Chapter 788

Chapter 788: Chapter 169 Uther Galoch Chapter 788: Chapter 169 Uther Galoch As the pitch-black vortex in the high skies gradually spread and enlarged, the atmosphere became increasingly gloomy.

The Eye of the Sky darkened bit by bit, and although it was noontime, it felt as if it were night.

The howling storm came sweeping in, causing the ships that were docked at the shore to rock unsteadily.

Wave after wave washed backwards—not the east-to-west tides, but ripples emanating from Glass Island and spreading outwards in concentric circles.

“Captain, think of something!”

Albert clutched his chestnut-like small round hat, shouting to the tall elf beside him, “Could Lord Helkin be in danger!”

“...I don’t know either.”

The grey-haired elf known as the captain frowned deeply, “This is too fast...”

“I think it’s a trap!

Let’s disembark!”

The dwarven elder issued a rough and loud voice.

“Regardless, let’s first deliver the armor and long spear to Lord Helkin.”

The human girl beside him looked over, “Otherwise, if he is attacked...”

“—I’ll go, you all guard the ship.”

The tall Lizardman Warrior spoke in a low voice, cutting off everyone else.

...

The others immediately fell silent, looking at him with trust.

“Leave it to you, Origen!”

The others clamored as if with this warrior taking action, everything would be alright.

At that moment, the Lizardman Warrior with brownish-red skin effortlessly hoisted the heavy armor onto his back, lifted the silver-white lance, and frowned.

—He sensed a strong uneasiness.

That feeling...

“...Demons?”

The Giant Priest clad in a red robe suddenly looked up, gazed out of the window, and frowned, “Where did the demons come from?”

“What demons?”

The much smaller female Giant beside him was puzzled, “What are you talking about, Silter?”

“There’s a Night Fiend venting her ‘jealousy’...

Perhaps it’s a conspiracy of the Fallen Celestial Marshal.

“—And remember to call me Uther Galoch, Signe.

I am no longer the Guardian of the kingdom.”

Uther Galoch looked down at the long-handled metal great axe in his hand and said calmly, “I also have no right to hold the Wounded Branch anymore.”

“Then do you still want to interfere with this matter?”

Signe asked with concern, “Or report to the Supreme Heaven.”

Unlike the rough and terrifying appearance of the Giants, the female Giant Signe had a beautiful countenance and skin as pale as marble.@@@@

In less than a minute, those Giants who couldn’t make it inside the buildings were washed into piles of white bones by the blood rain.

Their flesh was corroded by the blood rain and spread into streams of crimson on the ground.

Meanwhile, Aiwass rode on the Pegasus, affected by the Charm of Radiance, flying eastward.

Unlike the later Knight Nation of Avalon, the “Island Avalon” of this era had no port built.

But that did not prevent Aiwass from knowing that their current location should be on the west side of Avalon Island.

And Glass Island should lie to the east of Avalon!

The Pegasus flew at high speed across the sky, surrounded by a golden, sacred radiance.

And the Night Fiend followed close behind.

Her wings, rugged as the trunks of dead trees, spread wide.

Ethereal shadows of feathers adorned them like leaves.

Her body was nearly completely blended into the nothingness, concealed within the sky transformed into “night”.

——The Night Fiend didn’t look like a follower of Aiwass at all, but rather like someone chasing after him!

At this time, Aiwass finally reached the first major settlement.

Aiwass knew that Giants were not normal group-dwelling creatures.

They tended to live in family units, each occupying a small area, not interacting with other Giants or having much need for social contact.

Relatively compact families of Giants could be called a “settlement” or a “gathering spot”.

The Giants would build castles in their own areas and breed humans—they called the humans who established villages “free-range”, and the ownership of these free-range humans still belonged to them.

With the Magic Cauldron providing endless vegetables, Giants wouldn’t starve despite their enormous appetite.

But to them, meat was undoubtedly a luxury item.

For this reason, Giants often named gathering spots after parts of meat...

naturally, there were areas with the same name.

After all, although it was called the Giant Kingdom, there were no low-level managers.

The Giant Kingdom implemented the classic flat nation management—there were only three thin layers to the entire nation.

The royal family at the top, with the divine blood of Supreme Heaven, represented Supreme Heaven in the Material Realm.

Below them were the Priesthood, concerned with arts, and the Generals, concerned with warfare, followed by the commoners spread throughout the land.

Every commoner was a soldier; no Giant was unskilled in battle.

The reason for establishing settlements was because, as devout followers of Supreme Heaven, Giants had a strict need for worship.

Since traveling to the Royal City was too far, they required a closer area for worship activities.

From this perspective, a Giant’s settlement was a large group of dispersed Giants defined by the territory around a Holy Temple.

“Take action, Night Fiend!”

Aiwass commanded, “First dismantle the Holy Temple to prevent any Angel Envoys from teleporting over through it!”

“As you command, master.”

The Night Fiend replied succinctly, then took off like a black comet, diving towards the Holy Temple!
