300

Giant King Gias trembled at the familiar aura he felt from within Gardstron.

‘How is it that the great one’s will can be felt beyond those detestable walls!’

Giant King Gias was a legion commander who revered Erebos more than anyone else.

Tartaros’s supreme commander.

A more loyal subordinate of Erebos than even Hel Kaiser, the Overlord King.

Though usually more cautious than anyone, he was also one who transformed into a more aggressive personality than anyone when it came to Erebos’s commands.

This expedition too was because there had been Erebos’s command to destroy Gardstron.

Gias, who had come to invade Gardstron leading all his legions, could not help but receive a great shock.

The moment he warped to the vicinity of Gardstron, he sensed the presence of a legion commander with the same power as himself.

The fact that there was another version of himself made Gias feel strong doubt.

‘Is attacking Gardstron truly the right thing to do!’

The absolute god’s command.

However, the impossible situation of there being another version of himself was enough to make Gias harbor great suspicion.

In the midst of this, he felt Erebos from Gardstron.

To Gias, this was tantamount to a divine oracle.

-My legion! God calls for us!

Groooooooooooooo-!

With Gias’s ecstatic cry, the legion began charging fiercely toward Gardstron.

It was when Gias too was about to charge to bring down Gardstron’s walls.

Flash-!

A golden flash illuminated.

Along with it, one beastman appeared in Gias’s sight.

-Detestable Arron! Do not block my path!

Hatred rose in Gias’s eyes.

Risinass at the forefront, Kail, Luna, Arron, Dweno.

These five heroes were hateful ones who had defeated various legion commanders and defied god’s will.

At first, he had thought of them as merely bothersome obstacles.

But they grew stronger with each battle they fought.

By now, they had grown into mighty beings who might overturn the tide of the dying world.

Hope.

From Gias’s position as a legion commander of Tartaros, they were truly among those he most wanted to eliminate.

Groooooooo!

Gias raised his hand.

Along with it, a massive greatsword as large as Gias’s body revealed itself.

-Disappear!

Gias roared and thrust down his sword.

Swoosh-!

A chilling sound echoed as it cut through space.

Demon Artifact.

A masterpiece created by Gias, who was also Tartaros’s greatest blacksmith.

A slash bursting forth from a sword filled with hatred and despair that had drunk the blood of countless lives.

Gias was certain that this strike, putting forth all his soul’s power, would erase the insignificant beastman before his eyes from this world without leaving even a trace.

“You’re terrified!”

What Arron’s eyes saw in that fleeting moment was endless fear.

Gias sneered at Arron.

Clench-!

Arron gritted his teeth and raised his sword.

Brave.

A sword made by Dweno and given to Arron, bearing the name of courage.

Flash-!

As Arron swung his sword, golden aura burst forth.

Kugagagagagagagang-!

Arron’s aura neutralized the Giant King’s dark magic.

Clang-!

Arron was sent flying.

But Arron wasn’t the only one who retreated.

The Giant King staggered backward.

-You!

The Giant King’s eyes flashed as he looked at Arron getting back up.

Along with Gias’s roar, powerful fear bound Arron.

Not just fear.

All manner of curses poured down on Arron in an instant.

Powerful curses that could kill even mighty heroes in a single moment.

But…

“Kruuuuuuuuuuuung!”

Arron let out a roar.

A wolf’s howling echoed in all directions.

The legion that had been about to attack the foolish beastman who had intruded into the middle of the battlefield flinched- and retreated.

-What disgraceful behavior is my Giant King’s legion displaying! Execute this pathetic coward!

Gias let out an angry shout.

It was when the legion was about to attack Arron.

“I will protect Gardstron.”

Will dwelt in Arron’s eyes.

“Because that place is the hope of many people.”

-Kuhahahahahaha!

At Arron’s words, Gias burst into mad laughter.

-What can you do alone? Risinass, Kail, Luna, Dweno. Who is there now who can help you? What can a coward like you do alone?

“Yes, you’re right. I can’t do anything by myself.”

Arron answered with a trembling voice.

But when he put strength into the hand gripping his sword, the trembling stopped.

“But when I received this sword, I made a vow. To have courage even when afraid.”

Gooooooo-!

An extraordinary aura rippled from Arron’s body.

“To fight for everyone.”

Dense killing intent burst forth from Arron’s body.

The legion was terrified by it.

The current Arron was a predator and a slaughterer who would massacre everything before his eyes.

-That pathetic sword… it’s a sword made by Dweno.

Gias’s eyes flashed.

-If you gain courage by holding that dull sword… I’ll break that dull sword for you.

Kugugugugung-!

Dark magic burst forth from Gias’s body.

A fierce light flashed in his eyes.

-You will not see the sun rise today.

“That damn sun, wouldn’t it be better not to see it forever if possible?”

-Who are you?

Chilling killing intent dwelt in Gias’s eyes.

Thud-!

Leo stood beside Arron.

-Where did Dweno go and why did someone like you come?

“Dweno is busy right now. So I’ll take care of you and Arron.”

-What can you possibly do with such a coward?

Gias sneered.

Leo sneered back at Gias.

“Aren’t you the one who’s actually afraid of that coward?”

-What?

“That’s why you’re bringing a whole horde of your pathetic subordinates to attack just one person, isn’t it?”

-Cheap provocation.

Gias smiled coldly.

-I’ll respond to that provocation. However, thanks to that cheap provocation, those insignificant things in that city will have their lives cut short much sooner.

Murderous intent gathered in Gias’s eyes.

