Episode 704: The Giant of the Ruins
A sea monster that mimics a human.
The first thing I encountered after entering the fog had claws sticking out of its body.
That in itself was okay.
The tower was a place where all kinds of strange monsters were located, and since it had reached the 90th floor, it wouldn’t be surprising if things that had never been heard of popped up.
but.
-Cards!
-Quaaaang!
“Just looking at cancer, they are not ordinary people.”
Each one boasted power beyond imagination.
Even if I stab, twist, and cut with the sword, it ignores me and comes out to catch me.
They even allowed an attack in the middle.
It was no wonder that the residents living in a village covered in fog were called monsters.
“It’s more annoying that you don’t say a word when you die.”
I kicked the bodies of the guys I killed.
A crustacean’s legs protruding from its split abdomen.
Some fish heads opened their mouths, showing off their fangs, and some even wriggled their tentacles.
Those dead people with grotesque appearances just look at me with empty eyes.
The fishy smell and stench coming from them.
The greasy and disgusting smell of rotten gas and gas unique to the polluted sea.
Poisons and hallucinogens mixed in and seeping in without you knowing.
Even now, my head is pounding.
I feel like my body is shaking, as if it’s getting on my nerves.
It seems like even I am shaken by the buildings and lanterns swaying arbitrarily.
Maybe I’m really stumbling.
“Yes.”
“Oh yeah. “There it is again.”
I’ve killed a few so far.
I do not know.
I didn’t even count from the middle.
Although it may not be exact, I would have caught twenty, but there were still more residents wandering around the village.
Acting like a human being in an abominable way.
Stalls and street vendors spread out along the road.
Parents and children wandering among street food vendors.
It was better when seen through the fog.
I thought it was just an illusion he was showing me.
It still feels like a hallucination, but it’s more blatant now.
“Do you want to play house?”
Bones and stones that must have been picked up from somewhere.
I frowned at the sight of someone giving me something rotten and crumbly and chewing it as if it were ice cream.
Did you want to express at least a happy family?
If so, my rating is 100%.
[Aurora Beam (SSS) Lv.6]
-Chyuuuuung!
A ray of light boasting five colors strikes them.
The ground turns over and the guy loses his head and falls to sleep.
I kicked my foot when I saw him open his mouth as wide as to scream, but never let out his voice.
He runs away, flailing his arms and legs as if he sees me as a monster.
“Why are you looking at me like that? “You guys should show up too.”
-Suddenly.
I drew my sword.
A street vendor selling something rotten.
Its arm is cut off and a huge fin sprouts.
-Gurgling.
A fin that cannot be found on a human body.
At first glance, it looked like a wing, but its thickness and protruding protrusions on the edge were more like fins.
-Cow!
When I swung my sword again, it also stuck out its fin.
I think it was his intention to use his absolute weight to push me away.
[Mangeunchuhwan (S)]
[The weight increases!]
-Kikigeek. I’m sorry.
I also don’t lose in weight battles.
The body that had been pushed forward gradually stops.
As I plant my legs deeply into the ground and hold on, the guy starts shaking and gives me strength.
Do you want a power showdown?
Or should we at least shake hands?
If you want.
[Cling (S) Lv.MAX]
[Electric Shock (SS) Lv.10]
-Squeezing!
Intense sparks fly.
The guy who got electrocuted and his whole body was shaking.
I tried to get away from me, but there was no way.
I beat him until his skin burned and something I couldn’t tell whether it was bodily fluid or ooze oozed out of his skin.
-Quaaang!
A guy who hits the floor convulsively.
The ground splits and fragments fly.
I covered my eyes with my arm.
Not the same number.
I frowned and pulled him towards me.
I firmly grabbed the face that came into my hand.
[Fire Bomb (SSS) Lv.10]
-Quaaaaaaang!
It exploded like that.
The guy whose head has disappeared falls down along with black smoke.
