– Volume 8, Chapter 2
177. The World of Arrogant Giants (3)
The giants were strong. Giants without any special training were able to defeat the C-class monster without any problems,
but Taesan didn’t know.
Whether or not they have the power to fight the legendary Transcendentalists.
The magic god told him. It is said that giants once delved deeper into the mysteries of magic than anyone else. But now
they say they don’t remember themselves.
I could tell just by looking at the lord’s reaction. The city was quite large even by the standards of giants. Even assuming that the level of civilization of the giants was similar to that of the Middle Ages on Earth, it was a fairly sound territory.
Even the lord of such a place did not know much about magic.
that was weird
At first, Taishan thought they were suppressing magic and denying the god of magic.
So, like in the Battlefield of the Gods,
it was considered a quest to deal with those who were enemies of the God of Magic.
However, the giants were not hostile to magic.
He just forgot about the magic itself.
Taesan stretched out his hand into the air.
[You activated an ice arrow.]
The judgment came as soon as the frozen arrow was implemented.
[Judging control of mind…]
[Judgment successful!]
The judgment that comes every time you use magic
.
‘Is it because of this?’
The reason why the giants who studied magic more deeply than anyone else forgot magic. It was just an assumption, but it seemed highly probable.
Taishan released an ice arrow. Finding the reason why the magic was forgotten seemed important, but first of all, we had to solve the problem right in front of us.
The most important goal is to get the right to meet the king.
And in order to meet the king as a stranger,
he had to accomplish a feat.
After thinking for a while, Taesan stood up. There is a limit to sitting still in a room and thinking. This kind of thing was a way to get a solution by moving your body yourself.
The night passed and the next day. Taesan went out into the hallway and waited for someone. Before long, he was able to meet Umberrak, who was sweaty and had a relieved expression.
“phew. It was a fun fight today.”
“hi.”
“hmm? human?”
Umberrak, who discovered the mountain, gave a worried look.
“I won’t stop you from wandering around, but you’d better be careful. If you’re not lucky, you might get stepped on.”
“That’s no problem.”
“but. You’ve already defeated the Black Marauder, so there’s no way you’ll die from just being stepped on.”
Umberak grinned. His armor was ragged and his hair was tangled. Taesan asked.
“You must have been fighting?”
“I came to deal with the rift monsters you saw yesterday. They’re sick and tired of them. A good fight is satisfying, but also exhausting.”
Umberak narrowed his eyes. He could take it down without a problem, but since it pops up every day, it was quite difficult for him to manage the territory. This is because you never know when the problem will arise again.
After hearing the story, Taesan realized something strange.
“Can’t you stop the rift itself?”
Taishan
had already blocked the Violet Rift on Earth.
However, upon hearing Taesan’s words, Umberlak shook his head.
“A temporary measure is possible, but the strength is not enough to completely prevent it. It’s only possible when the king’s warriors come. And because they have a lot of work, they can’t come all the way to this remote territory.”
From Umberak’s words, Taesan realized what to do to meet the king.
“When will the next rift open?”
“It opens twice a day. It
looks like it will be open again tonight.”
“Then I will go with you.”
Umberrak’s eyes widened at Taesan’s words.
“You too?”
“okay. Wouldn’t that be okay?”
“It’s not that I can’t… are you okay?”
Umberak’s gaze was filled with concern.
It was a gaze that was really concerned about Taesan’s safety, not feeling any contempt or insult.
Taesan laughed.
“There will be nothing to worry about.”
That night. Taishan followed the giants and arrived at the rift.
Numerous giants nestled near the rift looked at Mount Tai with worried eyes.
Although he felt similar feelings to Umberak, Taesan calmly let go of the giants’ gaze.
“The rift will open in the next few minutes. grunt I can’t even stop it because I want it.”
Umberak groaned. I was planning to hold a festival for a stranger for several days, but now I have to worry about the life of the stranger. Naturally, I couldn’t help but worry.
Taesan didn’t care and asked what he was curious about.
“That’s the crack of the old gods.”
“hmm? Do you know too?”
“Because I came from the Labyrinth.”
“…Come to think of it, the gods are seated there. Then it will be easier to explain.”
Umberrak said.
“As you said, it is the old gods who opened the rift to destroy our world. They keep sending monsters to attack us. These are really annoying things.”
Umberrak snorted.
It seemed like he was used to it by now.
“Since when did that happen?”
“I do not know either. What is certain is that this territory existed before it was created. The damn thing that has been with us for over a thousand years.”
Umberrak’s face was irritated.
“It’s not threatening at all, but it’s the army that constantly comes and bothers you.”
“Isn’t the crack only here?”
“There is one crack near the manor.”
that was weird
The giants were obviously strong. Being compared to players who risked their lives to clear normal mode without any special training was a great thing in itself.
However, their strength was not that great.
If a B-class monster appeared, it would be possible to defeat it, but even they had to risk their lives to fight. It was not to the point where it would end by saying that it was annoying.
‘Are there any restrictions?’
Chew.
At that moment, the crack split.
However, there was something strange about the appearance of the splitting rift. The crack that was trying to forcefully squeeze into the cramped space was shaking greatly.
«o Umberak
had never experienced anything like this. And monsters began to appear one by one from the cracks that were twisting.
Quadduk.
Some of the monsters had their limbs crushed and severed, probably because they had forced their way out of the twisting cracks.
