Chapter 136: Vanguard Spear: Longomyniad
This time, Aiwas's experience of death was completely different from the last time he was promoted on the path of dedication.
Although killed by the Shadow Demon himself, his consciousness did not separate from his corpse. His perspective did not rise upwards or fall downwards into darkness.
His consciousness still remained within his body.
Though his body was dead, Aiwass could still feel the many pains that were stewing within him.
It was as if he was not killed by the Shadow Demon and thrown into the cauldron, but was cooked alive.
This giant cauldron, which is nearly three meters high and more than six meters in diameter, looks like a low crucible and a huge bowl.
Its shell was dark gold, etched with the hideous, tormented faces of various races. It was like a mask molded from their faces, cast in gold. Or, as if someone were struggling to escape from a pot, the faces of the wronged souls protruding from the surface.
The pupils of all these heads were made of dark red garnet, like dried, solidified blood.
Barton saw clearly below... after Mr. Aleister entered the cauldron, the dark red gems suddenly shone with brilliance.
Aiwass's body was curled up in a ball, sleeping like a fetus.
Invisible heat flowed into Aiwas' body through all the orifices in his body.
First, the skin feels like it's been soaked in thick, hot ginger or chili juice, gradually heating up until it becomes scalding hot, a brief period of comfort followed by increasingly intense, uncontrollable pain.
The flesh seemed to melt, yet also to be burned solid. The bones were the hottest, and one could even clearly feel the traces they left within the body.
When the heat reached his chest, abdomen and brain, Aiwass suddenly felt that the whole world had become quiet.
It was as if the whole world was burned to ashes, and a flame born of rage ignited from his chest.
——Then, the heart that had stopped beating began to beat abnormally, and muscles all over the body began to wriggle and swell.
More intense, more violent.
Footsteps were heard from the doorway, and a roar rang out from the cauldron.
It sounded like a roar of pain, or like the cry of a desperate soldier charging.
A huge dark red figure gradually rose from the cauldron. He looked to be about three or four meters tall, his clothes completely torn apart. After he stood up from the cauldron, his chest was exposed.
A huge hole ran through the heart from front to back - that was the scar left by the previous death by the Shadow Demon.
The wound didn't heal, but instead continued to pump out billowing steam. The steaming white steam, along with the dark red heart like an ember, made the giant "Aleister" look like some kind of demonic creature, not a human.
Or rather, this is the monster—
The crimson light from the "power" continuously poured into his body. The tall warrior who had come back to life and still exuded the rich aroma of vegetable broth remained silent.
After returning from the realm of the dead, he lost the ability to speak.
"What's going on?"
A deep, muffled female voice echoed. It belonged to a Valkyrie, a beautiful, human-like creature with a gigantic build.
She had flaming red hair and a stern, resolute face. She appeared to be only about ten meters tall, reaching only to the chest of the red-haired bear-man. The giantess had just gotten up and was naked. Her abdomen and thighs were covered in vine-like muscles, with not a trace of excess fat.
But in contrast to the giantess's human-like appearance and figure, her skin was extremely dry and rough. Her pale skin looked like waxed bark or a plaster statue, reflecting bright white light under the light.
Because of Aiwass in the cauldron, she did not notice Barton huddled in the corner. The giantess's full attention was focused on Aiwass.
"A slave has escaped!"
She quickly understood what had happened.
The giantess roared, and her first reaction was to run to the head of the bed to grab her weapon.
For a human, it would be considered a giant axe—nearly two meters long, made of fine steel that was incompatible with the bronze structure. But for the giantess, it was just a light hand axe.
However, at this moment, black liquid suddenly shot out from Aiwas's hand, stuck to one of the two hand axes, and dragged it back to Aiwas' hand.
He tried to chop the cauldron beneath him with his hand axe, but it was completely ineffective. The axe even broke a little.
Aiwass roared, and the shadow demon turned back again and reached for the holy spear.
In a battle at the level of mortals, the spiral spear that the Shadow Demon transformed into was enormous. However, in a battle at the scale of giants, the Shadow Demon was as small as a thread.
——But even if it is a line, it can play a sufficient auxiliary role.
Even if this axe cannot cause any damage to the giant, at least it can make the opponent lose a weapon.
And now when the Holy Spear fell into Aiwas's hands, a message appeared before his eyes.
That is the name and attribute of this holy spear.
【Vanguard Spear·Longomyniad】
[Sacred Weapon (Sizhu): This weapon was crafted by Sizhu, and only those who identify with Sizhu's ideals can wield it.]
[Lance, heavy, tough, sharp, penetrating, adaptable]
[Holy Characteristics: Its attacks ignore the resistance bonuses of "Divinity", "Defiled", and "Force Field" categories.]
