Giant Dragon Lord: Starting from Daily Intelligence

Chapter 403: Chapter 353: Domain Level Giant Gladiatorial Contest

In a flash, Kado, who had been standing perfectly still, moved.

He didn’t retreat. Instead, he took a step forward, perfectly intercepting the off-balance Tag.

His body was like an ancient tree rooted to the earth, unmoving, but his arms shot out like vipers striking from a cave, precisely grabbing Tag’s shoulders as he charged.

Tag’s Power was terrifying. Even in his uncontrolled state, the force of his charge was enough to bring down a city wall.

But Kado didn’t try to meet it head-on.

The moment he grabbed Tag, he abruptly put force into his waist and abdomen, pivoting on his right foot and spinning his entire body like a top.

Tag’s devastating forward momentum was skillfully redirected by Kado, becoming the force that powered his own spin.

Before the astonished eyes of all the Giants in the square, the burly Tag was lifted off his feet and swung through the air like a sandbag whirled around by an adult!

”ROAR?”

Tag let out a short, bewildered roar as he traced a staggering arc through the air, flying over Kado’s head before crashing heavily onto the ground behind him.

”BOOM!”

With a massive crash, a shallow crater was smashed into the hard ground of the square, sending dust and shattered stone flying.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the entire square.

All the Giants stared wide-eyed, their mouths slightly agape, at the well-proportioned, bronze-skinned ”Wandering Giant” in the center of the arena.

They were accustomed to flesh-pounding, head-on clashes of Power. When had they ever seen such a ”skillful” way of fighting?

”Yes! Awesome!!”

The dead silence was broken by an excited roar.

Ug jumped up in excitement, his thick arms pumping forcefully in the air, the thrill written all over his face.

Wuba and the others snapped out of it and began cheering, pumping their fists in the air.

A faint smile played on Raylo’s lips.

’Kado’s use of his Domain Power has reached a whole new level.’

’It’s no longer about simply deploying his Domain to crush an opponent. He’s turned Gravity into a kind of momentum, integrating it into his every move.’

’That kick just now instantly applied several times the normal Gravity to the area under Tag’s feet, which is why it succeeded in one move.’

Back in the arena, Tag, who had been thrown into a daze, shook his head and let out a furious roar.

He slammed both palms on the ground, flexed his core, and his entire body shot up from the ground like a great fish performing a carp kip-up.

This maneuver also showcased his extremely formidable physical conditioning.

”ROAR!”

Tag’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared daggers at Kado. He felt he had been humiliated like never before.

He didn’t charge recklessly again. Instead, he took heavy steps, slowly closing in on Kado like an enraged brown bear.

”I’m going to tear you to pieces!”

He squeezed the words out through his teeth.

Kado remained silent, merely settling into a stable stance with his arms slightly bent, guarding his front.

It was the standard Knight combat stance most often used by Raylo’s Personal Guard Captain, Ed, balanced for both offense and defense.

The fight resumed.

This time, Tag had learned his lesson.

He no longer charged in a straight line, but circled Kado, searching for an opening.

His massive fists whistled through the air as he smashed at Kado again and again.

His attacks were wide and sweeping, each punch packed with immense power, capable of plowing a shallow furrow in the ground just by grazing it.

However, Kado was like a reef in a storm.

Facing Tag’s tempest of attacks, he could always neutralize them at minimal cost.

Tag threw a heavy punch straight at his face, but Kado merely tilted his head slightly. The wind from the fist scraped past his cheek, whipping his black hair about, yet his body remained as steady as a mountain.

Tag launched a powerful, sweeping blow, and Kado quickly ducked. As he dodged the attack, he had already lashed out with a whip kick that struck the back of Tag’s supporting knee.

”THWACK!”

Tag staggered, nearly falling to his knees.

Parries, sidesteps, footwork, elbow strikes...

These basic techniques of a Human Knight, learned from Ed, didn’t look comical when performed by Kado’s Giant physique. On the contrary, they possessed a mountain-like stability, a sense of profound skill hidden in simplicity.

None of his counterattacks aimed to seriously injure his opponent; instead, they precisely targeted Tag’s joints as he exerted force and other weak points on his body.

This left Tag feeling utterly frustrated.

He had a body full of brute strength, but it felt like he was punching a fistful of slippery cotton—constantly thwarted and controlled.

”HUFF! HUFF! HUFF!”

The longer Tag fought, the more agitated he became. His attacks grew fiercer, but in doing so, he also exposed more openings.

The Giants outside the arena had moved from their initial shock to deep contemplation.

Watching Kado’s unique fighting style on the field, that exquisite control over Power, it was as if a door to a new world had been opened for them.

’So... this is another way to fight.’

On the high platform in the distance, a strange light glinted in the Great Elder’s cloudy eyes.

Raylo, meanwhile, was carefully observing Kado’s every move.

’Kado is like a sponge, frantically absorbing everything he comes into contact with.’

’The combat techniques of a Knight, the fine control of Domain Power—they’ve merged perfectly within him, forming a fighting style that is uniquely his own.’

Three minutes flew by during the tense duel.

Tag’s breathing had become heavy, his forehead beaded with sweat.

The continuous onslaught had not only consumed a great deal of his stamina but had also worn down his spirit.

Kado, in contrast, was still breathing evenly, his eyes still calm.

”AAAAAH!”

Tag could finally bear the torment no longer. He let out a final roar, abandoned all defense, and poured all his Power into his right fist, which carved a desperate arc as he smashed it with all his might toward Kado’s head!
