Chapter 249 - Small giant

“ULTIMATE SKILL!”

[You have used The Dullahan King’s Sword’s Ultimate Skill.]

[Your stats have been updated.]

[Your nickname has changed.]

Alex swathed himself in the dullahan’s profound mana.

And as he drove closer to Schnee, Alex’s mind swirled with unnecessary thoughts. He blamed himself for taking time with his girls. If he had taken different steps, their connection would’ve been different.

They wouldn’t have just a few common skills with each other. Alex’s legendary class would’ve been in a better and stronger position. And while it might seem like those thoughts were right, in reality, it was not.

Everyone treasured their time with Alex. He didn’t leverage his position as the husband, which someone else granted him. He didn’t want to plot or scheme to gain the girls’ hearts…

He was just himself, and that part of his allowed sisters to become closer before opening their hearts to him.

Alex’s progress, both his own and with his girls, could’ve been better. There were always better scenarios, for people made mistakes for many reasons.

Nonetheless, Alex should never blame himself.

No one had ever become a legend in just a few months, after all.

But as he saw Schnee’s kitty body getting drilled by another legend’s sword, Alex couldn’t stop those thoughts from muddling his mind. He also heard someone else, as if something had slowly awakened within him.

For now, Alex decided to rely on The Dullahan King’s Ultimate Skill. His stats heightened, and his wounds closed. He became much faster, quickly shrinking the distance between himself and Liam Wall.

BANG!

While his swords stopped Liam Wall, Alex’s left hand utilized Stella’s healing skills. He also howled to Stella’s ear, hoping she would shake off her laziness. Unfortunately, Stella only opened her eyes, looking at Alex and Schnee with mixed feelings.

Alex clenched his teeth, drawing away The Empire’s wall from his beloved. He used his new immense strength. Even more, Alex called forth the dullahan’s mist, his swords swirling with wind and mist energies.

Against such power, Liam Wall couldn’t finish his task. He lost his foothold as Alex’s swords furiously launched a series of vicious slashes. Those weighted more than before, causing a few cracks to pop in Liam Wall’s immovable defenses.

And while Alex did all of this, everyone else gathered around Schnee. Her kitty form wasn’t weak, but Schnee’s defenses were second-lowest, only winning against Stella. In that form, she was sneakier but also more vulnerable.

To say nothing of Liam Wall’s legendary strength stemming from the higher realm.

“This is bad… She has lost consciousness… Her bleeding doesn’t stop… Stella!” Sara looked over Schnee’s wound, calling her little sister, who was still on Alex’s back.

It seemed as if all words eluded Stella. She didn’t react to her sister’s requests, feeling out of everyone’s reach.

If it weren’t for Alex’s healing skill, Schnee’s life would be in a worse situation.

Remia bit her lips, “We can’t cure her unless we drop her to the healing pool… But because of the antagonist’s event, we can’t leave this place…”

Without saying anything, Remia ordered her creation to assist Alex. Her forest bent to her will, offering all its support. Many branches desperately tried to hold down Liam Wall, yet he couldn’t snap them with just a little move.

His armor was heavy, and his strength was on another level. Everything else seemed pointless too.

Remia decided to use her leaves to disturb his vision, yet, in their precarious situation, Remia had forgotten his words. Even if he lost his eyesight, Liam Wall could infer the situation around him, for he was The Empire’s Wall.

Against such an opponent, Alex and his beloved could only use one thing; Absolute Strength.

And as Alex fought without caring about his stamina, wounds, or other stats, it was clear that he understood it all.

Or perhaps, he was already driven desperate.

[I don’t want him to suffer the same fate.]

“He gives me a weird vibe,” Rikka whispered while staring into the battle in the arena.

A clash between legends would always be exciting. And it was quite more since Alex had a class closely related to wives.

They were his strength, great support, but also a weakness.

They misunderstood or underestimated their opponent. And now, they were facing the consequences of their actions.

Rikka looked at her comrades, “Seriously now?”

They didn’t even hear her words. Those guys were so absorbed in the battle and Alex’s future that nothing other than the battle’s end would wake them up from their excitement.

After Alex called forth the dullahan’s power, Erik clapped his hands, “He has borrowed a power from the third source, doesn’t he?”

Rikka rolled her eyes, “Is there a difference between Alexander’s sword and Liam Wall’s red armor? Both come from their class.”

Erik pondered seriously, then lifted his index finger, “Liam Wall’s red armor belongs to The Old Spirit, which guides him. On the other hand, Elias Deathwill used his wife to get the sword.

He snatched it! He was a thief!

And thus, we shall lend our power to our cute villain,” Erik concluded, lowering his gaze to Liam Wall’s body.

From the sky, a unique concept fell onto Liam Wall.

[The cat girl is healing herself.]

[If she doesn’t die, this guy will no longer challenge me.]

[He will think of it as a victory if she survives.]

[He found a way to leave this arena!]

[He’s waiting for this girl to heal before leaving!]

Those thoughts were lies made out of Liam Wall’s fear.

A fear that drove him and his strength to another level.

“ALEXANDER DEATHWILL!” Liam Wall shouted, his form changing. His human body grew in size, becoming a small giant. His armor adapted to his new size like a living being, wrapping him in a tighter defense.

[You have temporarily unlocked an Lv. 200 Skill]

[Giant Slayer(Inferior Version).]

The Empire’s Wall protected its empire against every kind of enemy.

And giants were one of them. For the better defense, the soldiers adapted, turning themselves into giants as well.

Thus, Liam Wall became a giant.

And his sword became the weapon, seemingly ready to slash the heaven.

“I will kill you all!” Liam Wall shouted; his mind was clearly influenced by too much hungry demon’s concept.

In the sky, Erik lolled out his tongue, going hehe mode, “Hehe! Have we given him too much power?”
