Reaching the limits of his breath and strain on his lungs, the thunderous scream reached its conclusion as he found himself breathless, attempting to inhale, though in that exact instant, the champion reached him with blinding speed.
"Gkk–!"
Unable to react quick enough, he found his throat clenched in its merciless grip, lifting him off of the ground as it held him up, looking at him with that stoic, stone-carved expression.
'Can't…breathe!' He thought.
Kicking his legs didn't help much, launching direct blows with his legs against the giant's body, though finding its "stone" skin to feel more like an impervious diamond.
"Ghhh…!" He struggled to breathe, beginning to panic as his brain worked in overtime to find a way out of his deathly predicament.
