When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 796: Chapter 177: Night Fiend’s Dragon-Slaying Curse Chapter 796: Chapter 177: Night Fiend’s Dragon-Slaying Curse Although Aurigen didn’t need weapons, merely using his bare hands he could smash huge meteorites.

But having a suitable weapon or not makes a world of difference for a warrior—

When Aurigen previously leaped to shatter meteorites, he left behind only an afterimage; but now as he gripped the weapon and dived towards the earth, he transformed into a fierce and dangerous deep blue Thunder!

“Thank you, Your Excellency!”

After landing, Aurigen took a deep breath and looked up to shout this out loud.

His hands tightly gripped the Thunder Javelin, treating it with immense care.

As a warrior proficient in polearm weapons, he possessed the ability “Weapon Mastery: Polearm.” The moment he grasped the weapon, he instantly comprehended all its abilities.

It was as if Aurigen had wielded this weapon through countless battlefields in the past, as the techniques and tricks for using it flooded into his mind in an instant.

“What a powerful javelin!”

He exclaimed loudly, “Not only does it possess the mighty Power of Storm Thunder, but also the Power of Sin Punishment that only a Penalty Demon would have!”

It was like a swordmaster who had always used an iron blade, one day finally obtained the Holy Sword that could support his swordsmanship—

Previously, even though he clearly could fight the Giant on equal terms, and was far superior in skill, he found himself at a disadvantage due to the inferiority of his own weapon.

This left Aurigen feeling quite discontent.

And now…

“With this…

I just might be able to defeat that Giant!”

This thought sprang to Aurigen’s mind.

He was a rather reserved and cautious person.

When such a thought emerged in his heart, it meant that he was almost entirely sure of it!

He followed after Aiwass, who was flying in the sky, turning into a nimble bolt of lightning, winding through the dense forest still ablaze and smoking, and entered the central battlefield where meteorites were continuously pounding the ground, causing it to vibrate violently like a trampoline!

At that moment, the Night Fiend happened to catch Uther Galoch’s charging slash, and was sent flying backward.

A red Thunder descended from the sky, striking the Wildfire Giant Uther Galoch.

Uther Galoch let out a painful yet exhilarating moan, his entire body swelling up further.

His original height of over ten meters was already considered quite tall among the Giants.

But now his height increased rapidly, growing at least four to five meters to almost reach twenty meters tall.

For the Giant race, whose height equated to strength, this meant an increase of roughly one-third of their basic physical attributes.

The dark red flames burning on his body grew ever more wild, making him now look like a demon lord capable of ending the world—a nearly twenty-meter-tall humanoid monster, muscles bulging, burning with dark red flames hot enough to melt metal.

It wasn’t just about defeating the enemy…

even launching an attack on him seemed impossible; simply approaching him to a certain degree would be enough for the high temperature to scald flesh.

And if one were to touch the layer of “Wildfire” flowing on his skin’s surface, be it spells, curses, or metal, they would disintegrate.

Only at the moment when he and the Night Fiend attacked each other—

When Uther Galoch’s attack hit the Night Fiend, the Night Fiend’s Curse also came within close enough range to avoid being consumed by the Wildfire.

That was why the Night Fiend’s Curse succeeded at that moment.

—It was the high-level Curse called the Implosive Curse!

Known as the “Dragon-Slaying Curse,” it was a curse reserved for large creatures like Dragons.

It planted a curse within a large target’s body that would absorb pain and grow larger with every effective attack the creature sustained, while also making the target’s exterior more fragile.

When the curse grew large enough, it would rapidly expand and explode, drawing strength from within the body!

It was when the freshly empowered by Divine Arts Uther Galoch, aiming to continue his chase after the Night Fiend who was bent backward and tumbling away…

A wild bolt of lightning skimmed along the ground towards him—

“…Is it you?”

Uther Galoch, with his keen senses, recognized the distinctly different aura of Aurigen.

He reached out his hand, attempting to seize Aurigen.

Aurigen’s heart suddenly tightened.

