sharp thorny shell was suspended in the black-red night sky.
It slowly opened its eyes, revealing the turquoise vertical pupils inside.
Hitomi looked around for a moment, and found Ivus's trace.
A cone-shaped curtain of light was projected from it—like a searchlight, locking onto the trail of Ivas and his group.
It's just a group of people, that is, the lizardman warrior Oligen sitting behind him, and the night demon in the form of a raven.
Immediately afterward, Ivas felt a strong sense of crisis.
"Roaring ————!"
A frenzied, hysterical rant came from afar.
From the royal city, a group of scarlet giants rushed out.
Each one was at least ten meters tall, and there was even a fifteen-meter-tall giant, twice as tall as the others.
Unlike the other giants, these giants were completely unclothed - not only were they naked, but they were stripped of their skin and muscles!
"—it's the Skinless One!"
Oligen whispered.
The sense of crisis that makes the scalp tingle is accompanied by a refreshing sense of excitement. His heart couldn't stop beating wildly, and he attached great importance to the battle in front of him...... I even felt an incomparably clear premonition of death from it.
Each of these giants' elite troops is the elite of the fifth-level transcendentals. Not only is the skin rough and the flesh thick, but also fearless and painful, with an almost endless anger.
Even a group of papal guards working together would have a hard time killing a skinless one.
They were stripped of their skin all over their bodies - and not only that, but they were subjected to "pre-war baptism".
The red-hot nails, like the metal spears used by humans, pierced their bodies with a sizzling sound, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air.
And there was white smoke visible to the naked eye—I don't know if it was the heat of the veins, or the heat of the red-hot steel nails.
If you are an ordinary human warrior, I am afraid that all you can do with all your strength is just add one more nail.
These nails are the most cherished things for the skinless—
For them, it's an honor to be hurt. Because the High Heavens have blessed them with incomparable bodies, they can only be injured if they are used to the limit. It's like a notebook full of writing, a pair of fist gloves that have been worn out to the point of being unusable.
So every time they are injured, they drive a nail into the wound.
And before the most solemn battle, they will take out the nails of their bodies, burn them, and then nail them into their bodies again.
The strength of the skinless comes from the pain, and the pain of being skinned will eventually adapt and become numb. And this fresh pain will awaken their previous memories!
They roared wildly!
"Uh-oh-a
"Woo woo woo so painful aaa
"Gollum woo hahahahahaha
A meaningless, yet terrifying roar could be heard in the distance.
They drooled saliva and tears, and their faces were so painful that they were hideously distorted. Their skinless faces looked terrifying like those of evil spirits, and the crimson rage that engulfed them made these suffering madmen look extremely dangerous.
It was the "anger" that ordinary "warriors" could only be filled with when their bodies were completely warmed up and fought on the battlefield for a long time.
Relying on their rage, the warriors were able to use a variety of superior martial arts and explode into ways that would otherwise be impossible for their bodies. This is a resource similar to mana, but not the same...... It is low at the beginning and gradually increases as the intensity of the battle increases.
Previously, after Oligen was seriously injured, he relied on "Anger" to use outstanding martial arts and kill Utgaloch!
The more seriously wounded a soldier is, the more dangerous it is, that's what it's about.
- Yet, these skinless beings are overflowing with blood.
These are overflowing anger—
The characteristic of the skinless is that they have unlimited "rage" resources!
Although Eivus's quest only requires him to kill a skinless one......
But there were ten of these skinless people in front of him!
The combat power equivalent to twenty papal guards, screaming with tears in their eyes, letting out hysterical roars and roars, crashed towards Ivus with a posture that shook the heavens and the earth!
One of the skinless men convulsed, and in anger he reached out to the ground and lifted the mountain—
He was only ten meters high, but he lifted a huge rock more than 100 meters high and threw it towards Aihuas!
- And Ivas is not retreating, but advancing!
He suddenly turned into nothingness, stepped on the ice, and pierced through the boulder!
He appeared beside the giant's neck, wielding a crimson greatsword.
Eight knives in one second!
The swords were all full force, and each sword slashed out a crimson sword qi as sharp as the moon!
The head of the stone-throwing giant was directly decapitated by Aihuas!
- Death when you meet!
