Kay felt incredibly aggrieved.
His entire life had been one of unrestrained freedom. From a young age, he was seen to have the makings of a knight, and as he grew up, he not only displayed outstanding talent but also became a man who could capture the bodies of countless young women, but never their hearts.
Yet he never imagined that someone like him would one day be ambushed by a giant because he had no food, and was now on the verge of becoming the giant's meal.
"It's all that idiot Lily's fault! She ate a whole two weeks' worth of supplies! That's why I'm in this mess!"
At this thought, Kay felt a surge of anger.
Who knew why his little "foster brother," who was actually his "foster sister," could eat so much.
At this rate, wouldn't she eat Britain into bankruptcy before leading it to glory?
Imagining himself and a group of knights kneeling before the golden-haired girl, weeping and shouting, "My King, we can't afford to feed you anymore," Kay was overcome with sorrow.
Britain is doomed!
And that useless white-haired magus!
He promised to look for food together, but it's been days and there's no sign of him. He must have run off somewhere to fool around again.
Besides, has no one really noticed that Knight Kay has disappeared?
Teammates? Where are my teammates? A little help here!
Watching as he was tied to the log, about to be roasted like that black horse from before and then eaten by the giant in one bite.
Kay's expression became more and more twisted, and the foul language spewing from his mouth was like a string of firecrackers.
"Damn it! Do you dare to let me down? Let's have a go, I'll show you what a nightmare is!"
"You freak of a giant! All you know is eating! Did you scan a QR code or something? Eat, eat, eat, eat yourself to death, you son of a bitch giant!"
"Hey, hey, can you hear me? Let me tell you, if you ignore me now, when my sister gets here, you won't be able to afford my favor no matter how much you beg!"
"Aaaahhh! Let me down!"
Cang Ye was currently listening to Kay's rant with his jaw agape, his mind filled with only one thought: Holy crap, this guy is amazing.
Whose general was this? How could Britain have someone with such facial contortions and such abstract cursing ability?
Even Cang Ye, who had experienced the high-quality discourse of 21st-century netizens, had to admit that with this guy's foul mouth, he would have been a major figure on the internet in his era.
[By the way, Host, are you really not going to save him? If he keeps cursing like this, he's going to curse the giant's entire family tree eighteen generations back.]
Hearing this, Cang Ye was a little baffled and said.
"What does that damn giant's ancestry have to do with me? I'm not his ancestor."
"Besides, this guy is dressed like a knight and doesn't look like he's weak. Maybe he's deliberately acting like this to make the giant lower its guard before killing it."
The system was convinced by Cang Ye's words, and then it looked at Kay, who was still cursing non-stop, and couldn't help but sigh.
[You have to admit, this giant is really something. It's been cursed at for so long, yet it hasn't come out to teach him a lesson. If it were me, I would have torn his mouth off.]
"Is there a possibility that the giant doesn't understand what he's saying?"
System: ...
Just as Cang Ye and the system were talking nonsense, a roar suddenly came from the cave. Then, a five-meter-tall giant with yellowish-brown skin, a muscular build, and wearing a beast-skin loincloth crawled out of the cave.
"That's the son of a bitch who stole my horse!"
When enemies meet, their eyes burn with rage. Cang Ye's eyes turned red as he saw the giant.
He swore to tear this guy to shreds to avenge the loss of his horse and the grievances he had suffered in the forest these past few days.
After crawling out of the cave, the giant immediately grabbed the log Kay was tied to and stared at him fiercely.
"ROAR! (Why are you shouting so early in the morning, you idiot!)"
"What, what do you want! I'm warning you, if you're going to kill me, just kill me, don't mess around!"
Kay looked at the giant's lantern-sized eyes and the unconcealable morning temper within them, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
"ROAR! (Shut up, you noisy insect!)"
With that, the giant took the log with Kay tied to it and slammed the side with his face hard against the ground.
"Aaaah!"
Kay's scream echoed through the forest.
"ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!"
The giant was clearly not satisfied and slammed him a few more times.
It wasn't until Kay's handsome face was swollen like a pig's head that the giant finally put down the log, still wanting more.
"Good chance!"
Seeing the giant's guard was down, Cang Ye's eyes lit up.
He immediately held his spear, and with his magical energy circulating, he leaped up like an arrow, aiming straight for the giant's eye.
