Chapter 814: Epilogue (8)
So hes the one who cast that barrier I thought it was some barrier mage hiding amongst the troops that did it.
Dont just stand there, keep pressing the attack, little brother. Doesnt matter if you use those mana cannons, just dont stop attacking!
Her reminder immediately jolted me back to reality. Her hint made me notice that, while the dome might be covered in cracks, they were visibly mending at an appreciable rate!
****. I need to break that spell, quick.
With no time to waste, I summoned forth a 3.5 meters greatsword with a wave of my right hand.
Then like a great warrior of old, I raised the greatsword up high and brought it down on the stone giant.
Yet the stone giant was no slouch either. While it might have towered over me at ten meters tall, it wasnt slow at all. It wasnt fast as lightning, but it was only a smidge slower than Wyrm.
It was now or never. I had just dodged his palm strike barely and swerved to his back for a strike. Fully intending to end the fight now, I aimed right at his head!
Crack
The mending barrier immediately shattered upon impact. However, just when I thought the dragonslayer greatsword would reach him, the stone giant spun around at unbelievable speeds to strike at me with his palm.
A sonic boom exploded in the air around me, his palm strike bearing down on me with a frightful wave of air pressure. I knew I couldnt meet that headon and quickly tried to pull back my strike with a spin and backstep.
Phew that was too close
At a glance, his dome was able to fend against magical attacks. But it wasnt very flexible. Even if the dome did not hinder himself from leaving its protective radius, re-adjusting the position of the dome wasnt that easy. It took a whole three minutes for it to be deployed again. And as long as I could break the shield, I had three minutes to pepper him with magic.
Having realized that weakness, I ducked in with Revolution Slice, dodging his palm strike in the process. Nearby, his own troops were sent flying by the missed attack
At the same time that I dodged his attack, I landed a heft strike against the stone giants blue dome. A crack swiftly snaked across its flawless exterior. Sensing the damage, the stone giant promptly tried to stomp on me.
I ducked underneath once more with Revolution Slice and landed another strike on the dome.
One after another, I spun around the massive dome, landing strikes while dodging the attacks that flew out. Each slice created a deafening crash, before finally an explosion occurred and the sound of falling glass filled the air.
Defenses destroyed, the stone giant wasted no time at all in trying to flatten me with his entire body. My surroundings immediately darkened and I could tell I had to get out right now!
Boom!
A massive earthquake soon followed. The walls of the fort seemed to jump off its foundations for a second there, and the world seemed to have turned upside down.
This was the first time he had attempted a full-body attack, and it was most likely meant to be a surprise move.
Unfortunately, I was a veteran of certain video games. And every gamer knew that a stone giant always had a move like that.
Ignoring the cloud of dust and rubble around me, I quickly sent out the 72 plates of Heavensbreak for a coup de grace!
