The short sword seed to be manipulated by a ’Mage’s Hand’, rapidly adjusting its direction several tis in the air before piercing into the back of a Frost Giant’s neck.
"Dong!"
A dull sound like water-soaked leather echoed.
The incredibly sharp short sword only pierced a small section before getting stuck.
This sudden attack imdiately caused the Frost Giant to roar, "Who is it!"
"Berg?" Another Frost Giant also saw his companion getting attacked and quickly looked around.
With the leader like that, the remaining giants and ogres naturally began searching in the direction the short sword had co from.
anwhile, redith leaped and dashed in the opposite direction.
"Over there!"
"I can sll the sweet scent of elf flesh!"
Because redith was wearing a hood, she was mistaken for an elf based on her scent.
"Eat her!"
Seeing redith attract all the giants’ and ogres’ attention, Raine, hidden in the snow, calculated the distance and silently chanted—
"First-stage Giant Power!"
"Counterattacker Effect One activated!"
At this mont, from an observer’s perspective, a muscular human figure wielding a warhamr could be seen suddenly leaping out from behind the rearmost ogre, as if erging from subspace into the real world.
The silver warhamr was lifted high, crashing down on the ogre’s head with a speed akin to a falling teor.
The ogre was caught off guard and had no ti to react. With a "crack" sound, like a club heavily striking a waterlon, the red pulp instantly splattered.
It was as if a high-caliber sniper bullet had pierced through the skull at close range.
"Thud!"
The headless ogre, three ters tall and weighing a thousand pounds, wobbled and fell.
Raine’s strike instantly drew the attention of the other two ogres and all the giants.
"Another human?" A voice, deep as a bell, bood from a Frost Giant’s mouth.
"Lemgar, I’ll capture this human food alive; you chase that elf." The two Frost Giants exchanged a glance and split up to chase their respective targets.
Unwilling to give up either Raine or redith.
In their view, the death of an ogre servant ant nothing.
One of the Frost Giants, along with the Hill Giant and two ogres, charged towards Raine, while the other Frost Giant whistled, commanding four Winter Wolves to pursue redith.
Under normal circumstances, there were no problems with this tactical response.
With redith clad in leather armor, she was obviously a fast-moving ranger or wanderer type, and the Frost Giant needed only the four Winter Wolves to potentially catch up to her.
Raine, from his appearance, was a warrior; even with one Frost Giant, a Hill Giant, and two ogres, they should manage to handle him.
Facing such arrogant troop-splitting tactics, Raine found himself both amused and exasperated.
Being underestimated should feel unpleasant, but objectively speaking, it created favorable conditions for vanquishing the enemies, which was a good thing.
"In that case, let’s..... Second-stage Gigantification!" Raine’s eyes narrowed as his body expanded another size!
Now, ti was of the essence for Raine, as the two ogres and two giants charged towards him, though their positions were scattered, with gaps of ten to twenty ters.
For giants, this distance could be covered in just two or three seconds, but those two or three seconds were all Raine needed.
"Vibration Wave!"
As Raine’s warhamr slamd down, the permafrost shattered, snow swirled, and an invisible wave of vibration fanned outward instantly!
The Vibration Wave unleashed in the second-stage gigantification was imnsely powerful; even the tough-skinned and thick-fleshed ogres couldn’t withstand it.
The two ogres were instantly stunned on the spot.
"Crack crack!"
A shadow zigzagged through, accompanied by the clear sound of breaking bones; the heads of the two ogres burst.
Seeing this, the Frost Giant’s expression turned serious.
"Little bug, die!"
The Hill Giant, being closer, had already reached Raine, and with a roar, swung his enormous club down heavily at Raine.
Confronted by the five-ter-tall Hill Giant’s club strike, Raine, curious to feel its power, did not dodge but raised his shield to block it.
"Boom!!" All at once, Raine was struck as if by a massive bell, ears ringing, legs sinking knee-deep into the frozen earth.
Even the ram of the Obsidian Shield was flattened by the impact!
’Damn it!’ Raine cursed himself internally.
Though its challenge level was rely Level 5, strength was the Hill Giant’s forte.
Raine finally understood what ’talent’ truly ant.
The opponent’s formidable strength was such that, setting aside other factors, a Level 9 Classes human warrior wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
As for the Transcendent Warrior, it was hard to say, but purely in terms of strength, it might not surpass the Hill Giant.
At this mont, the Frost Giant also closed in, his bone-white battle axe ready to strike.
"Earth-Binding Totem!"
Raine swiftly planted the Earth-Binding Totem from his waist, attempting to confine the Frost Giant there, then burst forth from the permafrost, a swift roll bringing him once more behind the Hill Giant.
