White giant (1)
In fact, even as he followed Geos to this country estate, he was also prepared that this might be a waste of time.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Coordinating the schedule of the party, it’s not work, so I was willing to invest time, but wouldn’t it be insufficient grounds to be convinced that the other person was an earthling with only one word of Geos’ testimony?
I just thought that if I was really an Awakener, it would be perfect, and if I could get even a little bit of information, I would be satisfied…
‘The harvest was much bigger than I thought.’
Not only did he meet Chehai, a settler from the real Earth, but he was also willing to provide high-quality information that was not easily obtained.
He even taught him separately and developed his own skill, so what more can I say!
‘Thanks to that, I stayed longer than expected.’
However, it was impossible for a party of warriors including Heinrich to stay stuck in such a remote rural area forever.
To be honest, it was quite unusual for me to take such a long time off.
“Then see you next time, Mr. Geos!”
“Sister! Go carefully!”
“Hello~!”
It had only been a few days since the group had been living back and forth between the hilltop cottage and the nursery school in Chehai, but in the meantime, the children seemed to have grown quite fond of it, and the children rushed to the door to bid them farewell.
Honestly, with the exception of Geos, it was only a very short-lived relationship, with no promise of when we would be able to meet again if we parted like this now…
Although there may be some regret on the faces of the children waving their hands in a spirited voice, only bright colors were evident.
‘Everyone is strong. . . . Better than me.’
He did not dare to guess how many scars would be hidden behind the laughter of the children who survived in this harsh world that even adults could not bear.
Maybe it’s because of the few adults who embraced the wound with love and the friends who have always been by their side.
After saying goodbye to the children, the group left the nursery school.
And while they were moving, Chehai, who had been accompanying them for a while to see them off, approached Heinrich.
“I tried my best to help in my own way. I don’t know how it became strong. I wonder if those who are busy for no reason have wasted their time.”
“What are you saying? It’s been a huge help. Leave the rest of the work to us, and Chehai-sama, please protect this place as you are now. Aren’t children the future of the world?”
“Heh heh, you are right. That is what I am most proud of.”
Two people shaking hands with a smile while exchanging good wishes.
Chehai, who then shared a few short words with the others, headed to the last person left.
“Geos.”
Geos looked at him quietly at his low call.
While he was at the orphanage, he seemed to have improved a little, but after leaving the place, his expression was full of gloom again before he knew it.
“Why don’t you stop relaxing now? Even if you stay stuck in the past forever, nothing will start.”
“I don’t want to start over. Because on that day, my world has already ended.”
“… Neither Anna nor Nia would want you to do this.”
“Well. Certainly not.”
However, since we can no longer see each other, all such assumptions are meaningless.
As if he didn’t care what others said around him, he just stared into space with his usual empty gaze.
“Ha-.”
Chehai looked at the scene with concern, but in the end, he could only sigh.
In fact, he felt that he was not persuasive even when he said it, since it is obvious that he would have acted the same way if he had been in a similar situation to Geos.
After such a short time
From noble mtl dot com
They finally arrived at the mansion on the hill, a suitable place to prepare for teleportation, and immediately prepared a magic circle in the backyard.
“I have been using this magic circle so often lately that I can draw it with my eyes closed. For me, elemental magic… Among them, ice magic was my main focus. I think I should change my major to space science now.”
“Doesn’t that mean Master is versatile! At this point, why don’t you take up all the other branches? There’s a school that I’m interested in, so how can I get along…”
“Hmm…”
As Isae-ah grumbled as she installed her magic circle with the materials she took from her sub-space magic tool, Hesperon next to her quickly injected empty wind into her.
No matter how much he said that he could get help from Hans, wouldn’t her efficiency increase even more if he could put her head to head with her even when learning other systems!
‘Anyway, it’s amazing as expected.’
These days, it seems so easy that it is so different from everyday life, but in fact, space movement was a high-level magic that could not even be attempted without considerable skill and preparation.
Even in the Mage Tower, it is only possible to try it with the help of large facilities, many materials, and the cooperation of many wizards, so I said everything.
It meant that Seah Isea, who was able to implement it alone, was a great being.
Hans was one body even to the point of becoming the Immortal King, so of course it was an exception.
And near the end of preparations for space transfer.
“We will prepare thoroughly and always wait in perfect condition so that the head of household can come back and rest at any time. Please remember.”
