"Sis, my suggestion is that we be careful. Those Cyclopes are not to be underestimated either!" House of Antony's records naturally contained accounts of the Cyclops race. Those immensely strong brutes were not easy opponents, and some of them possessed extraordinary racial gifts! They even had baffling magic immunity...

"How disgusting!" Ajax shook her hair helplessly. Their enormous size meant astonishing brute strength. While they could not compare to Behemoths capable of tearing dragons apart with their bare hands, they could certainly make ordinary wyverns tremble in fear!

Cyclopes possessed strange mental interference abilities. They could form special zones of mental interference to block detection skills! It was practically an innate talent of the Cyclopes!
