BOOM!!!
The explosion detonated right in the stone giant's chest.
The blood-red gem pulsed violently, its energy flow thrown into chaos.
The massive body staggered backward, forced to retreat several steps as the mountain beneath its feet cracked and crumbled.

Energy surged and stretched in front of him, forming into a massive light-forged longbow.
The bowstring drew taut.

Each shot landed with pinpoint precision.
Panic finally set in.
The stone giant turned to flee, trying to burrow back into the mountain.
