Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 108: Bloody Sea Battle

The giants waved their arms, and under Seven's command, they pulled up the bricks and tiles of the house and threw them around.

The chains snapped, and countless Boren soldiers screamed in pain as their bones and tendons were broken.

At the same time, countless magic-destroying crossbow arrows flew towards the giant from every hidden corner in all directions!

After countless baptisms of killing, Seven's control and command of the Titans is beyond description.

All the giants walked along a wide street chosen by Seven, with fewer chains.

Of course, these giants did not gather together to serve as sitting ducks.

Except for the giant guards in the center, the other giants are scattered in several directions around, forming a protective posture that is close to but not close to each other.

They killed all the soldiers from all directions and destroyed one "Giant Butcher" heavy crossbow after another that was hidden in the corner.

Without the ordinary bow and arrow of the "Giant Butcher", there is no threat to Seven hiding under the giant's helmet!
"boom!"

Another house was knocked down by the giant.

Among them, the Boren soldiers died with screams.

The giant reached out and grabbed a person, then put him into his mouth...

After the chewing sound, a piece of armor fragment mixed with flesh, blood and bones was spit out to the ground by the giant.

The giant turned around, raised his foot, and tried to step on the other humans below.

But at this moment, behind the half-collapsed building behind him, a shadow wrapped in star-like silver light stepped on the collapsed stone wall and tiles and jumped high.

The Star Killing Sword in Lake's hand emitted a radiant light several feet long at the moment it broke through the air.

It was hard to tell whether it was the shadow of a sword or starlight, but it passed through the giant's neck with precision.

The sword light pierced through the giant's joints accurately.

The impenetrable skin and flesh became as fragile as cheese under the Star Killer Sword. Lake flipped lightly in the air and stepped on the giant's head.

In an instant, a large amount of blood spurted out and was split into two in front of Lake under the blocking of Starlight.

Under the heavy stomping, the giant's head was separated from his neck.

There was still a look of surprise on that ugly face!
"First one, not a bad start?"

【Hunting Giants 1/12】

Lake was on the other side. When the next giant's eyes moved over, he flashed and disappeared into the collapsed ruins.

On the other side, in the center of a city square, the statue of an armored king had been smashed into pieces.

The pool below was already stained with blood.

A young Boren soldier, his face pale, saw all his colleagues being crushed into a bloody mud by the tall giant in an instant, which was seriously beyond his psychological endurance!
His sword had long since disappeared.

"Ah...don't...don't come over here, I surrender, surrender, don't kill me--"

The young soldier sat on the ground and retreated in embarrassment.

There was a strange smell coming from his crotch.

But the giant still walked forward with a grim smile, his hands still dripping with blood pressing down, and a shadow loomed over the young soldier's head.

“Please, don’t…”

He was trembling all over, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only helplessly shield his eyes with his hands, tears of despair flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Although he was a Boren, this was his first time seeing a giant.

The passion to fight the giant to death in order to protect Boren has disappeared at this moment.

Under the wall of death and fear, very few people can maintain their original intentions...

But for a long time, death still did not come.

There was only a sudden sound of shattering, the sound of wind, and... the roar of the giant!

"what happened?"

He opened his eyes again, and the sight before him made him open his eyes wide.

A patch of green and red vines spread from the giant's feet, wrapping around his body. While the giant was distracted by the vines, a girl in a red cloak, shrouded in starlight, had already leaped onto the back of the giant's neck like lightning.

The star-shaped shadows of the Star Killing Sword swirled, raising a bloody mist.

The giant's hand in the air dropped limply, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang. The ground around him trembled, as if there was a small earthquake.

"Stand up. If you are injured, run over there. There should be your people there, and there should be a military doctor."

The soldier stared in amazement at the figure shrouded in starlight.

The ethereal voice is like an angel.

The long sword that was like flowing water and stars reminded the soldiers of Bo Ren of a legend they had heard since childhood.

"Are you...the hero who came to save us?"

"hero?"

Lake was stunned for a moment. She looked at the corpses of the Boren soldiers scattered all around her. "No, you are more like heroes than me. Those who charge forward to protect others without fear of death are all heroes."

As she spoke, Lake's figure once again turned into a starry shadow and flew away into the distance.

Suddenly, the soldier seemed to see a wolf-shaped shadow, following the meteor-like figure.

"Are we... heroes too?"

The soldier repeated it, remembering that he had thought the same thing before the war.

But when he really faced the figure that ate flesh and blood, was invulnerable to swords and guns, and was like a city wall, he understood the heaviness of the word hero.

