Chapter 82. The giant’s army

Blue lightning flashed across the ground. The snow on the floor was pushed like an explosion, and Ivan ran over it, narrowing the distance.
Thunderstep, the foundation and the core of Mufa Thunderwolf.
Moving as fast as lightning and as heavy as thunder. Using that power, he swung a hammer of pure white lightning.
Bang!
The giant’s ax and Ivan’s hammer collided. Shockwaves spread in all directions, upturning the ground, and snow and ice rising into the air.
When the blizzard, which was created with the power of clashing, subsided, the two of them appeared again.
Ivan received a huge shock and was pushed away. The furrow that had been created as he was pushed out continued for a long time. But the giant’s expression wasn’t good either. Because he also took a step backward. Unable to overcome the power of this little warrior.
Ivan’s size was not small, either, but it could not be compared to a giant, literally the size of a house. The size is power, and the ax wielded by the giant was no less than the violence of nature.
It was surprising that the giants took a step back when they bumped into each other despite such a difference in weight.
However, the giant quickly regained consciousness and shouted as if he had been relaxed.
“Amazing, little warrior! But will you continue to bear my strength!”
He was surprised for a moment, but he didn’t think he was going to lose. The overwhelming power emanating from his huge body was his own source.
The giant’s power was truly unstoppable. There was only one clash, but Ivan received a shock that shook his body. His strong body was so strong that his bones ached from the impact.
But he also did not think it would be his defeat. He couldn’t lose to a man who was barely strong enough.
Wooong-.
A tremendous energy wells up from Ivan’s body. The Megingjörð worn around his waist amplifies the power of the body. The hammer of lightning, which had vanished after one bump with the giant, was reborn in his hand.
Chick, Chick!
A flash of white lightning flashed, and Ivan rushed to the giant once again.
Shh!
A giant’s ax that hits hard from top to bottom. However, instead of having a power fight with him, Ivan sped his speed even further and passed the ax. Then he reached close range and smashed the giant’s ankle with the hammer.
bang!
“Agghh!”
The giant groaned in pain. Then he kicked him with his feet as if he had brushed him off.
Ivan, who was so close, had no way to escape. He spread out the snake god’s golden shield and covered his body. And he took a step back and prepared for the shock.
thud!
“Uh-huh!”
The shock hit him all over his body, and Ivan was thrown away. Ivan, rolled over the snow, got up with difficulty and spit on the floor, but when he saw that there was a lot of blood mixed with it, it looked like he had an internal injury.
Then a divine light fell upon Ivan’s head. The divine power that Delfino emitted healed his injured body in an instant.
If it was simply a physical wound, no matter how serious it was, Delfino could heal it at once. He also had the Orb of Life.
Ivan glanced at his Delfino and raised his thumb. They were fighting a group of yeti that suddenly appeared, and Delfino looked at Ivan’s side and smiled brightly.
“Where are you looking? A cheeky warrior!”
An angry giant approached him limping. Because Ivan’s hammer crushed his right ankle.
To be honest, Ivan was going to blow his feet up completely. But he thought with the strength of the giant, it was useless.
‘If I had started a duel with Tyr’s power, I would have become a tomato that exploded without doing anything.’
Tyr’s duel, which seals each other’s abilities and fights only with physical abilities, was an excellent method for an enemy with powerful abilities, but it was no different from simply giving up his life to an opponent with such pure physical strength. In fact, Ivan was also more likely to rely on intelligence than on pure physicalism.
Soggy!
Ivan’s magic melted the snow and made the floor muddy. The limp and approaching giant’s foot stepped on it, but it was so large that it meant nothing to him. The mud created by Ivan did not even wet his ankles.
“Freeze!”
At the same time as Ivan shouted, ice erupted from the giant’s feet. However, the giant’s tough skin was so strong that it could not penetrate into his body.
“How can a warrior do such trickery!”
The giant gasped in displeasure and raised his axe. The giants of the present age had very few talents for magic but had excellent bodies. They didn’t even learn magic, they weren’t friendly with spirits, and at least they couldn’t emit auras like the skilled knights.
In the eyes of the giant, anything other than the power of a pure body was trickery, and among them, magic that distorts reality and shakes laws was extremely hateful.
bang!
The giant’s ax struck Ivan down. His head was broken and his body turned into a crushed tomato, staining the floor red.
But the giant looked rather embarrassed. Because Ivan did not die in vain.
Of course, he didn’t die.
Ssk~.
Ivan’s corpse, split by the giant’s ax, disappeared into powder. He snorted as he appeared from the other side in a good state.
“Yeah, this is how it is. It’s not difficult.”
The giant’s body was very strong and had excellent resistance to magic. But they could not see through illusions.
The illusion created by Ivan was created by mixing the stealth of a thief, the sense of a warrior, and the power of Loki to play tricks on truth and lies with superior magic.
Even the elves who said they could see through the essence or the demons that dealt with spirits were momentarily missed, but the giant could not recognize it at all.
bang!
