Chapter 466: The Demise of Giant Civilization
It's not like Amber Xiu has never fought against powerful creatures.
He had even defeated the giant dragon, but it felt like that.
But the three giants in front of him gave Amber Xiu a completely different feeling. Even though they are not as big as a giant dragon, they give Amber Xiu a sense of threat that far exceeds that of a giant dragon.
The premonitions of prophecy mages are often very accurate.
At the moment of the battle, Arthur Lane was swept across by a giant sword, and his whole body flew more than ten meters away.
Although he immediately stabilized his body and started fighting with the giant again.
That's Arthur Lane!
As for the other two giants, they were not polite. The one wielding the hammer focused on Ariel, and seemed to want to compete with her to see whose hammer was more powerful.
In the end, only one man with an ax was left and rushed towards Amber Xiu.
The giant ax was thrown out, bringing with it violent thunder and howling wind, as well as a heaven-destroying momentum.
Amberxiu stopped in place as if he was frightened, but when the ax cut through his body, it only hit a phantom like mist.
At this moment, he performed the Hazy Technique, the Clone Technique and the Lost Tracking Step.
Thanks to the elf queen's gift, the legendary ranger's power not only made his archery more accurate, but also enhanced Amberxiu's spellcasting speed.
The giant ax left a deep mark on the ground and was embedded in the ground. Then it was pulled out again by the charging giant and continued to charge towards Amber Xiu.
Amberxiu was now very lucky that the ax giant hadn't learned Gareth's chain knife move. Otherwise, he could pick up the weapon again and throw it at him as soon as he pulled it out. Then Amberxiu would really have to run for his life.
Mizongbu was used again. Amberxiu had already arrived behind the ax giant. These small spells were not worth mentioning to Amberxiu now. Then he raised his hand and cast two acceleration spells, which fell on Arthur... On Ryan and Ariel.
The formation of the War Mage Priest seemed to be forcibly broken up by these three giants, but Amber Xiu still played his role as a mage.
This is the ease of a seasoned adventurer.
The three-person team of War Mage and Priest does not mean that the warrior stands in front and takes damage, while the mage and priest stand behind and cast spells safely.
In previous adventures, there would never be any warriors who could protect the mage airtight. Whether it's a hidden arrow or a charge, all kinds of accidents will interrupt the original formation.
At this time, you, a mage, are really waiting for someone to save you? Isn't that waiting to die?
Therefore, any mage who has been around for a few years will know what to do in a chaotic battlefield. As long as you are not a mage with the evocation system who can avoid injuries to allies, you must mainly provide support.
The Lost Tracks were running around all over the place, throwing out auxiliary spells one by one.
Acceleration spells can bless teammates, and a series of control spells such as blindness, charm, and petrification can be thrown first to see the effect.
As a result, Amber Xiu was embarrassed to find that the resistance of these giants seemed to be very high, and all these control spells were ineffective.
Upon closer inspection, Amberxiu discovered that these giants were not normal creatures at all.
Their bodies seemed to be similar to the material used to make arches. They were pitted but extremely hard, and Arthur Lane's sword could not cause any damage even if they were struck on them. Ariel's lightning has no effect at all. These giants can move freely in the thunder, regardless of whether there is lightning wrapped around her hammer.
But the speed was good. The ax giant couldn't keep up with Amberxiu's multiple flashes, so he simply gave up on Amberxiu and rushed towards Ariel, wanting to deal with the weakest-looking woman first.
"Big guy, high resistance, strong strength...may not have no weaknesses!"
Amberxiu calmly threw a spell in the direction of the ax giant's charge - Grease!
A large piece of yellow grease exploded, covering the ground more than ten meters in diameter.
As soon as the ax giant stepped on it, his body slipped uncontrollably and fell to the ground. The ground was shaken, and the ax in his hand was accidentally thrown out.
No matter how strong the magic resistance is, it's useless. The Greasy spell has no magic resistance. If you can't stand firm, you will definitely fall into the street.
To be on the safe side, Amberxiu threw two dice of destiny to ensure that the giant would definitely fall to the ground.
And his ax that was thrown away fell right in front of Amber Xiu.
Without even thinking about it, Amber Xiu used the Feather Falling Technique and the Master's hands to directly stuff the huge ax into his private space.
Without weapons, the threat of this giant is directly reduced by half.
The ax giant struggled to get up, but his body was too big, and his movements were clumsy. He couldn't get up after crawling in a pile of grease for a long time.
Amber Xiu chuckled, and it was indeed true. Being big was not only a weakness in body, but also a weakness in balance.
Just as he was about to let the other giants fall to the ground, there was a flash of holy light on Arthur Lane's side, and the bright light made Amberxiu feel tingling all over his body.
When the light dissipated, the giant wielding the giant sword had fallen to the ground.
There was a deep mark on the sword giant's head. To a human, the injury would have split the head in half, but to the giant, it probably only split the scalp.
But this sword giant was lying on the ground twitching, as if he had been seriously injured.
Arthur Lane said loudly: "They are undead! Very special undead, but my holy light can still restrain them!"
It is indeed special enough. The undead who have eaten Arthur Lane's Holy Light Sword are not completely dead. How terrifying is that?
Seeing Arthur Lane about to make a last hit, Amber Xiu also shouted: "Arthur, go help Ariel, let me handle the undead!"
Although Arthur Lane was confused, he would never waste time arguing with his teammates. He reached Ariel's side in a flash of sword light, and the two worked together to deal with the last hammer giant. Amberxiu flashed directly to the twitching giant and slapped his hand on the open wound.
