Chapter 32 - Destruction Giants, Mass Panic-2
At the last second, Luna remembered something and grabbed Aren's hand before both of them disappeared.
In the darkness, they got two options to appear at two places, and both of them selected the place of Aren as they appeared near the hotel on the highway.
*HRRRRRRRRRRR...*
Right after they appeared at the hotel, They were shocked to see a giant ten meters tall dark brown giant with a giant club in his hand.
Aren's eyes gleamed as he got the information about it and gulped.
[ Destruction Giant V1 ]
-Rank: Common
-Health: 23,000/23,000
-Defense: Physical [500], Soul [ 100 ].
-Attack: 5000
-Skill: <Empowered Club>, <Berserk Rush>
"Luna! One hit of that giant, and we will die instantly, so be careful. Spread out and attack from sides. Tell your Tengu to attack it with soul attacks!" Aren hurridly spoke as he jumped on his sword and flew towards the giant's head to attract its attention.
At this time, many people were on the ground in front of them, and they were panicking. All of them were from the slum.
After all, all people were forced to leave the Wild Expanse.
Aren also saw his mother, Quinn, and the Tenkai family at another ground where their cars were park but he didn't have time to there because if that giant reached those other people, they would be slaughtered.
There was another giant five hundred meters away from this place on the highway, and it was coming here too.
Aren flew in front of the giant's head, and seeing an ant appearing in front of him, the giant growled before using his hand to swat at Aren.
But Aren nimbly dodged before he released his skill <Wind Slash(5)> by waving his right hand at the giant while thinking, 'I have to destroy its eyes, first.'
The wind slash hit the left eye of the giant as a [-978] number floated near the eye, indicating the damage of Wind Slash.
*Roar....*
But that was not enough to destroy its eye; expecting this, Aren already released another <Wind Slash(5)> at the same eye while dodging another swat of the giant who roared loudly.
At this time, Tengu also flew at the giant's back and swiped its claw on its head as black claw projections released from Tengu's hand and attacked the giant.
[-678]
[-241]
Aren was surprised to see two numbers floating, but the color of [-678] was different than the usual numbers he had seen before as this number was colored pale grey.
' It must be soul damage. ' Thinking of this, Aren didn't waste time on other things and attacked the giant.
At this time, Quinn, Lorain, and others also noticed a person flying on the sword in front of the giant.
" That's Aren! " Quinn shouted before turning to Lorain, " Auntie, let's attack. "
Lorain nodded as they dashed towards the giant but not too close since they released their long-range skills first.
Lorain released <Sword Beam(4)> while Quinn released <Water Bullets(4)> and also used <Charged Attack(5)> on her boomerang before throwing it towards the giant's legs.
They attacked the giant's legs to make it incapacitated.
Aren occasionally glanced down and saw that many other people had started attacking the giant with long-range attacks as he occupied the giant's attention.
[-947]-Sword Beam.
[-969]-Water Bullets.
[-1012]-Double Rend.
[-478]
[-674]
[-347]
...
[9745/23,000]
Numbers floated, and Aren also destroyed the left eye of the giant with three wind slashes before he proceeded to attack the giant's right eye while dodging his attacks.
*Roarrrrrr....*
The giant roared in pain as it was attacked by all around him and raised the club in his hand. The club also started to shine in dark light.
Seeing this, Aren panicked and looked down as he shouted with everything he had, " DODGE! MOVE AWAY! "
The giant didn't take an hour to smack the club down but only took two seconds, and in those two seconds...not many people could get away due to panic.
Lorain, Quinn, Borus, and other family members and bodyguards of the Tenkai family used their movement skills to get away from the giant once they saw him raising the club while also shouting for other people to run, but...unfortunately, not all people could run away from its range, and in panic, some didn't even use their movement skills.
*BOOM...*
The club brought a shockwave, and those near the shockwave instantly died while some were slightly injured.
Those who used their skills to run away instantly were safe but seeing the mess of blood in front of them; many couldn't hold back and puke.
