Chapter 910: Chapter 910
"It seems that these giants are preparing to charge again,"
"It must be a test by the giants. As long as we appear weak, they will pounce on us crazily. If too many of our people die, they will definitely find out that there are only two fifth-tier among us and then..."
No need to say more, once the giants discover that their upper class strength is weak, it would be time for a full-scale attack by the giants.
The giants have always estimated based on their own situation. The stronger the lower-tier giants under their command, the more the upper-tier giants there would be. Though they did not know what creatures stood before them,
the humans in front of them looked the same in form, only differing in height. Yet even though these humans looked like their juveniles, they too possessed super strength and various special methods.
"So we must hit them hard this time. Let the giants know we’re no easy target,"
Li Mengyao nodded gently, "Right, that’s exactly it. In fact, it’s the same with other academies. As long as the low-tier can repel the giants, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly. The Sun Giants who are the fewest in number also probe the least." There was no helping it; the Sun Giants were simply the fewest in number.
"The student council has called me over, I can’t stay with you," Li Mengyao said softly, before summoning her Wind King Griffin and quickly flying towards the student council’s gathering spot.
Du You rolled his eyes, "I wasn’t asking you to stay with me anyway." Li Mengyao’s gentleness was enjoyable to Du You, but he didn’t want to get caught up in it. He hoped this mission would end soon so he could leave and strengthen himself.
"It would be much easier if Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi were here. My burden would be much lighter."
Du You missed the two sisters a bit. With them around, not only could they help reduce his pressure, but they could also soothe his mood, a truly multifaceted benefit. Unfortunately, both were busy with their own affairs now.
Du You quickly arrived at the frontline. By then, the giants had already approached. Unlike the messy charge at first, this time the giants were moving in a neat step, forming a square formation and advancing slowly.
"Didn’t expect giants to use a battle formation too. Wonder if they have military tactics as well,"
"Forget about it. The giant’s strategies are like those we learn. The people from War God Academy used formations a lot, and it ended up being learned by the giants. Now, even the Flame Giants have learned it. It seems they really feel the pressure,"
The members of the student council didn’t know whether to feel proud or depressed. With the giants in orderly formations, even if the formation practice was poor, it still enhanced the overall combat ability of the giants.
Li Mengyao was talking to Xi Qianxue nearby, both weak in power, unable to stand on the front lines. So even if Li Mengyao wanted to talk to Du You, it was futile, given that both were only third-tier.
"Try using your ultimate move; it should be effective against such an orderly arrangement,"
Du You nodded. Under the watchful eyes of academy leaders and others, he first summoned his Dark Elf, then cast Dark Spirit Light. Next, Du You unleashed Destruction Flames towards the sky.
"Here it comes, this move, a fourth-tier Super Tier Skill," people around him gasped.
"Is this really considered a Super Tier Skill? It’s clearly enhanced by other auxiliary skills,"
"Stop talking nonsense. If Director Wang says it’s a Super Tier, then it must be. One of those auxiliary skills is used for recovering magic power, and although the other enhances the power of skills, even without it, this skill is still a Super Tier,"
As the people around him discussed, a magic array unfolded in the air, and a multitude of fireballs began to form. Since the skill had already been revealed, he might as well make it more clear to them. This could decrease his troubles and enhance his reputation.
However, as Du You concentrated, the opposing giants seemed utterly indifferent, as if they hadn’t seen the fireballs in the sky at all. Only a few fourth-tier giants raised their hands high, doing something unknown.
Twenty seconds into directing the fireballs, Director Wang suddenly said, "Give up on this skill, the giants are likely prepared. It won’t deliver much effect; don’t waste your magic power,"
Upon hearing this, Du You released the fireballs downward without a second thought, cutting his magic power consumption in half. He said nothing, merely observing the scene in front of him.
As the fireballs descended, a fiery red cloud appeared above the giant’s formation. The cloud spun rapidly, growing larger, and before the fireballs even hit the ground, it had enveloped the area above the giants.
Next, the fireballs fell into the cloud silently, as if raindrops disappearing into the ocean. Only the rollicking fire cloud could be seen, turning black, then regaining its color. Throughout the rollicking process, it perfectly caught all the fireballs, none hitting the middle of the giant’s formation, rendering his skill ineffective.
"No, it isn’t useless, look, those giants seem quite depleted," finally, someone noticed something was amiss. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
Li Daxian nodded gravely, "The reason must be those badges on their chests. They gather all the giants’ power to counter the Destruction Flames. This must be the work of a fifth-tier Flame Giant,"
Director Wang also spoke, "Indeed, we underestimated the giants to have a trick . While Du You’s magic power is strong and his skills robust, against tens of thousands of Flame Giants, it doesn’t amount to much. Even if the Flame Giants deplete their internal power, their sheer size allows them to exert formidable destructive force,"
Du You realized that he was engaging in a magic power drain with the army of giants. Even if the opponents consumed more proportionally, their sheer numbers made it unlikely for him to have an effect.
Du You knew that not all enemies would figure out how to counter his fireballs. But inevitably, some would. So even with the Destruction Flames, he couldn’t be invincible on the battlefield.
Indeed, a diverse set of skills was necessary to avoid being countered.
"Haha, look, look, it turns out it wasn’t so effective, yet he was so arrogant,"
"Exactly, now that this skill is useless, he’s just like us on the battlefield," many began to revel in schadenfreude, as Du You’s demeanor hardly won him any advocates.
Director Wang turned and glared at those who were loudly mocking, who promptly closed their mouths.
"Hmph, even if it didn’t have a practical effect, it still weakened the giants’ power, much more useful than any of you," Director Wang’s blunt words made those who had spoken jeer look somewhat embarrassed.
