Chapter 574: Giant Tribe
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Regarding the Giant Tribe, Merlin and Luce did not need Eldo’s introduction on them. They knew about the Giant Tribe very well. After all, the Giant Tribe was not considered a weak civilization. They were a relatively strong civilization that even the Spell Caster civilization needed to treat with caution.
That was because in the Giant Tribe, there was a terrible t.i.tan Giant, the strongest being in the Giant Tribe. It could even be comparable to an Ultimate Arcane Wizard.
Powerful beings on the level of an Arcane Wizard could be considered the top being in countless civilizations in the millions of dimensions in the Void Zone. Thus, once a being the level of an Arcane Wizard was born, that civilization would be called a powerful civilization. They would no longer be a weak civilization, and bullied by other civilizations.
Although the Giant Tribe only had one t.i.tan Giant, it was enough to rank them as a powerful civilization in the Void Zone!
The Giant Tribe was divided into Lesser Giants, Medium Giants, and Greater Giants. Obviously, the strength of a Giant could be easily seen at a glance, which was the Giant’s height.
The strongest Greater Giants were equivalent to topnotch Great Wizards, and were generally below one thousand meters tall. Giant Kings above Greater Giants were also separated into lower, middle, and upper ranks, corresponding to the Spell Casters’ ordinary Legends, Honored Legends, and Great Lords respectively. The strongest of these Giant Kings were also not more than ten thousand meters tall.
However, t.i.tan Giants were terrifying. They could reach hundreds of meters or even millions of meters tall. Currently, the t.i.tan Giant in the Giant Clan had already reached a fearsome six hundred thousand meters tall. A general dimension would not be able to hold it. Only some extremely huge dimensions would be able to hold a t.i.tan Giant.
Merlin was still very terrified of the Giant Tribe, especially the Greater Giants. As long as they grew above nine hundred meters, they could rival the best Great Wizards. Even if Merlin used Darkness Eye, it was only equivalent to a peak Great Wizard. It was difficult to say if he could deal with a topnotch Great Wizard.
However, now that the black cat Didimoss was awake, that was no longer a problem!
Soon, Eldo’s speed gradually slowed down, and his expression became solemn, and said, “Be careful, ahead is the territory of the Giant Tribe, the Giant Mountain… The Vortex Hole is also inside!”
Although the Giant Tribe was very powerful, and controlled the Vortex Hole, the truth was that the Giant Tribe was very small, with only just over five thousand Giants. Therefore, they all lived around the vast Giant Mountain.
Eldo hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “I know a relatively hidden route that should avoid most of the Giants in the Giant Mountain, directly to the Vortex Hole. However, it is rumored that all Greater Giants live near the Vortex Hole, and try to leave the Slothful Beast world through the Vortex Hole.”
Greater Giants were equivalent to Great Wizards. It was not surprising that Eldo was hesitating so much. If they had encountered a Greater Giant, the five of them might face the danger of destruction.
“If there’s a hidden route, please lead the way.”
Merlin also did not want to fight without even seeing the Vortex Hole. He at least wanted to see what the Vortex Hole was.
Eldo reminded them at this point only to find out that Merlin still remained indifferent, and insisted on entering the Vortex Hole. Therefore, Eldo could only helplessly say, “The secret route is very easy to remember but not all of us can go in. Three of us will wait outside for you two Wizards. If anything happens, we can act as a backup.”
Merlin knew that this was Eldo not willing to continue to take risks. It was already Eldo’s limit to bring Merlin and the others here. After all, it was likely they would have to face Greater Giants at the Vortex Hole. That was just too dangerous.
“Alright, you three just wait here. Wizard Luce and I will go in!”
Merlin did not say anything more after that, and flew directly into the hidden route Eldo pointed out along with Luce.
Seeing Merlin’s figure leaving, the two Mind Power Masters behind Eldo said with some worry, “Elder Eldo, are we just going to let those two go like that?”
“What else can we do? It’s good enough that this place isn’t far from the Vortex Hole. If we really were discovered by Greater Giants, with Merlin and Wizard Luce’s careless att.i.tudes, they won’t be reliable at all. Perhaps it might even be a great chance for them to escape. When the time comes, we’ll meet them here, and return to Spellcast City along with Merlin and Wizard Luce!”
Wizard Eldo murmured in a low voice.
“Hehe, Elder Eldo, if Merlin and Luce are both seriously injured, then we…”
Eldo did not speak. His eyes locked onto Merlin and Luce’s backs, his gaze somewhat profound.
…
“Boom!”
Two Giants a few hundred meters tall stood against each other in the Giant Mountain. Their immense bodies caused terrifying damage and noise, and even a small hill was almost completely leveled.
“Whoosh whoosh.”
Two figures quietly appeared near the two Giants, but the two Giants did not seem to notice the two Wizards.
