" Brann! Get out of my way!"
Jiang Jie was furious; he was about to explode!
He originally planned to have everyone ready before attacking Archaedas together.
Although the attack will awaken Archaedas, at least we've gained the upper hand. Perhaps a single area-of-effect attack can severely damage Archaedas, making things much easier. With Anveena's help, taking down Archaedas shouldn't be too difficult.
And the result?
Brann, in a moment of recklessness, activated the altar.
This monster-hunting maniac!
Jiang Jie blamed himself, wondering why he hadn't kept an eye on Brann. He really shouldn't have!
Knowing he's a monster-hunting maniac, they still didn't have faith in him. They should have tied him up with a rope instead. What a mess!
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
" Li Li! Aysa! Ji! Go and close the temple doors! Then step aside! Protect yourselves!"
" Uncle Chen, let's go!"
" Anveena, unleash all Earthen and Stone Giants at once!"
Jiang Jie gave the order repeatedly and took out the divine sword Strom'kar.
Against an enemy of Archaedas's caliber, arrows are useless, and ordinary spells are ineffective; the only option is to fight head-on!
The equivalent of all the Chi at the Houtian Eighth Layer was condensed in " Widow's Fury ". The blue and white one-handed greatsword was filled with green Chi and became a veritable green Chi giant sword.
That's not all.
Earth, fire, water, and wind—the four elemental energies—surround the greatsword of Chi, granting it even greater power. Even with the four minor Elemental Spirits and Anveena, the sword strike that severely injured Mannoroth in Demon Fall Canyon wouldn't be much stronger than this one.
Then, with a roar from Old Chen, he leaped ten meters and, like Thunderfury, slashed down heavily.
The next moment, the giant sword slashed down, striking directly at Azadas's head. Shards flew everywhere and embedded themselves in Archaedas's rocky skull, leaving a fifty-centimeter-deep wound that almost split the upper half of Archaedas's head in two!
Old Chen suddenly kicked off, landing squarely on the nose, using the momentum to flip 60 degrees in the air before landing steadily, panting heavily.
This sword strike consumed nearly a third of his internal Chi, and the recoil even cracked his tiger's mouth. Now his hands were covered in blood, his arms were numb and he could barely exert any strength. He could not even lift the greatsword and was trembling as he retreated to Li Li's side.
" The Eastern Peak Sword, the Sword Splits Mount Tai!"
All of the Shadow Phoenix " Pyralis's " energy was concentrated on the divine sword Strom'kar, forming a ten-meter-long flaming giant sword. With the addition of some Chi, this sword was even more domineering and powerful than Old Chen's sword.
The giant sword swept across the sky, but instead of severing Archaedas's head, it struck his legs.
Because he witnessed Old Chen's sword strike, he knew that it was impossible to destroy Archaedas's head with a single blow. Moreover, even if Archaedas's head were destroyed, he probably wouldn't die immediately. Titan Keepers are different from humans; their heads are not their fatal weakness.
Jiang Jie was aimed at the leg.
Even the Titan Keepers cannot violate the basic rules; without legs, his movements are restricted, making it much easier to deal with him.
Archaedas had not fully awakened, so Jiang Jie easily succeeded.
However, unexpectedly yet logically, Archaedas's legs were extremely hard. His rocky body, formed from a mixture of various rocks, was even harder than Vajra. The flaming greatsword could only wound him, not cut him through. The wound was over fifty centimeters long, but it was still not enough.
At this moment, Archaedas finally fully awoke!
After countless years of slumber, he was finally awakened, only to be met with a terrible attack. How could Archaedas, who was already somewhat delirious, not be furious?
"Who dares to awaken Archaedas? Who dares to anger the creator god? Who dares to enter the temple of the Titan Keepers?"
An ancient voice rang out, asking three questions in a row, which were three consecutive expressions of accumulated anger.
Archaedas was injured. For an ordinary person, this would be a fatal wound, but for Archaedas, it was just an ordinary injury, nothing serious.
He raised his right foot and stomped it on the ground, causing the earth to tremble. The entire Seat of Khaz'goroth shook, and then the earth began to crack, making it difficult to stand.
Immediately afterwards, blue and white light flowed through the wound, the power bestowed by the Titans was rapidly consumed, black or white dust appeared, all the broken stone fragments flew back, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although his power had been severely depleted due to his distance from Ulduar, and although he now possessed less than a tenth of his peak strength, it was still formidable. As long as this power remained, he would not die, nor would he be killed by any injury.
Anveena brandished her Prehistoric Staff, her voice urgent. "In the name of the Lesser Keeper ' Anveena,' all Earthen and Stone Giants, heed my command: Attack Archaedas!"
Rumble!
Knock knock knock!
All the Earthen and Stone Giants surrounded and attacked Archaedas.
If the Earthen and Stone Giants were created by the Forge of Wills, possessing complete souls and wills, and being independent individuals, then they would be capable of self-judgment and know that Archaedas is also Keeper. Therefore, they would certainly not obey Anveena's orders to attack Archaedas.
But these are not.
They hadn't undergone the Forge of Wills to create their own will; they lacked complete souls. They were robots, not truly independent individual lives, and therefore only obeyed the commands of their Awakened. Hence, their collective attack on Azada.
Si.
"You lowly servants, how dare you defy your master! I created you, and I can Devastation you just as easily!"
Archaedas was enraged. He kicked several Earthen away, then Void reached out and clenched his fist in the air. A terrifying power erupted from an Earthen's body, and the next moment the Earthen's body completely shattered into countless fragments, even knocking back and injuring the surrounding Earthen and Stone Giants!
He actually possesses the ability to directly Devastation Earthen!
This power was bestowed upon him by the Titans, the power to control the earth, and the divine power to forge it; therefore, it naturally also possessed the power of Devastation.
Everything he creates can Devastation by him!
Jiang Jie's eyes narrowed slightly.
Archaedas was so terrifying; this was something he hadn't anticipated.
Was it a mistake to use Earthen and Stone Giants to fight Archaedas?
"Elder brother!"
Anveena's voice rang out. "He shattered the Titan-forged with Shattering Strike, which requires the power bestowed by the Titans! With each Shattering Strike, his power dissipates and returns to the earth!"
Will the power dissipate? Just like in Ironaya?
Then let's attack, a suicidal attack!
After more than a dozen Earthen exploded in succession, Archaedas regained some of his sanity. Realizing that this couldn't continue, he flew into a rage, his eyes fixed on Anveena: "Newly Lesser Keeper! How dare you help the enemy against me? I, as Keeper, order you to stop immediately!"
Stop?
hehe!
Dude, you're overthinking it.
The ranks of Titan Keepers differ in their positions and authority, but unless there is a superior-subordinate relationship, lower-ranking Keeper have no obligation to obey the orders of higher-ranking Keeper.
In fact, even if there really is a superior-subordinate relationship, so what?
Didn't Loken still rebel?
Even the Highkeeper Ra, still couldn't truly command the other Keeper.
They are all Titan Keepers, individuals with independent souls and free wills. Who listens to whom?
Archaedas, you've been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, are you out of your mind?
The Earthen and Stone Giants continued their attack, and Old Chen and Jiang Jie, who had taken the time to rest, also rejoined the battle, making Archaedas's situation increasingly precarious.
He roared, causing the earth to tremble once more, but the skill was useless against the enemy before him.
He launched a dozen or so more Shattering Strike, but there were too many Earthen and Stone Giants, and he had no way to overcome them; his energy began to decline continuously.
"Humble mortals, do you really think my power is limited to this? Let me show you the true power of the Titan Keepers!"
