    Behind the man was a creature that could incite fear in any one who would see it. Itsrge body was enough to destroy the entirety of the conference hall. They could already tell what it was based on the size of the hand that attacked the king.


    They could see that the hand wasing out from a portal that the man must have summoned without moving from his seat. If the giant''s body would emerge from it then the pce might really copse. In an attempt to close the portal or even disrupt it, Orpheus pushed his body to cut the portal.


    The white lighting from his sword intensified as he raised it after he disappeared from where he was and appeared before the portal. He brought down his sword in an attempt to destroy the giant hand and the portal together. The attack caused the whole building to shake.


    The ceiling started to crack and rubbles started to fall down. The dust filled the entire ce followed by an explosion that almost blinded the ones whose eyes were on the king and the portal. Cygnus on the other hand was sitting with a rxed smile on his face while all of that happened.


    After the light disappeared, the whole ce was in a mess. The explosion finally caused that whole part of the pce to crumble. In ce of it was a giant that was about nine meters tall. Its body was wide and it was wearing armor with arge sword in his other hand. Its skin was blue and its eyes were clearly looking down at them.


    Themotion made the warriors below look up. The shocked expression in their eyes couldn''t be hidden. Arcaine and Evira had no time to dwell on how a giant appeared in Lunaira because their enemies did not give them the chance to do so. They couldn''t even take their attention off from their enemies because if they did, they would definitely die.


    The people in the pce couldn''t do that though. All of their gazes were at the giant that stood before them. Orpheus thought that he seeded but he actually failed and now an unprecedented enemy was in front of them.


    "I''ll let him y with you and I hope you all survive." Cygnusughed as he disappeared from where he was sitting. He reappeared above the pce of Lunaira to spectate. His butler also appeared and served him his usual drink.


    The giant roared that it echoed throughout the pce. This noise caused a disturbance that made the animals and the birds escape away from the pce. These creatures instinctively knew that a monster appeared.


    "Do not falter now," Ulysses uttered with all the seriousness he could muster. They needed to focus on what was in front of them because if they didn''t, they would be defeated without even putting up a fight.


    King Orpheus gripped his sword and gazed at the giant. They had no experience or whatsoever in fighting such a monster but the generals and the dukes were experienced enough to fight one now. He looked at them and saw that they were also focused on the giant.


    The giant finally raised his sword and before he could fully raise it above him, a green arrow made out of mana flew and hit its arm. This was from the archmage who defeated the ogres that were in their way. Several magic arrows appeared in front of him and he did not hesitate to shoot them towards the giant.


    Lady Elvira did not fall behind as she summoned several ice crystals above the giant and let them fall down. Whatever the ice touched, all of it would freeze. While the giant was distracted by all the attacks from the mages, the warriors ran towards it.


    Swords and spears stabbed at the giants open leg as they aimed to out-bnce it. Their attacks were relentless. The king on the other hand also used his sword that was glowing to deliver a blow that he hoped would bring the enemy down.


    The giant covered its face to protect it from the attacks from the mages. It could also feel the stabs on its leg and with a roar he lifted his leg and stomped hard on the ground. This caused the already unsteady floor to crack. This move also sessfully got the warriors falling on the ground.


    The giant then swung its right hand which caused wind to blow the arrows and ice crystals away from it. His sword then sliced diagonally before he stabbed the floor and it finally copsed. The warriors started to fall down but luckily the mages caught them with magic.


    They floated in the air as they watched half of the pce falling into ruins. All they could do was watch. While they were in the air, a strong and sharp gust of wind could be felting their way. Although the giant fell down, it still managed to swing its sword towards them.


    Sigma maneuvered them at thest minute and they managed to avoid the attack. They looked down only to see that the giant was staring at them. "Drop us above it." Ulysses did not look back as he said those words and for the first time there was no objection.


    Sigma did what was asked of him and as he positioned them above the giant. As they were falling down, Archmage Sigma did not forget to reinforce them with defensive and strengthening magic. ckwell on the other hand provided each one of them with a defensive talisman.


    Their target this time was the giant''s unprotected face. Ulysses was hoping to stab its eyes and so did the king. Even Ishmael was aiming for the enemy''s soft parts. They were eager that they had no other focus but their targets.


    Cygnus was amused at how they were thinking. Giants were intelligent beings; such tactics won''t work on it that easily. Nevertheless, he still looked forward to the result of their efforts. He watched as they were falling down and stabbed the giant.


    The giant raised its arm to block the attack because it already felt their presence beforehand. Their weapons did not pierce their targets but that did not deter them from making any more attack. With the mage''s support, they pulled their weapons and before the giant could fling them away, they were already floating in the air once again.


    The enemy swung its sword towards them once again but the mage''s were faster and maneuvered them away from the de''s path. Sigma took this chance to move them closer to the giant. Orpheus took that chance to swing his sword and it created a long arc thatnded directly on the giant''s face.


    A long gash appeared across the giant''s face and green blood started to flow out from it. The giant roared as its other hand that had no weapon started to il around. It was moving from side to side and the people fighting it couldn''t find the right timing to attack.


    Elvira was not idle. While the giant was iling around and started to swing its sword all over the ce, she sneakily gathered her mana to summon arge stone wall that hit the giant on its side. This made the giant lean to the side and it gave an opening that the warriors utilized.


    Sigma flung them towards an opening that appeared as the giant raised its hand and fully revealed its face. Ulysses and Ishmael went straight for the monster''s eyes and stabbed deep. The giant iled even more and its roars continued to echo in the whole area.


    It tried to get ahold of the people who stabbed its eyes but before it could do it, King Orpheus took a deep breath and swung his sword vertically. The arc it created this time was longer and thicker. It also contained power that was very familiar with Cygnus. The arc hit the giant''s hand arm and sliced it off.


    The other generals and dukes also did not falter and attacked the giant. The iling and the movements from the giant continued to shake the earth and destroy thest pirs that were still standing on the area. They needed to kill it immediately because if they don''t it might cause more destruction.


    "Let''s cut its head!" Ulysses looked at Ishmael and gave Sigma a nod. Ishmael and Ulysses were positioned at each side of the giant after it got its bnce back.


    Elvira gave them mana and imbued their swords with the mana she could muster and so did Sigma. They needed to finish this in one fell swoop. Ishmael was covered with gray aura while Ulysses was surrounded with a green aura. They held their swords and swung it towards the giant''s neck.


    The attack prated the giant''s neck and sessfully severed its head. The giant''s head fell on the ground with a thud followed by itsrge body. The warriors who had been watching the fight cheered after the giant was defeated but their cheers did notst.


    Cygnus sighed and with a snap of his hand, a magic circle appeared below the crowd and several goblins holding scythes immerged amidst them. These bloodthirsty blue goblins started to swing their scythes and killed several warriors already. Their armors were no match with the sharpness of their weapons.
