Chapter 720 - 398: Varesa, Your King Has Returned! (Double - )

Upon the palm is the warrior of the entire dynasty!

When Fernar heard these words, his face instantly turned black.

As a fallen ancient dynasty, its strength aside for the moment, it was impossible for its army to be weak.

Just as Fernar was silently lamenting to himself.

There was new movement within the army across from them.

On the palm of the Sun Giant, a huge humanoid warrior rose once again, clad in heavy armor and holding a trident, raising it high above its head, it roared in the enigmatic Varesa language.

Fernar naturally could not understand.

But Vic could understand every word.

"Attack with full force! Kill the intruders!"

The roar of the giant warrior echoed, invigorating the nearby troops who charged at the duo, as if they wouldn’t stop until they trampled them to death.

The duo had no time to worry about anything else.

Facing the full-force attack of the Varesa army, they could only draw their weapons and marks, gritting their teeth to resist, fighting desperately.

Soon enough, they witnessed what a fallen ancient dynasty meant.

Varesa!

As the former ruler of this ancient dynasty, Vic, although his mind was filled with more memories of life, was well aware of one feature of Varesa.

Runes!

The research of the Varesa Dynasty on "runes" had reached the pinnacle.

There was no need to cite references for explanation.

Because that monumental Sun Giant was the best proof!

Its entire body was composed of rune-engraved ores, with effects so terrifying in variety, representing the height of Varesa wisdom!

Under such premises, every aspect of the Varesa Dynasty was inseparable from "runes."

The Varesa soldiers before them, their armor engraved with runes, achieving a toughness far exceeding ordinary armor.

Moreover, it had various effects like damage reduction, immunity to special attacks, soul protection, etc.

This made each Varesa warrior armed to the teeth!

Neither Vic’s sword nor Fernar’s mark prayer could effectively attack them.

And this was just the armor aspect.

One must know, Varesa warriors also wielded rune weapons!

The warriors wielded greatswords of adjustable length, archers with self-guiding bows and arrows, even wielders of whips and magic staffs for control...

The intensity of this battle had the duo faintly biting down within minutes, heart heavy with unending distress.

"Fernar... Use the bottle!"

Fernar, having just found a brief moment to breathe and summon fear, heard Vic’s anxious shout.

"I know!"

He had no time for words, directly taking out the already cracked Bottle of Fear, muttering under his breath before popping the lid.

"Lay your fear upon the table..."

The deep, terrifying voice seemed to emerge from Fernar’s innermost being, making his heart involuntarily cold, his head dizzy, and his whole self feeling very uncomfortable.

"Kill the intruders!"

The Varesa Giant Warrior seized the chance and rushed before Fernar, its trident gathering blue energy, thrusting fiercely toward him.

At this moment, Fernar was still affected by the rational weakening effect of the Bottle of Fear.

Yet fortunately, as the Master of the Black Tide’s gift, the Bottle of Fear did its job uncompromisingly.

"Roar—"

With a terrifying roar, black tides surged from Fernar’s bottle, converging into a massive monster figure, catching the trident attack with its paws.

Following this, a beast-like head extended, biting fiercely at the Varesa Giant Warrior’s neck!

Bang!

The terror being seemed to chomp through an incredibly hard steel armor, echoing loudly, as extraordinary power clashed and erupted in waves, shaking the surrounding area.

Yet, surprisingly, even after its neck was forcefully bitten, the Varesa Giant Warrior showed no sign of pause, raising its trident to continue striking at the terror being.

Thud! Thud!

The two giant beings violently collided.

Meanwhile, Vic, witnessing, exhaled slightly in relief.

In his constant defensive maneuvers against the Varesa warriors, he felt a creeping wonder.

The neck of the Varesa Giant Warrior showed no blood flow, the wound grayish and desolate like a mummy.

Vic knew well that the Varesa Giant Warrior was no mindless corpse.

Why had it become this way?

With this thought, Vic took a deep breath.

No matter what, he must resolve the current predicament!

"Fernar, buy me some time!"

He shouted, fixing his gaze on the center of the Sun Giant’s hand.

If he remembered correctly, there existed a rune control hub within the Sun Giant’s palm.

If it’s shut down or destroyed, there would be hope in defeating the Varesa army ahead!

Upon hearing Vic’s voice, Fernar remained silent, just suppressing his mental discomfort as much as possible, commanding the terror being to fight desperately on the battlefield to clear a path for Vic.

...

Unbeknownst to them, Rogel was silently observing them.

In fact, Rogel had always been attentive to Vic.

After all, he was the one who brought him back and personally found the "banished spirit."
