We were in a tunnel at least three times bigger than ourselves, intentions were to avoid the giants. But I believe there's a horde up there, seriously not a single second where we don't hear shouting, stomps, and other sounds. We've been here for an hour already and anytime soon we have to go up. Whether we fight the giants or sneak, pass them. We can wipe them out, but their energy is wasteful since we have to hurry and like my brother, he will not waste it. We'll be hurt sure I'm sure we can manage...
"So are we going up or not?" Matt asked as I presumed. Perks of being an Acker.
"We are, Now. There's a horde of them up there, are you prepared?" I asked him.
"Give me a sword and I'll be. Ice or whatever you can provide." I could do ice but I had something better.
"Here, Solvier'res Sword. The fire sword to be exact."
"I don't want to use fire. You've got something else?" of course I had a collection of the royal swords, but I didn't want to keep it around me every time and left it back at my base, which is apparently seven seas away from me.
"I have one. One more Solvier'res but its more compatible with me than with y-"
"I don't care, give it to me." demanding ain't cha...
"Fine... but you better put a good performance." I glared at him.
I looked at the others. They prepared their stuff.
"I'm prepared," Luciel said.
"Then let's have a competition." Matt looked at Luciel deviously. I don't like this...
Matt smirked, "Whoever kills giants get 1 point and each giant who is suppressed gets 3 points each. Whoever gets more points will win and follow three demands from the winner." Matt said with a confident tone. April stared at Matt shaking her head.
"I'll join, of course, it'll be 3 demands and that is a really good deal." I intervened.
"Can we put conditions regarding the demands?" Luciel raised his question.
"Definitely, so what's in your mind?"
"First, severely injure and kill would be the same thing-"
"The demands will not include relationships or avoiding, it has to be a demand that is possible and the other people are willing to do it. No including other people in one's demand. Demand will only go with that person without joining another name in the demand." April interrupted.
Matt raised a brow as a response, "I would also advise everyone to avoid the killing. Once they go war freak, do not hesitate to disable them. In terms of height and size, we are no match." I said.
I realized that of course, I won't be as great as them, Solvier'res Ice Sword is with Matt, he didn't want the fire and fire is a terrible combination of what I could do. Solvier'res Swords is a ranked B-Grade sword. Its form looks like a machete but longer and sharper and it emphasizes the power by the design that represents its an element, the basic elements, Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, Grass, the double element, Ice, Mineral, Tornado, and many more, last but not the least the strongest elements, Void, Tsunami, Typhoon, and other dangerous complex elements.
I had four of them, three basic elements and one complex element. I wanted the Solvier'res, Ice Sword because Ice is my main power but if that's what he wants he gets it. The better the materials he uses the better performance he shows. Matt is reliable anyways so I have no worries. These energies, that the giants have will go to him and make his energy progression faster, the faster his energy goes the faster he could go to his original power way back then.
A couple of minutes passed, and we were ready to go up, April started doing her chant to create an opening above us. "Well, we gather in this very same hole, okay? I'll cast the points window, the first runner up gets 3 demands, second gets one. Shall we start?"
"I'm fired up! Let's start!"
"Of course I am," April said.
The rest nodded and April did her part, she did hand movements to open the ceiling. Her hand separated from both sides and the ceiling opened and just a split second foots started showering us.
"Sakura Blades."
"Veinial Sustain!"
"Graceful Slash."
"Blazing Force."
"Javelins."
"Fade Assassin."
We all cast our techniques, as expected Matt had the most kills while Luciel competed with him, April had locked lots of Giants, Emilia injured the Giants severely and I burned the giants surely killing them. My points showed up and it was 8 points which mean I killed eight Giants. Giants are massive ogres, sometimes are two-headed. I expect that April has more points than any of us. We went out above and an army of thousands with their merciless eyes stared into our eyes and it was as if staring into the abyss. Massacres are the destroyer of any forest but to this forest, they deal with no harm since this forest is twenty times bigger than the biggest city in the last 5 seas.
"Let's separate and meet here once again," I announce as they went to their sides.
The Giants at my side started running towards me with their big weapons of trees. They are as big as three houses and in physical strength they overpower us.
"Blazing Ice and Fire."
"Accompany Ice."
"Freeze."
"Ice Spear."
"Ice Spear of the greatest Javelier."
"Liviendar of Citrus City, Poison."
"Ice beam."
"The sun of Ice Beam."
"Winter."
"Javelin of fire Sword."
My spells were so much that almost destroyed my side of this forest. I've suppressed about 50 Giants killed about 180 Giants and severely injure 403 Giants, I have the total points of 733 points. I wonder how much they got already. It's most-likely noon and we have to get there before the full moon or this place will be surrounded with Alverininious, the most dangerous wolves around. One bite and you'll be dead within minutes.
