Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 300 Light Killer

Looking at Groselle who seemed to be lost in nostalgia, Yu Jin slowly asked:

"You coming or me?"

Groselle hummed:
"Let me do it."

He hoped to personally confirm the status of the two Silver Knights.

If they were alive, there might be a chance to negotiate.

If they were dead, they would have turned into monsters similar to those rotten giants.

Then, he would personally send them off and give them the final dignity.

Surrounded by the strong wind, the four-meter-tall gray-blue giant climbed up layer by layer and approached the main gate of the "Giant King's Court".

Groselle walked up the stone stairs step by step and came to the top of the stairs near the main entrance.

It was not until this time that the two silver knight guards outside the main gate of the Giant King's Court finally reacted.

They turned their heads, and the orange-red light behind their masks flashed twice, as if confirming the identity of the visitor.

Snapped!
Groselle stopped at the last step and did not step onto the platform where the main entrance to the Giant King's Court was located.

The two guards stared at the giant in front of them, but did not make a move. The orange light behind their cheeks flickered slightly.

Groselle did not speak, with uncontrollable sadness in his eyes.

He should have thought of it earlier.

More than three thousand years have passed. How could they, who are only Sequence 3, survive to this day?

They were once demigods, heroes, and noble warriors guarding the Giant King's Court. But now, they are just puppets controlled by some residual power.

They were unable to think or leave and could only guard the gate behind them like sculptures for thousands of years.

But they still did not take any action, just looked at the giant in front of them with some confusion.

Now they are like puppets with preset programs, and the preset program tells them to kill all intruders. But another preset program tells them that the giants are not intruders.

At this moment, Groselle slowly and firmly raised his hand, as if saying goodbye to them.

At the same time, a silver-white crack suddenly appeared on the forehead of the silver knight holding the giant axe, and countless silver sharp rays burst out from his body. In just a blink of an eye, the silver knight was instantly cut into countless pieces by the sharp silver rays bursting out from his body.

On the other side, even though he was no longer conscious, his fighting instinct still allowed another silver knight holding a long sword to hide in the light, concealing his figure, and at the same time launched a counterattack against Groselle.

But compared to them who were controlled by the 'preset program', Groselle's movements were much faster!

While the Silver Knight was hiding in the light, a giant sword that seemed to be condensed from the morning light appeared in Groselle's hand. He raised the giant sword without hesitation and slashed it vertically towards the seemingly empty area in front of him.

The bright morning light bloomed in an instant, and the tall giant hidden in the light could no longer hide himself. He fell from the light helplessly, and was beheaded by the giant sword that emitted the light of morning light, which seemed heavy but was actually extremely sharp!
"Feel sorry."

Groselle whispered to himself with a hint of sadness, then slowly and firmly walked over the bodies of the two silver knights, picked up the greatsword left by the dead silver knight, and inserted it into the crack in the ground.

He lowered his body, stretched out his hands, and pressed on the main gate that was dozens of meters high.

With a heavy clicking sound, the door with many golden nails slowly opened.

At this time, the sun was jumping in the sky, and the entire Giant King's Court was frozen in the orange light of dusk. The huge main door opened faster and faster, and the scene inside was gradually exposed to Yu Jin's eyes.

A gray-white staircase with an orange glow and countless layers leads up from behind the door to the highest and most magnificent residence of the Giant King. There is nothing blocking the way, and palaces and towers are densely packed on both sides.
Giant statues holding halberds and covered in iron armor are lined up in front of different buildings, guarding the road leading to the gods' residence.

Behind him, flames covered the body of the Silver Knight, burning it to ash in an instant.

Yu Jin collected the ashes of the two Silver Knights and asked curiously:

"Why are you so sure there are still living giants in the Giant King's Court?"

Groselle looked at the ember that came to his side, was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice:
"The queen once taught us a secret technique that can extend the lifespan of giants..."

Groselle paused for a moment and did not explain further. He looked at the giant statue in front of him and said firmly:
"I'll do it."

"it is good."

