BXBX NOVEL Chapter 206 - Episode 206: Big Guys.
Rodwane is so happy that he can\'t stop smiling while looking at Jariel.
"You\'re alive?!"
Jariel scoffs while smirking.
"Who said that I\'m dead? Do I look dead to you?"
King Crafnell is gritting his teeth and then pointing his fingers at all of us.
"Kill them all!"
All the subjects are charging toward Rodwane for some reason, and I think they know the real threat in the future is not us, but Rodwane. I swing my chained sickles at one of them, but that guy manages to blocks it and repels my sickles like it\'s nothing. I\'m surprised and a bit shocked because his level is just 750, but his stats are way higher than his level. I wonder if he\'s originally that strong or is it because of the effect from [Heart of Alucard].
I run toward Rodwane while wrapping my chained sickles on my arms, then I grab my staff and spellbook.. I cast binding to those who are trying to get closer to Rodwane while Azrael is attacking them while they\'re bounded. Azrael releases [Extreme Cold] and the room temperature is getting lower and lower in an instant, then Azrael uses [Blizzard Blitz] and crunches their armors while I use supportive spells to buff Azrael and use [Frozen Flame] at them.
I look at Ivonna and she\'s busy holding down 3 of the subjects with her shield.
"Ivonna! Can you capture Crafnell? I don\'t want him to leave this room!"
Ivonna is blocking their attacks and then uses a skill that makes them immobilize by smashing her shield on the ground. Ivonna looks at me and nods.
"Okay! I\'m on it."
Ivonna runs past them and she immediately bashes King Crafnell with her shield. King Crafnell is thrown away and hits the throne. He falls to the ground and on his hands, Ivonna grabs a rope from her inventory, but 2 of the subjects are stealthily running toward her from behind. When they\'re about to hit her from behind, 2 illusions of Avriel appear and protecting Ivonna. Ivonna ignores what\'s happening behind her and sticks to her priority to capture King Crafnell.
Ivonna is tying King Crafnell, but then something is flying above her. She looks up and there\'s a huge person is plunging down toward her with a big axe in his hands. She immediately lifts her shield and tries to block him, but as soon as the axe hits her shield, she falls on her knees and takes damage even though she blocks it. She\'s still covering herself with her shield, but then the big guy is swinging his axe at her like a bat and then Ivonna is thrown away.
The big guy is standing in front of King Crafnell and he\'s almost 3 meters tall. Ivonna is looking at him with disbelief. Ivonna turns her head to look at me.
"Trevor... I think we have a big problem..."
I look at her and then look at the throne where the big guy is standing. I look at his stats using my [Understanding] skill, I keep blinking my eyes when looking at his stats.

I look at Ivonna.
"He\'s dangerous, Ivonna. Do you think you can handle him on your own? Do you want to switch places with me?"
Ivonna smirks and shakes her head.
"No, I think he\'s a perfect opponent for me. I will hold him down since I\'m the only one who can do that. You should focus on protecting Rodwane."
I nod.
"Alright, be careful."
Ivonna nods and then she charges at Janhe, the big guy.
*CLANG*
*CLANG*
*CLANG*
Loud sounds of Ivonna\'s shield blocking Janhe\'s big axe and at the same time the sound of Ivoona\'s lance hitting his armor. Janhe is starting to get annoyed by Ivonna, and then he swings his axe as hard as he can toward Ivonna. Ivonna knows she won\'t be able to block it, and so she rolls over to dodge his axe, but as soon as Janhe misses his attack, he kicks Ivonna while she\'s rolling over and she\'s thrown down the stairs and falls on her back.
Janhe strikes the ground with his giant axe and starts growling with his deep voice that\'s echoing in the closed room. In less than a minute, 2 other big guys are coming from the secret door. One is using shield and axe and the other one is holding 2 greatswords. Ivonna is chuckling nervously and in disbelief. I look at them and I don\'t think Ivonna can handle the 3 of them on her own since they have the same stats as Jahne.
I look at Avriel.
"Avriel!"
Avriel is slashing her daggers at the subject and slits his throat. Avriel then looks at me while I\'m pointing at the big guy holding 2 greatswords.
"Can you handle him? I will handle the other one."
