(Chapter 66)

Then a loud breaking sound was heard.

An arrow was released and now flying straight to the forehead of the giant.

But the giant moves and disappeared from the camera lenses to dodge the arrow, then reappears to the front of shadow soldiers making a sweep kick to erase them.

Yet, an ice golem reappears too and doing the same thing.

Two colossal feet clashes but the ice golem was destroyed making the giant smirked for thinking how weak these fakers are.

As the orc shadow soldiers behind the destroyed ice golem were given a chance, they jump on the ankles of the giant trying to do some damage to tear its tendons.

But the giant knows what the shadow soldiers want to do and stomped on them instead, sending the shadow soldiers back to the shadow realm.

However, another ice golem reappears at its back and smashes to the back of its head, but it tilted its head to the right side to dodge without looking.

Yet, its head was wrapped by branches and pull back to the path of the ice fist, and both things connected.

The head was push back by the impact, that made it irritated and tried to find the responsible for the branches, soon it found the ice treant that so small for the giant size and eyes.

The giant disappeared and punches to the left side of Esmund's cheek.

As for Esmund, his eyes flicker and stared at the giant smugly.

Then a loud 'bang' was heard making the giant satisfied but only for it to be stunned as its fist was blocked by the ice palm of Esmund.

The giant was infuriated after feeling the scorning eyes of the ice treant to it, thinking that how this small shit can look at it with that kind of eyes and grabs the ice golem's foot that reappears to its side and swing it towards Esmund.

And it was stunned after the ice golem that it grabbed was melted but its hand still continue swinging from the inertia, hence it decided to clench it harder into a fist and punch again but onto the chest of Esmund this time.

But Esmund is still smiling smugly to the giant, trying to tell the giant for how weak its fist and decided not to block it.

Another loud 'bang' was heard but Esmund didn't move back an inch, glaring at the eyes of the giant as if he asking the giant if that all it can do.

Enraged, the giant disappeared and reappears in midair and hold its left fist, trying to do so some ground crushing smashing.

However, Esmund felt tired of facing this shit and with the Ice Mana with his body, Shyrveen meddle with Esmund to be bigger as the boss-level giant too.

And started to counter-attack at the falling giant, Esmund took a step forward with his left foot, and clenches his ice wooden fist and found an opening to do an uppercut.

But the giant won't accept such hit and moved its arms to cross in front of it to block the uppercut, and only to squeak a 'gufu' after feeling a hard smacking at its back.

It looked back to see the scaled lizard flying that used its tailed to whip its back.

The giant's arms that intended to block was interrupted by a surprise attack, and Esmund's fist slip in the gap and hit its chin.

It felt its brain was shaken that the same strength that it felt when its king Legia is beating the shit out of the giant.

The giant was one of the marshals of the Monarch of Beginning, and so, it was stunned after feeling the same strength of its king from this treant.

After receiving the uppercut, the giant fell on the ground with its back and saw a hundred armored shadow jumps on it.

As the giant is still in rage mode, it stands up while destroying the shadow in one 180 degree sweeps using both arms at each side.

But another batch of shadow soldiers jumps so fast and slice its legs, feet, and ankles, and the giant roared from the pain, but not from the soldiers, but from a certain shadow soldier with a full-body knight armor, a long cape, and a helmet with a long-hair like ornament, while holding a shortsword that producing some blue lightning.

The giant felt the danger that lightning shortsword brings and decided to destroy the knight shadow soldier first and ignored the ice golems and Esmund.

It reappears to the front of Igris and made a punching motion but as it reappears at the same time, it senses the flame coming towards it and the giant twisted its body to dodge as it abandons the offense.

After dodging, the giant glared at the giant high orc shaman, while still in the lowered position, the giant ran around and snatched up the ankle of a giant shadow soldier in the vicinity, and it threw the giant soldier straight at Tusk.

Tusk was about to suck in another breath for his second attack, but he was struck down by the flying soldier before he could release another flame from his mouth and got disintegrated.

With this opening, Igris reappears to the right side of the giant's waist and slash.

The giant screams and smack Igris to followed Tusk.

Sung Jin-Woo's eyes narrowed to a slit-like a blade as he witnessed Tusk and Igris get scattered away in black smoke, then the sword flies back to Sung Jin-Woo, as he caught it in midair.

And Beru screams after seeing this but Sung Jin-Woo stopped him then looked at Shyrveen.

"Not yet... Hyung-nim?"

Shyrveen senses his Mana pool first before saying.

"My Mana is still decreasing noticeably even though I can reuse the half of the spent Mana from creating them... Can you create an 'avatar' now?"

"Yes, but only half of that giant size."

"... Then can you be the shadow itself now?"

"Sadly, I'm still working on it..."

Sung Jin-Woo shakes his head to answer that question.

"Brother Sen?..."

Then Shyrveen looked at Han Sen asking him while pointing casually to the giant.

"Well, I think I can harm it with the katanas but with that kind of size, even if I slash off some meat on its foot, I need to do it thrice to expose the bones, don't mention that the foot and hand are the most less meat between skin and bones, except for the head though..."

Han Sen ponder of a seconds before stating his conclusions.

"If I lend this to you, can you sever its neck?"

Sung Jin-Woo gave the demon king's shortsword to Han Sen's hands.

"Nah, I do still not awaken so I can't do what you both can do... Some mana slash or something to sever the head completely, but I can reach the nerves with the help of Lexine using this weapon..."

