Part 5 The Red Priest Chapter 173 – Tacit Cooperation

　　Hearing the Chief’s words, “Shepherd” Lovia immediately raised her question:

　　”Just like those two ‘Silver Knights’ at the main gate of the royal court, they won’t actively attack targets outside their range?”

　　Colin Iliad nodded gently:

　　”At least that’s what it’s shown so far.”

　　They were both close to the exit, and the guards outside the door were unresponsive.

　　This meant that the other party was not truly intelligent or spiritual, and was likely just activated somehow.

　　Without waiting for the other team members to speak, Colin “The Demon Hunter” continued:

　　”Huge, heavy ……”

　　After obtaining the appropriate information, the Silver City people tacitly grouped into teams, one team distanced themselves from the exit but facing the gate, protected by the “shepherd” elder Lovia as a bait to attract the guards, and the other team received the appropriate holy oils from the chief and applied them to the ground at the location of the exit, holding the “No Dark Cross”. Haim, who held the “Cross of Darkness”, and Colin, the “Demon Hunter”, each took one side of the gate and covered themselves with stone pillars.

　　Then, Colin Iliad slid a straight sword back into his back, pulled out a metal vial, and gulped down the liquid inside.

　　His aura quickly faded and was no longer noticeable, and if one did not look closely, one would not be able to detect his presence at all.

　　This is another setup, Heinem in the light, “Demon Hunter” in the dark.

　　After waiting for more than ten seconds, “Shepherd” Lovia poked her right hand forward and grabbed it out of thin air.

　　Her long silver-gray hair was dyed deep blue at this moment.

　　The sound of the wind stirred, and the gray-blue door opened with a clang.

　　Immediately afterward, stomping footsteps rang out, heavy enough to make the entire hall shake.

　　A “giant” carrying a halberd and covered with iron armor then ran towards the hall.

　　Its exposed parts had no sense of flesh and blood, and seemed to be made of metal, and behind its black mask was a deep red glow.

　　If it didn’t move and stood there, it wouldn’t be any different from a statue.

　　Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

　　The shaking of the hall became more and more pronounced, and the giant statue violently threw the halberd in its hand, causing it to kick up a hurricane and run towards Derek and the others who were facing the doorway.

　　Bang!

　　That halberd struck an invisible barrier, and illusory ripples swept away rapidly.

　　In front of “Shepherd” Lovia, there was an illusory figure in silver full body armor at some point, and it plunged the huge sword in its hand into the gap in the floor.

　　Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!

　　Without pausing, the giant statue ran into the hall.

　　Just then, there was a piercing sound from under its feet, and its huge body jerked back.

　　It stepped on the place where the holy oil was applied.

　　As the giant statue slipped, the crimson light in its eyes surged, and invisible power surfaced to hold it in place.

　　Suddenly, a hot white light burst out from the Darknessless Cross, hitting the statue’s one eye exactly where it should be.

　　The crimson color dimmed.

　　”Colin the Demon Hunter leapt up, holding the same straight sword in both hands, and stabbed downward like an eagle pouncing on its prey.

　　Slices of morning sunlight protruded and converged on the straight sword, making it so large that it exceeded Colin Iliad’s height.

　　With a poof, the bright straight sword pierced into the gap in the giant statue’s face armor, piercing into its eye.

　　The raging morning sun rushed in with it.

　　Colin Iliad gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and applied another downward thrust, drawing the straight sword as the giant statue fell to the ground with a thud and leaping to the side.

　　The giant statue lay in the doorway, the sound of rupture continued to emanate from its body, and eventually lost all movement.

　　”Demon Hunter,” Colin said after a few seconds without looking at it again, turning to look beyond the gate:

　　”There are no other guards left to deal with the statue for now.”

　　Derek and the others quickly gathered around and skillfully searched the giant statue for materials.

　　Klein above the gray mist observed the entire process of the battle and deeply appreciated the tacit cooperation of the Silver City crowd.

　　According to his observation, the giant statue was made of some kind of metal, and its surface was covered with armor with amazing defensive power, so it could not care about most of the attacks during the battle, making it very difficult to deal with.

　　Moreover, the giant statue itself did not have a “spirit”, that is to say, it was immune to the extraordinary abilities of the corresponding domains, such as “manipulating the threads of the spirit body”, “hypnosis”, “frenzy”, “hypnosis”, and so on, “Frenzy” and “Nightmare”, it was like a walking fortress, which made people suspect that it was the work of the “Goddess of Harvest”.

　　Klein asked himself if he were in his place, in the case that the core ability of the “Trickster” could not work, he could only rely on the ability of the two secret puppets to deal with the giant statue, and he did not know how the battle would turn out to be.

　　The “Twist” and “Chaos” of the “Fallen Count” might work wonders, but it might not be able to be resolved as quickly as the Silver City Exploration Team… …A well-coordinated team of extraordinary people can really bring out the effect of “1 plus 1 is greater than 2″…Well, that chief’s grasp of timing and the degree of determination in attacking are also key……… Klein nodded his head slightly, and inwardly, he felt a pang of appreciation. Appreciation.

