Kwoooooong!!
A massive explosion of light.
At the same time, Deckers’s fist, which had been gripping Su-ho, was blown away and lost its shape, and the recoil forced Deckers’s entire body several steps backward.
The light subsided, and only then was Su-ho’s form revealed.
Su-ho did not look like the form everyone had grown accustomed to seeing.
A dragon.
More precisely, he had the form of a half-dragon, half-human being.
His two legs, two arms, various parts of his body, and even part of his face were covered in scales. His once-short tail had grown thick and long, while his wings had become enormous like curtains.
He did not flap his wings.
But even so, floating in the air as though fixed in place looked entirely natural.
[ Giant Slaughterer Deckers uses Immortal Devourer. ]
[ Giant Slaughterer Deckers fully recovers. ]
Deckers used recovery.
The hand that had been blown apart was restored to its original state.
However, the relaxed smile he had shown until now had disappeared without a trace.
Deckers, whose entire body was composed of things meant to kill giants, instinctively sensed it.
The being before him was no longer a giant over whom he could reign as a natural enemy.
The corners of Su-ho’s mouth rose.
Su-ho felt it as well.
The change in Deckers’s emotions.
Su-ho spoke.
“You suddenly got quiet.”
It was a voice soft enough that only someone beside him should have been able to hear.
But because it was transmitted through mana, Deckers heard it clearly.
- You use a disgusting trick.
“I told you. Then wouldn’t it be enough to stop being a giant? I merely showed you what I said.”
- How disappointing. You entered Apophis to become the Giant King, yet you abandoned being a giant merely to defeat me.
“Abandoned? I only put it aside for a while. Don’t you know what flexibility is?”
- I no longer wish to exchange words with you. I am ashamed that I even briefly considered someone like you a candidate for Giant King.
As he said that, Deckers raised Dandurte.
His white body began to glow, and the unknown red lines engraved across his body also emitted light.
Whooooooosh!
The enormous Dandurte cut through the wind and fell toward Su-ho.
Its size was tremendous.
It looked as though a building were falling.
Su-ho spoke quietly.
“Move.”
At that moment.
Kwoooong!!
A single word.
With that single word, Dandurte, which had been falling in a straight line, was sent flying far away as though someone had slammed into it from the side.
“......!”
Deckers’s eyes widened.
It was one thing for Dandurte to be sent flying away, but he had never expected it to be torn from his grasp as well.
He had definitely been gripping it tightly.
No, before that, how had Su-ho done it?
It was Dragon Speech.
In Dragon Mode, Su-ho had become half-human and half-dragon, causing the power of the dragon within his body to become stronger than any other bloodline. As a result, the dragon authorities he had already been using improved noticeably.
Dragon Speech was one of them.
A curved smile formed on Su-ho’s lips.
That smile entered Deckers’s eyes.
It was chilling.
The thought that he might lose began to bloom in his mind.
Then Su-ho’s small lips moved once more.
“Bow.”
Kwoooooong!!
An enormous pressure.
An invisible, formless force violently pressed down on Deckers.
It felt as though gravity had increased dozens of times.
There was only one reason.
Su-ho had ordered Deckers to bow.
But Deckers, the worst Giant Slaughterer in history, endured.
Was it simply because Deckers was strong?
That was not the only reason.
He had merely avoided complete submission because the power reacted to the giant blood still remaining in Su-ho’s body.
Even so, Deckers was undoubtedly a powerful being.
Most of the Giant Hunters had already been crushed flat against the ground.
The sight was reminiscent of Atlas supporting the heavens.
“I should have used Dragon Mode from the beginning.”
Habits truly were frightening.
Had he known it would be this easy, he would not have gone through all that trouble.
At that moment.
- Ghhhhhh!
Deckers screamed as though struggling desperately.
At the same time, his body began glowing even more brightly.
[ Giant Slaughterer Deckers’s final restriction is released. ]
At last, the final restriction was released.
Kwoooooong!
A massive explosion.
Thick smoke.
The wind blew it away, revealing Deckers’s new body, now dyed red from head to toe.
It looked like a transforming robot.
Many things had changed.
He now had an eye.
The two empty sockets where his eyes had been had merged into one, transforming into the shape of a massive single eye.
The tentacle-like hair also shone softly with white light.
The lines drawn across his body were no longer visible.
It seemed as though they had expanded and become his red body.
Deckers, now completely released, spoke in a relatively calm tone.
- ......To think even the final restriction would be released.
The restrictions that had been released until now had not been undone by Deckers himself.
Once the challenger’s strength passed a certain threshold, they were automatically released from outside.
That was why Deckers was surprised as well.
He had never imagined there would be someone capable of releasing even his final restriction.
However, Su-ho still looked indifferent.
“So, is anything different now?”
- It is. Very.
“Is that so? Then shall we check?”
- As much as you like.
“Bow.”
He once again ordered the arrogant bastard to submit.
