We shouldn’t be doing this; these giants are good people.

Azure Sea Breeze and the others couldn’t take it. Now that they knew the backstory, they couldn’t treat these watchmen as monsters.

Don’t worry,
Lu Li said calmly,
These giants were born from the earth and will be reborn in a few days.

Although this was just a virtual world, everything still felt real. However, the game was still designed with playability in mind, so the quest could go as far as making the players question their actions.
Although they were level 50, they weren’t difficult to kill.
The three stone giants dropped the Flame Key, Ocean Key and Thunder Key. With these keys, they were able to unlock the corresponding stone lock that each giant was guarding.
When the three prisons were opened, they returned to Myzrael.

The unlocking of the stone locks has unbound me, but there is still one more unbreakable lock that prevents me from moving,
the little princess of the earth said insatiably, then asked,
Do you see the stone lock in the very middle? The key for that is in the hands of Fozruk. He is one of the giants who imprisoned me, but I think you will be able to defeat him.


That is impossible; we won’t be able to,
Lu Li said, rejecting Myzrael’s flattery.

Elf, why do you have no confidence in yourself? You have already killed three giants; this won’t be much of an obstacle.

The princess of the earth had become angry internally, but chose to suppress it. Now that her freedom was in sight, she didn’t want to quit.

The previous battles have made us exhausted, and we cannot fight another like that,
Lu Li answered as he squinted. Seeing that Lu Li was trying to get them all something, his friends sounded in agreement about how difficult Fozruk would be.
In fact, Lu Li wasn’t lying either. Fozruk was indeed going to be stronger than the previous three Bosses.
It was ranked somewhere between a Boss and a quasi-Boss, with its specific strength being determined by the number of participants in the quest. For a team of twenty players like they had now, the strength of Fozruk would be no different from an Instance Dungeon Boss.
In his previous lifetime, Lu Li had seen plenty of guilds use this characteristic of this quest to increase the level and difficulty of the Boss.
They did this because the greater the difficulty, the better the loot.
Lu Li was in a hurry today, as he needed to compete against Seventh Heaven in the afternoon, so he couldn’t spend too long fighting the Boss.

You…
Myzrael was naturally upset, but she didn’t want to give up either. As such, she reluctantly sprinkled a blue light from the crystal upon them. Lu Li and the others who came into contact with it received a System Prompt – they had all received the blessing of the Princess of the Earth.
The Princess of the Earth’s Prayer: Increases target’s Armor, Attack, HP and Mana regeneration by 20%. 20% reduction of damage taken from Earth attacks. 1 hour duration.
There was no doubt that this was a powerful buff.
After giving this buff to the players, Myzrael’s friendliness to Water Fairy suddenly came to an end. It was as if she had been working with borrowed kindness, because she suddenly screamed at them coldly,
What are you waiting for? Take the magic wand from Fozruk and unlock the final lock so I can go free!

Even if she didn’t tell Lu Li to hurry, he wouldn’t have delayed any longer anyway. His intention was to use the Princess of the Earth’s Prayer to deal with the guard.
Fozruk was a huge silent giant, with a soft and compassionate face. He didn’t look like a bad person at first glance and didn’t even respond when the players surrounded him. He only started retaliating after he was attacked.
Fozruk had high Attack and pretty good Defense. Fortunately, Lu Li and the others received Myzrael’s blessing, so the battle wasn’t too difficult.
After twenty minutes, the battle came to its conclusion. Fozruk seemed a little anxious as he uttered with his final breath,
Children, you don’t even know what you are releasing. You may regret it.

In addition to dropping the magic wand, which was to be used to open the lock, he also dropped a Silver equip with excellent Attributes.
After Fozruk died, a huge stone pillar rose from under the ground. All of the Arathi Highlands could hear the excited whispers of the princess; she knew that she was going to be released soon.
After endless years, she could finally see the daylight again.

Tears, you stay here and use the magic wand when we tell you to. Everyone else, follow me. We’re
going to kill the princess but we have to do it before she regenerates her strength,
Lu Li said.
They were going to kill her right after releasing her; what a boring quest.
After the signal from Lu Li, Her Tears used the magic wand in her hands while Lu Li and the others stood around the sealed crystal as it shattered.

Finally… today, the damned giants will pay for their ignorance!

A huge palm pressed against the ground as the shape of a person took form. Soon, a tall stone giant woman was standing before them. Her pupils flashed red as she began to unfold her cunning plan.

Attack!
Lu Li didn’t wait a single moment longer than he needed to.
The earlier they started fighting the better, as Myzrael would be weaker while Lu Li and the others would still have the buff.
Princess Myzrael was immediately angered.

You damned adventurers! I had intended to let you live a little longer, but I didn’t think you would come looking to die. That’s fine, I’ll deal with you first, then the other giants.

Azure Sea Breeze went up to cast Taunt and the others immediately followed up.
Then, Princess Myzrael discovered that she was so weak that she could only deal three-digit damage values to Azure Sea Breeze. Moreover, the damage that the adventurers were dealing to her made her more and more frustrated.
As time went on, Princess Myzrael felt like she had been led into a trap.
If she hadn’t blessed them previously, she wouldn’t be so weak and the adventurers also wouldn’t have been so difficult to kill.
Myzrael originally wouldn’t attack the players at the beginning. According to the normal narrative, the players would eventually save the fallen Princess of the Earth after a number of arduous quests. However, this beautiful narrative had been rewritten. The figure that woke up was not Snow White but a demon who had been imprisoned for thousands of years.
The first thing she was going to do after being released was to gather her strength before killing the adventurers that had released her.
There were some players that thought they could control her. But if she could be controlled, then why did the giants pre-emptively imprison her?
