Chapter 680,
Chapter 173. Chasing the sword (5)
Red pillars rose from the seabed. The beams of the graveyard giants were so dense that it was not easy to dodge them, but the two of them turned their direction by properly spraying magic and aura while descending.
Like people who have been working together for a long time, there was no need to add words. Jin and Valeria moved as one body and took care of each other’s safety.
Jin knows most of her fighting methods thanks to her past life memories, but Valeria does not.
Nonetheless, when Jin fought alongside Valeria, he felt strange just like her.
‘Unlike me, the teacher doesn’t know who I am in this life, but the sum is good every time.’
‘Fighting with Jin is always strangely stable…’
The two of them heading towards the center of the enemy haven’t had much damage yet, but the upper part is already in a frenzy.
The Barmal Alliance did not suffer any damage thanks to Quikantel’s dodging well, but the problem was that the number of the chasers in the Garden of Swords by Ziple Kinzelo was too large.
Small fish that escape the net and those that do not. The situation of the Bamal Alliance and the rest of the forces was just like that. Only Quikantel was protected by those on his back, leisurely dodging the rays.
The powerful people of each faction tried their best to minimize the damage to allies, but the power of the graveyard giant was far beyond common sense.
If each of the graveyard giants had transcendental status, Jin would not have thought to fight.
No matter how strong it is, a weapon without an ego has its limits.
Whoaaah-!
Spears like giant trees flew in from all directions along with red rays. At a speed that is unimaginable for its size and weight.
I didn’t deliberately avoid the first spear that hit me, but as a test, I hit it with my sword, and my wrist felt sore.
‘Attacks that are heavy but lack irregularities or depth.’
Repetition of monotonous patterns like a machine responding to a certain situation.
However, there were a lot of them, so the tour naturally became complicated, but Jin was able to land on the seabed without difficulty, cutting off their spears.
As soon as the two touched the ground, this time the defensive equipment on the buildings were activated in unison and aimed at Jin.
‘Is it an automatic reaction magic cannon like the one Sir Amela made?’
The magic cannon did not identify friends or foes. Even if the graveyard giants were covering it, they just fired guns in the direction of Jin.
However, the guns bounced in all directions like light reflected in a mirror. Po bounced off the bodies of the graveyard giants, making a noise that was not commensurate with the power of ting ting ting.
Most of them escaped through the sky or the wall of the sea, but there were still too many guns that threatened Jin and Valeria’s path.
‘This must be a bit tiring.’
The moment I had that thought.
Valeria pounded the floor once with her silverpine staff. Then, a huge magic circle was formed like water flowing through a groove.
“It’s not a shield.”
“I’m going to twist the flow of the reflected foam. So you just focus on destroying the graveyard giant.”
The magic power extended from the magic circle began to engrave runes in the air. The thousands of runes were fixed at a distance of about five steps from each other, and the guns could not easily pass between them and seemed to be caught.
Even the guns caught like that never reached the two of them. The guns didn’t seem to be aware of the constant radius the two were moving at all.
‘The size of magical power is much smaller than the destructive power of cannons… is this possible?’
It’s like a master letting down the attack of sewage with less force. Valeria was doing things that can usually be found in fights between warriors with magic.
‘It’s probably because she survived from Sister Runtia through this kind of miracle.’
It was Jin who was shocked by his master’s magic.
“I get it.”
Pzz-!
Sigmund had a deep brain energy.
Then, with all his strength, Jin cut the ankle of the graveyard giant who was blocking his way. The blade did not go in smoothly.
It means it is not beige.
Instead, there was a dull roar and one part of the ankle shattered and dug, but Jin thought that was enough.
‘It’s not like you can’t cut if you swing with your mind, but…’
To do that, you have to be extremely focused every time you unleash the sword. There was no need to fight so ineffectively.
grasp!
The graveyard giant’s ankle was shattered when the brainchild exploded with the blade stuck in it. It was a somewhat messy shape to see that it was cut by a soldier of the level of Jin, but the effect was clear.
“Goooooo…!”
The moment the graveyard giant got down on one knee with his ankle sprained and tried to balance himself. Jin jumped up and stabbed the sword through his head.
Just as it was, his head was smashed, and before the brain-mixed fragments could fall to the floor, Jin descended like lightning and struck the spears flying at Valeria.
It seemed that the thunder god was stepping on the spear and crushing it. Compared to the graveyard giants, Jin was small enough to look like an insignificant creature, but his presence was incomparable even with all the giants combined.
‘If it was my father, he would have naturally disassembled these guys without needing to concentrate.’
My eyes narrowed for a moment at the thought of my father that suddenly came to my mind.
