Chapter 1144 Fighting the Powerful Giants
The battlefield became a chaotic storm of battle as Reign and the others split up in order to face the remaining six giants. Each of the groups was fully confident in taking down their respective opponents, and when they collided with the giants, mayhem ensued.
The giants possessed overwhelming strength and size, nobody here could match them in that regard, even Wolf, Greenie, and Tank, who possessed the highest strength stats out of the team were unable to go up against a giant in that regard.
The giants also possessed immense vitality and had great defense, but, as they would soon learn, that was not enough to stop Reign and his team from slaughtering them.
Reign led the trio, his two swords gleaming with light and darkness as he dashed toward the two giants, their enormous bodies radiating raw power as their arms swung down wrecking balls. One of them raised its massive fist and brought it down toward Reign, aiming to crush him like an ant.
But Reign was faster. He quickly moved, his body a blur as he dodged the blow that caused the ground to cave in and crack, the ground simply unable to withstand the might of the giant's fist.
But Reign was already gone, running atop the giant arm and then jumping off of it and appearing in the air in front of the giant's chest. The giant moved its other arm, but one thing the giant did not possess was speed.
It was not exactly slow, if an average Tier VI combatant was present, they would be shocked to find that the giant's speed was only a bit below their own, but compared to Reign and the others, who were all the cream of the crop, it was not enough.
As the giant's arm went toward Reign, he didn't even glance at it as he slashed with his right sword, an invisible ripple spreading from him and hitting the giant, causing the skin on its chest to split open and a large gash to appear.
Blood gushed out, dying the ground and making the giant falter in his attack, stopping his arm for an instant and staring at the wound it had received from Reign as the latter started falling down.
The giant then stared at Reign, pure rage present in its eyes as it roared in pain and fury before bringing his hand down, attempting to squish Reign who was staring at it with a calm expression.
Before the arm could get to him, large vines made out of darkness surged from the ground below and grabbed the arm, locking it in place before one of the vines elongated and turned razor sharp. It stabbed the giant in the chest, right where the gash was.
The giant roared and raged, grabbing the vines with his free hand and ripping them apart before striking down in order to hit Reign, but he was long gone.
Wolf, on the other hand, was battling the other giant. His chaos flames flared to life as he charged at the giant who swung at him, only to be met with scorching flames that had a tinge of red in them.
The arm of the giant quickly started burning from the intense flames, causing the giant to recoil and shake it in order to blow the flames away, which he was surprisingly able to do. The skin of a giant was much thicker and tougher compared to regular beings after all, thus something like that wasn't too difficult.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The fact that Wolf's flames were able to immediately damage it was more surprising, but the thing was, he didn't even start his true attack.
As the giant pulled its arm back, it was shocked to sense immense heat from the left side of his arm. The heat was accompanied by a bright golden light with a tinge of red, and upon glancing to the side, the giant saw a massive sword made out of flames swinging down on its arm that was pulled back.
The sword struck the arm, easily cutting through the skin and striking the bone, which was tougher than steel.
The giant roared, pain assaulting him, and quickly moved its arm, but the sword would not dislodge, in fact, it was cutting deeper inside his arm, thus it quickly raised its other arm in order to strike, to swat Wolf away as if he was an annoying fly that bit him.
The strike never came as darkness surged and shadows came alive, wrapping around the arm and locking it into place, just as they had done with the giant that Reign was battling against.
In this battle, Shadow was playing a support role. He was in charge of supporting both Wolf and Reign while they battled against the giants, making sure they could dodge more easily, and causing some damage from time to time.
Against foes like the giants, he had to admit that his fighting style wasn't that effective. He could, of course, use his darkness as poison, spreading it inside the giant he was battling and slowly whittling the giant down, but that would take more time than it would for Reign and Wolf to take a giant down, thus they were the main attackers.
On another battlefield, Mia and Aelrinder were the main attacking force while Beast was the one supporting them from behind, launching powerful arrows at the giants while the wyvern and the flood dragon attacked from above.
With the beasts attacking the giants from above, it was much more difficult for the massive creatures to focus on Mia and Aelrinder, who had a much easier time attacking them, barely worrying about the potential counterattacks of the giants.
As for Jin, Greenie, and Tank, they were fighting as well, and to the surprise of two of them, Jin was the one supporting instead of Tank, who could use his shield to defend against attacks and provide them with cover.
Jin was standing behind, his fists clenched, punching out from time to time to cause powerful explosions that stopped the actions of the giants, sometimes punching at their heads and dealing damage.
Tank and Greenie were in charge of taking them down, and they were doing good so far.
As for Laura, she didn't belong to any team, she was standing away from them, at a distance from where she could easily get close and start healing anybody. Her spells could definitely be used to a great extent against the giants, but Reign and the others wished to try fighting like this, in groups of 3, cooperating with one another to take the monsters down.
Laura would make that easier, but the problem was that this was not a battlefield, she didn't have nearly unlimited life force available, and even though her reserves were high and she could still bring devastation to their enemies, she was still the main healer of the party, the was her main position, and thus, she herself had volunteered to stay back and make sure nobody would be injured.
Each group of three was locked in combat with towering giants, each blow resonating through the earth, and each attack calculated with precision. Though the giants were strong, the team's training and synergy were making the fight more than manageable. They moved like a well-oiled machine, each member playing to their strengths.
Reign danced around the giant's attacks, his movements fluid as he merged light and darkness into every strike. The cuts he made were strategic, targeting weak points in the giant's armor-like skin.
Shadow's darkness kept both the giants off balance, locking their arms and slowing their movements, while Wolf's chaos flames ate away at the flesh of the giant he was battling, leaving smoldering, charred wounds.
Mia's control over ice was absolute, and she used it to her advantage. Her frost magic had grown even more powerful after the training, allowing her to summon massive spikes of ice that impaled the giant's legs, freezing its movements.
Aelrinder dashed forward, charging at his own opponent, his wind-infused spear a blur of green light. He struck at the weakened joints, his attacks swift and precise. The wind around his spear howled as it sliced through the air, cutting deep into the giant's flesh.
Beast stood at a distance, his bowstring taut as he fired explosive arrows into the giants' eyes, temporarily blinding them. The Wyvern and flood dragon continued their aerial assaults, launching torrents of fire and water at the giants, adding to the chaos.
Tank stood at the forefront, his shield raised high as he absorbed the brunt of the giant's attacks. Every time a massive fist came crashing down, Tank would meet it with his shield, deflecting the blow and sending shockwaves through the ground while relenting with his axe.
Greenie, with his powerful Vajra bloodline, had grown even stronger after the training. He moved with surprising agility for his size, using his massive war hammer to strike at the giant's legs and ribs. Each swing sent cracks through the giant's stone-like armor, weakening it further.
Jin stood behind Tank and Greenie, his fists glowing with energy as he launched explosive punches at the giants from a distance. His strikes were precise, aimed at the giants' heads and joints, each explosion disorienting them and creating openings for Greenie and Tank to deliver more powerful blows.
And like that, the battles continued, and a couple of minutes later, they ended, with Reign and the others felling the giants.
