Chapter 613 Utgarochi
As the dark vortex high in the sky gradually spread and grew larger, the sky became increasingly gloomy.
The sky seemed to be getting darker little by little, it was obviously noon but it was like night.
A roaring storm blew in, rocking the ship parked on the shore. The waves washed back in waves - not waves from east to west, but ripples spreading out from the island of Avalon in circles.
"Captain! Think of a way!"
Albert covered his chestnut-like round hat and shouted to the tall elf next to him: "Is Your Excellency Helechin in danger?"
"……I don't know either."
The gray-haired elf known as the captain frowned: "This is too fast..."
"I think this is a trap! Let's get off the boat!"
The old dwarf made a rough and loud voice.
"In any case, let's send the armor and spear to Mr. Heleqin first."
The human girl next to him looked over: "Otherwise, if he is attacked..."
"——I'll go there and you can guard the ship."
The tall lizard warrior spoke in a low voice, interrupting the voices of the others.
The others immediately became quiet and looked at him with conviction.
"Leave it to you, O'Regan!"
Others shouted, as if if only this warrior took action, everything would be fine.
At this time, the lizard warrior with brown-red skin easily put on the heavy armor on his back, raised his silver-white lance, and frowned at the same time.
——He felt intense uneasiness.
That feeling...
"……demon?"
The giant priest in red robe suddenly raised his head, looked out the window, and frowned: "Where did the devil come from?"
"What devil?"
Another female giant next to him who was much shorter than him was a little confused: "What are you talking about, Shirter?"
"There is a night demon venting her 'jealousy'...perhaps it is the conspiracy of Fallen Sky Division.
"——Also, remember to call me Utgaloch, Sigyn. I am no longer the guardian of the kingdom."
The giant Utgaloch lowered his head and glanced at the long-handled metal ax in his hand, and said calmly: "I no longer have the right to hold the [Wounded Branch]."
"Then do you still want to take care of this matter?"
Sigyn asked with concern: "Or report it to the highest heaven."
Unlike the rough and terrifying appearance of the giant, the giantess Sigyn has a beautiful appearance and skin as white as marble.
She and Utkaloch both have red hair, but her hair is darker, or darker.
"certainly."
Utgaloch replied briefly: "That's right, I want to fight too."
He picked up his weapon, and the arm holding the weapon gradually became engorged with blood and dark red muscles grew.
"Courageous High God!"
He shouted angrily, and his dark red, scarred skin gradually ignited with flames like red wine: "Bless your people!
"I will fight! I will win! I will—
"——I will go crazy!!"
Utgalochi's entire body was steaming in the firelight, and the red robe on his body seemed to be soaked in blood and turned into flames.
First walk slowly, then walk quickly. Then it turned into a mad dash and turned into a comet.
The giant, who was more than ten meters tall, rushed out of the hall of the Supreme Sky with his bare feet. The flames ignited on his body easily evaporated the blood rain, leaving a trail of steaming hot smoke in the rain curtain.
And the other side.
The rain of blood caused by the Night Demon turned into a deadly weapon.
The water turned into blood, the plants began to wither, and the animals fled in panic.
The air was filled with an ominous atmosphere like rust. The curse is attached to every raindrop that falls like a scarlet poisonous needle.
If you keep zooming in, you can see that inside each falling blood droplet, there are dark and ink-like bending lines that bounce back and forth inside the blood droplet. The tip of the thin line is a skull-shaped snake head.
Those giants who were exposed to the rain of blood felt that their bodies began to become weak.
The power in the body began to leak out uncontrollably, the mind began to become abnormal, and the body twitched involuntarily, just like having a fever due to snake venom in the air.
——This is the "snake head curse".
Unlike the ordinary "fever curse", this curse can be precisely targeted - the Night Demon sets it to "all creatures over three meters tall." To the non-cursed, it is just a thick rain of blood; to the cursed race, it is a poison that will be infected when it touches the skin.
Every drop of rain is a curse.
No matter how strong the giant's resistance to the curse is, they still cannot withstand the pressure under such a density of curses, and each and every one of them is entangled by the curse.
Immediately afterwards, they screamed one after another——
When they were cursed, the original rain of blood seemed to actually turn into poisonous needles!
Every drop of rainwater can peel away a small piece of flesh and blood. As if being pierced by dense steel needles falling from the sky, the giants let out miserable screams.
That is even more vicious than the rain of steel needles!
Because after the blood rain penetrates the skin and muscles, it will turn into an acidic poison, causing stronger corrosion to the body. And the next drop of rain may even happen to fall on the spot where it just landed, driving new grinding deep into the body!
In less than a minute, the giants who could not return to the building were washed away by the blood rain and turned into a pile of bones.
Their flesh and blood were corroded by the blood rain, spreading into scarlet rivers on the ground.
Aiwass rode the Pegasus affected by the enchanting aura and flew to the east.
Unlike the knight country Avalon in later generations, the "island Avalon" in this era did not have a port. But this did not prevent Aiwass from knowing that the place where they were staying now should be the west side of Avalon Island.
The location of the Glass Island should be the east of Avalon!
The Pegasus flew at high speed in the air, and the golden sacred light also flowed around it.
The Night Demon followed closely behind.
The rugged wings behind her, like the trunk of a dead tree, opened wide. The illusory shadow feathers dotted on it like leaves. Her body almost completely turned into nothingness and disappeared in the sky that turned into "night".
——That night demon didn't look like Aiwas's follower at all, but rather like someone chasing him from behind!
At this time, Aiwas finally arrived at the first large gathering point.
Aiwas knew that giants were not normal social animals. They often lived in small areas in families, and usually did not interact with other giants and had no social needs. Some giant families that lived relatively compactly could be called "gathering places" or "gathering points."
The giants would build castles and raise humans in their own areas - they called the humans who established villages and towns "free-range", and the ownership of these free-range humans was still theirs.
With the endless vegetables provided by the magic cauldron, the giants would not starve to death even if they had a huge appetite. But for them, meat was undoubtedly a luxury. Because of this, the giants often named the gathering points after the parts of the meat... and naturally there would be areas with the same name.
After all, although the Giant Kingdom was called a kingdom, it did not have grassroots managers.
The Giant Kingdom implemented the most classic flat state management - the entire country had only three thin layers. The royal family at the highest level, with the blood of the Supreme Heaven flowing in their veins, is the spokesperson of the Supreme Heaven in the material world. Below them are the priests who focus on literature and the generals who focus on martial arts, followed by civilians from all over the country. All civilians are soldiers, and there are no giants who are not good at fighting.
The reason why the giants set up gathering points is that as devout believers of the Supreme Heaven, they have a rigid demand for sacrifice. It is too far to go to the royal city, so they need a closer area for sacrificial activities.
From this perspective, the gathering point of the giants is a large group of scattered giants around the territory designated by the temple.
"Go, Night Demon!"
Aiwass commanded: "First demolish the temple to prevent apostles from being teleported through the temple!"
"Yes, master."
The Night Demon answered concisely and clearly, and then dived towards the temple like a black comet!
