Volume 1 Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Do Not Forget Hood’s Sacrifice!

Hood’s figure kept expanding until it was nearly ten meters tall, the same height as those Autonomous Guards.

In fact, it was even slightly taller.

The forbidden spell "Titan Resurrected" did indeed infuse a great amount of magical power into his body, and at this moment, the extraordinary energy around Hood was almost at the legendary level!

Hood stood firm on the ground!

Everyone looked up at the gigantic Hood, and finally, Master Krado spoke again.

"Everyone, don’t be frozen, we can’t let Hood sacrifice himself for nothing… Let’s move quickly!"

He said this very seriously.

"That’s right, we have limited time. Hood only bought us five minutes."

Lolth also agreed and said.

The giant Hood in the air protested loudly like thunder.

"Hey—I’m still alive! What do you mean by not letting me ‘sacrifice for nothing’? Why do you think I’m about to die? Didn’t we agree that I would just give it a try?"

He shouted in dissatisfaction, and Krado looked up at Hood, who was staring at him with two huge eyes, and cleared his throat softly twice.

"Ahem, so you heard that, huh?"

"Are you trying to keep something from me?"

Hood replied unhappily, with his hands on his hips.

At the same time, he also seemed very nervous and continued to ask.

"Are you sure I will still be safe in five minutes? This forbidden spell won’t make me die right away, will it?"

Clearly, Krado and Lolth’s words made this fool alert.

"Don’t worry, ‘Titan Resurrected’ doesn’t work like that. If it did, he could just use it to kill important enemies in five minutes," Lolth waved his hand and said, "I promise you’ll be fine!"

After Lolth said this, Hood felt relieved and nodded slightly.

Clearly, compared to the noble Krado, Lolth was more trustworthy—plus, Lolth had shown his reliability along the way and even saved Julie, demonstrating his strong abilities.

To Hood, Lolth’s promise felt very real!

After Lolth, Krado added another sentence.

"You block them but don’t forget to move toward the center. After you start getting smaller, try to enter the palace area before you return to your normal size… We will do our best to protect you when we arrive."

Krado said this and then turned to run.

While a few people had a short conversation, the group of Autonomous Guards also noticed Hood’s presence.

Compared to the few guys on the ground, dealing with Hood became a higher priority for the Autonomous Guards.

They all raised their large magic devices and swung them at Hood.

Not a single one went to help Lolth and the others who had already started to flee.

The result was even better than Lolth and Krado had imagined!

Hood looked at the many weapons coming toward his head and his expression changed.

He could only grit his teeth and activate the knight’s skill.

"A strong body! A rock!"

Magic waves rose from Hood, and his skin and muscles became much tighter!

He took a strong stance, with his fists clenched in front of his chest, bracing himself to face the two giant weapons that came first.

It was a heavy hammer with a long handle and a spear that had just been pushed away by Ling.

The spear tip came first and poked Hood’s forearm…

"Clang!"

Hood took a step back, but the bronze spear could not pierce his forearm, only leaving a slight dent on it.

The magic protecting Hood’s body surged as the heavy hammer approached for a strike!

"Boom!"

The heavy hammer made Hood stagger a bit, almost falling to the ground.

But he still held on!

The martial skills Hood used, after getting very close to the legend level, were still the simplest skills among knights, yet they had reached a truly remarkable effect!

It’s like when a magic apprentice and a Great Sage cast Fireball together; the results are different, but it’s the same idea.

Hood’s defense has now increased many times.

"Titan Resurrected," besides boosting size and magical power, also adds to the defense and constitution of the target being released, on top of the size increase.

So, this move is especially suitable for knights and warriors.

Plus, Autonomous Guard is also a high defense, low attack type, and is not a traditional Superoperator.

With the extraordinary waves at the legend level combined with its metal anti-magic shell, it can make the Holy Domain shiver for a while.

But still, they are Autonomous Guards; at their core, they are magical devices, which do not have any means of attack or extraordinary skills to release.

Their combined attacking power comes from the magical devices in their hands.

So, although Krado and Lolth wanted Hood, the fool, to suffer a bit and see if he was hiding anything, they had also made some plans.

Even if five legendary-level beings fought one close to legendary, Hood could hold out for five minutes without any problem.

Moreover, Lolth and Krado also did not plan to completely ignore him.

If Hood really couldn’t hold on, the two would certainly take some action.

In fact, it’s likely that Ling and Raven might also join in again at that time.

Several observant people clearly noticed this.

Among everyone watching as the giant Hood was surrounded by several giant guards, only Florence showed a look of worry.

Hood just saved him once.

"Darn, he is only at the Elite Level… If only I could have done it!"

While riding Hood’s pangolin and following behind the others, Florence said unwillingly.

Lolth and Krado glanced back, and then Krado shook his head.

"Florence, you cannot do it."

"Why… My defense is clearly stronger!"

Florence said unhappily.

"Because you are a Hobbit," Lolth quickly replied, "It’s not about racial discrimination… It’s just that Hobbits, like dwarfs, naturally get a reduced effect from spells designed for humans, and also… you really are just over one meter tall…"

"Even if you consider the best case, you would only be five meters tall," Krado looked back at the several ten-meter giants, "The target is not big enough… You can’t hold the monster!"

Florence was silent.

"Darn it!"

He clenched his fist and said angrily.

Seeing Florence’s expression, Ling felt it was too much and shook her head to comfort him.

"Don’t worry, that guy will be fine… just wait and see."

Suddenly, in the direction where Hood was standing, a loud noise erupted, as if to agree with Ling’s words!

"Bang!"

Nine bronze Autonomous Guards attacked at the same time!

They all struck Hood with their magic devices at the same moment.

But…

"Hahahahahaha!"

Hood’s strong laughter came from inside, announcing that he successfully withstood this round of attack!
