The Human Giant



It wasn't just the audience that thought so; even Yoze felt that it was better for Darwin to lose this battle than continue fighting. Simply because the pressure that he felt coming from Gray's new body was a little stronger than the pressure, he felt when he had previously fought the Leopard demon.

Even if Gray couldn't manipulate his spiritual energy to the same level as the Leopard demon, Yoze didn't doubt that the physical abilities that Gray now processed were far higher than what he had shown before. Not to mention that Gray's transformation was bound to have some special abilities that should make it impossible for someone like Darwin to win.

In his eyes, there was nothing but death for Darwin if he tried to continue the battle. Unfortunately, regardless of what Yoze and the immortal cultivators thought was the best path for Darwin, it seemed that Gray's transformation utterly paralyzed him. 

His trembling body, pale face, and bloodshot eyes showed that not only was he frightened beyond belief, but his mental state was quickly collapsing. If nothing happened, it was likely that Darwin's mind would continue to collapse to the point where he wouldn't survive much longer, even if Gray didn't attack him.

"Hiss! Hungary!" The Two-Headed Serpent's deep voice silenced the platform of all sound as its purple snake eyes stared at Darwin with insanity.

Without hesitation, one of Gray's snake heads opened its mouth wide to show a blood ball the size of a cannonball inside its throat. In less than a second after the snake head showed the blood ball, it controlled its muscles with masterful accuracy and launched the blood ball as if it was a cannonball.

"Bang!"

The moment the blood ball was shot at Darwin, his instincts screamed at him to escape causing him to snap out of his daze. Without a second to spare, Darwin clapped his hand to activate his favorite spell, Light Shadow.

Using the fact that his speed and reaction speed had drastically improved, Darwin narrowly dodged the blood ball. Before hearing the sound of sizzling coming from behind him.

Understanding that he couldn't be distracted for a split second, Darwin ignored the urge to check the condition of the ground that the blood ball had landed on and instead launched a counterattack. Using the remaining Blinding Light Crescents that hadn't been destroyed yet, Darwin threw them at Gray while dodging the dozens of blood balls being fired at him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Clink! Clink! Clink!"

Even though Darwin's Blinding Crescent blades were strong enough to cut through a Crystal Spine, it was even nearly powerful enough to damage Gray's scales, only resulting in them shattering on impact. Seeing that he was rapidly running out of crystal energy and saw no hope for victory, Darwin gritted his teeth and opened his mouth to surrender.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

Unfortunately, the moment Gray noticed that Darwin was about to give up, they turned red as he controlled his snake body to quickly cut the distance before them. In a short instant, one of Gray's snake heads opened its head and swallowed Darwin before he could speak.

"Crush!"

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The sound of Darwin's bones being crushed was quickly overwhelmed by Gray's rage-filled hissing. Without a doubt in any of the immortal cultivators' minds, they knew that Darwin had died and was the first immortal cultivator to die from this tournament.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope this match has been very exciting for you all! We have seen ups and downs!"

"We have seen underdogs overcome all odds! And we watched tragedy happen before our very eyes!"

"Give hearty and blood-boiling applause to our sponsors of this tournament, the Immortals of the Immortal Palace Sect and the Immortal Shadow Sect! Please welcome the Shadow Devil Immortal, Immortal Flint!" The announcer swiftly resumed his duties and responsibilities, ignored Gray's Twin-Headed Serpent transformation, and introduced an immortal.

As soon as his name was announced, a tall and skinny immortal dressed in a long black robe flew out from the direction of the Immortal Palace headquarters. Within a few seconds, the massive distance that took immortal Patty minutes to cross using his flying sword was crossed.

Once the immortal Flint had arrived and stood next to the announcer with a thin smile, Yoze felt that his appearance was quite strange but couldn't put his hands on why. Even though Immortal Flint was only shorter than him by a few inches at most, making him very tall for a human, his appearance didn't look out of the ordinary.

If anything, Immortal Flint looked too normal as his long black curly hair, brown eyes, and round face weren't on the same level as handsome as Geo and could only be considered slightly above average. Nor did the aura surrounding Immortal Flint create any impressions in Yoze's mind, it was a perfect neutral aura.

Yet as soon as Immortal Flint appeared before him, his instincts told him that this man was dangerous. Just the fact that his instincts warned him about grabbing Immortal Flint's attention proved to Yoze that Immortal Flint was by far the strongest immortal cultivator that he had met.

"Thank you, Immortal Glenn. Even though we are from different sects, you have shown me and every other Immortal a pleasant time."

"I'll recommend that we hire your services next time we have an event like this. Without you there to control the flow of everything, it would become very boring." Immortal Flint spoke softly and sang praise at the announcer as he ignored the Two-Headed Snake that was trying to swallow him.

"Hahaha! Immortal Flint, without your recommendation, how could I have gotten such a cushy job for such an important event like this? I can't accept your praise."

"But I will take up your offer to recommend more of these jobs, and don't doubt that I won't hold you accountable if you don't fulfill your promise." Immortal Glenn laughed as he adjusted his thick glasses.
