This is extremely strange... The liquid-like substance in the lake should also be considered a kind of monster.
However, it only guards its inner territory, and even when attacked by a barrage of lightning as fierce as before, it does not retaliate against the attackers.
Moreover, its ability to protect against magic is extremely powerful, even stronger than the magical defense shield cast by a high-level mage.
Keller stopped to rest, no longer wanting to attack recklessly, as that would only waste his magic power. So he sat down on the ground and calmed down to consider a better strategy.
From the moment he saw that strange boulder in the heart of the land, Kaireser felt that it resembled something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
Rounded...alive...pulsating...pulsating...beating...
The fact that it is heavily guarded outside perhaps indicates that this rock is very fragile... This boulder possesses life, and is very fragile...
The ground began to shake unexpectedly. Keller, who was deep in thought, felt his heart stop for a moment and was startled.
"You scared me to death..." Keller used his palm to calm his heart, which was pounding wildly with surprise.
A throbbing sensation traveled from his chest to his palms.
Seemingly startled, his mind suddenly cleared;
Or perhaps a casual action just now sparked his inspiration.
At this moment, he seemed to have made an amazing discovery.
"Could it be... that strange, pulsating boulder is the island's 'heart'? And from that perspective... is the island itself the body of the prophesied 'Stone Giant'?"
As he realized this, the ground shook again, this time with a seemingly high magnitude earthquake that made it difficult for Kareser to maintain his balance. He forcefully plunged his greatsword into the ground, using it for support to prevent himself from slipping.
The ground tilted until it stood upright on the island's surface!
As the ground suddenly became vertical, the greatsword slid through the crack, and Kareser fell into the sea with it.
At this moment, the holy sword shone again, and he was protected by it, floating to the distant sea. After spitting out several mouthfuls of seawater, he discovered an astonishing spectacle.
The island is no longer an isolated island; it has transformed into a living stone giant. The boulders on the island, combined with the island itself, form the shape of a human.
The roar ripped through the sky, and even a torrential downpour began. The waves surged, just like the storms we had experienced earlier while on the boat.
Although Keller was a general with rich combat experience, this was the first time he had ever seen such a huge monster, even larger than the legendary dragon.
How will Kelese deal with such a huge monster?
A wave crashed over him from behind, blinding him. His body was carried further away by the violently swaying waves, but he was unharmed thanks to the protection of the Holy Sword.
From a greater distance, the stone giant, its upper body emerging from the sea, wildly swung its arms and roared, as if summoning wind and rain to ravage the ocean.
It is virtually impossible to fight it head-on; even sending an entire army would not guarantee victory.
Kareem pondered how to attack his weakness.
Based on previous experience, there's no doubt that the giant's weakness lies in its heart. However, a powerful magical shield protects it well. How can it be destroyed?
Kaiser had an idea. According to the principle of "defense effectiveness balance" in magic, when the magical defense of a magical substance is extremely high, its physical defense will inevitably be extremely weak.
In other words, if Kerèse could get close to the giant's heart, he could simply use his greatsword to cut through the magical shield.
But this is very difficult to do. The giants are so large that it is difficult to get close to them;
Secondly, even if they were to get close, they wouldn't know how to climb onto the giant's "chest".
The target is already visible from a distance.
The dark patch in the giant's chest was the very dense forest where Kareser had just been. Although his direction of vision and his location had changed, he could still make out the exact spot.
"Throw me out."
In a daze, Kareser heard a voice urgently pleading with him for victory. At that moment, the Holy Sword Belgard responded to the general's desire for victory, shining brightly with a magical silver light.
"How...how do you expect me to throw you out?"
Keller thought to himself that even if he had great strength, it would be impossible to throw a greatsword and hit the target accurately.
The emblem on the holy sword glowed, responding to its master: "Drive your will, and transform the holy sword into whatever form you desire!"
Kerèse pondered carefully, trying to understand the meaning of the sacred object.
He asked himself what weapon he needed to destroy the giant's heart in one blow.
Long-range firing weapon, powerful and capable of killing with a single shot.
Kareser understood. "I... need a bow and an arrow!"
As the general's will ignited, the giant sword in his hand transformed into a phantom and merged into the light.
Blessed by the sea god and protected by the sacred weapon, Kareser stood on the sea, gazing at the raging stone giants in the distance.
The general held a huge, curved, azure bow in his left hand and a meter-long ethereal arrow made of lightning photons in his right.
The second form of the sacred weapon—the Neptune's Bow—absorbs the surrounding sacred elements to solidify and appears in the hands of Silverwing General Kaireiser.
Standing on the sea, the general assumed a drawing stance, his arm taut like a bowstring. He adjusted the angle of his shot, holding the divine bow in a unique posture. His eyes, sharp as an eagle's, were fixed on the target a hundred meters away.
