Chapter 120 - (3) (1/2)

Theoric still glowing with his orange skin shield, closely watched the ground with his sword held firmly in his hands,- ”Been a long time since I've used you in battle, let's hope his scales aren't as strong as Uru metal.” he said with a smirk, recalling the time he fought Ulik.

The ground shook violently, right before the creature's green hand came bursting out, trying to stab him with its claws.

Theoric dodging right with a quick timed jumped, landed about where he predicted the head would be, Firmly planting both feet on the ground, he spun his sword point down and pierced the ground, easily piercing through the soft terrain and straight into the eye of the hidden beast who let out a monstrous wail as the ground shifted from its throes.

And then everything went silently still.

Theoric who retreated some distance back after successfully striking the creature had no intention of letting it live. Sigyn was right, the Acanti soul did seem to have affected him somewhat, but this time the creature went too far. There was no way he was going to allow it to live after causing Sigyn so much distress.

Gripping his now bloody sword, he waited for it to make a move.

Minutes later the ground erupted, showing the giant 60-foot tall angry beast with a now noticeable bloody left eye socket. looking around with its one good right eye, its pupil dilating upon seeing it's most hated foe.

This was the first time Theoric could appreciate how truly big it was, the sheer size of it, casting a visibly large shadow over the land as it glared menacingly at him.

And it was furious, after just experiencing the painful screams from the Siren, leaving it all but deaf, now on top of it, it lost an eye.

Giganto angrily roared at him, fully enraged as it shoved its claws into the ground heaving a couple of boulder-sized pieces at him before feverishly rushing over.

Theoric unperturbed by its size rushed forward to meet its charge, ducking past one boulder while forming a pointed barrier in front to take care of the second, splitting most of the impact away as it slammed into his barrier.

Next came the creature swinging its claw just behind the now debris-filled air, easily destroying the pointed barrier. Sword ready, Theoric continued to move forward under the debris, using it as cover as he closed in on the creature's legs, passing the incoming strike that broke the ground behind him.

He swung hard at the creature's right leg intending to make it that much harder for it to fight back. Slamming the blade against its ankle, the only thing he could reach easily, but he only managed to break a few scales.

Now aware of where he was, Giganto lifted his foot and tried stomping him.
