Chapter 430: Battle (Patreon)

---1/2---

At this moment, a dense group of one hundred Charles appeared on the battlefield. The original Charles commanded, "Attack, crush them!"

"Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

"Lightning Release: Earth Travel!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Strike!"

"Lightning Release: Chidori!"

"Rasengan!"

"·······"

The numerous Charles clones displayed various jutsus, making the battlefield vibrant with colors.

Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Earth Release, Dead Bone Pulse, Scorch Release, and Taijutsu were utilized by different shadow clones.

Water Release was the only technique not used in this situation. Charles's clones swiftly joined the battle, clearing out a large number of Frost Giants.

The exceptional performance of Charles immediately drew everyone's attention, overshadowing Thor's presence.

Ligari and Kranqula shifted their gaze from Thor to Charles.

Kranqula spoke, "Who is this guy?"

"Haven't heard of such a powerful mage in Asgard."

Ligari shook his head, "I don't know; I haven't heard of him in the Nine Realms either."

Kranqula looked at Charles with a more solemn expression and said, "Thor will be left to you; I'll deal with this guy. We can't let him continue the slaughter, or your Frost Giants won't last until the arrival of my king."

Ligari, also observing Thor's battle with the Frost Giant Beast, nodded seriously, "Indeed, it's time for us to intervene."

Meanwhile, Charles floated in the air without joining the battle. Instead, he took out soldier pills prepared by Tsunade from his storage space, swallowed a handful, and rapidly extracted chakra to quickly replenish his chakra reserves.

As the chakra began to recover rapidly, Charles couldn't help but miss the Yin Seal that Tsunade hadn't developed yet.

Just as Charles was recovering, Kranqula walked out of the camp. As a Mountain Giant, Kranqula had a massive size, reaching a height of 5 meters. His entire body was composed of rocks, indicating high defensive capabilities.

Kranqula charged towards Charles, causing the ground to produce 'thud, thud' sounds with each step, despite his relatively small size of 5 meters.

Charles noticed Kranqula's approach and prepared himself while continuing to restore his chakra.

After running for a while, Kranqula stopped at a distance from Charles. The next moment, a massive pillar of earth suddenly rose from the ground, lifting Kranqula to the same height as Charles.

Standing on the pillar of earth, Kranqula looked at Charles and said, "You're a formidable individual, worthy of being remembered by me. Leave your name behind."

Facing the imposing figure before him, Charles remained calm and didn't have any intention of concealment, Charles directly spoke, "Supreme Merlin—Charles Doyle!"

Kranqula raised both hands, making a motion resembling hugging a person. The next moment, a massive stone sphere appeared in his hands.

"Remember the one who will kill you, Mountain Giant—Kranqula!"

Kranqula swung the colossal stone sphere towards the direction where Charles was located.

Facing the giant incoming stone sphere, Charles remained composed and immediately used ninjutsu.

"Scorch Release: Fireball Dance!"

A massive reddish fireball generated by Scorch Release, resembling a small sun, instantly collided with the enormous stone sphere before him.

Without any earth-shattering explosion or deafening roar, Charles's Scorch Release fireball directly vaporized Kranqula's stone sphere as it continued rushing towards him.

Seeing his attack being completely disintegrated by Charles's fireball, Kranqula didn't dare to be negligent.

He bent down, clapped his hands on the pillar of earth beneath him, and the pillar rapidly descended, safely returning him to the ground.

Due to the change in height, Charles's Scorch Release missed Kranqula's head and continued towards the camp behind him. A dazzling white light rose from the camp.

"Boom!"

Upon contact with the camp, Charles's Scorch Release instantly exploded, emitting a dazzling white light. A scorching heatwave swept through, evaporating the moisture within the Frost Giants hit by the blast.

The ice power on their bodies failed to provide effective defense, and they collapsed as dried corpses.

Kranqula glanced at the changes in the camp behind him, a drop of cold sweat formed on his forehead, only to be evaporated before hitting the ground. At the same time, he muttered to himself:

"What kind of freak is this? If that attack had hit me just now, even though I might not have died, but I would have been thoroughly crippled."

Kranqula, now without the arrogance from the beginning, changed his tactics immediately to a hit-and-run style, sending earth spikes from the ground to delay Charles.

On the other side, Ligari joined the battlefield as well. Unlike Kranqula, Ligari, being a Frost Giant and having control over the Frost Giant Beast, appeared directly above the Frost Giant Beast.

He placed both hands on the Frost Giant Beast's body, and the next moment, frost spread from the points his palms touched.

Soon, a suit of icy armor covering the major parts of the Frost Giant's body appeared.

As this armor materialized, the Frost Giant Beast's overall defense instantly strengthened, and the tail's lethality was also heightened. The sharp ice spikes on it also demonstrated their formidable killing power.

After completing these actions, Ligari stood on the Frost Giant Beast's body and looked down at Thor:

"Thor, surrender, or today will be your death."

Seeing Ligari approach, Thor didn't waste any words. He swung his Mjolnir towards the Frost Giant Beast, but the Frost Giant Beast's tail also swung at him.

"Boom!"

Upon the collision of the tail and Mjolnir, a booming sound echoed, and the icy ground beneath them cracked.

However, this time, the Frost Giant Beast wasn't knocked down but only the ice armor on the tail shattered, blocking the Mjolnir.

As Mjolnir flew back, another frost armor spread again, enveloping the tail completely.
