The two giant warriors took a step forward, and the stone door behind them closed. The pirates were sweating profusely as they watched the giant warriors approaching step by step.

  "Hey... w-what does this mean...?" Jalen asked nervously. His hand held in cutlass at his waist tightly.

  "Everyone, prepare for the fight!" Captain Raigh shouted. He kept Castor behind him and unleashed his cutlass that have the rune shining.

  Once his cutlass was unleashed, the gale from nowhere swept around him. A green orb also floated out from the cutlass, it blew and swayed his black long hair, and guarded him.

  Captain Raigh seemed to be a different person at this moment. He took a deep horse stance, with the handle of his cutlass dragging at his crotch, and the tip of his blade pointed forward. With sharp eyes, he glared at the two warrior giants in front of him.

  "Castor, stay behind us!" Mark shouted and also unleashed his cutlass.

  "How should we do this?" Bob asked and reloaded a few bullets into his rifle.

  Although everyone was eager to fight, the two giant warriors in front of them were made of stone. Even Bob's rifle could not cause any damage. They could only pin their hopes on the Captain's runes-engraved cutlass.

  "Bob and the pirates who have a rifle! Try to shoot their eyes! Maybe it can damage them!" Captain Raigh commanded.

  But before they could fire their guns, the giant warriors were already in front of them. One of them raised his giant sword and slashed down at Jalen.

  However, Jalen is also not a weakling. He easily dodged the attack by rolling sideways, but then another giant warrior slashed at him again.

  "Everyone, jump!" Jalen yelled to remind them the attack was coming.

  When the horizontal slash came, everyone jumped up at the right moment. Captain Raigh jumped onto the blade and then ran towards the giant warrior in front of him with the blade on the road.

  His pace was so fast that it was not like the speed a normal person could run at. He moved as fast as the wind, and no one could catch him.

  Slash!

  As Captain Raigh rushed towards the sword hilt, he stomped down hard, jumped onto the giant warrior's head, and swung the cutlass with all his might. A dull friction sound was heard, and a faint mark was cut on the giant warrior's helmet.

  "Damn it! If I slash like this, it won't cause any damage! I'll try again... just catch the right timing and... Hmm?!" Captain Raigh widened his eyes suddenly in surprise.

  A huge blade was coming towards him, and he had no way to dodge in mid-air. Just as the sharp blade was about to cut him in half, a roar rang out.

  "Fire!" Bob yelled a command to the pirates. The next moment, he fired his rifle to the eyes of the giant warrior who was going to cut Captain Riagh in half.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  A series of gunshots echoed in the area. One of the bullets successfully hit the eye, and a sound of breaking was heard from inside the helmet, which made the giant warrior stop and suddenly roar in a deep voice.

  Rahh!!!

  The giant warrior turned angrily and walked towards the pirates. Its other eye brightened in brightness, as if burning with anger.

  "Great! Now is the time!" Captain Raigh said in his mind. When a giant warrior left, the pressure in his heart was immediately reduced by half.

  After falling to a certain position, he immediately clenched the cutlass in his hand and swung at the helmet again.

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  But something unexpected happened. The giant warrior seemed to have anticipated his action. It stepped back to let the captain swing in vain and then slammed him to the ground with its hand.

  "Gah...!" Captain Raigh spat out blood. The wound in his body was so heavy that he couldn't stand up. He felt that many parts of his bones were broken.

  "Captain!" Jalen shouted in worry and tried to run to him.

  "Jalen! Careful!" Mark also shouted to remind Jalen that the attack was coming.

  A giant foot stepped towards Jalen. Fortunately, he slid and dodged before being crushed into a meat pie, but he was unable to get close to the captain.

  "Fire!" Bob yelled a command and fired his rifle again.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Clang!

  Under Bob's command, the pirates with guns lined up and fired at the one-eyed giant warrior. But this time, no one hit the last eye, because the giant warrior blocked his face with his sword.

  "Left side attack incoming!!! Run!!!" Frank yelled in panic. He saw another giant warrior raise its sword and was going to swing it.

  The pirates immediately fled in all directions, like a pile of scattered sand. After losing their captain, the pirates were at a disadvantage.

