Chapter 622: Kill Utgarochi!
The intense pain and corrosion made it difficult for Utgaroch to move. Although the wildfire still burning on his body was still protecting him, Utgaroch could not help but start to have wild thoughts.
Utgarochi roared and launched a fierce counterattack against Origen's body.
But every attack of his was almost perfectly neutralized by Origen, and in turn left deep scars on himself.
Origen always remained calm, and his face did not become ferocious even in the life-and-death struggle.
However, at this moment, he felt that time began to slow down.
His brain, drowsy and blood-boiling from the boundless fury, suddenly calmed down. It was as if the noise in his ears had suddenly disappeared, and he suddenly became clear-headed.
Past experiences emerged in my mind one by one.
——Utgaroch’s problem is actually similar to Origen’s.
We are both warriors, but we can’t get the weapons we are best at.
It was for this reason that Utgarochi respected this warrior—because he respected him, he used all his strength to inflict fatal injuries on him.
If it wasn't the final blow, and the opponent triggered the Wildfire's automatic protection and was knocked away, Utgarochi would have carefully and seriously minced the opponent into meat paste, roasted it, and eaten it, ensuring that there was absolutely no possibility of resurrection or treatment.
It’s just a pity… he happened to receive treatment from the elves.
Now that Utgaroch has been usurped by the Giant King, he no longer possesses his most skilled magic sword, the Wounded Branch. Neither the giant axe nor his bare-handed strikes are Utgaroch's strongest weapons—his forte lies in swordsmanship, specifically the swordsmanship that complements the Wounded Branch.
"The Wounded Branch" is the most advanced weapon of the giants. It is also a divine weapon bestowed by the Supreme Heaven, imbued with His unparalleled divine power.
This weapon burns endlessly, emitting a light brighter than the sun. It is the embodiment of the Supreme Will of the Supreme Heaven.
Simply holding this weapon, without even wielding it, countless "slave swords" will automatically condense on the battlefield. They fly in the air according to the wielder's will, slashing enemies at will.
Each sword is like being wielded by a warrior who holds this magic sword.
With this weapon, any human wave tactics are meaningless against the giants. For the strongest of the giants, once they hold this magic sword, they can continuously split themselves, creating countless clones of themselves, controlling the entire battlefield. Each clone, however, is invincible due to its lack of physical form.
The weapon itself was forged by Supreme Heaven himself, a god-slaying blade capable of severing the "giant tree" upon which the elves depend for survival.
Because of this, it was called the "Wounded Branch." It itself was made from a broken branch of a giant tree, and was forged by the Supreme Heaven himself into a rebellious magic sword capable of killing "its father."
Just use this sword to cut off the roots of the giant tree, and you can completely cut off the vitality of the giant tree, burn and destroy the immortal towering giant tree.
It's precisely because of the intimidation of this sword that the Giants are able to avoid interference and checks and balances from the Elves—although in terms of top-level combat power, the Giants are indeed no match for the Theocracy. But if you dare to interfere with the Giant Kingdom, then at worst, we'll just move on!
—The giants didn't need any special habitats. Whether it was a forest or a desert, a glacier or a seashore... as long as it wasn't a desert with scarce food and excessive heat, they could always survive. But the elves couldn't accept the loss of their giant trees.
According to tradition, this sword should belong to the Patriarch of the Most High Heaven.
Because the Patriarch of the Supreme Heaven is generally also the most powerful person in the Giant Kingdom and the guardian of the kingdom.
However, this generation of giant kings was extremely arrogant and conceited.
He seized the title of Protector of the Utgaroch Kingdom under the ridiculous pretext that Utgaroch disrespected the royal family, and claimed himself as the Protector, holding this genuine divine weapon.
In terms of blood relationship, the Giant Royal Family is closer to Supreme Heaven. Therefore, Supreme Heaven, knowing that the other party was just making a false accusation, ignored the fact that the other party took away Utgaroch's artifact.
Because the position of Patriarch originally belonged to the royal family. Utgarochi also had royal blood flowing in his veins, but his bloodline was not as pure as that of his predecessors.
Utgarochi was able to rise to power purely because he was strong enough as a warrior.
No one deserves to be "wounded" more than him.
Even the old Giant King of the previous generation would have respect for Utgarochi. The Giant King of this generation had also learned martial arts from Utgarochi when he was young, and Utgarochi could be considered his teacher.
But now, without committing any major fault, Utgarochi was deprived of his status as guardian by his own students.
This is the shame—
The Giant Kingdom has lasted for thousands of years, and there has never been a precedent of its guardian being deprived!
However, when facing external enemies, he could call upon the Supreme Heaven for punishment. But when facing the bullying of the giant royal family, the Supreme Heaven chose to remain silent on his prayers.
There is no justice in the Most High.
And now...
"……Oh."
Utgarochi stared at this outstanding lizardman warrior and couldn't help but sneer.
He was not laughing at the other person, but at fate.
Utgarochi had never seen a warrior with such exceptional talent. Even within the Giant Kingdom, there was no warrior more powerful than this man. It was just that his lizardman body constrained his talent... What good could such a weak race do even if they reached the pinnacle?
If he were an elf, a giant, or a dragon - if he was born into these superior races, this lizardman warrior who is still in his prime might be able to reach the position of a god on the path of power in the future!
But……
Such a powerful warrior was given a weapon that could easily injure him.
That would be a disaster for the Giant Kingdom.
All this was caused by the "King" taking the weapon away from him.
——The era of giants may be coming to an end.
In Utgarochi's eyes, time seemed to slow down countless times.
Origen's body leaped high with a shadow, and then hovered and remained still in the air.
At that moment, his body seemed to have grown two or three times larger through an illusion.
A shadow wrapped in thunder covered his body!
It was an invincible face holding a lightning spear in both hands, majestic to the point of being terrifying!
In a trance, Utgarochi saw traces of the Supreme Heaven on that face.
As a fellow warrior, he could even read the name of every combat technique used by his opponent.
——Fanatical power!
——Weapon resonance!
——Giant Strike!
——Lightning strike!
——Weak point attack!
——Unparalleled Slash!
——Behead!
The seven skills overlapped together, unleashing unparalleled power.
——That is exactly the number of strength.
This is probably... fate.
This was the last thought that came to Utgarochi's mind.
The next moment, time flows.
The giant halberd phantom wrapped with countless golden blades split Utgarochi's head in two!
Then, a huge bolt of lightning engulfed the two of them.
The twisted force directly blew up Utgarochi's head!
Endless thunder, accompanied by violent winds, surged from the intersection in all directions.
Then the surrounding ground was peeled off piece by piece, and the trees flew up in the storm. A violent black explosion came out from Utgarochi's body, turning his body into powder piece by piece.
Aiwass, who was riding on Pegasus, was unable to dodge in the air and was caught in the trap.
His entire body was flung backwards, and with the last bit of willpower he could only try to hold on to the reins to keep himself and the Pegasus together. But even so, he was eventually caught in the trap and flung to the point of unconsciousness.
When Aiwass came back to his senses, he saw the sun in the sky turn into dusk.
The forest beneath him, which had just been destroyed by the aftermath and looked broken and tattered, has almost recovered, but traces of the earth and rivers that had been torn apart can still be seen.
"I told you I'd be back."
An indifferent voice sounded.
Aiwass turned around and saw a familiar figure wearing silver armor, concentrating on helping Aiwass feed Pegasus.
——It’s Arthur!
