A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"What do you think?" Gustav asked solemnly.

"...Necromantic magic?" Bai Ye said.

But Gustav, who had actually faced off against necromancy, shook his head.

"It doesn't look like it...even though it's all about making corpses move, I can't feel the breath of magic..."

"That's most likely the effect of the treasure box."

It can be seen from the letter left by Yan Ling that most of her soul was devoured by Fenrir, perhaps sealed in a treasure box, so...

Do these giants have the same situation?

In other words, it is not the giant that controls the treasure box, but the treasure box that controls the giant...

But how can a box have its own consciousness?

It's impossible even if you think about it.

......consciousness?

Bai Ye suddenly remembered that the "Wedge of Shadow", which was also an ancient relic, was being used under his own will, wasn't it?

Could it be...

"Hmm... Such an evil smell..." Eve and Estelle walked nearby at some point. Eve covered her nose and said with a frown.

Elves are naturally very sensitive to all kinds of invisible things.

"Well, it's an empty shell." Estelle just took one look and made a conclusion.

Logically speaking, after death, the soul of a living being often stays on the corpse for a period of time.

"Then I would like to ask, is it possible to lose one's soul and still be able to walk in the world?" Gustave asked.

"Even necromancy magic requires a corpse with at least a trace of soul left in order to be manipulated..." Estelle said.

It was obvious that there was nothing inside this giant.

"...How about putting aside the necromancy magic? Are there any spells that can achieve the same effect without this kind of magic?" Gustav asked again.

"I'm not sure about this. Maybe Miss Farren knows better than me?" Estelle looked at Bai Ye.

"Sorry, I have been studying elements all my life and I haven't dabbled much in this kind of magic." Bai Ye told the truth.

"And is there no other possibility besides the existing magic?"

"Existing magic" refers to the magic system that has taken shape today and is still expanding. This includes all magic that is widely used or preserved today, and is outside this system. , people used to call it "lost magic".

Although it is called "magic", can it actually be classified as a magic system?

There is still debate in the academic community...

For example, elf magic, that is, calling elemental elves to cast spells. Is this type of magic that does not directly mobilize the caster's magic really counted in the magic system?

And the legendary "dragon language"...should it be counted as magic? Or the magic of telepathy?

The situation is similar, and there is also "spell"...

"...spell..."

"curse......"

Bai Ye suddenly started repeating two words...

"By the way, could it be some kind of curse?" Bai Ye guessed.

"A curse... But this kind of magic should have been lost..." Estelle knew a little bit about the history of magic.

"...No, although there may be only a few people who can cast spells, but..."

"Ancient relics." Everyone present said almost at the same time.

This will make it right.

It goes like this:

By chance, the giant clan obtained the Winter Treasure Box, an ancient relic. The giants headed by the giant king highly respected it and regarded it as a sacred object of the clan, and was worn by the giant kings of all generations.

However, they did not know that the powerful curse contained in this treasure box would devour the soul of the Giant King after his death, manipulate his body, and open the treasure box. This triggered the so-called "Finbul Winter", so the North The war between the environment and the giants is basically a cyclical cycle...

It wasn't until the wearer of the treasure box changed generations that the harsh winter finally stopped and a new cycle began.

Occasionally, we encounter a situation like that a thousand years ago - the treasure box is opened wide, and a certain saint-level strongman kills the contemporary giant king, and the cold current is stopped...

The Winter Box is like a programmed program, tempting people to possess it, tempting them to open this "Pandora's Box", and ultimately leading to the destruction of the whole world.

"In other words, including this guy, those are all..."

"That's right, the kings of giants throughout the ages are just corpses..."

But there is still a problem, the endless cold current in the treasure box...

Where did it come from?

......

It wasn't clear before, but in the thousands of years of records, no one has ever done an in-depth study of why abnormal weather periodically occurs in the North, and why countless giants take the opportunity to invade in large numbers.

Over the years, the entire continent has taken all this for granted.

Take the sacrifices of the people of the North for granted.

As everyone knows, the truth is...the northern border, as the door latch of the entire continent, firmly holds the gap that will destroy the world in the cold winter...

When Gustav thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his ancestors.

Is this sacrifice really worth it?

"Okay, let's get back to the current issue. The situation is very clear now. The giants guarding the treasure box are just a dozen bodies... It's time to think of a way to close the treasure box."

Gustav said.

Everyone gathered under the giant's corpse and began to think about the final strategy.

"It turns out that you only need to destroy the brains of these giants to kill them completely." Bai Ye looked at Ke Lulu.

Ke Lulu nodded.

"But that's the difficulty. Our power is not enough to destroy every giant's brain..."

Ke Lulu was able to kill it with one blow because she had a huge advantage in the size of the summoned object. Even so, Ke Lulu now no longer has enough magic power to summon the four-armed giant.

Among the remaining people, there are probably not many who have the ability to do such a thing...

Bai Ye was confident of destroying the giant's brain with one blow, but he could only defeat one in a short time, and the magic power might not be sustainable.

Not to mention Gustav, although he is at the king level, his strength is comparable to that of the weaker saint level.

"If I can rest for a while... I should be able to summon it again..." Ke Lulu said.

"I think I should be able to barely handle one." Yan said.

With the cooperation of the remaining Wuyue people, it should be easy to deal with one or two giants.

Having said that...

"Do you still have any of your magical bottles left?" Bai Ye asked.

"There's only one left..." Sophia has been paying attention to consumption.

"If everything goes well, after closing the Winter Box, we will no longer face the extreme cold. This will be our last rest time. If I remember correctly, it will be two to three days... right?"

Within two days, eleven giants tens of meters tall had to be killed, including a contemporary giant king who seemed to be a hundred meters tall.

"Then the only way is to defeat them one by one."

"Just like the guy lying here now, how about we lure out those unconscious giants one by one and then destroy them?"

Bai Ye's plan is probably the best choice at the moment.

After all, facing such a large number of enemies, not even the Yanling Sword Master could escape unscathed.

"So, how to lure them out?" Melmed asked.

"Well..." Bai Ye looked at Shuangtian.

"...It?" Melmed asked doubtfully.

Although I don’t know why ordinary giants are so afraid of Shuangtian, but these long-dead giants are so interested in Shuangtian, the fact is already in front of us. Shuangtian’s attraction to giants is as strong as the attraction of fresh flesh and blood to Shuangtian.

In addition, Shuangtian performed well during this escape.

It has the task of making bait...

The only problem is...it's going to take a lot of frosty weather during this time.

"All in all, we are pressed for time, so please use whatever means you have."

The survival of the Northern Territory, and even the safety of the entire continent, will be decided within these two days...
