A deep blue, gently surging, boundless sea, seemingly teeming with endless life, appeared before the eyes of the City of Silver exploration team members. It was no longer a record in ancient texts, nor a combination of words from the mouth of an outsider.
Although it is still far away, it seems that it is already within reach.
Antillna, with her wine-red hair, stared in that direction, her mouth agape as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, only one word came out:
"The sea..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a silver-white crack suddenly appeared on her forehead.
The crack shot upwards and downwards rapidly, instantly splitting Antillna in two. Warm, bright red blood gushed out, splattering Derrick's head and face.
Without a sound, more silvery-white light burst out from Antillna's body, splitting her body into countless small pieces of flesh and blood.
Those hopeful and fascinated faces were like jigsaw puzzle pieces that had been smashed to the ground, scattering one after another.
It wasn't until this moment that " Demon Hunter " Colin reacted, swinging his two straight swords horizontally and diagonally as if dealing with an invisible enemy.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Amidst the flashing silver light and the echoing clang of metal, the Dawn shattered and scattered around Colin Iliad.
At this moment, the silver-white phantom behind " Shepherd " Lovia stepped forward and plunged the blurry giant sword into the ground.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Surrounding the people of City of Silver, streaks of sharp silver light appeared in different places, desperately cutting through the invisible barrier nearby, like insects struggling in amber.
Ta-da!
The silver light, sometimes fine and sometimes thick, kept appearing, making the protective force surrounding the exploration team teeter on the brink of collapse, on the verge of shattering at any moment. But neither " Demon Hunter " Colin, " Shepherd " Lovia, nor Derrick and the others could find any trace of the enemy.
Just as " The Fool " Klein above the Gray Fog was about to offer a warning, the chief of the " Council of Six " seemed to have thought of something and crossed his two straight swords in front of him.
when!
A massive silver light struck the two straight swords, causing " Demon Hunter " Colin's feet to sink into the solid stone slabs.
He seized the opportunity and roared suddenly:
" Unshadowed Domain!"
Upon hearing the chief's reminder, Derrick did not hesitate and plunged a finger deep into the thorns of the " Unshadowed Crucifix ".
As his blood spilled out, a clear, bright, pure, and blazing light suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire area between the two buildings.
In this area, not a single shadow can exist, nothing can be hidden anymore; light has become the master.
A colossal figure swiftly appeared on the side of the Giant King's palace. It was clad in full silver armor, nearly five meters tall, and behind its visor, instead of a deep red or orange light, stood a single, vertical One-Eyed.
This is a Giant, a living Giant.
He doesn't wait for the enemy to enter his warning range before attempting an attack; he possesses sufficient Wisdom.
Unlike other silver-armored knights, this Giant's arm armor had distinctive patterns: one blood-red pattern on the right side, encircling the arm, and another in the same position on the left side, adorned with black patches.
The Giant knight raised his broadsword, pointed it at the people of City of Silver, and spoke in a thunderous voice:
"How dare you trespass into the royal court and disturb Lord Sasrir's slumber!"
" Sasrir?" Sasrir " Dark Angel " Klein, the Fool above the Gray Fog, was startled and unconsciously sat up straight.
The former Left Hand of God, Heaven's Deputy, leader of the Angel King, and one of the two leaders of the " Rose Redemption," did not disappear into the long river of history. He slumbers deep within the " Giant King's Court," slumbering in the residence of the Giant King. Why did He choose to slumber? One thought after another flashed through Klein's mind in an instant, and he subconsciously shifted his gaze to the palace guarded by the Giant knight.
That was the tallest and most magnificent building in the " Giant King's Court." The light of Twilight seemed to materialize, covering its surface and giving it a distinct sense of decay, making one feel as if Twilight was ending and eternal night was approaching.
It has a spire on one side and a round tower on the other, with the main entrance facing each other. It is mainly gray-blue and far exceeds ten meters in height. It is covered with symmetrical symbols, signs and patterns, which are both solemn and mysterious.
Three or four meters above the gate, on the left side of the door crack, there is a dark hole, about the size of an adult's fist.
Upon seeing this scene, Klein suddenly recalled the " Dream Divination " he had done before. At that time, he had seen the exact same scene, and the medium for the Divination was the Giant Key he obtained from " Vice Admiral Iceberg ".
Was that the key to the Giant King's residence? Klein reached out and tried to use his " Spirit Vision " to penetrate the building's obstruction and see what was inside the palace.
Unfortunately, he failed, and the black iron key, the size of a seven-stringed lyre, fell in front of him.
At this moment, " Demon Hunter " Colin abruptly spoke before the Giant knight could launch his attack:
"Are you a ' Court Pursuers '?"
The Giant knight didn't bring his broadsword down; he paused for a second and said in a low voice:
"After all these years, people still remember the ' Court Pursuers '."
"I am the leader of all the hunters, ' Light Slayer ' Myrgongen, who later followed Lord Sasrir."
