Aldred continued, passing the dining hall, they arrived in another hallway. This one was bigger and wider, and there were statues of giant men with full body armor and halberds. These statues were larger than the cats. And the cats were as large as mountains.
So he was literally the size of an ant in comparison.
"Will we meet any giants?" Kiara wagged her tail left and right in fear and a little bit of excitement.
"I hope not." Aldred did not want to meet any giants at all. The cats were quite powerful, so what about the giants? They had to be at least at Adamantite Rank.
"Whoever owns this place, we have to avoid them at all cost. The treasure is placed here for a reason. And that reason is to keep treasure hunters like us away from it."
THUD!
A shoe landed beside Aldred. It wasn't a normal feet. But a mountain-size feet!
Aldred looked up and saw a gigantic human towering high above him. The man was 7 times taller than the cat he fought.
So that was like 7 mountains stacked atop each other. The size was so incredible that it would be impossible to imagine. A normal human brain wouldn't have the capacity to process something this large.
Aldred scanned the giant with his godly eyes.
[Umnus]
Level: 200
Power: ???
History: ???
His eyes widened. Both of his feet trembled under his own weight. This was the first time that he had seen someone or something had a level over 200. Except his parents and sister of course.
"What in the world is that?" Mary's knees bent. Sweat covered her forehead.
"Don't make any noise," Aldred said.
They waited until the giant left before they let out a breath of relieve.
"That thing is too powerful for us to handle. Even Herakas might think twice before confronting one."
A giant that was as tall as 7 mountains stacked on top of each other.
"This must be how an ant feels when they see us." Aldred sighed. "Let's go."
They followed the direction of the Astrolabe, and after a few hours. They arrived in some sort garden. The garden had giant roots entangled around each other with plants and mushrooms growing on it.
Atop this root was a giant golden egg, basking in the sunlight as it radiated a divine energy that drew all eyes on it.
"Is that the treasure?" Aldred looked at the Astrolabe. It pointed towards the egg.
"So it is. After all this time, the treasure is just a golden egg?"
"Maybe there's something inside that golden egg," Stella said.
"Let's check it out."
They all rushed towards the giant roots. The roots were as big as a highway for them. And the flowers, plants, and mushroom were taller than most trees he had seen before.
They encountered a worm. It slowly stretching and contracting their muscles to move forward.
A magic circle appeared in the sky, and a fire javelin came out, flying towards the worm at a high speed.
The worm detected the threat and spat out sticky liquid at it only for the liquid to vaporize. The javelin stabbed its head and it wriggled in pain.
Two second later, it stopped moving.
[You have killed Wriggly Worm +4,400 EXP]
They encountered more worms in the way, and they killed them all.
[You have killed Wriggly Worm +4,400 EXP]
[You have killed Wriggly Worm +4,400 EXP]
[You have killed Wriggly Worm +4,400 EXP]
[You have killed Wriggly Worm +4,400 EXP]
[You have killed Wriggly Worm +4,400 EXP]
Aldred pulled his Phantom Doomblade from the worm's neck. It then turned into dust and got blown by the wind.
"That was a good workout." Ivette wiped the sweat on her forehead. "These worms are squishy."
She tapped the worm's body which moved like jelly.
"They are weak indeed. But their levels are quite high," Aldred said.
Suddenly, they heard a scream.
"Don't attack it's body! It's immune to sharp and blunt objects!"
Aldred looked to the side, and saw a group of people struggling to fight against the worm. They stabbed it with a spear, but the skin bounced it off. The slashed with their sword, but its slippery surface made the sword slip.
Then they tried with a hammer, but the bouncy texture returned the hammer's momentum back.
Aldred saw a lot of other groups that suffered the same problem.
"Hmmm, they make it a lot harder than it look," Aldred said.
If the treasure hunters heard what Aldred said, they would cry. It wasn't that they made it harder, but it was Aldred that made it look too easy.
"Should we help them?" Ivette asked.
"Nope. That's their problem. Let us proceed."
Aldred moved forward, killing every monster that disrupted their way.
As they were killing monsters however, the stumbled upon some familiar faces.
"Oh, you three again," Aldred said.
It was the trio the mysterious trio that Aldred had found before. According to his godly eyes, these three did not come from Coureroy continent, but from somewhere far larger and stronger.
Aldred had plans to visit other continents, so the three of them interested him. He wanted to kill them and turned them into undeads, but they were much stronger than he thought. Not to mention they seemed to have treasures that let them escape from him.
As usual, the trio remained silent. Behind them, corpses of worms and other monsters lay on the ground.
Behind Aldred was also a lot of corpses of monsters.
People that looked from far away thought that these two groups were about to fight. Some stayed to watch, but others decided to move forward and further delay would be risky.
"Why did you chase us?" Shevli said. She was the female magician that like the other two, wore a robe that covered her entire body except her mouth.
The godly eyes did not provide further information, but Aldred could tell that the three of them were chased by a powerful group, and were on the run. The reason they came here was probably for obtaining that treasure and attack the ones who chase them.
What funny was how they thought that Aldred was told to chase them.
"I didn't come here to chase you. You come from other continent right?"
"Lies. If you continue to chase us. We will kill you."
"And you think you can?" The Phantom Doomblade in his hand ignited in flames, and the temperature around them increased.
"We are capable of things you cannot fathom."
"Don't act like you're some mysterious stuff. I can see in that blue eyes of yours. I see it far too many times. I see… fear."
Shevli flinched. 'How did he see through my robe?'
Aldred looked down. "Also, I can also see that thin blue, thin lingerie."
Shevli opened her mouth in shock, cheeks blushing. "You… you… how did you know?"
Aldred laughed. "Did I guess correctly?"
'Oh, so he just guessed.' That made her let out a sigh of relief. But she still glared at Aldred for pulling tricks on her.
If only she knew that her clothes was nothing for his godly eyes…
