Chapter 181 First Battle Against The Frost Giants
"This is the plan".
"Frost Giants are…" Legolas paused as he suddenly turned to look at Christensen who gulped on feeling his master\'s glare.
"Umm…, I know about Frost Giants too". He chuckled.
"Good, tell us about them".
Christensen cried. "What of Blade? You never ask him…"
"Blade is no Summoner, he is a Pugilist, a class which excels in close combat hand-to-hand battles, or can you beat Blade in close combat?"
Christensen pouted. "No".
"Always remember, as Summoners, it is our duty to know everything so that we won\'t be caught off guard by our enemies, so tell us about Frost Giants".
Christensen turned to look at Blade who had a neutral look on his face, he secretly cursed at his younger brother before taking a deep breath.
"Frost Giants are a race of the Ancient Darvis era known for their gigantism and strength, their giganticness is only beneath that of the Ancient Giants".
"Their frost skin is rumored to be as hard as steel".
"Only the runes of the Giants make them tougher than the Frost Giants".
"Apart from using their weapons to battle, their greatest weapons are their icy curved horns and their control over frost energy".
"From a young age, Frost Giants are trained to master control over their horns. With them, they can turn into slaughter machines with the strength of Strength Bulls and the lethality of Metal Wolves".
"Their control over frost energy is elite, few beings can eclipse them".
"Like?"
"…" Christensen speechlessly stared at his master.
Legolas had a calm look on his face. "Few beings like Leo, Frost Wolves have some of the best control over frost energy".
"Continue".
Christensen took a deeper breath then he continued.
"Their attack methods with their weapons is fairly basic and easily predictable, it\'s their incredible strength that is the bane of all their enemies".
Christensen looked at his master as he finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Frost Giants were last seen 600 years ago".
"Nice". Legolas was generous as he complimented him. "But…"
Christensen\'s heart skipped a beat.
"You forgot something, their weaknesses, knowing every information about a certain race without knowing their weaknesses is as useless as a science student learning the complicated and useless formulas of mathematics".
"…"
Legolas alternated his gaze between his 2 students. "Listen carefully, from what we\'ve just seen, we may be about to enter Frost Giant territory".
"The only weakness of Frost Giants is their horns".
"Their horns are as hard as steel but are as vulnerable as glass at only a single point. Directly beneath the point where their horns connect to their heads, there is a barely visible white line, you hit there, you kill them".
"Unfortunately…, only the most established of Pugilists can hit this tiny white line 100% of the time".
"Well, fortunately for us, we are not about to kill these Frost Giants which opens way for their only other weakness".
"Killing them is too much of a chore".
"But that will expose us to the Clown Society\'s Black Master". Blade was quick to interject as he recognized the risk.
Legolas smirked. "Do you really think we can sneak into the Ice Elemental plane through this portal without alerting the Frost Giants?"
"They made the portal, they control it, they\'ll always know so killing these Frost Giants to prevent the circulation of information means absolutely nothing".
"Oh…" Blade nodded in understanding. "So, what\'s their 2nd weakness?"
"Speed". Legolas grinned.
"Only Frost Giant Warlords can move at regular human speed, as for the others, they are slowpokes with ridiculous amounts of strength and defense".
Legolas turned to look at Leo. "They are immune to frost damage but not to freezing, you can freeze them to further hinder their speed".
"Our plan is rattle them, outsmart them, then outrun them".
"Do you all get it?"
"Yes, Master".
"Good".
They were about to leave but Lucky suddenly interjected. "I can make the plan a lot easier…"
…
As the icy wind blew, 3 Frost Giants stood as diligent watch guards as they watched their surroundings alertly to quickly detect any intruder ahead of time. Suddenly, all 3 of them looked ahead.
Thud! Thud!
With Poseidon\'s Fury on his right hand, Blade charged towards the 4 Frost Giants with the momentum of a racing Ferrari supercar.
"Humans!" The heftiest Frost Giant wielding a war Axe grumbled.
Boom!
One stomp of this monster on the ground induced a mini-earthquake, before he could take the next step though, Blade made his move.
"Roar!" Blade roared like a beast.
Blade activated both the Demoralizing roar and Disorientation abilities of his master of debuff talent. As soon as the 3 Frost Giants lost their sense of orientation and balance, Blade gave the signal.
"Now!"
Christensen rode out on top Leo as this massive Frost Wolf howled loudly.
The 3 Frost Giants instinctively turned to focus on the human and his wolf, and this was the opportunity that she waited for as Vixen made her move.
As a Grade D Ferrucyon Fox with incredible innate illusion powers, adding all the leading distractions made it even more potent as all 3 Frost Giants instantly fell into an illusion. The next moment, they started seeing a different reality.
They no longer just saw Christensen and Leo, what they rather saw was a human and his wolf drenched in the blue blood of Frost Giants.
Not only that, as this human and his wolf escaped, they dragged a dying young Frost Giant along as this young brother of theirs gasped for life.
"ROAR!!!"
All 3 Frost Giants roared angrily the next moment as they went in pursuit.
Their powerful guttural roars reverberated through the cold North with incredible force, momentarily halting the movement of the icy cold wind.
Thud! Thud!
The sound of their massive foot hitting the snow as they ran spread mini-earthquakes through the earth, they held their weapons high, agitated already from what they saw as they got prepared to attack.
The spear-wielding Frost Giants threw their spears.
Boom!
Their cooperation was impeccable, the wolf could not escape as it was left in a pool of its own blood in no time.
The most powerful Frost Giant roared triumphantly as he charged after the stranded human, when he got close enough, he swung down his giant war Axe.
With one swing of his war Axe, this human became lost in history.
But…
Crack!
This was when the illusion finally cracked, it was like they were living in a glass world before now and the glass finally cracked, revealing the real world.
Startled, the 3 Frost Giants looked down.
They saw no human, they saw no wolf, what they rather saw were Iron-horned Elks. At this moment, the war Axe of the strongest Frost Giant already cut the Alpha Iron-horned Elk in twain in one slash.
As for the ice spears of the remaining 2 Frost Giants, instead of pinning a wolf, it was rather 2 Iron-horned Elks that they pinned to death.
At this moment, a strange entity already froze them to knee-length level as they struggled to move. The Frost Giants were stunned as they finally understood what happened, they turned and their faces despaired.
Without them knowing, they already strayed away from the teleportation portal and standing before the portal were 3 humans and their beasts.
"ROAR!!!" The most powerful Frost Giant roared angrily.
Legolas smiled back at him. "I love you too".
"Adios".
He led the way as they all jumped into the portal.
The Frost Giants could only watch helplessly and angrily, they roared in frustration as the strongest of them struck the snow with his Axe angrily.
In the end, what could they do? Nothing.