The giant’s ax fell on Ivan again. But it is also a fake illusion. Ivan pulled out the blood sword, Brika, and ripped the giant’s intact ankle.
Chiik!
The giant’s tough skin cracked open. Red blood gushed out and power drained away.
After awakening, Brika, the blood sword, devoured the surrounding power and gave Ivan strength. The power that was in the body of the giant, but was not properly used, flowed through the blood sword Brika.
The giant tried to push Ivan by kicking it like before, but when one of his ankles was already crushed, he couldn’t move properly. Ivan lightly dodged his kick and wounded him little by little.
There was as much blood as the size of a giant. The pure white snow was suddenly dyed red. More than the blood that had been shed, the giant was tired.
They had exceptionally strong bones and muscles and were very lightweight compared to their apparent size, but they required too much energy to move their huge body.
He had explosive power and speed, but his endurance was not up to that level. They spent most of their time sleeping, and with the stamina they had stored up, they moved briefly and hunted repeatedly.
Even so, the longer the battle, the faster his stamina would drop, but the giant was about to die as the blood sword Brika took away his power little by little.
“Huh! Heh…”
The movement of the giant exhaling harshly became very dull. Now he didn’t even have the strength to pick up an axe, so he just stared at Ivan.
His ankles were already messed up and he was on his knees, and his arms and legs and even his face were covered in blood.
“This guy! How…!”
The giant burst into anger with a face that looked like he was about to collapse at any moment. Because he realized that Ivan wasn’t finishing himself at once, but was playing around as if he was experimenting on him.
As a descendant of a great and mighty race, they face such a humiliating death. Yes, it was unbearable for him.
“You fool! A curse on you…!”
Chiik!
The giant could not finish his speech and had his head cut off. His head, as big as his gigantic size, thumped and fell to the floor, then rolled over and stopped.
Meanwhile, a group of people who had dealt with dozens of yeti groups approached. Delfino asked, seeing the desperate appearance of the giant.
“How was it?”
“He was a strong opponent. But I think you can see why they are called the fallen descendants of the ancient giants.”
Their size and strength were astounding. Each attack was heavy, and a strong shock as if his whole body was shattered came.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the powers of Megingjörð and Thor, he might have been pushed to death by the force when they first collided.
However, the downside was clear. He was unable to cope with illusions. As a result, it wasn’t too difficult to deal with.
‘But then, this guy wasn’t a named, he was just an ordinary giant warrior.’
There were at least tens or hundreds of people stronger than him. And the primordial giant, the one who competed against the old god.
“It’s going to be a hell of a fight.”
Ferocious Tooth laughed loudly at the sound of Ivan’s murmur.
“It’s not a bad thing. Because that is the life of a warrior!”
As originally planned, the hunt was successful. So there were a lot of things that bothered him.
Considering that a dwarf yeti was used as bait, the giants seemed aware of their existence from the beginning. Digging a trap and waiting for it was an organized appearance that was not found in a giant with strong personal inclinations.
Was that the order of the waking primitive giant? Or is there someone else who is good at scheming?
While thinking about such things, Ivan grabbed the giant’s stone ax. Seeing that it endured the mighty power of a giant, it seemed that it was not an ordinary rock.
The giant’s stone ax made of black rock was as big as any wagon. Ivan thought it would all fit in the inventory, but he was able to put it in by a narrow margin.
Baltimore Iridin, who confirmed that Ivan was collecting the loot, urged the party.
“If you have everything, move quickly. ‘Cause it’s just the beginning. We may be able to cut and eat one more time before the enemy can properly judge our strength.”
However, even in such a hurry, the appearance of giant, was nowhere to be seen. They only dealt with a few packs of yeti who were wandering around intoxicated by the magic of the old giants.
They would come out at least once if they were making a fuss near their territory. Because the giants were very proud of themselves, and they couldn’t stand the challenges of others.
However, they did not respond at all as if it was meaningless. That made the group uneasy.
“There are no more moving giants. That means they have already gathered enough. They moved faster than I thought for such a lazy race.”
As Baltimore Iridin spoke seriously, everyone nodded. The enemy’s reaction was indeed strategic. It meant that they were being organized into an army, not just a bunch of giants.
Just as a thief and an army are different, a group of giants and an army of giants have different meanings. The opponent was acting much more meticulously than expected.
“We have nothing more to gain by staying here. Let’s go back and prepare for war.”
Once again, they crossed the frozen land and returned to the home of the Frost Elves.
The horde of giants, who were about to attack, was quiet for a while, but that did not reassure the people. It was because they all knew that the enemy’s explosive power would become even greater as they withdrew now.
So every day and night, they waited and waited for a month, the day when the cold got worse, and a blizzard came and covered my eyes and ears.
A drum was heard in the distance. A loud horn sound resounded.
Dung!
Dung!
Dudung!
boo woo.
They finally started moving.
