Chapter 103: There’s no way I can stop!

I was utterly shocked by the performance of my two kids, and the thought crossed my mind that their incredible talent likely traced back to their father.

Perhaps the one who toyed with this body was some extraordinary genius? Or a dominant figure ruling a region?

For a moment, I couldn’t help but think this, but I quickly pulled my thoughts away from the kids’ father and back to reality.

So what if their father was some supreme being? I was still just a pitiful soul, used once and discarded—probably the last thing he expected from that one night was that I’d end up pregnant.

Besides, even if I begged now, their father likely wouldn’t show up here to save me.

I took a few deep breaths, pressing one hand against the bleeding wound on my forehead, then rallied my focus to keep controlling the stone giant as it charged forward.

Nana Lu probably got hit by the two fireballs from the egg babies, caught off guard—after all, she likely thought those tiny fireballs posed no threat, but when they swelled and exploded just like mine, giving her a huge surprise, she probably didn’t have much room to dodge.

Still, I didn’t expect the egg babies’ power to actually harm her.

If they could make her look a bit disheveled and buy even a sliver of time, that was already good enough.

“…Stop right there!!!”

A moment later, Nana Lu’s furious roar echoed again, and from her voice, I could tell the attack had done limited damage.

“As if I’d stop!”

I gritted my teeth, urging the stone giant to keep charging forward—

In the next moment, I felt a wave of danger closing in fast.

It seemed Nana Lu wasn’t holding back anymore… her next attacks might be aimed at completely shattering my stone giant! No more chances for it to recover!

Sensing the overwhelming rage coming from behind, the thought hit me.

A prey that should’ve been easily caught had escaped, and in the process, made her look utterly pathetic—this would undoubtedly enrage Nana Lu.

…Could my stone giant withstand her furious strike?

The question flashed through my mind, and after a brief assessment… the answer was, of course, no.

If Nana Lu struck with full force, my stone giant would collapse instantly.

Forged Bronze, Skilled Silver, Radiant Gold—these were rough classifications for warriors, and within each tier, there were varying levels of strength.

The stone giant had Gold-tier strength, true, but it was only at an ordinary Gold level… If it were the vampire swordsman I encountered back in Blackglow City, I could guarantee that with full mental energy and plenty of fireballs, I could control the stone giant to beat him senseless. Even a noble squad could keep him suppressed.

And if it was that dark elf with the greatsword from earlier, I could force him to retreat, and a noble squad, without other dark elves around, could probably hold their own against him.

But Nana Lu now was far stronger than either of those Gold-tier foes—a noble squad of five would be like ants or cannon fodder before her.

“Hoo—”

“Here it comes!”

I was thinking about how to counter Nana Lu’s next move, but she gave me no time. After just a few short breaths, an intense sense of crisis surged in my heart!

“…Reinforce!”

I clenched my teeth and made a snap decision—I poured my remaining mental energy into reinforcing the stone giant!

Attacking as a counterstrike was a good option, but right now, protected by the stone giant, I couldn’t even see Nana Lu’s exact position. Plus, after the egg babies’ attack, she’d likely be even more wary of me.

…The dragon’s roars came from nearby! In such a short time, the dragon probably hasn’t gone far!

If I could withstand just two more of Nana Lu’s attacks and mix into the chaos of the battlefield… I’d be in the clear!

So, right now, I chose defense over attack!

“Boom!”

The moment I finished reinforcing the stone giant, Nana Lu’s attack slammed into it like a massive hammer, the immense impact shaking me so hard I felt dizzy and disoriented.
