179. The world of arrogant giants (5)
“Even if you say that, I don’t know.”
he’s been like that before
When he encountered the apostle or when he met the god, he didn’t suffer much mental damage.
The Giant King laughed.
“It is an amazing ability. You don’t seem to know either.”
The Giant King said quietly.
“Anyway, I am grateful to be able to receive help from such an existence. If we go on like this, we will perish.”
The giant king turned his attention to the shimmering monster.
“You too must have noticed something strange about the monsters when you came here.”
“I was too weak.”
At least it’s a C grade. Even ordinary giants could easily be knocked down. It was a level that could not destroy the world.
Taesan could guess the reason
.
“Is it because of that monster?”
“There is a total amount that the Old Gods can interfere with a world. Most of it was spent on that monster. That’s why we can’t send more monsters than a certain amount.”
The Giant King laughed bitterly.
“But we are getting weaker. Even for me, it is too much for me to suppress the waves of that monster as much as possible in order to make even the warriors use magic.”
The giant king was immortal. Although he was an existence beyond the limits of his lifespan,
he looked very frail.
Taesan asked.
“Isn’t it okay if you kill me?”
The monster certainly possesses a terrible presence, but Tae-san judged that if it was the giant king, he could have killed it. But the Giant King shook his head.
“If I could, I would have done it over and over again.”
The Giant King raised his hand and clenched his fist.
Kwajijik!
Thousands of arrows of magical power were then lodged in the monster inside the barrier. The giant king looked calmly at the arrow that was stabbed so hard that the shape of the monster could not be recognized.
“That monster is designed so that a giant cannot kill it.”
Wriggling, the monster raised itself.
The broken flesh began to crawl and put itself back together.
“That monster is making us forget magic, but we can’t kill giants. As time goes by , they will try to corrode even our bodies someday .
It exists only to kill us.”
Taishan realized why the magic god had sent him here.
“So I beg you. Kill it.”
The Giant King’s shimmering eyes turned to Mount Tai.
“You are unaffected by the monster’s wavelength. It’s not even a giant, so you can deal a valid blow to that monster. So the god of magic must have sent you. please don’t human.”
Taesan nodded.
“good.”
I came here for that in the first place.
It was different from the first expectation, but it seemed that the quest would be cleared if the monster was defeated. Then there was no reason to refuse.
Above all, the opponents are the gods.
Taesan was happy to think that he could feed the taffy to those who are trampling on the earth.
Taesan agreed. The Giant King laughed.
“Thank you. I will give you enough compensation for that.”
“So what should I do? Can I just kill him?”
“That doesn’t work.”
The Giant King shook his head.
“That is the existence that is killing us, but at the same time it is also a kind of limit. The moment you touch that monster, the gods will open up space and invite the monsters.”
“You can block them.”
The giant king was immortal. It had a power that was incomparable to that of the leaders of the Pathfinders of Sin.
You can crush monsters with your fingers, but the giant king smiled bitterly.
“I can’t touch the monster.”
The Giant King raised his finger and
pointed at the monster.
Waves of wriggling were still emanating from the monster.
“If the seal that holds the monster is released, the monster will spread the waves thicker and wider. If that happens, everyone except me and the Great Warrior will go crazy. I have to stop that.”
“Isn’t the power of an immortal not enough?”
“If it was such a simple monster, I would have gotten rid of it right away. The old gods are clever and cunning.”
Taesan was well aware of that
. He too has suffered in a previous life.
“Then how are you going to stop the monsters?”
Taesan had to focus on defeating that monster. said the giant king.
“So I have to call you. Those who can withstand monsters.”
The giant king ordered the warriors.
“Except for Habriam, the three go to each territory and call the lord. your king is calling I mean prepare for battle
.”
The great warriors left with a silent nod.
“It will take a while to call everyone. It’s hardly a reward for that, but I’ll give you this.”
The Giant King waved his finger. From there, a mysterious power came out and dwelled in Taesan.
[You have learned beginner rune magic [White Rune Shield].]
[Beginner Rune Magic: White Rune Shield]
[Mana consumption: 30]
[Proficiency level: 1%]
[Small shields engraved with mysterious runes surround you. summoned The mystery still contained in the shield is very insignificant.]
Taishan’s eyes shone. said the giant king.
“It is our magic. It’s not enough compared to the magic god’s, but it should be usable. If you ask Habriam, you will be able to sparring, so you can use it as practice.”
“okay.”
Taesan followed the giant king’s words.
Taishan continued to train with the Great Warrior while the giants gathered at the capital. The warrior’s power itself is weaker than that, but the level of magic is much higher, so it was a good match.
His magic proficiency rose a little, and he was able to roughly grasp how to use the White Rune Shield.
And as time passed, all the giants finally arrived.
“Everyone is here.”
Umberak muttered as he looked around the gathered giants. There were quite a few faces he knew.
All of them were lords of one territory.
There was also a lord who managed not only a small territory but also a land ten times his size.
