This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 466: The demise of giant civilization

It’s not that Amber has never fought against powerful creatures.

He even fought against dragons, and the feeling was just so-so.

But the three giants in front of him gave Amber a completely different feeling. Even though they were not as big as dragons, they gave Amber a much greater threat than dragons.

The premonitions of the prophet are often very accurate.

At the moment of the battle, Arthur Ryan was swept by a giant sword and flew more than ten meters away.

Although he immediately stabilized his body and fought with the giant again.

That was Arthur Ryan!

As for the other two giants, they were not polite. They aimed at Ariel with their hammers, as if they wanted to compete with her to see whose hammer was more powerful.

In the end, only one was left swinging an axe and rushed towards Amber.

The giant axe was swung out, carrying violent thunder and howling wind, as well as the momentum of destroying the world.

Amber Xiu stopped there as if he was scared, but when the axe cut his body, it only hit a phantom like mist.

At this moment, he cast the haze, clone and phantom steps.

Thanks to the gift of the Elf Queen, the power of the legendary ranger not only made his archery more accurate, but also enhanced Amber Xiu's casting speed.

The giant axe left a deep mark on the ground, embedded in the ground, and then was pulled out again by the charging giant and continued to rush towards Amber Xiu.

Amber Xiu was now very fortunate that this axe giant did not learn Gareth's chain knife, otherwise he could pick up the weapon again and throw it at him with a casual pull, then Amber Xiu would really have to run for his life.

Phantom Step was cast again, and Amber Xiu was already behind the axe giant. These small spells were not worth mentioning for Amber Xiu now, and then he raised his hand and cast two acceleration spells, which fell on Arthur Ryan and Ariel respectively.

The formation of the warrior, mage and priest seemed to be forcibly dispersed by the three giants, but Amberxiu still played his role as a mage.

This is the ease of an experienced adventurer.

The warrior, mage and priest trio does not mean that the warrior stands in front to take damage, while the mage and priest stand behind to cast spells steadily.

In previous adventures, there would not be a warrior who could really protect the mage tightly. Whether it was a hidden arrow or a charge, all kinds of accidents would interrupt the original formation.

At this time, as a mage, do you really wait for others to rescue you? Isn't that waiting to die?

So any mage who has been in the game for a few years knows what to do in a chaotic battlefield. As long as you are not a mage of the energy system who can avoid damage to friendly forces, you should focus on assistance.

The phantom step ran around the field, and the auxiliary spells were thrown out one by one.

The acceleration spell blesses teammates, and a series of control spells such as blindness, charm, and petrification are thrown to see the effect.

As a result, Amberxiu was embarrassed to find that the resistance of these giants seemed to be very high, and these control spells were all ineffective.

After careful observation, Amber found that these giants were not normal creatures at all.

Their bodies seemed to be similar to the materials used to make the arches, with pits and holes but extremely hard. Arthur Ryan's long sword could not cause any damage to them. Ariel's lightning had no effect at all. These giants could move freely in the thunder, regardless of whether her hammer was entangled with lightning.

However, the speed was not bad. The axe giant could not keep up with Amber's multiple flashes, so he simply gave up Amber and rushed towards Ariel, wanting to deal with this woman who looked the weakest first.

"Big guy, high resistance, strong strength... may not be without weaknesses!"

Amber calmly threw a spell in the direction of the axe giant's charge - Grease!

A large piece of yellow grease exploded, covering the ground with a diameter of more than ten meters.

The axe giant stepped on it, and his body slipped uncontrollably and fell to the ground. The earth was shaken, and the axe in his hand was accidentally thrown out.

No matter how strong the magic resistance is, it is useless. Grease does not care about magic resistance. If you can't stand steadily, you will definitely fall to the ground.

For the sake of safety, Amber Xiu also threw two dice of fate to ensure that the giant would fall to the ground.

And his axe that was thrown away fell right in front of Amber Xiu.

Without thinking, Amber Xiu used the Feather Falling Technique and the Mage's Hand to directly stuff the huge axe into the private space.

Without weapons, the threat of this giant was directly reduced by half.

The axe giant struggled to get up, but his body was too big, and his movements were a bit clumsy. He crawled in a pile of grease for a long time but couldn't get up.

Amber Xiu laughed, it was true, big body not only weak gate, but also weak balance.

Just as he was about to let other giants fall to the ground, Arthur Ryan's holy light flashed, and the bright light made Amber Xiu feel tingling all over his body.

When the light faded, the giant wielding the giant sword had fallen to the ground.

There was a deep scar on the sword giant's head. For a human, this injury would split the head in half, but for a giant, it should only split the scalp.

But the sword giant was lying on the ground twitching, as if he had suffered serious injuries.

Arthur Ryan said loudly: "They are undead! Very special undead, but my holy light can still restrain them!"

It was indeed special. How terrifying would it be for the undead who were not completely dead after being hit by Arthur Ryan's holy light sword?

Seeing that Arthur Ryan was about to finish him off, Amber also shouted: "Arthur, go help Ariel, let me deal with the undead!"

Although Arthur Lane was confused, he would never waste time arguing with his teammates. He reached Ariel's side in a flash of sword light, and the two worked together to deal with the last hammer giant.

Amberxiu flashed directly to the twitching giant and slapped his hand on the open wound.

When Amber Xiu pulled out his palm, a ball of translucent silk thread was also pulled out.