Since they can’t even scream anyway, they probably don’t need brains.
He shook off the dust from the debris that had come up in his struggle.
“You’re annoying me to death.”
There are still a lot of them left….
They stand tall.
I stiffened while holding the sword.
does not exist.
Things that should bite me and attack me are running away from me.
I saw him running with a child-shaped creature in his arms.
It’s not a person.
The child’s face had turned into a fish, and blood was flowing from his forehead, which had a splinter stuck in it.
no way.
“Did you take your time?”
I looked down at the guy who had lost his head.
her.
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
I don’t know if it was truly intentional or accidental, but one thing was certain.
I feel very dirty.
The moment I held my sword with a boiling murderous intent.
I felt uncomfortable.
‘Emotional ups and downs have increased.’
It’s true that it’s a situation that makes me angry, but it’s not like me normally.
Are you especially overcome with anger before a battle?
I know this well as I have provoked those I have dealt with so far.
How dangerous is emotional turmoil in a battle where one mistake can lead to death.
But I act like this?
“Does the fog have the effect of inciting emotions?”
Or maybe it’s because of the environment.
No matter how you wrap it up, this place is far from a good environment.
Rather than that.
“The others must have come inside too.”
A signal flare was fired.
It’s not just me.
Some people entered the fog before I arrived.
Because I also came after checking the flares fired by others.
A place where sunlight does not enter properly.
It’s enough to make the concept of time disappear.
For some reason, Smile Cap was wearing a watch.
It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do.
Fog is also fog.
‘If Erembat himself steps forward, then even the clock will have no meaning.’
Haven’t we met once?
I thought it was a fleeting moment, but in reality it was several hours.
Same here.
Even though I was stepping on the ground like this, I didn’t know that the water might still be rising.
It might be up to your neck.
This may be the reason why I feel somewhat stuffy and heavy.
Fortunately, this place is attached to the central island, so it will take time for the water to rise.
-Piyuuung.
Green smoke was visible in the distance.
Signal flare?
Although it quickly lost its light as it mixed in with the fog, it was clearly a signal.
It may be an illusion created by Erembatt.
If so, it must be a trap to lure them towards the sea.
What to do?
“let’s go.”
“Yes.”
The worry was short-lived.
It could be a trap, but it could also be a real signal.
It doesn’t matter if it’s actually brought to the sea.
You can submerge yourself in water and escape the moment your underwater breathing skill is activated.
Let’s think about how to get out of this damn fog later.
If you don’t think it’s true, just die.
“There is a coin for use in times like this.”
Try anything.
I will too.
-grasp!
I flew to the place where the signal flare was seen.
Ignoring the people I encountered along the way, I crossed the village, which was much larger than reality.
I passed a large plaza and a temple filled with sculptures of a style that cannot be seen today.
“What is that.”
I could see a giant running wild above it.
giant.
That was the only way I could see it.
They are on a different level from those I have seen so far.
A more elaborately decorated human figure was running wild.
“Keuuuuu! Cough!”
I saw the Hwamu ship hit by the guy hit the ground like a thunderbolt.
Was it Hwamu-seon that fired the signal?
Was Hwa Mu-seon dealing with those guys alone?
If people of that size are fighting, it should be visible from afar.
The noise should spread as much as the building is destroyed.
‘I didn’t know either.’
I realized I hadn’t noticed that either.
The fog obscured my eyes and drowned out the sounds.
The owner of this place.
“Erembatt of silence and gaze.”
Because it’s him.
-Cow. thud.
The giants walk out.
Is it to tie them up?
I saw someone moving on their body, which boasted a height of tens of meters.
Wherever she moves, a large hole forms and rotten blood gushes out.
“Awl Fairy!”
I felt her eyes turn towards me.
There was no answer.
Because I couldn’t afford to do that.
If you stop even for a moment, you will be punished.
[Rainbow Bridge (S)]
-Chaaaaaa!
