Chapter 364 A King Who Fights His Own Battles [Part 2]
?Even after being bombarded by dozens of giant Water Balls, the Bronze Giant didn’t seem to be hurt by them and stood up after the barrage was over.
Ethan was about to unleash another wave of attacks when the giant spoke, not by opening its mouth but through telepathy.
“Your little tricks don't hurt me in the slightest, Mortal.”
Ethan smirked when he heard the Bronze Giant’s words. He didn’t even care whether the Bronze Giant’s words were true or not. Because right now, all of that didn’t matter.
“I don’t care if my little tricks don't hurt you,” Ethan stated.
“Then why struggle?” the Bronze Giant asked. “In the end, it’s all futile.”
“You’re the perfect training dummy, that’s why. So what if my attacks don’t hurt you? All you need to do is accept them until I’m satisfied!”
“...”
The Bronze Giant didn’t expect that the mortal holding the trident in his hands would treat him as a mere training dummy.
He, who could slay giants through pure physical strength, had been feared across the land until the time of his death.
Before he breathed his last, he decided to impart his techniques and ability to the next person who would carry his Legacy. He did it by fusing his will to a Bronze Giant made by the best Conjurer of his time.
An indestructible body, which would never break.
A strength that surpassed dragons.
A punch that could kill giants.
Despite being ganged up on by all the creatures of the Sea, the Bronze Giant was still a force to reckon with, sending those who tried to attack it flying with kicks and punches.
Its movements were unhindered by the seawater, and it moved as if it were on land, which fascinated Henry.
The Head Prefect of Dud Manor suddenly felt enlightened, and he floated several meters away from Ethan, integrating the Bronze Giant’s fighting style into his own.
Ethan noticed that his Head Prefect seemed to be in a trance, so he made sure to keep the Bronze Giant at bay until the latter finished his enlightenment.
Nearly half an hour later, Henry finally broke out of his daze, gaining half of the Legacy that he was meant to learn.
The true power of the Legacy of “He Who Slays Giants” was divided into two parts.
The first one was to understand the battle style of the Bronze Giant through real battles.
Most challengers failed the first step because they simply couldn’t last long enough against the overwhelming might of the Giant.
With someone big, scary, and strong trying to smash them to bits, who had the time to pay close attention enough to learn its fighting style?
This was why after every challenger failed their first attempt, they would be allowed to bring a companion with them on the next.
This way, they would be able to observe the Giant’s fighting style while their companion fought against it.
Of course, many had also done this in the past. However, none of them were able to last long enough to succeed.
Ethan had just finished venting out his frustration at this point, and he was feeling much better compared to how he felt two days ago.
He wasn’t aware that Lilith, who had been hiding in his shadow, thanks to the illumination of the Sea God’s Trident, was both horrified and awed to see Ethan’s true power.
‘Unbelievable,’ Lilith thought. ‘Too bad Master can’t fight like this on land. Otherwise, he would be nearly unstoppable. Even so, I have seen something that even Emma is not aware of so that makes me the first one among his Protectors to see his true power, right?’
Lilith was thrilled at this discovery because she could boast to Emma once she returned to the academy and describe how amazing their Master was.
