Two tall giants stood erect before the main gate of Ten Thousand Spirits City.
The giants were as large as hills, but their heads were only slightly bigger than humans', making them look somewhat comical.
Yet the aura radiating from the two giants was intensely oppressive. The weapons in their hands were nothing more than crude wooden clubs, but faint light kept spreading through the gaps in the wood. Clearly, they were no ordinary objects.
"Ugh..."