“Looks like you have time to think of something else. This side has to risk their lives every moment.”
“Try to focus a little more.”
In fact, just as Valeria twisted the magic cannon’s trajectory, Jin was also able to make her never get hurt. As long as it’s limited to graveyard giants.
Valeria didn’t know about it, but she said it for nothing. Jin was a little surprised that she was saying nonsense to him now.
A pleasant battle.
Regardless of the situation, the two people were feeling lighter in the workshop where they were perfectly harmonized every moment. When Jin swung his sword, somewhere on the graveyard giants were broken, and when Valeria used her magic, their attacks went off the rails.
No matter how many graveyard giants there were, they seemed to be able to destroy them happily.
More than ten graveyard giants have already been destroyed. In the meantime, there was a newly formed graveyard giant, but fortunately it was not faster than the two people were able to handle it.
Also, the speed at which new graveyard giants appeared was slowing down. Jin predicted that no more would be created when it reached a certain number.
“jin.”
“why?”
“Originally, these weapons do not operate when the target they are guarding disappears.”
“Are you saying that somewhere in this tomb could the remains of a forgotten god remain?”
“It could be, or… God itself could remain.”
“Could the supposedly living Old Runcandel be a god?”
“I don’t have time to perform the record magic right now, so I can’t confirm until I meet him in person. Even if you look at the records, there won’t be many areas that you can know with my level now. And even though their movements are simple, they seem too simple.”
At Valeria’s words, Jin suddenly felt that the movements of the graveyard giants were strange. As if it had some purpose.
“From what you’ve said, it doesn’t seem like the graveyard giants are only moving to get rid of intruders.”
I didn’t recognize it until recently because each one was so huge and I was concerned about damage to my allies, so I destroyed it at will.
“The formation they are deploying is not a situation to surround us, Valeria. It just seemed like we were naturally under pressure because of our size.”
Jean and Valeria passed between the legs of the graveyard giants and began to closely examine their overall movements.
First of all, not all the graveyard giants were attacking Jin and Valeria. One graveyard giant stood still and stared at the ground, while another was digging.
If it is not broken, there is only one reason to sell the ground.
“You’re trying to find something.”
“The graveyard giants exploring the underground have more elaborate forms than the other giants. Jin If my prediction is correct. This is an ancient method of breaking the seal. They are trying to find the core of the seal buried somewhere here.”
“After finding the nucleus?”
“The power of all the graveyard giants will be connected to the core and the seal will be released. In the first place, the reason why the sword flew for such a long time must have been the process of finding where the nucleus was hidden.”
“If so, it means that the sealed beings won’t wake up the moment we destroy them all.”
Valeria nodded.
“The choice is yours.”
What awakens from the seal is the old Runcandel, which is presumed to be a god or a divine being.
There is no guarantee that whoever he is will show favor to the two of you. Rather, it was much more likely to come out hostile.
Or, there was a possibility that they were more than just hostile and united in resentment and hatred like the Padler.
“Let’s wake up.”
But Jin didn’t even worry.
If you destroy all the graveyard giants right away, you and your party will be safe, but a piece of the old Runcandel history will be lost forever.
From then on, the two switched their stance to a defensive one. The graveyard giants continued to attack, but when the two did not fight back, they gradually reduced their intensity.
After about ten minutes, the graveyard giants did not appear to attack the two anymore. However, the attack towards the sky did not stop.
“The grave giants are not attacking the lord and Arya. It must be the result of the master finding a clue. I think we can just keep dodging and blocking it!”
Thanks to this, the sky became even more chaotic, but it didn’t affect his colleagues much.
In the first place, the Bamal Alliance did not fight back even once after the grave giants woke up.
On the other hand, Ziffle and Kingelo’s Garden of Swords fought back all the time, so the cemetery giants didn’t even recognize the Quikantel group as enemies from some point on. Even so, the only reason why he sweated to avoid the red beam was because his teammates were overlapping the path of attacking the recognized enemies.
“I almost did a great disservice to my ancestors who wake up in a thousand years.”
After about 10 minutes passed, a graveyard giant showed a vibrating figure with his eyes flashing. Coincidentally, it was the graveyard giant right in front of Jin and Valeria.
“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
As the graveyard giant let out a scream, the other giants shuddered with their eyes shining, which seemed to be the process of injecting power into the core of the seal.
The Grave Giant, who roared first, finally raised his hands from the bottom of the sea.
In her hand was an orb that shone like a small sun, and Jin and Valeria could watch as the power of the graveyard giants was concentrated there.
“Please pray that what we can handle will wake up.”
