A day passed quickly.

Before the giants even realized the existence of the magical vines, a hunting campaign that terrified them appeared on the continent of Gantova.

Some giants who were hunting and venturing out on this continent were suddenly subjected to a deadly attack without their knowledge.

Arrows falling from the sky would suddenly strike their bodies, sometimes in the legs, sometimes in the back, and sometimes pierce their throats.

Their enemy was a human capable of flying in the sky.

Yes, humans.

It has been almost a thousand years, and now humans have appeared on the continent of Gantowa, in their territory.

The two guys that appeared, instead of showing fear and running away when faced with the giants, launched an attack first, which greatly angered the giants, who felt insulted.

However, their arrows were far too powerful and accurate. The arrows, forged from steel, possessed immense power, completely different from the archers they had encountered on the ground hundreds of years ago. They easily pierced their muscles and impaired their mobility.

The human archer showed no mercy; when faced with a lone giant, he would often hit the giant's vitals with a single arrow, killing the giant instantly.

However, when facing multiple Titans, this human will wound them without killing them. Often, the first arrow will hit the Titan's leg, rendering him unable to move and slowing down the movement of other Titans who want to come to the rescue.

Then, he would begin to torture all the Titans one arrow at a time, making them only able to utter curses of pain and anger, until only one battered Titan remained. Then, he would release the Titan, allowing him to escape and spread the fear to the other Titans.

It wasn't that the giants didn't resist, but the human controlled a flying device that soared hundreds of meters into the sky with exceptional agility. The things they threw simply couldn't hit him. Even if they occasionally managed to throw an object near him by chance, the object would be knocked away by a tremendous force, posing no obstacle whatsoever to the human.

On the contrary, giants who dare to resist are often the human's priority target and are killed first. The one who manages to escape is usually the most timid and cowardly.

In just one day, nearly thirty giants died from that man's arrows. In addition, six or seven wounded giants were released to go back and report the news.

The most terrifying thing is that even the corpses of the giants that were killed would disappear quickly and mysteriously, without any dragging marks, as if they had been eaten, leaving only a bloodstain on the ground, which made the giants who later discovered clues and came to investigate even more terrified.

The next day, Wayne, with Princess Elizabeth, searched the sky for a long time. He even asked some birds that could fly to act as his lookouts and help him search, but they still couldn't find any trace of the giants.

This led Wayne to speculate that it was likely the enormous bell that rang out from the center of the continent yesterday that summoned all the giants there.

Only when someone gathers them together can there be no lone giants on the entire continent.

However, he didn't care about this. It was good that way. Only by spreading the fear of killing to more of the other giants could his conquest proceed more smoothly.

Wayne felt no pity for the giants who were killed. They were all man-eating monsters, and it was only natural for killers to be killed by humans.

The morning sun shone on the campfire Wayne had lit, and a pot of steaming meat soup he had cooked was emitting a rich aroma.

Princess Elizabeth emerged from her magical tent, her gaze naturally falling on Wayne.

The girl sniffed, immediately drawn by the rich aroma emanating from the pot over the campfire. Although it was just a simple mushroom, vegetable, and meat soup with some baked bread, the fragrance it emitted was even more enticing to the princess than the elaborate feast prepared by the royal chefs.

"Mr. Wayne, thank you for your hard work last night."

Princess Elizabeth gave Wayne a ladylike bow and a slightly ingratiating smile. After spending the entire day hunting giants alongside this powerful warrior, Wayne's strength had been deeply imprinted in the princess's heart.

As a demon hunter who could defeat humans at a lower level, he was the most powerful human the princess had ever seen. No warrior could compare to him. The princess even thought that if Wayne wanted to, he could even take down a kingdom by himself.

Even when facing those ugly and terrifying giants, Princess Elizabeth no longer felt fear. They were all living beings, just taller and stronger. If they were hit in a vital spot, they would die. They were not invincible.

Wayne nodded to the princess, ladled a bowl of broth from the pot and handed it to her, while also ladling a large bowl for himself. The two then ate the fragrant toast, drank the broth, and chatted idly.

Elizabeth was clearly very interested in Wayne. Ever since the two flew together yesterday, she had been cautiously asking all sorts of questions. The princess had the same adventurous spirit as a boy and was very curious about anything new.

A powerful and mysterious man like Wayne held an unimaginable attraction for the princess who had been confined to the palace.

However, the two remained completely innocent, and nothing particularly pleasant happened between them.

In the first half of last night, he took out Gwent and taught the princess how to play for a long time, gaining some experience. Then, in the second half of the night, in order to prevent a surprise attack, someone had to keep watch in this unfamiliar place.

Wayne guarded the magic tent all night without encountering any enemy attacks. It could only be said that the giants were too cautious or too scared, causing the traps he set to go to waste.

After the two finished eating, Wayne packed away the magic tent and luggage, piloted the magic flying carpet, and reached out his hand to Princess Elizabeth, saying:

"Let's go, Your Highness. We're heading to the giants' lair now. I want to see what these giants are capable of."

