Seeing a lightning spear coming at him, Otto remained calm.
He casually grabbed a stone giant and thrust it in front of him like a stone pillar, blocking Tatoo’s lightning spear.
After repeating this move several times, the stone giants that had surrounded Otto became his best shield.
The lightning magic used by Tatoo and Kana hardly posed any threat to him.
Occasionally some lightning magic would penetrate the stone giant shields, but the amount and quality were so generic that it no longer had any effect on Otto.
Despite this, Kana spoke to Tatoo with a hint of despair: “This Silver Dragon is too powerful. Even in front of a Red Dragon of the same size, I don’t feel this helpless.
Even together, we are no match for him. Maybe we should run…”
“Run? Where can we run to? Our master will never let us go!”
Tatoo shook his head, then took out a strange crystal, his eyes filled with determination.
It was the Storm Core, a gift from his master Leytras.
If he were to remove his own heart and replace it with this crystal, he would temporarily shed his identity as a Storm Giant, becoming a powerful Storm Titan.
With his current accumulation of strength, he could attain nearly legendary power by doing so.
Of course, this was not without cost.
Even as a Storm Giant, having their heart removed meant they could only live for a short time.
During that time, using the Storm Core could replace their original heart, allowing them to survive for a brief period and giving them immense power.
But once the effective time of the Storm Core was over and its energy exhausted, it would turn into a useless dust and disperse.
At that point, Tatoo, having lost his backup heart again, would die on the spot.
Kana recognized the Storm Core and knew the consequences of using this gift. She shook her head, hoping Tatoo would not do it, but eventually she could not stop the determined Storm Giant.
Tatoo stared at Kana, opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately couldn’t utter a single word.
In the end, he simply said nothing, resolutely drew the great sword from behind, and violently ripped his own heart out through his chest.
Storm Giants’ robust constitution allowed them to continue to function normally for a short time after losing their heart.
Enduring the sharp pain, Tatoo stuffed the Storm Core into his empty chest, and immediately violent electric arcs wrapped around him from within.
The wound on his chest healed instantly, and even his size grew significantly.
Just judging by size alone, Tatoo now seemed to have no great difference compared to Otto.
He first clenched his fist to feel the power he had gained, and then quickly charged towards Otto.
In Tatoo’s hands, furious thunder condensed into a nearly solid lightning spear.
Both the size of the lightning spear and the concentration of lightning elements were several times stronger than before.
At this moment, Tatoo was indeed a powerful Storm Titan.
However, he didn’t have much time to experience his new body. He had to seize the moment and deal with Otto as soon as possible.
Still surrounded by dozens of stone giants, Otto noticed Tatoo’s change, although he had no idea why this Storm Giant had transformed.
But one thing he knew for sure: Tatoo now posed a threat to him.
Because of this, Otto no longer took a playful attitude and began to mobilize his own power.
He imbued his tail with the cutting power of the legendary battleaxe and the explosive effect of the legendary warhammer on his claws.
Then came a one-sided massacre. No stone giant could withstand Otto’s onslaught for more than a moment.
Either they were chopped in two by the axe blade on his tail, or they were blown into pieces.
Soon, the number of stone giants surrounding Otto diminished, with only the not-so-bright hill giants drawn to join.
Then they were mercilessly slaughtered to the point of extinction. These creatures were actually at the bottom of the giant hierarchy.
By the time Tatoo reached Otto, the latter had already cleared an open space around himself.
“Die, Silver Dragon!”
Transformed into a Storm Titan, Tatoo leaped high into the air with one hand gripping the lightning spear and the other holding a huge sword shimmering with raging electric arcs.
Otto swung his tail at the approaching giant, only to have his attack blocked by Tatoo’s lightning spear.
This surprised Otto, as his tail was imbued with the power of the legendary battleaxe.
And yet, his opponent managed to block his attack with just an insubstantial lightning spear.
Not only that, at the moment of contact, a special paralysis sensation spread from Otto’s tail to his body.
Although not enough to bind his body, it slowed his movements down a bit.
In close combat, sometimes a slight mistake can be fatal.
Seizing this rare opportunity, Tatoo immediately hurled the lightning spear in his hand, piercing Otto’s first head with a direct hit.
The thick scales and coating defense hardly had any effect on it.
At the same time, Tatoo switched to wielding both large swords and with great effort, beheaded another head of Otto’s. Two of Otto’s three heads were instantly killed.
But that was all!
Underestimating his opponent had caused such damage, and Otto was furious.
His huge, augmented claws swiftly slapped the leaping Tatoo onto the ground, and the massive Storm Giant immediately made a deep pit upon impact.
Even though he temporarily transformed into a Storm Titan, the strike had left him dazed.
This wasn’t the end. A large red dot appeared on his body.
In no time, with the dot becoming hotter and hotter, fierce energy erupted instantaneously.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the pit created by the fallen Tatoo expanded irregularly.
In this nearly semi-enclosed space, the power of the legendary explosive spell was maximized.
Otto stared coldly at the thick smoke, then took a deep breath as frenzied energy brewed in his mouth.
Following an angry roar, the extremely high-temperature flaming poison breath swept directly over the spot where Tatoo had fallen previously.
Otto had always believed that finishing off an opponent was a good habit.
After the flaming poison breath, Otto used strong acid and severe poison on the same spot, even adding toxic breath on top of it.
Normally, it would be difficult for any living being to survive in such chaos.
Even a Storm Titan shouldn’t be able to!
