Chapter 365 The Bronze Giant’s Weakness
Ethan, who wasn’t aware that his Cat Kin protector was feeling giddy due to his might, became serious.
Although the Bronze Giant had proven to be the best training dummy he had come across in his life, it was also true that none of his attacks managed to deal substantial damage to it.
In fact, he could tell that all of his blows didn’t do any damage at all.
‘Is it because the only one who can deal with it is Sir Henry?’ Ethan thought as he glanced at his Head Prefect, who gave him a nod of understanding.
Just like a torpedo, Henry shot toward the Giant Bronze Golem, who had also sensed the teenager’s presence.
It was now at the limit of its patience and was no longer as calm as it was at the very beginning of the battle.
Ethan was indeed unable to damage its body, but it was also unable to damage the boy, so it vented its frustrations on the Sea Monsters that had tried to gang up on it.
However, these monsters had very hard exteriors, and most of them, if not all, had the ability to harden their bodies to withstand his blows.
Suddenly, the Sea Monsters who were fighting against the Giant all backed away as if they had received an order from their King.
Ethan felt that his Head Prefect wanted to fight against the Bronze Giant alone, so he respected his will and ordered the Sea Monsters to not get in the way.
A few minutes later, a battle, which would have been similar to the battle between David and Goliath, was beginning to unfold right before his eyes.
Henry had stored his daggers inside his storage ring as his entire body turned bronze in color, similar to the color of the Bronze Giant he was going to fight against.
Only a handful of people were aware that he had Titan’s blood flowing through his veins.
In truth, Henry was an orphan who was captured by an underground organization.
This organization performed experiments on Human children, hoping that they would be able to create a hybrid that possessed the powers and traits of the creatures whose blood they were injecting into their young bodies.
Henry was one of the handful of children who managed to survive this terrifying ordeal that had killed thousands.
But before the Rogue Wizards and Witches could even rejoice at their accomplishments, their underground base was raided by the Magistratus who had been tracking their members for a long time.
Professor Barret was the leader of that operation, and with him taking the lead, those who were in the Underground Base were all captured or killed.
He and his subordinates decided to take custody of the children, letting them live the life that they had been deprived of for many years.
Henry, who was one of the most promising experimental subjects, slowly regained his humanity. However, the horrors that were forced on him remained with him until today.
He had been forced to become the perfect killing machine, deprived of feelings and only able to follow the orders of his superior.
It was thanks to the love and care of his adoptive family that his frozen heart gradually thawed, and he was even able to experience what it was like to fall in love.
As the two clashed, Henry activated the power of the Titan Bloodline inside his body and met the Bronze Giant’s punch head on.
The impact of their collision made the two back away several meters, but the first one to recover was Henry.
Using his smaller size and speed, he darted closer to the Bronze Giant and punched its leg, hoping that it would break it somehow.
While his attack did land, and the force of his punch made the Bronze Giant fall down on the seafloor face first, it didn’t receive any damage like before.
Seeing this, Ethan felt as if the Giant was truly immortal and indestructible.
The two exchange several more blows, with Henry being able to outspeed and outhit his opponent.
He was like a fly buzzing around the Giant, punching it here and there, while the Bronze Giant was unable to land a blow on his body.
But just as Ethan was thinking that this battle would last for a long time, his Other Half told him something that made him feel slightly anxious.
“Henry’s Titan Strength has a limit,” Ethan’s Other Half said. “Once the duration of his strength buff ends, he will enter a weakened phase. I have been observing the battle from the get-go, and came up with a conclusion.”
“And that is?” Ethan asked.
“This Giant looks invincible, and maybe it really is, but there is no such thing as an invincible opponent,” Ethan’s Other Half commented. “Everyone and everything has a weakness. If not, this Legacy Trial would be nothing more than a hoax. I have suggestions. Lend me your body for a few seconds, while I try something out.
“Don’t worry, I will let you observe what I am about to do so that you will have an idea of how useful Vincent’s technique really is.”
Ethan nodded and relinquished control of his body to his Other Half, who didn’t waste any time and activated the Third Level of Vincent’s X-Vision.
The third stage of this ability allowed someone to see the weak point of their opponent, which would aid them greatly in battle. This was a skill that Ethan still hadn't mastered, and he was about to see how useful it was in real time.
Ethan, who was sharing his Other Half’s vision, saw something red flash on the Bronze Giant’s body.
“Do you see it?” Ethan’s Other Half asked. “That is the Bronze Giant’s weakness. It is something that you wouldn’t expect from a creature as big as it.”
After Ethan saw the weakness of the Bronze Giant, his Other Half returned control of the body to him, allowing Ethan to communicate with Henry directly and tell him where to attack his opponent.
‘Sir Henry, the Bronze Giant’s weakness is on its right heel,’ Ethan said. ‘Aim your attacks in that place!’
Henry, who heard Ethan’s words loud and clear, swam behind the Giant and kicked its back, making it fall down.
He then swam toward the Giant’s right heel and harnessed all the strength in his body for one final blow.
Perhaps sensing that his opponent had finally discovered its weakness, the Bronze Giant hurriedly stood up—at least, it tried to.
However, at that exact moment, four giant hands made up of water, pressed down on his body, holding down his limbs and preventing it from moving.
Given this opportunity, Henry unleashed his punch at the weakness that Ethan had pointed out.
A loud metallic crack was heard the moment his fists collided with the Giant’s heel, making the latter scream out in pain.
Soon, the crack on the Giant’s right heel started to spread upwards, until it encompassed the Bronze Giant’s entire body.
Just before the Bronze Giant shattered, a voice that was filled with pride and anticipation reverberated throughout the sea, ending the trial that had not been conquered for thousands of years.
“You passed. Now, accept the full power of my Legacy!”
A moment later, a brilliant light illuminated the dark sea floor, with Henry at its center.
Now that the Legacy of “The One Who Slays Giants” had fully integrated with his body, the Head Prefect of Dud Manor fell unconscious with a victorious smile on his face.
