"Boom!"
The earth cracked open. Countless thick branches burst forth from the soil, intertwining and rising towards the sky. 597 stones, soil, tree roots—everything was being reorganized and deformed under some irresistible force.
The alien creatures in the Shadow Legion let out piercing screams, flapping their wings in an attempt to escape, only to be entangled by suddenly extending vines and dragged into the forming behemoth.
When the dust settled, a colossal statue, thirty meters tall, stood in the center of the forest.
It is made of twisted trees and boulders, and its shape vaguely resembles a bridge, but it has a human-like outline and disproportionate limbs.
Its "head" is an arched stone block covered with ancient runes, with eerie green flames burning in two hollows.
London Bridge...
Kuonji Yuzu softly called out the name of her familiar and lightly leaped onto the giant's shoulder.
Her skirt was lifted by a magical whirlwind, revealing pale skin beneath.
Let them experience the horror of fairy tales.
Chapter 450 Sweep
The Giant of the Bridges let out a deafening roar, a sound like the rumble of hundreds of ancient bridges collapsing at the same time.
It raised its left arm—a massive limb formed from the intertwining of dozens of oak trees—and then slammed it to the ground with a seemingly slow but incredibly swift motion.
"boom!"
The shockwave spread in a ring, instantly turning the nearest dozens of shadowy soldiers into dust.
The samurai's armor was torn to shreds like paper, and the ninjas' pride in speed was meaningless in the face of absolute power.
The little giants tried to resist, but were crushed into mincemeat the moment of contact.
Kuonji Yuzu stood on the giant's shoulder, looking down at the scattered shadow army.
Her demonic eyes were fully activated, with countless tiny runes reflected in her pupils.
"This is just a warning."
Her voice was amplified by magic, echoing through the forest.
"I can pretend that nothing happened after I leave Misaki City."
Her answer was an arrow shot from the shadows.
The arrow was coated with some kind of substance that suppressed magic, but it was deflected by an invisible barrier half a meter away from her.
"madness."
Kuonji Yuju sighed.
2 Yin Shanwu M wept and said, “London Bridge, continue.”
The giant raised its arm again, this time with even greater ferocity.
It was no longer content with simply smashing; it began to sweep across.
Trees were uprooted, and deep furrows were plowed into the ground.
The Blackwing aliens attempted to attack from the air, but were grabbed by the giant's suddenly extended right arm and crushed like insects.
However, just when Kuonji Yuju thought victory was assured, a sudden change occurred.
When the Bridge Giant slammed its arm into the ground for the third time, it did not retract as easily as it had the previous two times.
Some kind of black substance seeped from the ground and wrapped around the giant's wrist.
At first it was just a small patch, but soon more and more shadowy soldiers rushed toward the giant's arm, turning into viscous shadows the moment they made contact.
"This is..."
Kuonji Yuju squinted her eyes.
She saw the shadowy soldiers, known as trolls, disappearing into the darkness one by one.
They abandoned their human form and existed purely as shadows, yet they were even more troublesome than when they were in their physical form.
The giant's arms began to sink, as if being dragged toward the earth's core by countless unseen hands.
"A contest of strength?"
Kuonji Yuju gave a cold laugh.
"Do you think you can defeat the rules of fairy tales just by sheer numbers?"
She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and began chanting another incantation.
At the same time, the bridge giant roared angrily, trying to break free of its restraints.
Its other arm slapped the ground, causing the trees within a hundred meters to shake violently with each strike.
The Shadow Legion paid a heavy price. Every time a Titan struggled, dozens of soldiers were shattered by the impact.
More shadowy figures followed one after another to fill the void. They knew nothing of fear, only how to carry out their master's orders.
Kuonji Yuju's chanting grew louder and louder, and the runes in her demon eyes flowed faster and faster.
The magic in the forest began to swirl around her, forming an invisible vortex.
The giant, assembled from wood and stone, landed with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Kuonji Yuzu stood on the shoulder of the Bridge Giant, her long black hair dancing wildly in the night wind, her amber-colored demonic eyes fixed on the approaching shadowy army.
"Come on, let me see just how tenacious you shadows can be."
She murmured softly, her slender fingers tracing across her chest, and a complex magic circle lit up on the giant's chest.
The Shadow Legion's troll squad launched the first attack, those monsters, nearly three meters tall, wielding arms as thick as stone pillars, fearlessly charging towards the Bridge Giant.
Their attacks are simple and brutal—a single punch shatters the concrete wall like paper.
"boom!"
The giant of the bridge raised his massive arm to block, and the wooden and stone structure groaned under the strain.
Kuonji Yuju bit her lower lip, feeling the magic power draining away at an alarming rate.
"It's more troublesome than I expected..."
She quickly changed her hand gestures, and the giant swept out with her other hand, knocking the three trolls away.
More shadowy soldiers had already rushed up, over the corpses of their comrades.
A piercing shriek echoed through the night sky, and swarms of night bats obscured the moonlight like dark clouds.
They swooped down, their target Kuonji Aryu, who stood on the shoulders of a giant.
Annoying flies.
Kuonji Yuzu was forced to distract herself as the Bridge Giant raised his hand to protect her, while simultaneously using his other hand to fight off the enemies on the ground.
Chapter 451 Gradual Collapse
The Shadow Legion's coordination was flawless. The samurai soldiers, wielding sharp longswords, inflicted wounds on the giant's legs.
The ninja group used their agility to move around, throwing explosives that detonated at the giant's joints, scattering wood chips and rubble everywhere.
"This can't go on..."
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Kuonji Temple.
She sensed the Bridge Giant's body gradually disintegrating—cracks spread from his legs to his waist, and he had lost two fingers from his right arm.
Worse still, her magical reserves are rapidly dwindling.
As a magician, she knew very well that she could only last for ten more minutes at most.
"What on earth is Aozaki Aoko doing...?"
Kuonji Yuju subconsciously looked in the direction of the Western-style mansion, and just then, a streak of blue light pierced the night sky.
"boom!"
The explosion of the magic bullet silenced the battlefield.
Kuonji Aryu's demonic eyes immediately spotted that familiar figure.
Aozaki Aoko was rushing towards the battlefield at an astonishing speed, with azure magic power 003 flowing around her.
"Aozaki Aoko——!"
Kuonji Aryu's call pierced through the clamor of the battlefield.
Aozaki Aoko paused in her tracks, looked up, and met the gaze of Kuonji Yuzu.
In just a moment, she understood her roommate's intention—this was not a cry for help, but a signal of retaliation.
"Understood!"
Aozaki Aoko muttered to herself, then changed direction without hesitation and rushed towards the mansion.
Hang in there, there's a pearl at Kuonji Temple!
She rushed into the mansion's main gate; the familiar corridor now seemed strangely long.
Shiraishi's reminder echoed in her ears.
"Abandoning complex spells, focusing on enhancing magical power..."
The magical energy circulation within Aozaki Aoko accelerated, and her speed increased again, almost transforming her into a streak of blue light.
"boom!"
She kicked open the forbidden door deep inside the room of Kuonji Yuusu.
A thick fog suddenly billowed out, and a pair of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen gleaming in the fog.
Rosehound!
Aozaki Aoko suppressed her instinctive fear and spoke with a firm voice.
"Your master needs help outside!"
The thick fog churned for a moment, then transformed into a white torrent that rushed out of the room. The wind pressure it created as it passed by Aozaki Aoko caused her to stumble a few steps.
"What a... dangerous guy."
Aozaki Aoko wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, turned around, and chased after him.
