The One-eyed Giant looked over this way.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Wu Xiaode felt a surge of urgency and hastily shouted to the crowd behind him. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noⅴelfire.net
By his side, the Knight was simply daunted by the massive stature of the One-eyed Giant and stood still for a moment without moving.
"It’s the legendary One-eyed Giant..."
The Knight murmured in a daze.
The One-eyed Giant didn’t speak or even step forward, just stood there, looking at the man again.
Only then did the man come to his senses, quickly raising his shield and shouting, "Holy Barrier!"
White light began to emanate from the shield, on the brink of manifesting into something tangible—
A deep red beam shot out from the fierce pupil of the giant, instantly penetrating the man’s large shield and his body as well.
The man’s body burst into black and red Fiery Flames.
He let out a scream, and his entire body violently scattered, turning into a glowing red skeleton that fell to the ground and turned to ashes.
"Knights... they don’t taste good, all die."
Wu Xiaode felt the hair on his body stand on end—
A deep red beam directly exploded his body.
The world flashed away.
Wu Xiaode found himself sitting on the floor of the room, soaked in cold sweat.
He had returned to the real world!
He quickly felt his own body.
He had not sustained any injuries.
In fact, this was the scene of the Knight’s death.
Wu Xiaode sighed, feeling a bit despondent.
If being merely glanced at by the opponent could kill you, what was there left to fight for?
Does anyone know how to deal with the One-eyed Giant’s beam?
At least dealing with that move first, then you can get close to the giant for hand-to-hand combat!
Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment, then murmured to himself, "Add me one."
With a "whoosh," Wu Xiaode vanished from the room.
Someone patted Wu Xiaode on the shoulder.
"How did we get here? Anthony, what is this place?" A man clad in armor, wielding a sword, asked.
"I don’t know either, but I guess we’re in trouble," Wu Xiaode said.
The man followed his gaze and saw the One-eyed Giant atop the Corpse Mountain at a glance.
The man whispered softly.
"All hands, on alert!" Wu Xiaode called out, blowing a whistle to lead the charge.
A horse clad in thick, gleaming full body armor galloped over, stopping in front of Wu Xiaode.
It lowered its head and affectionately nuzzled Wu Xiaode.
——At this moment, Wu Xiaode was Anthony!
Wu Xiaode mounted the horse, and with a yank of the reins, the war horse charged towards the direction of the Corpse Mountain.
Just like last time, the One-eyed Giant finally noticed the commotion here and opened its eye to look at Wu Xiaode.
However, Wu Xiaode was prepared, pulling out his shield from behind and roaring, "Holy Barrier!"
The shield exuded layers of white light, materializing into the wings of an angel.
The shield of the Knight from before hadn’t fully formed, but Wu Xiaode acted preemptively, letting this Holy Shield fully materialize.
A deep red ray pierced through the darkness, striking directly onto the shield.
In that instant, time slowed to a crawl.
Wu Xiaode watched with wide eyes as the angelic wings on the shield painfully dissipated, the entire shield crumbled, and the beam penetrated his arm to hit his body.
Wu Xiaode let out a painful scream.
All light and shadow dissipated, and he reappeared in the room of the dojo, his head and body drenched with sweat released from the fear of impending death.
He gasped for a while before regaining his composure.
The strongest defense technique of the Knight couldn’t withstand the One-eyed Giant’s deep red beam.
Was there any other way?
Wu Xiaode paced back and forth in the room, carefully recalling all the Knight’s skills.
When he came up with a brand-new plan, he spoke up:
With a "whoosh," he vanished from the room once again.
No sooner had Wu Xiaode appeared than he blew a whistle.
The Void opened, and the fully harnessed war horse galloped to his side.
Wu Xiaode shouted, turning the horse’s head towards the team, and galloping over.
The Great Mage with the group called out.
"There’s a One-eyed Giant on the other side, I’ll take the Princess away first, you guys hold them off!" Wu Xiaode said.
The Great Mage looked deep into Death Demon Cave and exclaimed in shock, "Giant!"
In the meantime, Wu Xiaode had already passed him and reached the little girl.
At that moment, she was unharmed and her face was not yet smeared with blood.
Therefore, Wu Xiaode could also see her appearance.
If there were a high-born princess whom Elves and sprites lined up to bless, she would look exactly ravishing beauty.
Except she was too young, too tender, not even of age yet to activate her Battle Armor.
Wu Xiaode extended his hand, calling out:
"Your Highness, let’s leave this dangerous place first!"
The little girl was resolute, giving the stunned Knights and Mages in front of her a glance, then taking a look at the Corpse Mountain deep inside the Death Demon Cave, and immediately grabbed Wu Xiaode’s hand to mount the horse.
"I entrust my safety to you, Anthony," the little girl said aloud.
"Let’s depart, Your Highness!" Wu Xiaode called out.
The battle horse galloped towards the tunnel, and at that moment, the guards also reacted, forming a defensive formation in unison.
Atop the Corpse Mountain.
