Drawing Cards in the Middle Ages to Rise in Ranks-Chapter 567 - 342: The Might of the Giant

Silence.

Immediately followed by an uproar.

People looked at the scene in disbelief.

The announcer's mouth hung open, eyes almost popping out.

Everyone originally thought this would be a fierce battle between equals, a clash of titans. No one expected that in just one encounter, the Dragon Rider's dragon would be slammed to the ground without any chance to fight back.

"Is this guy really that strong?"

Losa couldn't help but click his tongue.

Don't be fooled by the "dragon-like beast." The mount of this Knight Benito is undoubtedly much stronger than any ordinary dragon beast with true dragon blood, far beyond the fierce dragon Losa had once dealt with.

A flicker of worry passed through Lavinia's eyes: "If he goes berserk, it'll be trouble."

In the large arena, accommodating no less than thirty thousand people, if chaos breaks out, even if the giant doesn't directly massacre humans, the stampede alone might cause hundreds if not thousands of casualties.

Roar——

The dragon beast that was slammed to the ground shook its dizzy head, regained its senses, and upon seeing the giant standing in front of it, a fierce light flickered in its golden eyes. It stretched out its serrated jaws like a venomous snake, biting at the giant's waist in a flash.

But its speed was fast, and the giant's speed was even faster!

A loud bang echoed.

The fist, surrounded by a dim yellow divine glow, crashed down like a meteor from the heavens, hitting the neck of the fallen dragon beast.

A crisp cracking of bones was heard.

The dragon beast, which had been trying to lift its ferocious head, immediately seemed to lose power, collapsing like a power cut off.

"I am Mars, not some 'Antaeus'. "

Amidst the crowd's panicked and puzzled gazes, a hoarse, low growl came from beneath the giant's metal helmet.

"Humans, I do not understand. Clearly full of greed, arrogance, and jealousy, why do you dare to call me an evil giant with such righteousness?"

"I have never harmed a human. My kind resides in seclusion deep in the mountains, not fond of eating humans, nor of burning, nor of igniting the World Tree to destroy the world—I do not understand why you hate me so much, going so far as to eagerly watch this man wield sharp spears and swords to sever my head?"

The anger and confusion in his words were palpable, yet no one cared about his emotions. The audience was merely wondering if the scene before them was prearranged by a circus, and whether they should flee or not.

Benito, at this moment, gathered his wits and came in front of the giant.

Under his Centurion's Transverse Helmet, his eyes were full of dread and shock. Though the dragon lizard mount was just a gimmick for gaining fame, it was a truly high-class war beast, capturing it had cost a fortune!

Damn it, wasn't this guy too weak to use Earth Divinity anymore?

A last-ditch burst, it must be a last-ditch burst!

If he retreats now, the reputation he painstakingly built will instantly collapse.

Benito gritted his teeth, gripping the long spear tightly with both hands, shouting, "Antaeus! Stop arguing!"

"Even if you killed my loyal partner, I can still take down you, the evil giant, by myself!"

Standing on the ground, Benito, holding a dragon spear, radiated brilliance, his bare chest resembling Michelangelo's classic statue of David, perfectly aligning with all the audience's fantasies of a Dragon Knight.

At this moment, even if the Grand Master of the Hohenzollern Family's Teutonic Order were to personally arrive, the audience would probably still see Benito as more of a Dragon Knight.

Righteousness always stands in the light.

In comparison, the giant, covered in rust spots, as if smeared with foul blood, wearing a single-horned helmet, was a complete villain! Demon! Butcher!

"Hahahaha!"

The giant let out a harsh laugh, his voice rough and unpleasant to the extreme, seemingly because he hadn't spoken for so long: "Yes, I am arguing! Giants are naturally meant to be evil, destined to walk the path of world destruction!"

"But don't forget, the ones who initially hired us giants to fight in your human world were your human emperors!"

He lifted the giant cart he arrived on with a boom, along with the iron cage and chains on it, throwing it at Knight Benito like a small mountain.

Heh, is that all?

Benito's face was full of disdain, his agile and nimble movements, coupled with his sinewy muscles, granted him great explosive power, allowing him to easily dodge the throw.

But the next moment.

Amidst the dust and smoke.

A fist, akin to a high-speed carriage, hammered down.

The air seemed to freeze, yet buzzed with a piercing sonic boom.

As it hit Benito, the explosion roared in his ears like thunder.

The wind-tossed Benito, still in mid-air, was crushed under the giant's foot, the rebound force hurling countless boulders toward Benito and the stands behind him.

The boulders flew, causing the audience in the stands to scream piercingly.

Packed densely, the crowd in the stands had nowhere to escape even if they wanted to flee instantly.

"Decree·Hover!"

Lavinia's eyes turned brilliant gold, an invisible ripple spread before her, and the boulders flying toward the ripple solidified in place in a mere moment.

"He's completely lost his mind now!"

Maintaining the effect of the Decree, Lavinia urgently said, "Losa, help evacuate the crowd, I'll hold him off!"

Losa frowned, "Let me hold him off instead!"

Though Lavinia's strength was undoubtedly not weak, Losa figured she lacked combat experience, and facing a giant who could injure with a graze and kill with a scratch, the danger was too great.

In contrast, he considered himself experienced in dealing with giant beast-type enemies.

"This isn't the time to play hero!"

Lavinia said without hesitation.

The Dragon Knight, perhaps due to underestimation, but even so his strength was nearly at Centurion level, at least much stronger than the female gunner who assassinated Losa, she couldn't see how Losa could handle it.

Yet Losa was much faster than her "desk job," and in almost the blink of an eye, he appeared at the center of the arena.

"Hey, big guy, think it through, if you start a massacre here, how will you walk away alive?"

But Losa was greeted only by a massive fist, cutting through the air with cold pressure.

Anyone who hasn't personally experienced it could never comprehend the terror of a giant's fist, they might even think its movements were slow, like watching a tiger, imagining they could cut it open with a simple slide tackle.

The terrifying gravity made Losa feel as if he was sinking in quicksand, unable to move his feet.

Losa was surprised, no wonder neither the dragon lizard nor its rider could stand a chance; this fist indeed wasn't easy to dodge.

"Losa!"

Lavinia's eyes shone brilliant gold, golden thorns quickly climbing up her arm, she opened her palm, a look of authority on her face: "Decree·Slow!"

The fist falling from the sky paused in its descent.

Losa seized the moment, Bloodfall and Half-Dragon Transformation activated successively.

The dragon blood coursing through his veins pumped through his entire body with the beat of his heart.

The illusory silhouette of a giant dragon, long suppressed, once again surged upward, soaring like a flying dragon in the sky.

Bang!

The giant's fist hit the ground, stones exploded, smoke and dust filled the air, and the Shocking Power of the Earth Divinity, even if hitting a pure-blooded wolf race beast, would have been difficult to avoid.

Lavinia's expression relaxed slightly.

Only to see Losa, who had already appeared on the giant's shoulder, the silver-white cross longsword in hand, beautiful as Michelangelo's classic sculpture of David, embodying every fantasy the audience had about a Dragon Knight.

The bright light standing in the open is always just.

Compared to that, the giant, rusty all over as if covered in filthy blood, wearing a horned helmet, is a complete villain! Demon! Butcher!

"Hahahaha!"

The giant let out a piercing laugh, his voice hoarse to the extreme, as if he hadn't spoken in ages: "Yes, I'm arguing! Giants are born to be evil, destined for a path of world destruction!"

"But don't forget, it was your human Emperor who originally hired us giants to fight in your human world!"