Elizabeth was surprised to hear this. She thought that the two of them were already facing enough danger by hunting these giants on the outskirts, but she didn't expect Wayne to go to the giants' lair and deal with so many giants. She couldn't help but ask with some worry and curiosity:

"Mr. Wayne, isn't this very dangerous?"

"We can go back to the ground and cut off this magic vine; there's no need to venture into the giant's lair."

Wayne didn't press Princess Elizabeth's idea, but after considering it for a few seconds, he said:

"Alright then, Princess Elizabeth, if you don't want to come with me, I can send you back to the magic vines."

"The rescue team your father sent should have arrived by now. You can go back to the ground with them."

However, perhaps it was her innate adventurous spirit at work, or something else, but faced with Wayne's suggestion, the princess no longer worried about the potential dangers. Instead, she reached out and took Wayne's hand, boarded the magic carpet, and skillfully wrapped her arms around his waist, saying somewhat stubbornly:

"I don't want to go back now. I'll go with you to the giants' lair, Mr. Wayne."

Wayne, of course, did not refuse the princess's choice. He quickly piloted the magic carpet, taking the princess to the place where the bells had rung yesterday, which was probably the giants' lair.

After flying for about twenty minutes, they arrived at a canyon in the center of the Gantowa continent. This floating continent is not actually very large; it would take less than an hour to traverse the entire continent using the magic flying carpet.

However, such an area is not small. Compared to some small countries on Earth, it is perhaps much larger, and even in the ocean, it is already considered a large island.

Once the two flew to the top of the canyon, a rather terrifying castle, shaped like a skull, appeared at the junction between the cliffs.

Wayne, who had seen the movie, knew that it was the giants' lair.

What struck him as odd was the complete silence of the giants' lair, with no patrols outside the castle. It was as if all the giants had been gathered inside, leaving the castle completely unguarded—a highly unusual situation.

But so what? Lord Wayne didn't come here to resolve the issue peacefully. No matter how the other side reacts, a fierce battle is still inevitable.

Such thoughts flashed through his mind. Wayne flew to a high place, and under Princess Elizabeth's curious gaze, he took out a large pile of potions, a total of six kinds, all of which were various witcher potions to enhance physical functions.

Then, as if he were drinking heartily, he poured bottle after bottle of these strong-smelling alcoholic beverages into his mouth.

Not long after, Princess Elizabeth gasped softly, looking at Wayne's face with some fear, and asked:

"Mr. Wayne, your face has become so pale, and there are dark blood vessels in your eyes. The color of your eyes has also changed. What happened?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne met the princess's gaze with his now completely dark eyes and said calmly:

"These are wizard's magical potions that can make me stronger."

In truth, he felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings of emotion and reflection). In just three years, his mutated organs were now able to drink six bottles of medicine at the same time, receiving enhancements in six different directions.

It's likely that in a few more years, once his mutation skills reach a certain level, he will be able to drink all the Witcher Potions at once, thus gaining a comprehensive enhancement.

After that, when the Witcher's potions can no longer enhance him, perhaps he will need to develop even more powerful potions specifically for himself.

Faced with Wayne's answer, although Princess Elizabeth didn't understand what it meant, she obediently nodded and then asked:

"What are your plans next, Mr. Wayne? Are we going to infiltrate the giants' lair and sabotage it from within?"

Wayne glanced at her indifferently and said in a flat tone:

"No need to infiltrate, we'll just attack head-on and beat them until they beg for mercy on their knees."

After saying that, he took the astonished princess and flew towards the location of the giant's lair.

This time, Wayne didn't choose to use a bow and arrow. Instead, he took out various alchemical bombs specially made by the Witcher from his spatial bracelet, preparing to transform into a bomber and let these unsophisticated giants see what human technology was all about.

Soon, Wayne piloted the magic flying carpet and flew into the eye socket of the giant's skull castle. However, the scene that came into view made him raise an eyebrow.

Inside the entire Skull Fortress hall, hundreds of giants were kneeling in dense rows.

In the very spot where these giants were kneeling, a human nobleman, wearing a crown and looking smug, stood on a huge wooden throne, enjoying the worship of the giants below.

Beside this human nobleman, a giant with two heads, a somewhat cunning appearance, and a tall stature was kneeling and speaking.

Suddenly, Princess Elizabeth, standing behind Wayne, gasped in surprise, pointing to several wooden cages beside the throne and several half-eaten, gruesome corpses on the ground, saying:

"It's Captain Emont and his men, members of the Royal Guard, Mr. Wayne, they've been captured by the giants."

"Standing on the throne is Roderick, and he's wearing a magical crown. Does he control the giants?"

Princess Elizabeth's voice wasn't loud enough for the giants to hear, but both Emont and Roderick, whose gaze was fixed on them, noticed the two of them.

Upon seeing this, Aimont immediately shouted:

"Master Wayne, please take the princess away and tell His Majesty the King that Roderick has betrayed us. He wants to lead the giants to conquer the kingdom and he wants to rule Abirian."

