As Loki spoke, a distinct, biting chill emanated from him.
Although he was still smiling, his smile conveyed no warmth or kindness whatsoever.
However, unlike the previously barbaric Giant warriors, Loki did not act rashly and directly this time.
He stepped past Kenji, turned his head, and scanned the area where the Giant warriors had fallen in the distance, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the dust and mist to see the fallen Giant figures.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Have all the warriors from western village been dealt with?"
Loki's face showed a hint of surprise, but only a little, as if he didn't particularly care, and even his subsequent words carried a touch of praise.
"Although those guys from Western Village are mediocre in strength, for a mere human like you to defeat them... you've done quite well. And, it looks like you haven't even used your full strength yet?"
At this point, a more intense look of interest appeared on Loki's face. He lifted his giant hammer with his right hand, and faint thunder rumbled around him.
"It wasn't easy to get out, and I originally planned to fight Charlotte, who has a great reputation."
"Since I haven't found her now, then it's you!"
"I put in all that effort to come out, I can't go back empty-handed."
"Come here and let me have a good fight!"
Loki swung his giant hammer with one hand, and for a moment, lightning crackled around him.
However, at this moment, Kenji directly waved his hand in refusal.
"I refuse! A fight isn't something you can just have whenever you want."
"Besides, it's very difficult to control the strength needed to strike you without killing you."
"Hmm, based on the previous experiment, I probably haven't familiarized myself with that kind of control yet..."
What Kenji said was actually quite sincere.
To beat the prince who was about to inherit the throne half to death before even meeting King Harald, such an act would be somewhat overly impolite.
However, such frank words sounded extremely harsh to others.
"Hehehe! Interesting! You human are very interesting!" Loki laughed in extreme anger, switching to holding the giant hammer with both hands.
This giant hammer, named Ragnir, seemed to reflect Loki's inner emotions at this moment, with lightning flashing and intense light surging wildly.
"Your tone, it's as if you could kill me at any moment?"
"You look even more arrogant than that man! I actually quite admire your audacity!"
"But here in Elbaph, no one can refuse my demands!"
As he spoke, the lightning around Loki grew even more intense, and his face revealed an undisguised, fervent desire for battle.
Rumble!
As he raised the giant hammer with both hands, the sky above the Heaven World echoed with clear and heart-shaking thunder.
"Strange, what's wrong with this kid?" Kenji sharply noticed that something was off.
Those Giant warriors before, even if they ultimately decided to attack Kenji, had observed the battle for a considerable amount of time before that.
At the very least, through the great battle between Charlotte and Kenji, they had learned about Kenji's approximate strength.
However, the Loki in front of him immediately wanted to fight, completely skipping any reconnaissance of the enemy's abilities and information, and just charged in headfirst.
Kenji took one look and saw that Loki was exuding an aura of hot-blooded impulsiveness and recklessness from head to toe.
He was not unfamiliar with such an aura.
"A newborn calf fears no tiger, he's practically a greenhorn."
Thinking of this, Kenji suddenly had a thought. "Speaking of which, how old is this Loki now...?"
The next moment, he simply looked up and directly asked the other party, "Hey, how old are you?"
On the opposite side, Loki, who was raising his hammer and brewing a powerful attack, was stunned and subconsciously said, "I'm almost 33, why?"
"33..." Kenji's eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing this.
"I accidentally fell into habitual thinking..."
Kenji compared Loki's age at this point in time with his impression and found that the other party had indeed not lied, he was around 33.
Previously, due to Loki's tone of voice and his larger body compared to ordinary Giants, Kenji had fallen into a misconception, subconsciously assuming this guy was at least fifty or sixty years old.
If he were fifty or sixty, that would correspond to a young man under twenty in human terms. But it turned out he was only 33.
"You, a 33-year-old brat, why are you talking so big? And you call Gerz a '44-year-old little girl'?"
"It sounds like you're very old yourself? You're clearly just a younger kid!"
"And also..."
Kenji looked up at the huge figure opposite him, holding the great hammer, his eyelids twitching incessantly, his expression very complex and vivid.
"Such a big guy, and you're telling me he's eight years old? How the hell can this be eight years old?!"
The Giant Race's lifespan is more than three times that of humans, generally living over three hundred years, with the oldest even exceeding four hundred years.
Proportionally, a 33-year-old Giant is equivalent to a human less than 10 years old.
However, Loki's height is very formidable even among the Giants. There are no 8-year-old children among humans who can be so fierce...
Wait, it seems there really is one: Charlotte.
Remembering Charlotte, Kenji immediately understood: these two are both monsters within their respective races.
Monsters, naturally, cannot be viewed with common sense.
"Hmm, speaking of which, this Loki kid possesses a special Giant Bloodline..." Kenji narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the two very unique long horns on Loki's head.
Ordinary Giants do not have such long horns, because as long as such long horns grow, it means that the bloodline of ancient Giants within them has awakened.
Among the Giant Race, it is the phenomenon of 'atavism'.
It is said that Harald, the King of Elbaph, also possesses long horns symbolizing the ancient Giant Bloodline.
"So that's how it is... Perhaps Loki, as the king's second son, became a prince partly due to his ancient bloodline." Kenji speculated in his heart.
At this moment, Loki on the opposite side saw that Kenji was still reluctant to act, and immediately became even more enraged.
"Hey! Do you think I'm a monster? Is that why you won't fight me?"
"Show your courage as a warrior, you bastard!"
Loki roared in anger, swinging his giant hammer down towards Kenji's head.
Crack! Boom!
A huge bolt of lightning instantly struck down from the sky.
The thunderbolt penetrated Elbaph's Heaven World and struck down at an extremely high speed, and for a moment, the field was filled with arcs and the sound of thunder.
"I'm not interested in fighting children." Kenji didn't even bother to raise his hand, using Observation Haki to predict, and his figure flashed, easily avoiding the lightning strike.
However, Loki became even angrier at the words, his arm muscles bulging, and he fiercely swung his giant hammer, striking continuously at Kenji.
Boom! Boom!
Each time the giant hammer struck, it would draw a thick, incomparably large bolt of lightning.
Loki swung the giant hammer at such a high frequency that the field immediately erupted with electrical arcs and lightning, and even outside the battlefield, static electricity was constantly crackling.
