The fighting was again in a cycle of repetition; The lumberjacks, then the bald janitor leading a few elites, then the lumberjacks again. They fought in this cycle and killed the steady stream of skeletons as though they were a meat grinder. However, without the wooden fence as their defense, it was not a good choice to attempt to withstand the steady stream of skeletons by relying entirely on human power.
As the fighting continued, some lumberjacks were injured. Because of the impact, their physical abilities dropped rapidly. Fewer and fewer lumberjacks were able to continue fighting, and the time the bald man could rest became more brief, having to keep on fighting on the front lines to prevent the front line from collapsing through his bravery.
This bald man was indeed a tough guy; As the fighting continued, he had more and more wounds and gradually became stained with blood. However, clenching his teeth, not only did he not retreat, but he also refused to show even a small expression of weakness. He kept on fighting.
But bravery alone was not enough. The growing wounds and his gradually slowing actions gave him away; he too could not hold on for much longer.
It seemed that the bald man would not be able to hold up. Sui nodded secretly and jumped out from the depths of the woods.
Perhaps this village had other ideas, but Sui Xiong could not stand by idly with his arms crossed while she watched a hero battling for the safety of others.
The huge body set off a gust of wind and huge tentacles waved, breaking trees and overturning the ground, like a tornado drawing traces of terror on the earth. They pushed Sui Xiong to march quickly while crossing almost ten miles. He finally rushed to the vacant space in front of the village.
“Demacia!”
The giant jellyfish, roaring the lines of the game in a language that nobody could comprehend in this world, struck and smashed the skeletons crowding towards the gate of the village with its swinging tentacles.
Boom!
At least a hundred skeletons were smashed by the hit. Even the ground was deeply caved in. The monster’s strange tremendous power was on full display.
For these guys who only had bones left, the giant jellyfish was outrageously powerful.
“Haha! See, you trash!? I am strong, super strong! I am irresistibly and absolutely powerful!”
Sui Xiong, laughing, waved his tentacles and whipped the skeletons, which were demolished. Although he had actually only shown a small portion of his own strength, this level of strength had been enough to wipe out a mighty army.
The villagers, who had been in a bitter fight, were stunned by this chain of events. There was no way that they could have seen this coming!
Experienced gamers had seen a Gailun jumping out of the grass before, but who could have expected such an astonishing happening as a giant dragon dropping from the sky?
Fortunately, Sui Xiong had made this body quite reserved. Despite being bulky, it was not particularly ferocious. It had thick skin and plain colors, with no patterns or deformities. It was nothing more than a big monster with thick skin and tentacles. In contrast, the skeletons were more horrible.
It was like an elephant and a hyena; although an elephant is much bigger than a hyena and can kill one, judging by appearances, the elephant looks more friendly. It is especially the case when the elephant is protecting you so that you will not be hurt by a hyena.
Seeing Sui Xiong sweeping off the thousands of troops by waving tentacles in all directions and leaving bone dregs flying in a disorderly way, many villagers cheered up. However, behind the crowd, in the stone house that the sense of Sui Xiong’s soul could not sense, there was a pair of old eyes that did not show the slightest joy, but rather surprise and anger.
“What the hell is this legendary creature!?” This was the night watchman and chief priest of White Leaves Village. He stared fiercely at the behemoth that was killing the skeleton group. He was so angry that even his beard was trembling.
Having spent a lot of time, energy, and resources, he had arranged several ways of maneuvering, and was ready to take advantage of this year’s Ash Night when the skeleton army sieged in order to greatly enhance his power through faith, and gain more followers for his religion. He could also see the old bald man, who posed a barrier to his preaching by always encouraging the villagers to be self-reliant, die.
Originally, everything was going well. Seeing that everything was happening step by step, and the bald guy was going to die soon, the night watchman gathered that when he showed his power as a last resort and acted as a savior, the villagers would surely bow down to him. They had already bowed to him, but not in a pious way; they should sincerely worship him in the way that he devoted everything to His Majesty, and they should give His Majesty their faith as well.
Shortly after the end of life, the night watchman would be able to proudly go to the heavenly kingdom of His Majesty. He prepared everything properly. When things happened step by step, all was under his command. However, this damn monster had ruined everything!
Damn! Judging by this huge body and powerful force, it should be a cruel legendary monster, a monster that would destroy creatures so that people would fear it. But why had it come to protect humanity!?
