Chapter 595 Stupid monsters
"Your Excellency!!" Following the Demon, the wind gathered around Alexander and he almost rushed forward as well, but Jabba's hand suddenly extended and grabbed his arm, so he looked behind him and shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Let me go! I might not be as strong as you or that demon, but I need to help!!"
"This isn't something you can middle in," *cough cough* Jabba coughed up some blood again but managed to get back to his feet, "and there's no need for you to help anyway."
"What do you mean there is no need for help? What is happening in the covered training hall? Did a Tree Father launch a surprise attack?!" Alexander asked in shock but his expression showed some ease. He knew how much Jabba loved his master and heard about that one time when Jabba renounced his tripe to follow Robin, so his speaking so calmly meant that the situation was at least not as bad as he thought.
"Hehe, just wait, what's the problem if you wait a little bit?" Jabba patted Alexander on the back and leaned on his shoulder, "Keep your eyes on the hall, you will witness a lovely scene in three... two... one..."
*Boom!!*
Another hole appeared in the ceiling of the covered training hall in a familiar scene. The difference was that this time the one who caused the hole was the Demon who had entered a short while ago!
Jabba pointed towards the Demon and laughed out loud, but Alexander moved quickly and created a wind pillow in the Demon's path to slow down its speed until it stopped, and then shouted in shock, "What the hell is going on in that hall?!"
*crack* *crack*
At this moment, the metal wall of the hall began to crack and fold like paper, and a giant appeared behind it, taking on a human form and shining golden.
*PAAM* *PAAM*
The sudden appearance of the golden giant and the sound of his steps shaking the ground attracted the attention of everyone on the steep hill. The headquarters staff closed the windows and doors on themselves and activated the defensive arrays. The development team members came out of their own building to observe what was happening. The sages and saints on guard raised their weapons and left to besiege the giant intruder... Everything was turned upside down in an instant!
"Whoever attacks the lord will die!!" The Demon also stood up and ran back to the golden giant with an almost palpable killing intent. Halfway through, his hand began to extend until it became twice its size, then its shape mutated to take the shape of a cleaver, and then he jumped on the giant without a bit of hesitation like he totally forgot what happened just a few seconds ago!
Robin's eyes lit up for a moment when he saw this change and felt the power behind the Demon's attack... His smile visibly grew, but he remained silent, watching.
"Ooooh!!!" The golden giant let out a war cry when he saw hundreds of Saints and Sages trying to surround him and pelt him with attacks. His shout alone was enough to push back the relatively low-level Saints.
Then a strange scene occurred... The giant moved his hand in a certain way, and a huge ball of flame appeared in front of him, and around him countless small fire pills took shape, Those small pills rushed towards the saints and sages, hitting them all in the middle of their chest and causing them to fall to the ground, writhing in pain, "AARGHH!!"
As for the huge ball of flame, it rushed towards the Demon and sent him flying again, but this time the Demon was able to cut the fireball in half in the end without sustaining any injuries and returned to jumping towards the golden giant once more.
As for Jabba and Alexander, they did not move. Whenever Alexander tried to take action, Jabba would stop him in their place and tell him not to move, so Alexander was busy with something else, examining the giant's face!
About a minute after the giant appeared, Alexander muttered in a low voice, "...Is that Julian Barnett?!"
"Ooooh!!" The human giant screamed again and took a stance challenging everyone. It seemed that he would not back down before he destroyed the hill with everyone on it!
The fallen soldiers stood up slowly, clutching their chests. Although they did not see a way to stop the figure, they had to continue until it retreated or they themselves would die. This giant must not be allowed to reach the settlement that contains their families at the foot of the steep hill!!
In this tense atmosphere, a calm voice was heard, "Alright Alright, you did a good job, Julian. Don't scare them anymore. Go back to the hall now."
"OOOOHH--oh, Yes your Excellency I will go back right away." The giant gave the military salute and then walked back towards the covered training hall again.
All eyes on the steep hill followed the strange scene with their mouths open. Their eyes remained focused on the golden giant until he entered the hall and folded the metal again to close the hall as if nothing had happened!
"Huh?!"
"Haha, well, everyone, go back to what you were doing. This was an exercise to test your preparedness in the face of emergencies, and you did well." Robin laughed out loud then motioned towards Jabba and Alexander, "Come with me." He then sent a strange look toward the slightly injured Demon and motioned to him, "You come too, we will talk inside." He started walking back to the hall
"...."
"...."
"Did you not hear, His Excellency? Go back to your posts, you scum!" Alexander shouted when he saw everyone still standing there trying to comprehend what had just happened. He then pointed towards a limping soldier who appeared to be in pain, "Hi you there, Don't pretend to be injured so you can avoid your duties for the day, the giant was messing with you and did not harm anyone greatly. If you don't move your ass now I'll be deducted 10 points from your tally."
At this moment, everyone regained their senses and began to run in all directions. Even the young soldier who was pretending to be injured ran like a horse. Only the Demon remained standing there in stupefaction for a few more seconds before he began moving toward the hall next to Alexander and Jabba.
"Hi, Lord's disciple... How did you gain this power and why did you become so short?" The Demon asked after taking several large steps
"That's not very polite, why don't you start with yourself? Tell me first why did YOU became so tall and how did you gain this strength? From what I saw from you, you are not much weaker than me." Jabba shrugged and responded with another question
"I'm not weaker than you in any way, you dwarf giant!" The Demon corrected, then went back to silence for a few seconds, before asking again "...What was this giant thing anyway? It has terrifying power... Did the Lord invent something new?"
"Oh, you have an unusually large number of words in your mouth for a Demon, Are you beginning to feel afraid that your standing with Master will diminish, you carrion eater? GOOOOD!" Jabba laughed when he heard the Demon's question, although these things rarely show any emotion, the hesitation was evident in his voice.
"...The Lord will never abandon us, not without a strong reason at least. As long as we obey him and carry out his orders, he will ignore everything he hears about us from the insects that want to create a wedge between us, and he will leave us clinging to his feet." After thinking for a few moments, the goblin spoke in his hoarse voice, then looked to the side, "But the same cannot be said about your kind, you short giant."
Jabba stopped in his tracks and looked at the Demon seriously, "What do you mean? My Nihari Giant race are not followers of my master in the first place, so how can he abandon them?"
"Exactly, Kekeke, they are not his followers since they rejected this blessing because they could not imagine being ruled by someone from a lower race, We are often called stupid monsters, but is there anyone more stupid than your father and the rest of your kind?" The Demon looked up and laughed out loud, "If I were you, I would stop fooling around, and worry about my family instead! You know how special you are in the hearts of us Demons, right? how can I describe it? Oh, it would be easier for me to repeat to you what that human said to me a moment ago: 'It's all about one word from the lord! Kekeke!'" Then he looked down at Jabba one last time, showing his ugly smile, and then walked alone into the hall.
Leaving Jabba standing alone with lost eyes...
