Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459
Seizing the opportunity, Du You fired another Energy Gathering Magic Cannon, this time the energy condensing took even longer. Because the physical condition of this magma giant, in no way inferior to that of the Yellow Sand Giant.
Moreover, this creature’s magma could burn everything around it, including magic power, so Du You had to gather even stronger magic power to pierce through it. Once again shattering the opponent’s core, the surroundings finally calmed down.
"Why hasn’t it extinguished? We’ve completed the mission, haven’t we?" Du You said with some uncertainty.
From behind, Lin Yucha said, "The mission is complete; the mission update says we’ve killed another Heavenly Disaster Giant."
Du You looked around strangely, as the volcanoes had not gone out. While they were no longer erupting continuously as before, there were still some that were erupting, just far fewer.
And the ash in the sky was still drifting, and it simply couldn’t dissipate all at once.
"Perhaps it’s because this place is volcanic. Volcanoes connect to the mantle beneath the Earth’s crust. We might have eradicated the Magma Giant, but we didn’t destroy the connecting channel. So it’s probably very difficult for this place to change."
"But the good news is, most of the volcanoes here will likely extinguish, gradually turning into extinct volcanoes in the future. Yet, a portion will certainly remain. If we’re unlucky, the nearby environment might not even change," Lin Yucha concluded after her analysis.
"Then it has nothing to do with us; we can only wish the people here good luck."
Du You had no intention to linger; what did he have to do with improving the environment? Looking at the burning mountain range, a Otherworld version of the Flame Mountain had formed. Who knows, it might even become a popular tourist attraction later on.
"Let’s go, onto the next location." They already knew the next destination and locating the Guardian Clan would be easy without needing to communicate with the Lava Guardian Clan; they needed to pick up the pace.
The three travelled by flight for two days, and honestly, this world was indeed not small. Two days later, Du You and company arrived at the location, and with some simple inquiries, they knew where to go.
In the vicinity, the most powerful organization was the Righteous Knights Corps. The family, leader of the Corps, was the Guardian Clan here. Their attribute was Light, and it seemed there weren’t any issues in this area.
The place where the Illusion Giant resided could be said to be the least affected area of the disaster. In fact, few people had even seen the Illusion Giant, and as long as you didn’t venture into the forbidden zone, this place was no different from any other.
Upon meeting Du You, the Corps leader, a Saint Knight of the Light Attribute, nodded slightly.
"For making contributions to the cause of justice, you are entitled to the God Destroying Rune."
Do I need your approval? Du You wondered if this intensely righteous man was naturally this way, or had just grown to play the part convincingly. At any rate, this guy was just a bit too upstanding.
For someone like Du You, with a generally average disposition and somewhat disagreeable in certain aspects, such righteous people did not evoke any fond feelings. Even standing beside them made him feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, Du You would respect such a person if their sincerity was genuine, but he would absolutely neither emulate nor draw close to them.
However, there was one advantage here; there was no need to prepare any banquets, nor any time-wasting programs.
The other party led him directly to the statue, handed over the God Destroying Rune, and also revealed some features about the Illusion Giant. "The rest is now up to you. We can’t handle the Illusion Giant; it can only remain in that place."
"Although the Illusion Giant has never shown strong aggressiveness, we do not know when it might suddenly emerge, so we remain stationed in this area. We hope you can succeed this time," the knight said earnestly.
His words felt sincere, but Du You felt somewhat awkward about it. Well, nevermind, after saying his farewells, he led the two sisters toward a small mountainous area.
This place was where the Illusion Giant resided, the mountainous area wasn’t large, it only covered a radius of about five miles. Compared to the areas affected by other giants, it was hardly worth mentioning. Dıscover more novels at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
But since it was a Heavenly Disaster Giant, it definitely wouldn’t be easy. Du You would not take it lightly.
"According to the information, the Heavenly Disaster manifested by the Illusion Giant is of an illusionary type, with very few people entering able to leave again. Those who do leave are confused about how they managed to get out, seeing all kinds of strange things."
"Indeed, all of that says there’s clearly something wrong here," Lin Yucha added.
"A giant skilled in illusions is tricky to deal with. Let’s hope we find it within ten days," said Du You. Once the God Destroying Rune left the statue, it could only exist for ten days; it couldn’t last indefinitely.
And once used, the effect would last even less time.
Suddenly, Lin Yucha spoke up, "Master, since the adversary has a Light Attribute, it’s probably in opposition to the Dark Attribute. If you release dark energy, you could perhaps draw him out. No, wait, maybe we can try another way, using a Summoned Beast. I remember that the Dark Dragon’s dark energy is particularly strong."
Du You considered this and felt it made sense. After all, he had no other options at the moment.
At this time, the three had already entered the range of the Illusion Giant, and indeed, the surrounding area was bizarre and varied.
Right as Du You entered the Illusion Mountain Range, a member of the Lava Guardian Clan, who had been rolling in pain on the ground, finally stood up. "The power in my body, the power coming from the Magma Giants has disappeared."
"Me too, I haven’t felt this relieved in a long time, though my strength has diminished."
"Alright, we can cultivate to recover our strength, but the important thing is that we’re no longer controlled," they said as the strength waned and their consciousness returned to normal. What once felt right now seemed entirely misguided.
"Why was I so foolish before," he thought, but pondering those who had died, their despair deepened. If they could have controlled them sooner, maybe they could have recovered too. Alas, the world has no place for ’ifs’.
As for seeking revenge on Du You, they had neither the courage nor the strength; there were barely any tier-five members left in their clan to protect themselves. Today, the strength of the Lava Guardian Clan was probably weaker than the historically weakest Yellow Sand Guardian Clan.
"From now on, let’s earnestly atone and develop this area. Also, initiate contact with other Guardian Families, tell them our situation and that we have now recovered, then seek assistance."
"There are no buts, do as I say," the person with the highest authority at the scene commanded.
