Chapter 168 Residual Will
The forest, which should have been dim and decayed, was filled with orange-red light from dusk. Their strong parts were like fire burning, but inevitably brought a sense of glory that was about to end and irreversible.
Derick Berg held a "Darkless Cross" condensed by pure light and walked slowly in front of him. Behind the left is the "Demon Hunter" Colin Iliad, who was holding two straight swords in his hand and gray-haired "Demon Hunter" and behind the right is Heinmu, who was carrying the "Thor's Roar" giant hammer. This two-meter-long "half-giant" is ready to exchange his seal with Derick at any time.
The light emitted by the "Darkless Cross" became more and more drowsy here, just like the sun had set to the horizon, leaving only a golden residual light.
Of course, no one in Baiyin City has seen a similar scene. They can only imagine it by the descriptions of ancient documents. Similarly, today is the first time they have seen what dusk is.
Wow!
As the exploration team deepened, the wind began to sound in the quiet forest that was almost solidified, just like countless creatures crying deep in the depths.
However, Derrick and others did not feel the wind blowing on them at all.
Wow!
The wind became more and more intense and more shaking his heart. Derrick suddenly felt a cold feeling coming from the back of his neck, which made his hair stand tall and his body and mind feel chilled.
Normally, at this time, human instinct is to shrink his neck, raise his arms, block back, and half-turn his body to observe the situation and let the attack be ready. However, Derrick did not do this, because in dangerous environments, reckless turn of his head often encounters extremely terrible things, and there are chief and teammates behind him, and he fully believes that they can respond in time and hand over his life to their hands.
With a whoosh, the silver-white blade wrapped in tiny electric snake flew over from the side of Derik's neck, and evaporated into the light of dusk with a blurry and twisted figure.
At the same time, the "Darkless Cross" was stimulated by some unknown reason, and suddenly got rid of the drowsy state, making the emitted light bright and pure again.
The surrounding area suddenly came to dawn, and black shadows that could not describe their shapes were highlighted one after another in the dawn light and melted quickly.
When all this calmed down, Derrick asked in confusion while staring at the front:
"What are these? Not like resentful souls, shadows and evil spirits..."
"Demon Hunter" Colin looked around and spoke slowly:
"Some kind of residual aura...they seem to be combined with the power of dusk and produce some changes."
I've never seen such a monster...Derick held the "Darkless Cross" hand tightly and moved another finger that had not been stabbed to the thorn.
Relying on the targeted ability of the "Darkless Cross", the exploration team moved forward smoothly. Not long after, they arrived at the depths of the decayed forest, and could vaguely see the cliffs and orange clouds in the distance through the trees.
The damage here is not serious. The branches and leaves are involved in mid-air, blocking the solidified dusk and making the environment dark.
After carefully passing by here, Derrick's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw two standing, gray and mottled stone tablets.
Before he could observe carefully, the dusk light shining through the gaps in the branches and leaves occurred strange refractions at the same time, intertwined together, condensing a huge figure nearly ten meters high.
This figure is very vague and contains an eternal meaning, just like a reflection cast from the age of mythology.
Its skin is gray-blue, wearing silver-gray armor dyed with blood-like patches, and a ball of light on its face that looks like setting sun, which seems to be the manifestation of its eyes. Its existence is only itself, which makes the surrounding trees and the void bend, making everything begin to decline in self-control.
There was no reason to witness this scene, and a thought emerged in everyone present:
"Giant King, the ancient god Olmeer!"
The skins of Joshua, Heinmu, Antilna and other members of the exploration team have successively grown particles, revealing gray and blue bit by bit. There are flesh and blood squirming at the center of their eyebrows, as if some monster is about to emerge.
They also entered a state of nearly out of control.
They had not even seen the form of mythical creatures. As long as they approached the figure, they showed signs of losing control in no particular order, becoming more and more serious.
Derrick Berg was relatively fine, because the pure light of the "Darkless Cross" wrapped him, bringing a warm feeling, allowing him to temporarily resist the erosion of decay.
At this time, Colin Iliad had already bent down and carried two straight swords with ointment, and rushed towards the terrible figure at the high speed of the hurricane.
However, this "Demon Hunter" did not charge in a straight line. His footwork was strange, causing his body to sway left and right, approaching the enemy in a wavy state.
The huge figure standing in the dusk looked at all with sunset eyes, without any emotional fluctuations, like a carved stone statue.
Suddenly, the light on its face flashed.
