Harald's slashes far surpassed the might of other Giant warriors.
Even the few Temple Guards, the strongest warriors of Elbaph, found their combined attacks incomparable to his.
Harald, having awakened his ancient Giant Bloodline, was far larger than ordinary Giants. As he swung his greatsword and moved, a clear, visible trace was left in the air, like a spatial rift.
After the other Temple Guards in the field were sent flying, Harald not only didn't retreat, but his slashing power surged even further.
The next moment, intense Haki flowed across the blade, followed by the greatsword colliding with a crescent-shaped slash shimmering with dark red light from a distance.
Boom!!!
In an instant, countless Haki traces erupted densely.
Terrifying energy fluctuations shook the temple, and the ground violently trembled.
Swoosh... Swoosh... Swoosh...
Several figures flashed by. Three CP0s, taking advantage of the chaos, rushed towards the few Temple Guards who had been sent flying, seemingly intending to pursue and finish them off amidst the confusion.
At this moment, those few Giants had indeed temporarily lost their combat ability. Their weapons were severely damaged, and their bodies bore shocking wounds from the previous Conqueror's Haki-infused slashes.
The three CP0s each targeted one Giant, fiercely attacking at their wounds.
The three Giant warriors, still in mid-air and falling backward, endured the pain and only managed to swing their damaged weapons once before being swiftly struck by the attacks.
Pfft!
Large amounts of blood splattered, instantly staining the pure white temple ground with crimson.
"Bastard!" Harald roared in fury at the sight, bloodshot eyes bulging.
"In Elbaph, we will never allow you to do as you please!"
In his rage, ancient Giant strength surged within Harald, allowing him to forcefully cut through the slash in front of him.
Then, he charged forward, his immense power stomping the ground, causing the great hall to violently tremble again.
However, just as he was about to provide support, a figure suddenly flashed out.
It was Sommers, blocking Harald's path.
"Get lost!" Harald didn't even think, directly swinging his sword down.
An intense aura surged forth, and the sharp energy extending from the sword's edge tore Sommer's skin from a distance.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Sommers cried out in a slightly exaggerated tone, yet unhurriedly drew the large club from his waist to meet the attack.
At the same time, Sommers secretly used his Thorn-Thorn Fruit ability, invisible thorns wrapped around the club, forming unseen spikes.
Following that, the spiked club heavily smashed towards Harald's descending sword.
This scene looked a bit comical. The size difference between the two was immense, especially since Harald had awakened the ancient Giant Bloodline, making him even taller than typical Giants. In comparison, Sommers was as tiny as an ant.
On the surface, the two were completely mismatched opponents.
Yet at this moment, the relatively tiny Sommers, holding the spiked club with both hands, actually managed to stop Harald's slash.
Furthermore, he secretly and quietly used his Thorn-Thorn Fruit ability, and invisible thorns spread out into a large net, enveloping Harald from above.
"A mere human actually…" Harald's eyes showed anger.
His arm muscles suddenly bulged, and violent Haki surged like a tide.
Pfft!
The next moment, Harald forcibly sent Sommers flying with immense power, causing the latter's chest to split open and large amounts of blood to gush out.
And as Harald's wild slash erupted, surging like a giant wave, it instantly swept away the invisible thorn net that had enveloped him.
Harald's attack did not cease. He swung his greatsword again, unleashing a gigantic slash towards Sommers from a distance.
The latter, caught in mid-air, had no time to dodge. So, he simply stopped moving, letting the slash cut him as if giving up.
What Harald found strange was that the other two Knights present had not intervened or ganged up during the entire battle, merely watching their teammate get beaten.
However, Harald had no time to ponder further. He had already moved to support the Temple Guards.
"Loki, you…"
When Harald scanned the entire scene again, he noticed that Loki had already jumped out and was fiercely battling the three CP0s.
Rumble!!!
Loki swung his great hammer, continuously summoning lightning to strike.
Perhaps it was because he was still injured from his battle with Kenji not long ago as the lightning he summoned at this time didn't seem to be too powerful.
At least, it wasn't as strong as when he fought Kenji earlier.
"Before you bully these big guys, you need to ask for my opinion, the strongest warrior of Elbaph." Loki sneered, continuously swinging his hammer, smashing it down again and again.
Bang! Bang!
The great hammer missed and struck the ground heavily, instantly kicking up a large amount of sparks.
"The strongest warrior of Elbaph? You?" The three CP0s dodged the hammer attacks while circling Loki, looking for an opportunity to strike.
As the two sides entangled, on the other side, the injured Temple Guards finally recovered, holding their damaged weapons and charging back towards the three Knights in the center of the temple.
"Black, go capture that prince." Figarland suddenly ordered.
"Yes, Captain." Another Holy Knight, whom Kenji didn't recognize, responded with a smile.
Then, his figure flashed, disappearing from his original spot. He was utterly gone, so much so that even Kenji couldn't sense his presence.
"This ability…" Kenji raised an eyebrow, guessing in his mind.
"Which Devil Fruit ability is it?"
"Clear-Clear Fruit? Or…?"
Just as Kenji was guessing, the next moment, the Knight named Black suddenly reappeared.
At this moment, he had already arrived above Loki's head, and his body seemed to be hidden within space, only extending his right hand to grab Loki below.
"Door-Door Fruit?" Kenji stroked his chin, then felt it wasn't quite like that.
"Hmm, perhaps the Devil Fruit has awakened?"
"This Devil Fruit ability that can pass through space is quite interesting…"
Loki seemed to sense the movement above his head. He suddenly looked up, and swung his hammer.
Boom!
A thick bolt of lightning instantly struck down. Black had no choice but to retract his arm and retreat back into the alternate dimension.
"Despicable sneak attacker, where did you run off to?" Loki was furious, searching everywhere for Black's figure.
At this moment, the three CP0s attacked again, entangling with Loki.
"?"
On the other side, Harald suddenly exclaimed, looking at Sommer's figure in the distance with a face full of shock.
Sommers, who had been lying still and taking the attacks, and should have been severely wounded with his body ripped open, now looked perfectly fine, completely unharmed from head to toe.
Even his chest, which had initially been cut open and bleeding profusely, had fully recovered from the large wound.
"Heh heh! Are you very surprised?" Sommers chuckled, waving his hand, "Don't be so shocked!"
"I can understand your feelings."
"After all, this is the domain of a god… A god cannot be killed by mortals!"
