Chapter 522 Giants
"Of course, it will be. Aoi, don't you have confidence in me?" Sofia's eyes squinted.
Aoi sighed at her master's behavior. With the help of destruction energy, even in the realm of A rank, her master could pose a threat to certain S ranks. But posing a threat doesn't mean she could defeat them. It depends if her master would be able to land a hit on her opponent.
After all, destruction energy was one of the highest forces known for its damage. Currently, it was just limited because of Sofia's strength. If Sofia reached the S rank realm, her destruction energy would become stronger and reach a qualitative change. It might be to the point that even the SS-rank creatures with a powerful defense have to evade her attacks.
"No, but it's an S rank we are talking about. I'm just worried."
Hearing the tone of concern on Aoi's, Sofia looked at Fein for help.
"Well, don't worry too much." Fein smiled. "I won't let even a strand of hair get close to your master."
Aoi felt reassured by Fein's words. 'Well, he is the master's boyfriend. He won't let her get in danger.'
"Are you ready? I'll use my teleportation this time since I can use my perception again."
...
On a certain part of the desert. Fein appeared with Sofia and others. In front of them was a village with extremely large wooden houses.
In them, Fein felt a strong presence. The village wasn't exactly a human village, but a village of giants!
Due to the presence of human society, some giant groups were influenced and started to copy the concept of houses. Of course, the IQ of average giants isn't enough for this. Only with the presence of S-rank giants that lead them can it become possible.
"T-this... Why are the houses so big?" Voli asked with curiosity.
"This is a village of giants... There are twenty A-rank giants here and their leader was an S-rank one. It was a golden grade at that." Fein explained.
"Aren't giants usually the only common grade?" Sofia asked as she have read something related to this topic once in their library. "To be able to create a village like this. The IQ of their leader must be on par with Voli and Aoi."
"Usually." Fein paused for a moment. "But in every rule, there's always an exception. There might have been ordinary A-rank giants once. It probably experiences its first evolution. Haven't you read the theory of evolution in the book from your library?"
"No, I'm not as abnormal as you. I only read things that interest me."
"Is that so? Let me explain to you my understanding of their evolution, then."
Fein gave a slight smile. He knew that not anyone was as studious as him. After all, reading a lot of books and understanding them consumes time and effort. Not anyone has S rank memory and processing ability like him. There's no comparison at all, as he just needed to record knowledge on his memory and take his time to understand them.
Just like that, Fein began to talk about the theory of evolution regarding the monsters in front of the village of giants.
"So it's like this..."
Aoi and Voli listened intently as the topic was about a beast like them.
"First of all, all monsters have the chance for evolution, but it depends on their latent talent or pedigree. The talent of the beasts can help them to evolve.
Most common-grade monsters could only evolve once. They evolve to golden grade, but after that their potential would be exhausted. But there is always an exception... Sometimes, a monster with huge potential and fairly good bloodline concentration of their ancestor helps them to evolve into a golden grade, then at the legendary grade, to become a legendary beast. But such cases are rare."
Fein stopped for a moment to breathe. Then, after a few seconds, he continued. "There can also be golden grades that could evolve into legendary beasts, but at that time, they won't be able to evolve into a mythical beasts. After all, the evolution to the legendary beast has already exhausted almost all the monster's potential. The chance of evolution again would be only 10%"
"No wonder..." Sofia nodded. Then her expression turned inquisitive. "Can a naturally born legendary beast evolve into a mythical one?"
"I don't know, since there's no record in the book about such a thing. It might be possible, but the beast has to be super-talented. Though there's another way if external factors are involved." Fein smiled.
Seeing this, Sofia turned her head to Voli and Aoi. "Like Voli and Aoi, right?"
"That's right. If there's blood purifying pill like what we have acquired in the Monster World Realm."
Fein explained patiently. After seeing that Sofia have no other questions, he turned his attention back to the gigantic village.
With that, Fein and Sofia, along with Voli and Aoi. They bypassed the fifteen-meter wooden wall.
Then Fein, who was above the wall, saw a hundred giants that were walking around the village.
The village doesn't have much difference from some of the human villages that he had seen outside. Except, the houses are big, and there's no equipment or objects that were as big as them.
"They are really A rank giant." Sofia felt the aura of the giants on the same level as her. She saw the giants do nothing but just patrol around like they were guards on duty.
'These giants weren't that dumb after all.' Fein scanned his head with a thoughtful expression.
"Master, where is their leader??"
Voli glance at the scenery below the wall but he could sense that all of them were A rank.
Fein jumped from the wall to the ground. The 50-meter-high wall wasn't a joke. If it was a regular human, they would have already turned into a meat paste. Such an impact and speed of the wall wasn't something a non-degu user would be able to endure.
'Well, it seems the master is excited to face the giants.' Voli immediately jumped after Fein, which made Sofia and Aoi do the same.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
They were like human cannonballs after they landed on the surface. Their fall caused four deep circular pits on the ground and it also attracted the attention of the giants.π³π―πeπΈπ²π―π·πΌππ¦l. πoπ
