The atmosphere was covered in blizzard, with the ground splitted apart by the single slash of the frost giant, soaking this plain in absolute chaos, all within it's range was frozen by its frost mana.
He was not excluded.
Frozen in ice, he remained still, his conciousness faded away, unable to move from his spot, the frost giant let's out a groan, a single step it took caused waves to spread, the ground shook vigorously.
Creating intense frost waves.
The red sun of this dimension was blocked by the curtain of darkness, the frost giant appeared right before the frozen human, glaring down from where it stood, it raised it's bizzare axe into the air.
Swinging it down with force.
The impact shattered the ice into pieces, spreading shards of ice across space itself, the impact freed him, causing him to be sent crashing into the ground, a loud groan escaped his lips.
Slowly rising to his feets, he cleaned the dusts on his skin.
" Tch " He growled.
The fierce wind blew heavily, scattering dusts into the air, Riley raised his gaze, staring at the frost giant standing before him, he looked around, staring at the results of the giant decimating attacks.
" This....this....this....this is beyond what I could even imagine "
" How could I destroy something like this? I'm a measly level 16 awakened, how could I possibly defeat something like this? " Riley asked himself, the few minutes of silence between them was interuppted by it.
The frost giant swung down his axe, aiming to slice through him.
Riley blocked the impact by casting a mana field, the mana field was destroyed on impact, the force sent him crashing into the air, he was thrown into a boulder, breaking through the bolder with his back.
His nose bled as a result of the crash.
But the frost giant had no intentions of stopping, the blizzards increased, Riley could feel the cold wind sipping through his wounds, it hurts badly....the frost axe came down with a great force.
Tearing through the ground.
Riley swiftly evaded the axe attack but was once again affected by the ice, the ground was frozen by the power of the frost giant, with his legs trapped by the ice.....he was rendered immobile.
Staring directly into the eyes of the frost giant.
Its cerulean gaze had no life in it, releasing steams into the air, the giant let's out a growl, it's shadows covered the entirety of Riley, it's movements halted, standing before the awakened before it.
It waited for a few seconds before launching it's dire attacks once again.
This time, what was unleashed went beyond, a sky splitting slash, a slash which tore through space itself, directing hitting the flesh of Riley, Riley was thrown into the sky by the pressure.
He spat out bloods from his mouth, his left arm was destroyed by that single slash, he would have been sliced in half if it weren't for his quick thinking, augmenting his body with mana.
A technique he learnt in his former military academy in preparations of awakening his mana, a source to thicken the flesh in response to direct attacks that could easily destroy him.
Riley crashed into the ground, hitting the ground a few times...he laid flat on the ground.
Drowned in his own pool of bloods, both his nose and his lips bled, he took a deep breath, sighing loudly, he struggled to stand.... groaning softly, he moved his lips, he could feel the ground shaking.
Waves of shock followed suit, scattering debris of the impact into the air.
He spat bloods out of his lips, turning his gaze....he faced the frost giant.
" Based on the words of Alpha, this thing may be the weakest of the frost giants, I guess that's why I'm still alive, hell....it may even be the smallest, so if I can't destroy it, I may not level up " He said to himself.
Softly wincing from the intense pains he felt.
He clenched his fists, standing straight while continously bleeding, he could feel his healing factor making its move, healing his body instinctively.
\You have adapted to the impact/
\You have adapted to the frost/
He saw it, the movements of the frost giant which signalled death, it got Infuriated, seeing him still breathing made it mad, lifting it's axe into the air, fueling it's power into the axe, a single swing was made.
A space wrecking slash was made.
Directing the slash against Riley, his eyes widened.... glowing softly, he felt intense cold, his heart raced, he could feel it, just like before.....he saw death, with his instincts begging him to run.
He doesn't need anyone to tell him, if he tanked that attacked, he would be obliterated but he felt his mana building up, a smirk appeared on his lips, with his hands stretched forth, he casted a vast barrier.
Deploying a mana barrier to counter the slash.
But it was worthless, the barrier was destroyed seconds later, with the aerial slash piercing through his flesh, Riley could feel his skin being splitted in half by the attack, his life flashed right before his eyes.
His teeths gritted and the mark on his neck glowed brightly.
The mark glowed bright red, it expanded it's size, spreading vast across his arms, reconstructing his flesh back together and reattaching his body to prevent decapitation, the waves blew him away.
He struggled, hitting his back on a wall.....with his head bleeding by the impact, he felt intense headaches, collasping on his knees.....his eyes twitched, slowly raising his head, he gazed at the frost giant.
It got enraged, seeing Riley still alive.
The frost giant came charging in, this time....it went all out, Riley noticed it, he supersped, evading the next attack of the giant, the entirety of space the attack collided in exploded without hesitation.
The giant swung it's axe against Riley, but he became nimble, evading the slash which could have splitted him in half, a smirk escaped his lips.....he sped, twisting his body, still bleeding from the attack.
His bloods flowed down his arms, with drops of bloods hitting the ground, he raised his right hand forward, his arms were covered in a strange type of tattoo, positioning his hand in a finger gun style.
He fired.
Enhancing his bloods with mana, he fired a blood bullet, piercing through the skull of the frost giant, the impact caused it to stagger back, causing the ground to quake intensely.
" Ha, it worked "
" I thought it was better to give it a try, I don't know what happened but the moment this marks appeared on my body, I gained the knowledge to use it, I don't know what it is but it may be useful " Riley said to himself.
" Blood Convergence! " He declared.
He stabbed his chest, causing his blood to flow freely, manipulating his own blood, he created waves of bloods into the air, covering the space itself with the frost giant trapped in the waves of bloods.
\Hunter's Insight Talent is active/
With this Talent active, although it's limited....he could control blood at a molecular level, his eyes glowed brightly purple, granting him the understanding of an hunter, he directed the blood waves against the frost giant.
The frost giant noticed the movements, it responded with its own attacks, it supersped, covering the distance between them as it launches it's punches against Riley but Rileu calculated the movements.
Using Hunter's Insight to calculate attacks and distances between them, the impact and the force, with a merge of his speed, he deflected the attack, he leapt high, creating a blood giant spear.
It was directed against the frost giant, piercing through its chest.
Riley's eyes squinted and he responded with another attack, he brought out his glocks, he created blood bullets, one enhanced with mana while the other was physical, with its strengths increased.
He dashed into the air, he appeared above the frost giant.
Fired a single bullet against the giant, he used the physical blood bullet, piercing through the skull of the frost giant, the giant roared out loud, it staggered back, bleeding out profusely, it fell on its knees.
Riley made his landing on the ground, causing the ground to shake vigorously.
He fired the enhanced mana blood bullet against the frost giant, killing it the next second, it's corpse laid flat on the ground, Riley sat on the ground.....he tried catching his breath, while he remained sitted on the ground.
\You have defeated a D level frost giant/
\You have leveled up /
\You have leveled up/
\You have leveled up/
\Your stamina, strength, speed and intelligence has all increased/
\You have gained the first insight of a hunter/
Riley could feel his body healing at a rapid rate, a loud sigh escaped his lips....he turned, staring at the corpse of the giant, even though it was only a D level frost giant, it's still strong, intensely strong.
He knew if he never had this adaptation Talent....he would have died.
