The best territory designer of all time - Episode 70
70fury. fugitive and enemy (2)
“Hamang!”
Tuoang-!
A huge water balloon, no, Hamangi came flying in..
Hit the side of the Giga Titan..
Grumpy!
It was a sea mang that had swallowed a lot of sea water and swelled to a large size..
It weighed hundreds of tons..
Of course, it was nothing compared to the weight of the Giga Titan, which weighed 2,500 tons..
Nevertheless, it was quite possible to stagger him for a moment due to an unexpected attack..
Grumble?
Giga Titan's legs took an unintentional step..
I had to stumble to avoid falling, like someone who was hit in the side by a flying exercise ball while tap dancing..
That stumble saved the life of guard number 23..
Kwaaang-!
“Huh!”
23The leg that was trying to step on the first guard was pushed several meters to the side..
It broke the entire rock and dug deep into the ground..
The fragments hit the guard post..
But in the end, the guard was not hurt..
Countless fragments flew towards him..
It was because there was someone who blocked the fragments..
“Lie down!”
“……!”
A shadow blocks the guard in front of the guard with a shout..
I thought he was lifting something with a sharp end..
I thought he was wielding that object flashily..
In an instant, sparks flew everywhere..
Kakakakakang!
A series of flashes that momentarily light up the darkness..
Through the flash of light, the guard could see clearly..
‘shovel?’
someone was swinging a shovel.
He was holding the shovel handle wide with both hands, holding a strange posture I had never seen before..
But that movement was no joke..
Like the arrowhead of a master archer hitting the target.
I removed every single flying rock fragment..
I hit it in the air, blocked it, threw it away, and threw it away without hesitation..
‘What is that... … It's like a shield with a handle..’
That was the impression of the guard..
Eventually, the man holding the shovel looked back..
“Are you okay?”
“Ah, hey, I…….”
“You look healthy. Please follow me.”
The man, Lloyd, slung his shovel over his shoulder and gestured..
The guard immediately ran after him..
“Uh, where are we going??”
“Where is it? Running away.”
“yes?”
“Didn't you hear? Running away.”
Lloyd answered as if it were obvious..
The guard’s expression hardened..
“I can't run away. We must protect this way..”
“You won't be able to protect it..”
“Still, you have to keep it.”
“You don't have to keep it..”
“yes? what is that…….”
“He will protect this place..”
Lloyd ran quickly and pointed to one side..
The guard's eyes naturally followed the fingertips..
and was able to find.
Flames rising everywhere due to an explosion in an ammunition depot.
Amid the flames, the silver-haired knight, Haviel, stood tall..
All he got out of the way was a sword.
But his appearance was so confident.
Even when facing a monster dozens of times bigger than himself, he didn't even flinch..
No, rather, he raised his sword and aimed it at the monster..
And kicked the ground.
Paaaat!
It ran like a gale.
jumped over the rock.
I broke through the burning flames.
In front of him was the eleventh leg of the Giga Titan..
passed by the bridge.
Javiel's sword became a flash of light and swept across the bridge..
Squeak! kacang!
A spark flew.
A small scratch was carved into the end of the Giga Titan's leg..
One of Haviel's eyebrows twitched as he retrieved the sword..
‘It wasn't cut down?’
I thought I'd cut at least half of it..
It was a slightly unexpected result..
‘once again.’
Manahat's mana rippled..
Triple circle increases rotational force.
Haviel's movements became faster..
Tspapot!
Faster than the Giga Titan's gaze can follow.
I delved into the monster's blind spot..
jumped up.
I stepped on his leg.
I kicked up and jumped even higher..
There was a monster's leg joint there..
It was an area where the shell's defense seemed to be relatively weak..
‘Inhale!’
Haviel's sword flashed..
It split the space diagonally and rushed towards the Giga Titan's leg joints..
However, although it split the space, it could not split the monster's shell..
Kwaaang!
“……!”
The sword that used the blast bounced back..
Surprise appeared in the silver-haired knight's eyes as he was bounced back by the force of reaction..
Lloyd, who ran away early and looked back, frowned..
‘That guy and that, I told him not to fight..’
My heart was pounding all over..
Suddenly, something from earlier came to mind..
♣
“Okay, that's it! Oh, bell?”
“Bell?”
“Come on eat this.”
“droplet?”
“It's a blue sunflower seed. Quickly before that monster catches my eye.”
Lloyd held out a blue sunflower seed to Baulgi..
It was right after I crossed the sea on the bell..
So we made it through the waves and arrived at the shore safely..
He first reduced the size of Baulgi..
I looked around quickly..
“What are your plans from now on?.”
Javiel asked with a serious look..
Lloyd responded as if it was obvious..
