Since the "Light-Slayer" Mylergen didn't obtain his long life from a Beyonder characteristic, Klein could only consider external factors:
"The effect of a mystical item? No, he didn't have any mystical items on him, and there were none in the surrounding area except for the
"Who took the key to the Giant King's residence after Sasrir fell asleep? Wasn't that a bit too much? Of course, a palace without the power of a god shouldn't be able to trap an Angel King... Or perhaps this key had already drifted to the Northern Continent with the migration of the Giant tribe. Sasrir chose that palace to sleep in because, aside from a very few, no one could open the door and disturb His slumber?
"Could it be that the 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' gave this key as a roundabout way from the '
"If it wasn't the effect of a mystical item, what could it be? Time gifted by an Angel of the Marauder pathway? Leaving aside whether stolen illusory things can be gifted to others, first, an Angel of the Marauder pathway or a Grade 0
"Furthermore, the true body of this 'Blasphemer' seems to be wandering in the 'Forgotten Land of the
"A cycle of fate? After the 'Light-Slayer' Mylergen dies of old age, everything starts again from him guarding Sasrir? Hmm, that's possible. If the current Mylergen is already in an aged state, then speaking of a long time passing is perfectly understandable... Moreover, because the time sealed by this cycle is several hundred years long and it hasn't reached the node yet, it's very normal that I couldn't find any signs on the
Thinking this, Klein quickly looked around, searching for any traces left behind by the 'Angel of Fate', Uroborus.
However, no similar power remained.
Klein hurriedly averted his gaze and continued to observe the 'Light-Slayer' Mylergen, who was fiercely battling
"His Spirit Body Threads are normal, ruling out the possibility of becoming a puppet... Under 'Real Vision', his state shows no abnormality, which means he isn't a summoned Historical Projection...
"Could it be the slowing of time or the aging of life by the Divine Kingdom of the '
"But the problem is that the Giant King, an Ancient God, has already fallen. Badheir, who wields the power of Dawn and Twilight, brought the Divine Kingdom to the Astral World. It's unlikely that such a strong influence remains in this court..." Klein went over all the methods of prolonging life he could think of, but none fit the situation of the leader of those 'Court Pursuers'.
He had to consider another possibility:
"A secret art with a huge flaw?
"This should rely on some power within the 'Giant King's Court'; otherwise, Mylergen's range of activity wouldn't be so small, and he wouldn't have waited until the City of Silver expedition team reached the Giant King's residence to act...
"There is clearly another life-related presence in the 'Giant King's Court', and that is the former 'Goddess of Harvest', the current 'Earth Mother', the Giant Queen Omibella."
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Klein's heart stirred, and he cast his gaze toward the giant statues outside the Giant King's palace.
They weren't very different from the ones the City of Silver expedition team had encountered along the way, just a bit taller.
However, as Klein carefully examined them, a few abnormalities appeared. These giant statues possessed the breath of life and had a certain level of spirituality, but behind their masks was pitch black, without the flicker of a deep red light.
This... the 'Light-Slayer' Mylergen had bound his spirit to these animated statues through some secret art in the domain of life, using them to obtain a long life. However, because of this, he was confined to this area, unable to leave... This is very similar to the existence form of a wraith... If that's the case, Mylergen might not be able to fully display his Mythical Creature form... Klein materialized a gold coin and tossed it up to confirm.
Seeing that the answer was 'affirmative', he raised the 'Trident of the Sea God', preparing to warn Little 'Sun' through the 'Prayer Light'.
Just at this moment, the 'Demon Hunter' Colin, who had dodged one of Mylergen's attacks, suddenly rolled continuously, went around the opponent, and sprinted from the side toward the Giant King's residence.
His gaze was locked precisely on those giant statues!
In the fierce battle just now, this Chief of the City of Silver had been at a disadvantage, but he hadn't given up on observing his surroundings, nor had he stopped thinking.
He was also puzzled as to why the leader of the 'Court Pursuers' could live for several thousand years. When he noticed that those animated giant statues were just standing outside the palace and didn't participate in the battle, he already had a certain judgment in his heart.
He wasn't entirely sure what was specifically going on, based on what principle, or from which domain, but his rich exploration experience and the instincts of a 'Demon Hunter' made him believe those statues were the key to the problem!
Thump, thump, thump!
Colin Iliad, holding two straight swords, began to sprint in large strides, but he didn't run in a straight line; he sometimes veered left and sometimes circled right.
Seeing this, the 'Light-Slayer' Mylergen let out a roar, grabbed his broadsword with both hands, and swiftly chopped down towards the front.
His reaction proved that Colin Iliad's judgment was correct.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The 'Demon Hunter' Colin abruptly leaped aside, continuing his roll, while on his original running path, streaks of silver light appeared out of thin air, exploded, and formed a 'long snake', completely tearing up the hard and solid ground of the court, ripping it open with deep fissures.