He stood up trembling. Although he was covered in blood in the previous battle, he was not actually injured to the point of disability.

He felt his fear seemed to fade.

No - more like... the body gets used to them.

He was silent, bent down to pick up a usable long sword on the ground, listened to the footsteps of the giant in the distance, and staggered over.

"Just like in the stories of our childhood, there are angels like that, standing beside us..."

He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and his steps became faster and faster until he was running. "If humans can win once, they can win a second time!"

【Hunting Giants 2/12】

"It's the second giant, Lake, can your body still bear it?"

"It's very easy. It's like this sword is providing energy to my body. Running like this is no problem. It's only during the battle with the giant that my body was under greater pressure."

As Lake spoke, in the distance, the roar of houses and the sound of giant footsteps grew louder again.
"The interval between each battle is enough for me to recover my strength."

With the help of the Star-Killing Sword, Lake and Poro killed two giants in a row without suffering any damage.

Of course, to achieve this level, the key is to control the timing.

Just like a real hunter, he draws his sword at a certain moment and kills the enemy with one move!
The Star Killing Sword has a great impact on attack and physical strength.

But when it comes to defense, the Star Curtain’s help is not that strong.

This means...

If you want to fully hunt the twelve giants, you must maximize the advantages of your small size and concealment.

Under the command of Seven, the giants advanced very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, they had passed through the outer city of the capital of Boren. Fortunately, most of the residents in the inner city of Boren in this direction had also been evacuated.

Following an order previously issued by the king, the streets of the inner city were also covered with iron chains.

Finally, another giant was dispersed to a relatively distant location by the buildings.

After the giant raised his fist and tore apart the "Giant Butcher" hiding under a building, Lake's meteor-like figure stabbed towards the giant's neck!

"Chong-"

The Star Killing Sword trembled, drawing a line of blood.

【Hunting Giants 3/12】

Lake turned lightly and was about to leave.

But at this moment—the building she was about to step on exploded!
"What!?"

There was a flash of stars in Lake's eyes, and her body moved sideways in the air, avoiding the protruding palm of the giant behind her!
At the same time, countless green and red vines grew from the wreckage of the building, blocking the sight of the attacking giant!
But just when Lake was about to step forward with the sword, the figure of the third giant appeared!
At the moment when Lake started to attack——

The two giants closest to them stopped killing the Boren soldiers without any warning and surrounded them regardless of everything!

A trap!?

The giants have strong vitality, and although Lake has the Star Killing Sword, her own abilities still limit the combat effectiveness she can exert.

This sword pierced the giant's vital point and could easily penetrate the giant's defense.

But if the giant's hands and feet were hit, it would not be so obvious.

"Boom!"

The second giant swung his fist, but it was hit by the magic explosion that Poro fired in secret, and it deflected and hit the stone wall on the other side.

It made a deafening sound.

Lake's cloak flew up in the hurricane created by the giant's fist, and she leaped into the air, revealing a flaw on the giant's neck.

But Lake couldn't cut down the sword.

Because, from not far away, a large piece of stone wall panel thrown by the Giant Guard has flown in front of them!
The air was squeezed and exploded, and the air wave blew up the girl's golden hair.

……

On top of the Giant Guard's head, in the gap of his helmet, is Seven.

"Who is that guy? Is he the foreign aid invited by the old king? He's well hidden... Before today, I had never heard of such information."

There was a hint of coldness in Seven's eyes.

Three giants died at once, and even he had some concerns.

But since that unknown existence didn't kill him directly, it meant that it wasn't yet so powerful that it was unstoppable.

If there really is such a legendary guy like the founder of Boren...

Not to mention the twelve giants, even if there were twice as many, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to enter the city gate of the capital of King Boren!

So he just deliberately used the terrain to leave a giant alone, which was actually a test and an open conspiracy.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we enter the capital, no matter who we are, we won't be able to reverse the demise of Bo Ren."

A strange, magical light flashed in Seven's eyes.

He stroked the long horn of some unknown creature in his hand. A tiny stream of light flowed out from the horn and merged into Seven's body.

The palace was within reach.

Along the way, the corpses of Bo Ren soldiers had formed a sea of ​​blood.

Seven also had some doubts in his heart.

The intensity of the resistance of these Boren soldiers was too great, completely different from the battles in Aim City and other Boren armies!

After the fall of Em City, most of the soldiers who fought hard, except for those who sacrificed their lives to slow down the giants, began to evacuate.

