Chapter 10 - 10: The Phantom 2

"A Cursed giant!" Hex gulped hard on his saliva to complement his fear.

Even in his previous existence, this type of beast was frightening; not the sharpest of minds, but once they get you in their terrible grip, they squeeze until your bones shatter and your head pops out of its flimsy neck.

Surely not the brightest way to die.

To Hex meeting this being was fated, the amount of hate he harbored for this type was overwhelming.

In his previous existence, the Cursed Giant caused the death of his dearest buddy.

The Cursed giant grabbed Anji, hoisted him to eye level, and burst his head open like a cork deep within a bottle of wine, and all he could do was scream and struggle, too feeble to lift a finger.

Or, more accurately, too afraid to move a muscle.

'This is different though, I have the Phantom in me. It gives me strength and power, promises me I will change this world to be better for me!'

ROOOOAAAAARRRR!!!

The Cursed Giant ranted its horrible howl, tightening its muscles till they violently bulged.

'What! Is this fool riled to see me?'

Hex steadied himself by tucking his hands into his pockets and assuming an unpleasant stance that demonstrated to the giant that he was not afraid of it in the least.

'I want to see this bastard angry and hopeless.'

The Cursed Giant completed its terrifying performance by turning around and grasping a structure that was shorter than it.

It yanked the structure many times before removing half of it from its base.

It pounded its foot into the ground, gaining stability before tossing the structure at Hex.

"You did not think this through, Did you?" Hex extended his palm to destroy the structure, but he paused.

If he squandered important Mana here, he would pass out before saving his interests. That would be unacceptable to him.

"Damn!" Hex made a sharp turn and dashed forward with all of his power. 'Stupid Phantom!'

Shuuuulllm!

The building smashed against the floor, shattering into a hundred fragments of dirt and shards.

Fwuuullp!

"Huuyyaaak!" Hex shouted at the top of his lungs as a massive piece of wood crashed with his behind, knocking him flat on his face. 'Damn fatigue, I am killing that stupid giant!!!'

Riled up, Hex dragged himself to his feet, facing the structure that obscured his view of the giant.

"Hey, I am not done chewing you up!" Hex screamed loudly for everyone to hear. 'The moment it shows it's face, I will blast it with a small amount of power and kill it.'

Booooom!

Hex's eyes widened as the giant sprang from the earth and pointed like a spear at him.

'I didn't plan for this even if I kill it, I won't be able to dodge.... I will get squashed!'
