#488 - Chapter 488 Red Crystal
On the battlefield of Elbaf, enormous shouts and the clang of weapons echoed between the towering cliffs.
The ground was shattered and broken from the intense fighting, as if the earth itself was weeping.
Each giant stood like a mountain, wielding massive axes and longswords amidst the thick battle intent, as if tearing the very air.
“Hah~~”
Loki stood in the center of the battlefield, his gaze icy and resolute.
His arms were stained with blood, his muscles taut as steel from the fierce battle.
Each punch he threw was like a thunderbolt, sending his oncoming enemies flying backwards.
Despite bearing the stigma of patricide, Loki did not flinch in the slightest. His roar was as shocking as a tsunami, his voice lingering over Elbaf for a long time: “Warriors of Elbaf, fight with me! Let those outside the kingdom know what true giant's fury is!”
After the World Government joined the battlefield, he fully grasped the battle situation and continued to recruit the giants aloud.
“Kill!!!”
As Loki's words fell, the giants' morale was somewhat low, but they still surged towards the World Government's forces like a tide, their massive bodies crashing against the entire battlefield like giant waves.
“Hold back their attack, we must perfectly execute the Five Elders' orders!!!”
Even though the World Government's forces were well-equipped and well-trained, they seemed to handle these enraged giants with ease.
On this battlefield, they finally regained their invincible confidence.
The powerful firepower was like a storm hitting rocks in front of the giants' heavy armor, making a clanging sound, effectively shaking the giants' advance.
However, the giants knew that they could not determine the outcome of this battle with anger alone.
Faced with the ever-increasing World Government forces, the giants had to come up with a way to reverse the situation as soon as possible.
“Bring up the other weapons!!!”
Following a giant's order, several giant warriors brought over a huge ballista.
The leading giant personally operated it, forcefully drawing back the arrow that almost only giants could use, and fiercely shot out a long spear soaked in poison.
“Whoosh!”
The arrow streaked across the sky like a shooting star, instantly piercing through several enemy soldiers, and crashed to the ground with a thick, bloody aura.
“This is all going to end.”
The giant looked coldly at his results, but felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.
The World Government's reinforcements were arriving so quickly, and the battlefield had become almost impenetrable. He began to suspect that this was a carefully planned trap.
Clearly, the other side was not just trying to defeat the giants, but also trying to use him to control the entire Elbaf.
“Hmm!?”
Just as Loki was charging on the battlefield, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind. He turned his head sharply and saw a World Government general quietly approaching with a team of God's Knights warriors.
They held specially made cold weapons, the blades of which gleamed with a strange light, obviously not ordinary weapons.
A fierce look flashed in Loki's eyes as he raised his massive palm and smashed it towards the giants, a mountain-collapsing force swept over them, then his eyes stared intently at those from the World Government.
Compared to the giants' attacks, he distrusted these World Government people even more.
“Is that all you've got?”
However, the World Government general was not flustered, but instead revealed a sneer.
Just as Loki's giant palm was about to fall, he smiled contemptuously at the giants and waved one hand quickly, throwing out a crystal that shimmered with a strange light.
The crystal bloomed with dazzling light in the air, and Loki's body suddenly stiffened, as if an invisible hand was grabbing him from the depths of his heart, causing his movements to slow down for a moment.
“This is?!”
He felt a great threat coming towards him.
“Loki?!”
The surrounding giants saw his strange appearance and cast questioning glances at the World Government people.
“Could it be that those World Government people...”
They felt itchy on their heads, as if they were about to grow brains.
But what they didn't know was that the power of the crystal's light was not just to disrupt Loki's movements, it also had a real power that had not yet erupted.
That power seemed to be brewing an even greater force, and a strong sense of crisis forced Loki to give up resisting.
Loki's consciousness was in chaos, he gritted his teeth, trying to get rid of the power that brought him serious threat.
His body gradually felt a burst of stinging pain, and images of his father's death flashed in his mind, his eyes filled with disappointment and pain, like needles piercing into his heart.
He could almost hear his father's voice: “Loki, the sins you bear will cost the entire Elbaf…”
“No! I am for the future of Elbaf!”
Loki roared, his eyes turning blood red with anger. He clenched his fists suddenly, wanting to move his body quickly.
Under the threat of death, he straightened his chest again, and used all his strength to wave the weapon in his hand again, the huge ax blade flashing with a cold light in the air.
With Loki's outburst, the situation on the battlefield reversed again.
Loki's voice echoed again on the battlefield: “I am the prince of Elbaf! I fight for freedom! I fight for the future!”
Each of his words was like a hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.
Although the World Government's forces were powerful, their lines finally showed signs of loosening in the face of this fearless madness.
Topman Warcury stared at the battlefield, his eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth carrying a hint of imperceptible coldness and disappointment.
He had thought that the explosion of the red crystal would be enough to crush Loki, or even turn the entire battlefield into ruins, instantly making the resistance meaningless.
But when the flames of the explosion gradually dissipated, he was a little surprised by the figure that still stood tall in the smoke.
“The DYNA rock explosion was actually dodged?”
He murmured in a low voice, his tone containing a bit of unwillingness and a hint of doubt.
Once this material comes into contact with air, it will cause a violent explosion, and its destructive power is enough to flatten mountains and overturn sea areas. It is one of the ultimate weapons used by the World Government to deal with powerful enemies.
But now, Loki was able to survive this devastating explosion, which made him feel that things were getting a little out of control.
Topman Warcury's gaze became even more gloomy, and he realized that this giant prince was not as easy to deal with as expected.
At the moment of the red crystal explosion, Loki seemed to have sensed the danger in advance, and his body dodged away at an astonishing speed.
Although he did not completely avoid the sweeping shock wave, he used his huge battle axe to block most of the impact at the last moment, and unloaded the destructive force to the surrounding stone walls and ground.
