Chapter 127: Chapter 121: The Mad Giant

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

The bloodline power passed down in the Leander family is the “Forest Dragon Mammoth”.

They are capable of manipulating plants and can also enlarge their bodies, thereby gaining more formidable defensive abilities and monster-like strength!

The slightly overweight, aged Baron Leander’s body visibly swelled up, his limbs, torso, and head rapidly expanding more than tenfold in a short period of time, his entire body covered with vine-like plants, resembling a tree giant over a dozen meters tall, standing on the crystal ground in front of the Crystal Palace.

“You filthy fisherman of Nasir! Die!”

He roared loudly, his voice majestic, spreading all around as he lifted his huge foot, intending to crush Byrne.

The size was too immense!

Byrne had never seen what Baron Leander’s transformation looked like, but he could still guess that if it were merely a low-level Transmutation, Leander could not have become so gigantic.

Now, he had made a breakthrough to the mid-level Transmutation rank, and his strength had increased considerably.

If he really could take a step further and reach high-level Transmutation, Baron Leander’s size after transforming might be several times larger than it was now!

Surpass!

Lightning sparks burst from his eyes, and everything in his vision slowed down, his expression grew composed as he continuously processed the vast information around him.

“Snap!”

The colossal foot of the giant had already stomped down heavily, Byrne didn’t hesitate to snap his fingers and preemptively teleport using “Shape-shifting” to evade the attack that could have destroyed him.

A loud “boom” resonated, the ground trembling incessantly, and many damaged crystal structures also shook.

“Thankfully, speed and agility are not the strong suits of the Forest Dragon Mammoth bloodline power, and in this state, he cannot focus his will on smaller objects, so he is unable to use mysterious rare artifacts. It seems I can still hold out for a while.”

Byrne’s mind worked swiftly, quickly anticipating several “landing points” for his opponent’s next most likely attack.

He had just felt the tremor on the ground, and deep inside, there was another firm judgment.

“I must not go head-to-head with him, that power is too much for ‘Mirror Deflection’ to withstand!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

However, although Byrne thought of many things, the towering Baron Leander, over a dozen meters in height, did not pursue him but suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter on the spot!

“Hahahaha! What surging power! I am too strong now! Hahaha! Do you see!”

The transformed Baron Leander, now a giant, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, his crazy joy overflowing, even manifesting as red Spirit Aura of happiness in the air.

This so-called Spirit Aura, also known as the “atmosphere of Spirituality”, are essentially a derivative phenomenon of emotional power, able to fulfill certain ritualistic needs.

Materializing Spirit Aura in the real world is difficult, but this place is the Spirit Realm, where emotional power easily takes physical form.

Suddenly, numerous vines covering the green giant surged forward, snaking like pythons, thirsting for blood as they struck from all angles, trying to entangle Byrne’s body.

“Snap.”

With another snap of his fingers, half a second later Shape-shifting was activated again, Byrne didn’t hesitate to put distance between himself and the green giant, then summoned another Body Double.

He planned to confuse his opponent by constantly swapping places with his Body Double.

“Who am I? Am I Leander, or Andersen, who am I? And who was Leander…”

Baron Leander suddenly made a confused sound, as if he had fallen into doubt and bewilderment, then he stopped moving.

The tense Byrne was taken aback, suddenly feeling that all his careful predictions might be inaccurate because Baron Leander’s state was very strange, his mind filled with confusion and madness.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

That mad old fellow might not even know what he would do next!

For some reason, he felt somewhat deflated, having an odd feeling of “all my meticulous calculations being completely ignored by a madman”.

Although Baron Leander stopped his attack and fell into contemplation, Byrne had no intention of relaxing, thinking “If you let your guard down, I won’t”.

If the enemy is ill, then the enemy should be killed off!

He immediately expended Spiritual Power, summoning a sky full of firebirds that screeched towards the plant-covered giant Leander.

The firebirds touched the green plants and burst into flames instantly. Soon, large swathes of red fire covered every inch of the green giant’s body, and Baron Leander could not help but howl in pain!

“Ahhhhhh! You despicable fellow! What kind of Spellcaster are you, that you can even summon flames?”

Byrne had already guessed as much, but after confirmation, he was delighted, good, his flames were particularly effective against him!

Even though there was a significant gap in raw power between them, Baron Leander was not at his best, and Byrne’s abilities were a counter to his.

Perhaps he really could win a duel!

In fact, even if Baron Leander had been in perfect condition, this elder with virtually no combat experience would probably only have half the strength of William Garcia of the Garcia family, not nearly enough to crush Byrne quickly.

If he really couldn’t beat his opponent, Byrne would have to use that purple-red stone that was said to be able to unleash the power of a top-tier Treasure-class mysterious rare artifact in a single burst.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Actually, when he planned to escape from the formidable William of the Garcia family last time, he had considered whether to use this one-time trump card.