“They’re five hundred meters tall Medium Giants… How powerful. A Medium Giant’s body really is formidable and terrifying. It’s not surprising that the Greater Giants, even in simple defense, can hold their own against Great Legends!”
The two Wizards were Luce and Merlin. They had gone deep into the Giant Mountain, following the hidden route provided by Eldo.
This Giant Mountain was also worthy of being the foundation of the Giant Tribe. Merlin and Luce saw many Giants along the way, but they were all Medium Giants below seven hundred meters tall, which posed no threat to Merlin and Luce. Fortunately, the Giants did not seem to have very keen senses, and they had not discovered Merlin and Luce.
“The Vortex Hole is in front, but I’ve felt a powerful danger in there. Maybe a nine-hundred-meter Greater Giant is deep inside the Giant Mountain where the Vortex Hole is located!”
Merlin’s expression also became grave. When a Giant grew to seven hundred meters, they could be called Greater Giants. However, once a Giant grew to nine hundred meters, then they were the most terrifying Greater Giants, comparable to topnotch Great Wizards.
Even Merlin felt that it was dangerous, which showed that there must be extremely powerful Giants deep inside the Giant Mountain.
“Haha, then are we supposed to back off here? Wizard Merlin, we need to go to the Vortex Hole. I certainly don’t want to stay in the Slothful Beast world for eternity.”
Wizard Luce looked at the black cat Didimoss on Merlin’s shoulder. As long as Didimoss was there, they would not be afraid even if they met Greater Giants.
Didimoss was why the two dared to go deep into the Giant Mountain in the first place!
“Rustle.”
Merlin and Luce shuffled through the woods, causing various noises.
“Phew…”
The two Wizards finally emerged through thick layers of trees, and their eyes instantly widened as they looked at the sky. There was indeed an extremely large gray vortex that seemed to darken the entire sky.
“The Vortex Hole. That’s the Vortex Hole!”
Merlin and Luce both looked at the Vortex Hole with fiery eyes. They even tried to extend their Mind Power into the Vortex Hole but as soon as their Mind Power entered the Vortex Hole, it was instantly crushed by a terrifying force.
Merlin paled. “What a terrible strangling force. I’m afraid even Legends won’t be able to withstand it!”
Merlin had met many Great Legends, so he naturally knew how strong a regular Legend’s Maxim was. The strangulation force of the Vortex Hole seemed to be even stronger than a Great Legend’s Maxim. Anything that went inside would be crushed instantly.
Merlin now believed that even the leader of the Giant Tribe, who could resist a bombardment from Great Legends, could not pa.s.s through the Vortex Hole.
“Let’s take a closer look.”
Merlin could not help but continuously approach the Vortex Hole.
“Boom.”
Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken. A feeling of extreme danger rooted in Merlin’s heart. When he looked up, he saw that it was not the sky getting dark, but a gigantic palm that was covering the sky.
A Giant. It was a Greater Giant over nine hundred meters!
“Have we been discovered? Darkness Eye, summon Demon Spirit!”
Merlin also did not expect that the Giant would act directly. That Giant lay in a surging river, and even Merlin had not noticed it.
He also did not know when that Giant had detected him. The Giant did not get up and simply slapped his hand down as if swatting at mosquitoes.
“Hum.”
Darkness Eye in Merlin’s palm glowed a crimson light, which was accompanied by a dark curtain that rose to the sky. From the darkness, an equally large Demon Spirit was formed.
“Boom.”
Two giant hands. .h.i.t each other, and the entire Giant Mountain trembled. The Darkness Demon Spirit’s large hand was directly crushed by the powerful force. Even the Demon Spirit’s body could not handle it anymore, and was completely shattered.
It was just one attack but the Darkness Demon Spirit could not even resist it!
“A Greater Giant. It must be a Greater Giant over nine hundred meters tall!”
Merlin’s heart trembled. He had always wanted to compete with a topnotch Great Wizard to see if the sixth form of Darkness Eye was comparable to them.
However, compared to the pure power of that nine hundred meters tall Greater Giant, the Darkness Demon Spirit was smashed into pieces. Although it had also diffused that Giant’s attack, it could not be denied that there was still some distance between the sixth form of Merlin’s Darkness Eye and peak Great Wizards, Demonic Wizards, and topnotch Great Wizards.
“Splash.”
From the surging river, an enormous Giant stood up just like a mountain, making people feel terrifying and suffocating pressure.
“Spell Casters? You really are Spell Casters! Looks like you’ve just arrived from the outer world into the Slothful Beast world… The Spell Caster civilization is powerful, but our Giant civilization is no less impressive. You shouldn’t provoke the Giants out of your own initiative nor should you approach the Vortex Hole. That’s because it belongs to the Giant Tribe!”
The Giant’s voice roared like thunder, causing Merlin and Luce’s ears to buzz.
