Chapter 002: The Nemesis

“Big brother, you’re so biased,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“You have your own ultimate protection—do you still care about this?” Moses replied with a laugh.
“Let’s charge!” Lei Biao shouted loudly, leaping forward and shooting an arrow straight at the head of a mountain giant.
At Lei Biao’s shout, Du Fan also raised Frost Snow and headed toward another mountain giant.
Seeing someone attacking them, the mountain giants immediately raised their fists.
Their defensive capabilities were extremely strong. Du Fan swung Frost Snow, his divine weapon, at one of the giants’ fists, but it failed to cause any damage at all!
The defensive strength of those fists was comparable to that of a divine weapon!
However, after feeling the force transmitted from the giant’s fist, Du Fan was surprised to find that its strength had diminished significantly.
Indeed, in terms of power, the giant could no longer knock Du Fan away with a single punch. Frost Snow made light contact with the giant’s fist, and with a graceful twist, Du Fan ended up behind the giant. As he fell behind it, he didn’t forget to deliver a powerful slash on the giant’s back.
With that slash, the giant suddenly let out a fierce roar. Only after Du Fan stabilized himself did he realize that a wound had been carved on the giant’s back!
The giant’s special blood began to flow slowly from the wound.
“Du Fan, surprised? I forgot to mention—within my intimidation field, not only is the attack power reduced by 60%, but the defense power is also reduced by 60%!” Lei Biao said with a smile, pulling back the arrow that had been blocked by the giant.
On the city walls, Naixiu, dressed in a light green robe and holding the Eternal Bow, watched the battle below quietly. The mountain wind blew, causing her robe to flutter like that of a fairy!
The mountain giant struck by Du Fan began to roar frantically. Its skin was very similar to stone, and thus tightly connected to its nervous system. Although it usually had strong defenses, once such skin was torn, the excruciating pain was beyond what ordinary people could bear.
With its skin torn by a single slash, the giant seemed to go mad, swinging its massive fists at Du Fan.
Even at 60% of its normal strength, the giant was still incredibly formidable!

Watching the mountain giant frantically chasing Du Fan, Nai Xiu finally took action. With a twist of her wrist, a shiny ring was placed on her finger. Drawing her bow, red and green light immediately surrounded her, spinning as if in motion. Soon, a strange, red-and-green long arrow appeared on her Eternal Bow. Letting go of her finger, the arrow shot like lightning, piercing the head of the mountain giant chasing Du Fan. With a loud thud, the mountain giant collapsed to the ground. The other mountain giants surrounding them immediately heard the crash and rushed over. One of them started pounding on the fallen giant’s chest, but it remained motionless. Suddenly, that mountain giant let out a loud howl toward the sky. Seeing this, the other mountain giants also came over. Soon, nine of them surrounded the fallen giant, all howling together. Seeing this scene, those fighting on both sides stopped and watched the strange behavior of the mountain giants. It was clear that this was some ritual of their unique race for the dead. The fallen mountain giant was undoubtedly dead beyond saving. An arrow skill capable of instantly killing a flame demon made killing a mountain giant like him a trivial task. Quickly, all nine mountain giants placed one hand on the forehead of the dead giant, their hands overlapping. These overlapping hands soon emitted green light, and under that glow, the dead mountain giant was quickly dissolved by the green light. Strangely, wherever the green light touched, the corresponding part of the fallen giant’s body disappeared, as if the light contained some magical power! After completing this, the nine mountain giants stood up again and resumed fighting against Du Fan and the other five. Yet their faces showed determination. “Let’s take care of these mountain giants first!” Lei Biao shouted. He was extremely annoyed by them—just moments earlier, they had been smashing the city walls and gates, driving him crazy.