  "Eh...? Wait, where is that little boy? Where is Castor?!" Jalen suddenly realized and glanced around quickly, but didn't even find the shadow of Castor.

  "That boy ran to the captain!" Bob saw Castor beside the captain and started reloading his rifle.

  "When did he even go there?!" Jalen dumbfounded.

  "Let's find a way to beat them first!" Bob said and fired his rifle at the giant warrior.

  These two giant warriors are huge but walk very slowly. They can run in circles to procrastinate. But this is only a temporary solution. When they run out of stamina, the reaper will take them away mercilessly.

  On the other side, the captain lay on the ground and spat blood, while Castor squatted beside him.

  "Agh... sorry... Castor... looks like I'm going to... cough... cough... break the promise..." Captain Raigh kept spitting the blood, "I'm sorry... this is the first time I've broken the promise..."

  "It's fine... you did well..." Castor doesn't know how to comfort him, "We... we can do the rest... this time I will protect you!"

  Castor said and grabbed the rune-engraved cutlass on the ground. He took a deep breath and then did the same thing as Captain Raigh had just done.

  He took a deep horse stance, held the hilt of the knife at his crotch, and pointed the blade at the giant in front of him. But this time the rune did not appear, there was no gale, and there was no green orb protecting him.

  "Weird, why is it not working?" Castor asked in his mind, but still didn't change his stance.

  "Hey Castor! Don't do anything stupid!" Captain Raigh shouted in worry.

  "I've read some fairy tales at home. There are many people who grab the sword and save the people around." Castor said confidently.

  "Those are just fairy tales! Those are not true!" Captain Raigh shouted again and coughed more blood out, "Just listen... don't... cough... do it..."

  "Mother said... if I believe it... then it's true." Castor replied and took a deep breath again, "And I believe it!"

  The next moment, a sharp pain spread to the heart and almost killed Castor. His eyes turned dark, cold sweat ran down his face, and his hands kept shaking.

  A scent of blood wafted through his mouth. When Castor opened his mouth, a pool of black blood flowed out. Then, black blood flowed out of his eyes, nostrils, and even ears.

  "What...?" Castor was confused and tried to cover his mouth to prevent his blood from flowing out, but it was useless.

  Captain Raigh was frightened by the suddenness. He looked at Castor in front of him with trembling. His heart almost collapsed at this moment. With his dignity, he would never allow a child to die in front of him.

  "Castor..." Captain Raigh called hoarsely. His tears began to fall uncontrollably.

  Raaahh!

  Two giant warriors roared at the same time, they changed direction suddenly, and walked towards Castor as if they had sensed a new threat.

  "Mother... you didn't tell me... that a hero who saves people will suffer so much..." Castor whispered and stabilized his body, he added hoarsely, "But I won't give up...!"

  Hwoom!

  Gale howling in the air and gathered around Castor, the rune on the cutlass shone, and the green orbs flowed out. The gale was stronger, and green orbs larger than Captain Raigh's.

  Clang!

  The two giant warriors raised their swords and clashed with each other, making a crisp sound of steel. Then they swung their swords down at Castor fiercely.

  Bong!

  Dust rose up, and everyone looked in Castor's direction with worry. The captain felt a pain deep in his heart.

  "Castor!!!" Captain Riagh yelled with tears on his face. He rose up with difficulty and tried to move towards to two giant warriors with his anger.

  "Captain! No! Don't go!!!" Jalen rushed to Captain Raigh and stopped him. Every pirate ignored Castor's situation, in their eyes, he was surely dead.

  BONG!!!

  A loud noise, like thunder, echoed in their ears. They were shocked and turned back to look in the direction from which the loud noise came. When they saw it, everyone widened their eyes without exception. In front of them was a giant warrior falling down.

  The fallen giant warrior's two eyes were broken. Its body was covered with beautiful flowers. They are all bright red, but their shapes are strange, twisted unnaturally. When they bloomed, many red stamens flew into the air and filled the entire area.

  Castor stood on top of the fallen giant warrior. He looked very scary, with black blood falling down his face.

  "Mother, I believe the fairy tales are true..." Castor whispered in his mind.
