Chapter 34 (1/2)

Ryan was a bit flustered when he found that he had been recognized.

He never thought that the giant and the young wizard who were supposed to be captive in the cave were still alive. They were not even injured after being hit by the Cloudkill spell, and most importantly, they even guessed his identity.

When he realized that his lie had been seen through, he felt like he was standing naked in a world of ice and snow, and it was so cold that his whole body was trembling.

What was the scariest thing in the world?

For Ryan who believed in secrecy and deception, it would be that his lies’ were totally seen through.

All these years, he had lied to many people and managed to get away with it. His lying skills made him feel secure and comfortable, as if he was wearing magic armour all over his body.

But now that he had been seen through, and there were no secrets about him anymore…

“It may not be that bad; they probably guessed a little bit…”

Ryan was trying to comfort himself, then he heard that Gerrard was sneering and shouting.

“You think you could please the Evil God of Scheme and Deception by betraying your peers? Let me tell you, the God of Conspiracy has been defeated already!”

Hearing this, he almost fainted.

The God of Conspiracy had not abandoned him? He was defeated!?

The d*mn huge giant, I knew there was a God behind him, a very powerful God!

My God…

Ryan felt as if he had already died, and his soul had left his body and was falling down to the abyss, to the Underworld. He was on his way to purgatory.

Right at this moment, a strong and chilling sound snapped him out of it.

“Giant Growth!”

The wizard, who was silent until now, raised up his hand, and a light glistened from the tip of his magic wand that was designed to help him to practice spells. Instantly, Gerrard was hit by this light.

The powerful magic energy began to work in the blink of an eye, and Gerrard grew much bigger. Then the back of his head hit the top of the cave.

Bang!

The tough stonewall was penetrated by Gerrard’s head, then by his whole upper body. Gerrard was now stuck in the stonewall like a beast in a trap.

“You think I can be so easily defeated by you!” Gerrard shouted as loud as thunder, and the sound echoed in the cave. The furious giant had exerted all his terrifying power. The rock above was cracking, as if it would collapse any minute now.

It did not collapse however. The wizard told Ryan to watch his back, and he immediately dashed forward and performed another spell.

His magic wand began to emit black light; the light was dim, rather thin and smooth like black silk. While he was brandishing his magic wand, the black “silk” quickly got bigger and bigger and turned into a large circle.

The wizard touched Gerrard’s leg with his hand, and before Gerrard realized, the black circle shut itself completely with him inside.

Inside the circle, there was sheer darkness that would make people feel dizzy. Before Gerrard even realized, he exclaimed and fell deeper into it.

He felt the sheer darkness beneath him was like an abyss, and he then vanished and was devoured by the darkness.

Gerrard’s shouting could still be heard from the darkness, and before he made any other moves, the wizard stopped the spell and the sheer darkness disappeared immediately along with Gerrard. If it weren’t for the falling debris, no one would possibly have believed a giant named Gerrard ever existed.

Earlier before, when the wizard was practicing the “Giant Growth” spell, Palin had felt there was something wrong. He meant to stop the wizard, but he was stopped by Ryan. Facing a very experienced bandit, the young wizard of low rank only managed to escape from being killed, and still he had suffered a lot during the process. He was barely holding up now.

At that moment, he could do nothing but watch the wizard practice the “Shadow Conjuration” and open the portal to the shadow.

The next moment, the portal was closed, and Gerrard who was still in the shadow could not come back anymore.

Palin was both anxious and angry, but he could not do anything. Right at this moment, he heard a voice that came from his heart.

“I will lend you my power. Do not be merciful, give him a good punch!”

Palin felt an incredibly powerful energy burst from his body.
