Chapter 76. Miracle, or chance (1)
Tuquahak-!
A great force exploded.
It surged like an unstoppable wave.
The first triple blast in history.
Its explosive power pierced everything in its path and sprinted.
Yes!
A cry of pain erupted from Giga Titan’s mouth for the first time.
At the same time, the huge monster’s body was pierced in an instant.
chitin and dentin.
It was the shell of a ship’s shell, a molecular unit of two materials that were hard even if left alone.
The triple nested honeycomb structure was once again entangled in a spiral. Its hardness and toughness were indescribable. The thickness of such an ignorant structure reached a whopping 1 meter.
It was a shell that literally surpassed Kevlar fibers as a highly biometric bulletproof armor or composite armor.
However, in the face of the explosive penetrating power of the triple blast, even that defensive power was useless.
Kwajak!
The triple honeycomb structure is broken.
Helix entangled molecular structure melted.
The heat from the triple blast pierced the 1-meter-thick shell of the ship without hesitation.
Inside the hard, tough shell was a relatively soft tissue.
A fury of ferocious power writhed into it.
ripped without hesitation.
OK!
The first to be pierced was the muscle tissue just inside the carapace.
The jelly-like muscle tissue within the hard shell was exposed to intense heat. The protein is overcooked. Moisture in the tissues boiled. Extensive damage was done to surrounding tissue.
Even so, the blasting’s penetrating power did not lose its power at all.
Next to muscle was visceral tissue.
Pretzels!
The dorsal nerve cord, which runs along the bottom of the body like a spine, has been pierced. It was cut off. A huge nervous system screamed in agony.
So did the rest of the organization behind it.
The acini-shaped heart on top of the dorsal nerve cord.
Lung organs that supplied oxygen to the huge body.
Part of a stomach larger than a house, as well as hormone glands.
Also the muscle tissue attached to the back.
Lastly, the hard and tough 1-meter-thick carapace that covered his back.
accidentally penetrated
melted and torn
It was shattered and pierced.
Accurate-!
A ferocious and ferocious fire of power shot through Giga Titan’s back.
In the midst of the blasting force, fragments of internal organs exploded like fireworks.
It rained all around.
Meanwhile, Lloyd also crashed.
It was as he entered a complete coma and lost consciousness.
‘…I’m sleepy.’
From Giga Titan’s armor to the ground.
It fell from a height of about 20 meters like a kite with a string cut off.
I couldn’t balance or prepare for the impact.
No, I didn’t think so.
I was just dazed.
Everything was like a dream.
I looked ahead with blurry eyes.
The ground of a coastal cliff full of gray rocks.
The scene quickly approached.
‘….’
If I fell like this, I wouldn’t be safe.
At the end of that thought, Lloyd’s consciousness was cut off.
His body also fell to the floor.
No, at the moment right before being slammed into a rock, it was buried under the soft fur.
“Ppodong!”
Imprisoned!
Podongi ran out of breath just in time.
Podongi caught Lloyd, who was falling down with a plump and puffy back.
Lloyd, who fell on his back, was not hurt at all thanks to his thick, fluffy fur. There was no bouncing or falling out.
But Podongi hardly smiled.
I wasn’t even relieved that I had accepted Lloyd.
It was because I couldn’t laugh or be relieved yet.
“Podo-dong! Podong! panting!”
Instead of being relieved, Podongi ran even harder and breathless.
A huge shadow rushed from behind such a kid.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Along with a loud scream, a roar of breaking rocks erupted from the spot where Podongyi had just passed.
exploded in succession.
It was accompanied by a painful cry of death.
Crowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Giga Titan was rampaging.
Between the 11th and 12th carapace.
A huge hole had been pierced in that weakness.
Part of the dorsal nerve cord was severed and the heart and respiratory tract ruptured.
It was a fatal wound from which death could never be avoided.
But the monster did not die easily. With his phenomenal physical strength, vitality, and feral power, he even delayed his inevitable death for a while.
So now, while facing death every moment, he squeezed out his last strength and went on a rampage. drenched in madness They rushed to destroy everything in sight.
The rocks on the cliffs along the seashore and the little boy who quickly ran away in front of his eyes were all considered objects of destruction.
Kruwouk! Quaang! Kwa-kwa-kwa-!
Giga Titan’s club-like forelimbs fell tenaciously.
The more he did, the more he urged himself.
Even if I feel like I’m going to stop breathing.
Even if your legs are weak.
continued to run
I jumped over the rocks and spurred the floor, trying to get away from Giga Titan even by one step.
