Chapter 672 "Disaster Giant"
"Oh."
Angel heard the provocative laughter of the "Iron-Blooded Knight" in his ears, and the pile of armor and Syrio in front of him disappeared at the same time, as silently as the scene in the mirror being erased.
No wonder he was not in a hurry and even had time to chat with me. It turned out that he had something to help him leave here... Angel's eyes fixed, and he was about to enter the "mirror world" simultaneously, trying to see if he could keep up with the other party and leave this strange wilderness, but he felt his eyes brighten. Syrio and the ten armored soldiers, whose joints were either broken or covered with rust, reappeared in the wilderness surrounded by magnificent cities, materialized natural disasters and endless darkness.
His confident escape route seemed to have failed?
Furious, Syrio got up from the ground, glanced at the figure of the "Disaster Giant" in the distance, a look of pain on his face, and then turned to Angel with an expression of anger and confusion. The silver mirror in his hand kept shaking and was almost crushed by him.
After looking into the puzzled eyes of the "Iron-Blooded Knight" for a moment, Angel suddenly remembered something. He stretched out his hand and took out a small, quaint silver mirror from his pocket and shook it at Syrio.
Its size and shape are exactly the same as the silver mirror that almost took away Syrio's entire team, but the surface is more mottled and does not belong to the same era.
"It seems like there was something wrong with your escape method?"
Angel asked, imitating the other party's mocking tone, which made Syrio's face turn almost as red as the hair of his ancestors of Sauron. His cheeks twitched twice, and with the corners of his mouth lowered, he squeezed out a word:
"So the problem lies with you. No wonder the trap we set didn't work. No wonder I can't leave here through Trier's mirror world in the Fourth Epoch..."
No, I think the problem with your trap is not this silver mirror, but some special feature of mine... Angel complained in his heart and put away the special silver mirror that fell into the hands of the Church of Night more than half a year ago and was handed over to him by Archbishop Anthony.
It seems that as long as this mirror is still in her hands, Syrio will not be able to escape easily.
The latter also thought of the same problem. He grinned, stretched out his hand and waved it. The five armored soldiers behind him who were not "killed" by the power shared by the "disaster" but disintegrated under the gaze of an angel slowly stood up. The wrist armor and leg armor, which were empty inside and looked like shrimp shells with the meat removed, returned to their original positions. Knives, guns and other weapons of different shapes were raised and pointed forward.
He himself increased the degree of "metallization", giving his skin a distinct silvery-white sheen, and letting his orange-red hair drift like a wisp of weeds on his metal forehead. At the same time, he summoned a long spear of incandescent flame, kicked up with both legs, and rushed towards Angel. Then, he spoke with a metallic tremor:
"Kill you, destroy the mirror, and I can leave."
What a coincidence, I thought so too... Angel chuckled, and pointed the "Wing of Death" feather in his hand. The majestic power of death swept across the wilderness. The armored soldiers, who were essentially still dead, suddenly stumbled and their fighting spirit stagnated. The "Iron-Blooded Knight" who led the charge instantly became a commander without troops.
Syrio seemed to have anticipated this, and an aura of conquering everything emanated from him. His "connection" with the soldiers was strengthened again, and the flaming spear in his hand turned light blue, and a high-temperature airflow gushed out.
He was going to use that enhanced "spear" again, but luckily I had a way to deal with it... Angel's left hand, which was wearing the "Parasite" glove, subconsciously clenched, and bright yellow flames appeared all over her body. This was not "Flame Leap", but the "Flame Transformation" she stole!
This controlled flame did not burn Angel's clothes and put her in an awkward situation. Instead, it flowed on the surface of her skin in a protective posture, making her body slightly larger. Her eyes also clearly locked onto Syrio and the weakness attack he was about to launch, which concentrated the strength of the entire team.
Just when the flaming spear was about to be thrown at the flaming Angel, a terrifying and crazy roar suddenly came from afar. This voice, which was condensed with divinity, seemed to be able to travel through space and swept across the position of the two people at a speed much faster than normal. The flames on Angel's body were like candles in a hurricane, and they were all extinguished in an instant. The whole person recovered from the "flame" state, his body trembling in the roar, and his head tilted back, as if he had been punched in the face.
The same situation happened to Syrio. He concentrated the strength of the entire team and aimed at the enemy's weakness. The flaming spear that was about to be thrown disappeared in his hand with a puff, making his figure rushing forward alone look a little funny.
But neither of them cared about this and instead looked towards the source of the roar.
That's where the weather is chaotic, surrounded by flames and lightning in the distance, that's where the "Conqueror" giant is!
“…”
Another roar pierced the eardrums, blew out the flames, and hit the spirit directly. Compared with it, the previous roar that extinguished the flames on Angel's body and interrupted her "flame transformation" process was as weak as a baby's cry.
