#195

white giant (2)

Puhuaak!

Blood like white paint burst out in all directions from the deep wound..

If the blood had been originally red, it would have been a terrible scene, but now, perhaps because the color was so foreign, it didn't even feel particularly cruel..

It's like watching a scene that has become its own mosaic..

‘That kind of thing is okay for now.!’

Heinrich, who evaded the giant's rebellious hand gesture by spinning around, swung the huge sword of light with centrifugal force..

Same spot as the one attacked earlier.

It was his Achilles heel..

[———!]

At the same time, Harley and Geos attacked the other ankle, and Isea's gravity magic was used to suppress its movements..

Immediately after encountering the giant's meaningful expression.

Heinrich and the entire hero party did their best to stop him, even if it meant taking some risks..

It's hard to deal with him as stably as before... because the reaction he showed a little while ago was unusual..

While dealing with this white giant, I realized one thing..

Of course, they were difficult to deal with due to their large size, hard skin, and overwhelming regenerative power, but if enough time was given, their strength alone would be enough to catch them..

It was quite agile for its size, but it wasn't at a level that could keep up with this one, and it didn't have any special attack methods either..

All he has is his ignorant body.

‘But the problem is that the body itself is too overwhelming..’

The attack, which borrowed enormous divine power and the power of the holy sword, was certainly inflicting significant damage on that giant..

The only problem is that its vitality is so vast that it is not very noticeable..

However, while the monster could not be finished off due to its enormous vitality, the damage to the village was gradually accumulating..

The once peaceful village was gradually destroyed, and the screams of people and livestock caught up in the aftermath echoed everywhere..

[“Saint! He's trying to escape again! Wow, not everyone has been able to avoid it yet.!”]

[“There are now limits to what can be suppressed by gravity! Because of the difference in weight class, the entire range cannot be controlled... I think it will take at least 5 minutes for it to reactivate. Ah, if I had known it would be like this, I would have studied this a little more.!”]

Gravity magic was an efficient control tool for giants who were as big as they were heavy..

If it weren't for that, we probably would have had no choice but to allow the breakthrough a long time ago..

However, due to his strong physical ability and resistance, even that seemed to have reached its limit..

‘It would have been nice if I could have focused solely on the battle, if only I had had more time.···!’

Right now I'm struggling because there are so many things to consider, but I'm confident that if we face each other head-on again, I'll definitely be able to hunt him down..

Even if Heinrich's height is only about the size of the palm of his hand, the maximum length of the lightsaber used until "Blessing: Increase" is well over 3 meters..

At that length, it was the same length as a dagger even for that giant, so it has enough killing power..

Also, Harley's battle ax was a very large weapon that could cut off a guy's fingers, and Geos' spear strike was no better than an awl..

If the guy's physical ability had been lacking even a little, the whole situation would have already been over.?

‘···In fact, it's amazing just to be able to hold on to such a big guy even for a moment in this much of a weight class difference..’

Every time he tried to ignore it and pass by, his leg got cut off, so he probably had no choice..

‘···If it gets breached even once, a catastrophe will occur in the village. There really is no way... hmm? That is?’

Suddenly, a phenomenon caught Harley's gaze..

The giant's wounds are regenerating even as he continues to fight them..

[———!]

While most of the scars left by Heinrich from the Holy Sword were at best in the stage of being sutured, the holes made by Zios were being repaired cleanly without a trace in a short period of time..

What was unexpected were the traces left behind by Harley.···.

‘Wait, now that I think about it.’

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the cross section of the huge little toe he had cut off earlier..

Its playback speed seemed to be roughly somewhere between Heinrich and Zios..

Also, the cause was clearly visible in Harley's eyes..

‘···Right. Well, that guy was also a host to madness. then···.’

It is the battle for leadership between the madness contained in his attack and the madness contained in the giant's body..

Of course, the amount used in the attack was far less than the total amount in the guy's body, so it wasn't very effective.···.

Actually, that wasn't a big problem to him..