The awl fairy used the rainbow bridge towards the opponent.
Legs stretching out at top speed.
-Ugh!
The rainbow bridge, which has an indestructible option while moving, blocked the fist swung by the Awl Fairy.
The rainbow bridge vibrates violently.
The fragments flew out.
It’s not completely broken.
But it doesn’t change the fact that it’s cracked and broken.
I was surprised by this unprecedented situation, but I soon came to my senses.
The chaos you can feel from these guys.
Because I knew long ago that chaos breaks rules.
You must have ignored some of the indestructible options.
[Wearing the left wing of the wingless angel (SSS)!]
[Wearing the right wing of the devil (SSS)!]
He spread his wings wide and revealed his sword power.
A sword that contains magical power and increases its size.
“Get away from me!”
[The SSS-level power of the unyielding sword spirit is shining!]
[Sword Gang]
[Soul Tear (SSS) Lv.5]
-Aaaah!
-Squeak. Squeak!
As soon as you cut off the guy’s arm, you can hear the sound of his soul being torn apart.
For a moment, the guy’s arm loses its strength and goes limp.
“Nice Evileye!”
The awl fairy, with her hair covered in sweat, stretches out her fist.
I wanted to respond to that bright smile, but I sensed something was wrong.
“damage!”
Half instinctive.
I screamed at the crisis detection ability I had accumulated over the years.
“uh?”
The giant’s arm, which had fallen helplessly, rose again and grabbed the awl fairy.
I tried to stop his arm by detonating a fire bomb, but he was strong.
[Clinging (S) Lv.MAX]
[Paying Back (SSS) Lv.5]
– Kugugugung.
-Quaaaaaaaaa!
I clung to his arm with my whole body and used revenge.
The most powerful blow with a single firepower.
In an instant, a wave spreads enough to make the fog recede.
The arm of the guy that was moving despite the sword strike and tearing of the soul just explodes and falls off.
-Cooooooong.
Forearm sunk to the floor.
That alone is the size of several express buses combined.
The Awl Fairy twisted her body between the fists she had been clenching, but only for a moment.
He vomited blood and lost consciousness.
“Deokchun!”
“Yeah!”
I wanted to go and check it out in person, but I couldn’t.
Even after losing an arm, the giant did not stop.
When it comes to recovery, Deokchun is much better than me.
-Crackling. Crackling.
It flew through the sky and disturbed the guy’s line of sight.
Needless to say, he stuck his sword in whenever he saw an opening.
Every time I swung the sword, I used Soul Tear.
The subtle sensation of cutting a guy’s arm.
‘This guy’s soul is not one.’
It didn’t feel like it was torn apart all at once.
It felt like several pieces of my soul were being torn apart.
It must be the same reason why he was able to move his arms straight away.
What kind of monster have you created?
[Mangeunchuhwan]
-Kuuuuung!
I pressed down on his shoulder.
His legs sway from the unexpected weight.
Aurora beam at the right time.
-Kugugu goong!
The guy with his crook pierced gets down on one knee.
Huh.
I turned over to avoid the guy’s hand reaching out as if catching a fly.
The wind blows as it passes by where I was.
That alone was enough to shake my balance.
[Frozen Break (SS) Lv.5]
[Cling (S) Lv.MAX]
Freeze part of the creature’s body and fix it.
I ran on the ice road I made with cling.
-Quaaang!
A fire bomb exploded behind my back.
It rotated, relying on that repulsion force.
A sword swung while squeezing all the muscles in the body.
A dozen meters of sword steel created by pouring in magical power flashed.
– Quad deud deuk!
In a flash of light, the guy’s head was cut off.
Rotten blood spurts out and falls like rain.
It kicked off the collapsing body and flew up again.
The guy’s head rolling on the floor.
It looks familiar.
“A hero of historic sites.”
Numerous statues located deep within the ruins.
That’s the face that was there.
