"Interesting! Truly interesting!"
As the battle raged on the ground, Sui Xiong hovered invisibly in the sky not far from the battlefield, watching both sides with great interest.
He was very satisfied with the clerics' performance, and Baron Dar's wise decision also made him nod inwardly. But what truly interested him at the moment was that goblin chieftain.
Unlike mortals, Sui Xiong possessed immense power and ample experience. He had already seen through the fellow's true abilities—the rest of its skills were nothing special; the only remarkable one was its ability to suddenly grow larger.
That ability was not the "Enlarge Spell" the sweep army's spellcasters had identified, but another strange yet similar spell: the Giant Insect Spell.
Some seasoned adventurers had taken part in battles to eliminate insect-type Demonic Beasts. In those battles, they would occasionally encounter monstrous insects capable of using strange powers to become as large as humans in an instant, or even larger. Spellcasters had studied those insect Demonic Beasts, hoping to analyze that wondrous ability, develop it into a spell, and then use it on humans, golems, or the like.
Just imagine it: suppose a golem nearly twice a person's height suddenly grew more than tenfold—how mighty would that be! Even if it could not last long, being able to fight in that state for only ten or twenty seconds would be enough to smash through an enemy formation and deal a crushing blow to their morale.
Yet after studying it for some time, everyone gave up on this seemingly alluring idea. For despite expending vast amounts of magic power and resources, and losing countless test subjects, they never achieved the crucial breakthrough needed to transfer the spell to "humans" or "golems."
As time passed, fewer and fewer spellcasters researched such insect Demonic Beasts. In
