Seeing himself surrounded by the mountain giants, Charles didn't panic at all. Instead, he calculated in his mind, it seemed like he was about to gain another 8000 gold coins.
"That's enough!"
The four mountain giants surrounding Charles spoke in unison.
At the same time, the ground beneath Charles's feet softened into quicksand, ready to swallow him up.
Above his head, a huge boulder fell from the sky, while three earth spears flew from the ground directly towards him. In addition, a mountain giant held a stone pillar and smashed it down as well.
The four of them joined forces as soon as they appeared, intending to take down Charles with a single blow.
"Boom!"
The stone pillar and boulder smashed into Charles with a tremendous roar. After the attacks landed, a huge cloud of dust was raised, reducing visibility significantly around Charles's location, obscuring everyone's view.
As the dust settled, only a broken wooden substitute remained in place, and Charles's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique
Having avoided the attack using the Substitution Technique, Charles instantly summoned rapidly rotating water into the air with his hands clasped together, causing it to spread out like a waterfall and attack the four mountain giants standing in place.
The water eventually formed a rushing river.
The river surged towards the four, directly knocking the mountain giants' massive bodies to the ground, rolling in the water. However, it didn't cause much harm, as the mountain giants' size was their advantage.
Nevertheless, Charles didn't stop his attack. He formed hand seals again.
Lightning Release: Lightning
A large amount of lightning spread along the water towards the four mountain giants. However, Charles didn't intend to end it there.
Lightning Release: Lightning Strike
Through the Dragon Ring, Charles instantly cast four more Lightning Release ninjutsu, striking each of the four mountain giants with a lightning bolt.
The four mountain giants lying in the water were first hit by the lightning within the water, then suddenly, lightning appeared in the sky, striking them once again, causing them all to sustain certain injuries.
"Hah!"
One of the mountain giants shouted loudly. Immediately, a huge earthen platform rose under their feet, lifting all four of them out of the water, removing them from the rushing river.
The water crashed against the earthen platform, creating huge waves, but it didn't destroy the platform.
At this moment, some Frost Giant warriors appeared near the flowing river. They touched the water's surface, and in a few breaths, the flowing river turned into frozen ice.
…
On the other side-
In the battlefield of the summoning beasts, Kamatari and the ninja turtle were already driven back under the siege.
As the battle unfolded, Gamakichi faced two commander-level Frost Giants. For a while, he couldn't gain much advantage, as his water iron cannon didn't do much damage against the Frost Giants.
Instead, it would turn into ice upon contact and be used against him. Fortunately, Gamakichi's was huge and he was wielding his short knives, which helped avoiding any significant losses.
Though he managed to hold off the two commander-level Frost Giants, he had no time to kill the endless stream of regular Frost Giants.
On the other hand, Aoda was struggling a bit. Its attack abilities were somewhat limited, and its ability to burrow underground was being restricted by the opponents' ice.
The attacks left numerous frozen marks on Aoda, forcing it to continuously emit poison mist to prevent the two commander-level Frost Giants from approaching.
However, Aoda could still eliminate some nearby Frost Giants using the poison mist.
Meanwhile, Katsuyu was the only one who was truly making progress. One of the two Frost Giants blocking her had been completely dissolved by her acid, leaving only residue behind.
The other was heavily injured, unable to harm her due to her monstrous size and terrifying regeneration abilities.
Wherever she went, the acid melted away all surrounding Frost Giants. Even when some approached her with the intent to freeze her, they were swallowed up the moment they touched her, dissipating instantly.
As for the Wood Clones dispatched by Charles, one had just used Chakra Enhanced strength to defeat the Frost Giant it was battling and collected the opponent's ice crystal.
With three out of the eight commander-level Frost Giants already dead and one on the verge of falling at Katsuyu's hands, the situation was dire for the Frost Giants.
…
Returning to Charles's side-
Watching the four mountain giants nearby and the Frost Giants breaking through where Gamakichi was, Charles decided not to hold back any longer. He intended to end the battle quickly.
In the next moment, Charles's Sharingan quickly rotated, forming a kaleidoscope-like pattern.
"Amaterasu!"
Charles looked at one of the commander-level mountain giants, and in the next moment, black flames appeared instantly on the giant's body.
The appearance of the black flames was sudden, without any warning, engulfed the mountain giant.
"What kind of flames are these!"
Shelton, the mountain giant, screamed in pain as he tried to beat out the black flames with his hands.
Seeing this, one of the other mountain giants reminded, "Quick, use the power of the earth to recover."
Another one shouted to the Frost Giants nearby, "Frost Giants, quickly use your ice power to extinguish the flames on Shelton."
Three Frost Giants immediately approached Shelton and tried to extinguish the Amaterasu flames with their ice power.
However, as soon as they made contact, the Amaterasu flames spread towards the Frost Giants.
"Ahh!"
The three Frost Giants that touched the Amaterasu flames were instantly ignited and burned to ashes at an astonishing speed.
While Shelton tried to recover using his earth power, he was continuously screaming in pain.
However, his recovery speed couldn't keep up with the damage caused by Amaterasu. Soon, his earth power was depleted, and Shelton was burned to death on the spot.
Only when he died did the Amaterasu flames dissipate.
