Chapter 465: 430 The Giant that Swallowed the Demon Worm_2
It suddenly appeared from the other end of the cave, stepping heavily, dragging its heavy stone spear, step by step, heading in the direction of Reiger and Revin.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The magic beasts became agitated after the appearance of the giant and no longer targeted Reiger and Revin; as if terrified by something horrifying, they began to frantically flee.
Facing such magic beasts, the giant took an extremely radical action.
"Ohhhhhhhhh——!"
With a deafening roar, the giant swung its stone spear, generating a terrifying gale that howled and stormed toward the surrounding magic beasts.
"Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—"
Instantly, those magic beasts struck by the stone spear burst open like smashed walnuts, easily shattered by the spear, their blood and bodily fluids splattering out, covering the ground.
"Ohhhhhhhhh——!"
The giant roared and bellowed, swinging its stone spear in the most barbaric manner. The sound of the spear whooshing through the air continually echoed, stirring up fierce gusts of wind all around.
The magic beasts before this giant were completely reduced to tiny insects being ruthlessly tormented; each swing of the giant’s stone spear, like a bug swatter, could kill a large group of magic beasts, leaving not even intact bodies behind.
After tormenting the magic beasts for a while, the giant suddenly let go of the stone spear in its hand, and directly used its hands to grab the magic beasts.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The captured magic beasts desperately beat their wings and struggled, but they couldn’t escape.
Holding a handful of magic beasts, the giant stuffed them into its mouth like jelly beans right in front of Reiger and Revin, chewed for a while, and let bodily fluids splatter out from between its teeth.
Seeing this scene, Reiger and Revin almost vomited.
"What, what is that thing?"
Revin’s hand clenched tighter around the Sword of the Challenger.
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
Reiger responded irritably.
Neither in the memories of the original owner nor in his own understanding of this world could Reiger find any information about the giant before them, nor had he ever heard of such a creature appearing on the subterranean beast Yarakulon.
"No, no, it’s not a creature at all."
Reiger opened his Transparent World view and saw the condition inside the giant.
Inside, the giant’s body had no flesh, no organs, no natural components a living being should have, only an empty space.
This space seemed to be made of metal, with strange patterns engraved on it, in the center of which floated a crystal emitting a faint light.
The magic beasts that the giant had eaten evaporated upon entering this space; nothing remained but streams of energy that flowed into the crystal.
Clearly, this was something man-made and not a living creature.
"Ohhhhhhhhh——!"
The roaring man-made giant continued to gnaw and torment the magic beasts, its motions growing larger, its roars louder, making the entire cavern vibrate.
Soon, the magic beasts that came here were either dead or fled, and none were seen anymore.
Yet the giant did not stop. It crouched down, scraped up the corpses of the dead magic beasts from the ground, and stuffed them in its mouth, chewing vigorously.
These magic beasts either died beneath Revin’s Sword of the Challenger or at the hands of Reiger’s instant-death magic, but now they all became food for the giant, devoured in one go.
Reiger and Revin watched from beginning to end, watching the giant feed, and also watched the magic beast corpses on the ground become fewer and fewer, feeling a growing ominous premonition inside.
"...do you think, once it has finished eating everything on the ground, it will just leave? Or will it target other food present?"
Revin spoke in a tone that was not joking at all.
"I don’t know." Reiger’s eyes shimmered with a transparent gleam, emotionlessly he said, "I only know, it’s not full yet."
Why say that?
Because, inside the wild giant, the crystal that grew brighter as the giant fed seemed to have a lot of room left to increase its brightness.
So, Reiger said it was not yet full.
If it were full, that crystal would have lit up completely.
So, isn’t it easy to guess what the opponent will do next?
"————"
The giant, who had eaten all the food on the ground, stopped all movements, and after a few seconds, slowly turned its head, looking in the direction of Reiger and Revin through the crack that replaced its eyes.
"————"
Reiger and Revin also stopped talking.
Both sides looked at each other, and remained completely still for a long time.
Until———
"OOOOOOOO——!"
The giant roared, its mouth vibrating with sound waves, and picked up the stone spear it had just released, charging toward Reiger and Revin with a booming sound of footsteps.
"Damn!"
Reiger and Revin cursed simultaneously and immediately leaped to the side, one to the left and the other to the right.
"Bang!"
The next second, the giant’s stone spear smashed down hard, breaking through the "Refusal of Life Cocoon" protective shield and shattering the ground.
A guardian magic that could prevent living beings from passing through was completely ineffective against this non-living enemy.
"OOOOOOOO——!"
The giant kept roaring, swinging the stone spear at Revin with one hand, and punching fiercely at Reiger with the other, attacking both Sword Saints simultaneously.
"Clang!"
Revin, who had jumped into mid-air and had nowhere to dodge, hurriedly raised his sword of resistance, blocking the fiercely swinging spear, and after a loud clash of metal, he was sent flying.
"Radiant Green Body."
Reiger activated the defensive magic, allowing emerald light to glitter along the contours of his body.
"Boom!"
With a muffled explosion, Reiger was blasted away by the giant’s huge fist, shooting straight up like a cannonball into the sky.
"OOOOOOOO——!"
The giant roared with rage.
It seemed to realize that its attacks were not only blocked by Revin but were also ineffective against Reiger.
Although Reiger was sent flying up to the ceiling, he suddenly paused in mid-air just before hitting the ceiling, unharmed.
Revin was sent flying too; although his sword of resistance vibrated continuously, he stabilized himself and stopped before hitting the wall.
This annoyed the giant, who gripped the stone spear and with a "thud thud thud" of heavy footsteps charged at the two men.
The two Sword Saints exchanged a look, then focused calmly on the charging giant.
"What do we do?"
Revin asked in a low voice.
Reiger didn’t respond but took action immediately.
"Maximum Enhance·Fireball."
Flames surged, gathering in front of Reiger’s suddenly outstretched fingertip, forming a fireball larger than a man, and shot out explosively.
"Boom!"
The massive fireball hit the giant, blasting it back to the ground and scattering a flurry of flames across the cave, lighting up the entire space.
Without a second thought, Revin’s body surged with black light as he leapt high, swooping over the giant and then coming down hard.
In his hand, the blade of the sword of resistance shimmered with a faint glow as Revin drove it down, piercing into the giant’s chest.
"OOOOOOOO——!"
The giant let out a roar that sounded like pain.
"Triple Enhancement·Maximum Enhance·Fireball."
Three massive fireballs immediately came crashing down, consecutively hitting the giant and engulfing it in a sea of flames.