Aren closed his eyes and turned his face towards the giant before opening his eyes again. He didn't want to look at the mess below, but his eyes showed grief and slight fear.
Fear for others because he could see its another skill < Berserk Rush > and from the name, he guessed that it would bring nothing else but carnage.
At this time, Another giant also arrived, and seeing it, Aren didn't waste time as he gritted his teeth and waved both of his hands towards the giant's right eye as two wind slashes released, but he didn't stop and released third wind slash right after that and completely destroyed the right eye of the giant as well.
Another barrage of the attack came from Quinn, Lorain, and others before the giant's whole body started glowing.
[4890/23,000]
At this time, The other giant raised its club before attacking the group of people attacking it from the side.
But that group of eight people dodged the attack. Aren noticed that the group who wore military uniforms and two other military vehicles followed this second giant here before several people left the vehicle and joined in the attack by releasing various skills.
'There are two big guns on those vehicles; why aren't they using it? Two people who can use long-range attacks should also use those guns. ' Aren thought with a frown.
He then looked at the giant in front of him that was glowing in a red aura, 'It's going to use its <Berserk Rush> damn...'
He waved his hands to release two more wind slashes and hoped that everyone could kill it before it finished activating the skills.
At this time, The giant roared and threw the club in front of him.
Aren's face changed as he dodged the club that flew towards him.
*Roarrrrrr*
On the ground below, Lorain closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them and used her skill <Strenthening Threads(Red)> towards Aren to increase her son's physical strength.
But she didn't stop and released another skill<Blackout> on the giant.
Aren, who was floating in the sky, suddenly felt his strength increasing. He looked at his attributes and was surprised.
<Strenght: 23(+7)>
<Constitution: 22(+7)>
<Agility: 22(+7)>
He didn't notice, but a second ago, several red threads entered inside his body.
But he noticed a black fog with dark threads moving towards the giant and entering inside its head, which caused a panicked and distressed growl to leave the giant's mouth.
He noticed that something about the giant's status had changed.
[ Destruction Giant ]-Status debuff: Blackout.
-Health: [1978/23,000]
He focused on that thing and managed to get information about Blackout.
Blackout: All senses of the giant are sealed for ten seconds.
But Aren and others didn't waste time as they attacked the giant with precious two seconds brought to them by Blackout which distressed the giant and stopped its rush.
If the giant's senses were not sealed, then it wouldn't have reacted that way and should have started rushing forward.
[ 0/23,000 ]
The giant fell to the ground and turned into dark motes before disappearing.
But people at no time to rejoice because...
*ROAR.....*
Aren looked at the second giant that started glowing in red, and he instantly grimaced because this giant still had a considerable amount of health.
[10,674/23,000]
" ATTACK THE GIANT'S RIGHT EYE. " Aren shouted with all of his strength after he flew towards the military group.
If they didn't destroy the giant's eyes, the <Berserk Rush> might bring considerable carnage. He just had this bad feeling looking at that skill.
The leader, who looked like a middle-aged man, frowned hearing the shout but seeing the panicked expression on Aren and the seriousness in his voice, he spoke, " Attack its right eye. "
" But commander, our attacks seem to have more effect on its neck and heart part. "
" Just do as I say. "
On the other hand, Aren also started attacking it, but after two seconds, He could only destroy the left eye of the giant. But he sighed a relief seeing that the other group managed to destroy its right eye.
Right after the two seconds were over, The giant once again roared loudly and threw the club away before rushing towards the group with a red aura surrounding its body.
The speed of the giant seemed to have suddenly increased as it dashed in the direction of the military group.
" Damn! "
The military group cursed, but not all of them could escape this fast dash of the giant as two people were mashed into a meat patty.
[4102/23,000]
But since the giant was blinded, It continued to rush towards the empty highway.
Seeing that, The military group and all other people started sweating buckets.
If the giant didn't lose its eyesight...then the giant would've killed a lot more people with that dangerous fast dash before they managed to kill it.
But Aren didn't rest and followed the giant as he just thought of a superb idea.