But this time, for some reason, all the Boren soldiers rushed up in groups and died.

This strange feeling even gave Seven some illusions.

Do these kings and their soldiers really think they can kill giants with their toothpick-like swords?
"Heh, as expected of the royal capital. Are you going to...fight a desperate battle?"

As humans died one after another, a bloody mark on his forehead became increasingly solid.

In the center of the royal capital, the locked gates of the imperial palace also collapsed under the power of the giant.

The bodies of countless guards and Boren soldiers were crushed by the giants, forming a bloody road.

Soon, too soon!

Seven frowned. He felt that the deployment of the Boren soldiers along the way was somewhat unreasonable. At first glance, there was no problem, but it was completely different from his previous battle in Em City.

On the way to the palace, the resistance ahead is much smaller than the resistance going to the city and other places.

It was like... the army's defenders were deliberately leading the attack on the palace and hindering the search for civilians.

"Could it be that the old man in the palace has already run away?"

Seven said to himself, and then sneered, "It doesn't matter, the king can escape, but your palace can't escape!"

The giant's footsteps left a line of bloody footprints on the smooth ground of the palace.

At this time, there were seven giants entering the palace, four of whom were outside slaughtering the Boren soldiers who had come from all over the city.

The other three giants smashed open the door of the main hall of the palace and walked in.

The golden and white palace.

The colored glass on all four sides reveals chaotic light and shadow.

Those magical murals, whether of people or gods, flickered in the candlelight.

But what surprised Seven the most was... the king with wrinkles all over his face and white hair and beard sitting on the throne at the top of the hall.

His military uniform was spotless and neat as new, and his silver-gray armor was inlaid with gold silk threads.

The crown on the head is smooth and exquisite.

When he saw the giant, the old king felt no fear or resentment. Instead, he showed an inexplicable calmness, revealing a majesty that truly belonged to a king.

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to see you again.

I was surprised that you didn't run away earlier - I just thought I was going to take over an empty palace." "Well, a few days ago, I did think so, but now..."

But King Boren was not angry at Seven's provocation. His beard moved slightly and he said, "I am the King of Boren, and all my subjects are still fighting.

How could I abandon the city first?"

"Hmm? So it seems I misjudged you earlier?"

Seven's voice came from the head of a giant wearing a helmet, sounding a little surprised. "Your Majesty, what's the point of sitting here alone? If you could pull out that sword, you would probably not be here long ago, right?
Are you going to surrender to me?
If His Majesty the King could come and kowtow, offer the crown, admit his previous mistakes, and then betroth the princess to me—

Perhaps I would even consider letting your other citizens go?"

King Boren heard Seven's voice, but there was still no emotion in his eyes.

Like...some kind of decision has been made.

He stopped looking at the approaching giant and instead looked up at a mural on the highest point of the palace dome.

It depicts a warrior standing on a mountain of giant corpses.

His entire body was overflowing with silver-white starlight as bright as water. He stood upright, like a spear piercing through the clouds. The extremely dazzling silver sword pointed far ahead, pointing to... a giant half-kneeling on the ground, wearing a crown.

Under the brilliant light and shadow, the old King of Boren saw a line of words written in Boren language around the painting.

From the words of the ancestors:
Hold the sword tightly and use your strength to protect this country.

Under the old king's white eyebrows, two tears flowed down along the wrinkles.

He recalled the countless nights when he was young, when he would look up at that line of words, and every generation of the Boren Kings—

Even in my dreams, I want to see the moment when that sword shines again!
but no.

no more!

No matter how much one's swordsmanship is honed, no matter what level one has reached in learning the engraving...

But successive kings were no longer able to use this sword.

It was not until the day before yesterday that the old king saw the brilliant starlight emanating from the sword that had been passed down from generation to generation.

Not in the hands of the royal family, but in the hands of a strange girl.

"I'm sorry, ancestors, but we are unworthy descendants... We all misunderstood. We have misunderstood for a long time."

The old king lowered his eyes, looking at the giant who was getting closer and closer, blocking out the candlelight around him, and gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

This is certainly not the Star Killing Sword, but a replica with a similar engraving to Prince Bo Ren's sword.

The king drew his sword, the blade of which was exquisite and luxurious.

But he certainly understood that when facing a giant, this was no different from a piece of scrap metal.

"Hold the sword tightly, use your strength to protect this country.

So, what you want to tell us is not strength, but... protection!"

The old king suddenly laughed, tears streaming down his face.

