The intense heat, accompanied by the spread of energy, instantly extinguished the nearby raging flames.
The magician, who had no idea that Lu Xuan's counterattack would be so crazy, was instantly pierced through by that terrifying "palm cannon".
——Electromagnetic Reinforced Gloves - Palm Cannon!
......................................................................................................
"How can it be?!"
With great difficulty, the magician looked down at the hole in his chest, his face filled with disbelief.
A mere human being on Earth, a mere material life form...
His attack was able to penetrate the barrier of holy flames and severely damage his current body.
If the Kiriel people weren't true spiritual beings, the magician would already be dead.
Even so, losing this body means that the magician's decades of effort have been in vain.
After all, the Kiriel people are not exactly harmonious among themselves.
Every Kiriel is striving to climb higher, trying to trample their own kind underfoot.
Therefore, once the magician returns to the spacetime rift exclusive to the Kiriel, it will not be so easy for her to find a suitable body for a believer to descend upon again.
"Mere material life!"
The magician, filled with shock and rage, roared desperately, controlling the doomed body to transform it into an even more ferocious burning flame.
tumultuous!
In the blink of an eye, the flames spread like wildfire, quickly igniting everything within a hundred meters.
Surrounded by the flames, Lu Xuan and Daigu realized the urgency of the situation.
"I hate bosses that have built-in area-of-effect (AOE) damage..."
Accompanied by his familiar sarcastic remarks, Lu Xuan lifted up the large Gula that had been kicked away earlier.
"If that really is the BOSS..."
"So her current form must be her second form, right?"
Upon hearing this, Daigo, who had gradually become familiar with Lu Xuan's personality, took over the conversation and forced a smile despite the intense pain in his body.
Just as the magician sacrificed her body to summon the raging fire, a faint spiritual entity appeared behind her.
That is the true Kiriel, and the true form of the magician.
"Can you handle this monster?"
Unable to resist turning his head to glance at Lu Xuan beside him, Daigo, who had an inexplicable confidence in this alien, asked.
"That seems to be something like a ghost; normal attacks certainly won't have much effect on it."
This is not Daigo's guess, but rather a fact that the characteristics exhibited by the Kiriel people are indeed as described.
The raging flames around it could not harm it in the slightest, as if it did not exist in the material world; it was a simple projection of consciousness.
"That is a spiritual life form, which in theory can be immune to all tangible material damage."
"I've never studied this kind of supernatural stuff, how could there possibly be a way to deal with it?"
Rolling his eyes in annoyance, Lu Xuan felt that he just knew a little more and had done a little more research. He wasn't really Doraemon, so how could he possibly deal with such an invisible being?
However, right after Lu Xuan finished speaking, he paused for a moment as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Wait, it's not entirely without a solution..."
Lu Xuan thoughtfully opened his palm, revealing a faint glow, like a candle flame, gathering in his hand.
That was Lu Xuan's superpower, a collection of pure light particles.
"Light?"
Unlike Daigo, who looked completely bewildered, the magician showed a look of horror the moment he saw the ball of light.
"how is this possible?"
"How could you possibly awaken the genes of those ancient humans?"
With the magician's exclamation, the nearby flames went out silently, as if their energy had been drained.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xuan suddenly made a clenched fist towards the magician.
Then the spiritual entity that symbolized the "original body" was distorted by an invisible force.
【ah! 】
A mournful cry, seemingly emanating from the depths of their souls, suddenly resounded in the minds of Daigo and Lu Xuan.
This psychological shock caused both of them to experience splitting headaches for a time.
However, Lu Xuan was no ordinary person; the magician's mental shock only confirmed his suspicions.
"Looks like I can use my superpower to exorcise evil spirits..."
Ignoring the magician's wails, a painful, sinister smile gradually appeared on Lu Xuan's lips.
For Lu Xuan, mental anguish only fueled his fighting spirit and competitiveness, rather than the fear and dread that a magician might expect.
You despicable material beings!
After realizing that his attacks could not cause any more damage to Lu Xuan and Daigu.
The magician immediately disregarded the aftereffects of overworking his mental energy and transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky.
If this continues, it won't be a question of whether I can severely damage these two material beings, but rather whether I can survive.
Lu Xuan's superpowers can affect the mental level, and naturally they also have an astonishing destructive power against the physical bodies of the Kiriel people.
This may be the Kiriel's greatest weakness.
As long as the right methods and means can be found, even the so-called "magician" Kiriel's messenger will not be much more difficult to deal with than an ordinary human.
"She ran into the pyramids!"
As the streak of light broke free from the constraints of the light particles, Daigo instinctively sensed an impending crisis and shouted uncontrollably.
"I have eyes, I can see!"
