Chapter 361: Bet & Fight

From the moment that he had endangered his own life, and activated his hidden bloodline, he had never lost to anyone in his Realm.

When he had evolved and entered Realm 1 he was even stronger than before, and no one seemed to be his opponent anymore in the same Realm.

The only drawback of his bloodline was the fact that it made him grow bigger, taller, and wider than anyone else, in other words, it giantized his body.

Well, it wasn't like he could get surprised about that, as the truth was that his hidden bloodline was that of a Giant. He had no idea how he had ended up with something like that, but he had.

While it was extremely difficult to accept that, seeing the physical strength it provided him, it felt like it was a fair exchange.

It was exactly due to that strength that he was confident in bringing Eric down without wasting much effort.

As for his senses, after killing and bathing in the blood of so many people, he had started to have some sort of a sixth sense with respect to sensing blood and bloodied hands.

So while he appreciated Eric's calm, and natural countenance, together with that look of no-judgment on his face, he didn't think much of him.

Still, since he was able to evolve and become a Realm 1 being as well, then it meant that he was a bit capable, so after a bit of thinking, the giant dude looked at him with a weird complexion as he said,

"You aren't bad man! I like you!"

"Oh~! No, please! I don't play that way!"

"Huh~!? What do you mean!? I don't play that way either! I am saying that I like your character, so I will kick your ass and make you my servant, how about that!?"

"Oh, you seem pretty sure of yourself!"

But as he said that Eric heard a voice from inside his Conscience Sea,

"The bloodline of a Giant! This is going to be a fun fight!"

"Wait, wait! Do you mean that he truly has Giant blood in his veins? How is that possible!? How come there is Giant blood here on Earth!?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know that!? But aren't I here also? One thing is certain though, that guy truly has Giant blood inside him, and he will grow stronger with each Realm ahead.

He would be a great help to you in the future! If you manage to subdue a giant, and they make the Giant's blood oath with you, then he will be even more loyal than a slave seal subject to you!

Just saying!"

It wasn't like Eric didn't understand the reason that the Dragon Empress said those things to him, it was just that he didn't know how to react to this.

But the next instant his face immediately brightened, as he remembered the giant dude's words a moment ago, as he said,

"Why don't we do it like this!? If you win then I will willingly become your servant, but if I win then you will become mine! Giant's blood oath included!"

"Yo-You know I have Giant blood in me!? Then why do you even want to fight me? Are you some kind of masochist, and would like to feel pain?

Bro, you don't look like one! Truly no one could understand what is inside another man's heart from the first look!"

"Fu*ck you! You are a masochist! Your whole family are masochists! Damned bastard! I will truly make you regret those words! Now, do you accept the bet or not!?"

"Hhahahah~! Accept! Of course, accept! Why would I be afraid of a fight that I will definitely win! Just prepare yourself for a good massage later, my shoulders have been really stiff lately!"

Hearing that, a small vein popped on Eric's forehead, but he still managed to keep his calm and said with a happy face,

"Then let us stop wasting time!"

At first, he wanted to make the first hit and teach this guy that he shouldn't underestimate his opponent, but he quickly changed his mind.

Since he was intending to make this guy fully accept his defeat, he decided to give him a good beating so that he wouldn't be able to find any excuse.

The Giant was a bit surprised as he expected Eric to make the first move, but seeing that he wasn't moving, he couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

This guy even knew that he had a Giant bloodline in his body, making his physical abilities beyond the normal, and yet was standing with a calm and collected face in front of him, waiting for his attack.

Just what made him so confident?

Well, he didn't have the time, nor the patience to ask for it, so he decided to find out with the best and most direct way he could think, by attacking him.

With that decision made, he just crunched his bones once, and then jumped in attack towards Eric.

'Boom~!'

Even if he didn't want to happen, due to his body weight, and his physical abilities, the moment he jumped a booming sound was heard.

In front of him, Eric was extremely calm though, even as he heard the booming sound his face didn't show much change. In fact, the moment that he saw and heard that happen, there was a smile on his face.

Whoever saw that would feel that it was extremely creepy in this situation, but there was no one besides the two of them, and the giant dude didn't have time to worry about it.

Just to be on the safe side, he had decided to use 40% of his physical strength, as his punch went towards Eric's handsome face.

Since he had become a giant, this guy had started to develop some kind of hate for these normal skinny dudes with handsome faces. He wanted to punch them in the face and make them ugly.

Even though he kind of respected Eric, this didn't mean that he would treat him any different. This guy needed to be taught a lesson too.

The moment that his fist hand approached Eric's face though, he felt some sort of sturdy, and metal-like claw catch his punch.

'Swoosshhhh~!'

There was no sound whatsoever at first, and it was only an instant later that finally sound of wind rushing was felt behind Eric.

While Eric had stopped the punch coming for his face, he hadn't bothered with the potential of the punch outside his body, and it was quite the punch actually.

Just that it was useless against him! But he could feel that this wasn't the giant dude's full strength, as he pushed him away while saying,

"You better use your full strength, and fight with the intent to kill me, otherwise this won't even be pleasurable for me!"

His words flared the giant dude even more, as this was his first time trying to hold back against an opponent, and instead of being happy, he was even flaunting and chiding him.

How could he accept something like that!? Furthermore, with that first punch and the easiness that Eric blocked his punch, he could see that Eric was extremely strong.

With these thoughts on his head, he decided to not show any more mercy, and attack with his full strength.

'crunch…, crunch…, crunch…'

'BOOOOMMM~!'

The moment that he decided upon this, he quickly crunched his bones loudly once again, and this time the exploding sound was much louder, as his speed, strength, and attack strength had multiplied.

This time, even Eric couldn't stay calmly in his position, as he felt that his blood was boiling in excitement, he was finally meeting a worthy opponent.

The Realm 2 puppet was strong, but since its intelligence and moves were a bit limited, it was unable to create a real danger for Eric.

On the other hand, this giant dude wasn't far from that puppet in strength, and on top of that he seemed to be much more intelligent and battle experienced than that Realm 2 puppet.

So this fight seemed to be even better than the one he had with that Realm 2 puppet. His expectations were extremely high for this fight, as he decided to get serious as well.

With those thoughts in his mind, he quickly pulled his fist back, just like pulling the string of an extremely taut bow, and then released it towards the target.

It was fist against fist, physical strength against physical strength, both clashing directly without any weapon, or protective shield.

'Crraawwww~!'

'BBBOOOMMMMMMMM…, BOOOMMMMM…, BOOOMMMMM…'

Even before the two fists bumped towards each other, the sound of the taut bowstring releasing was heard in the area, which was nothing else but Eric releasing his fist.

The truly breathtaking scene though happened the next moment, as booming sounds rang all over the island, and two extremely big clouds of dust were raised like two hills.

Not only that though as the booming sounds were followed by some terrible cracking noises, and no one would be able to determine whether it was the sound of tree's cracking, or that of human bones.

It took quite some time for the dust and debris to start falling on the ground once again and slowly reveal the two men.

They both looked to be in extremely bad shape, as they were covered in blood and dirt. Not even the two of them themselves were able to understand whether it was their blood or the opponents.

What made this scene a bit more exotic and creepier though, was the fact that both their dirt-covered faces were showing an expression of surprise, and an evil grin.

Just like two dirty Grim Reapers grinning like fools…