"Hahaha--"

He seemed to be laughing at himself - at the moment when he was most likely to draw the sword, he chose selfish desires.

Can a king who doesn't protect his people still be called a king?

The giant in the lead, who was wearing a helmet, raised his hand and grabbed the old king!

At this moment, the old king's sword moved.

But he didn't chop at the giant, instead he cut his own neck sideways.

In an instant, blood spurted out.

"You should be hiding... in this giant's helmet, right? I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"

The king's throat was clogged by the rising blood foam. In his dying moments, he followed his face backwards and looked once again at the mural on the dome that was half-obscured by the giant.

The star-studded sword.

"It's a pity... only three came in."

The next moment, the layers of carvings on the old king’s golden crown instantly emitted a blood-red light!

In the hundred-year history of the Kingdom of Boren, every king has engraved countless array patterns in the palace.

With this...

To guard the royal family and the secrets sealed deep within the palace.

The hub of these formations converges on the crown.

Every generation of kings has the ability to control these formations to some extent.

But their control cannot exceed the carrying limit of the formation.

There is only one situation in which the king will be able to use the array moments in the palace at the cost of all array moments being damaged.

That is, commit suicide, use your own blood and soul to declare the demise of the entire court!
The next moment, in the entire vast palace, the bright and dark carvings on the walls intertwined with each other, and a dazzling red light spread from the king's crown to the surrounding walls.

The glorious royal family of Boren began to show cracks.

Dazzling light burst out from every corner, and the white towers and golden spires began to collapse rapidly...

After the demonic light of the riot faded away, the largest main hall of the palace had been reduced to a scorched ruin!

In the center of the palace ruins, the three-headed giant was lying on the ground.

The surface of their bodies had been blasted with black and red scorch marks by the accumulated energy. They fell to the ground, twitching, without any life left.

The helmeted giant in front of the king's broken throne suffered the strongest impact.

The flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only a huge bone armor standing there.

The helmet it was wearing had already melted faster than the giant's flesh.

But... if the king had really seen the Giant Guard, he would understand that the giant in front of him was not the Giant Guard that Seven was in, but just an ordinary giant... wearing a tattered Giant Guard helmet.

Among the three giants, the one whose body was still relatively intact suddenly moved his charred mouth.

Among them, Seven's voice was heard:

"Oh, I knew you, old man... didn't have any good intentions. Fortunately, fortunately - I almost died!"

Seven's voice could actually be heard from the vocal cords of other giants——

This is something no one could have imagined!

Outside the palace, inside the helmet of the real giant guard, Seven looked at the palace that had turned into ruins, and the astonishment in his eyes gradually faded.

He felt a little cold.

Long ago, when he disguised himself as a soldier to deceive the king, he had already understood the king's character - using the basic skills of a fraudster.

When he was young, this king might have been an ambitious and capable king.

But in his later years, he had apparently become...

It's hard to give up the power in your hands.

Or--

He paid more attention to his royal family than to the people.

When he chose a consort for the princess, he didn't need the wisdom to govern the country, but the strongest warrior...

Why would such a selfish person suddenly decide to sacrifice his own life and die together with someone like Seven?
Undoubtedly, this was the first thing that happened that was beyond Seven's expectations.

But it doesn't matter. The king is dead, but within the palace, the Giant King's heirloom and the legendary sword of the royal family of Boren are still there.

They are all mine.

There is nothing that can stop me anymore!

Seven led the giants and walked towards the palace. After the king's death, the Boren soldiers were still rushing towards the giants, and the "giant butchers" deployed in other parts of the city had also been pushed to the palace.

But without the control of the iron chains, it is extremely difficult for these steel crossbows to hit the giant's weaknesses!
They were slaughtered piece by piece.

Blood seeped into the clean ground of the palace.

Finally, at this moment, the ground began to shake violently!

"Hmm? Is it some kind of hidden formation?"

Seven felt something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it. The king who knew most of the secrets of the Kingdom of Boren was already dead. What else could stop him from... searching inside the palace?
But at this moment, his pupils shrank.

He saw a giant not far away. Suddenly, a hand made of twisted bones stretched out from the ruins under his feet, stretched out, and grabbed the giant's ankle.

Immediately afterwards, the floor in that area collapsed instantly!

A giant made of bones stood up from the space under the palace.

It was a moving colossus, constructed from the skeletons of giants killed by the Kingdom of Boren over the past century. Blood-red carvings seemed to be painted on the surface of its bones, and deep within those carvings...

