The giant lifted its foot.
With one step, the entire arena's ground trembled.
The massive longsword dragged in its hand, the blade cutting into the ground, leaving a bottomless trench as rubble and dust sprayed to the sides.
Audric stood still, his body covered in a pale golden scale armor, his vertical pupils fixated on the approaching giant.
Then the giant swung its sword, a strike executed with full might.
The longsword swept upwards from below, the silver-white gleam from its edge almost solidified, surging skyward like an inverted waterfall.
The moment the sword edge touched him, Audric vanished.
His figure left a pale golden afterimage in the air, which was torn apart by the sword's light, but his real form had already appeared fifty meters away in mid-air.
Boom—!!
The sword's light struck the arena's ground.
The entire arena shook violently.
A hundred-meter-long fissure extended forward from the sword's impact point, wide by several meters, and bottomless.
