Chapter 35 - CHAPTER 32

The bitter conflict between the giants and humans had reached its zenith. For months, the giants had oppressed and brutalized the humans, destroying their sole source of livelihood, slaughtering their people, and ravaging their homes with impunity, leaving the once-proud human race teetering on the brink of extinction. But even in the face of such overwhelming odds, the humans refused to submit, mounting a desperate resistance in both retaliation and self-defense.

As the conflict raged on, a grim realization dawned upon the humans: their strategies, attacks, and weapons were utterly ineffective against the giants' impenetrable skin. Even the unbreakable spirit that had sustained them through countless hardships began to falter as hope dwindled and despair took hold.

Yet, it was from the depths of this despair that a hero arose, born of a once-despised woman. This hero stood toe-to-toe with the giants, time and time again rescuing his people from the jaws of destruction. However, as he learned of the cruel mistreatment his mother had suffered at the hands of those he fought to protect, he grew bitter and disillusioned, ultimately abandoning the very people he had once saved.

With the loss of their hero, the human race became more vulnerable than ever before. On the fateful night of his departure, the humans found themselves under siege once more as their colossal nemeses launched a fresh assault.

But even in the face of hopelessness, a beacon of hope shone forth: a human warrior finally uncovered the giants' hidden weakness. With a single, deadly strike, it appeared as though fortune had at last smiled upon the humans. However, their moment of triumph was short-lived, as the giant, in a vengeful fury, struck back, poised to claim the life of the human warrior who had exposed their fatal flaw.

It was in this moment of crisis that their lost hero returned to aid his people, his presence shifting the momentum of the battle in their favor. Bolstered by his strength, the humans unleashed their full might upon the giants, decimating their ranks until only their ruler remained.

As the human warriors prepared to deliver the final blow, the giants' ruler retaliated with a barrage of devastating beams, wreaking havoc upon the landscape. The battlefield lay in shambles, strewn with lifeless bodies, as the injured and weary survivors could only watch in horror, their fate hanging in the balance.

As the relentless barrage of beam attacks rained down upon the battlefield, Elsa's magical powers proved indispensable. With her abilities, she shielded the injured and the healthy alike, protecting them from the destructive force of the giants' ruler. As the onslaught subsided, she released the humans from her magical barrier, their gratitude palpable.

"Thank you, Elsa," Roxanne said earnestly, her voice tinged with relief. "You saved my life."

Elsa offered a warm smile in response, though it soon faded as she realized her son remained on the frontlines, locked in a perilous standoff with the colossal adversary.

"Fredericko," Roxanne whispered, her concern for the young hero evident in her voice. "I hope he's okay."

All eyes were fixed on Fredericko as he stood defiantly before the ruler of the giants, a beacon of hope amidst the chaos.

"I heard the humans call you Fredericko, huh?" the giant leader rumbled, his voice filled with an unsettling mix of curiosity and malice.

"Of course," Fredericko replied, his voice steady and resolute. "It's my name, after all."

In a sudden burst of aggression, the giant ruler unleashed another beam attack, forcing Fredericko to react swiftly. He swung the Oathkeeper's Shadow, executing a powerful slashing maneuver that met the giant's attack head-on. The impact of the collision sent shockwaves rippling through the earth, and as the dust cleared, plumes of smoke rose from the aftermath of the clash.

"Fredericko, you are dangerous," the giant ruler declared, his voice tinged with a grudging respect. "If I don't kill you, the humans will win."

"You're going to kill everyone here, aren't you?" Fredericko retorted, his voice laced with both anger and determination. "It has nothing to do with me being dangerous or not. You just want to kill humans. But I will stop you!"

As the tension mounted, the giant ruler prepared to launch another attack. Fredericko, his body taut with anticipation, stood on guard, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. The outcome of the battle, and the fate of the human race, hung in the balance, their hopes resting on Fredericko's shoulders.

The scene shifted, as Fredericko recalled a past moment with his mother. Fredericko had just unleashed a devastating technique during his training, leveling a portion of the mountain in the process.

"Fredericko!" Elsa exclaimed, her voice a mixture of shock and concern. "What in the world did you do?"

"Sorry, Mother," Fredericko explained, his tone a blend of excitement and remorse. "It's a new technique I developed while I was training."

"What?" Elsa questioned, her tone laced with a scolding edge. "What type of technique would destroy the mountains?"

Fredericko listened quietly as his mother continued to reprimand him, her concern for the potential consequences of his actions evident in her words.

"Fredericko, you must never use this technique again," Elsa warned, her voice firm and resolute. "It has the potential to destroy the world!"

"But Mother!" Fredericko attempted to protest, only to be swiftly interrupted.

"Not another word!" Elsa commanded, leaving no room for argument.

The scene shifted back to the present, the ruler of the giants poised to unleash another attack upon the human warriors.

I'm sorry, Mother, Fredericko thought to himself, his mind filled with determination and regret, but this is the only way to protect our people!

With his black sword in hand, Fredericko knelt down on one knee, his eyes closing as he prepared to unleash the full force of his power. The giant ruler and the humans alike watched in confusion and apprehension, uncertain of Fredericko's intentions.

Soon, Fredericko's aura began to surge, causing the earth to quake beneath his feet. As he rose, the Oathkeeper's Shadows glinted menacingly in his grasp. At that moment, the ruler of the giants unleashed another beam attack, its destructive force barreling towards the human warriors.

Intent on countering the devastating blow, Fredericko swung the Oathkeeper's Shadows, shouting, "Umbra burst!" A powerful wave of black and reddish light, brimming with force and wind, surged forth, shattering the beam attack and sending the ruler of the giants hurtling towards the sun.

The humans were left in stunned silence as they witnessed the awe-inspiring display of power. Their shock soon gave way to jubilation as they realized the magnitude of their victory over the giants. They raced towards their hero, lifting Fredericko into the sky in celebration, their cheers and laughter echoing across the once-ravaged landscape.
