Chapter 868 - Giant Attack on the Ministry of Magic (2/2)
Yet even those giants who shared the same interest as Karkus were not willing to disobey, their Gurg, Wurfbog. Any giant that had even dared to question or defy Wurfog had been killed in the most painful manner possible including being eaten alive. And frankly, Karkus knew that he could never hope to defeat Wurfbog and live. He and the rest of the giants had no choice but to obey their Gurg, Wurfbog lest they be killed and eaten.
Karkrus approaches Diagon Alley with fists raised but is forced to pull back as a youth eagerly moves forward to attack the enchanted ward wall. The teen only half-grown, but he eagerly attacked the wards with his fists. Golomath was already fifteen feet tall and would likely grow to be twenty-five feet at his full height. The teen full-blooded giant eagerly followed the ways of their bloodthirsty Gurg, Wurfbog. His teeth had begun to darken to a brown and would one day in the future turn black. He already wore a bone necklace around his necklace with a few of his kills, but he aimed to add more. The teen was savage and ferocious with a strong fervent dėsɨrė for slaughter.
Wurfbog impatiently motions for Karkrus to move Golomath away. Karkrus snorts and shoves the young giant away. ”Useless,” he grunted and began to fervently punch at the wards causing them to loudly crackle and sparkle like a fierce thunder and lightning storm.
Golomath is furious and glares at the large giant vowing to take revenge, before retreating in humiliation back to his original position. As the younger giant passes Wurfbog, he kicks the youth in the ribs strong enough to crack ribs. With a painful grunt, Golomath falls to the ground with a loud thud cradling his aching ribs.
”Know your place, runt,” Wurfbog snarled returning his attention to the wards before him.
Dolohov lets out a pleased cackle and smiles maliciously at the young giant in sheer amusement. It never failed to amaze him the stupidity of these mangy creatures. But what could be expected of such beasts?
Humiliated Golomath limps to his feet clutching his side with one hand. The other giants merely shake their heads at the foolish halfling. Not yet fully grown and the halfling had foolishly rushed ahead. The halfling was lucky their Gurg had not taken a limb in punishment.
With Golomath having retreated, Karkus and the other giant did not pull their punches pummeling the ward with all their might. The ward sparkles and thunders even more dramatically until cracking sounds can be heard. The customers that had escaped the Leaky Cauldron had fled long ago. Some ran towards the floo hearth's, while others sought safety at the Ministry of Magic. By the time, they reached the front steps, the Auror's and A.P.D. began to emerge from the Ministry of Magic as alarms had begun within headquarters of the Diagon Alley wards falling under attack.
The Auror's motioned for the citizens to seek cover inside the Ministry of Magic as they mounted emergency defenses. Before sufficient preparation could be completed, the wards with a thundering crash failed. The Diagon Alley entrance is easily torn and enlarged for a giant to pass through. Karkus and the other giant step back permitting for their Gurg to come forth and lead at the helm.
”Kill and Feast!” Wurfbog roared before stomping eagerly forward. Dolohov hurdles ahead as the giants stampeded after them causing the earth to shake. The record shop and book shop loudly shatter as they are trampled beneath the feet of the storming giants. The ground violently shakes as the giants rush forward while the truly impatient giants try to lumber through the Diagon Alley shops only for the wards to flare up.
The shop wards would be easily destroyed, but giants at times are simple-minded creatures. The impatient giants quickly gave up on destroying the shops believing it to be much easier to traverse Diagon Alley using the cobblestone pathways. The earth dizzyingly trembles as the giant's figures grow clearer as they approach swiftly through the mist with hunger in their eyes. Many of the giants were half-starved from their impossible trek across the world and they hungered to feast upon flesh be it beast or human.. It was all the same to them for food was simply moving food.
