663

“Graaaaaaaaah!”

Giganto roared toward the sky.

“Urgh!”

The Arhee party members clutched their ears and staggered.

Fear…!

Arga gritted his teeth and took a breath.

“Krheooooooong!”

Ar’s howling canceled out Giganto’s fear.

“Krahahahaha! There’s a spirited little one here!”

Giganto looked at Ar who had canceled his fear and grinned belligerently, then crouched down.

And charged toward Ar at tremendous speed.

Ar’s eyes flashed as she saw this.

Flash-!

Light flashed in Ar’s eyes and she immediately transformed.

“Hmm?!”

Giganto’s eyes widened at the sight.

“Transforming when it’s not even a full moon?!”

Ecstasy filled Giganto’s eyes as he cried out in shock.

“Interesting! Interesting! You look quite delicious!”

Giganto licked his lips.

“I’m going to devour you!”

“Who are you saying you’re going to devour!”

Ar’s eyes blazed as she kicked off the ground.

Ar became a golden flash and rushed toward Giganto at tremendous speed, then kicked him right in the forehead.

Kwaang-!

Giganto’s neck snapped back as if it would break.

Swoosh-! Kwagagagagagang-!

Giganto’s fist, swung while his neck was bent, devastated the surrounding area.

Ar, who had already predicted the attack and dodged, was now behind Giganto.

Whack-! Kwagagak-!

Ar kicked the back of Giganto’s head.

Giganto fell forward and his face buried into the ground.

Terrifying destructive power.

But Giganto sprang right back up.

“Krahahahahahaha! I like it! I really like it!”

Kuguugugung-!

As he raised his massive body, dirt and dust fell down.

Cal made a disgusted expression as he watched Giganto burst into maniacal laughter.

“There’s not even a bit of damage?”

“My name is Giganto! I’m the assault captain of the great Giant King’s Legion! I’ll remember your name!”

“Ar Tune. One who inherits the Hero’s will.”

“Hero? Was there someone called a Hero?”

“This bastard! You’re ignoring Lord Arron! Is that huge head of yours just for decoration!”

Excited Ar panted heavily.

“Arron? Who’s that?”

It was when Giganto looked puzzled.

“This isn’t the time for small talk, is it?”

Crackle-!

Golden lightning struck down from above.

Duran, wrapped in lightning aura all over his body, was swinging his greatsword with both hands.

Giganto swung his fist toward Duran’s greatsword that was being swung at his neck.

Bang-! Crackle-!

Lightning whirled in all directions.

Giganto’s face twisted viciously as he blocked Duran’s sword.

“You’re interesting too!”

Flash-!

His other fist, which wasn’t blocking Duran’s greatsword, swung toward Duran.

Crackle!

Lightning sparked and Duran’s body scattered.

Duran, leaving an afterimage, was already swinging his greatsword toward Giganto’s ankle.

Thunk-!

Duran’s greatsword dug into Giganto’s ankle.

Duran’s eyes twitched.

It had dug into the flesh but couldn’t cut through to the bone.

Duran frowned as his greatsword wouldn’t budge when he tried to retrieve it.

“Sharp sword.”

Giganto curled up the corner of his mouth.

“But its durability is at toy level!”

Flash-!

Giganto’s massive palm swung down with the force to crush Duran.

Kwaaaang-!

The earth shook violently.

Duran, who had dodged the attack, drew the longsword at his waist.

Giganto, who had grabbed the ground, put strength into his fist with a crack-! then opened it.

Clatter-!

Duran’s greatsword, Lightning Storm, fell down shattered to pieces by the terrifying grip strength.

“O-our country’s national treasuuuure!”

Cal clutched his head and screamed.

Lightning Storm.

It was the sword used by the first king who founded the Kingdom of Moira.

The founding king’s symbol and the Kingdom of Moira’s National Treasure No. 1.

Cal couldn’t help but cry out in shock at seeing that sword shatter before his eyes.

“Hmph. Being an antique, its durability is terrible.”

