Chapter 3261: The Giant King's Bet

In order to prevent the other party from not seeing it, after taking out the pistol, Xia De specifically raised it high—that is, aimed it at the giant's face:

"The gun in my hand has the characteristic of a one-shot kill, and I'm not afraid to tell you that this gun still has nine bullets. Even if your resistance is strong enough, it is impossible to be intact under nine bullets.

So in order not to waste time, and not to waste my bullets, can we adopt a more peaceful way? For example, do you like playing cards?"

"This weapon is indeed powerful."

The crowned Giant King let out a low laugh:

"But if you can beat me head-on, in addition to that flame, I can give you a drop of blood."

"What blood?"

"The blood of the ancient Thunder Titan. This is a treasure that has been kept by me since the fall of the kingdom in the Second Era. I once thought about using this to revive the kingdom, but too much time has passed, really too much time... You are a descendant of giants, this is an opportunity you will never encounter again."

"I am not a descendant of giants, I must explain this clearly."

Although he really wanted that thing, the outsider would never take such advantage. This is something that carries the revival of a race, and it might even be contaminated with some fate. But Miss Violet's voice sounded behind Xia De, and she was very serious:

"Xia De, don't be stupid, agree to it."

The giant didn't care about Xia De's words:

"Whether you are a giant does not depend on what you say. I won't give you any requirements, beat me head-on, and take it away. I'll give you three minutes to prepare."

After speaking, he closed his eyes and stood there holding his sword, like a black statue.

Xia De turned to look at his three companions:

"Alright then, it seems I really have to fight it. Although I am not a giant, it just so happens that I am facing a tricky enemy that cannot be fought with weapons recently, and I need to enhance my physical strength."

Miss Liade was too weak to provide much help, but the remaining two witches were true powerhouses. Miss Violet shifted her gaze from the Giant King to Xia De:

"I don't know how your moral standards are so high. Are the girls in the future all... I considered this situation when I responded to Theresa's call. Although this body is not as perfect as my own, in terms of functionality, it can do things my own body cannot. Xia De, don't resist next~"

She took out a "Soul Teardrop," winked at Xia De, held it in her mouth, and then took a step forward, wrapped her arms around Xia De's neck, and kissed him passionately. The rose-gold patterns originally hidden on the flesh puppet's face emerged again, and some of them transitioned to Xia De's face during this kiss.

Both of their bodies glowed, and after the light dissipated, Xia De found that the Miss Violet he was holding had changed from a heroic lady of about twenty-four or twenty-five to a young girl of about eighteen or nineteen.

Part of the power of this body was permanently consumed after mixing with the "Soul Teardrop."

So "She" reminded softly in his ear:

【Outsider, you have received the temporary blessing of the "Chaos Great Witch" life essence: your physical fitness and regenerative ability are greatly enhanced; when you use conflicting powers, you will produce brand-new effects. This effect lasts until the end of this time adventure】

"It seems the effect is not bad."

The young blonde girl smiled and stroked Xia De's face. The young Miss Violet had some similarities with Theresa, but the arrogant temperament she possessed was far beyond Theresa's reach.

"Your body..."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a flesh puppet. If you like it, I'll give you another one after I leave. Oh, look at your expression now, it's really interesting. Alright, let's solve this matter first."

She said and pushed Xia De to Sister Beren, who bowed her head slightly.

"Sister Beren, now I need the power of fire."

The nun seemed to tremble. She held her hands forward and raised them, and the slender flame jumped between her palms, which had some burn marks:

"Please touch... the darkness within me."

Her voice was really trembling, so Xia De knelt on one knee according to the standard ritual etiquette and placed his right hand in the nun's palms.

Although the First Flame in this era was more vigorous than when Xia De first met Sister Daifulin, the completeness of the First Flame was much lower. Although the power of that flame was strong, it lost its purity because it was "incomplete," but even so, this nun who held the fire from the previous era still selflessly dedicated a part of the power she possessed to the outsider.

【Outsider, you have received the temporary blessing of the "Primordial Fire": flame power is temporarily enhanced, and the effect lasts until the end of this adventure.】

【Outsider, you have received the spell "Burning Oath": by igniting your own flames, your body temperature rises rapidly, and while enduring the pain of burning, your speed and strength are greatly improved.】

The scorching fire flow flowed from Sister Beren's hands to Xia De, and then gradually merged into his soul. Xia De had not heard of this spell in the Sixth Era, but the First Flame series of secret arts that were enhanced by enduring the pain of burning were recorded in the era of Sister Daifulin. Presumably, this is one of the lost powers during the era change.