It took about another hour to kill all the giants on my side and the energy around here was already flooded that could turn a beginner to a Magician Level which is 30 levels above. This will be great for Matt, and it would take him 3 hours to consume all of these. I've sustained 421 Giants, severely injured 3521 and killed 2111 and a total of 6895 points and there was no Giants left. I can't even stand... That took a lot from me. I'll just rest for a few minutes and start walking, I've got 32 Kilometers before I reach back to the hole.
Matthew Johnson Point of View~~
I've got a total point of 51,000. I've killed 29,756 and 21,244 severely injured. I think I've suppressed about 24 Giants which means 51,000 plus 72 so 51,072. I think I did really bad. I expected to have around 100,000 or more but rather got smaller. My shoulders are sore, and legs but It does not hurt or backing me down, I'm still in pretty great shape. I've got 73 Kilometers away before the hole and of course, I've gone to the side of Ethan and Alexander since they still weren't there. Well, I should head back.
I was flying back and the trail of blood, unending trail looked so disturbing... you could find one giant shaking and terrified, what I did to the other Giants probably made a big impact on them and traumatized them. I was close to the hole and the trail of dead bodies and blood still hasn't stopped. It was cruel but Giants does worst. If they overpopulate, they could massacre any living being. This was only a portion of them and there are probably tens of billions that are hiding and living their life. These guys are hunters who bring food back home that is 4 times bigger than them, I've seen a lot of dead wyverns that some Giants were eating, cooking, killing and many more. Wyverns are very nice being, in fact, we use them as transportation because they can easily be tamed even if it's twice as big as a Giant. I've also seen Acrodopites which are big wolves that are known for leadership and teamwork but now are dogs and food by Giants. Giants are monsters that do not follow balance. They are top of the Beasts food chain within the smaller Seas.
I was already here and it seemed like Luciel, April, and Emilia was also back. I looked at the side of Ethaniel and saw him walking towards us almost dead. Well, it looks like that. April has lots of injuries base on her clothes, but she can heal herself so no wounds nor blood just torn parts of her clothes. like I and Luciel remained unscathed meanwhile Emilia was severely injured and is being treated by April.
"Well, well. Looks like you had a tough time Ethan."
"I did, hadn't fought Giants in my lifetime and so I underestimated them. They are terrifying unbalanced beasts." He exclaimed and sat down, tired.
"Where is Alexander?" I asked.
"He's coming. I can feel his presence." Emilia answered.
And there he was at his side walking towards us holding his left arm that looked broken. Expected of him, he is an assassin, not a fighter.
"Well? What are we waiting for, announce your points." I excitedly said.
"I got 6,895 points. 3521 kills 2111 severely injured and 421 suppressed. I did pretty well." Ethan showed his points collector and had the same value.
April clapped her hands as if impressed. Luciel and Emilia tilted their heads with confusion while I laughed. Alexander was resting, "I got 19,875 Points." Alexander said and fell down.
"Ugh I've got 45,012 points," Luciel announces showing her points reader.
"Wait you guys had that big?!" April shockingly answered. "I got 9,000 points! 3,000 sustained..."
"That sure is small. How about you, Emilia?" I asked.
"I got 23,005 points, my prince." She replied.
"Oh well, as expected. I got 51,072 points. I've sustained 421 Giants, severely injured 3521 and killed 2111 and a total of 6895 points and there was no Giants left. I could've gotten more but there were no more Giants."
"Well, I guess we have a winner? Hey, can you explain how'd you get that much? You must've cheated!" April exclaimed.
"Ugh well, it wasn't part of the rules that we aren't allowed to invade the other sides. I invaded Ethaniel's and April." I explained while chuckling.
"I knew it! That's why there was a bunch of trails going onward! You cheat!" she pouted and turns back. I was only laughing.
"You should start now, Matt. We have to hurry before tomorrow at midnight.
"Ahh right! I'll start. Can you all help me create the magic seal? It'll make the process faster."
They did so, they helped create the magic circle and seal and in just minutes, it was finished.
"Well, I'll start."
I sat and started to meditate. I closed my eyes and saw the ocean of energies. They were red energies and green ones. This much is going to surpass my Red Energy from my past self. I exhaled and gathered everything into my body... I was floating and floating and there was a bright light even if my eyes were closed. Energies were overflowing my body, breaking my limit. I felt everything and the sore pain I got was gone in a blink... This will take a while.
April Eashane Point Of View~~
We were far from Matt yet the vibrant colour that were energies was seen in our sight. It was almost covering the mist that surrounds the forest. It was flowing of power... These were the energies from all the Giants that were killed and the suppressed. The suppressed Giants will die because of its energy drain but they give much more energy than the dead ones. Next up we were going to head to the guardian...
