Chapter 1207: Sea Giant

“Have you heard of Sea Giants?” Loramus Thalipedes asked.

An ordinary player would most likely have no clue. However, Lu Li wasn’t just an ordinary player, so he quickly answered, “I’ve heard that they are giant beings that roam the sea. They are excellent at swimming and with the anchor in their hands, they makes waves and destroy ships, even though their quest is to protect the sea’s cleanliness and peace.”

“Haha, it seems like you don’t have a good impression of them,” Loramus laughed softly. Unknowingly, his proudness and boastfulness had disappeared.

“I dislike the way they treat other races. In their eyes, any other races are nothing but ants. However, I’ve also heard that they used to come less often to the surface and would much rather remain in the depths of the sea. If it wasn’t to pursue their worst enemies, the Nagas, they wouldn’t have come closer and closer to the surface.”

It was rare for players to be able to talk about these things with NPCs.

“It’s silly to judge good and evil by race; not all Sea Giants capsize ships,” Loramus Thalipedes said, then added, “Of course, demons are an exception. Only a dead demon is a good demon.”

“Alright, can the Sea Giants help us?” Lu Li asked.

“We’re looking for Lord Arkkoroc. He’s a lower-tiered God – not the kind with a Godhead – but he is worshipped by the Murlocs, Makoola and Sea Giants,” Loramus explained. “He’s actually a nice Sea Giant.”

Lu Li questioned this. Murlocs weren’t nice creatures, and this was someone that they worshipped? Could this Arkkoroc talk calmly without wanting to spear people for dinner like the Murlocs?

Judging by the size of Sea Giants, Lu Li probably wouldn’t even be enough to fill his belly.

The memory of those ugly creatures with slimy skin made Lu Li a little upset, but he still chose to believe Loramus Thalipedes.

The temple of Arkkoroc was an old temple that belonged to Elune. It belonged to Arkkoroc now, and besides the Sea Giants, the Lobstrok and Murlocs also viewed him as a God. At the very least, after they witnessed the strength of Dwarves, the Murlocs tried to ask him for help.

Makoola referred to the big prawns on shore. They had been influenced by magic and were now adept at fighting. If you could catch once successfully, they were also quite delicious. These prawns had a hard shell and attacked with their pincers and magic. They had the basic structure of a society, and even had their own tribes. However, their intelligence wasn’t as high as their neighbours – the Murlocs.

The Makoola prawns displayed the highest level of alertness at the arrival of a Night Elf.

Lu Li wasn’t going to fight them. If he killed the young ones, it would enrage the elders.

Fortunately, the Makoola finally let down their guard a little after Lu Li explained why he had come. Shortly after, they moved out of Lu Li’s way; it seemed like Loramus’ name had made an impression. After he got close to the temple, Lu Li finally got to see the Sea Giants. They were all taller than 5 meters and had an unknown weight, but without a doubt, they were all incredibly heavy. It was inconceivable how these giant creatures made themselves float above the sea.

Arkkoroc was at the second level of the temple, dozing off on the ground and looking nothing like a God.

“How’s Loramus?” Arkkoroc asked.

“He’s still in Azeroth and looks fine,” Lu Li answered, then continued, “He has asked me to come to you for help in killing a demon.”

“He’s the real man for the job; I only know a little.”

Although Arkkoroc spoke humbly, he couldn’t hide his little bit of pride. Loramus Thalipedes was a Demon Hunter that specialized in dealing with demons, and yet he had come to him for help.

Arkkoroc was gigantic, so it was natural that his face was as well. Lu Li could see each nuance in his expression clearly.

However, Lu Li wasn’t so bored as to bring out the truth and just explained the entire situation again.

“That’s not a good idea. He must be insane, insane!”

Arkkoroc seemed to have understood what Lu Li was asking for. His expression grew upset and he stood from the ground. His giant size nearly broke through the roof of the temple as he paced back and forth, seeming to be lost in his own thoughts.

“Do you have any ways?” Lu Li couldn’t help but ask.

After a long while, Arkkoroc finally calmed down and said, “There’s only one way to take out the Demon King and his servants. You need to forge a weapon with his real name. When the weapon is forged, it will also be the death of the Demon King.”

“How do we forge it?”

Lu Li could accomplish this as long as there was a Mold and materials. It didn’t seem too difficult.

“The weapon itself isn’t hard to make. What’s important is to give it the ability to slay demons. Have you heard of Hataera? She’s a fake and cruel one; some of my children died to her. Go kill her and bring back her beaten head.”

It seemed like Arkkoroc had his personal reasons to hand out his quest. He had something against Hataera, but he couldn’t leave the temple, so he commissioned Lu Li to end the life of his enemy.

Lu Li felt like he was being used, but he didn’t mind.

Arkkoroc and Hataera were all Gods, but they weren’t worthy of being mentioned. Lu Li could bring out a hundred of his men and wipe out their entire race. It would be even easier than killing a Wild Boss.

Hataera’s nest was discreet; no one had discovered it before. However, she called herself the dictator of the sea, and every day, she would responsibly patrol the area. Lu Li just had to stand by at one of the locations that she often patrolled. To ensure efficiency and safety, he brought together twenty Ruling Sword players who were in the local area for this.

This was a very strong squad for a semi-boss.

Hataera was a snake with three heads and was giant in size. She was more familiar with water magic, but was also proficient at healing magic. Otherwise, Lu Li would have been able to slowly tire her out by himself.

“Thanks everyone. I’ll shout you guys a meal at Stormwind City.”

In less than 10 minutes, Lu Li picked up the three quest items and said goodbye to the leader of the team, Flying Fish Hater.

Flying Fish Hater waved his hands and replied, “Don’t worry boss. I’ll sort everything out.”

Hataera’s Bloodied Head, Hataera’s Beaten Head and Hataera’s Bruised Head – a total of three items, which were just Hataera’s three heads.
