Chapter 372 - 372: Grand Entrance
Sapphira's eyes widened in stunned silence, her pupils trembling like leaves in an autumn gust.
The words hung in the air, heavy with implication, as Aquila's calm demeanor seemed to underscore the magnitude of the revelation.
"Fever, bone ache, and bluish veins on the wings," Aquila recited, her voice a gentle breeze that belied the turmoil brewing within Sapphira.
For a fleeting moment, Sapphira's gaze locked onto her wings, as if
He turned—and froze.
Marching toward the gathering were a hundred men… or what he first mistook for men.
Giants.
Towering, broad-shouldered colossi, each encased in heavy plate so thick it shone like molten steel in the sun. Some stood eight feet tall, others nine—and leading them, a monstrous figure who dwarfed even his kin, standing ten feet high, with warhammers slung on his back like toy clubs and a crossbow as large as a ballista in hand.
Alexander's blood turned cold. These weren't knights. They were walking fortresses. Monstrosities clad in Saint-ranked armour from head to toe—each one radiating power.

Even a kingdom couldn't summon such might!
Their discipline was unnerving. Not a single footstep out of place. No disorder in their formation. Like iron forged into purpose, they advanced.
The air trembled as the lead giant spoke again, his voice like a mountain breaking. "Fairy, it would do you well to descend."
It wasn't a request. It was a command, a growl of thunder barely restrained.
Alexander flinched, forced to lower his gaze. The giant's tone left no room for pride. His presence shattered it.
And from that towering figure came a single thought, clear as iron:
He loathed the look in Alexander's eyes. That highborn arrogance. That lofty gaze.
He would crush it.
