Chapter 22: Ruthless Sun And Elemental Sword Formation

I observed the giants before thinking of my next move.

I don't even know if I can defeat those huge beasts.

All I hope is that we won't be in harm's way.

The giants haven't discovered us so I took the initiative to launch the first blow.

I concentrated all of my mana to form a huge ball of fire and I launched it into the sky.

A huge ball of fire was shining brightly up in the sky that caught the attention of the giants.

I directed my hand towards the direction of the giants and signaled my hand in a down sign.

The huge ball of fire followed my command and it fell. It is heading towards the giants.

"Take this! [Artificial Sun] second move! [Ruthless Sun]!", I launched the huge ball of fire towards the giants.

The huge ball of fire hits the giants and upon contact, a tremendous impact befalls on the giants and the huge fireball burned some of them into ashes.

"They are so weak after all!"

*Warning!*

*The host's life will be in danger. The system has detected powerful opponents that even the host can defeat. The system suggests the host retreat or escapes as soon as possible.*

'How many of them are there?'

*The number of opponents can't be counted. The system can only estimate that it is beyond one thousand but it can be much more than the estimated amount. The system advises the host to proceed with caution.*

"Zale and Aerin, we need to use our strongest skill that doesn't cost that much mana to defeat the giants. Some of them are considered to be powerful."

"I attracted the opportunity that Aerin and I will be safe and sound but I don't think that it will apply to you, Axel. So I think you should focus on defending yourself rather than us.", Zale says.

"I am sure that nothing wrong will happen to Axel! After all, he is considered to be one of the strongest heroes and the one who has the most potential among all heroes!", Aerin comforts me.

"Potential is useless if you will die early so be sure to protect yourself, Axel. Aerin and I will find a place to hide since we are not as powerful as you.", Zale says while pulling Aerin's hand and runs to a nearby tree to hide in there.

'That bastard named Zale! He leaves me in here to fend off the giants while he acts like a girl and hid together with Aerin! I will punish him later!'

"Now what shall I do with these giants?"

I cast [Shadow Bind] and a lot of shadow tentacles emerged from the shadow of the giants and then wrapped them but since the giants are gigantic, it only restrained their feet, not their body.

I kept on pouring my mana into the spell I cast to make it more powerful and the shadow tentacles slowly grew and wrapped the giants from their feet until it reached their whole body.

I cast [Shadow Thorn] then the shadow tentacles that wrapped and bind the giants turned into vines and thorns protruded from the shadow vines.

The thorns from the shadow vines impaled the giant's skin which some blood started to drip from the giant's body.

Screams can be heard from the giants as they endured the pain that they felt and kept on struggling to remove the shadow vine but it was all in vain.

After all, I am a genius when it is magic that we are talking about!

I was feeling cocky which is my mistake as it led to the outcome of missing my focus which resulted in me being sneak attacked by one of the giants that slipped from my watch.

I quickly dispelled my magic spell and stepped sideways to avoid the club of wood that the giant swung at me.

A crater generated from the giant's club into the ground as it slammed it.

Good thing I managed to dodge the attack or I will lose my precious HP.

The system wasn't joking about the giants being a powerful opponent.

The giants weren't even bothered by the shadow thorn that I attacked them as they quickly snapped out of the pain and runs to me.

I flew to the giants using [Dragon Wings] and a rainbow-colored pair of wings appeared on my back and it flapped as I fly towards the giants.

I took out the iron sword that I forged yesterday and slashed it to one of the giant's neck which decapitated the giant.

'At this rate, I can't defeat the giants in just a day. I need to think of a new skill!'

'Since I'm wielding a sword, thus I should use a sword skill. It needs to be flashy and cool and it must be powerful.'

I thought of a sword skill from a comic that I had read in my before life and it inspired me to use it in this fantasy world.

First, I need to visualize the sword that I will materialize. Second, I need to infuse it with mana and the power of the elements so that it will deal a lot of damage. Lastly, I must control it precisely and perform several sword skills using the swords that I have materialize.

"[Elemental Sword Formation]!", I cast and seven swords with different elements appeared at my side and on top of me.

"Isn't that a sword skill that only a sword saint can perform? My fiance is extremely powerful that it might make the gods jealous!"

"I never expected that he will become this strong in only three weeks of coming into this world!"

I manipulated the seven swords making them perform different sword styles that I have watched in animes.

A series of cuts and slashes were directed to the giants and they were forced to step back so they retreated.

I breathe a sigh of relief as I felt tired from all the fighting.

"Finally! That was tiring!"

I sat on the ground and started to meditate.

*Ding!*

*Host has unlocked a new skill! Meditation skill has been obtained.*

'Skill information for the meditation skill.'

*Displaying skill information...*

'It seems useful so I should use it often to relieve myself from all of this stress.'

I sat on the ground and meditated for an hour.

It took me a while to fully recover my stamina.

I stood up and practiced my swordsmanship by striking my iron sword forward in the air at least ten thousand times until I felt that my hands and arms felt numb.

I meditated again to restore the stamina that I lost from my training. It took me an hour before I finished recovering my stamina.

I remained vigilant and wait for the upcoming attacks of the giants but nothing happened.

[7 in the evening]

I kept on waiting but nothing happened.

Suddenly, a tremor can be heard and the sound of loud stomping can be heard from afar.

It must be the giants!

I took out my iron sword and cast [Elemental Sword Formation] and seven swords appeared beside me.

I did a sword stance to prepare for the upcoming attack and soon enough, a giant that is twice as huge as before swung its club to me.

I bombarded it with my seven swords and performed consecutive slashes and cuts to the giant.

Unfortunately, it didn't do sh*t on the giant and it hit me with its club and I was sent flying.

I activated [Dragon Wings] and a pair of rainbow-colored wings appeared on my back and I flapped my wings and flew away from the giant.

The giant caught up with me and kept on swinging its club and I was struck again which made me land on the ground. A huge crater formed on the ground where I landed.

I used [Nature Manipulation] to control the grass and plants.

I controlled it to attack the giant by binding and impaling it but it was no use since this giant has a much stronger defense than the other giant that I encountered.

'This is making me mad! Do you think that I can't penetrate your defense? Then I will show you what a genius mage can do!'

I cast [Blackhole] and an orb that is colored black appears which ripped the space and sucked the giant into the orb.

Several giants started to approach me so I cast multiple [Explosive Fireball] and a black ball of fire appeared and I launched it towards the giants which then exploded upon contact.

The sound of explosion rings throughout the forest as I kept on casting multiple [Explosive Fireball] to fend the giants.

The [Explosive Fireball] that I cast only left a dent on the giants' bodies.

"These giants are powerful! Let's commence round 2!"
