Since Light Culler Murskogan didn't obtain a long lifespan from a Beyonder characteristic, Klein could only consider external factors.
The effects of a mystical item? No, he doesn't have any mystical items on him, nor does the surrounding area. Apart from the Giant King's residence, that's where Dark Angel Sasrir slumbers. Furthermore, the key is with me. Murskogan likely doesn't dare to enter …
Who took away the key to the Giant King's residence after Sasrir slumbered? Isn't that a little too wicked? Of course, a palace without the augmentation of a deity's powers probably can't trap a King of Angels … Or perhaps, this key has long been scattered to the Northern Continent with the migration of the giants. Sasrir chose that palace to slumber because other than a few existences, no one can open the door and affect "His" slumber?
Could it be that Vice Admiral Iceberg's key was given by the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in a roundabout way? "He" wants to see Sasrir's current state?
If it's not the effects of a mystical item, what could it be? Time bestowed by a Marauder pathway angel? Ignoring the fact that the illusory item stolen can be given to others, there needs to be an angel of the Marauder pathway or a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. And there aren't any similar existences nearby … Back then, he gave Murskogan a few thousand years of time at once? This … Perhaps only Amon can do it. Clearly, "He" wouldn't help Dark Angel Sasrir …
In addition, this Blasphemer's true body seems to be wandering in the Forsaken Land of the Gods. If there's an angel of the Marauder pathway or a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact here, "He" might've long become "His" food …
The cycle of fate? After Light Culler Murskogan died of old age, everything began from him guarding Sasrir? Yes, that's possible. If Murskogan is already in an old state, then it's completely understandable that a long period of time has passed … Furthermore, as this cycle has been sealed for hundreds of years, it hasn't reached a node yet. It's normal that I didn't discover any signs above the gray fog in my haste …
With this in mind, Klein quickly observed his surroundings, searching for traces left behind by Angel of Fate Ouroboros.
However, there were no remnants of such powers.
Klein hurriedly retracted his gaze and continued observing Light Culler Murskogan, who was engaged in an intense battle with Colin Iliad and the silver-armored knight evil spirit.
His Spirit Body Threads are normal, eliminating the possibility of him becoming a marionette … Under "true vision," his condition isn't abnormal. This means that he isn't a historical projection that was summoned …
The divine kingdom of the Giant King's Court slows down the passage of time or aging? The former can be eliminated because my spirituality is about to be unable to support such observations. This matches the amount of time the City of Silver's expedition team has spent in this area … There's a certain possibility of the latter. Life is at dusk, but it's also frozen at dusk?
"But the problem is that the ancient god, the Giant King, has already perished. Badheil, who wields the power of dawn and dusk, has moved the divine kingdom to the astral world. It's unlikely that such a powerful influence remains in this court …" Klein ran through all the methods he could think of to extend his life, but none of them matched the situation of the leader of the Court Chasers.
He had to consider another possibility:
Some kind of mystic technique with huge flaws?
This should rely on some kind of power in the Giant King's Court. Otherwise, Murskogan's range of activity wouldn't be so small. He wouldn't have waited until the City of Silver's expedition team arrived at the Giant King's residence before taking action …
There's clearly another entity related to life in the Giant King's Court. That's the former Goddess of Harvest, the current Earth Mother, Giant Queen Omebella.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Klein's heart stirred as he cast his gaze at the giant statues outside the Giant King's palace.
They weren't much different from the ones the City of Silver's expedition team had encountered along the way, except that they were a little taller.
However, with Klein's careful examination, a small number of abnormalities appeared. These giant statues had the aura of life and a certain amount of spirituality, but behind the mask, it was pitch-black. There was no crimson light flickering.
This … Light Culler Murskogan used a certain mystic technique in the domain of life to bind his spirit to the animated statues. He used them to obtain a long lifespan, but because of this, he's limited to such an area, unable to leave … This is very similar to the existence of evil spirits … This way, Murskogan might not be able to reveal his Mythical Creature form normally … Klein conjured a gold coin and tossed it up to confirm.
After seeing that the answer was "yes," he raised the Sea God Scepter and prepared to use the prayer light to remind Little Sun.
At this moment, Demon Hunter Colin, who had dodged Murskogan's attack, suddenly rolled around him and ran towards the Giant King's residence from the side.
His gaze was locked onto the few giant statues!
In the intense battle just now, although the City of Silver's Chief had been at a disadvantage, he didn't give up on observing his surroundings, nor did he stop thinking.
He was also puzzled as to why the leader of the King's Court Chasers could live for thousands of years. When he discovered that the animated giant statues were only standing outside the palace and didn't participate in the battle, he already had a certain judgment.