It seemed like there were countless souls shouting and wailing!
Today, although the number of giants who died was far greater than Commander Ward had expected, the number of Boren people who died under the trampling of giants has exceeded a thousand!
"boom!"

The skeleton giant raised his hand and punched the giant who was pulled to the ground in the face with just one punch!

The giant screamed, blood mixed with his mouth, and several broken teeth flew out!

He struggled hard, punching the skeleton giant that was on top of him, but the skeleton giant had no flesh and blood on his body and was not affected at all!
"This is--"

The shock on Seven's face faded and became gloomy. The blood-red rune on his forehead flashed a faint light.

"I see."

He seemed to have thought of something and uttered a few words in the shadows. For the first time since entering the city, his hands clenched.

The next moment, the giant guard howled, swung the sword in his hand, and rushed towards the skeleton giant!

But then, there was another tremor in the palace crypt.

The second skeleton giant's hand also stretched out from the ground!

The other two giants also went forward. These giants had not fought a life-and-death battle with creatures of the same size as themselves for a long time.

These skeleton giants not only possess the strength of giants, but also have harder bodies and are insensitive to pain!
So, at the beginning of the battle, these giants who had been advancing smoothly all the way were actually at a disadvantage.

Even with two against one, they were still defeated by the Skeleton Giant's massive attack!

Only on the side of the Giant Guards did a stalemate occur!
In a corner of the palace, there is a group of towers that have not collapsed. The top of the central tower, although not the highest, is high enough to overlook the entire palace, and... the scene of the giants fighting.

"Your Majesty, I may have misunderstood you earlier... You are indeed a warrior, and I thought you would surrender the city."

Commander Ward, standing on the tower.

The eye patch on his eye had been removed, and underneath, in the eye socket that should have been empty, an orange-red spherical crystal encased in an engraved pattern was shining.

“Although the number of soldiers killed is much lower than expected, given the current situation, two giant skeleton guards should be enough.

Your Majesty, if you die, don't worry, I will take over this kingdom and let the entire Boren be reborn from the ruins!"

But at this moment, Commander Ward suddenly felt a warning sign -

He dodged quickly, but a feather arrow had already pierced his shoulder!

"what?!"

Commander Ward looked back and dodged the second arrow.

When he saw the appearance of the person coming, his pupils suddenly widened!
The visitor threw down the blood-stained bow and arrow in his hand. The bloody mark on his forehead had a strange halo - it was Seven, who was supposed to be inside the helmet of the Royal Guard Giant!

"Seven? How dare you, a cowardly fraud like you, appear before me!?"

Commander Ward reached back and grabbed the arrow stuck in his shoulder, pulling it out without even frowning, splashing blood. Thanks to the armor, the arrow did not penetrate into his bone marrow.

He drew the rune sword from his waist, held the sword with both hands, tilted the tip of the sword, and pointed it at Seven.

"You are facing a warrior who has fought countless battles against giants and stood out from countless soldiers...

You attacked me alone, without the help of a giant. Your pathetic lie—

Don’t even fool yourself!”

"It's the first time we meet, Commander Ward. I've long heard of your great name."

Seven also pulled out a long sword from his waist that he had picked up from the ground.

But his sword-holding posture, compared to Commander Ward, made him look like a beginner.

"In the beginning, I was just a liar who was ridiculed by everyone, and you have always been the supreme commander who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. I understand.

I used to dream of reaching your position."

Seven struck an extremely ugly power-generating posture.

But Commander Ward no longer showed any contempt, and even showed a hint of fear in his eyes.

He saw that when Seven kicked the ground, an inconspicuous dent appeared on the ground. Seven himself did not have any armor, which meant...

This former con man, whose seemingly ordinary body now appears to possess a gigantic mass!
"General Ward, today, for the first time, I touched the threshold that made countless of my lies come true—

This is indeed much more difficult than simple fraud!
I saw your skeleton giants... I was scared, I was really scared!"

Seven's eyes were filled with undisguised madness. Bloodshot covered the entire whites of his eyes. The dark bags under his eyeballs were trembling, and the sword in his hand was shaking.

"I won't allow you to fail at the last moment. I won't allow you to ruin it!"

After yelling this madly, Seven's expression quickly calmed down.

He asked coldly:
"Now, could you please die here, Commander Ward?"

"Ah."

There was no fluctuation on Commander Ward's face.

He snorted coldly, without saying anything, but just quietly held the two-handed sword, with only one remaining eye, staring at Seven who was rushing towards him without any emotion!