When Amber Xiu pulled out his palm, a ball of translucent silk thread was also pulled out.
This is the soul of the giant and the heroic spirit of this arena.
Amberxiu understood the structure the moment he came into contact with this heroic spirit. This was not a simple soul, but a collection of countless souls who died bravely in battle.
All warriors who die in the gladiatorial arena will continue to exist in this way. They are composed of courage and anger, leaving only memories related to the battle. They are powerful because they are pure.
But no matter how powerful the heroic spirit is, it is still a soul after all. When the giant itself cannot resist, Amber Xiu stripped the heroic spirit to pieces with one grab, completely destroying the giant's mobility.
"nice one!"
What Amber Xiu wants is the heroic soul, so although he moves quickly, he is very careful when dismantling the soul to ensure that it can be perfectly restored to its original appearance.
After having his soul extracted, this powerful giant could no longer move.
The battle has come to an end here, and the giant's weakness has been found, so there is no difficulty for the trio of French and animal husbandry.
Whether it is Arthur Lane or Amber Hew, it is impossible for the two of them to capsize in the gutter.
So the battle ended quickly. The Hammer Giant was chopped to the ground by Arthur Lane's holy light, and Amberxiu flashed and took out his soul. After the two giants were dealt with, the last giant barely struggled out of the grease spell.
It's not his fault for reacting slowly, it's because Arthur Lane and Amber Xiu are too fast. The cooperation between the paladin and the lich is flawless, which has to be said to be a miracle.
The remaining giant didn't even have any weapons, so it naturally didn't pose any threat. It didn't take a few seconds for the three of them to take it down.
All three giants had their souls taken out, and their bodies were taken into a private space by Amber Xiu. It can be said to be a great victory.
But Amberxiu felt a little scared when he thought about it now. If Arthur's holy light hadn't been able to restrain the undead, he and Ariel really wouldn't have been able to cause any harm to these giants.
If Amber Xiu dares to reach out and take out his soul, the giant will slap his body to pieces.
Amberxiu sighed with emotion: "I finally understand how this race offended Talos."
Ariel was blaming herself for her performance just now. When she heard Amber Xiu say this, she couldn't help but become curious: "Ultraman Master, what do you mean by this?"
"I said I probably guessed why this giant civilization died. Every time they participate in a trial, a large number of heroes will die in the arena, and their souls will continue to strengthen the souls of these puppets, and their corpses will be absorbed , strengthen the bodies of these puppets.
"The natural result is that the more times there are gladiatorial battles, the stronger the monsters tested, and the more powerful the heroes, the more heroes die. Until one day, this giant civilization discovered that even the strongest people in the race could not defeat these monsters together, so the gladiatorial battles No one can pass the test anymore..."
Amber corrected as he spoke, and Talos's projection appeared in front of everyone again.
The huge light and shadow overlooked the three people, and the eyes alone were bigger than the three giants combined.
Talos's majestic voice fell from the sky.
"Yes, you guessed it right. They all died in the arena because they didn't have as many tricks as you. And that's why I like them and not you so much."
Amberxiu was not surprised. When the battle started, his bracelet stopped lighting up.
How could Talos miss this battle, so it's not surprising at all that Talos shows up now.
Talos said with nostalgia: "Keep fighting, keep getting stronger, and have unified the world, so I use my own flesh and soul to create stronger enemies. Never indulge in enjoyment, and always enjoy fighting passionately. This is who I am." My favorite elect. Although they eventually created puppets that they could not defeat, I appreciated their efforts, so the living giants were brought to the Kingdom of God by me, where they will enjoy eternal life!
"But it's such a pity that the creatures behind don't have this will at all."
Amberxiu thought to himself, isn't this a pure fighting mania? For the sake of the gods, generations of heroes died for no reason, and became a shackles for future generations. Even if you can get eternal life, what's the point of this kind of eternal life as the Kingdom of Talos is notoriously desolate?
Ambrose couldn't understand this idea, but Talos's confession solved many of Ambrose's doubts.
The giant family once ruled the world, and the current golden desert may be where they live, so they have a lot of gold, because the wealth of the world belongs to them.
But gold is just something they use for sacrifice and decoration. The giants are not addicted to enjoyment, but to fighting.
Under Talos' instruction, they built the Storm Arena and began **** battles that lasted for many years.
Amberxiu estimated that most of the giants were warriors. They didn't do anything fancy, they just picked up their axes and chopped each other in the most primitive way. So when your opponent is stronger than you, physically stronger than you, and has better fighting skills than you, then the hero participating in the gladiatorial battle will never win.
In Amber's view, this is a vicious cycle, but in the view of the giants, this is the goal of life.
In the end, I don't know how many people died before the whole family got the chance to enter the Kingdom of God.
No wonder those underground cities are deserted, not a single body can be found, only a large amount of gold is left. Because they are not dead at all, nor are they migrating, but are collectively promoted to the Kingdom of God, the gold has no meaning to them, so there is no need to take it away at all.
Everything was perfect, and Amberxiu did not expect that this glorious civilization would disappear due to self-destruction.
But this is not important anymore. Amberxiu said to Talos: "So, great Lord of Storms, I wonder what reward I can get this time?"
Talos smiled and said: "You stole all the heroic spirits left in the arena, and you still ask me for a reward?"
"The spoils of war are sacrosanct. Isn't this your doctrine, Lord of the Storm?" Amber was about to bargain with Talos, but suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by what you just said? Are these three heroic spirits the only ones left in the entire arena?"
