While the hybrid giant inherited some of the giant's powerful physique, it also lost many of the wizard's abilities, especially those magics that directly affect the body, such as shapeshifting and Apparition.
The power of bloodline can only be described as having both gains and losses, but this "loss" may cause the two of them to die here!
But who can save them?
Mrs. Maxim gritted her teeth in resentment.
She was "so young," and there were so many things she hadn't done yet; she didn't want to die here like this.
So she immediately said, "Let's go! If we don't leave now, it will really be too late!"
With that, she turned and ran along the mountain path into the depths of the ridge.
Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then followed.
The two men's actions immediately attracted the attention of the giants.
They let out a roar and then swarmed after them, their heavy footsteps echoing through the valley.

Chapter 471 Burning Cloud Technique
In the dead of night, a thrilling chase is unfolding in the Ural Mountains.
Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim, with their keen intuition and excellent escape skills, managed to outmaneuver their pursuers for most of the night.
However, with only two of them, and facing the encirclement and pursuit of numerous giants and Death Eaters, they were ultimately unable to completely escape.
Finally, they were completely surrounded in a narrow mountain gully.
Immediately, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
The flashes of magic and the roars of giants intertwined, turning the once silent mountain forest upside down.
Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim fought valiantly, but the enemy outnumbered them and they gradually found themselves overwhelmed.
Seeing that he was about to take down the two men, McNeil revealed a sinister smile.
He dodged Hagrid's Disarming Charm by sidestepping it, then swung his wand in a strange arc through the air.
Hagrid's heart tightened; he had never seen such evil magic before, and an ominous premonition welled up inside him.
Sure enough, McNeil unleashed a terrible curse.
Hagrid thought the attack was aimed at him, but the magical spark flew towards Mrs. Maxim at an unexpected angle.
However, Lady Maxime, who was standing slightly to Hagrid's side, had just stopped several giants who were trying to rush forward and was busy parrying the attacks of two Death Eaters. She was completely unaware of this insidious sneak attack.
Hagrid was horrified at the sight, and his Ironclad Charm was unable to stop the invasion of the red light.
At this critical moment, he leaped to the side with unprecedented speed, standing without hesitation in front of Madame Maxim, blocking the curse of 757.
The red light instantly spread across Hagrid's body, completely enveloping him.
Within the ball of light, Hagrid's eyes were wide open in fury, his body was covered in blood, and his mouth opened and closed repeatedly but could not utter a sound.
He was like a wild beast caught in a trap, struggling with all his might to break free, but to no avail.
"No, Hagrid—"
Mrs. Maxim let out a heart-wrenching roar, swinging her wand with astonishing speed, aiming it directly at the culprit, McNeil.
Her eyes blazed with fury, and her face was contorted with extreme rage.
"[Thunderous Explosion]!"
She chanted the incantation aloud, and a powerful surge of magical energy shot from the tip of her wand, heading straight for McNeil.
Mrs. Maxim finally couldn't resist and began to use powerful dark magic.
The Death Eaters' spells flew towards her from all directions, but at this moment, Madam Maxim had given up on defense. Apart from the Killing Curse, she ignored the other Death Eaters' spells and relied entirely on her physical body to withstand them.
She had only one thought in her mind—to avenge Hagrid!
McNeil was startled by the female half-giant's imposing presence. He let out a strange cry, rolled to the ground, and narrowly avoided the attack.
The Explosion Curse flew over his head, struck a rock, and blasted two unfortunate Death Eaters away.
Undeterred by her missed attack, Mrs. Maxim swung her wand again, unleashing another Shattering Charm at McNeil.
McNeil was horrified when he saw this and turned to run, trying to avoid the deadly attack.
However, the [Powder Shattering Curse] was extremely fast and caught up with him in the blink of an eye.
Just then, he transformed into black smoke and used [Phantom Shift] to dodge the fatal blow.
The Shattering Spell pierced through the black smoke and struck a giant nearby.
The giant cried out in pain, clutching his calf as he collapsed to the ground.
Surprisingly, although the giant's lower leg was almost broken, he did not suffer a fatal injury.
The giants are so physically strong that even powerful dark magic cannot cause them much harm.
Seeing this, Mrs. Maxim's heart sank.
She knew that her magic could only temporarily hinder these giants; in fact, she had no way to deal with them at all.
Coupled with the attacks from the Death Eaters, she gradually felt overwhelmed. Her magic power was greatly depleted, and her body began to show signs of fatigue.
Hagrid, struck by McNeil's curse, was suffering unimaginable pain; his skin began to crack and bleed, and his face was contorted in agony.