Yu Jin nodded and didn't fight with him.

click!
As Groselle approached, the giant statues on both sides suddenly moved. The long spears in the hands of the giant statues on both sides of them overlapped in a cross, blocking their way.

The giant statues slowly stood up, with orange light bursting from their eyes.

However, the next second, silver-white sharp light burst out from their bodies one after another, and the sound of shattering was heard from within.

clap clap clap!
The blooming 'silver-white flowers' continue to spread upwards, as if welcoming distinguished guests.

Any giant statues that tried to stand up were destroyed one by one, while those that remained motionless remained intact.

Groselle walked through the statues, some broken and some intact, and stepped onto the platform above.

Groselle looked at the palace in front of him and said in a low voice:
"Further ahead is the king's residence. Should we go straight ahead or explore the surroundings first?"

His tone returned to calm, but he still couldn't hide his disappointment.

He no longer had any hope of finding a living giant in the Giant King's Court, but if possible, he still didn't want to leave so soon.

Yes, he had his own selfish motives, because he knew that the ember's purpose was to open the door to the Giant King's palace and take something from it.

But in Groselle's opinion, opening that door itself might hide unimaginable dangers.

Before that, Groselle wanted to take another good look at this place, because this might be his last time to explore here, and his last time to go home...

Yu Jin saw Groselle's dilemma and took the initiative to speak:

"We have plenty of time for you to explore as you wish."

"Thank you."

Groselle hummed as he determined the direction and walked into the hall in front of the Giant King’s residence.

On the left side of the hall, there was a railing made of stone pillars. Beyond the railing was a diffuse orange-red cloud. The light of dusk fell from the sky, reflecting the gently surging, endless deep blue in the distance, which made a rustling sound. Groselle stood in front of the railing, staring at the deep blue ocean, his eyes somewhat out of focus.

"You used to stand here in a daze all the time. After all these years, you still haven't made any progress."

Amid the heavy footsteps, a voice with a hint of nostalgia came from behind Groselle.

A huge figure quickly appeared on the side of the Giant King's palace. He was wearing a silver full body armor with bright patterns on his arm armor. One was on the right side, blood red in color, and circled the arm. The other was in the same position on the left, dotted with black spots.

He was nearly five meters tall, and what was flashing behind his visor was not a deep red or orange light, but a real vertical single eye!
Groselle turned around, and the astonishment on his face quickly turned into surprise:

"Lord Milgungen, are you still alive? I knew it, I knew there must be living giants in the royal court!"

"Alive?"

The Light Killer Milgungen paused for a moment:
“Groselle, if you are here to look for other giants, then you’d better give up as soon as possible. In the entire Giant King’s Court, I am the only giant who can still communicate.”

His tone was full of mockery, and it was unclear whether he was mocking himself or Groselle's naivety.

"I……"

Groselle opened his mouth, and his eyes quickly turned lonely.

Milgongen stopped not far from Groselle and said in a low voice:
"I don't know why you suddenly disappeared that year, and I don't know why you came back now."

"But since you were once a guard of the royal court, please leave as soon as possible and do not disturb Lord Sasriel's sleep."

"'Dark Angel' Sasriel?"

Groselle's expression changed slightly. He had heard this name from the ascetic Snowman before.

He was the Angel King of the ancient Sun God, the former Left Hand of God, the Vice-Prince of Heaven, and the leader of the Angel Kings.

Snowman was his friend, so even though he knew that it was the ancient sun god who killed the giant king, he would not attack Snowman. In Groselle's opinion, taking out his anger on Snowman because of his faith was just a cowardly act.

But this does not mean that Groselle can accept all this calmly!
He would not vent his anger on Snowman, because Snowman was just an ordinary person who just followed the times and chose the orthodox belief of the time. When the ancient sun god killed the giant king, Snowman was not even born yet.

But if he were asked to believe in the ancient sun god, the true creator, or any of the angel kings, this would be unacceptable to Groselle!
He would not vent his anger on Snowman, who believed in the ancient sun god, but he would never surrender to the ancient sun god because he was the enemy who killed the Giant King!
And now, the former leader of the King's Court Hunters, Milgungen the Light Killer, who had been blessed by the King himself, chose to serve the Dark Angel Sasriel and surrender to their enemies after experiencing it all himself!