However, some of them completely crossed the crack and raised their bodies.
“hmm?”
Seeing the monster appearing, Umberrak’s eyes twitched.
Something was strange.
The power felt from the huge monsters was qualitatively different from the monsters he was used to seeing.
And a system window that only Taesan could see
appeared.
[Monster 91221 appeared.]
[Monster 454 appeared.]
[Monster 51125 appeared.]
Five-digit monster.
It was a B-class monster.
The monsters were showing their intent to kill Taesan.
“They’re quick to respond.”
It seemed that after realizing that Taesan had come here, he forced himself to send down a stronger-than-usual monster to kill him.
“Hmm?”
Umberrak couldn’t rush into the energy of other monsters than usual. Then, the impatient giants rushed at the monsters with a shout.
“Wow!”
The monster moved its huge arms.
He broke the giants’ clubs and hit them in the chest.
“Cuck!”
The giants fell with a scream. The giants who rushed in belatedly stopped
unknowingly at a different appearance than usual .
The monsters began to creep closer.
The giants’ eyes turned red.
“dare!”
“Something like outcasts!”
Insignificant monsters defeated the great giants. The giants burst into rage and charged at once. Umberrak also joined late.
“Huh!”
He swung his sword vigorously.
The monster shook its square arm
and struck the sword.
Caang!
bounce off each other Umberak’s eyes twitch.
The monsters he had met so far couldn’t properly block his sword. However, it had almost equal power to him.
The monsters got stronger.
But Umberak laughed out loud.
As a lord, the existence of cracks was annoying, but he was also a giant who worshiped power and loved battles.
The fact that the enemy has become stronger is something to be happy about, not something to be embarrassed about.
Not only him, but other giants as well. Even while bleeding, he was fighting against the monsters with shouts.
They were not afraid of death.
But the limits were clear.
The opponents were several B-class monsters. And only the strongest Umberrak could fight the monster 1:1. Other giants joined forces
to attack the monsters, but giants with large and small wounds continued to appear.
Seeing this, Taesan started to move.
Umberrak, who had been fighting happily, was taken aback.
“human! Back off! This place is dangerous!”
Unlike the monsters so far, there was no room to protect them. He shouted urgently, but Taishan did not stop walking.
When Taishan appeared on the battlefield,
the movements of the monsters changed. The monsters, who had pushed the giants they were dealing with, rushed toward Mount Tai.
Three monsters the size of giants rushed toward Mount Tai. Umberlak tried to pull himself out to help Taesan, but he couldn’t shake off the monster in front of him.
The monsters attacked Taesan.
Taesan held out his fist lightly.
Kwajik.
The monsters flew away with the sound of something being crushed. Umberak
‘s eyes widened as he watched
the scene .
He had already won against a Class A monster in his previous return.
Even if several B-class monsters attacked, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
“Did I think this was enough
or did I just have to do this?”
Considering the appearance of the monsters forcibly pushing through the rift, it was likely the latter.
Taesan continued to move.
He took out his sword and dug in between the monsters.
Kwajik.
[2285 damage to monster 91221.]
Insert the sword. Avoid the monster’s arm and activate the frost arrow to pierce it. At the same time, an unpleasant sensation crept into my head, but I shake it off
.
‘Is it because of these too?’
Every time he used magic, the discomfort he felt became stronger.
It wasn’t much of a problem, so Taesan continued to deal with the monsters.
Umberrak and other giants were watching Taesan’s fight with dumb faces.
‘What…
I knew Taesan was strong. However,
I thought that it was only at the level of this weak stranger, and compared to the giant, it would be at a much lower level.
He believed that defeating the Black Reaver was an attempt at a moment of carelessness after seeing his small appearance, but he did not think it was a serious fight.
That was not his idea.
All giants believed so.
They say they are the strongest in the world.
The labyrinth where the gods are located is not important to them.
There’s nothing like magic.
They looked down on the outside world
and lowered their level. Their prejudice became more and more true as they lost contact with the outside world.
But something was happening to smash it right in front of my eyes.
[You triggered a lightning strike.]
The lightning pierced the monster. It was the magic they despised so much. However, magic alone was giving a valid blow to the monsters they had struggled with.
Kwajik.
A monster falls like that.
Umberak came to his senses belatedly
and gritted his teeth.
“We are giants.”
You couldn’t leave everything to humans and just watch. he exclaimed in shock.
“Giants! Are you just going to watch that little human take care of everything!”
The giants’ eyes shone.
Their pride lifted them up.
After that it was simple. Taesan alone could defeat them all, but even the giants joined the battle, so all the
monsters disappeared before long.
[Your spirit level has been activated. ???’s proficiency increased by 1%.]
Thanks to defeating several B-class monsters, her proficiency rose by a total of 4%.
It was not a bad harvest.
Umberak was looking at Mount Tai with shaky eyes.
“You…
“before that.”
Taishan stood in front of the purple rift.
Umberak
said that only the king’s warriors could close the rift.
Taesan thrust his sword into the crack. The crack twisted madly and resisted Taesan. It looked like the crack was screaming, but Taesan trampled on even that with force.
In the end, the twisted rift succumbed to Taesan and disappeared.
Astonishment stood on the faces of the giants who were watching them.
“Is this enough to meet your king?”
Level up with skill
