The opponent’s blue skin was incredibly tough, with bones as hard as the toughest steel. His physical defense was extrely strong, and with his recent second-stage gigantification, a 40% increase in attack speed combined with the special effect of the charge ring, he could only cause a minor bone fracture in the opponent.
There was still quite a distance to go before breaking the opponent’s leg.
’In this case, there’s only one last move left!’
Although his physical strength had grown sowhat, at full burst, the duration had only extended from 45 seconds to about 1 minute.
Raine once again charged at the Frost Giant in a ’zigzag’ pattern. As a white arc of light flashed, the Frost Giant launched another strike with its giant axe.
However, this ti Raine suddenly leaped up and, with the enhancent of the monster skill ’Flying Spell’, darted downwards, swiftly passing over the Frost Giant’s shoulder to its rear.
Imdiately afterward, two nearly overlapping silver hamr shadows, like two tightly following silver teors, simultaneously hit the left knee of the Frost Giant in front of him.
"Crack!"
With a clear sound of bone cracking, the Frost Giant’s left knee was knocked askew and protruded outward.
The full explosion, coupled with the second special effect of the Emperor’s Dual Hamrs of the Replier—’Double Strike,’ combined to create power that even an eighth-level challenger Frost Giant found hard to withstand.
"Ah!!"
"Damn human! What did you do?"
The agonizing screams ca from the Frost Giant’s mouth.
As Raine gained the advantage, he naturally seized the chance to attack fiercely.
The Frost Giant, now kneeling on the ground, was not much taller than Raine, allowing Raine to easily strike weak spots like its face and neck.
The companion’s screams also made another Frost Giant completely abandon the pursuit of redith, rushing back from over a hundred ters away.
But what this other Frost Giant saw was a relatively sturdy human figure, swinging silver hamr shadows rapidly onto the weak spots of his companion’s entire body, creating the sound of hamrs pounding flesh.
Especially the hamrs swung aid at the crotch, just watching made him feel pain!
In the next mont, the opponent leaped high, silver warhamrs stacked with afterimages, plumting like a teor!
"Crack!"
The temple on one side of his Frost Giant companion’s head was imdiately dented in, causing his eyes to bulge, making a gurgling sound in his throat before falling straight down.
"Damn human, you actually killed Borg!" The Frost Giant Lemgar roared, but although he shouted this, he stopped his steps and quickly retreated.
As humanoid beings with a relatively well-organized society, Frost Giants possess almost human-level intelligence and emotions, naturally also experiencing fear.
Seeing Raine and redith closing in from left and right, the Frost Giant Lemgar assessed the situation and quickly retreated:
"Human, I’ll rember you! The Axe Clan is sworn enemies with you!"
Just as redith was about to perform a sword dance to block the retreat, she suddenly noticed Raine signaling to her—not to pursue.
This action naturally puzzled redith, but she stopped.
As she watched the shadow of the second Frost Giant gradually disappear, redith couldn’t help but ask, "Why let him go?"
"I’m currently in the form of ’Shield of Winter’ Olaf," Raine smiled and said, "Moreover, I’ve already consud most of my stamina and need a good rest."
Upon hearing Raine’s explanation, redith’s pretty face first showed sudden realization, then her beautiful eyes moved up and down scanning Raine again, revealing a look that said "Even with those strong features, you’re actually quite cunning."
This made Raine a little embarrassed—
’What? Is it wrong to use my brain to deal with enemies?’
’Do I have to go head-to-head with Shield Armor Warrior at the Extraordinary Level?’
...
anwhile.
Southwest of the Ice Lake area.
Suddenly!
A large mass of snowflakes ford a white wave, rushing close to the ground, approaching the Ice Lake like it was flying low to the ground.
Unaware observers might think it was so kind of massive underground worm moving rapidly, tunneling wildly underground, but looking closely would reveal, at the forefront of the band of white waves, a rapidly moving human figure.
The figure was clad in plate armor, carrying a tower shield with a gilded grass pattern, none other than ’Shield of Winter’ Olaf.
Upon approaching the Ice Lake, his form suddenly halted!
Olaf scanned around, imprinting in his gaze the sparse traces of battle and footprints within a few hundred ters. However, he noticed apart from one set of footprints heading north, there weren’t any other signs.
"This is quite strange. Were the prints left deliberately?"
"Or did I co too quickly, making them think the blizzard would cover the tracks, but it hadn’t yet?"
Olaf raised his gaze again, fixing it on the set of footprints heading north, large and small, pondering briefly and then chuckling lightly:
"Why speculate? Just catch and interrogate directly."
"I hope it brings a little surprise."
As he finished speaking, the figure on the ground blurred suddenly, and in the next second, a sound of breaking through the air rang out, and a strong wind rose where he stood, swirling a mass of snow.
And ’Shield of Winter’ Olaf had already vanished from the spot.