Byrne murmured to himself, “But this time the advantage is on my side, even without using it, I should also have a chance to win.”

However, he soon realized that he had oversimplified things.

The raging flames engulfing the green giant were about to extinguish, with the invisible life force flowing continuously within its body. In the blink of an eye, it spread to every part of its body, and a blood-colored mist quickly emerged from its surface.

Battle Skill 22: Surging Blood, the effect is to increase blood flow and muscle efficiency through the movement of life force, temporarily enhancing strength and speed in battle.

“Byrne! I won’t let you take it from me! Hahaha! You’re going to die here!”

Damn!

Byrne’s complexion changed, even with his size greatly increased, Baron Leander was still able to use battle skills!

Just as he took out the purple-red stone and was about to activate it, a strange scene suddenly unfolded before his eyes!

The green giant, initially ready to fight to the death and wanting to kill Byrne, suddenly collapsed to the ground. Its massive body crumbled, gradually turning into pale white specks of light and vanishing into nothingness.

“I almost forgot about this…”

Byrne froze for a moment, and then realized what had happened.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

On the Ouden Continent, traditional Extraordinary Exponents only cultivate life force and spiritual power, and their Spirituality barely differs from that of ordinary people.

And in the Spirit Realm, the more injuries a consciousness body sustains, the more Spiritual Power it consumes, until the depletion of the consciousness body’s Spiritual Power is tantamount to stepping toward death.

“Consecution Power Exponents can withstand much more damage, but traditional Exponents can’t do that; they are very likely to be one-shotted in the Spirit Realm.”

The Blazing Fire had actually already exhausted Baron Leander’s scarce Spiritual Power.

Thus, his consciousness body died easily in the Spirit Realm.

Although he exploited the rules of the Spirit Realm, he could count it as a success in defeating a powerful enemy.

“For Exponents of Consecution Power, the advantage of battling in the Spirit Realm is too significant, making it easy to trade injury for death.”

Byrne took a deep breath, walked over to the Crystal Dragon egg, and with a light touch, confirmed it was an object that could be brought into the material world.

In fact, the Crystal Dragon egg was not an evolutionary subconscious thing, but an entity that existed in the material world!

“Someone actually put a real dragon egg from the material world into the Spirit Realm! And its shell is made of crystal, I’ve never even heard of a Crystal Dragon species…”

Although he was unclear about the true species of the dragon egg, he still lifted the Crystal Dragon egg, unable to suppress the excitement deep inside him.

Giant dragons need at least a hundred years to reach adulthood, but once they truly mature, they possess extremely powerful strength.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

According to the books on mysterious creatures, the average strength of adult giant dragons is at the level of high-level Transmutation, and the stronger adult giant dragons can even hold their own against those Extraordinary Exponents who have reached the Metamorphosis Phase and are just a step away from Monarch Level.

“I wonder when it will hatch; at least a hundred years later, the Fischer family will witness its great power.”

Byrne did not know when he would wake up from the Spirit Realm, so he began to observe his surroundings carefully and recorded everything with “Profound Memory.”

The Crystal Palace in the distance continuously radiated an immensely powerful aura. Despite the distance, he could still feel an intense danger.

He felt like a tiny ant, while inside the palace seemed like the mouth of a volcano filled with lava and raging flames, where one step would certainly bring about certain death!

Absolute cannot go over there!

“I should come back to explore this place later; my current strength is completely inadequate; the Fischer family people are not in a rush.”

Byrne slowly shook his head, his cautious nature made him curious about what was inside the Crystal Palace, but he still did not want to lose his life for curiosity’s sake.

“Speaking of which, where did Baron Leander find this Crystal Dragon egg from? He couldn’t possibly have entered the palace, could he? And why did he suddenly appear near me earlier?”

“Why is there a passage from the real world to the Spirit Realm in a cave that exists in the material world? Leander, why would he know of this Crystal Palace?”

There were too many mysteries surfacing in his mind, but Byrne guessed one thing: Baron Leander from the real world could no longer answer his questions.

Two consciousness deaths in the Spirit Realm would be enough to cause a complete mental collapse.

At that moment, he woke up.

“Whew…”

Byrne slowly opened his eyes, saw the trees of the forest and the bright sky, and found himself lying flat on the ground of the jungle, clutching the Crystal Dragon egg.

Chris, with his expressionless face, accompanied by a barely detectable concern in his eyes, soon appeared before him.

“I’m okay, Chris… Was it you who pulled me out from there?”

Byrne managed a faint smile as he slowly got up, noticing he was still tied with a rope—indeed, Chris had pulled him out of the cave with a rope.

Not far away lay a body.

That was Baron Leander, his mouth agape, eyes wide open filled with resentment and madness, staring dead into the sky, his raised hands with fingers twisted grotesquely reaching forward.