The flames rolled back until they dissipated. After Xia De got up, he looked at the little radiance of the "First Flame Embers" that had not completely extinguished on his right palm, and then thanked Sister Beren softly. The nun who took back the flames shook her head gently. Although the mithril eye mask was dim in the dim tomb chamber, Xia De could feel that she was looking at him.

"This cursed king... amidst your surging flames, I see the dust piled up on the throne."

"Then I will set off."

Turning to look at the black giant who reopened his eyes in front of the throne, Xia De almost instantly gave up the plan to "clean up the other party" in normal size:

"Body of Courage!"

As he walked forward step by step, his body gradually became larger, until when he pulled the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 from the air, his height was already equal to that of the Giant King.

The activation of the Red Dragon's power made Fiona's roar vaguely appear in the air, and the brand-new spell 【Burning Oath】 seemed to ignite every blood vessel of Xia De. His skin turned slightly red, and the sound of his heart beating violently formed an echo, reverberating heavily in this tomb chamber.

But Xia De did not feel any "pain of burning." He just felt as if a ball of fire was burning fiercely in his heart, and the heat made him want to roar loudly and impolitely at this moment.

【Body of Courage】 and 【Burning Oath】 were clearly two different powers, but Xia De felt that the strange art and the spell actually had a promoting effect on each other.

At this moment, he could no longer suppress the urge to fight. After his height reached the same level as the Giant King, he charged forward, and the magnificent Moonlight Greatsword in his hand slashed out, and then was blocked by the stone sword in the hand of the Giant King who stepped up to meet him in a heavy sound.

The huge vibration sound of "Clang~" did not shake this ancient mausoleum, but it really made Miss Liade, who was only in the middle stage, feel her blood surging.

The three witches then retreated together to the position of the metal door of the tomb chamber, looking up at the two 80-meter-tall giants fighting each other with swords. With their body size, even if they just swung a sword with all their strength, the whistling sound caused was enough to produce violent echoes in this closed space.

It was like bombs constantly exploding in the ears, and this was just a collision of purely physical power.

Under the blessing of silver moonlight, "First Flame," and "Red Dragon" power, Xia De beat the Giant King back steadily at the beginning, but soon the Giant King relied on the protection of the disgusting black pus on his body surface and his own super high defense to suppress Xia De in turn.

However, Miss Violet was not worried that Xia De would lose. She, who had become eighteen years old due to the loss of physical strength, smiled and watched the man she chose fight with the ancient mythical creature, thinking about things only she knew in her head.

And Miss Liade, who played a huge role in this exploration, couldn't help but ask loudly amidst the loud noise:

"If Mr. Hamilton were not here, Your Majesty, and Sister, could you defeat this giant?"

Sister Beren hesitated before nodding:

"Yes, but the price would be very high. If I did that, I would have to find a successor after I go back."

This was spoken using telepathy, and Miss Violet, who was smiling and admiring Xia De's figure after he became larger, replied casually:

"Of course I can, just self-destruct."

"Self-destruct?"

"Of course, this is not my real body, but the other party only has a soul worn down by time. What am I afraid of self-destructing?"

And for Xia De, who was truly fighting with the giant, he felt that the state of the enemy this time was very poor. Although in terms of strength, he was about the same level as the ancient giant, the feeling of a hero in his twilight years was too obvious.

To be arrogant, he thought that his young self was like the rising sun, while the ancient giant corpse in front of him was already the setting sun that was about to fall after burning out.

"Meow?"

The small cat meow came from somewhere in his body. The enlargement of his clothes also made his pockets larger, so the cat could not crawl out for the time being.

Originally at the beginning of the battle, Xia De was still thinking about whether there was a trick like "the storm knocks down the big tree" to defeat the opponent, but from the first sword swing, he was also sure that he would not lose.

The Moonlight Greatsword exerted excellent sword skills, and after several slashes, it cut off the giant's stone sword. Seeing that the black giant dropped the broken sword, Xia De also dropped his weapon.

The pitch-black 【Chain of Sin】 slid out from his sleeve and wrapped around his fists and arms, and then he fought the giant with pure physical strength, treating this as a rehearsal before fighting the demons in the snowy mountains.