However, Giga Titan’s tenacity was a little stronger.
Kwaaang!
“…kiss?”
A huge, club-like front leg fell down.
Podongi blocked the way he was about to run.
Podongi, who was running hard, stopped abruptly. I quickly turned around. I turned left and tried to get out.
But that attempt also failed.
Tuquaang-!
The rest of the foreleg blocked the way he was trying to get out.
Pudong’s round eyes were stained with embarrassment.
“Ppodong?”
There was no way out.
Of course, the right side and the back side were blocked by a large rock.
Of course, it was a rock that could be climbed.
But will Giga Titan wait for him while he grunts and climbs that rock?
It didn’t seem like it.
There was no way to turn around.
Climbing the boulder would take a nap.
So, Podongi thought there was only one way left.
“Ppodong! Podo-dong! Arr!”
Giga Titan was shot straight ahead.
He growled vigorously, exposing his wild front teeth.
Giga Titan’s upper body poured down towards Podongi.
The huge gaping jaw rushed in without hesitation.
And he put his head on the ground.
Aaaaaang-!
“…!”
Podongi’s buttocks twitched greatly.
Moments later, this stalwart, plump phantasmagoric witnessed an unexpected sight.
Patter, Patter….
In the stone dust debris and dust falling everywhere.
The form of a huge monster collapsed in it was visible.
But the giant did not move.
There was no movement, no breathing.
It meant one.
“Ppodong?”
The monster’s breath stopped.
Realizing this fact, Podongi’s eyes widened.
However, this chubby phantasmagoria neither congratulated itself on being safe nor rejoiced that it had survived.
ran instead
Leaving Giga Titan’s corpse behind, I ran.
Even when he was out of breath, he did not stop running.
It was because of Lloyd on his back.
“Ppodong! Podo-dong!”
Lloyd lying on his back.
I couldn’t feel his heartbeat.
The sound of breathing could only be heard very faintly.
There was no time to wander.
I had to save the owner.
“Ppodongdong! Panting! Boo-dong!”
give me a little more strength
hold on a little longer
Shouting as if encouraging both himself and Lloyd, Pudong ran. It was toward the town of Cremo, a trading city that was immersed in turmoil in the distance.
Behind him, under the moonlight, only the corpse of a huge monster remained.
The night of calamity was passing.
♣
Six days have passed.
A few days after the monster dies.
In the meantime, the citizens of the city gradually came out of shock.
Everyone agreed.
The broken paving stone was removed and the collapsed wall was restored. The injured received timely and appropriate treatment, and those who lost their homes received help from neighbors.
But everyone didn’t forget.
I couldn’t forget.
Whether they were clearing paving stones, erecting a fence, or nursing someone, all they had to do was turn their heads and see a huge silhouette crouching across the city. It was the corpse of Giga Titan left on the coastal cliff as if asleep.
People looked at the huge corpse and recalled the night of the last disaster.
relieved at the same time
Such an unexpected disaster.
Even in the chaos, there were no dead victims.
“It was like a miracle. I never expected that someone would reach out to help me so quickly as I struggled in the water.”
A middle-aged woman said at the clinic.
her words continued.
“It was like a thunderclap. My stomach rocked and at that moment I felt my whole body turn over. When I came to my senses, I was struggling in the cold sea water. is it so. The moment the monster hit the boat, it was thrown out of the boat and flew away.”
“So what? How did you get out of the sea?”
the volunteer who nursed her asked.
Other volunteers also listened.
The middle-aged woman smiled faintly.
“He held out his hand.”
“Is it that person?”
“I don’t know the name. The one who called the big summons in the plaza last month.”
“Oh that person. i know. The snake-like pet spewed something like a fart into a large diaper.”
“Yes, that person. The man came over without hesitation and pulled me out of the water. It wasn’t just me. The old man who was sinking after losing consciousness next to me, and the child who was struggling next to him. That person saved them all.”
“Wow….”
At the story of the middle-aged woman, the volunteers let out a low admiration.
On the other hand, in the central square across from the clinic, another story was told.
“Have you heard?”
“What do you hear?”
“Tell me about that young friend.”
“What is this person talking about? Tell me so I can figure it out.”
“Oh, you have that friend. A bachelor that was set up for construction in the offshore.”
“iced coffee? That bachelor?”
Square shattered by flying statues.
The workers who were repairing the plaza were screaming.
“Why is that bachelor?”
“I heard that the young man turned off the light.”
“Fire? how?”
