Chapter 57: Chapter 56: The Brutal Half-Metal Giant
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After he closed the [Forum Chat], Richard continued his journey.
On his way to the gold mine, he went to the gemstone mine he discovered the other day to check.
More than a dozen residents under the protection of the mummies came to mine ore this morning.
Richard could hear the digging sound from far away.
When the residents saw that Richard had arrived, they bowed one after another.
Richard nodded and deliberately stayed there to watch for a few minutes.
Mining was very dull. One would repeatedly wave tools to dig out small gems inside.
Nothing was interesting about it.
After Richard made sure that was nothing wrong with the mine, he did not stay any longer and turned around to leave.
The miniature gemstone mine only produced three units of gems a day, so he had to wait patiently.
The gemstone mine was about 20 minutes away from the gold mine. When Richard saw the huge rocks in front of him again, he immediately became excited.
“Everyone, get ready for battle! The defense of the half-metal giants is extremely shocking, and their strength is also terrifying. Don’t clash head-on with them. The scorpion warriors and the cursed pharaohs are the shields, and the undead soldiers lead the attack! Use the Soul Execution to kill them!”
Richard looked into the distance. The brawny soldiers who patrolled between the enormous rocks appeared before him.

[Description: Little brat, I’ll stand and hack you for three minutes. If you can break through my defense, count it as my loss.]
Although he had seen it once, this time, Richard still felt that it was trulyf*cking hard.
Skills and fetters were all added to the defense.
This thing, even an ordinary weapon, would not be able to leave a white mark.
The goat monsters Richard killed the other day were pronouncedly a few levels worse than the half-metal giants.
It was simply heaven-defying physical damage.
“But after all my calculations, I didn’t expect the Axe of the Dead to have magic damage…”
Richard laughed. In a good mood, he immediately gave the order.
“Attack formation!”
Two teams of Poison Scorpion Warriors stepped forward. One and a half teams of Axe of the Dead stood 20 meters behind the Poison Scorpion Warriors.
A similar number from the Cursed Pharaohs stood 50 meters away from the Poison Scorpion Warriors.
Richard realized the power of this iron mine when he annihilated the Devil Goat Monster the other day.
The movements outside immediately attracted the attention of the brawny soldiers in the gold mine.
‘Clang! Clang! Clang!’
The earth began to shake.
One by one, huge figures walked out of the gold mine.
Those vast, purple gem-like eyes stared at the enemies that suddenly appeared outside with sparkling eyes.
The tip of their noses twitched slightly. Their faces revealed a hint of anger like water poured into steel.
“Damned undead! How dare you step into our territory!”
The voice that sounded like muffled thunder spread far and wide.
The other half-metal giants in the gold mine were also alarmed.
One by one, they walked out.
From the outside, it looked like small hills were moving.
The scorpion warriors guarding the front line were not afraid at all, and they provoked loudly.
“Leave this gold mine! This is Twilight City’s territory!!”
The half-metal giant, whose anger had already risen, was even more furious.
“This is our territory!!!”
The first half-metal giant who spoke rushed out. It would let these lowly beings know what cruelty was!
‘Roar!’
A roar, like a clap of thunder, exploded in their ears.
Sand burst everywhere.
A sandy ground appeared after leaving the gold mine for more than 20 meters. Every step the half-metal giant took would raise a sky full of yellow sand.
A monster ran out with the imposing manner of an army.
Its vast and sturdy body was exceedingly mighty.
After the opponent got close, the pressure suddenly increased.
No one would doubt that this behemoth could burst out with terrifying damage!
But the undead soldiers would never be afraid.
After the half-metal giant stepped into the 10-meter range, the undead soldiers simultaneously threw out 15 tomahawks in their hands.
The half-metal giant was proud of its fantastic defense, so it had no intention of dodging.
Instead, it raised its head and stepped forward with its head held high.
It would never believe that these tomahawks of these undead soldiers could break through its body, which had been forged by devouring countless gold.
‘Clang! Clang!’
The tomahawks hit the half-metal giants.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The tomahawks were fierce, and large cracks appeared on the opponent’s body.
The additional magic damage pronouncedly exceeded the half-metal giant’s defensive range.
The confident half-metal giant’s eyes revealed an unconcealable shock.
‘Do these undead soldiers use magic damage?!’
‘How could those thick and heavy tomahawks cause magic damage?!’
Just as it was about to react, it suddenly felt an indescribably intense pain coming from its soul.
Then, its vision went black, and it lost consciousness.
It didn’t even have time to struggle for half a second.
‘Rumble!’
The colossal body collapsed onto the yellow sand.
The ground shook and crushed the sand. Deep marks were left.
Soul Execution.
The half-metal giants with complete defense enjoyed the unique characteristics of the undead soldiers.
Anticipation filled the half-metal giants at the back as they waited for their companions to counterattack and slaughtered them.
However, they did not expect the situation to be completely different from what they had expected.
The undead soldiers executed them before they got close to the enemy.
This considerable contrast made them feel like the flames had ignited in their chests.
These undead soldiers not only wanted to seize their territory but also dared to kill their comrades!
Unforgivable!
These four-meter-tall, three-ton behemoths clenched their fists and roared furiously.
They were going to crush these bugs!
“Sand Transformation!”
Richard, who commanded from behind, gave the order decisively.
Before the enemies could rush over, the scorpion warriors had already activated their most vital life-saving skill.
The half-metal giants were too powerful. Their size gave them terrifying strength.
Elite 3-star scorpion warriors would surely be unable to withstand the impact if they did not have the Sand Transformation.
They might even be wiped out in one wave.
However, after they activated the Sand Transformation, everything was different.
More than ten half-metal giants rushed to the front of the poison scorpion warrior in the endless yellow sand.
Two small parties also followed behind them.
The defensive power of this gold mine far exceeded that of the gemstone mine they occupied the other day.
‘Whoosh!’ The tomahawk tore through the air.
It slashed down horizontally.
‘Clang! Clang!’
Countless sparks scattered.
Under the full power of the Axe of the Dead between 20 to 30 meters, the half-metal giants who only touched their physical defenses felt the cruelty of reality.
Even if their tyrannical rock bodies were as rigid as a city wall, they were still crushed by the undead soldiers.
Fifteen undead soldiers caused the collapse of seven half-metal giants in the second round.
After the Axe of the Dead obtained battle merits, they pulled the chain fiercely, and the tomahawks were forced to return at a highly swift speed.
They were ready for the second round of throwing.
But at this moment, the half-metal giants who were utterly swallowed up by anger immediately counterattacked.
Several half-metal giants reached out their hands, pulled the chains that returned, and gripped them with force.
Their bodies seemed to emit metallic luster, and their bulging muscles suddenly tensed up.
A continuous burst of power erupted.
‘Kacha!’
The chains of the undead soldiers broke, and the tomahawks stabbed into the sand.
A half-metal giant grabbed the tomahawk and pulled it back.
‘Kacha! Kacha!’ It pulled the chains back.
The mountain-collapsing power pulled forward a 2.2-meter undead soldier who wore full body armor.
Its feet were pushed deep into the desert and then forcefully dragged, which left two pronounced marks on the sand.
Extremely powerful.
