The battle continued with all of us clashing at each other but the main clash always occurred between Guts and the giant. Currently, I am shooting at the giant with the Gun Form of my Versatile Weapon. With the help of Guts doing all the same provoking tactics to fight back against the giant and trigger his attacks most of the time, staying in the backline shooting is fine to me. Besides, that will also help me gain SP and regain the lost skills that have been lost after the Versatile Class update.
Guts clearly are not doing any damage but he just keeps on pummeling the giant from time to time, he could make the big guy stagger and lose footing. And just doing that made the guy infuriated that the giant would swing his giant sword whenever it got a chance while spouting profanities that I can't understand.
But the battle is taking too long that even while shooting, I started to get a little bit bored. If I estimated it correctly, I have been shooting my Versatile Weapon for around 2 hours already. If the Versatile Weapon consumes bullets, bullet casings would be already filling up the place where I am standing. Still, there is something that I am not that used to. As a player who mainly uses the sword, the adrenaline rush in fighting on the frontline, and confronting the enemies is something that would really help me pump my blood up and keep me going. Being in the backline has benefits too but to be honest, I don't feel that good being placed in the backline and fighting there. Maybe it was just my preference due to how long I have wielded swords but I am not against guns, just that it is a bit more strange for me.
Before stopping, I decided to check the SP count of the gunslinger class and found that I managed to accumulate around 210 SP. It might be a lot of SP, but with the expensive skills, I doubt it will be this big enough of a deal though but at least I have quite a few more SP I can spend later.
Now that I have accumulated a few, it's time to fight beside Guts. He shouldn't be the one hogging all the action.
<strong>"GIVE UP ALREADY! YOU TWO WILL HAVE NO MEANS OF KILLING ME! I AM IMMORTAL AND I WILL REMAIN THE VICTOR NO MATTER THE OUTCOME! JUST DIE PAINLESSLY TO MY BLADE AND ACCEPT FATE!"</strong>
"Ha! All bark no bite! Come on! You should be ashamed of yourself for fighting against us who are smaller than your blade and yet you still have no chance to even give us any kind of fighting style that would give us a pumping blood action! Is this all you have got for us?!"
<strong>"COCKY LITTLE PIECE OF SH*T! I WILL MAKE SURE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BREATHE AGAIN!"</strong>
The giant swings the giant sword but before it can reach Guts, I immediately parried the giant's attack.
CLANG!
"Hey, Guts, you shouldn't just hog all of the enemies and have the fight all by yourself!" I grinned under the mask.
"No worries, Bladeheart, this guy is big enough for the both of us that I doubt I will keep this guy from you. You are free to break that other side of his and have fun!"
"Well, thanks mate."

CLANG! CLANG!
The giant gritted the large yellow teeth on its mouth and angrily fought back at us as it frantically unleashes several skills it has that all involved the sword.
CLANG! CLANG! PENG!
Our swords continue to clash with each other but it was also clear that the two hours of battle are taking a big toll on the big guy. During the big battle earlier, the attacks are faster and hit quite hard but now, I have easier parrying against the sword attack and it was like the attacks are almost barely there.
<strong>"COME ON! JUST DIE ALREADY!"</strong>
I can assume that the guy is semi-sentient. The giant responds to the taunts but it never had much dialog except for asking us to die already or speaking profanities from time to time. The attack pattern is also easy to predict too compared to the other bosses I have fought before. Sure I might not be the strongest player around but I am not that bad either and even without trial and error, I still managed to keep myself alive till now.
As we continue to exchange blow by blow, I soon noticed one gap on his sword. It looked like a crack but it was too small for me to properly see on the ground. There shouldn't be any point in going there unless there is something good to find there but if my assumption is true, then that gap could change the tide of the battle easily.
"Guts, can you stall this guy for a moment? I have something to check out on this one."
"Thanks," and after confirming, I made a few jumps using the armor parts of the giant as a foothold.
With the help of Guts getting the attention of the giant, I managed to see the gap that I saw on the ground and I grinned when my assumption earlier was actually correct. It was a small gap made from a crack and the gap has made a bit of a small crack there that is good enough for me to exploit. Since this giant relies on the sword most of the time, losing the sword means the end of the battle.
"Gotcha!"
Using a bit of force to my legs, I jump forward and grab the gap tightly with my hands, and in one quick stab, I struck the gap with my Versatile Weapon. The giant noticed that I was already dangling on his sword and his face which only looked a bit scary made a very scary face with a big frown and with the addition of the yellow teeth, the face is really disgusting to see.
<strong>"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW? GET OFF OF MY SWORD AND DIE!"</strong>

"Fat chance big guy! [Earth Fissure]!"
The Versatile Weapon glows bright and the cracks that were only visible if looked in a close-up view are now appearing much bigger than ever before. Not only that but the cracks are also producing nasty cracking sounds that it is a bit worrisome to the giant that it panicked and swings the sword around trying to get rid of me. I am quite a guy with a strong grip and alongside the Versatile Weapon tightly embedded in the gap, the swings barely did anything to me.
But that is not the same when it comes to his weapon. The cracking is getting bigger and bigger that even with a slight swing, the crack also gets more visible too. It didn't take that long for the whole giant sword to fill big cracks.
<strong>"GRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"</strong>
The giant slammed the sword down to the ground though before the tip touches the ground, I decided that it is time for me to stop clinging to that cracked sword.
BANG!
The sword's tip tightly fell to the floor and made it crack, but so did the entire sword. With the cracks on the surface already too spread out, one big push will only deal with it.
BOOOM!
N0 v el Next. CoM
Quite a big explosion came from a sword, the debris of the sword started to rain all over the place and the giant staggered when his weapon burst into pieces. It was inevitable but it was his own fault for making the sword explode to pieces, I might be the one who created the cracks but I am not the one who dealt the final blow to his weapon. It was clear this guy was alone and no one else but the giant alone.
"<strong>MY SWORD! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY SWORD?!"</strong>
Just the broken pieces of the sword made the giant cry. It might be unusual but I think that was understandable enough. Since I have never seen this guy attack without a sword, like fighting with the fists or foot to stomp on us, all the giant did is swing the sword and use the abilities using the sword. Without the sword, the giant is incomplete.
"Well, that was a bit anticlimactic. It looks like our battle against this guy wasn't that enjoyable right?" Guts turned to look at me with a grin.
"So are you satisfied by that?"
"Although I wasn't that satisfied, we have been fighting for quite a while and I would have loved if the giant fought for real. But since he was a big boring guy, then it would be better to send this guy back to where he belongs."
Before I can respond to his suggestion, Guts approached the crying giant and pinned 360 before releasing a roundhouse kick in quick succession. The giant did not anticipate this and before it can react, it was sent flying back to the portal.
"Good! Bladeheart, it's time to close the portal!"