—The Giant’s agile movements, nimble posture, and intricate techniques were completely different from his earlier clumsy self when wielding a poleaxe!

Only now did Aurigen realize why Uther Galoch had discarded his Transcendent axe, capable of withstanding his flames and matching his stature.

Was that Giant actually skilled in unarmed combat?

Aurigen’s charge abruptly ceased; he suddenly raised his javelin, using its end to break his own charge.

In that moment of deceleration, he narrowly avoided Uther Galoch’s grasp.

Immediately, Aurigen twisted his body, using the momentum to leap up, and struck fiercely!

His blade suddenly cleaved downwards, accompanied by the stench of scorching and flashes of electricity, heavily slashing toward Uther Galoch’s outstretched right hand!

It happened faster than it takes to tell.

Aurigen’s silhouette was like a bizarre phantom, effortlessly drifting off the full-speed charging path in the blink of an eye, instantly separating from Uther Galoch!

Crack—

When the blade of the javelin met the fingertips, there wasn’t the sound of tearing, but rather a loud noise like that of an electric cutter.

No one expected Uther Galoch’s normally tough skin to be as vulnerable as butter in front of the Thunder Javelin!

The lightning could be seen leaping and spreading from within Uther Galoch’s skin.

Blood splattered, and two of Uther Galoch’s fingers flew high into the air—

And the wound was spraying out burning poison fire like a high-pressure water hose due to the blood pressure.

It wasn’t just Uther Galoch—even Aurigen hadn’t realized his attack could be so effective.

Both of them were even momentarily stunned.

But Aiwass understood why.

He still remembered how the future Uther Galoch became Cardinal Loki—

After he repented for his sins, the Candle Master gave him a chance.

He allowed him to transform his sins into Sin Thorns and ignite them with his Wildfire.

And those Sin Thorns were so dense and numerous—that they kept bursting forth for a full three hours, causing Uther Galoch to be burned to death by his own fire over ten thousand times.

If one death was considered a “single share of Sin Thorn,” then Uther Galoch’s body had at least ten thousand sinners’ worth of sin.

As of now, Uther Galoch, who was still the Supreme Heaven Shepherd, certainly wouldn’t voluntarily turn his sins into Sin Thorns…@@novelbin@@

but his body was still laden with this massive “Power of Sin”!

—And the “Punishment” feature of the Thunder Javelin was precisely a special attack against this kind of power!

Even though Aurigen didn’t understand why the weapon was so effective against Uther Galoch, he didn’t miss the opportunity for battle.

In the span of a moment, Aurigen split into six phantoms, along with his own body, slashing toward the giant’s body from seven different directions!

—Sevenfold Slash!

In an instant, six streaks of lightning flashed from different directions, shooting straight up into the sky!

Uther Galoch’s body swayed, struck repeatedly by invisible heavy blows, spattering blood like waterfalls!

The curse from the Night Fiend made Uther Galoch’s body more fragile the more it was wounded.

As the sixth strike landed, Uther Galoch’s expression suddenly twisted in agony.

His abdomen swelled up high, as if he were ten months pregnant.

“Ah…”

He cried out in pain.

But he could barely manage to let out the cry.

His body swelled like it was being inflated, making movement difficult.

Uther Galoch keenly sensed the source of the curse.

He looked towards the Night Fiend.

The Night Fiend was looking back at him with a cold sneer.

In front of her was a disc absorbing all light like a black hole, and the Night Fiend’s left hand was placed within it, continuously channeling her curse power into the disc.

And at the other end…

Uther Galoch suddenly realized.

…Undoubtedly, the other end must be connected inside his own body!

In the instant when the Night Fiend was knocked away, she had already left a brand inside him.

And now, the Night Fiend didn’t need to approach him again to continuously catalyze the curse within Uther Galoch!

At this moment, it was as if he had been continuously cursed by the Night Fiend since the fight began.

“A mere demon…”

…was only a natural-born Phantom Demon.

How could there be such a degree of combat consciousness?!

Uther Galoch found it somewhat incomprehensible.