“Anyway. I have to hide.”
“yes?”
Javiel's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled..
“When you say hide, do you mean to launch a surprise attack??”
“no.”
“then?”
“Why do you do something like a surprise attack? I have to hide.”
“yes?”
“Were you planning on fighting that monster??”
“Of course-”
“Arthur. And then you just die.”
Lloyd took off his wet and heavy formal coat and threw it away..
He said it as if he didn't understand the situation in which this debate was taking place..
“This is not our city. Besides, there will be an army in this city too. But why do we have to fight with guns on our backs, or even swords?.”
“Of course…….”
“Sense of justice, something like that??”
Lloyd tilted his head..
The wrinkles between Javiel's eyebrows deepened..
“Then what did you shout to the count from the sailboat earlier?.”
“Shouting?”
“Didn’t you answer the Count’s question about what to do from now on like this? 'I'll go and see'.”
“uh. I shouted like that.”
“But you don't want to take responsibility for that cry?.”
“I just said I was coming here, I didn't say what I was going to do after that.?”
“…….”
“That's right. So from now on, what does it matter whether I hide here or not? Why do I have to risk my life for someone else's business?.”
“But Lloyd.”
“Do you think I'm Superman??”
“yes? What is Superman?…….”
“Or do you think I'm a hero who will save the world??”
“…….”
Of course it wasn't.
Lloyd had never thought of himself like that..
he wasn't superman.
He wasn't a hero with movie-like performances..
‘I'm just a person who wants to live comfortably and quietly for the rest of my life after paying off my debts..’
He is just a young man who lives hard every day for that goal..
Just to win one more project.
To raise money like that.
I'm just an ordinary person who works hard every day.
“But fighting a monster the size of a building like that? That makes sense?”
It was a monster that blew a large statue hundreds of meters away with one blow..
Destroyed five sailing ships with one body slam..
He was a guy who didn't even flinch even after being hit by dozens of shells..
Let's fight such a monster.
If I could, of course I would..
But I never thought it was possible.
To be honest, I was scared..
I couldn't even think of it.
It breaks my heart to think of the citizens who will be harmed by that monster, but it was still impossible..
Likewise, to Lloyd, saying 'Let's fight against that monster' sounded the same as saying 'Let's commit suicide together.'.
That's why.
“Let me be clear, I have no intention of fighting that guy. So I said the right thing to the Count and got out of the sailboat, and from now on I'm going to find a safe place nearby and hide. Until this chaos calms down.”
“So what do you plan to do after the chaos calms down?.”
“What can I do? I have to get construction costs from the Count..”
“…….”
“Once you get the construction cost, the work is over. I know. It's mean. But I can't help it. There's nothing you can do. What more should I do here? What on earth can you do?.”
“…….”
Lloyd speaks as if there is nothing he can do..
Javiel's gaze toward Lloyd became cold..
Even the responses that come out of my mouth have become much colder..
“Was this kind of person, Lloyd??”
“what?”
“I was disappointed.”
That was it..
Javiel turned around..
drew the sword.
Podongi and Bangul, who were watching the argument without knowing what to do, asked Hamangi..
“Are you willing to fight with me??”
“Podong!”
“Bell!”
“Hamang!”
All three phantom species nodded together..
A faint smile appeared on Javiel's lips..
“great. Then let's go.”
“kiss! room! under!”
Paaaat!
Javiel ran holding the three phantom species..
The back quickly receding away.
A message emerged beyond that image..
Ding dong.
[Javiel Asrahan is deeply disappointed in you..]
[Javiel Asrahan's affinity for you has decreased by -5..]
[Current relationship with Javiel Asrahan : +1]
[The intimacy level with Javiel Asrahan has been lowered by 1 level from ..]
[Relationships with key characters have deteriorated somewhat, but there is no RP forfeiture as a result..]
[RP you currently own : 1901]
“…….”
Apparently, Javiel seemed very angry this time..
Lloyd bit his lip..
‘driving me crazy.’
I hated not only myself, but also Haviel fighting that monster..
Of course, I knew well that Javiel was strong..
But now this is a situation I don't remember..
A novel you read: Iron Blooded Knight.
In that novel, Javiel never fought against the Giga Titans..
Moreover, the current Javiel is not a sword master like in the novel..
Although he possesses the Triple Circle, strictly speaking, he is still only a Sword Expert advanced level..
This means that if you are unlucky, you may meet an unexpected and vain end while charging for justice..
‘That doesn't work.’
I didn't want to lose Javiel like that..
Because he's pretty?
Of course it wasn't.
‘The reason is simple. 'Cause he's the most useful guy!’
This is the guy who will become his biggest asset in the future..
He is a talented person who will become a sword master in the future and support the territory..