[Super Module - Challenger's Courage: When facing an enemy stronger than oneself, the holder will not waver]
[Holy Module - Life Dedication: Immediately sacrifice 99% of its maximum health to activate its mythical form, "Mythical Rongomyniad"]
[Holy Module - I Am the Vanguard: When you have no teammates, all attacks you launch as Rungomyniad automatically gain maximum advantage; you will not be flanked by enemies; the more enemies you have within your attack range, the higher your total damage.]
[Holy Module - No Retreat: You cannot retreat; every time an enemy attempts to leave your attack range, a Holy Counterattack is automatically triggered. The additional damage of the counterattack is determined by the percentage of your current health. The lower the health percentage, the higher the damage. If the Holy Counterattack is enough to kill the enemy, the excess damage will be treated as an equal amount of healing.]
[Longomyniad Myth: The power of the Candlelight is brought to bear upon the Eternal Vanguard. Whenever the bearer is attacked by a potentially fatal attack, they automatically enter the "Eternal Vanguard" state for three seconds.]
[While in the "Eternal Vanguard" state, all damage received is absorbed and converted into an equal amount of healing; this effect cools down three seconds after the "Eternal Vanguard" state ends.]
[“—I am the eternal vanguard of the stag, unyielding, unretreating, undefeated, and immortal.”]
When the holy spear fell into the hands of Aiwass, who had transformed into a giant, it suddenly shrank a circle, becoming a length suitable for Aiwass to use.
There is no doubt that this is a true artifact.
An artifact experience card!
This is the sacred weapon specially made by Sizhu for his beloved "Eternal Pioneer" - the giant apostle who originally lived in this Sizhu Temple, was more than 20 meters tall, lived a simple life and never left the house.
And Aiwass also understood why only this gun could cause harm to the "giant couple" and destroy the demon cauldron...
As the apostle of the Supreme Heaven and the divine weapon bestowed by Him, only this weapon that can ignore the resistance of "divinity" can shatter it!
Even if he is only a transcendent of the first energy level, with a warrior body strengthened by the magic cauldron and the holy spear blessed by Sizhu himself, he can fight the giant apostle head-on!
Although many of this weapon's attributes are invalid... but as long as its mythical form is used properly, it is basically equivalent to locking blood!
Thinking of this, Aiwass turned his spear and chopped down heavily.
The holy spear shining with golden light easily shattered the demon cauldron!
Just like hitting a casserole with a hammer, the magic cauldron offered no resistance and shattered with just a slight blow.
The food that continuously emerged from the magic cauldron was scattered to the ground along with the shattered magic cauldron and the splashing soup. They made a hissing sound and disappeared like ashes.
After the demon cauldron was smashed, the red garnets shattered simultaneously even though they were not attacked.
Countless white souls were released from the gem and mixed with the rising white steam, causing the temperature in the room to drop suddenly.
"——Kastenning's Holy Spear!"
The giantess exclaimed, "How did you pick it up?"
The female giant obviously recognized the gun and hesitated visibly.
But Aiwass had already attacked her.
Although the female giant was very afraid of the spear, she was not afraid. With a roar, she attacked Aiwass.
With just a roar, Patton, who was hiding in the corner, began to bleed from all seven orifices.
His brain was buzzing, and the severe loss of balance and nausea made it impossible for him to stand.
The temple walls, solidified by the power of the gods, were unable to resist the power of the female giant.
She lowered her head and launched a barrage of attacks at Aiwass. Her ten-meter-tall frame was as nimble as a cat. As she moved, she stirred up a whirlwind of wind, her hand axe slashing fiercely at Aiwass's head!
There was a loud bang in the air, and a howling storm roared in all directions from the point of contact. The entire room was completely destroyed by the typhoon.
But at this moment, the holy spear in Aiwass's hand suddenly burst out with holy light.
Black hollow thorns sprouted from the handle, piercing Aiwass's arm like the roots of an old tree. Deep crimson blood instantly dyed the black thorns red.
The Holy Spear seemed to have obtained fuel, and pure white flames suddenly ignited and distorted the air.
The surging heat rolled up, and all the cloth and paper in the room began to spontaneously combust.
After being hit hard by the axe, Aiwass did not retreat nor was he seriously injured.
Instead, pure white flames burst out from his pupils, and he recovered his health in an instant.
Aiwas roared and thrust the holy spear burning with holy fire heavily at the female giant!
At this moment, a silver-white scale emerged from Aiwas's left hand.
[Authority - Silver Scale: When you attack anyone who breaks their oath, gain +1 advantage (divinity)]
That was the symbol of the Silver Crowned Dragon, proof that He was watching over Aiwass.
It also meant that the giant before him was someone who had broken his oath and was hated by the Silver Crown Dragon—