Avriel looks at the big and stares at him for quite a while. I know she\'s hesitant but then she nods.
"I will try."
Avriel looks at Jariel.
"Can you protect Rodwane, father?"
Jariel looks at Avriel happily because she\'s asking him a favor. Jariel smiles and nods.
"Leave it to me!"
Avriel looks at me and she nods. We both then run toward them to help Ivonna while I\'m putting back my staff and spellbook since fighting the big guy with a shield would be useless with magic and spell. I unwrap my chained sickles and swing them at him as hard as I can, but he easily blocks them with his shield.
I scoff and smirk.
"Alright then..."
[Divine Aura is activated]
[Frenzy is activated]
[Bloodbath is activated]
[Dominion is activated]
Sadly I can\'t use [Temptation] to anyone here since their levels are way higher than mine, and Azrael\'s level is also higher than mine. I should have not raise Azrael\'s level more than 300 and now I\'m regretting it since there will be a lot of situations like this from now on, not to mention they\'re not going to update the level cap anytime soon.
I swing my chained sickles again at him, and this time he gets knocked back because of the impact. I raise my eyebrow while smirking then keep swinging my chained sickles at him and throw so many attacks at his shield. His shield is his only advantage, and once the shield breaks, I can easily defeat him.
I\'m too focused on attacking his shield and I can see his shield is cracking and soon it will break, but then a notification appears in front of me.
[Ivonna Ivon is requesting you to join her party]
[Accept?]
[Yes] [No]
Without hesitation I accept to join her party, and then my body immediately glows and my body feels lighter and I can feel the power in me has been enhanced. I look at Ivonna and she\'s pointing her hand at me while smiling.
[Blessing is activated]
I\'m surprised she already got that skill from Eveth, and so I\'m not going to waste it and immediately attack his shield as hard as I can, and then the shield breaks and shatters on the ground. The big guy is surprised and then he grabs another shield from his back. I\'m scoffing and I shake my head because I didn\'t notice that there\'s a shield on his back, but it\'s futile since I can easily break his shield again and there\'s no way there\'s another shield hiding on his body.
Avriel is dodging the attacks and she\'s so slippery that she\'s standing in front of the big guy but she\'s untouchable. Avriel starts moving around him to see if there\'s a spot on his armor that her daggers can enter and inject the poison into his body directly since there\'s no way she can penetrate his armor with her daggers.
(15 minutes later)
His HP is still halfway, but his armor is broken and I can finish him off now. I look at Ivonna and she\'s panting and catching her breath while keep holding off Jahne. Ivonna is doing fine, but she nor Jahne can\'t do anything to win the fight. I look the other way and Avriel is busy and waiting to find an opening so she can stab his face with her daggers with bruises on her body since she got hits many times, but the big guy knows her plan and he keeps covering and protecting his face.
Avriel used everything from using illusion to mirror-image but nothing worked because his armor is like a turtle shell with no opening. Avriel is starting to become impatient and she starts to do some risky moves, and it immediately backfires at her. The big guy grabs her on her neck and lifts her up, I look at her and immediately swing my chained sickle and throw it at the big guy\'s right arm then pull it as hard as I can.
Avriel can\'t do anything but trying to free herself by stabbing her daggers at his gigantic hand. Jariel looks at Avriel and he becomes angry then runs towards her to save her with his dagger pointing at the big guy\'s heart. Jariel screams and thrusts his dagger at the big guy, and it pierced through his armor and Jariel keeps screaming and pushing his dagger deep into his body. The big guy throws Avriel to the wall and then he grabs Jariel\'s right arm with his left hand and he\'s crushing Jariel\'s wrist because we can hear his bone cracking.
The big guy slowly pulling Jariel\'s hand away from his body while he\'s pulling his right hand where my sickle is hooked at his gauntlet, but then he manages to free his right arm from my sickle. He lifts Jariel up and slashes Jariel\'s body with his greatsword. Blood is splattering and running down to the ground, Jariel is screaming in pain while he\'s trying to free his hand. The big guy is pulling his right hand back and thrust his greatsword at him and the blade pierced through his chest.
Avriel is shocked and screams.
"FATHER!!!"