Just as Lu Xuan hadn't expected the magician to be so decisive, he watched helplessly as the streaks of light disappeared into the black pyramid, but it was too late to stop them.
Rumble…
The next second, a huge tremor came from the black pyramid.
With the earth shaking violently, the entire underground world seemed to be experiencing a terrible earthquake.
Chapter 38 The Ancient Komainu - Gedi (New book, please read!)
"Is this the resurrection of giants?"
Looking incredulously in the direction of the black pyramid, Lu Xuan never imagined that the ancient giants would be resurrected in this way.
However, what happened next shattered Lu Xuan's expectations.
Boom!
Unlike the previous earthquake-like shaking.
This time, a wall on the side of the black pyramid was breached.
The magnificent, towering black pyramid was shattered from the inside by a tremendous force, accompanied by the magician's frantic shouts.
[Foolish Earthlings! You forced me into this situation!]
Amid the magician's frenzied shouts, a colossal figure, over fifty meters tall and as imposing as a mountain, slowly emerged from the black pyramid.
Long... long... long...
It was a monster that stood upright, its entire body covered in a gray, keratinous structure.
The monster's head was as ferocious as a hunting dog's, and it also had three pairs of horns that extended backward.
Its overall appearance, resembling a lion's mane bristling with fury, adds to its majestic presence.
Especially the pair of giant golden horns on its head that curve backward, which alone give it a solemn feel.
In addition, the monster's back has obvious tortoise shell features, which clearly indicate that it has extremely strong defensive capabilities.
However, what truly caught Lu Xuan's attention, rather than these physical features, was a light blue energy timer on the monster's chest.
"Could it be that this pyramid contains more than just the bodies of ancient giants?"
Lu Xuan wasn't the only one with this question; Daigo, who had also noticed the monster, was also involved.
Compared to Lu Xuan, who was single-mindedly thinking about how to enter the Black Pyramid.
Daigo, who had previously focused on studying the murals, immediately recognized the suddenly appearing monster as a Komainu, who fought alongside the giants.
"Those are the komainu from the mural!"
Thanks to Daigo's timely reminder, Lu Xuan immediately recognized the monster's identity.
This only made him more confused. When did such a monster appear in Ultraman Tiga?
Moreover, the energy crystal on the opponent's chest is clearly Ultraman's unique color timer. Why is it now on this monster?
Could it be that I wasn't paying attention when watching Ultraman Tiga and thus missed some details?
Or perhaps, after more than ten years of being transported to this world, my original memories have become blurred and inaccurate?
Upon closer examination, it doesn't seem like such an impossible thing.
After all, Lu Xuan was forced to watch Ultraman by his older sister back then, and with more than ten years having passed, it's completely understandable that he might have forgotten or missed some details.
......................................................................................................
"Ouch!"
With a howl like a wolfhound, the komainu immediately turned its gaze to the two human "intruders" not far away.
The Komainu's real name is Guardian – meaning "guardian".
This is the name that giant gave to his companion 30 million years ago, embodying his belief that it would protect the earth together with him.
And after the giants left Earth.
Gedi has been sleeping inside the black pyramid ever since, silently guarding the body left behind by the giant, hoping that one day he can fight alongside him again.
Kill them!
Through the Kiriel's unique mental intrusion, the magician's voice echoed in Gedi's mind, attempting to incite the anger and hatred within him.
Unfortunately, the crow's hound from 30 million years ago completely ignored the magician's enticement.
Compared to ordinary people, the mental capacity of the Kiriel people is undoubtedly enormous and terrifying.
However, compared to the hellhound Gedi, which existed 30 million years ago.
The magician's attempts at mental manipulation are merely noise and cannot truly influence their actions.
In particular, Gedi sensed a familiar aura from both Lu Xuan and Daigu—a unique aura from the ancient giants of thirty million years ago.
The magician's seductive charm was even less effective; Gedi even found her a bit noisy.
......................................................................................................
Meanwhile, in the darkness not far from the black pyramid.
"That arrogant fool has finally gotten himself into big trouble!"
The prophet, or rather, Mitsuo Itabashi, cursed through gritted teeth, mentally wishing the magician a thousand cuts.
It's one thing for two humans with ancient genes to break into the underground world.
Most importantly, that guy has now actually taken it upon himself to awaken the "Guardian" sleeping inside the black pyramid.
It's important to know that the reason the Kiriael people didn't conduct large-scale excavation and research on this black pyramid was because of the existence of this "guardian".
Unlike the giants whose original bodies have already left Earth.
This "Guardian" is a primordial monster from Earth's ancient past, and it retains its consciousness even after being turned into a stone statue.
The fact that the "Guardian" was forcibly awakened by the magician not only greatly disrupted the Kiriel people's original plans, but may even delay the possibility of the Kiriel gods descending.
