The Human Giant-Chapter 332 : Dark Cloud Of Three-Eyed Crows

Luxy frowned as he covered his nose; as a witch, this wasn't his first time seeing a walking corpse, so he wasn't scared. Instead, he felt oddly unsettled that he couldn't sense anything from this Three-Eyed Crow.

Usually, when witches created undead creatures, they would have a black fog surrounding their bodies, representing crystal energy that had been used to cast a curse. Yet, this dead crow was not only not covered in black fog but showed no sign of being caused by witchcraft.

"A seed?"

Suddenly, dead to the Three-Eyed Crow's body not being suitable for walking on the ground, it tripped over its rotting legs and fell to the floor, allowing him to see that there was a thick pulsing seed that had taken root inside the Three-Eyed Crow's head. Seeing this strange sight, the feeling of uneasiness in Luxy's heart as a terrifying thought came to his mind.

"I need to get out of here quickly. No, if I leave, this problem might become worse." Lucy suddenly gritted his teeth and pulled out a thin book.

This thin book was a treasure he had made after two months of hard work. Each page could cast a spell instantly, allowing him to react to any situation quickly without having to worry about running out of crystal energy.

After turning to a black page that seemed to have been drenched in oil, Luxy ripped it out and threw it at the Three-Eyed Crow, who was trying to regain its balance. The moment the black paper left his hand, it immediately combusted into a fist-sized ball of red fire that slammed directly into the Three-Eyed Crow's chest.

"Caw! Caw! Caw!"

After letting out three painful screams, the Three-Eyed Crow quickly turned into ash alongside the strange seed, making Luxy sigh of relief. For a second, he worried that the strange seed might have given the dead Three-Eyed Crow's body a physical boost or enhancement.

"I need to tell teacher Devi about this. The appearance of this strange bird could mean that there is an anomaly nearby which would be bad." Luxy's mind raced as he quickly turned around to run back to the caravan.

Even though he had turned that undead crow into ash, he couldn't get rid of the feeling that this was only the first hint of what was about to come. The last thing he wanted was to encounter an anomaly since it usually meant the inhabitants nearby would all lose their lives.

Even a Grand Witch would be forced to pack up everything they had to escape from an anomaly, much less anyone else. He had heard too many stories about how quickly anomalies grew and how they could easily kill everything near them.

"Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!" As Luxy ran, his pupils shrank from fear as he saw a cloud of Three Eyes Crow flying in the sky.

"Caw!!! Caw!!! Caw!!!!"

What made his brain tingle from fear was the black cloud of Three-Eyed Crows that, usually following a strict formation, was in complete disarray. The countless blood-red eyes of the Three-Eyed Crows were filled with pain and agony as they slowly turned dull. 𝚋ｅｄ𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅ𝚕．𝚗ｅｔ

The black cloud of Three-Eyed Crows thinned one by one; crows fell to the ground dead. Even without knowledge of anomalies, witches, immortals, or demons, anyone who saw this scene would have felt their toes curl.

For hundreds of Three-Eyed Crows to suddenly fall to their deaths could only happen from something horrifying. And no one would be confident enough to believe that this disaster would not affect them.

"There is danger! Danger! Danger! Come on, why did this have to happen when I am so far from the caravan!?" Lucy gritted his teeth in anger as he felt light-headed.

After running for several hours, his young body was exhausted and could barely stand up straight. Even though Justice Town wasn't that large, it was still half a mile across at its shortest point, so trying to complete ten laps around was difficult.

This was especially true for Luxy since he was still only ten years old, even if his body looked a bit older than it should have. Luckily, before Luxy had to worry about losing consciousness before he made it to the caravan, he saw a tall figure slowly walking toward him.

"Is that Yoze? Did he hear my screams and come out to help me?"

Seeing this elegant man dressed in a black and gold suit, Luxy sighed with relief as he recognized him as Lucien's student. Even though he had caused trouble seeing Yoze coming to save him, his eyes began to water.

"Yoze, I think I saw an anomaly! The Three Eyes Crows in the sky are infected by some kind of parasitic seeds controlling their dead bodies."

"We need to inform our teachers so that we can leave immediately. Not only that, we need to evacuate the town so that no one dies." Luxy tried his best to explain the situation to Yoze.

Still, the combination of heaving breathing and his mind blurring made it difficult for anyone to understand his words.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this, and we can talk about this in a calm setting." Yoze calmly said with a smile as he patted Luxy's small head.

Even though Luxy was slurring his words due to exhaustion, Yoze was able to clearly understand what he was trying to tell him. But it wasn't needed since he could clearly see that the black cloud of Three-Eyed Crows was dying rapidly.

He could even see all the crows' spiritual energy detaching from their bodies before being destroyed by the harsh environment. What made him the most curious was that he smelled an intense scent of oil from where the crows were falling.

From his experience, he knew that this smell came from spiritual energy; it seemed to be somewhat different from the scent that other spiritual energy had. Not only was the scent strange, but its intensity was abnormal for how much spiritual energy each of the crows had before.

"If Luxy is right that an anomaly is causing this, then we are going to really need to evacuate everyone in Justice Town. Even if I can get some unique talents, I would prefer if no one innocent died because of it." Yoze thought to himself as he lightly tapped his foot on the ground to jump into the sky like a bird.