He wasn't sure what was going on, what principles it was based on, or which domain it came from, but his rich exploration experience and Demon Hunter intuition made him believe that the statues were the key to the problem!
Tap! Tap!
Tap! Colin Iliad held his two swords and ran with large strides. However, he didn't run in a straight line. From time to time, he would turn left and turn right.
Upon seeing this scene, Light Culler Murskogan let out an angry roar. He held his broadsword with both hands and quickly slashed down.
His reaction proved that Colin Iliad's judgment was correct.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Demon Hunter Colin suddenly leaped away and continued rolling. And on his original trajectory, silver beams appeared out of thin air and exploded, forming a "long snake." It completely lifted up the hard and firm ground of the King's Court, tearing deep cracks.
With a thud, Light Culler Murskogan took a step forward. His nearly five-meter-tall body bent and slammed the silver broadsword in his hand into the ground.
Clang!
The area shook violently. The stone pillars and railings snapped and fell into the bottomless orange-red clouds. The ground between the two buildings exploded layer by layer, sending countless gravel flying.
As for Demon Hunter Colin, he had already leaped up in advance. In midair, he crossed his swords, creating an invisible barrier that blocked the arrow-like gravel.
At this moment, Murskogan, who had his back bent, flicked his knee, and his massive body flew out like a meteor, instantly closing the distance between him and Demon Hunter Colin.
During this process, he held the silver broadsword tightly with both hands and swung it upwards.
Seeing that Demon Hunter Colin had nowhere to hide, a clear beam of light suddenly shot over and accurately hit Murskogan's broadsword.
With a clang, Colin Iliad landed on the ground and rolled. In one fell swoop, he finally approached the giant statues.
At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he saw that the silver-armored knight phantom in front of Shepherd Elder Lovia had already pulled out its greatsword. It had condensed the light of dawn into a huge bow and continuously shot out arrows of light.
The single eye behind Light Slayer Murskogan's visor was already dyed with a layer of dark red. He ignored the arrows of light and allowed them to hit his body, producing clanging sounds.
He constantly charged forward and brandished his broadsword, causing silver light to burst out from different parts of the void. He chased after the giant-like Demon Hunter Colin, preventing him from having a chance to attack the giant statues.
Suddenly, an arrow that was condensed with a bright luster leaped over Murskogan and silently shot into the gap in one of the statues' masks.
This came from the evil spirit that Shepherd Lovia had "Grazed."
Demon Hunter Colin was the bait, and it was the true attacker.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Arrows of light flew over one after another, but this time, they were all blocked by Murskogan.
However, at this moment, the Demon Hunter had already found a spot and brandished his two swords covered in the light of dawn at the remaining giant statues.
Light bloomed as a "storm" covered the area.
Amidst the continuous cracking sounds, the statues collapsed and fell to the ground. As for Light Culler Murskogan's aura, it rapidly weakened.
The leader of the King's Court Chasers roared angrily:
"Let's die together!"
The silver broadsword in his hand exploded, splitting into countless fragments of light. They formed a terrifying storm that swept towards everything around it.
The silver-armored knight's evil spirit and Demon Hunter Colin stabbed their swords into the ground at the same time, creating an invisible barrier.
The blazing white light swept between the two buildings, destroying the grayish-blue door and the stone pillars behind Derrick and company. And when it "scraped" the Giant King's residence, it didn't budge at all.
After an unknown period of time, just as Derrick thought that the invisible barrier was about to be torn apart by the Storm of Light, the light of dawn finally dimmed.
In the ruined area, the silver armor on Light Culler Murskogan's body faded away inch by inch, revealing his grayish-blue body in linen clothes.
Not far from him, Demon Hunter Colin's body was covered in blood. He was returning to his normal state from a giant, but his aura was still stable. It was just that he had weakened a little more than before.
With a thud, Murskogan knelt down on one knee. His flesh and blood rapidly aged, rotting, and "evaporating."
Amidst the orange-red light, the lively King's Court seemed to appear in front of him again. In the frozen dusk, giants came and went, playing the seven-stringed zither and bone flute. They engaged in gladiatorial fights and enjoyed the delicacies that were available at any time. Their lives passed extremely slowly, and their King sat on a high throne, watching everything in a dignified manner.
This no longer existed after that incident. Therefore, he chose to follow Dark Angel Sasrir.
A smile appeared on Murskogan's face as he opened his mouth and shouted softly:
"King …"
This King's Court Chaser lowered his head. The flesh and blood on his body "evaporated," leaving behind a huge white skeleton and silver-white light that had condensed once again.