Even though the roar was a thousand meters away, it made the eyes of the two demigods, who were standing at the edge of the wilderness with the light black stone road and endless darkness behind them, turn red. It seemed as if countless violent thoughts were surging in their hearts, wanting to destroy everything around them.
Without caring about attacking Syrio who was close at hand and also on the verge of madness, Angel quickly reached out to touch the secret holy emblem on her wrist, but when she tightly grasped the cold holy emblem in her palm, she felt a warm touch on her palm.
That was before, at 13 Market Avenue, when she chanted the honorific name of Anne Gustaf and obtained the power transmitted by her with the help of the contract to activate the Sword, Shield and Balance Emblem. The latter helped her temporarily suppress the silver mirror of iron and blood, and now it exhausted the last bit of its strength to resist the roar of the "Disaster Giant" for her.
Thank you, Anne…
Angel sighed in her heart, and with the help of the power of "Order", she stabilized her own spirituality and broke free from the control of the out-of-control "Conqueror" giant a thousand meters away. However, the figure of the giant in the distance still made her eyes sting, as if she was looking directly at the sun.
Angel quickly retracted his gaze and turned to look at Syrio Soren beside him.
This "Iron-Blooded Knight" who was born in a branch of Sauron's family but was completely replaced by the "Man in the Mirror" now has his eyes wide open and cracked at the corners of his eyes. He has recovered from "metallization" to normal appearance. Veins continue to emerge on his forehead, face, and back of his hands. Flames are surging inside, and it seems that they will erupt at any time, turning him into a "giant" covered in flames and surrounded by mist.
I should have been in a similar state just now... Angel was about to take the opportunity to kill the "man in the mirror" who was losing control, but he found a bloody light coming out of Syrio's chest exposed between the front of his windbreaker.
The light emitted from the silver mirror in the shape of open eyes seemed to have a life of its own. It automatically chose a direction and shot out into the distance. Its destination was a giant that was looming in the thick smoke and dark clouds a thousand meters away.
Before the latter's huge body could react, the red light shot into the lightning, rainstorm and hail, causing the manifestation of various natural disasters to rapidly expand their scope and completely obscure the giant's figure.
With this, Syrio also got rid of the side effects of the roar, and the strangeness on his face quickly recovered. As soon as he exhaled, he rolled on the spot and avoided an ice spike flying towards his head.
Tsk… Angel wasn't surprised that Syrio had recovered from his loss of control just like she had. The silver mirror he'd used to ambush the angel clearly bore a mark no less powerful than the one Anne Gustav had bestowed upon her. After leading him into Trier in the Fourth Epoch, he'd still had the energy to rescue Syrio and even had a minor impact on the out-of-control "Conqueror" of the Sauron family…
Subconsciously glancing at the distant wilderness shrouded in dark clouds and thundering lightning, Angel was surprised to find that the "Disaster Giant" had walked out of the spreading natural disaster very slowly. It walked towards this side in a "walking" posture with its body pressed forward and its legs alternately bent and stretched. Thick smoke shrouded its side, and thunder and lightning, and heavy rain appeared alternately wherever it passed, like a human-shaped "natural disaster".
Most importantly, its pace is too fast for humans!
Angel made a quick estimate and found that in less than half a minute, the figure that was dozens of meters tall would be next to him.
At that time, I'm afraid that only Anne would have to come in person to have any hope of saving her.
Without hesitation, Angel dodged Syrio Soren who had just crawled out of the ground and ran away from the giant. She instinctively felt a sense of danger and did not dare to approach the city that symbolized the "Fourth Epoch Trier" with its black and red colors and a collapsed castle in the center. She had no choice but to move towards the light black stone pavement, getting closer to the area shrouded in darkness.
After waking up, Syrio made the same choice just one second later. He carefully put the silver mirror, which had several cracks and had lost all its internal power, into his windbreaker bag, and took a step forward with his strong legs, chasing in the direction of Angel.
Behind the two men, a neat "clang clang" sound was heard, and five armored soldiers formed a column and followed their owner to "evacuate" the battlefield.
However, the distance between them and the "Disaster Giant" did not widen because of this, but instead shortened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One of its steps is equivalent to dozens of ours... Angel looked back, assessing the distance between the few people and the "Conqueror", and then decisively condensed a crystal ice surface in front of him, using it as an entrance to drill into the "mirror world".
Unlike the "real" mirror world composed of deep spaces and countless dark passages, the "mirror world" of Trier in the Quaternary Epoch is even darker, and the "passages" floating in the air are not intertwined and connected like spider webs, but all point to the same location - the magnificent city in the center of the wilderness.
