Sam forcefully pushed the hammer off of him and took a few steps back to get out of the range.

He used the energy vision to quickly observe the energy flow within the coat and got ready to fight back.

The quality of the fire element of the demi giant is actually quite high, even the soil below which is clearly used to the extreme heat was still charred a bit because of the flame attack.

As the giant pursued Sam, he also lunged forward and swung his blade as he halted the attack mid-air by blocking the hammer at the handle.

Even though, he was spared the impact, the flames still exploded after the contact and they surrounded Sam.

Sam's own flames are of extremely high quality and they are one of the purest fire elements to ever exist, so even if he couldn't use the element directly at the moment, he can endure a relatively inferior quality fire attack on him for quite a while.

And the energy the feather coat is also doing a great job defending him as it got hit by the flames.

The battle went on.

Sam didn't move out of the range of the hammer and stayed close to demi-giant.

And whenever demi-giant took a step back to hit him with the giant hammer, Sam blocked the hammer swing in the middle with the sword, by blocking the handle and let the flames shower him.s

The demi-giant slowly got frustrated because of Sam's movements.

He is too dexterous and his timing is too on-point for the demi-giant to catch him in on the spot.

The brute force is not helping as Sam is always managing to block the swing before it got any real momentum.

Even though Sam is not attacking and only focused on defending against the demi-giant, he still had the upper hand in the whole battle.

The thing that frustrated the Demi-Giant even more than not being able to land an attack itself is the fact that Sam is not attacking back.

He got so many openings every time Sam blocked the attack, but there was no response from the other side.

And this made the Aggressive demi-Giant take this as contempt from Sam and he started becoming crazy.

His attacks became fiercer and his body is slowly giving out a blood-red glow.

Sam frowned at the change and as the attack happened, he put a bit more energy into the sword which cut the handle into two making the hammer unusable.

But this didn't stop the demi Giant, the fire elemental energy started pouring out of him in a chaotic way and the metal handle in his arms started melting.

His eyes turned blood red and the whole skin has a dark red hue all over it.

He is covered with flames and his muscles seemed to have become leaner and denser. His state is similar to the partial elemental fusion and he slammed his fists at Sam.

Sam looked at the flaming fists and used his left hand to deflect them to the side.

But the recoil is so large that stumbled to the side which surprised him for a second, before he could get his balance back, he felt a fist punching straight at his face from the side.

The large fist made him slam on the ground and roll around. As he tried to slowly stand up, the giant appeared like a red flash and kicked him upwards making Sam launch into the air with a trail of flame following his ascent.

The giant leaped into the air and slammed his elbows on Sam's back, making him crash into the ground creating a large crater.

He then landed at the edge of the crater and started throwing flames into the pit with all he got as if he wanted to cook Sam alive.

"Elder, should we stop him?" One of the Demi's Giants asked the elder.

But the elder didn't reply, he looked at the crater with a frown as if he could see something the rest of them couldn't.

The giant became more and more aggressive by the second and started using all his energy to throwing flames into the pit and the heat in the surroundings kept on increasing with it.

The rest of the demi giants couldn't understand why he is doing so.

Because they don't know that the demi giant fighting Sam could sense that Sam is currently sitting in there with the sword in his hand. The feather coat is giving out a faint golden hue.

Only the opponent and the elder could faintly sense Sam sitting there. There are no movements of pain or suffering from him, it is almost as if he is taking the flames in as a delicacy.

After some time, Sam suddenly opened his eyes and there is a smirk on his face.

He stood up and held the sword tightly before slashing the flames that are coming at him.

The sword ray cut through the flames as it is cutting through a solid tangible object and made the demi-giant step back just dodge.

Now the crater was clearly visible to the rest.

The whole pit is completely covered with a layer of magma and Sam who is also covered with it just shook his body and the sword to get rid of it as he leaped upwards and walked towards the demi-giant.

Sam's aura changed from before. His aura is sharper than ever and it is cold like steel. The opponent had a hunch that he shouldn't let Sam near him.

So, he started throwing flames instantly.

But Sam once again swung his blade, the vertical crescent sword ray cut the flames and the two halves moved, either way, creating a path for Sam.

The Demi Giant tried to block the slash with his body, but when it neared, he immediately jumped to the side out of fear.

Sam became a whole new person and suddenly his slow walk changed into a sprint as he ran towards the Demi Giant and started attacking.

The crescent sword rays ravaged the surroundings as the demi giant tried his best to dodge, but every time, he barely managed to avoid vital injuries, but at least his skin was severed from his body for every slash that came his way.

The fight turned into a one-sided beating.

The demi-giant soon knelt down and Sam held the tip of the sword at his neck.

"This is our loss."

The elder threw in the towel and Sam turned around. Nali who watched the whole scene from the side gulped nervously as he was shocked by the whole fight.

Sam walked away from the demi giant and used the sword to carve out the same string of words near the crater.

'SAM WAS HERE.'

He then turned towards the elder and said.

"I think I lost myself a bit there. You don't have to worry about the wager. We will take our leave."

"No problem. You won fair and square. You will get what you were promised."

Sam just shrugged and didn't try to do persuade him.

He walked away and let Nali settle the wager before both of them met outside the city.

They searched for some prey and after catching something, he let Nali cook it, while he sat on the rock and closed his eyes in meditation.

He tried to connect with the feather coat again and this time, he managed to do so.

In the sea of consciousness, he could see a bridge appearing connecting him to another small consciousness.

The consciousness took the form of a small three-legged golden crow.

As it is just a bird that came out of the hatchling.

Sam couldn't help but smirk.

He created the coat decades ago and there are many instances that it almost got destroyed completely.

Every major event of his second life, this coat was a part of it.

He is really happy that he got the feather coat got a spirit.

The meal was soon finished and Sam savored every last bit of it.

After the meal is over, he took out the two pots to pick the next destination.

His journey is not going to stop anytime soon as he will explore this vast world.

As a part of this journey, he is going to a realm ruled by a special tribe.s

The Kimpurusha tribe. Also called the lion men.

They are similar to the beastmen in some ways, but they completely differentiated themselves from the rest of the beastmen as they prided themselves for not acting like beasts and solely relying on instincts.

Their facial features are a little like a lion and their muscle fibers and meridians are similar to that of a lion, but their bone structure is similar to that of a human.

That is they differentiate themselves from the beastmen who have too many similarities with the beasts except for their humanoid bodies.

Kimpurushas are similar to humans in many ways as they can create formations inscriptions, there are healers of different elements. The only thing they are superior to humans is their strong physical constitution.