This was a cyclops. If he could blind it, it would be much easier to deal with.
It all happened so suddenly. The giant was still reveling in the relaxation of finally silencing Kay, and in its carelessness, it couldn't react in time to defend itself.
So it subconsciously closed its eye, using its eyelid as a shield.
But with Cang Ye's strength, how could this blow be so simple?
Blessed with the 『Afterglow of the Divine Age』, his constitution and magical energy grew stronger with Vortigern's advance. His physical abilities alone were no less than those of the heroes of the Divine Age.
In just an instant, the spear pierced through the giant's eyelid and plunged deep into its single eye.
Green blood gushed out.
"ROAR!"
Feeling the intense pain in its eye and the loss of its sight, the giant couldn't care about anything else and swung the log with Kay tied to it at Cang Ye.
"I'll screw your mother!"
Kay's scream was stretched out by the wind created by the giant's swing.
Cang Ye was not flustered. He pulled out his spear, stepped on the giant's head, and used it as a springboard to leap high into the air, avoiding the blow.
But he was also forced to the ground by the wind from the giant's swing.
"This guy's strength is a bit surprising."
Cang Ye stood on the ground, watching the giant randomly swinging the log and breaking the surrounding trees, and said with some admiration.
[Answer, Host. Phantasmal Species like giants are generally famous for their strength and destructive power, and Mountain Giants are among the best of them.]
[However, as one of the purer Phantasmal Species, a Mountain Giant's strength mostly comes from the earth. As long as you can temporarily separate it from the ground, you can completely break through its defense and pierce its heart.]
"Oh, so this guy's setup is similar to the Earth Tiger Hero, huh?"
Cang Ye immediately understood.
But knowing is one thing, and being able to do it is another.
After all, the giant wasn't the Earth Tiger Hero, who would foolishly jump up and give up the blessing of the earth.
At this moment, the giant had finally calmed down and stopped its pointless swinging.
Although it had lost its sight, it still had its hearing and sense of smell. In fact, without its vision, these two senses had become even sharper.
In just a few breaths, it distinguished that besides the human scent in its hand, there was another one in the open space not far away.
That must be the despicable coward who had ambushed it.
Roaring, the giant swung the log and smashed it towards Cang Ye.
[It has sensed your position! Host, dodge quickly!]
"There is no need to dodge."
Ignoring the system's fuss, Cang Ye's lips curled into a confident arc.
I don't believe that a mere giant from the end of the Divine Age can match my physical abilities, which are comparable to the peak of the Divine Age.
Cang Ye planted his feet firmly on the ground, and with a flick of his right hand, his spear shot out like a thunderbolt towards the swinging log, and towards Kay on it.
"Bro, let's talk this over!"
Kay saw that this guy dared to take on the giant's attack head-on, and that he was aiming for him, and immediately cried out in alarm.
But Cang Ye was in no mood to deal with him.
The spear shot out like a dragon, steadily piercing the space between Kay's legs, the spearhead embedding itself in the log.
And because of this, Cang Ye's feet sank deep into the ground.
It looked like the giant had the upper hand, but was that really the case?
Cang Ye shook his hand forcefully, and the tough spear shaft instantly burst out with powerful force, shattering the log into countless pieces in an instant.
His spear was not like most of the spears in Britain at the time, where both the shaft and the head were made of iron.
This spear was specially commissioned by Cang Ye, crafted according to his specifications to be similar to a Chinese spear.
An iron head and a wooden shaft, a weapon that combined both flexibility and sharpness, was the only way to perfectly utilize his immense strength.
With quick hands, he grabbed the screaming Kay from the air and threw him into the nearby forest.
Cang Ye continued his assault on the giant.
And the giant, feeling that its attack had no effect, became anxious.
"ROAR!"
It roared, and its huge foot stomped heavily on the ground. The next moment, a磅礴 (pángbó - majestic, boundless) force cracked the earth.
And Cang Ye, feeling the force transmit from under his feet, instantly jumped up, avoiding the blow.
But to his surprise, the giant seemed to have predicted his move.
A large hand slapped down towards Cang Ye from above.
"Look out!!!"
At that moment, a clear and pleasant voice rang out.
Cang Ye only felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment, a golden-haired girl in a white dress appeared before him. Then, a longsword that seemed to be forged from gold was placed horizontally in front of them.
"This is..."