This is the soul of the giant and the heroic spirit of this arena.

Amberxiu understood the structure the moment he came into contact with this heroic spirit. This was not a simple soul, but a collection of countless souls who died bravely in battle.

All warriors who die in the gladiatorial arena will continue to exist in this way. They are composed of courage and anger, leaving only memories related to the battle. They are powerful because they are pure.

But no matter how powerful the heroic spirit is, it is still a soul after all. When the giant itself cannot resist, Amber Xiu stripped the heroic spirit to pieces with one grab, completely destroying the giant's mobility.

"nice one!"

What Amber Xiu wants is the heroic soul, so although he moves quickly, he is very careful when dismantling the soul to ensure that it can be perfectly restored to its original appearance.

After having his soul extracted, this powerful giant could no longer move.

The battle has come to an end here, and the giant's weakness has been found, so there is no difficulty for the trio of French and animal husbandry.

Whether it is Arthur Lane or Amber Hew, it is impossible for the two of them to capsize in the gutter.

So the battle ended quickly. The Hammer Giant was chopped to the ground by Arthur Lane's holy light, and Amberxiu flashed and took out his soul. After the two giants were dealt with, the last giant barely struggled out of the grease spell.

It's not his fault for reacting slowly, it's because Arthur Lane and Amber Xiu are too fast. The cooperation between the paladin and the lich is flawless, which has to be said to be a miracle.

The remaining giant didn't even have any weapons, so it naturally didn't pose any threat. It didn't take a few seconds for the three of them to take it down.

All three giants had their souls taken out, and their bodies were taken into a private space by Amber Xiu. It can be said to be a great victory.

But Amberxiu felt a little scared when he thought about it now. If Arthur's holy light hadn't been able to restrain the undead, he and Ariel really wouldn't have been able to cause any harm to these giants.

If Amber Xiu dares to stretch out his hand to take out his soul, the giant will slap his body to pieces.

Amberxiu sighed with emotion: "I finally understand how this race offended Talos."

Ariel was blaming herself for her performance just now. When she heard Amber Xiu say this, she couldn't help but become curious: "Ultraman Master, what do you mean by this?"

"I said I probably guessed why this giant civilization died. Every time they participate in a trial, a large number of heroes will die in the arena, and their souls will continue to strengthen the souls of these puppets, and their corpses will be absorbed , strengthen the bodies of these puppets.

"The natural result is that the more times there are gladiatorial battles, the stronger the monsters are tested, and the stronger the heroes, the more heroes die. Until one day, this giant civilization discovered that even the strongest people in the race could not defeat these monsters together, so the gladiatorial battles No one can pass the test anymore..."

Amber corrected as he spoke, and Talos's projection appeared in front of everyone again.

The huge light and shadow overlooked the three people, and the eyes alone were bigger than the three giants combined.

Talos's majestic voice fell from the sky.

"Yes, you guessed it right. They all died in the arena because they didn't have as many tricks as you. And that's why I like them and not you so much."

Amberxiu was not surprised. When the battle started, his bracelet stopped lighting up.

How could Talos miss this battle, so it's not surprising at all that Talos shows up now.

Talos said with nostalgia: "Keep fighting, keep getting stronger, and have unified the world, so I use my own flesh and soul to create stronger enemies. Never indulge in enjoyment, and always enjoy fighting passionately. This is who I am." My favorite elect. Although they eventually created puppets that they could not defeat, I appreciated their efforts, so the living giants were brought to the Kingdom of God by me, where they will enjoy eternal life!

"But it's such a pity that the creatures behind don't have this will at all."

Amberxiu thought to himself, isn't this a pure fighting mania? For the sake of the gods, generations of heroes died for no reason, and became a shackles for future generations. Even if you can get eternal life, what's the point of this kind of eternal life as the Kingdom of Talos is notoriously desolate?

Ambrose couldn't understand this idea, but Talos's confession solved many of Ambrose's doubts.

The giant family once ruled the world, and the current golden desert may be where they live, so they have a lot of gold, because the wealth of the world belongs to them.

But gold is just something they use for sacrifice and decoration. The giants are not addicted to enjoyment, but to fighting.

Under Talos' instruction, they built the Storm Arena and began bloody battles that lasted for many years.

Amberxiu estimated that most of the giants were warriors. They didn't play any fancy tricks, they just picked up their axes and chopped each other in the most primitive way. So when your opponent is stronger than you, physically stronger than you, and has better fighting skills than you, then the hero participating in the gladiatorial battle will never win.

From Amber's perspective, this is a vicious cycle, while from the giant's perspective, this is the goal of life.

In the end, I don’t know how many people died before the whole family got the chance to enter the Kingdom of God.

No wonder those underground cities were empty, no corpses were found, and only a large amount of gold was left. Because they were not dead at all, nor did they migrate, but collectively promoted to the Kingdom of God. Gold was meaningless to them, so there was no need to take it away.

Everything was rounded off, and Amberxiu did not expect that the glorious civilization would disappear because of self-destruction.

But it was not important. Amberxiu said to Talos: "Then, great Lord of the Storm, I wonder what reward I can get this time?"

Talos smiled and said: "You stole all the heroes left in the arena, and you asked me for a reward?"

"The spoils are sacred and inviolable. Isn't this your doctrine, Lord of the Storm?" Amberxiu was about to bargain with Talos, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait, what do you mean by that just now? There are only these three heroes left in the entire arena?"
