Chapter 100: Kaboom!Having no clue what I should do first, I turned my brain off and charged.

    "|Enchant Flame|!" [Solace]

    I set only one arm on fire as I rushed forward. Holding out the other hand, I casted another spell.

    "|Enchant Lightning|!" [Solace]

    Purple lightning wrapped itself around my left arm, causing my hairs to stand on end.

    "Gn... Nu..." [Stone Giant]

    It sounded like a voice came from the giant, which wasn''t surprising since it was a living thing.

    "Translation: Leave. Here." [Spirit Guide]

    The stone giant raised its massive arm, slinging it forward in an attempt to hit me.

    ("It''s slow!") [Solace]

    I sidestepped the punch as it struck the ground. What I didn''t expect was the shrapnel from the ground after being struck.

    "|Reinforce|!" [Solace]

    Reacting before little bits of rock hit me, I managed to buff myself.

    "Ow ow ow!" [Solace]

    Dust accumulated before me, covering my vision.

    "|Wind Edge|!" [Solace]

    I thought it was a good idea to clear up the dust with a wind move, but I made a mistake. The moment my spell was launched, the smoke made way for the giant''s fist to come through.

    ("Oh crap!") [Solace]

    "|Earthen Shield|!" [Solace]

    I pulled up a wall of earth to block the punch. Unfortunately, the giant''s hand bulldozed straight through.

    ("God damn it.") [Solace]

    I was forced to raise my arms to block it. This gave me flashbacks to when Jukhan smashed through my |Earthen Shield| and broke my arms.

    "Oof!" [Solace]

    I felt the impact send shivers down my spine. I grit my teeth as I felt the giant keep pushing, so I attempted to keep my balance.

    "Urgh!" [Solace]

    I dug my feet into the ground and slid back as the ground gave way. Luckily, my body withstood the blow.

    "You have gained |Experience|. |Gentleman''s Favor| has gained a level." [Spirit Guide]

    The punch had finally fully extended. Therefore, it was my turn.

    "|Blazing Fist|!" [Solace]

    Raising my right arm, the flames sticking to it burst forth as I returned a punch.

    "You have gained |Experience|. |Blazing Fist| has gained a level." [Spirit Guide]

    The attack didn''t do much. It dug a bit into the giant''s hand, but it slowly closed itself.

    "The hell?! That''s actually cheating!" [Solace]

    That was the time I remembered that the stone giant had the |Repair| skill.

    ("That''s what it meant? This is so annoying!") [Solace]

    I backed away to collect my thoughts, which was the incorrect move since the giant started to fire beams at me again.

    "Ayo?! Chill!" [Solace]

    Almost tripping over myself, I sprinted off to the side.

    ("How can I deal with this?! There''s gotta be a weakness!") [Solace]

    "Response: A stone giant''s weakness is the core. It is normally located underneath the foot." [Spirit Guide]

    ("Thank you!") [Solace]

    That did make sense. The only part that I didn''t really get was why it was under the foot.

    ("Okay. Now the question is, which foot is it?") [Solace]

    Turning my brain off once again, I rushed at the giant.

    "Come at me!" [Solace]

    It fired beams at me repeatedly, but I nimbly evaded them. I say "nimbly", which is an overstatement since some of them kind of grazed me.

    "|Earthen Shield|!" [Solace]

    Targeting the floor beneath the giant, I forced the ground to become uneven so it''d lose its balance.

    "Gn... Nu..." [Stone Giant]

    "Translation: Leave. Here." [Spirit Guide]

    I took a quick look underneath its foot as it was being lifted. The time frame was small, but a glimpse was enough.

    ("Not the right one... Left it is!") [Solace]

    "|Earthen Shield|!" [Solace]

    Lifting it up on the other side, the giant tripped.

    "Uh oh." [Solace]

    The fall of the giant caused the floor to shake and dust to billow. However, it was a stroke of luck since a red crystal was revealed beneath the giant''s left foot.

    ("Bingo!") [Solace]

    Feeling a rush of adrenaline, I wasted no time attacking it.

    "|Explosion Arts|!" [Solace]

    My body followed a certain rhythm. Movements came into my mind as my body placed my hands together into a single strike against the crystal.

    "Gn... Nu...!" [Stone Giant]

    It let out a cry when a spark was lit, causing a giant explosion to shatter the crystal. Needless to say, I was caught up in it as well.

    "WOAAHH!!" [Solace]

    I found myself soaring through the air, spinning until I hit the ground.

    "Urgh!" [Solace]

    "You have gained |Experience|. You have gained a level. You have gained |Experience|. You have gained a level. You have gained |Experience|. You have gained a-" [Spirit Guide]

    I''m gonna skip that part since that went on for a while.

    ("Ouch... That hurt...") [Solace]

    My body hurt all over.

    ("I hope I didn''t lose a limb... Wait, can spirits regrow limbs?") [Solace]

    "Response: Spirits above the rank of Greater Spirit are capable of regrowing lost parts as long as there is sufficient mana intake." [Spirit Guide]

    ("Huh. That''s cool.") [Solace]

    I slowly picked myself up. I found tons of dust covering me, but I was fine overall.

    "Ugh..." [Solace]

    I tried shrugging off the aching pain. Sadly, it doesn''t go away so easily.

    ("Well. That''s fine. Now, I can finally move onto the mine.") [Solace]

    I dragged myself over to the opening for the mine, only to find that the giant''s corpse now covered it.

    "Bruh." [Solace]

    I couldn''t help sighing at such a sight.

    ("This is gonna take a while to clean up isn''t it?") [Solace]