“I heard you called a summons. It’s plump, so it’s said that a large pet spewed water.”
“So you turned off the lights?”
“It was. I heard that thanks to you, the fire that was about to spread was extinguished.”
“Heh heh. Is that possible?”
“It’s possible, so the story won’t go around. Only one or two people have seen it.”
“okay?”
Some workers prick up their ears.
Others shared the news with their eyes shining.
The place where the story spread was not just the clinic or the plaza.
“I witnessed it. All are true.”
“It is true. Let me be more specific. So, did that friend, Lloyd Frontera, put such a huge hole in Giga Titan’s torso?”
“That’s right.”
This is the conference room of the Count of Cremo’s official residence.
A follow-up investigation supervised by the fact-finding committee was being conducted.
The 23rd Coastal Guard Chief, who was present there as a witness, nodded.
“If you don’t mind, can I tell you from the beginning what the officer witnessed?”
“Please do so.”
“thank you.”
The 23rd guard caught his breath.
His story continued.
“To tell you the truth, I was prepared to die that day. The outpost was destroyed, allowing the Giga Titans to land. So I made a decision.”
“What decision?”
“The gunpowder in the guard post exploded.”
“Gunpowder?”
“yes. Even so, it was to give a blow to Giga Titan. But it failed.”
“Did he not get hit?”
“yes. didn’t receive it at all. I was on the verge of death, and at that moment that person appeared and saved me.”
“Lloyd Frontera?”
“That’s right.”
The 23rd sentinel nodded.
I looked around at the count and other members of the fact-finding committee in the seat I was facing.
It gave strength to the voice of testimony.
“He saved the officer’s life. I took refuge in a safe place. And I fought on my own.”
“With Giga Titan?”
“That’s right. To be precise, the silver-haired knight who was with him fought first, and he joined later.”
The explanation of the 23rd guard continued.
Xaviel who fought against Giga Titan.
In the meantime, Lloyd caught Giga Titan’s attention with a mermaid statue he had remodeled.
Xaviel’s fainting.
Lloyd’s escape and counterattack.
Finally, the mysterious explosion that pierced Giga Titan’s body.
While listening to all of this, the Count and the whole committee clenched their fists, then swallowed dry saliva, and at times let out sighs and exclamations.
It was an incredible story.
At the same time, it was an unbelievable testimony.
A huge hole in Giga Titan’s body.
It was because it was so convincing that it could not be denied.
the Count asked.
“So you didn’t really know how Lloyd Frontera made the hole?”
“yes. The distance was quite far and it was dark, so I couldn’t find out how to do it in detail. But very….”
“greatly?”
“It looked like shooting a powerful cannon.”
“Cannon?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm cannon.”
The Count wrinkled his forehead.
None of the cannons he possessed could pierce Giga Titan’s shell.
But it looked like a cannon shot.
“Then, did you secretly use powerful magic?”
“I’m guessing that it wasn’t like that anyway.”
“Right. Good to hear. Good job. Go away.”
“yes. thank you.”
After testifying, the 23rd guard resigned.
The remaining investigators in the conference room exchanged discussions.
In the midst of that, the count quietly closed his eyes.
‘Whoa. It would be nice if the person in question opened his eyes.’
He thought of Lloyd.
A young man from the Prontera estate in the eastern corner.
He recalled the many feats the young man had accomplished in one night.
‘If it wasn’t for that friend, I would have died that day too.’
It was true.
Was it just before Giga Titan appeared and attacked the sailboat and the statue?
Then Lloyd cut the sailboat’s anchor line.
Thanks to this, the sailboat that carried it was able to narrowly avoid Giga Titan’s attack.
And that wasn’t all. Thanks to at least one sailboat, they were able to rescue all the countless people who fell into the water.
‘Furthermore, from extinguishing the fire that was spreading in the city to repelling Giga Titan. How much debt I and the people of my city owe this time.’
I couldn’t fathom my gratitude.
‘I hope that friend will open his eyes.’
I sincerely hoped.
A miracle that there was not a single death in the city.
He also hoped that a miracle would happen to Lloyd, who led the miracle.
After the disaster night.
Lloyd’s heart stopped.
Didn’t even run again.
but did not die
Breathing continued.
It has been like that for the past six days.
A stopped heart and sustained breathing.
It was a strange, unheard of thing.
That is why the count did not even dream of it.
No, not everyone in this city even guessed.
Lloyd’s heart appears to have stopped due to the impact of the blast.
Inside, like a miracle, an unprecedented opportunity was taking place.