How ironic is this?
Groselle asked in a deep voice:
"Lord Milgungen, have you betrayed the king?"

"betray?"

The Light Killer Milgungen's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly raised the broadsword in his hand, making a sound like thunder:

"Groselle, you are not qualified to judge my choice!"

Groselle also clenched the sword in his hand and said in a deep voice:

“He has no right to live in the King’s house!”

The greatsword in his hand came from the Silver Knight he killed at the main gate.

Groselle originally thought that even though the two silver knights had been dead for a long time, they were still doing their duty and guarding the king's palace!

But now, Milgungen, the leader of all the King's Court Hunters, has obviously betrayed his oath. He still guards the Giant King's Court, but the object of his guard is no longer the King, but the enemy who once killed the King!
This was undoubtedly a kind of degradation, and Groselle could not accept this kind of degradation!
He turned his gaze towards the palace guarded by the giant knight.

There was the tallest and most magnificent building in the Giant King's Court. The light of dusk seemed to turn into substance and cover its surface, giving it a distinct sense of decay, giving people a feeling that dusk was falling and eternal night was approaching.

It has a spire on one side and a round tower on the other side, with the main entrance facing each other. It is mainly gray-blue in color, with a height of more than ten meters. It is covered with symmetrical symbols, logos and patterns, which makes it both solemn and mysterious.

About three or four meters above the gate, on the left side of the crack, there was a pitch-black hole the size of an adult's fist.

It used to be the king's residence, but now it is the king's enemies who occupy it openly!
"Why don't you do it?"

Milgungen pointed his broadsword at Groselle and said coldly:
"As your leader, I will teach you another lesson."

"If you are not ready to kill the enemy, don't draw your sword!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Milgungen's figure disappeared instantly, leaving only a silver-white scene in Groselle's vision!
His pupils shrank slightly and he instinctively raised the sword in his hand for defense.

when!when!when!
Silver light shone, and the sound of metal colliding echoed.

Groselle struggled to resist Milgungen's attack. The morning light around him shattered and scattered.

Silver rays of light appeared in different places, trying their best to cut through the morning light barrier around Groselle, like insects struggling desperately in amber.

Dang Dang Dang!
The silver light, sometimes dense and sometimes thick, continued to emerge, forcing Groselle to retreat with difficulty. Even though he tried many times to hide in the light like Milgungen, he was forced out of his position every time by the silver light that kept emerging.

Unlike Groselle who had just become a Sequence 3 Silver Knight, Milgungen, who had been immersed in the Silver Knight level for many years, was obviously much stronger than Groselle!

Dang Dang Dang!
In the continuous collision, Groselle's defense became more and more difficult, and his position was constantly forced back.

at last.

When the last ray of silver light finally broke through Groselle's defense, the continuous silver light suddenly disappeared.

Milgungen fell from the light with a clang and knelt on one knee. His breath was rapidly fading, and his flesh and blood were rapidly aging, rotting and evaporating.

Milgungen subconsciously looked outside the Giant King's Court. The human who was traveling with Groselle was standing in front of the last intact giant statue, waving a sword.

With continuous cracking sounds, the statue broke apart, collapsed, and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Milgonggen looked at Groselle who was breathing heavily not far away, a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly:

"Go to the Hall of Oaths. There you will find the answers you seek."

In the orange light, the lively royal court seemed to reappear before his eyes. In the frozen dusk, giants came and went, playing the lyre, blowing the bone flute, fighting, and enjoying the delicious food that was always available. Life passed by very slowly, and their king, sitting on the high throne, watched everything majestically.

After that time, all of this no longer existed, so he chose to follow the 'Dark Angel' Sasriel.

Milgonggen smiled, opened his mouth, and whispered:
"king……"

The 'King's Court Hunter' lowered his head, and his flesh and blood 'evaporated' completely, leaving only a huge white skeleton and bits of silver-white light that were condensing again.
