Chapter 2412 Humbaba

When Audrey recovered from the shock, the lion-headed giant on the opposite side had drawn out the adamantine wooden giant sword slanted behind his back, exuding a substantive murderous aura from his whole body.

She instinctively raised the shield, and then realized that there was too much difference in size between herself and the lion-headed giant. Against the opponent's huge sword, the shield was no different from a small and thin leaf, and trying to block it was tantamount to suicide.

"Thanks to the blessing of my lord, my firm faith helped me overcome my fear and make the right decision at the critical moment of life and death. I rolled between the legs of the lion-headed giant before the bridge-like giant sword fell on the head. I swung my sword and cut its calf, and the blood fell on me like a waterfall."

Audrey continued to describe the thrilling battle that happened not long ago in the letter.

"The lion-headed giant with a height of more than 70 feet, after being slashed by my sword with all my strength, he staggered a step and then stood firm, and the wound on his leg stopped bleeding and healed-this frustrating phenomenon shows that he seems to have 'Regenerating' physique."

"At the moment when the lion-headed giant turned around to hunt me down, Hyrule activated the magic power of the legendary giant sword Tyrfing, doubled in size and greatly increased in strength, and rushed towards the lion-headed giant with her best 'afterimage slash'. "

"Even if the size doubles, Hailar's height is only equivalent to one-sixth of the lion-headed giant. The power gap between the two sides cannot be evened out by Tyrfing's magic power. The lion-headed giant reacted very quickly this time, turned around and swung the giant sword, I sent Hailaer flying with her sword and fell far into the bushes, and I didn't see her stand up again after that, obviously she was seriously injured."

"Mr. Holden and Pinkerton were afraid that the lion-headed giant would chase and kill Hyrule, so he quickly cast a spell to stop it. Unfortunately, neither the 'spider web' nor the 'entanglement' could restrain the giant, and he took a random step and pulled the spider web and vines apart." It's all over the place."

"The lion-headed giant freed his left hand, clenched his fist and slammed into the ground. At the same time, he chanted a mysterious arcane incantation, and the ground shook violently, cracking countless bottomless ravines!"

"I felt like I had turned into a ball, bouncing on the violently trembling ground, trying my best to avoid falling into the ravine, and managed to escape the earthquake area."

"I fled to a safe place. I hurriedly turned my head and saw that Mr. Pinkerton had also run out of the earthquake area. Holden was even smarter. He spread his dragon wings and flew up, bombarding the lion-headed giant with his fireball wand."

"That's when I remembered that I had an eagle-wing cloak in my storage bag. Wearing the cloak, I could grow wings and fly in the air. I could also summon Pegasus to fly with Mr. Pinkerton on its back. Hyrule is also good at flying spells."

"The lion-headed giant is huge, and it seems that most of them can't fly. As long as everyone flies into the sky, they will be invincible."

"However, I soon realized that my thinking was too naive. The lion-headed giant pointed at the sky under the bombardment of the fireball, and I did not know what kind of magic was used to create a translucent net out of thin air, holding Holden's wings tightly. clung to him and forced him to fall from mid-air."

"I was worried that Holden would be injured, so I ran over to catch him. Mr. Pinkerton seemed to have the same plan, rushing to the crash zone from another direction."

"At this moment, the lion-headed giant suddenly turned to face us, and spewed out a large piece of scorching and dazzling light from its mouth."

"The blazing golden wave swept in. I quickly raised my shield to cover it. I still felt the pain in my eyes. I couldn't open my eyes for a while. Mr. Pinkerton's exclamation came from my ears. It is not difficult to imagine that his situation is more dangerous than mine. .”

"Just when I was feeling desperate, someone held my hand, and Hailar's urgent voice sounded next to my ear, as if he was chanting a teleportation spell."

"Initially, I wondered why she forcibly opened the 'Any Door' knowing that the teleportation spell would be interfered by the green sea barrier, but I soon realized that teleportation is certainly risky, and it's better than staying here and waiting to die."

"When I woke up, I cast a magic spell to remove my blindness, and found myself in the depths of the dense forest, only Hailar, who was pale and bloody at the corner of her mouth, was beside me. When she saw that I was about to speak, she quickly covered my mouth and signaled not to. make a sound."

"Her tense expression made me realize that I was not out of danger yet, and I accidentally looked up, and found that the lion-headed giant who beat us to death was right on top of my head at this moment.

His cloak turned into a pair of green dragon wings, which spread out in the air, allowing his huge body to soar a thousand feet high. "

"The pair of giant hands of the lion-headed giant grabbed Holden and Pinkerton respectively, as if holding two kittens. The emerald eyes overlooked the green fields below, and their eyes penetrated the dense forest. They were patrolling back and forth, apparently searching for me and Hyrule."

"Hailaer endured the pain and cast the 'invisibility ball'. The two of us squatted in the bushes, not daring to breathe."

"About ten minutes later, the lion-headed giant searched to no avail, and flew to Grizzly Town with Holden and Pinkerton, whose life and death were unknown. The huge figure landed and finally disappeared in the depths of the greenery."

"Until this moment, Hailar and I breathed a sigh of relief and discussed what to do next."

"We racked our brains and couldn't figure out how to rescue Mr. Holden and Pinkerton from the lion-headed giant. Joan, can you give us some advice?"

...

After reading Audrey's letter, Joan took a deep breath, barely suppressed her anxiety, and calmly analyzed the current situation.

The lion-headed giant mentioned many times in Audrey’s letter made Joan think of Mrs. Josephine’s warning, and then concluded that the lion-headed giant was the Humbaba that Mrs. Josephine called, also known as the “prehistoric giant” , ranked second among the three elders of the "primitive religion".

Like Anahita, Humbaba has the same mythical blood. It is said that he was born in the giant royal family of Asgard. He can crush all mortal giants including the "Storm Giant" with just physical strength, not to mention that he also has a powerful body. Spellcasting abilities and mythic powers.

Humbaba's status in the "Primitive Order" is slightly lower than that of "Oz Fairy" Anahita, mainly because Anahita's "Oz Wonderland" has more strategic value. As for the strength of fighting alone , Humbaba is even stronger than Anahita.

According to the countess, this "prehistoric giant" once fought with his bare hands against the two mythical wolves raised by Angel Boda, and he was not defeated.

Since Anahita and Humbaba are both in Grizzly Town, no matter how Audrey and Hyrule hide, as long as they are still inside the "Wonderland of Oz", sooner or later they will fall into the hands of these two legendary powerhouses, let alone already been captured. Holden and Pinkerton were captured by Humbaba.

Thinking that her friends were on the verge of life and death, Joan couldn't sit still any longer. She hurriedly took out the communication crystal, first sent a letter to Professor Moriarty to ask for leave, and then sent a letter to Mrs. Josephine, briefly explaining about Ao Dai The critical situation of Li and others.

Forced by the situation, Joan decided not to wait for Mrs. Josephine to go with her, and immediately went to Grizzly Town alone for rescue.
