Chapter 46 Giant
Chapter 46 Giant
The twin brothers were named Wyatt Barnes and Gert Barnes. They looked very similar, both with brown hair and blue eyes, and their curly hair was styled into the typical Imperial sideburns.
They were the sons of Viscount Barnes, whose family was a vassal of the Ston family.
Both of them are low level, level 25, and are knights. Their combat power is not great, but they can serve as front-line tanks.
Aren't you leaving?
"Oliya asked."
"We won't go. Our father said we must reach the BOSS level as far as possible."
The two brothers spoke in unison, their understanding as perfect as if they were cut from the same mold.
Because the nobles had not yet reached an agreement on the issue of the North Underground City, other nobles did not openly send people into the North Underground City to explore it, but only allowed their sons to enter together.
Of course, they must have hired adventurers in the shadows, but that's another story altogether.
Oliya nodded without asking further questions: "Then you guys go ahead. If we encounter monsters, Undine and I will need you to hold them off."
Wyatt and Gert walked ahead in silence upon hearing this.
After walking several hundred meters, they entered a gray-black stone forest. Their magic was completely drained, and gravity constantly pulled at their bodies, making them stagger.
Even the enchanted soul on Olya's inner armor couldn't resist the anomalies here, and Undine's longbow had become an ordinary bow and arrow; she couldn't even condense an arrow.
In principle, enchanted souls also require magic to activate; they are not true products of the rules, and Caesar cannot completely solidify a rule-based entity.
"This place is simply not something a second-tier adventurer can conquer..."
Undine said with difficulty.
The other three expressed their strong agreement.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A thunderous sound came from the depths of the stone forest, indicating that something was fighting ahead.
"Yes, that's it! That's what a fight should be like! Fight me like a real man!"
A roar of extreme excitement came through, indistinct and with the sound of a beast.
"Could this be a sound made purely by the body?"
The four of them looked at each other, noticing the curiosity in each other's eyes.
Adventurers are a group with a strong sense of curiosity, especially in special places like dungeons where there is no death. Once their curiosity is aroused, it is very likely to be satisfied.
"Let's go take a look. We'll pass by there anyway if we're heading towards the treasure chest."
The four of them made up their minds in just a few breaths, driven forward by curiosity.
Whether it was luck or misfortune, before they could get very close, the sounds of battle grew louder and louder, and the battlefield was closing in on them.
An astonishing heat was spreading, and the sky had turned crimson at some point, as if an active volcano was erupting nearby, with heat rushing towards everyone like a tidal wave.
The heat was so intense that even the superhuman physiques of the four, including Olya, felt like they were being steamed alive.
"roar!"
They heard a roar that seemed to come from hell. As the roar sounded, a black and red figure suddenly flew up with its back facing upwards. Its posture was extremely strange, with its face almost merging with its lower body.
The source of that astonishing heat was this figure, but the fire had already been extinguished.
"He's a half-demon! He probably has the blood of a high-level demon in his body."
Undine, with her extensive experience, recognized the "shadow" at a glance.
"This is a monster from the dungeon; the one fighting it must be an adventurer."
Half-demons belong to the noble 'demon race' and are completely different from the surface monsters. On the surface, they almost only appear in the Demon Land.
Therefore, this half-demon could only be a monster from the dungeon, since North City is too far from the Demon Land, almost separated by an entire empire.
The moment Undine spoke, a strong tremor reached their feet. An explosion-like sound came from below the half-demon, and a three-meter-tall giant leaped up using only his physical strength, his target the half-demon high above.
The giant's strength was terrifying. Despite the gravity that made it difficult for Undine and the others to move, he leaped up and his speed was surprisingly fast, managing to catch up with the half-demon.
A smile of extreme excitement appeared on the giant's honest face. He raised his hands high, and the muscles in his body seemed to bulge and contract as if they had a mind of their own, like giant dragons coiling around him, transferring all the power to his hammer-like fists.
"boom!"
This time it was a real explosion. The half-demon was shattered by the slam, his body exploding into blazing demonic flames, and then instantly scattered by the giant's fist.
"That's pretty strong. Could it be a pure-blooded Titan?"
Undine clicked her tongue. Although she couldn't see through it and couldn't perceive the giant's level, she felt that perhaps this giant could defeat her simply by using his physical strength.
If they weren't too far apart, she might not have much of a chance of winning even with an enchanted longbow.
The giant also looked this way. He landed on a stone pillar that was a hundred meters long, and with a little effort, he swooped down like a cannonball.
Oria and the others quickly dodged to avoid being crushed into meat patties by the tower-like giant.
"Short guys, sorry, did I scare you?"
The giant's skin was grayish-white, very similar in color to the anti-magic stone, and its texture was also similar, like rock.
It apologized in a muffled voice, its face full of honesty and guilt, and it touched its rough, hairless head sheepishly.
Looking at it now, it seems quite different from the version of itself that had just smashed the half-demon.
The two Barnes brothers seemed stunned and didn't reply. It was Olya, who had powerful backers, who was more carefree and came closer, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Hey big guy, are you a giant? How come you're so tall?"
"I am a giant, my name is Altai Sky."
"Hello, Altai, I am Olya, the elf is Undine, and the other two are Wyatt and Gert."
Oliya introduced, then leaned a little closer and asked, "Altai, can I touch your skin? It feels so peculiar."
Altai nodded, somewhat surprised. "You're a good little guy, and your skin is very nice too."
"Ugh, it feels a bit like a rock, it's so hard and has no elasticity at all. Is that why you don't have any hair?"
While Olya was giving her evaluation, Undine, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, unsure whether she should call Olya back.
The Barnes brothers' expressions were even more exaggerated, their eyes filled with an inexplicable adoration as they looked at Olya.
They all recognized Altai's surname, a surname reserved for royalty among pure-blooded giants, a legendary creature on par with dragons.
Although the giants did not establish kingdoms due to their small numbers, they were incredibly united, and each individual was extremely powerful, only slightly weaker than dragons of the same level. The royal family even surpassed most dragons.
Their royal family is extremely rare, even fewer than the number of heroes.
Oria's behavior at this moment was no different from that of a foreign pervert molesting the imperial princess, and then complaining that the princess wasn't big enough.