About a hundred such lords gathered.
“What the hell is this…
Umberrak narrowed his brows.
Humans came to his estate, and suddenly strong monsters came out and humans defeated them.
So, as requested by the human, a messenger was sent to the King of Giants, but before he arrived, the four great warriors came and took the human.
And I thought it was all over, but after a few days, the great warrior came back and
told me to follow the king calling him.
Because so much had happened in such a short period of time, Umberlach still couldn’t grasp the situation properly.
He who met Taesan in person and knew the general circumstances was like this, so the other giants were worse than him. Agitated, they awaited their meeting with their king.
profit.
The door is open.
The giant king appeared. The giants hastily bowed down.
“Meet our King!”
The giants shout in unison. Their eyes were full of longing for the giant king.
The strongest giant who had protected them for hundreds of years was their king.
However, in the eyes of the giants, there was also a question.
It was very rare for them to see the king in person, only once every few years. But since they were all gathered like this, I couldn’t help but wonder.
The Giant King looked down at them and said
.
“I have something to tell you.”
The Giant King began to speak. Something about a monster nestled in the royal castle. That they forgot magic. And that he was trying to kill that monster.
The giants who heard the story were taken aback.
“Are you the king? What do you mean?”
“To think we forgot magic. It can’t be.”
The giants denied their king’s words
. Because it was not an intervention made overnight, but a thousand years of work, the giants slowly forgot the existence of magic itself.
The Giant King also turned around because he expected it.
“Follow me.”
The giant king headed to the place where the monster was. The closer they got to it, the more the giants’ faces began to distort. A few could not stand it and sat down on the ground.
“This far.”
“Oops,
some of them even made me sick.
The feeling of something terrible shaking the brain and running through the body overtook the giants.
In the end, they couldn’t go any further.
The Giant King brought them back to Daejeon. Those who barely came to their senses caught their breath.
Something strange and terrible is inside the royal castle.
said the giant king.
“Can you believe me now?”
“Heo-eok…
The giants barely nodded. They were still not sure about magic, but they could tell that something was attacking them.
That alone was enough.
“You are strong people. That’s why I became a lord.”
They adored power. To rule a territory, at least the lords had to be stronger than anyone else. All of them had the power to overcome B-class monsters. “
Will you help me fight those
who try to interfere with us ?”
“yes!”
They all shouted loudly.
Their eyes were burning with speculation.
The Giant King smiled contentedly.
“It should be.”
The giant king said one by one. In order to kill the monster in the capital, you must break the seal. But if you break the seal, the monsters will come out.
I mean, I called you to stop it.
After hearing the story, Umberak asked quietly.
“My king. Are we the only ones gathered?”
“When the seal is released, the monster emits a strong wave and I have to focus on blocking it. But those weaker than you are affected by the monster despite my protection. Even if there is, it won’t help.”
“Then is the king taking care of the monsters in the castle?”
“no. I have to focus on blocking that wave. That will be dealt with by someone else
.”
The Giant King turned his gaze.
“Come out.”
Taesan appeared.
The giants who saw him were perplexed.
” human?”
“Why are humans?”
Only Umberak looked at it calmly, while the rest gave a look of agitation and disbelief.
“He will defeat the monster.”
“But, my king. He…
“Human?”
The giant shut his mouth. There was an answer to that in his gaze toward Mount Tai.
The Giant King laughed.
“Please.”
“You’ll have to pay for this later.”
“do not worry. When everything is over, I will pay you very generously.”
Taesan stepped forward and waved his hand at the objectioner.
“I’m too lazy to explain, so go for it.”
The giant gave Taesan an ambiguous look
.
“human. It seems to have quite a bit of power, but that doesn’t reach us. We are the strongest species…”
“Noisy.”
Taesan frowned and kicked his foot.
The giant was frightened by the rapidly rushing Mount Tai and covered his body with his arms.
Taesan swung his fist.
Wow.
“Cuck!”
The defense was breached and the giant flew away and crashed into the wall.
Everyone’s eyes widened. Taesan said with a sad face.
“If you want to check it, attack them all.”
“I will fall.”
Umberrak retreated.
The giants’ eyes shone.
they moved
and the next day. No one said anything about the existence of Mount Tai.
Umberak smiled and came to Taesan.
“I will see you again like this.”
“hi.”
“haha. Is there a monster like that inside… It’s amazing. After all, you were right.”
Umberrak muttered with a strange face.
“Then did the god of magic directly ask you for us?”
Taesan nodded. Umberlak smiled bitterly.
“We have forgotten magic. old gods. and the god of magic. There are so many things. So, did the magic god keep watching over us?”
“Perhaps.”
Taesan was also thinking about it.
Why can’t the god of magic descend here?
It was most likely due to Goshin’s interference.
If so, will the god of magic descend here once the interference of the old god disappears?
Depending on the situation, that could be a strategy.
Taesan took stock of the situation.
And the next day, all preparations were completed.