　　If this is really a live broadcast, he may not be able to resist rewarding it at this moment.

　　Of course, the odds were that it was just a thought.

　　After taking the most valuable thing on the giant statue, the Silver City Exploration Team continued onward, following the corridor outside and entering another hall.

　　In this way, they traveled back and forth between the palaces, towers, and steps of the different corridors, trying to find more clues and the entrance to the “sea” described by the outsider Little Jack.

　　–Regardless of whether or not they believed the boy’s words, they all unconsciously hoped that there was a deep blue sea behind the Giant’s Court, and that on the other side of the sea, there was a land where human beings flourished, where monsters didn’t hide in the depths of darkness, where the sun rose and set normally, and where lightning and lightening were visible, and the sun was shining. The sun rises and sets normally, lightning only appears before it rains, and people harvest all kinds of food.

　　During this process, the Silver City exploration team did not encounter many enemies, most of them were the kind of revitalized statues, a small number of evil spirits generated by the combination of the leftover emotions and the power of the dusk, the latter facing the “darkness-free cross” almost no resistance.

　　”This is also normal ……” The “Fool” Klein above the gray fog nodded gently, accepting the current situation, “After the fall of the Giant King, this place already belongs to the Ancient Sun God, and it is the only place that belongs to the Ancient Sun God, and it is the only place that belongs to the Ancient Sun God. After the fall of the Giant King, this place already belongs to the Ancient Sun God, and it is unlikely that a large number of Giant powerhouses and magical items will survive. …… When the Angel Kings conspire here, unnecessary troubles will surely be eliminated ahead of time. …… By the time the Ancient Sun God has been eaten up, this place will belong to no one in particular. Or be deserted ……

　　”All in all, not having too many demigods and items is predictable, well, without the ‘No Dark Cross’, those evil spirits would have been very troublesome, there’s no way that the Silver City Exploration Squad could have gone so smoothly, and it simply wouldn’t have been able to advance to the extent it is now, unless an angel had led the way or activated the ‘0’ level seals ……”

　　When the “No Dark Cross” was back in Derek’s hands, the Silver City exploration team was already very close to the tallest building in the “Giant’s Court”.

　　The dusk glow here was so strong that it seemed to come from that palace.

　　”After leaving this hall, we should be on the side of the Giant King’s residence.” “Demon Hunter” Colin discerned the location and direction and pointed ahead.

　　”Shepherd,” Elder Lovia nodded, and there was finally more unquenchable hope in her expression.

　　Derek’s heart beat faster, no longer able to control his excitement, and then, he was “calmed” by Antilina.

　　Adjusting their emotions, the Silver City crowd entered the hall in front of them and saw a painting-like object hanging on both sides.

　　These “paintings” depicted different giants, some holding bone flutes, some carrying wind chimes, and some holding seven-stringed lutes tall enough to match their height.

　　With the arrival of the Silver City exploration team, the giants on the paintings suddenly came to life, playing bone flutes, wind chimes, or strings, creating a beautiful music.

　　The dusk glow in the hall became a little brighter, and one food after another surfaced on the long tables around them, which glowed with mouthwatering oil and emitted a very seductive aroma.

　　Roast chicken …… roast goose …… fish coated with honey …… This is the dinner of the “Giant’s Court”? But the size of those chickens, geese, goats and fish would not be too big …… the work of the “Goddess of Harvest”? Klein took a glance and confirmed that the food appeared to be illusionary effects, after all, the “Giant’s Court” has long since run out of ingredients, and there is also a lack of people who can imagine or create.

　　”This, this is normal food?” Heinem, who was carrying “Thor’s Roar”, gazed straight at one of the long tables, and the knot in his throat wriggled up and down a bit.

　　”Maybe.” Derek huffed and stifled a swallow.

　　They’d never seen normal food other than black-faced grass, and the flesh of those monsters baked in different colors yet just as unpalatable, even leading to poisoning.

　　”Demon hunters,” Colin sighed as he stared for a few seconds:

　　”It’s all fake, don’t touch it or unnecessary accidents may occur.”

　　The Silver City crowd beyond Lovia withdrew their gaze with difficulty and followed the Chief, all the way to the exit of this hall.

　　After some scrutiny, Colin Iliad thrust his twin swords into the ground and reached out to push open the heavy door.

　　A gap appeared with it, and a more intense orange-red light reflected in.

　　As the gap grew larger and larger, a palace towering into the clouds became clear.

　　Then, the Silver City crowd heard a clattering sound.

　　At this time, Colin drew a straight sword and suppressed the restlessness that welled up in the hearts of his players.

　　He whirled around and drew another straight sword, walking slowly out of the hall, with Derek and the others following cautiously and carefully.

　　Thoroughly bathed in dusk, they simultaneously glanced to their left, where a row of stone pillars spelled out a handrail.

　　Beyond the handrail was a pervasive orange and red cloud, and on the far side of the cloud was a gently surging, unseen deep blue that made a clattering sound.

　　Without needing anyone to explain, the members of the Silver City Exploration Squad simultaneously remembered the accounts in the books and Little Jack’s description, and a term flashed within their minds with it:

　　”the sea”.
