Game Over Not Over for Me novel Chapter 88

#### Chapter 88: Defeating the Ice Giants!

The colossal Ice Giant loomed before Alden, its presence almost suffocating. With a staggering 85 million Health Points, it was a behemoth capable of obliterating the hopes of any player foolish enough to challenge it. The creature boasted an attack power exceeding 30,000, a figure that sent shivers down the spine of even the most seasoned warriors.

“+20 Free Coins,” flashed on the screen, a small consolation prize for what lay ahead.

Only players like Everlasting Turtler, who had meticulously stacked their armor and magic resistance to unimaginable levels, or someone like Alden—whose high HP and devastating damage output made him a force to be reckoned with—stood a chance against this icy monstrosity. For the average player, defeating this Ice Giant was akin to climbing a mountain without any gear.

The giant unleashed its first attack, a thunderous roar that echoed through the battlefield, sending shockwaves that struck Alden directly. He felt the impact reverberate through his body as his health began to dwindle.

“-25803”

“-25799”

The damage from that two-hit soundwave attack was significant, but Alden remained unfazed. It was merely a drizzle compared to the torrential storm of destruction he could unleash with a single basic attack.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!” The air around him crackled as arrows flew forth, each one finding its mark and delivering devastating blows. Without the interference of the god aura, Alden was firing at an astonishing rate of twelve shots per second.

That translated to over 1.1 million damage every second. Even accounting for the Ice Giant’s impressive healing rate of 100,000 HP per second, Alden was still inflicting more than a million net damage. At this relentless pace, he could wipe out 60 million HP in a mere minute.

“This Ice Giant won’t last two minutes,” he thought, a smirk creeping onto his face.

But as it turned out, the Ice Giant didn’t even survive for a full minute before crumbling to the ground. As the creature fell, the Cycle of Death effect, which had eluded him in all his previous hard-fought battles, finally activated.

“1/4”

“18:06 Tue, Dec 16 M K 51”

“Chapter 88: Defeating the Ice Giants!”

“+20 Free Coins”

Alden chuckled to himself. A one-percent trigger chance didn’t mean that one arrow out of every hundred was guaranteed to trigger; it was a fickle mistress. There could be 100,000 arrows fired without a single trigger occurring. Each arrow operated on its own probability, and that probability was dismally low.

Yet, none of that mattered now. What was crucial was waiting for the next Ice Giant to respawn. If his calculations were accurate, it would take about 30 minutes.

This decision came swiftly, and before long, the second Ice Giant made its appearance. Alden approached the battle with a casual demeanor, deliberately holding back his full strength.

There was no other option; unleashing his full power would bring about the giant’s swift demise.

“120 Fren Coins,” he noted, calculating the benefits.

He needed to prolong the fight to capitalize on the thirty-minute respawn cycle and continue stacking HP. Each defeated giant granted him just over 8,000 HP. By removing the Goddess of Life’s Tears, he lowered his max HP, allowing each kill to yield over 10,000 HP instead.

From that point on, the battles became almost leisurely. One giant after another fell before him. With his immunity to ice damage and the lifesteal from the Bloodthirst Necklace, Alden brushed aside their attacks as if they were nothing.

The remaining giants failed to trigger the Cycle of Death, allowing him to stack just over 10,000 HP with each kill. When two giants spawned simultaneously, the outcome remained unchanged—he toyed with them, dispatching them with ease.

With his mind power fully restored, the Double Arrow Shot came effortlessly, netting him over 20,000 HP from each pair of giants. Although the amount of HP he could stack gradually diminished as his damage output increased, it hardly affected Alden’s performance. Even toward the end, he was still able to stack more than 19,000 HP.

When the final two giants succumbed to his onslaught, his total HP gain from the Ice Giants soared to an impressive 240,000. This was due to the fact that the last two Ice Giants had fallen in an instant under his relentless assault.

With Fatty’s talent bonus factored in, his HP climbed to over 260,000. Thanks to the Tear’s percentage boost, Alden’s health now stood at a staggering 3.5 million. At this juncture, aside from bosses lurking in hidden realms or those formidable foes encountered in Hell Difficulty, no Level-20 player could hope to rival the sheer magnitude of his health bar.