“Is that what you say when your family heirloom just broke! His Majesty won’t let you get away with this!”

“I was going to inherit it anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Wow… I sometimes envy that personality.”

Cal stuck out his tongue at the strong mental fortitude that didn’t flinch even when the kingdom’s national treasure and family heirloom shattered before his eyes.

Giganto struck his chest with a thump-! and his eyes flashed.

“My body was forged by the world’s greatest blacksmith! A body made by my father Gias himself hammering it! Before my flesh, the greatest masterpiece created by the Giant King, any blade is meaningless!”

“Hmph! The world’s greatest blacksmith isn’t Gias the Giant King, but Lord Dweno!”

When Driana snorted and responded, Giganto tilted his head.

“Dweno? What’s that?”

“You don’t know Lord Dweno, the Divine Blacksmith?! Is that uselessly big head of yours just decoration!”

“Calm down. Arga already did that one.”

Cal grabbed the shoulder of Driana, who was swinging her fists and growling.

“Strange fellows. Hero this, Divine Blacksmith that. What the hell are those things?”

Giganto sneered.

“If you don’t know, I’ll split that head open and carve it into your brain!”

With a murderous voice, someone flew toward Giganto’s head.

It was a woman with a small frame, Artion.

“Ah! Professor Artion! It’s dangerous to charge recklessly when you don’t know the opponent’s abilities!”

Cal urgently tried to stop Artion, but Artion’s eyes flashed as she shouted.

“Shut up! If blades don’t work, I’ll just beat it down with my fists!”

Whoosh-! Kwaaaaang-!

Artion’s fist struck Giganto’s forehead.

Kwagagagagagagak-!

The ground around Giganto’s feet began cracking at tremendous speed as the earth started erupting upward.

“Kueok?”

Giganto, who hadn’t even blinked at Ar’s and Duran’s attacks, staggered for a moment.

Swish-!

Thud-!

“Haaaap!”

Artion landed on Giganto’s ankle and grabbed it while letting out a battle cry.

Sway-!

Giganto lost his balance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

“Nueoeoeoeoek?!”

“Kueup?!”

The small-framed Artion began spinning Giganto around using her terrifying strength.

Ar and Duran, who were within the rotation radius, retreated in shock.

“Heuryaaap!”

Crash-! Kwagagagagagang-!

Giganto’s body, flung by centrifugal force, was miserably slammed into the ground.

“Kueuk!”

“Here I cooome! Beoeoeoek!”

“Keuhuk!”

Artion charged at tremendous speed toward Giganto who was trying to get up, ramming her head straight into Giganto’s abdomen.

Struck by Artion’s headbutt that came flying like a bullet, Giganto was sent flying.

From Giganto’s perspective, something hard the size of a palm had flown at tremendous speed and crashed into his abdomen.

“Whoo!”

Artion placed both fists at her waist as if pulling them back and exhaled through her nose.

“I… I’ve decided. From now on, I will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never talk back to Professor Artion.”

At Artion’s unimaginable prowess, Cal swallowed dry saliva and muttered, and everyone nodded.

Kugugugugugu-!

“Woohoohoohoo! It’s been so long since my blood boiled like this!”

“Huh? You’re laughing? Should I beat you up more?”

It was when Artion’s eyes flashed menacingly.

“I’ll handle this one, Professor.”

Artion glanced at Leo who had stood beside her.

“You were impressive, weren’t you?”

Seeing Leo smile and pat her head, Artion narrowed her eyes.

“Seems like the professor and student have switched places?”

“My apologies.”

“Hmph.”

Artion snorted and crossed her arms.

“I’ll command the kids while dealing with the other trash, so you make sure to handle that lump.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

Artion, having entrusted the rear to Leo, returned to her party members.

Kwoeoeoeo!

Monsters began crawling up from the tunnel that Giganto had dug.

“How do you plan to entertain me!”

Anticipation filled Giganto’s eyes.

Watching such a Giganto, Leo drew his sword.