It immediately bent down and hit the ground with both fists.
Bang!
The earth shook violently, cracking a gap, making Derrick and others unable to control their body balance anymore, and they staggered and were about to fall.
But the "Demon Hunter" Colin jumped first, jumped to a height of more than ten meters, and slashed the two swords in his hand in a condescending manner.
At this time, the figure that seemed to come from myths and legends pulled out an illusory giant sword formed by dusk from the cracks of the earth, and suddenly swung it forward.
The orange-red storm of light suddenly took shape, sweeping towards Derrick and others who were sent back by the "Demon Hunter" Colin.
Wherever this large area of light passes, the trees wither and the soil becomes sand, and everything irreversibly enters the channel of decline.
Bang!
The storm brewing at dusk was blocked by invisible walls, causing the entire forest to shake.
At some point, the "Shepherd" elder Lovia appeared on the side of Derik, and a tall and illusory figure covering silver armor appeared in front of him.
The figure with dark red eyes like blood kneeled on one knee, inserted an illusory giant sword into the ground, creating an extremely strong invisible wall.
when!
At this time, the two straight swords of the "Demon Hunter" Colin also slashed on the surface of the huge figure nearly ten meters high with the aura of ancient gods, inspiring countless lightnings that were free to show off.
As the silver-white ran around, the terrible figure was not damaged at all, but the silver-gray armor covered with blood-like patches became a little dimmed.
Colin took advantage of the rebound force to rise up again, flipped over in the air, and launched another attack.
In the realm of decline, he dared not release the mythical biological form, because it is likely that it will never be reversed.
Seeing that the phantom from the mythology and legend had been blocked, Derik hurriedly followed the sudden tremor and burning of the "Darkless Cross" in his palm, and pressed his finger hard on a spike.
His blood poured into the cross with pain, and the vigorous and clear light rushed out, flew into the air, and broke down, instantly covering the silver-gray armor and eyes like a small sunset figure.
In the sacred, solemn, pure light, the huge and illusory figure stopped, frozen, and stopped moving, as if it had encountered a natural nemesis, and the silver-gray armor stained with the light of the dusk showed signs of melting.
Seizing this opportunity, the evil spirit knight in front of the elder Lovia, the "Shepherd" elder pulled out the illusory giant sword inserted into the ground, and instantly slashed the enemy with silver gaps that disappeared and appeared.
The two straight swords of "Demon Hunter" Colin went from top to bottom, as if the rising sun burst out from the light, covering the head of the ancient figure.
Joshua, Heinmu and others did not hesitate and launched their strongest attacks respectively.
After three consecutive rounds, the illusory figure that seemed to have traveled through time and space finally began to disintegrate and cracked into a burning orange-red light spot.
"Demon Hunter" Colin landed on the ground, looked at this scene, and thought about it:
"It should be that the remaining guardian will of the Giant King and the environment here have been integrated for many years, and have a certain amount of strength and form, and are a kind of evil spirits.
"What secret is hidden here..."
Hearing the chief's words, everyone turned their eyes forward and turned to the place blocked by the terrifying phantom just now, and the atmosphere was quite calm for a moment.
Fortunately, it was just an evil spirit, restrained by the "Darkless Cross"... It was just a little residual will, almost no power, and after thousands of years, it was still so terrible. What would the real ancient god look like... Well, why did He have such a strong will to protect this place, because it was His parents who were buried? Derrick breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the chief and others to approach the two tombstones with doubt and curiosity.
Huh... I don't need to take action... I have to say that this "Darkless Cross" is so easy to use in the "Giant Court", so easy to use that I wonder if this is Adam's purpose... On the gray fog, Klein also breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the raised "Sea God's Scepter" a little.
He then turned his attention to the place where the Giant King will still have to protect thousands of years away.
The first thing that caught his eye was two mottled and ancient tombstones, which were written in the giant language with the words "father" and "mother".
They contain the mystery that can mobilize the power of nature, and people can intuitively experience an emotion that combines longing, sadness, pain and guilt at the sight, and are unknowingly infected and make the spirit depressed.
Behind the stone tablet is a tomb, but it has been destroyed, revealing two dark coffins below.
I don’t know who opened the lid of the coffin, as if confirming something. This made the two gray-white corpses lying inside bathe in the light that penetrated the branches and leaves, dyed with orange-red and bloody colors.
Both of these white bones are in human form, one not exceeding 1.9 meters and the other not exceeding 1.8 meters.
