Chapter 133: Chapter 53: Bloodbath of Might! Skull-Crushing Sea Monster It shouldn’t be the Giant - Grendel.
Through a god-view perspective, Duncan observed and discovered that the monster’s skin was wrinkled like a hardened keratin layer, layered like scales, thicker than many leather armors, and without any special name tag.
However, Grendel is a name given by the natives, so perhaps it hasn’t truly made a name for itself yet.
According to legend, the monster plagued Denmark for twelve years, only encountering Beowulf, who then slew it, a few decades later.
"But it can’t be ruled out that it has already been born."
"Giants have a very long lifespan."
With this in mind, Duncan hesitated to act rashly.
It’s not that Duncan couldn’t defeat this giant monster, but rather if it really was a young Grendel, then it would have a powerful banshee mother behind it, as Beowulf’s famous battle was killing two monsters.
With a god-view perspective, Duncan didn’t mind observing a little longer to see if this monster had any other companions.
——"Legendary Level 4/8." (Received a point of Roman legendary level.)
Huh?
How did I suddenly gain an additional point of legendary level?
In Duncan’s god-view perspective, the giant monster was still sound asleep inside the cave, yet he suddenly gained an additional point of legendary level.
"Did Anya spread my fame to Rome?"
He was temporarily unsure of what happened.
But with an additional point of legendary level, as long as he could kill this monster, Duncan would be able to collect enough to engrave Dragon Bloodline’s legendary level.
The giant monster continued to sleep soundly.
Its cave was very deep, with a rather complex interior, even a god-view perspective couldn’t see through it entirely. But its mark was a three-star silvery-gray, indicating it was the strongest supernatural monster Duncan has encountered so far, requiring a bit of risk to deal with.
"Whether it’s giants from Norse legends or trolls from Saxon myths, they’re all thick-skinned and rumored to be immune to blades and guns."
"Wouldn’t the vow keeper be a bit inadequate?"
Duncan scouted the nearby terrain in search of a battlefield advantageous to him. Giants tend to be clumsy, so he needed an open area for kiting and maneuvering.
He definitely wouldn’t enter the cave; what business does a sharpshooter have inside a cave?
While Duncan was searching along the coastline for a suitable ambush site, a red light suddenly flashed in the projected image, and a new hostile target appeared.
——Sea Serpent (Monster Offspring) (Two-star Silvery-gray) [Hostile].
At this moment, the winds and waves began to rise, and in the waves of the distant sea, a gigantic sea serpent over ten meters long emerged. Its grotesque head resembled the massive serpent head of Jörmungandr from tales of war gods, covered in a thick keratin layer, with a body somewhat like a giant ribbonfish.
——Sea Demon (Mermaid) (Siren) (One-star Gold) [Neutral].
In the waves of the sea.
Under the god-view perspective, figures that were half-human, half-fish appeared, emerging from the sea to avoid the chase of the sea serpent and diving into a rocky area.
The water was shallower here.
Mermaids could move freely, but due to its large size, the sea serpent was unable to maneuver well, and unable to give chase, it circled outside the rocks.
"Is the sea monster hunting the mermaids?"
"Is this how exciting it is in the Nordics?"
Duncan had already brought out the Nord Bow, standing on a rock, with the fierce wind blowing, causing his hair to fly. He tried it and then put the Nord Bow away again.
The wind was too strong.
Only the wind arrow powered by magic from the Nord Bow could ignore the interference of wind direction; ordinary arrows were completely useless at this moment, having no power when shot into the water.
But Duncan had little magic power, only enough to shoot one arrow.
A beautiful song began to play.
The sea demons who had escaped into the rock-strewn area began to gather, and they seemed to notice Duncan on the shore, with the lead sea demon whispering a chant, seemingly trying to lure him over.
"Detected magic flow!"
"Detected supernatural power ’Enchanting Melody’."
"Willpower immunity passed."
"Invalid!"
The sea demons or mermaids of Norse legends aren’t necessarily good things; beautiful but dangerous, there are many tales of sea demons causing harm.
However, they currently registered as Neutral Units, and Duncan trusted the judgment of the god-view perspective.
For now, these sea demons showed no hostility.
The gathered sea demons circled the rocks, seemingly not expecting Duncan to ignore their song, and then the leading sea demon cautiously approached with the aid of the wind and waves, carefully peeking out a head.
These sea demons had enchanting appearances, with long, wet hair hanging down, their upper bodies unclad, looking no different from ordinary people, but their lower halves were fish tails, not ordinary ones, being rather narrow and about three meters long, giving them an overall length of about three to four meters.
"I have a feeling I’m subconsciously taking over Beowulf’s legendary storyline."
By now, the winds and waves were growing fiercer.
Another giant sea monster appeared outside the rocks, and there were quite a few of these monsters, far more common than elsewhere.
