Under the Spell of the Disaster Followers' leader, the surroundings were chaotic and blurry, and the constantly howling sandstorm seemed to suddenly diminish.
The swirling sand, laden with continuously proliferating Originium crystals, coalesced into a giant humanoid figure, reminiscent of Sandman from Spider-Man.
Of course, this so-called 'giant' was only so in the eyes of Shining and Nightingale; to Skadi, the Abyssal Hunter, and Goki, who had recently been fighting large units, it was… just average.
Observing this primitive and wild Originium Arts, which could even suffer a Spell backlash and affect the caster at any moment, Shining, with her superb Originium Arts adaptability, quickly identified the type of Spell.
This was some ancient Sarkaz war Spell; during the Demon Race wars, colossal, mountain-like giants were commonplace on battlefields. Over a dozen sorcerers would cast Spells in unison, and the giant boulders thrown by these giants had more power than city-wall cannons.
Now, the Disaster Followers, harnessing the power of the disaster, supplied energy to this Spell, creating a small giant by himself, though it could collapse at any moment.
"War Golem, no, far cruder. If it can be countered — no, Liz, don't interfere! I can handle it!"
This type of enemy had extremely high physical resistance but very poor Spell resistance. With precise countermeasures, it could be destroyed in an instant.
However, Shining immediately thought of something, turning back with some urgency to stop Nightingale—this girl, who couldn't refuse, was incredibly fragile. If she rashly engaged in a Spell confrontation, she could easily injure herself.
But as she turned back, Shining suddenly saw that the fierce flames around the black-clad man, who called himself Goki, instantly vanished, and a five-pointed star emblem appeared on his forehead.
And the sand-constructed giant instantly froze in place.
"Skadi, cut it!"
Goki's hands remained still, still protecting Nightingale beside him, but his eyes emitted a faint white light, taking in the small, sand-and-stone creature before him.
Now, Goki could see everything about him.
[Caryll Rune — Eye.
A secret Rune left by Byrgenwerth craftsman Caryll, representing the concept of the eye, derived from the words of ancient deities. The user gains additional insight.
The eye symbolizes the truth Great Master Willem sought in his research. He was disillusioned by the limits of human intelligence, turning to higher planes for guidance, and yearned for eyes that could transcend his mind.]
After killing the Celestial Envoy, aside from the usual blood echoes that barely filled a tooth gap, Goki still obtained some things that originally belonged to him.
"Eye" was one of the new Runes Goki acquired. At the center of the Rune, the eye within the five-pointed star represented a form of communication that transcended the world.
In Yharnam, Goki had obtained a total of two Eye Runes. If he killed Great Master Willem, he could acquire a third.
However, Goki ultimately did not act against the Old Hunter, who, despite yearning for Ascension, had pulled back from the brink and was lying harmlessly in a rocking chair—respecting elders and caring for the young was a virtue, and Goki had always held Kaltsit in high regard.
This Rune granted Goki extremely strong observational abilities, and its effect was not merely the "increased item drop rate" seen in games.
After all, in reality, a person only has as many items as they have; even if you strain your eyes blind, they can only have those things.
After the Celestial Envoy died, Goki picked up this Rune from him and, during his previous journey, engraved it into his memory using a Rune factory tool.