At that moment, seeing Nayixiu kill a Mountain Giant, Leibao’s heart burned with excitement! It seemed these Mountain Giants weren’t as invulnerable as imagined! Du Fan’s sword strike earlier had also wounded one of them. So, after seeing another Mountain Giant killed, Leibao shouted at Moses and Bashah! Hearing Leibao’s call, Moses left the six Holy Rank warriors behind and rushed to Leibao’s side. Earlier, under Moses’ gravity field, those six Holy Rank experts from the Bilu tribe must have used some kind of magic or skill—they seemed quite familiar with Moses’ gravity field! They were able to work together and avoid getting trapped for a while. But at that time, the Mountain Giants were facing Leibao’s domain alone, while the six Holy Rank dwarves were only dealing with Moses’ gravity field. Of course, as soon as Moses left those six Holy Rank dwarf warriors behind and approached Leibao, the two domains overlapped! The Mountain Giants, filled with hatred toward Leibao and Du Fan, suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure all over their bodies as Moses got closer! Mountain Giants already weighed several thousand pounds! With Moses’ gravity field amplifying it a hundredfold, their weight soared to hundreds of thousands of pounds! In such a gravity field, the Mountain Giants’ disadvantage became apparent. Normally, even with a hundredfold gravity increase, a Holy Rank warrior would only weigh around ten thousand pounds, which they could easily withstand with their strength. But since Mountain Giants originally weighed several thousand pounds and now weighed hundreds of thousands, they simply couldn’t bear it! With several loud thuds, all those Mountain Giants collapsed to the ground as Moses arrived! Those who fell tried hard to get up, but sadly, they couldn’t even sit up! Helplessly, the Mountain Giants rolled around on the ground. “Is that it? Done?” Du Fan stared at the writhing Mountain Giants on the ground and asked Moses. “I think so,” Moses replied, somewhat frustrated. If he had known it would be this easy, he wouldn’t have been so nervous at first. He could have just had Moses jump in and activate the gravity field—then all those Mountain Giants would have collapsed immediately! “Six Wings, give me your spear,” Du Fan shouted at Six Wings.

Liu Yi handed the long spear in his hands to Du Fan with frustration. Du Fan having asked for Liu Yi’s spear made sense—among their weapons, aside from Nai Xiu’s set, the best one was indeed the long spear in Liu Yi’s possession. Initially, Du Fan had given this spear to Liu Yi because Liu Yi had no weapon at the time, and none of them were skilled in using long spears. Moreover, this spear was extremely sharp! Du Fan took the spear handed to him, examined it briefly, and then thrust it fiercely at the head of a nearby mountain giant! With a sharp sound, Du Fan’s spear pierced through the mountain giant’s head! The surrounding mountain giants all started shouting loudly, but under Moses’ gravitational field, they couldn’t even get up! Just as Du Fan’s spear pierced through the mountain giant’s head, Karu finally couldn’t hold back any longer—a loud horn sound rang out, and Karu’s army set off! As the army advanced, the momentum grew rapidly. Countless elite warriors emerged from Karu’s camp and charged toward Moses and Du Fan. “What should we do?” Du Fan asked. “What else can we do? Fight!” Lei Biao shouted. Suddenly, Lei Biao yelled again, “Open the city gates! Attack!” With his shout, the thick iron gates of the Black Panther Knight Order’s base finally opened, and the warriors inside poured out like a tide. Two waves of warriors collided, with the epicenter being where Du Fan and his group stood. Moses’ and Lei Biao’s fields of force continued to exert their effect, causing the Karu warriors who rushed forward to die one after another! However, this situation also placed immense strain on their fields of force. With fierce battles raging inside, both felt that the power sustaining their fields was disappearing rapidly! At this rate, their fields wouldn’t hold much longer. Seeing that most of their warriors had already rushed out, the two quickly retracted their fields. By this time, Du Fan had already used Liu Yi’s spear to pierce the heads of four mountain giants! Just as Moses ended the gravitational field, the remaining five mountain giants leaped up! Once they regained their normal strength, they charged straight at Du Fan!

Although Du Fan’s absolute protection could fully safeguard him, that person still chose to treat himself as a target, willing to be attacked over and over again. On the battlefield, a strange scene unfolded: Du Fan ran swiftly, with five giant mountain trolls shouting loudly in his wake, following him closely as if his shadow. As he kept running, Du Fan suddenly had a peculiar idea. “Since you insist on chasing after me like this, I’ll just take you all in the direction of Karu!” he thought to himself with a smirk. Acting on his thought, Du Fan turned and flew above Karu’s army! “Shoot him! Shoot him!” Many warriors on Karu’s side shouted loudly when they saw Du Fan flying toward them. Many of them recognized him as a prominent figure from Basha’s side. Upon seeing such a person flying toward them, their first reaction was to shoot him to death!
