Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 88 The Unfinished Fifth Floor

"boom--"

The huge impact smashed through the ceiling, and in the smoke, a thick tree trunk swept towards Ron's team. Ivy was the first to bear the impact, but was directly knocked out.

"Damn it, this bastard actually found a giant as his master?!" Sera cursed and rushed forward with an axe.

"And he's a hill giant," Ron recognized the other party's actual race. "Mindatis, I never thought you would fall to this level! A hill giant?"

"Don't ridicule me," Mindatis said coldly, "It is not my master, but a cooperative relationship."

"The ghouls here steal its food every night. I help it get it back, and it helps me."

"Now that you have dealt with the culprit, unfortunately, you will have to bear its wrath!"

"As for me, I'll see you guys when you're resurrected, hahahahahaha!"

"Don't run!" Victoria was about to cast a spell to immobilize Mindatis, but the hill giant's attack had already arrived, so she had to interrupt the spell and roll to the side to avoid the big tree that seemed to have been pulled out of the ground at random.

"Thief!"

The hill giant roared in a harsh Common language, showing no fear even when outnumbered by six.

"Hey! Big guy!" Driver jumped directly onto the hill giant's shoulder and kept attacking its neck and face. Against this bulky and relatively slow opponent, Sera and Ivy had almost no advantage. Instead, Driver was able to deal with it.

However, as the giant smashed the tree down indiscriminately, the other people were in trouble. They kept dodging everywhere, fearing that the powerful and heavy tree trunk would fall on them. That was no joke.

"Hey! You got the wrong person!" Ron shouted, trying to make the other person hear him clearly, "We are not thieves! You were fooled by that elf!"

"Nonsense!" The Hill Giant was so angry that he smashed a tree trunk into the ground, making a big hole. "Elf, good! You, thieves, are bad!"

The giant was probably a typical example of a being that had great strength despite its size. Although the space here was a bit small for it, it could easily pose a fatal threat to Ron and the others just by swinging its weapon casually.

Perhaps it was annoyed by Driver's harassment, or perhaps it was troubled by the long-term attack. In any case, when another stick of the Hill Giant fell into the air, the giant began to stomp the ground frantically and beat the ground with his stick.

"What is it...doing?" Ivy asked, panting.

Is this a temper tantrum? Or is this some kind of innate magic?
"Hill giants have nothing to do with magic," Sylvia murmured, "but do you remember that the dwarven diary said that there is an unfinished fifth floor in this mine?"

"Stop it!"

But this is futile - they can prevent the hill giant from attacking them, but they can't stop the hill giant from attacking the ground beneath their feet!
With a loud bang, the hill giant smashed the stone slab again, and everyone fell down without exception.

"Oh my god..." Ron groaned. He seemed to have hit something and hurt his back.

"You fell into the arms of a skeleton," Sera fell beside him, glanced at Ron and said, "The one called 'Old Hammer' or something ate it quite cleanly back then."

Ron put his hands on his back and stood up. What he saw was a pile of bones. Not far away, there was a big pot with a leaking bottom. A skeleton was lying inside it, as if trying to crawl out.

At this time, the giant also jumped down and continued to attack indiscriminately.

"It's terrible..." Ron flipped open the foreword of the weaving method and patted Sera's shoulder with one hand, "Enlarge!"

"Please hold on for a while, I need to check out the surroundings!" Ron shouted to Sera who was growing bigger, and quickly ran towards the skeletons. "Leave it to me, Chief!" Sera laughed, and her clothes and weapons also grew bigger, and soon she grew to the same size as a hill giant.

"Hey! Now let's play some more!"

Hill Giants are difficult to deal with largely because of their size and the size of their weapons. When facing an opponent of the same level, the Giants, lacking fighting skills, quickly begin to suffer losses.

While Sera was fighting the hill giant, Ron trotted to the other side, where he could still see pickaxes and shovels without handles, and obvious signs of digging. The mutation must have started from here.

But now when Ron went there, there was nothing left.

"Hole..." Ron put on gloves, wrapped his mouth and nose with cloth, and carefully touched it. A few pieces of gravel were knocked off, revealing round holes as thick as a little finger behind.

"There are also traces of energy auras," Victoria turned around after confirming that Sera didn't need support. "After so many years, there are still traces left. You can imagine how big they dug out back then."

"How could the energy from the Abyss leak here?" Sylvia frowned. "The first ghouls were probably infected here."

"Look over there," Ivy pointed into the darkness, "the way down here is blocked by rocks. They must have taken a lot of effort to dig it out back then."

"Ordinary people can't do it. They only have such energy and strength after becoming zombies." Sylvia took a look. "It's really hell. They just want to go back alive, but they bring more death with them!"

“And they themselves are not immune.”

Ron looked around and there seemed to be nothing else. "Old Hammer" and the others seemed to be serious people and had no habit of writing diaries.

On the other side, the battle between Sera and the hill giant has come to an end.

"Are you convinced? I ask you whether you are convinced or not!"

The giant barbarian rode on the hill giant and turned the axe handle to smash the hill giant, while the latter could only hold his head with his hands, whimpering and groaning.

"I give in! I admit defeat!"

The hill giant shouted as the tree in his hand was chopped into three pieces by Sera, and he himself was pinned to the ground and beaten. Hill giants were not a very tough race or individual, and they quickly declared their surrender.

"Are you going to attack us again?"

"I don't dare anymore!"

"Are you still going to say that we are thieves?"

"No, you are not thieves!"

"Do you want more food?"

"No! I don't want it anymore!"

Ron: "Wait a minute, Sera! What are you throwing away?! We didn't steal anything from them!"