It seemed like there was finally a breakthrough, and a vicious smile appeared on Harley's face as the corners of her mouth slowly rose..

But that was the same position for the other party..

“Pfft, no.!”

“···The magic resistance is so strong that I can't block it.···!”

The white giant finally found a breakthrough and looked to one side with a twisted smile..

***

Immediately after the White Giant appeared.

Kugugoogung Palace—!

A loud noise rang out from the outskirts of the village, and the ground continued to shake as if there had been an earthquake..

“Ouch! What on earth is that?!”

“Wow!—!”

“It's a monster! Everyone run away!”

Naturally, the nearby villagers had no choice but to scream and clamor to get as far away from the source of the commotion as possible..

It was a town with no resources, but its only advantage was that it was peaceful, as there were no monster habitats nearby..

The entire village was in such chaos that I couldn't even remember my usual daily life..

Well, it was only natural that a monster the size of a 10-story building was rampaging right around the corner..

Fortunately, the giant appeared on the outskirts of the village, and as soon as it appeared, the warrior party moved to respond, so it could be said that it ended at this point..

“Ugh—!”

“Hiccup, hiccup. Ugh...Mom···.”

“Hehehe— monster, monster···!”

And here, at Chehai's orphanage, it was the same that was in chaos..

Although there was no direct damage as Isea's magic barrier blocked the hostile energy, it was natural for her to panic as a huge monster was rampaging at close range..

“Guys! Let's calm down and evacuate calmly. Thomas, Sally? Please help me take care of the kids.!”

“Yes... Yes, Mom! Phew—Billy, Hans! Don't sit around in the corner, come this way! Hover, you check the number of people leaving at the door. I'll look around again to make sure no one is missing..”

“···Did you all hear what Mom said? She said Garnet and Sarah would go to the nursery with me and get her kids first. As for the rest, I'm doing a good job of soothing the kids so they don't cry..”

However, soon, under the leadership of Milena, Chehai's wife, the mother of the orphanage, they gradually controlled the chaos and prepared for evacuation..

Within the orphanage, as the older children, especially the mature children who were about to become independent, took care of the younger children, they were able to quickly get ready and leave the orphanage as if they had never been so confused..

And just in time.

“Milena! What about the kids? Is everyone safe??!”

Chehai, who had gone out to see off the guests, arrived at the orphanage breathing heavily..

He looked around at the crowd of children, then continued speaking with a heavy sigh..

“Phew, I'm glad... isn't it? Still, it looks like we're ready, so let's move right away. Go as far away from here as possible!”

Kugugoogung Palace—

At that moment, vibrations and explosions erupted again from the battlefield..

The shock, which was felt more clearly than when inside the building, made the children, who were struggling to keep their composure, even more agitated..

There is no point in delaying any longer..

Chehai hurriedly led the family members from the orphanage and began to leave the place..

How long has it been since we moved like that?.

He glanced in the direction of the giant to assess the situation again..

It was to move to a safer route after seeing the actions of the towering figure.···.

“······?!”

His body became stiff from the momentary chill he felt..

“···Shit, this is some kind of bullshit···?”

He then swallowed his saliva and spit out a swear word without realizing it..

Most of the time, he only wanted to use kind words in front of his children, but the words he unconsciously said were something he couldn't help..

That's right too—.

The moment he turned his head to look at the giant, didn't his eyes meet directly with the guy whose face was facing this way, even though he was in the middle of a battle with a group of heroes??

No, in fact, his eyes were still sewn up by something, so it would be absurd to say that their eyes met.···.

I guess that's not that important now..

Yes... he had a grotesquely distorted face, as if he could see something..

In this situation, where he is grinning unpleasantly while looking at the children at the orphanage..

The brief reprieve in which Chehai was frozen for a moment was also short-lived..

[———!]

With a heavy rumbling shaking all around, an overwhelming figure rushed towards them at incredible speed..

