Chapter 20 The Lord of Suffering Comes to the Door
On the volcanic rock island, an arm several meters long, like a bronze arm, burst into the air with a sharp blast, passed through the diffuse smoke and dust, and swung forward.
“Boom!”
In an instant, a flat thunder exploded, shaking the entire island. The splashed gravel and dust shot up in all directions, like passing locusts, sweeping away everything around them.
However, a bright golden light stood tall amidst the storm and shock, forcibly restraining the fierce fist.
“Polyphemus…”
Standing behind the defensive technique, Lorne spoke quietly, his long silver hair dancing wildly in the turbulent airflow. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man in front of him with a ferocious and ugly face, blue and black complexion, and a height of more than ten meters. enemy.
Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon, the **** of the sea, and Tousa, the sea nymph, was a ferocious and violent Cyclops on Sicily who liked to eat people.
At the same time, he is also a neighbor of Ayo Island, and has crossed paths with Lorne and Circe several times.
But obviously, judging from the reaction of the Cyclops, it was definitely not a good encounter.
To be precise, he is the sufferer in the story.
—As a giant with an astonishing appetite, Polyphemus usually raised large sheep on the island of Sicily to save food, plus the abundant seafood on the Sea of Oceanus, and occasionally some mortal ships that strayed to his door as a tooth-beating sacrifice. side dishes.
Hence, life is still manageable.
However, a certain little mouse with human blood wandered to his island again and again, not only stealing the big sheep he had worked so hard to raise, but also taking advantage of the chaos to let the imprisoned mortals escape, making him live a miserable life. A miserable life of three days of hunger and nine meals.
For this reason, the Cyclops was ridiculed for a long time by his peers in Sicily.
Although he later learned the origin of this little bastard, Polyphemus was helpless.
On the one hand, there is a powerful magic barrier on Ayu Island that is difficult to locate; on the other hand, the witch who manages the island is a demigod who is not easy to mess with, and is inextricably linked to an ancient goddess. connect.
So, the unlucky Cyclops could only break his teeth and swallow it.
But unexpectedly, in order to fill his stomach today, he went out to hunt sea beasts. Not only did he accidentally discover a new island nearby, but he also met an enemy on it that he hated so much that he gritted his teeth.
At this moment, the enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Polyphemus grinned ferociously, grinning sinisterly.
“Haha, little mouse, you finally got out of the hole. This time you don't have the bird-winged woman to protect you. Let's see where you go!”
The harsh sound like sandpaper rubbing glass poured into the ear canal, causing Lorne, who had just been promoted to a demigod and could not fully control his keen senses, to frown deeply, and his brain was spinning rapidly during the confrontation.
Polyphemus…demigod…son of Poseidon…
It seems that the cheating dice has automatically selected the mission target for him.
This is the third option in the oracle, killing a demigod descendant of Poseidon, the sea god.
It is said to be random, but I guess this giant happens to be wandering nearby, which perfectly meets the conditions of being taken advantage of.
Of course, this person who was taken advantage of may also include Lorne himself.
Okay, okay, Hecate, are you playing with me like this?
When I get the chance, I will strip you naked and give you a hundred lashes, a hundred lashes!
Seeing that his old enemy Polyphemus could no longer hold himself back and launched a new round of attacks with great momentum, and that he could not avoid it, Lorne swore maliciously in his heart, while retreating quickly, pulling away and using his right hand. The index finger quickly drew in mid-air, outlining lines of Hermes text.
“The precepts of the soil are added to my body, and those who are heavy-minded in the world will listen to my appeal—rock spear, rise!”
Accompanied by the chanting of high-speed divine words, dozens of Hermes words in mid-air constructed a yellow-brown magic foundation and blended into the earth.
At the same time, rock spears several meters long rose up from the ground on this volcanic rock island, forming a jungle of sharp thorns, which was daunting.
But the charging Polyphemus only flexed his muscles and waved his arms left and right, destroying the rock spears along the way.
Similarly, the spikes from the ground were unable to pierce the Cyclops's bronze-cast skin and muscles, leaving only a shallow blood mark on them.
As expected, giants who are good at defense and brute strength are not so easy to deal with. Especially, the opponent is a demigod who has advanced for a long time...
Seeing this situation, Lorne couldn't help but feel his heart sink. He avoided the frontal punch and nimbly stepped back again, trying to maintain a safer casting distance and slowly looking for Polyphemus's weakness.
However, the Cyclops, who is good at fighting, obviously will not give him this opportunity easily.
“Where are you going to run away? Little mouse!”
Polyphemus grinned ferociously and grabbed several rock spears nearby, throwing them at Lorne.
The sharp sound of breaking through the air came instantly. The astonishing speed and the astonishing destructive power attached to it made Lorn's scalp numb. He subconsciously jumped up, trying to avoid the sharp edge.
But as soon as he made a move, several rock spears flew towards his next landing point without warning, sealing off the space around him.
Damn it!
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Lorne cursed secretly, raised his hands in a hurry, and used all his strength to use the defensive technique.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The rock guns, like falling meteorites, hit the golden-red magic barrier one after another, causing deafening roars.
The surrounding clouds were torn apart by the violent impact. The Hermes that built the magic barrier were shattered and extinguished one after another, and the crystal cracks spread.
"boom!"
In the blink of an eye, the defensive spell in front was completely shattered, and the chaotic tide of magic swept in all directions.
“Poof!”
Suffering the backlash, Lorne's face turned pale, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, flying upside down and falling into the sea.
What a fool!
Polyphemus spat on the ground, and a smug grin appeared on his ugly, hairy face.
There is a huge difference in the difficulty of shepherding one sheep and that of a flock of sheep.
Those energetic sheep always move around while eating. If you are not careful, they will stay away from the sight of the shepherd.
In order to control these unfaithful sheep with the minimum effort and consumption, Polyphemus would often throw stones and other objects to drive away and intimidate the sheep that ran away, making them turn back obediently. Staying in the pasture honestly, waiting for the day to be slaughtered.
Over time, he gradually mastered a throwing technique that was almost perfect.
However, because there are few rivals in the nearby sea, this craft is little known.
Unexpectedly, that **** little mouse, just like the big sheep he once played with, tasted the pain of humiliation.
And next, he will use other methods to deal with those stupid sheep to entertain this stinky rat.
So, eat it directly? Or grill them on skewers?
Thinking of what it would be like to be a human being, the Cyclops swallowed his saliva, picked up half of the rock gun, and strode toward Lorne's fall point with a grin.
However, before he could take a few steps, there was a strange cracking sound coming from the volcanic rock island under his feet.
“Click—!”
In an instant, spider web-like cracks spread all over the island, and large amounts of seawater turned into torrents and spewed out of the cracks, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.
In an instant, the entire island was shattered into pieces, and the cracked rock masses collapsed one after another, carrying the unstable Cyclops with them and falling into the boundless sea.
“Buzz!”
At the same time, the violent magic tide surged under the sea surface, pulling thousands of tons of seawater into blue snakes and pythons, biting the falling Polyphemus.