While fending off the Death Eaters' attacks, Mrs. Maxim desperately tried to cast any spells she could think of to dispel the dark magic on Hagrid.
McNeil used Apparition to dodge the Shattering Curse.
The Shattering Curse struck a giant, nearly breaking his leg and causing him to cry out in pain while clutching his leg, but ultimately it didn't even result in serious injury.
Given the giants' physiques, even powerful dark magic couldn't cause them much damage, and Lady Maxim had no way to deal with them.
Adding to the siege by the Death Eaters,
Mrs. Maxim was about to collapse.
Meanwhile, Hagrid, struck by McNeil's curse, is experiencing unspeakable pain.
His skin began to crack, bleeding, and his face became so distorted that he was almost unrecognizable.
Mrs. Maxime is in grave danger. She not only has to fend off the Death Eaters' frenzied attacks, but also race against time to try and cast every spell she knows to dispel dark magic on Hagrid.
Her heart was filled with helplessness and despair, but her unwavering will sustained her and prevented her from giving up easily.
A barrage of spells rained down on Mrs. Maxim, who dodged them nimbly while wielding her wand in retaliation.
However, the giants brought by the Death Eaters began to swarm towards her, wielding huge stones and axes, roaring as they charged at the lone witch.
To make matters worse, some cunning Death Eaters launched a sneak attack from behind Mrs. Maxim.
They held their wands menacingly, grinning maliciously, as if they already foresaw victory.
Beams of dark magic shot from their wands, aimed at Madame Maxim.
Mrs. Maxim was overwhelmed, struggling to fend off attacks from all sides, but ultimately she could not completely avoid them.
A Death Eater suddenly unleashed a purple spell, its brutal magic stretching and twisting through the air before striking Mrs. Maxim hard.
She felt a tremendous force violently push her into the air, and then she lost her balance.
As she fell backward to the ground, her heart was filled with despair.
However, at that moment, a wizard dressed in an Auror uniform and wearing a bird-beak mask appeared before Madam Maxim like a savior.
As he waved his wand, a terrifying red cloud covered an area of several dozen meters around him.
As he waved his wand, the surrounding air seemed to ignite, and a bright red cloud of mist rapidly spread out, covering an area of dozens of meters around.
The red clouds were neither clouds in the sky nor sand on the ground, but were formed by the condensation of intense fire elements, resembling a burning sea of clouds.
[Burning Cloud: 8th Ring Evocation, creates a swirling cloud of white-hot ash that inflicts Pyro damage on anything within it.]
This was the first time Levin had used an 8th-level spell in public since reaching wizard level 15.
As the billowing cloud of white-hot ash formed in an instant, the Death Eaters and giants within it felt as if they were enveloped in an unbearable heat, as if they were engulfed in flames. Their clothes, skin, and even bones were instantly incinerated to ashes, and their cries of agony rose and fell, echoing through the night sky.
However, amidst this terrifying burning cloud, Levin and the two half-giants seemed to be protected by an invisible force, remaining completely unharmed.
The terrifying clouds seemed to have eyes, circling around them without causing them any harm.
This is the role that Levin plays as a member of the Arcane Master school.
As Mrs. Maxim gazed at the magnificent scene, a sense of awe welled up within her.
She had never seen such powerful magic, nor such precise control over magic.
Where did this incredibly powerful mage come from?
As the red mist gradually dissipated, everything around returned to calm.
The seven or eight giants that had surrounded Hagrid and Lady Maxim had fallen to the ground, turning into piles of black charcoal.
The five Death Eaters who got too close suffered an even more gruesome death; their bodies were completely burned to ashes in the flames, leaving only two pools of black ash.
A cool breeze blew by, and the black ash drifted gently in the air like feathers.
In the aftermath of the raging crimson cloud, the giants closer to the rear and a few Death Eaters further away narrowly escaped the deadly burning of the Cloud Burning spell.
These giants, having been close to the edge of the magic, managed to escape the terrifying area in time, and thanks to their own formidable physical strength, they barely managed to save their lives.
However, even so, they still suffered considerable trauma.
His body was charred black, and his exposed skin was covered with scorch marks and blisters. He was convulsing and groaning in pain on the ground.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of burnt flesh, which was nauseating.
Just as the giants were struggling in pain, seven or eight more Aurors dressed in the same manner appeared.
They swiftly surrounded the remaining Death Eaters and giants from all directions, their wands gleaming with magical light, ready for battle.
Further away, a group of giants gradually gathered around, each holding a huge iron weapon, clearly under the command of the Aurors.
Chapter 472 Slavery Contract
Seeing the tragic state of their companions and the approaching Aurors, the remaining Death Eaters' astonishment quickly turned into panic as those massive giants charged straight at them.
