REMARK: One of the few high levelled beings that are rumoured to have existed even before the gods. But through the billions of years, their strength dwindled and now their current strength is no longer a match for even the Demigods. Only the Immortal one knows how these beasts came into existence as he too once belonged to one such tribe of giants, however, he wasn't anything like the rest of his tribe and hence was ousted from their clan. It is said that the Immortal one made sure that the giants regret to have ever being born.

P.S. Try not to get trampled below their feet. Unless you have developed yet another fetish. If you know what I mean. *wink*

"Aye Aye, System-sama. But they are weaker than I expected them to be..." Arnold shook his head in disappointment. He was looking for a challenge inside the dungeon but it seemed he wouldn't get any until the Dungeon boss appeared.

Moments ago Arnold had constructed a platform by combining his Ice and Nature affinity to get a better view of the giant before clashing with it. However, what he saw left him disappointed.

He thought these giants would be at least around Tiamut's level and hence would be fun to play around with, but sadly that wasn't the case. These so-called mythical beasts were not even stronger than his summons... the only thing they had intrigued him was the giant's high strength and defence stat.

"What a letdown..." Arnold mumbled and pulled the Cardinal's sin of his inventory, "Still this is the best levelling ground for me at the moment. As long as I get additional Experience points and bonus stat points, I don't need anything else."

[Cardinal's Sin special effect activated: Expel.]

[Target has lost his weapon and is confused. Attacking the target will now deal 2x damage.]

Arnold once again open fired at the giant. The loud resounding sound of the gunshots shook the entire forest. The axe slipped away from the giant's grasp and he fell flat on his back. Crushing a huge part of the forest underneath him. His blood gushed out of his body turning the white landscape into sapphire.

___

"Isn't this a bit... too easy?"

Just by killing one Frost Giant Arnold almost earned enough EXP to level up by quite a few levels. This dungeon, even though it didn't look the part, was a goldmine for him and his summons. Moreover, the system indirectly confirmed there were at least 499 more such giants in the dungeon for him to kill.

"Jackpot!"

The number of giants coupled with the amount of stat bonus he'll gain from killing them was going to be a massive win-win for him. Even though he was a bit disappointed initially, the prospects were now looking better than ever for him as well as his summons.

This was the perfect opportunity for him to level up his stats like he had never before. Moreover, this was a repetitive dungeon, meaning he could clear it again and again and continue to level up without any restrictions. So yeah... a goldmine.

"Fck the paladins. By the time I'm done with the dungeon, even the demigods wouldn't be able to do anything against me."

Arnold's ambition wasn't just to grow strong anymore. Rather he wanted to be the strongest even amongst the Demigods.

He quickly stored the giant's corpse inside his void before destroying the platform he had created. He then looked at his summons with greedy eyes, "I think it's time for you to go haywire."

Their eyes looked as greedy as his did. They too wanted a taste of their new strength.

A couple of days later, in Jotunheim...

"Damn those summons, they are killing more beasts than I can!" Arnold smirked as yet another Frost Giant fell by his summons' hands, "Well, since I can repeat the dungeon again so there's no point holding them back from levelling up. As of now, they need to level up more than I do."

Surviving inside Jotunheim proved to be easier than expected. Even though Jotunheim was basically a snowy barren land, thanks to his nature affinity, he could easily gather fruits and herbs to consume and survive and finding water wasn't an issue either. As for Scylla, she was busy devouring the giant's carcasses. It would seem she had taken quite a liking to their flesh.

Moreover, unlike his summons Arnold still needed to rest every once in a while. The Summons could go on endlessly killing the giants there without any problem and since Arnold already told them to go haywire, they weren't holding back either.

"I wonder if it's your luck or is the immortal one really abusing his powers to ensure you become stronger than anyone else," Tiamut asked Arnold. Her face was as expressionless as Talos, but Arnold could tell she was warming up to him.

"Who knows? But it would seem I'm a bit lucky either way."

"Do you mind if I take care of the next one?"

"Knock yourself out. Meanwhile, I think I'll rest up a bit. As I haven't slept in over 30 hours."

"Thank you!" Tiamut murmured before sprinting away.

"I don't need to work much... the EXP in getting while resting is already absurd as it is."

As Arnold said, the influx of EXP and stats made Arnold's life heaven. It was as if Arnold had entered a candy shop where everything belonged to him. He decided to keep storing his EXP till he can and then simultaneously level up.

He planned so because the only thing levelling up did was to give him attribute points which he was continuously gaining by killing the giants. So there was no reason for him to use the experience points yet.

Another interesting that kept Arnold happy was the different types of enemies that could be found inside the dungeon.

First were the Warrior Giants that provided him with Strength points upon being killed. Second were the Defender Giants that gave him some much needed Defense and Stamina points. Thanks to these points, he no longer needed to depend on his items to defend him.

The third was the Mages who provided him with either intelligence points or Mystic points depending on whether they used summoning magic or not and last but not least were the assassins, who provided him with Agility, Accuracy and Evade points.

So far, he had managed to kill 25 giants, while his summons had killed a total of 55 giants together. Among the giants he killed were 5 warrior giants, 6 defender giants, 9 mage giants and 5 assassin giants. While his summons had killed 16 warriors, 12 defenders, 12 mages and 15 assassins in total.

The Warrior and Defender Giants more or less looked identical to each other, while the mages looked a bit malnourished in comparison to the others, but wore a bunch of accessories and were mostly females. The Assassins, however, were the most peculiar among the group.

They were even half as tall as their other counterparts, but due to their small size had an abnormal speed which they used to attack and run away. Also, they were a pain to handle as they were used to using trees to their advantage and could easily hide within the branches to protect them from much harm. That's the reason Arnold found these types of giants to be the most irritating ones among the others to handle.

However, he was happy. For now, his stats were unlike any being he had met before.
