The Human Giant



"Here is my humble abode and what do you know? It seems that everyone has already arrived and the party is about to begin." 

Regi's old body stepped outside of the carriage revealing himself to Yoze for the first time since he arrived at New Swamp Town. Immediately Yoze noticed that Regi's old body seemed to have aged a bit since a few weeks ago.

His wrinkles had deepened and his steps were shakier compared to when they first met. He even began to use a walking stick to move around.

Noticing that Yoze was examining him, Regi's old body smiled at him before continuing to walk into the three-story house where the party was located. The house was covered with birthday decorations and had paintings of when Regi was younger and filled with energy.

Not only that Yoze noticed that many of the paintings had Regi as a skinny lad and always sickly pale until there was an unexpected jump to when he was no longer sick or skinny. No, he went from a weak person to a powerful martial artist whose body radiated both health and strength even through the paintings.

"Winter, Summer, and Spring you three didn't need to make such a large cake for my birthday. I would not be able to finish all this even if you gave me several months." Regi's main body said to the three puppets who were all Blood Masters.

Yoze turned to the three Blood Masters and noticed that none of them had spiritual energy meaning that they were simply puppets. However, it seems that Regi's control over them was much higher compared to the puppets before since their faces were a bit stiff but not enough to make people notice it.

They even had various kinds of body types from Winter's strong and muscular body to the fat male puppet which Regi called Summer, and the skinny male puppet which was called Spring. The moment Regi finished his sentence his three puppets stood up and helped him sit down at the table that had a truly large fiver-tiered birthday cake.

"Nonsense, we of course had to get the best cake possible for your 106th birthday," Winter said as she expertly put on the birthday boy hat on Regi's main body.

"Plus, just look at how many guests have come to this party. We should be able to finish not only this cake but even the cake that they brought along as well." Summer said as he patted his belly before grabbing the cake in Dreyer's hand and placing it on the table.

"Come take a seat," Spring quietly muttered to himself as he grabbed a few more chairs and placed them around the table.

The display seemed almost so natural that Yoze want to applaud for such good acting. Everything from the birthday boy to the family members was puppets yet Regi controlled everything from the background with such accuracy and control that he seemed to be a great puppet master.

If this didn't show how much time and skill Regi had done to create a masterpiece then nothing would. Even though everything was fake Yoze had to admit that the party itself was fun.

If it wasn't for the fact that Regi was out to get him by using his father, Yoze wouldn't have been so determined to kill him since his father truly saw him as a friend. 

"Yoze since you are so big you should eat more to help balance everything out." Winter slapped Yoze back as she encouraged him to eat more cake.

"I currently am on a strict diet for a body cultivation method I am training in so I can't eat too much," Yoze said as he quickly denied Winter's encouragement.

"I see, " Winter looked at Yoze with surprise before giving him a final pat on the back as support before she went to chat with the others.

"This is the third time I was encouraged to eat more, is there something wrong with the food?" Yoze thought to himself as he placed the empty plate in his hand on the table.

As the party progressed, the atmosphere became warm as everyone except Yoze grew more comfortable with each other and chatted with each other. However, at the same time, Yoze felt himself becoming more alert as he felt that the lack of Regi's spiritual energy throughout the party meant that something big was coming.

"Knock Knock knock"

Suddenly, Yoze heard a knock come from the front door which drew his attention. When he looked at the door he immediately noticed Regi's spiritual energy behind the door with several others he didn't recognize.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" 

This time the knocks on the door were more forceful and snapped the other's attention out of their conversations. Dreyer, Tiki, Jewel, and Drew turned to Regi's main body with confused looks in their eyes.

"Did you invite more guests?" Regi's main body also displayed a confused look on his face as he asked Winter.

"No, I didn't invite anyone else but let me check to see who is knocking," Winter frowned as she got up from her chair and walked to the front door. 

"Bang!"

Just as she was about to open the door to see who it was, the door shattered due to being slammed open by a heavy kick. Before Winter seemed to come to her senses she was assaulted by the smell of blood and was covered in a blood mist.

The blood mist rapidly spread throughout the house and covered everyone under heavy pressure. The pressure was so high that Yoze saw that his father had fainted while Regi's main body pretended to faint as well.

As for Tiki and Dreyer even though they hadn't become third-rate martial artists yet their strengthened bodies and extra large amount of spiritual energy as the support they managed to remain conscious.

Jewel on the other hand managed to resist the heavy pressure from the blood mist with no issues. If anything she seemed to be as comfortable as when the blood mist wasn't there.

Seeing that Regi had finally started his plot, Yoze immediately went to take action as he quickly stopped his father's body from collapsing to the ground and held him close.
