Chapter 325: Say Cheese!

Chapter 325: Say Cheese!

The once grassy fields north of Auralba were in chaos. The forces of good and evil(Depending on your point of view) clashed there in a bloody battle.

However, as the cannon fodder from both sides met their grizzly end in the middle, the two leaders, the Giant and the King, fought like mad dogs.

Like a giant hairless gorilla going against a living torch, the two were trading blows, seemingly without end!

Or actually, it was the Giant dishing out most of the punishment, pounding King Robart into the ground with ever-increasing intensity and rage.

In his eyes, the human was barely worth his attention, being so small and weak, but he just wouldn't die! The burning body hurt his fists as he struck him over and over, and yet the damned human just kept laughing!

The gall! The insolence!

ROAR!

The Giant expressed his dissatisfaction through angry roars that shook the air and frightened the weak-willed souls.

"This is fucking stupid!" Gerald observed this clown show, considering if he should still escape or lend a helping hand instead. The King was keeping the beast occupied at the moment so it was a perfect opportunity

But on the other hand, it was extremely dangerous, especially with the enraged Giant lashing around.

"What to do, what to do" Gerald scratched his head, feeling conflicted. "Aaah! Whatever! I'm never getting a better opportunity than this!" he eventually decided.

"That motherfucker has to die either way, so" Gerald grinned like some evil mastermind and took out a scroll. He didn't have many left, and it was difficult to acquire due to the rarity of ingredients.

The (not so) famous, Solar Point!

"Alright!"

The two men went to each do their part. The immortal King went to be an annoying bastard and started beating on Giant's toes, this time with great effect. It appeared the giant monster was quite sensitive there since it quickly started roaring and raging in pain.

Despite getting beaten repeatedly, suffering inhuman pain at the same time, King Robart kept his word and annoyed the Giant to no end.

Throwing the attacker away so many times, only to have it come back over and over again like a pest, beating on his toes and shins, sometimes even aiming for the groin, the Giant was bound to have a mental breakdown soon.

At least, his once calm demeanor was now becoming increasingly chaotic and enraged, almost going berserk even.

Gerald made use of this to get close and readied himself. He created an immensely powerful Greater Fireball and tossed it in Giant's face to get his attention. It worked!

The beast immediately locked onto him with its murderous blood-red eyes and released a deep guttural growl, expressing his anger.

"Here, catch this, and don't forget to say cheese!" Gerald shouted and tossed three pieces of parchment in the air towards the Giant. He then quickly turned around and covered his eyes with his hands and did his all to protect his body with magic.

The Giant, on the other hand, focused his attention directly on the tiny specks traveling towards him. The three scrolls disintegrated in an instant as a burning, blinding white light took their place, concentrated and directed towards a single direction.

A roar that shook both the soldiers and the monsters to the core, reverberated across the battlefield, as the blinding light in the Giant's eyes turned to black short three seconds, as the retina and optical nerves in the massive eyes boiled and burned, never to be used again.

In an instant, the Giant went blind. He wasn't the only one, of course. The King lost his sight as well, but under the effects of the Elixir of Life, he almost immediately recovered, so no real harm was done.

A few soldiers and monsters were temporarily blinded as well, the distance of the reflected laser working as a sort of flash grenade for them.

Seeing his plan has worked, Gerald quickly gained altitude, getting ready for part two!