Upon hearing Aimont's shout, Roderick remained completely unfazed. Instead, he laughed wildly and triumphantly shouted back:

"You underestimate me, Emont. With this army of giants, how can the tiny kingdom of Abrian satisfy my ambition? I will rule this continent, I will rule this world! Hahaha!"

After a few wild laughs, Roderick suddenly pointed at Wayne and Elizabeth flying in the sky and shouted to the giants kneeling below:

"Grab those two people, dead or alive."

Wayne, standing on the magic carpet, glanced at Roderick expressionlessly after hearing his shout. He didn't even bother to speak to such an overconfident supporting character.

Blink ability activated!

His figure vanished from the magic carpet in an instant and appeared behind Roderick.

Before anyone could react, the Startick Blade hanging at his waist was already drawn, and he grabbed Roderick's hair with one hand, severing his head with the sharp blade.

Once Wayne sheathed his sword and faced the gazes of the giants and humans present, the chaotic magic in his hand rapidly condensed.

When the ugly giant, kneeling at the throne, wearing iron armor, with two heads, and seemingly resembling a general of the giant race, was about to speak,

He unleashed the Igni Flame, imbued with immense magical power, with a single palm strike. The eerie blue flames leaped over ten meters, instantly engulfing the giant general's entire body.

With the power of his bloodline and the strength of his magic, the temperature of the flame reached thousands of degrees, extinguishing the words the giant general was about to utter before they could even begin, causing him to let out an extremely mournful howl.

However, Wayne's Igni Sign at this moment was no longer just about burning. Before the giant general was completely dead, the flames of the Igni Sign suddenly contracted and then exploded from the giant general's chest, blasting his flesh and blood body into pieces. Only his red-hot iron armor remained, which crashed to the ground with a bang. A two-headed giant general who had led the giant race for countless years had been turned into a sky full of minced meat and died in the hall.

For a moment, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone was stunned by Wayne's ruthlessness and power. The giants here had all heard about the hunt for giants, but they had not expected that this human who could fly in the sky was even more powerful than his companions had described. Not only was his archery superb and he could appear and disappear unpredictably, but he could also use powerful magic and kill a giant with ease. It was simply astonishing.

At this moment, the five-second flash interval had ended, and Wayne shook his head inwardly. These giants were indeed more for show than for practical use.

Although they are tall and have an overwhelming advantage over ordinary humans, their bodies are too fragile to compare with the Cyclopes of the Wizarding World.

If this were set in the Wizarding World, Wayne's flames would probably cause serious damage to the Cyclopes, but they wouldn't be able to kill them instantly. Cyclopes also possess chaotic magic within them, which can effectively resist magical damage.

The giants before us, however, are perhaps not even as strong as elephants; they are merely slightly stronger humanoid beings.

With this thought in mind, while everyone in the hall hesitated about how to speak, Wayne's figure vanished instantly and returned to the magic carpet.

Facing hundreds of gazes looking up from below, Wayne reached out and grabbed the magical crown from Roderick's head, tossed his head to the ground, and then, holding the crown aloft, addressed all the giants:

"My name is Wayne, and I am your future master."

"Although this crown can control the actions of all your people, it cannot change your thoughts."

"Therefore, before you pledge your allegiance to me, I will give you a chance to change your destiny."

"Any of you may challenge me, whether it's one giant or ten giants."

"I give you a chance to challenge me. The giant who can defeat me will obtain this crown and become the king of the giant race."

"And the only fate of the losers is death."

"However, after this challenge ends, if anyone dares to disobey my orders or harbors disloyalty, your entire giant race will be wiped out by me, becoming a thing of the past, and will disappear from this world forever."

"Now, all of you, go to the ground above the canyon and wait to consider your choices."

"Go, this is your only chance."

After he finished speaking, the magical crown on Wayne's hand emitted a burst of light, transmitting his command to the minds of all the giants.

Whether these giants did so voluntarily or not, they immediately began to move towards the ground above the canyon, just like a tide, as Wayne had instructed.

Soon, only a few surviving humans and corpses remained in the hall.

After all the giants had left, Wayne landed on the ground with Princess Elizabeth. He didn't negotiate with the other humans, but simply left everything to Princess Elizabeth to handle, while he himself controlled the magic flying carpet and flew towards the giants' warehouse.

Although he hasn't completely subdued these giants yet, he has now obtained the Magic Crown, and the gold and jewels in the warehouse are now his property.

He wanted to check on these beloved little coins, pay off the loan he owed the Goddess of Wealth, and remember that if you borrow and repay, it's easy to borrow again. As Vivian once said, the cross-dimensional wealth bank sets loan limits for each user based on their own strength and financial resources.

If Wayne's financial resources and strength increase, his loan amount will also increase accordingly.

Over the past year, due to his growing strength, his loan amount has increased from 100,000 orens to 150,000 orens.

Although he doesn't like living on loans, this wealth is a powerful force when needed.
