Almost at the moment the stone giant rushed up.

——"Giant Transformation Technique!"

The five Saron spearmen stood firm and activated their natural abilities at the same time.

Amidst bursts of crackling and popping sounds, their armor, bodies, and weapons all grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they were as big as orcs over 2 meters tall.

——"Spray flames!"

As the flaming spears held by the five Saron spearmen, dark red runes flowed out wisps of fire element energy.

Their gun heads were like focused flamethrowers, spraying out hot cone-shaped flames at the same time, covering the stone giant's burly body in raging flames.

The stone giant roared again and again. He endured the severe pain of the flames and rushed out of the sea of ​​fire angrily. With his body like a hill, he mercilessly knocked away a Saron spearman who was caught off guard.

Then, he grasped a spear that stabbed his abdomen with both hands, and swept it out with all his strength, sweeping away all three companions next to the gray dwarf.

The two gray dwarves bumped into each other and staggered to the ground as if they were drunk.

The head of another gray dwarf wearing a steel helmet hit the ground first. The helmet collided with the hard surface, making a loud clang and denting a large area.

The stone giant kicked away the last Saron spearman, a stream of earth elemental energy floated over, and he released his own spell-like spell again.

——"Stone Claw Technique!"

A rock arm as thick as the stone giant's thigh suddenly broke out of the hard rock surface, twisting like a snake to lock a panicked Saron spearman.

The gray dwarf screamed and struggled wildly, but the moment the stone giant clenched his fist, his body and armor were crushed flat.

Streams of blood flowed down the rough outline of the rock arm.

This tragic scene caused the people watching from a distance to gasp and subconsciously stay away from the battlefield.

"Roar!"

The stone giant roared excitedly and stepped on the gray dwarf whose helmet was severely deformed.

The two gray dwarves who got up from the ground quickly grasped the spears in their hands and aimed the spear points that jumped out of the flames at the stone giant's buttocks.

"Bang! Bang!"

However, what dumbfounded the two gray dwarves was that the stone giants' "Stoneskin Technique" had not disappeared, and their spears seemed to be piercing hard stones.

Fortunately, however, the flames jumped out of the spear and injured the stone giant.

His body suddenly tensed up, as if he had been hit somewhere. He covered his buttocks and let out a low roar of pain.

At this moment, a dark purple force field energy appeared out of thin air behind the stone giant's head.

"boom!"

The sparkling purple force field energy transformed into a ram's head-shaped battering ram, which hit the stone giant's hard head hard.

The pained stone giant rolled his eyes, his burly and majestic body softened, and he fainted on the ground.

"Kill him!" The captain, who finally took off the deformed helmet from his head, wiped the blood on his bald head and gave the order breathlessly.

"Wait a moment!"

Brian appeared from the corner, came to the stone giant, and stopped their actions.

"Foreigners from the surface, thank you for helping us subdue this crazy big guy." The captain of the Saron Spearmen thanked Brian, and then said: "But you have no right to interfere with our exercise of the laws of King Aldus City.

.”

"I really have no right to interfere with you."

Brian replied calmly, "However, I know the covenant signed between the Stone Giant clan and your gray dwarf clan. Therefore, according to tradition, you have no right to deal with this stone giant who has been cursed by the devil."

Petty crimes are rare in Aldus King City.

The duergar here follow a strict code of honor, so their laws are simple and practical.

All gray dwarves, whether they are guards or civilians, can become invisible and observe secretly at any time, which makes any possible crimes and disputes full of uncertainty and danger.

Clan landowners have the power to punish criminals of their own clan.

Crimes that occurred between clans would be brought to the Landlords' Assembly for swift and strict adjudication.

Since punishments such as humiliation, mutilation, and imprisonment are seen as a waste of resources and the creation of social weaklings, duergar prefer direct executions for intentional crimes.

If a gray dwarf commits an accidental crime, it is usually offset by property or work.

However, when derro, slaves, or outsiders are caught committing crimes, any duergar can execute the sentence on the spot.

The only exception to this is the stone giant in the Smoky Quartz Cave.

"I will definitely report today's incident to the King of Deep Earth."

The gray dwarf captain carried his own spear, resisting the urge to poke a few transparent holes in the unconscious stone giant, and said angrily, "Let the Stone Whisperer Hegram be responsible for the misfortune that happened today."

in the end."

"as long as you are happy."

Brian shrugged and gave him a smile.

As he expected, another burly stone giant came to the market where order was gradually restored.

"I'm very sorry, Captain Saron." The new stone giant said apologetically to the gray dwarf captain:

"Leawood is a student of Lord Stone Whisperer. When he was 'communicating with stones' in the Smoky Quartz Cave, he suddenly fell into madness. After growing a finger on each hand, he rushed out angrily in order not to affect the order of the city.

, Your Excellency Stone Whisperer asked me to take him back."

"as long as you are happy."

The gray dwarf captain touched the wound on his bald head, replied impatiently, and then said angrily, "I will report today's matter to the Deep King. You stupid stone men, let's go."

Let’s see.”

After saying that, the gray dwarf captain carried his spear and led his men away.

"My friend, thank you for your help and saving my friend's life. Your Excellency Stone Whisperer already knows what happened yesterday."

The newly-appeared stone giant carried his unconscious companion, looked at Brian and Brian apologetically, and said in a sincere tone:

"Leawood was affected by the devil's curse and made a rude move. I deeply apologize for this. At the same time, Your Excellency Stone Whisperer sincerely invites you to visit the Smoky Quartz Cave and is willing to guide you to the 'Dreamland'."

Earth's way."
