Chapter 669 - 434 Defeating the Gold Rank Giant_2
Chapter 669: Chapter 434: Defeating the Gold Rank Giant_2 Chapter 669 -434: Defeating the Gold Rank Giant_2 Ricardo instantly thought of turning back to rescue, but he immediately stopped his action.
The most important thing now was to move forward and break out before the Earth Element Giants had completely surrounded them, and as the team leader, he absolutely could not go back.
Doing so would only lead the team into an irreversible abyss.
He could only hope that the others could dodge the attack of this Gold-level Giant.
If not, then he could only force Alvis to take action.
However, the riot of the Earth Element Giants in Caspar Valley made Ricardo somewhat uneasy, he still hoped that Alvis could remain hidden until the end to deal with a greater crisis.
The dark turquoise Giant appeared quickly, under its control, the mud and rocks seemed to be its helpers, aiding it to surface faster.
Boom!
The dark turquoise Giant swung its huge fists down onto the ground, seemingly wanting to squash these insects that disturbed its slumber.
The team was in disarray, the elves could no longer maintain their tight formation, and scattered in all directions to avoid the Giant’s attack.
The Gold-level elves were at the forefront of the team, breaking open the path forward.
The other Gold-level professionals were also dealing with the Gold-level Giants among the group of giants, so at the rear of the elf team, there was not a single Gold-level elf present.
Just when the team was about to fall into chaos and become disjointed from the front, a figure flashed, forcefully bumping the dark turquoise Giant aside.
The recently surfaced dark turquoise Giant hadn’t stabilized and fell backward onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The direction in which the Giant fell luckily avoided the elf team and also prevented the dark turquoise Giant from continuing to block the elves’ advance.
As the dust settled, Lis stood with a black Shield in hand, in front of the chest of the dark turquoise Giant, loudly saying,
“You guys go first, I’ll catch up quickly!”
Seeing this, the other elves, as if reassured, no longer panicked and resisted the other giants while hurriedly catching up with the direction of the team’s advance.
“Lis, be careful!”
Cecil shouted worriedly to Lis, then continued to move forward with the other elves.
Lis was in the team specifically to protect Cecil, the other elves knew this, so naturally, they wouldn’t allow Cecil to come to any harm under these circumstances.
Lis no longer cared about the situation of the elf team, or rather, although the arrival of this Gold-level Giant was somewhat unexpected, it suited him to take action.
After all, as there were no traces of black light in the bodies of the other Earth Element Giants, could there be something different inside the stronger Gold-level Giant?
Lis, with a flickering gaze, looked down at the dark turquoise Giant under his feet, ready to make his move.
He held the Shield in his left hand and once again drew his Longsword with his right, slashing fiercely.
Stone chips flew, and Lis’s Longsword left a several tens of centimeters deep notch in the front of the dark turquoise Giant.
“Tch, really tough!”
Lis was a bit troubled, although the wound seemed deep, it was nothing compared to the Giant’s over ten meters of height.
Moreover, the body of an Earth Element Giant was basically unimportant, more akin to their outer shell; a bit of damage at most only affected their movement.
Only the Element Core was their real vulnerability; even if the body of an Earth Element Giant was completely destroyed, as long as the Element Core remained intact, it could accumulate power and regenerate a rocky body.
With that mysterious Elf Legend hiding in the shadows, Lis couldn’t possibly use any powerful Spells.
Without using the Extraordinary Domain, Lis still found it a bit troublesome to defeat this dark turquoise Giant with the Longsword in his hand.
“But it’s not without a way.”
Lis’s figure flashed, vanishing from the spot, dodging the hands swung by the Giant.
The Giant’s fists smashed fiercely into the front of its chest, but unfortunately missed Lis, and instead caused its rocky body to fracture even more.
The speed of Earth Element Giants was always their weak point; after their promotion to using rocks to form their bodies, this weakness became even more apparent.
In Lis’s eyes, the movements of the dark turquoise Giant seemed like slow motion, utterly unable to hit him.