Moreover, he was an extremely capable heavy construction equipment operator right now..
How comfortable was quarrying thanks to blasting?.
Were there any worries about drilling a hole in the ground?.
‘Plus, even labor costs are free.!’
A guy who works like a cow without complaint as long as you feed him..
I didn't want to lose such all-weather construction equipment like this..
I didn't want to throw that guy into danger..
That's why.
‘Ugh, really. I raised you with so much care!’
I grumbled dozens of times in my mind and ran after Javiel..
I tried my best to stop him somehow..
And then I ended up here..
As I got caught up in the situation, I even ended up saving guard number 23..
He ran away with the guard and jeered at Javiel..
“hey! That's enough, let's stand out.!”
“I don't like it.”
percussion!
Before I knew it, Javiel had landed on the other side and was running side by side in the same direction..
I refused as if it was natural..
A tendon appeared on Lloyd's forehead. shouted loudly.
“hey!”
“yes.”
“Are you a pervert? Do you have a fetish for some kind of unsalable hero?!”
“yes?”
“Yes what! Was I wrong? I think you can stop that just by doing this now.?”
“I don't know about that. but-”
Sigh.!
Javiel, who was running at full speed, stopped..
turned around.
A huge monster chasing us.
Giga Titan's overwhelming toes falling down.
I swung my sword as if fighting against it..
A blast was fired straight ahead..
Kwaaang-!
Javiel's body was struck by a violent shock wave. I was pushed back nearly 20 meters. I barely regained my balance and my eyes burned brightly..
“If I don't fight, I don't think there will be anyone to stop it..”
A voice that is soft but clear and carried by mana.
“omg.”
I guess who isn't the main character of the novel?.
Sense of justice and foolishness are at a critical level at this point..
But there was no time to blame it..
I didn't have time to persuade him any further..
“hey! damage!”
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Was it annoying that Javiel kept resisting by using blasting?.
Giga Titan launched a full-scale attack on Javiel..
It swings its main weapon, a club-like front foot..
Kwaaang!
Javiel quickly dodged away..
However, the front clubs rushed towards Javiel one after another without any time to rest..
Wedge, Kwaang! Quack quack!
Every time the club hit the ground, the ground split and the rocks turned into powder..
Tremendous shock waves and debris shook the area..
Each time, Javiel narrowly escaped..
At the same time, we got further and further away from this side..
I guided the Giga Titan to that direction..
It seemed like he was worried that he would be caught up in the attack against him..
‘That stupid guy!’
He was openly attracting aggro..
No matter how I looked at it, he looked like a guy trying to die..
So my heart pounded even more..
‘I thought this was going to happen so I told myself to hide instead of fighting..’
But now it's too late to take it out.
I had to do something.
Otherwise, Javiel will suffer..
If you are unlucky, you may also get the 1+1 set menu..
‘It can't be like that..’
Lloyd shook his head vigorously..
I tried to stay calm..
‘To overcome this situation, first start with on-site analysis..’
I wiped the beads of sweat from my eyes..
I rolled my eyes quickly..
I organized my thoughts neatly..
‘First of all, the biggest problem is that Javiel can't hit the guy..’
Javiel's slash literally cuts through steel..
But the sword attack wasn't working..
It was because of the Giga Titan’s thick shell..
‘It looks exactly like a mantis shrimp. Or a crayfish with club paws.’
shellfish.
The problem was its unique hard and tough skin..
‘If we can get through that, Javiel might be able to do something..’
Lloyd looked at the rampaging body of the Giga Titan..
But the night sky was so dark.
Moreover, no matter how much I looked, it was difficult to see where Giga Titan was thin and fragile..
‘Oh, if it were rocks or the ground, we could have measured all the places where the ground was thin.…….’
I was filled with regret..
Then suddenly my mind lit up.
‘uh? wait for a sec.’
Lloyd, who had been sighing, paused..
Suddenly, a new idea occurred to me.
A succession of ideas and thoughts flashed explosively..
survey.
Skill to understand the ground.
Skill to determine whether the ground is strong or weak.
Thanks to the option, it is a sweet skill that can detect all properties up to 5 meters deep..
‘But does that apply to that guy too??’
I wondered if something might happen..
Measuring a living organism?.
It was something I had never tried before..
I never had any expectations that it would work out.
But if it happens?
If so, nuclear gain.
Even if it doesn’t work, just stop.
You have to lose to get your money's worth..
‘Let's give it a try. survey!’
It was out of anticipation..
Lloyd tightened his eyes..
I activated my surveying skill and looked up at the Giga Titan..
Tsutsutsutsutsu!
[Start scanning.]
Along with the incredible message, data like map cores began to appear from various parts of the Giga Titan's body..
