Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-196

"Pooh, come!" Luan's voice echoed and the big brown bear, Pooh, ran at an alarming speed.

During the time he was left in this place, which before was just a dimensional crack, separated from the earth, he spent fighting against the other monsters, and the monster cores and magic stone were refined by Luan whenever he passed by and given to Pooh. Now, Pooh had strength that was equivalent to Zeus, being in the Second Order. In some ways, he was even superior to Zeus, since his great body gave him supernatural strength, and only was lesser in agility compared to Zeus.

As he approached, clouds appeared below Pooh's paws.

"We're leaving!" Luan's eyes were serious. The current situation, if not stabilized quickly, the casualties would be very high.

Humans were not yet ready for this type of battle. Nor did they have enough ammunition to fight the monsters using firearms. Since it was not enough for just 1 or 2 shots to kill some monsters even in the First Order, for ones in the Second Order, it was not even mentioned. Perhaps only the heaviest weapons, such as missile launchers, war tanks, among others would be able to kill a monster of the Second Order.

"Giants... And they're fighting monsters, and it looks like they don't want to attack humans..." Ingrid murmured, shocked. It was the first time that she had seen the existence of giants.

"The giants are not different from the elves in the stories, but at the same time, different. Elves generally eat fruit, whatever nature gives them. The Giants eat meat and protect nature. Because of that, they don't get along with the elves." Of course, the Giants hated even more the elves who were lost to the flesh and did not care whether it was fruit, meat, intelligent beings, or even their same species.

The elves' failure caused them to isolate themselves to avoid falling into temptation. Since, the moment they tasted meat, it was a path of no return.

Closer and closer Luan, the girls, and the two animals, approached. The loud sounds of war echoed and grew more thunderous as they approached. The sounds of grenades, gunshots, and the blows of the giants resounded.

The giants did not like to cause unnecessary death. The reason they killed the monsters was because they noticed that they were frantic, and now that they had been killed, they had become part of their food, since it was not their nature to kill and not to eat. The only living things they don't eat were intelligent ones, at least a considerable level of intelligence.

"This is bad!" Luan's eyes blinked, and he flew alone at great speed.

Maira and the rest stayed there without understanding, since they did not notice anything different - that is to say, the war against the monsters was the same. They did not see any person or group of people in danger, since they were being protected by humans and giants.

However, the direction that Luan was going was that of a giant almost 10 meters high, who held a gigantic hammer, with the head of the hammer so big that it was scary, and was descending towards the ground at an alarming speed and falling toward a crocodile monster.

*Booom!*

With one hand, Luan on top of the flying cloud, stopped the giant's humongous hammer.

The people who saw this were amazed! The giants were surprised and astonished! Everyone was shocked!

"Stop! If you don't, you will regret it," Luan warned.

The giant retracted the great hammer and leaned it on his shoulder and looked at Luan, who seemed very small, and did not feel hostility from him, so he asked, "Little friend, why am I going to regret it?"

This giant was a little stupid, and did not even realize that at that moment Luan was speaking in the language of the giants.

"Who is this human?"

"How can this little friend stop Ryu's attack with one hand?"

"By the way, how does he know how to speak our language?"

After all, they realized that the humans spoke a different language and did not understand a word of theirs, just as the giants did not understand them either. But then, how could this human understand and speak their language?

Luan pointed at the monster that was going to be attacked by the giant and a 'shot' went off. It was a bullet made out of Qi that pierced the monster's skull, and killed it.

When the monster fell to the right side, the giant looked closely and was amazed.

"Ohhh!"

There was a large ant nest there.

Yes, it seemed to be something insignificant, but for the giants, even if they were ants, they would not kill them simply for killing's sake. If he had killed it by accident, he could have even be depressed for a long time.

That was how much the giants loved nature and valued each life. Even if they were carnivores, they never killed beyond their needs.

"Then that's it." The giant was ashamed. He scratched his head awkwardly with an empty hand and said, "Thank you, little friend."

"Don't mention it," Luan responded nonchalantly and added, "Your weapon is very destructive; it is not good for use in a very closed place like this."

"But, I only know how to use this hammer. Without it, how am I going to kill these frantic monsters?" The giant was sad.

It was a bit ironic, seeing a giant pout and showing dissatisfaction that he couldn't solve this problem.

"Aren't you powerful?" Seeing him nod, Luan said, "Just use your fists. You don't have to use this big hammer to deal with these little monsters. If you do, the other giants not far away would not be avoiding you as they are now."

"Ohhh..." The giant scratched his head again, awkwardly.

It was true, whenever they fought, he was alone because he was very strong and sometimes he ended up hurting the other giants by accident.

After all, a single hammer swing from him was able to open a crater, enough to make the other giants lose their balance and show flaws for the monsters to attack.

"Err... Thank you, little friend..." The giant looked at Luan, who was floating at the height of his head and said, " By the way, how do you know how to speak the language of the giants. Oh yes, my name is Ryu Hajimon. And you are?"

"Luan Dimas, that is my name," Luan replied, "As for how I know how to speak your language... I better not say, since you are involved in some of my secrets, and I don't want to make up an excuse and lie to you."

"Oh, all right, little friend Luan. Us giants, we hate liars. But we don't hate secrets. Since it is a secret, I will not ask," the giant said with a silly but serious smile.

If you lied to a giant once, it was impossible to regain their trust.

"I'm going back now. Since you giants are dealing with the monsters on this side, I will deal with the monsters somewhere else," Luan told him.

The giant already knew that Luan was powerful, and so he did not doubt Luan's words. He smiled and said, "Good luck, little friend Luan, I hope to talk to you again."

"I also hope the same," Luan said goodbye to him and returned to his family.

After Luan left, the giant Ryu was surrounded by the other giants, and after talking for a while, they understood Luan better. And because he hadn't wanted to lie to Ryu, he already made them like him.