Of course, if speed alone could defeat a Gold-level Earth Element Giant, that would be too easy.
The dark azure giant’s body flickered with a dull yellow light, with no apparent change, but Lis felt his body sink as if burdened with a heavy load.
Earth Element Magic [Gravity Field]!
This was a special spell that Earth Elemental Giants generally mastered, which they used to restrict enemies who got too close in combat.
Especially in the hands of a Gold-level dark azure giant, the dense earth elemental magic filled the air, causing even the dust to fall straight to the ground.
“Huff~”
Lis, feeling the sudden heaviness of his body, was unsurprised.
In his past life, he had often battled with Earth Elemental Giants, or to put it another way, as a top-level professional power trainer, he had fought almost all kinds of extraordinary demons.
He was naturally very familiar with this favored combat style of Earth Elemental Giants.
In his past life, he had many ways to get out of such predicaments, such as pulling away and waiting for the effect of the spell to pass, or standing behind the giant as much as possible to avoid front-facing combat.
However, Lis now had no intention of doing so.
With his current strength, the [Gravity Field] was not enough to affect him.
Lis stowed his shield and charged toward the dark azure giant, his speed hardly slower than before.
Having gained the Warrior Basic Specialization with double the strength attribute points, his body was robust, certainly not like the frail Elf Rangers who couldn’t withstand the sudden increase in load.
If Lis could acquire the Martial Monk Basic Specialization, perhaps the spell [Gravity Field] would have no effect on him at all.
The dark azure giant also stepped towards Lis with heavy strides, each step causing the ground to tremble, much like a moving hillock.
The giant disregarded Lis’s recent prowess; devoid of wisdom, they knew only to crush everything with their absolute strength.
Facing an enemy of such contrasting strength, Lis took a deep breath, the power surging within his body gathered in his longsword, the pale light of the sword gleaming as if it were about to tear through space.
This was the capability of a Gold-level Warrior, whose attacks were incredibly sharp, capable even of severing some spells.
Amongst which, the Sword Qi slashed by the Sword Saints was the most famous, and what Lis was doing now was much the same.
His form expanded, swift as a cheetah, dodging the right foot of the dark azure giant and instantly rushing towards the giant’s chest.
Using the rugged rocks on the giant’s body for a slight boost, Lis appeared in front of the giant’s chest.
His longsword pointed straight at the giant’s chest, the sword light like a dragon, fiercely slashing into the giant’s chest with a momentum to tear everything apart.
With a loud “boom”, rock fragments flew everywhere as Lis’s sword, fueled by his full strength, forcibly opened a large gash in the giant’s chest.
Feeling the aftershock from the sword in his hand, Lis easily dodged the dark azure giant’s swinging arms and the Rock Bombs forming in mid-air.
As an Arcanist, he keenly perceived the fluctuating magic power of the dark azure giant using spells, and knew he would never be hit by such superficial magic.
After all, the spells Earth Elemental Giants could use were notable for their sheer force; as long as one was prepared, aside from area-of-effect spells, their hit rate was quite poor.
After adjusting his position, Lis repeatedly slashed at the same spot.
“Haha!”
Lis laughed loudly, feeling his entire body exhilarate.
It’s no wonder, despite the Warrior being the most cumbersome profession, it’s still the most numerous among players.
Needless to say, the pure thrill of real combat is genuinely exhilarating!
Without stopping, Lis skillfully leveraged this force to spin in the air, swinging his sword again, the sword light weaving through the air, each strike precise, continuously breaking through the defenses at the dark azure giant’s chest.
Finally, after numerous slashes, Lis broke through the giant’s last defenses, revealing an Element Core the size of a human head.
Embedded in broken rocks and dirt, the Earth Element Core, which should have shimmered with a deep earth-like dull yellow light, flowed instead with a deep, sinister black in front of Lis.
He didn’t even need to get close; Lis could already sense an extreme aura of chaos and evil emanating unrestrainedly.
Shit!
It’s really the power of the Abyss!
How could this be? Could it be that Demogorgon is already making his move?
