136 The True Enemy (2/2)

GRAAAAAGH!~

Several thunder-like voices followed forth from the mouth of the huge creatures emerging out of the water.

They were giant humans standing more than twenty meters tall. Their body glistened with scales covering most of their parts while obvious gills that lined across their neck can be seen twitching freakishly as it takes in the oxygen in the air.

Aside from their different heights and body build, these Anuks also have different numbers of arms, legs, eyes and even mouth.

Like mutated freaks, some have three eyes and two mouths, others have five arms and four legs and so on. They looked and moved incredibly weird but one thing that is common to them is their massive advantage in strength and not to mention, they had long adapted to their extra body parts and used them incredibly wisely.

Despite their huge sizes, they moved with irregular regularity. While others jumped out of the water to move, others dived deeper in accordance with their body advantage.

Wherever they came from or where they were hiding, that is still a mystery for them as they seem to come and go as they please by suddenly disappearing like bubles. And according to Kahayag, these giant Anuks are currently residing in the hidden legendary underwater City of Atlantis which current location is still untraceable.

Obviously, there is an even higher being protecting them and working on the background for them.

Quickly, like hungry beasts, the giant Anuks rushed their way to the shore.

And like a scheduled fight, Lapu-Lapu and his men received the unwanted giants with flaming swords together with the help of the borrowed powers from the unseen spirits of Light, they managed to start the fight with a flashy show of strength that can rival the giant's naturally overwhelming strength.

GROOOOAH!~

SLASH!

SMASH!

GRAOOOOAH!~

\”These Anuks keeps growing and evolving like shit!\” Lapu-Lapu murmured in surprise as he realized the incredible changes in the towering human's figure. Like a scene in a famous animated film Attack on Titans, he lunged himself towards the mountain-like body of the Anuks, hacked and slashed like a mad God of war.

The giant Anuks retaliated with their heavy fish smash, deadly stomps and even hard claps trying to squash their miniature opponents.

And just like that, the battle of the Anuks and the island warriors of Mactan led by Lapu-Lapu created massive craters of destruction across the rocky beach.

\”They are the Anuks. The son of the fallen angels. \” The warm voice explained at Elric who was staring intently on the battle of the giants and the island warrior.

\”Their existence should have been wiped out long ago during the great storm and flood. But it seems some managed survive with the help of certain mysterious individuals who called themselves The Outsiders.\” The voice continued and Elric finally reacted with a frown on his face.

\”The Outsiders?\” Elric muttered in surprise. It was not the first time for him hearing about them as this seemingly enigmatic beings continued to move strings here from there to create events.

\”Just what are they? And what is their purpose?\” Elric mumbled to himself.

\”The Anuks should have been completely wiped out since water is one of their greatest weakness. But as you can see, they seem to have evolved and found a way to survive and even live in the water.\”

\”I see. The bible did mention them though. I never thought they are actually real.\” Elric replied.

\”Kahayag, who came from the dimension of Light, is a Spiritual being who has no real human body. She is currently using your grandma's \”jar\” to move around the human physical realm with a certain mission. If you want to know what really happened to your grandma, I think it is best that you ask her.\” The warm voice added.

Elric remained quiet for some time as everything that happened so far had overwhelmed him. It was just too confusing as more questions keep piling up in his head.

\”I need answers! But where do I really start?\” Elric held touched his temple from the headache of all this information bombardment.

The battle is currently reaching the peak as the twelve human warriors are now down to four with Lapu-Lapu, Kahayag, and two other badly wounded men.

On the other side, the twenty-four or so giant Anuks are still standing with only five losses on their end. Their humungous bodies are riddled with scorched marks and bleeding wounds but their superior healing abilities seem to have gone a notch in their evolution as well.

The situation was not looking good on the human's side.

\”So tell me,\” Elric said, referring to the warm voice of Lapu-Lapu in his background.

\”Why did Kahayag took me here? Is it just to show me these? Surely there must be something else.\” Elric said.

\”You think we are gonna lose like that?\” The voice added as the whole atmosphere suddenly changed.

Elric suddenly noticed the hundred or so, silhouettes of the majestic Eastern Dragons hiding behind the thick dark clouds.

\”The reinforcements have come. And the deal is about to be revealed. Watch closely, boy.\”