-Legion! Destroy Gardstron!

The legion moved simultaneously with the Giant King’s command.

At the same time, Leo’s figure disappeared.

Whoooosh-!

Moving fast as the wind, Leo instantly appeared before the legion’s vanguard.

Leo gripped the spear in his hand tightly.

“Ifta.”

Flare-!

Crimson flames flickered at Leo’s call.

Kwagagagagak!

The flames engulfed one of the Gigantes at the legion’s front, turning it to ash.

The legion’s advance stopped.

-…!

The Giant King widened his eyes and looked at the one standing in the air.

-What are you!

He had thought if anyone could stop the legion’s advance, it would be Dweno.

He couldn’t help but be shocked at this completely unexpected situation.

“Me?”

Leo curled up the corner of his mouth.

“Someone who came to clean up you guys along with that trash in Gardstron over there.”

-Where do you get off spouting such nonsense!

Enraged at Leo’s insult to Erebos, Gias raised his hand.

An extradimensional space opened and a spear of tremendous size was summoned.

Thwok-!

Gias threw the spear at Leo.

The spear flew toward Leo at an invisible speed.

Leo raised a water shield.

Swoooosh-!

A curtain of water was created in the air.

A water shield that looked beautiful but fragile.

Thwang-!

But its defensive power exceeded imagination.

The spear Gias threw bounced off with a tremendous sound.

Though he took no damage, terrifying physical force struck Leo.

Leo crashed to the ground at tremendous speed.

Thoom-!

But the ground absorbed the impact like a sponge.

He had manipulated the Spirit Armor made from the Great Spirit of Earth to make the ground soft.

“What a real monster.”

Leo stuck out his tongue at the overwhelming physical force.

-You’re the one who seems more like a monster?!

-How can you handle us Great Spirits so perfectly!

Ifta, the Great Spirit of Fire, and Erham, the Great Spirit of Water, shouted in shocked voices.

It was already shocking enough that Leo, who claimed to be Risinass’s partner, had summoned them and armed himself with Spirit Armor.

On top of that, Leo was handling the Great Spirits’ power perfectly without being swayed by their immense power at all.

Leo spoke indifferently to the Great Spirits’ outcries.

“Not as much as Risinass though.”

-Risinass is a contractor who overcame all kinds of hardships together with us. But you’re handling us perfectly despite seeing us for the first time today. Even Risinass couldn’t do that.

Leo chuckled at Silesta’s words.

“Sorry, but I’m not seeing you guys for the first time today.”

-What?

“I’m just imitating Risinass in this battle.”

Leo got up.

And looking at the approaching legion, he extended his hand.

Whoooooosh-!

A massive whirlwind was generated from Leo’s hand.

Flare-!

Huge flames erupted there.

It was a fusion of Silesta and Ifta’s powers.

Ziiiiing-!

Then, piercing through the fire tornado, a massive magic circle was generated from the Giant King’s legion side.

At the reaction of massive dark magic, Leo clenched his fist and struck it toward the ground.

Kwang-!

Kwagagagagagagagak-!

The earth surged up, creating a massive barrier.

That wasn’t the end.

Swoosh-! Crackle-!

Water seeped into the earth barrier and froze.

A use of spirits that could only be called perfect.

Watching this, Erham let out a groan.

-This really is… just like Risinass himself.

A human boy who suddenly appeared and controlled Risinass’s contracts and spiritual power.

Not only that, but he even had spirit magic skills reminiscent of Risinass.

-What exactly are you?

Kwaang-!

The barrier Leo erected was destroyed.

“My identity isn’t important right now.”

Standing before the endless legion’s advance, Leo spoke to the Great Spirits.

“What’s important now is defeating those guys.”

Kuguugugugugugugung-!

The earth shook.

A group of Gigantes was charging at the front like a massive wall.

The number of Gigantes alone looked to exceed several thousand.

‘I’ve completely left Gias to Arron.’

Now it was his turn to stop the legion.

“Depeser!”

Leo shouted urgently.

“Prepare magical bombardment!”

“Mages, prepare for bombardment!”

Whirrrrr-!

Magic circles appeared above the walls of Gardstron.

Leo looked at the legion approaching the walls.

“Should we fire?”

Leo shook his head at Depeser’s question.

“No, wait a little longer.”

At Leo’s words, Depeser kept watch over the legion.

A moment later…

Groooooooooooooo!

The Giant King’s legion lost their reason and began charging like madmen.

Not just the legion.

Gias also lost his reason and began attacking Arron like a madman.

Through Gias’s power, the Berserker’s strength, the legion was also enhanced.

Seeing this, Leo shouted.

“Now!”

“Fire!”

With Depeser’s cry, magical bombardment began from Gardstron’s walls.

Boom-! Rumble-!

In an instant, the Gigantes became piles of corpses.

But stepping over those piles of corpses, an seemingly endless advance began.

Thud! Thud! Crack! Snap-!

“Aaaahhh!”

“Attack the ones flying up to the walls first!”

Using catapults, demons climbed up the high walls.

“Defend the walls!”

Depeser shouted.

“Lord Arron and Lord Dweno are holding back the Giant King! For their sake, fight with courage!”

The cries of heroes echoed from all around.

At that moment.

Whoooosh-!

Black flames flickered from Gias’s body as he fought Arron in the distance.

Leo’s eyes widened.

‘Could it be…?’

Leo urgently looked toward the interior of Gardstron.

Whoooosh-!

Black flames soared high.

‘Erebos’s thoughts… are they enhancing Gias?’
