372 Chapter 372 Giant Killer
There was a tale of a giant. Hunkering the earth with four arms. Every year or so, he would come with his army, massacring small towns and villages. Eating the men, raping the women, and killing the children.
That was the small tale of The Vicious Ogre that terrified the people in the region.
But now that giant was under a man’s feet.
“No! I am The Vicious Ogre! Men trembled when hearing my name!”
“I fear nothing under the sky,” Aldred declared, raising his Phantom Doomblade under the weakened giant.
“Your time in this world has come to an end. Like I said before, you better consider it an honor to die in my hands.”
Aldred closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Circulating his mana all over his body, he abruptly opened his eyes as it shone with powerful golden light that ran all the way to his arms.
He swung down. “Sky Splitting Strike!”
“NO!!!”
The thick, golden beam of light engulfed Gubra whole. Wrapping around his body like a snake, and then he vanished into dust, blown by the wind.
Four epic items fell onto the ground. Aldred didn’t really like them, but because of their strength and rarity, he decided to absorb them into his sword.
Because his sword could devour other weapons and could even transform into their shapes without reducing any damage or removing any effect at all, his weapon could be said to be the most versatile weapon in the world. It could even turn into a complete set of armor and shield or turned into numerous blades.

Aldred felt his mind had become clearer, and he could now perceive magic and sword techniques from way higher dimensions. And not just sword techniques, but any weapons that existed.
Aldred turned around and saw his wives and the soldiers were also leveling up as their bodies glowed with a bright light.
After the light was gone, the soldiers moved around to feel their new strength.
Aldred nodded. “With this, I am confident that we can defeat low-level Platinum Rank monsters.”
His wives smiled and nodded. The soldiers looked at each other and smiled as well. They were very proud of what they accomplished.
Aldred picked Gubra’s head which was the only thing that survived the attack. It was a big head, at least four times the size of his own head.
The head wore an expression of indignation and unwillingness. As if it couldn’t take that a group of humans defeated it.
Well, technically, Aldred wasn’t a human. And his group did not completely consist of humans anyway. Stella was a star’s child, who wasn’t even close to being a human. Zafrina was a vampire, Kiara was a leonin race, and Rachel was a winged person.
She literally got a pair of wings on her back, and the ogre still said that he was defeated by humans.
Maybe because all of them looked like humans.
Aldred shook his head and did not think about it.
He looked around and saw gold coins everywhere. Apparently, the giants had amassed quite an amount of wealth. But they were nothing in Aldred’s eyes. Gold Coins were worthless now. Only mana crystals and valuable treasures would be worthy for him.
One thing caught his eyes. It was a skill book.
[Skill Book: Towering Charge]
Vicious charge toward the target with increased speed and weight. When hit, the enemy might be stunned for a few seconds.
Aldred did not need it though, but it might be useful to learn for his soldiers. He decided to keep it for now.
Looking to the side, Aldred saw the adventurers were waiting to make a move toward the treasures. They knew that Aldred did not even consider these trash as valuables, but another man’s trash was another man’s wealth.
“I will be taking it all,” Aldred said before taking all the items inside his divine dimension.
The adventurers groaned in disappointment.
The viking threw rocks at Aldred and then laughed.
Aldred frowned. “You guys have been bothering me. Do you want to fight?”
The viking did not answer and simply laughed again.
“I am not known as a patient man. The more you fuck around, the sooner you’ll find out.”
Aldred turned around and continued his walk.
Baendjbi looked at the vikings for a few seconds before he followed Aldred. He was staring at the Phantom Doomblade that was hanging on Aldred’s back.
“I still cannot keep my eyes away from it,” he said to himself with a feeling of desire. “Where can I find a sword like that?”
As Aldred climbed the mountains, he chatted with his wives and the others about the fight earlier.
“You guys are awesome,” Aldred said.
“It’s all because of you, Aldred,” his wives said before they hugged and kissed him.
“I am very satisfied with our teamwork,” Aldred said after kissing and hugging his wives.
The soldiers cheered and high-fived each other.
“Well, after what happened, I think we can defeat something stronger,” Bartrem added.
Joseph raised his fist. “I agree with that. With our power now, only a Diamond Rank can defeat us.”
Aldred laughed. “Let’s not get too far with ourselves. A Diamond Rank can wipe us out with a mere glance. But, we are here to become stronger, so there will surely be a day when we can kill Diamond Ranks.”
“Yeah!”
“Now, let us climb this mountain and see where it will take us.”
All the adventurers including Aldred climbed the mountain peacefully. Well, except for fighting with monsters, avoiding landslides, and fighting against harsh wind, it was quite peaceful.
Above them, however, the Ranehawkes were piling up boulder after boulder on a giant nest. One of them cried as it took a peek down, making sure their targets were in place.