As the leg length was of a different order of magnitude, it made up its mind and attacked, and in an instant, it came right in front of the group that was taking refuge from the orphanage..

and.

“shit···!”

Kwaaang—!

From where they were, there was a loud noise, like an explosion..

***

Kwaaang—!

Dust and shock waves spread in all directions along with an explosion that shook the heavens and earth..

The earthquake, which was on a scale different from anything that had occurred so far, not only collapsed all nearby buildings, but also created countless spiderweb-like cracks in the nearby ground..

A scene of shocking destruction that is truly enormous, as if a small meteorite had fallen..

“Ugh—what is this?···?”

And Chehai opened his eyes from the tremendous shock that occurred right in front of him and looked around carefully..

The first thing they saw was a soft blue light surrounding their group, and a cloud of dust fluttering beyond it.···.

This was clearly a protective barrier that protected the village from shock waves..

“Phew, but this time I was a bit more relaxed, perhaps because I had prepared in advance. Of course, if I had been hit by something like that directly, the barrier and all that would have been crushed in an instant..”

At that time, I heard a voice right next to me that I had become familiar with after spending a while together..

When he hurriedly turned his head to look, Isea, the magician of the death squad, was holding out her staff and sighing..

“Ah, thank you for saving me.···.”

“It's not over yet. Let's take care of the kids first and then leave..”

“ah! children! Are the children safe??”

“Do not worry. I paid special attention to this barrier..”

After saying that, she waved her wand once more and magically lifted up all the children who had fainted in the back..

These simple levitation and transport spells were not a huge burden to her, no matter how many dozen they were..

“I deliberately let my wife and kids sleep. I feel like it would only be a trauma if I stayed close to a place like this..”

“···thank you I'm sure so. My heart almost dropped too... But that couldn't have been true earlier?”

He had a premonition of something and hurriedly retreated, following Isea, while glancing behind him..

Through the slowly settling dust, a gigantic figure was dimly reflected..

Something that is larger than one's own height and round like a rock..

It was the head of a giant lying on the floor..

[———!]

The giant head seemed to flinch for a moment in shock, but then spread its angry expressions everywhere..

Seeing the way he was shaking as if he was about to stand up at any moment, it certainly seemed like this wasn't the end..

Still, I thought it was true, but it was really true.···.

“Huh, indeed. It's so destructive that it only caused a fall..”

Of course, the person who created that enormous shock wave was himself, a brown giant whose entire body was white... no, he was now covered in dust..

The result was jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but the process wasn't actually all that amazing..

I just ran furiously and dived violently to the floor with that momentum..

[———!]

“Hahaha! Wow—that was a huge sound! You might feel embarrassed, but tell me to lie down for a while, buddy! Hahaha!”

Of course, it wasn't because the giant was stupid that he just fell alone..

There was a separate culprit who stepped in while the guy was off guard and caused him to hit his head on the floor..

“···harley?”

And that was also a familiar voice to Chehai..

Wasn't he Geos' colleague, a tough southern warrior whom the kids were afraid of?.

But there was something strange about the silhouette seen from where the voice was coming from..

The large head that is twice his height, lying on the ground and writhing, must belong to a giant..

What on earth is that big guy, the size of a house that is comparable in size, sitting down like a chair with his head on the floor??

“···Wow, this is my first time seeing that too. I guess that's Yongin. ...It seems a little different from what I thought.?”

Eventually, the dust cleared and the sight was fully revealed..

Like Chehai, Lee Se-ah also expressed admiration from the side..

Muscles developed beyond human limits and shiny dark red scales covering the entire body like armor..

Teeth filling the huge torn mouth and nails as sharp as blades..

Red and green eye lights burning like a lantern..

From the horns sprouting from the head to the blood-red energy rising from the whole body..

Now there are no traces of humans anywhere.—.

「The ultimate evolved life form that grew to over 4 meters in size through “physical mutation” and expressed all the dominant genetic information collected through “mutation.”.

It was the so-called ‘complete Harley’..