"I have hunted powerful Dragon, Elf, Devil, Demonic Wolf, Phoenix. Today, it is your honor to die by my sword."
This " Light Slayer " showed no sign of backing down. He lowered his body slightly, gripped his longsword with both hands, and charged towards the people of City of Silver with heavy force and high speed, like a flying meteorite.
Because of the existence of the " Unshadowed Domain," he could no longer Concealment his presence as before.
Just as Colin Iliad, Lovia, and the others judged that Myrgongen's attack would arrive in a second, the Giant knight suddenly unleashed his silver broadsword mid-air.
Colin, the " Demon Hunter " who was not within Lovia's Evil Spirit defense circle, suddenly sensed danger and pounced to the side without hesitation.
Bang!
A sharp silver light suddenly appeared from where he had been standing, destroying everything from the inside out.
The attack came so strangely, as if it had spontaneously generated within that void itself.
At the same time, Colin Iliad, who had fallen to the ground, also changed; his clothes were torn to shreds and strips by his rapidly expanding muscles.
In the blink of an eye, this " Demon Hunter " transformed into a four-meter-tall Giant with dark blue-green hair, a gray-blue base, and a dark crack on his forehead. Every inch of him contained immense power, boundless mystery, and strange spiritual influence.
If Beyonder below Sequence 4 were to witness this scene, they would inevitably be severely shocked. Their brains would likely experience terrifying, agonizing pains that could drive them to madness, and their Spirituality would be contaminated. If they could not withstand such an impact, going insane, losing control, or even dying would become unavoidable options.
This is the incomplete Mythical Creature Form of a Demigod.
Colin Iliad was originally affected by " Twilight " in the " Giant King's Court " and dared not release this state, but he now finds that the feeling of decay and desolation in the " Unshadowed Domain " has been greatly reduced.
He then brandished his two enormous straight swords, now bathed in the light of Dawn, and engaged in a fierce battle with " Light Slayer " Myrgongen in the shadowless realm shrouded in light.
Ta-da!
The three swords of the two " Giant " clashed and separated at times Colin Iliad was at a disadvantage, he still managed to withstand the attacks of the leader of the " Court Pursuers ".
He would occasionally experience a strong Danger Premonition, and then, without warning, he would leap from his original position, rolling or bouncing, to move in another direction.
At this time, streaks of silver light would always erupt from the inside out where he had been.
Derrick had already closed his eyes, ignoring the bleeding, and struggled to maintain the " Unshadowed Domain." Heim and another " Dawn Paladin " also dared not open their eyes, assisting the " Shepherd " Elder Lovia in slowly moving the group towards the palace they had just emerged from, without losing the protective power.
If it weren't for the help of the Silver-Armored Knight's Evil Spirit, they would have long been cut into pieces by the " Storm of Light " sweeping through the area, the countless silver rays appearing everywhere, and the violent shaking of the ground.
The " Light Slayer " Myrgongen single-handedly overwhelmed the City of Silver exploration team, leaving them no chance to retaliate.
As expected of the leader of the " Court Pursuers," this should be considered the first tier below gods, or Angel... Compared to the " Demon Hunter," the " Silver Knight " possess several more terrifying and extraordinary abilities... Above the Gray Fog, " The Fool " Klein, holding the " Sea God Scepter," carefully observed the battle.
He quickly figured out where " Light Slayer " Myrgongen's power lay.
"First, the protective power materialized into a full-body silver armor. Second, it allows Light Concealment and conceal malice. Third, the condensed ' Sword of Dawn ' can no longer be maintained for a short time; it can be used as a regular weapon, sharp enough and adept at Purification. Fourth, it can create a ' Silver Rapier ' with the ability to ' Teleportation,' bypassing most barriers to directly attack the target, even erupting from within the target's body. Moreover, the condensation of this ' Silver Rapier ' is almost without warning, making it difficult to predict in advance..."
"This is Saint is extremely skilled in direct combat. If it weren't for the City of Silver Chief's rich experience, strong intuition, and ability to fight in the Mythical Creature Form, he would have been in danger long ago due to being completely suppressed by the same method... If it were me, I might have already been killed. Of course, I wouldn't fight this ' Court Pursuers ' leader head-on..."
"Judging from the current situation, since that Evil Spirit is protecting its Grazing and cannot directly participate in the battle, the City of Silver exploration team has almost no chance of winning. Hmm, they are already retreating little by little, very rational... If all else fails, we will have to let Mr. ' The Fool ' unleash his lightning punishment... However, the ' True Creator ' should still be watching this place... My ' Lightning Storm ' may not be able to quickly resolve the Myrgongen..." As Klein's thoughts raced, a question suddenly occurred to him.
That is, how did Myrgongen, the " Light Slayer " who is not Angel, manage to survive from the end of the Second Age to the present day? He is neither Witch, nor Vampire, nor Undying "!
Judging from his rationality and the abilities he has demonstrated in battle, he should not possess Beyonder Characteristic mixed with other means.