Sung Jin-Woo massages his chin as his eyes are getting mad and madder while seeing his army dying just like that before pulling the dagger that he bought in the shop and tossed it towards Han Sen.

"... Then use this dagger too, it has a chance of paralyzing the monster and continuously bleed."

"Woah! A real in-game weapon!"

Han Sen was stunned and inspect the dagger with excitement, thinking that except for the Beast Souls, this is his first time seeing some weapons with game-like content effects.

"We will give you chances to cut off the meats and sweety will be one who will destroy the exposed bones."

Shyrveen told him the most possible plan for now.

"Alright."

"Extermination... Commence!"

Esmund reappears beside Shyrveen then kneels and touches the ground, and big ice roots started to crawl towards the giant.

Shyrveen recalls Apollyon and melted the ice golem leaving only two to stand by at the back to be the guard of Yang Manli and two Yoos, before flapping his ice wings towards the giant's face.

He created a three hundred meters big ice spike and send it on the giant, which is busy destroying the shadow soldiers repeatedly but sense the danger of ice spike after reaching a certain range.

With nothing in the shadow army can hurt the giant, it ignored the shadow soldiers and focused at incoming ice spike and tilted its body to the left side and caught the ice spike, which it has intended to send back to the creator.

But as the giant was in midway spinning its body, its saw in its peripheral vision, the flying shark towards its head, it realized the danger wasn't from the ice spike but from this shark.

The giant gritted its teeth and force its body to halt instantaneously and bend backward to dodge the incoming shark.

Yet, another surprise was sent to the giant after seeing the golden armored person appeared from the back of the shark swinging as Han Sen used the inertia of the shark towards its neck.

Lexine let go of her branches wrapping the tail of Elessar that disappeared and controlled her body and Han Sen's to spin five times as she grasps the two katanas, the demon king's sword and the dagger that Sung Jin-Woo lend them.

But the giant isn't a marshal of the Monarch of Beginning for nothing and its eyes gleam and the big hands of it became much faster then tried to back slap Han Sen and Lexine with its left hand.

Lexine seeing this gave the katanas back to Han Sen and did the same tactics that they used from the smaller ones.

The giant screams as it completely fall on the ground again with his back.

It saw how Han Sen with Lexine exposed the bones of its left arm and then will be followed by the arrow that keeps disappearing and reappearing after penetrating its bones.

Enraged, it used the right hand to grab and squeeze Han Sen to death but Lexine is already proficient against the giant and after they slash the left hand, she continued to the incoming right hand.

Han Sen clicked his tongue after seeing that the giant lead him away from the initial plan towards its neck but he still smiled.

As Han Sen and Lexine spinning around the arm and passed by the neck, the giant felt a danger again on its neck so suddenly and didn't enough time to roll to dodge because of the great pain from both arms.

Sung Jin-Woo reappears from the back of Lexine after using his stealth and Beru went out of his shadow and flew faster first to give time to his King.

Beru slashes his ten claws on the giant's neck, drawing blood from it.

Then was followed by Sung Jin-Woo's in his shadow avatar while holding the shadow materialized two daggers as he spins thrice and exposed the bones.

'Vital Strike!'

'Vital Strike!'

'Vital Strike!'

And followed by the same shark that became an arrow that came down from the sky this time, as Yang Manli flies to the sky as she fires Elessar towards it.

The arrow was lodged on the bloody exposed vertebra on the neck making the giant squirmed on the ground as it tried to scream but it can't.

It wanted to stand up and escape back to the gate but the big ice roots surprise it and started to wraps around its whole body and pulled the giant hard onto the ground.

The shadow soldiers started to overwhelm the poor giant.

And the giant that wasn't given a chance to retaliate, saw the ice spike that it let go, was grabbed by its creator and it saw the ice spike changed into transparent ice hammer.

But the giant's sight was blocked after seeing the person that was clad in darkness appeared so suddenly.

The Giant thrashed around in pure madness while trying to be free from the roots too to get away from the fearful human, but the more it did, the more intense and crafty Sung Jin-Woo's attacks became as he clung onto the monster's face.

While, Shyrveen came down with the speed of his wings, gravity, and inertia of spinning twice in midair before hammering the arrow that is lodged on the bone like a nail.

Shattering that piece of vertebra and then for the finisher, Yang Manli let Elessar become the shark again, ripping the head off of the giant from its head finally.

The whole world was dumbstruck after seeing the one guild that only consists of four attacking members put the giant into the corner and didn't leave a single chance to escape in just a matter of couple minutes.

First, they were watching how the army of shadows with twenty or so ice golems with a treant and a Chinese dragon battling the giant.

There was no other fitting term to describe the boss giant sweeping and crushing away the soldiers and golems left and right with its legs, arms, and its whole body.

The giant has an unfathomable destructive power, no need to wonder and ponder about it.

But as soon they heard Sung Jin-Woo's 'commence', they saw how the four of them switches the flow of the battle, and the giant became in the disadvantages after the barrage of surprise attacks.

And now, they're watching the four individuals landing on the severed body of the boss giant.

It was then, Sung Jin-Woo heard the familiar mechanical beeps going off in his head.

[You have defeated your enemy!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

[Level up!]

Sung Jin-Woo's clenched fist gripped even harder.

'We did it!'

He was about to sigh out in relief, but then, he realized something was amiss and stopped his movements altogether...
