Chapter 357 - 187. To The Theocratic Empire (Part Two) (2/2)

Alice see on her task, her hands quietly pressed against h my body

I saze to the floor of the carriage There were quite a lot of books placed there I had asked Hans earlier to secure tomes related to the ancient Jötnar, and these were the ones he had found forbetter to do, I picked up one of the books and flipped open its cover

This particular book contained a tale from the ancient times More specifically, a tale related to the Jötnar

There were four ‘kings’ of giants in total

The Frost Giant, Hrímr

The Fire Giant, Surtr

The Earth Giant, Hrungnir

And finally, the Magic Giant, Utgar

According to the tome, they wielded different types of powers

They were originally created by the Gods for the purpose of keeping the balance of the world, and also to protect it However, their arrogance knew no bounds and they started calling the things and return the world to the state of primordial nature

That world would be filled with nothing but ice, fla sand, a withered and dead planet where no living creatures existed That was their ultied by their rebellion and proceeded to seal the giants away But this had happened such a long ti the vampires to break that seal wide open in the end

“And a them, Hrímr was the lowest ranked, huh?”

The Frost Giant, Hrí the four Giant Kings, its influence was also supposed to be the weakest as well

Holy coas required to su with cannons in order to kill it, yet it was the weakest of the lot?

Seriously, how absurdly strong were the other Giant Kings, then?

The next up in rank was Surtr It wielded a whip of fire, and naturally burned everything down It loved to burn and torture the living for fun, and the bibles even described the bastard as a devil given forht now

It was right at thatmy physical condition, muttered in a dazed voice, “It’s all broken”

(TL: In 3rd person POV)

“It’s all broken,” Alice oing out of control?’

She realised now that the current condition of Allen’s body was quite grave It seeenerated his body somehow

In less than a month, he had been forced to unhesitantly pour out his divine power against both the Frost Giant and Duke Agares And then he had even used a legendary weapon on top of everything else!

The burden on his body had multiplied as a result

‘Even now, he’s still pushi+ng himself recklessly when his body is like this…’

The Holy E hied to endure it until now

“…Your Majesty”

Allen was jolted out of his thoughts and turned around to stare at Alice She quietly pressed her forehead to his shoulder and murmured to hi to do, sire?”

“Well… I guess I’ll have to go out and fight it”

“By yourself, sire?”

Allen suddenly went quiet That ry

This was so obvious He wouldby himself Just like how he had done so far, he’d try to resolve everything through his oers

“No, you htly clenched her fists If this went on, an uncontrollable divinity deviationhis body in the process

Not just his physical self, but even his soul would be daed, too!

Allen found her reaction odd and asked her, “What’s wrong?”

WuxiaWorldS i t e Only

“Please, I beg of you Don’t push yourself” She raised her head and stared directly into his eyes during her reply “Your Majesty, please do not forget I’m from the House Astoria But not only that…” She then placed her hand on her chest “I’ you in this era I’m Alice Astoria, sire”

Her voice sounded resolute, deterht by your side That’s why…” She then buried her face on his back onceof you Rely on me Allow me to help you, sire”