“I might enjoy this, but you won’t.”

“Krowahahaha! I like guys with spirit! But!”

A sneer formed on Giganto’s lips.

“A mere knight cannot defeat me!”

“Because of your aura trait that nullifies aura? Night Slayer, Giganto.”

“Ho? You know my aura trait yet still dare to face me? What commendable courage!”

Splat-

“…?”

Giganto’s gaze turned to the ground.

And seeing his own massive arm writhing there, his eyes widened.

“Kueoeoeoeoeoeoeoeo!”

Giganto grabbed the cross-section of his severed arm and screamed.

Approaching such a Giganto, Leo said.

“You did give me trouble 5,000 years ago. Your ability was to nullify aura, after all. When I first met you, Arron was inexperienced too.”

Leo had defeated Giganto just before Dweno joined the Archi Party.

At that time, the Giant King’s Legion was moving their forces to attack the fortress that Dweno was guarding.

Giganto, with his ability to nullify aura, was a formidable enemy.

Moreover…

“As you said, your body was indeed Gias’s finest creation.”

His body, which no weapon could penetrate, even had powerful magic resistance with strong anti-magic properties.

Of course, Luna and Risinass were mages skilled enough to break through that magic resistance.

But there was no time to spare while blocking the Giant King’s Legion led by Giganto.

‘That was when Arron first became truly angry.’

The knights who had been moving with the Archi Party died.

At that fact, Arron was genuinely enraged.

Recalling Arron who had resented his own inexperience, Leo raised his sword.

“What the hell is that sword!”

Giganto’s face was colored with shock as he stared at the shabby longsword in Leo’s hand.

“This?”

Leo pointed Posteritas, held in his hand, at Giganto as if it were nothing special.

“Proof that Gias, that bastard, isn’t the greatest blacksmith.”

“You! Where do you get off spouting such nonsense!”

Slash-!

“Kueok!”

“Nothing’s easier to defeat than a knight who relies on powerful weapons.”

Leo, having severed the ankle, spoke indifferently.

Giganto’s terrifying aspect was his tough body that no blade could penetrate.

By the standards of that time, he was the finest creation that Gias, who produced fearsome weapons, had crafted with all his heart and soul.

But…

‘It’s meaningless before Dweno’s weapons. Dweno is the world’s greatest blacksmith, after all.’

Moreover, what Leo now held in his hand was the masterpiece that Dweno had uniquely acknowledged as his work.

Giganto’s body was powerless before Leo’s sword.

“Nooo! Do you think I became the vanguard commander of the great Giant King’s Legion with just my body alone!”

Kwagagagagagang-!

Giganto struck the ground with his fist.

Then black lava erupted and crashed over Leo like a tsunami.

Seeing that, Leo chuckled and raised his palm.

A ring sparkled on Leo’s hand.

Crackle-!

“…!”

Giganto’s eyes widened as if they would tear, watching the lava freeze instantly.

“Huu….”

Breath flowed from Leo’s mouth.

“Spirit arts and… magic? You… just what…!”

“You were notorious as a battle maniac.”

Thud- Thud-

Leo approached Giganto with his sword slung over his shoulder, curling up the corners of his mouth.

“But when the moment of death came, you screamed.”

Leo’s eyes turned gray.

Giganto, meeting those eyes, fell to his knees.

Thump-!

In an instant, the image of a gray-eyed young man cruelly slaughtering his body flashed through his mind.

‘…What is this? Is this? A hallucination? The future? Or… the past? What the hell is this!’

Giganto’s body trembled violently.

“Seeing you, who only enjoyed fights you could win, begging for your life was quite entertaining.”

Watching Leo smile gently, Giganto asked as if squeezing out the words.

“What exactly are you!”

“Me?”

Slash-!

In an instant, Leo’s sword gouged Giganto’s eye.

“Gaaahhhhh!”

“The Great Hero you feared most.”

Kail’s true nature, which had once made countless demons tremble in terror, had awakened.
