The only path left—was confrontation.
Ethan clenched his teeth, thrusting his Legion Arm toward the giant's face.
The arm trembled as two metallic plates extended outward—left and right—like a bow drawn to release its arrow.
With everything he had, Ethan drove his strike forward ...
Unleashing the explosive stake point-blank.
BOOOOOOOM!!
A deafening explosion erupted.
Flames burst outward. Sparks scattered violently. Thick smoke engulfed the point of impact.
Rotten flesh and shattered bone were blown apart in every direction—
Revealing the giant's body… now headless.
It collapsed instantly.
Dead in a single strike.
But Ethan did not escape unscathed.
The force of the explosion hurled him backward ...
Slamming him violently against the wall of a nearby building before he crashed down to the ground.
A pained groan escaped him as his mind struggled to keep consciousness intact.
He tried to stand—
Only to feel his entire body scream in agony from the impact.