Oliver, the manager of the mansion, who had packed some food for him, bowed respectfully to Geos.
He also had the same concern as Chehai, but because he was employed, he did not dare to act presumptuously and spoke indirectly like this.
When it’s really hard, always come back here… To ‘home’.
“···Okay. Please take good care of me.”
Of course, Geos only gave a dry answer as before.
“I am ready. Everyone, gather here.”
Now that I had done all I had to do in this town, there was no reason to stay any longer.
Finally, the party who greeted Chehai and Oliver surrounded Isea and waited for the transfer.
“Then let’s go. As everyone knows already, adjust the exorcism so that it does not resist magic…”
However.
Before she even casts her magic.
Jjijijijig-!
It is a heterogeneous sound that is difficult to hear even once in a lifetime.
A grotesque noise resounded in all directions, as if the space was being torn apart.
“Hmm···?”
“…!”
The nerves of everyone in the seat were extremely sharp at that unusual phenomenon.
This wasn’t a phenomenon caused by Isea’s space-shifting magic.
The heads of the people around her and Chehai, who was seeing them off, turned sideways.
In the direction of the village they had already passed.
“For a moment···!”
“Could that be?!”
And on the outskirts of town, where their eyes are directed.
Along with a huge crack in the air, a pure white ‘hand’ protruding from within was slowly opening the gap.
It’s like trying to force yourself through a closed door.
If there were a few problems, it was that the beings coming out were really huge, commensurate with the size of the rift…
“No!”
It was said that there was Chehai’s nursery school near where the rift opened.
***
Not only her hands, but her entire body was white as if she had been covered in paint.
It crawled through the crack with both hands and stretched out one leg to take the first step outside.
Whoops—!
With just that one step, there was a roar as if a bomb had exploded, the ground vibrated, and deep footprints with five toes were engraved on the floor.
And finally, having pulled both feet and the whole body out of the crack, the entity straightened its back and raised its head.
Right after that—.
[———!]
A pent-up energy emanating from the being shook all directions.
There was a deep ‘joy’ that was clearly felt even though it was not a language in that heavy echo, like the cry of a whale.
A clear feeling that if he had been a little more considerate to that person, he might have congratulated him sincerely.
Koo Goo Goo—!
However, the situation of the listeners was not so good to sympathize with the joy.
It was because the destructive energy emitted from that overwhelming gigantic body without consideration was naturally carried to the sound waves and violently stirred all directions.
Trees that had been staggering were uprooted and fell, stones were thrown frantically in all directions, and all kinds of structures were shattered.
The damage to objects was that much, but it was obvious what it would be like if a living being directly hit the wave.
And the village that was just around the corner…
“Ugh, ears… What is this all of a sudden…”
“Ahh—! Mother!”
“Hey? What, what! That monster!”
Fortunately, there was only disturbance and property damage caused by the roaring noise, and there were no significant casualties right away.
hahahaha… It was close…”
Seah Lee took a deep breath and gripped the staff gifted to her from the imperial family.
Suddenly, the blue light that covered the entire village was swaying here and there, blocking the torrent of vicious energy.
Although her response was slightly delayed because she was in the middle of preparing for her teleportation, she was a great wizard whose name and color reached the extreme of magic.
Sensing anomalies, she immediately grasps the situation accurately, and at the same time canceling the magic she was preparing, constructing and casting a new magic takes only ten seconds.
However, covering the entire village, and even a place that was quite far from where she was, in this short amount of time was quite burdensome for her.
It was only possible because it was not an attack that the opponent deliberately poured out, but just an unintended aftermath.
“By the way, what the hell is that…?”
Seah Lee repaired her barrier again, which was shaking her body due to her haste, and glared at the large, pure white being that seemed to ignore her perspective.
A typical humanoid giant with a height of over 30 meters.
What’s unusual is that the seven holes on her face—eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth—are all sewn with something black.
[———!]
At that time, the giant groaned again in his throat.
But this time, unlike before, the feeling of annoyance, not joy, was oozing out.
Well, it has to be.
The hero Heinrich, the barbaric warrior Harley, and the spearman Geos.
It was only natural that the trio of warrior party vanguards who had arrived in front of the giant were attacking him in an attempt to catch his attention and drive him away from the village.
‘Chehai-sama… Went straight to the nursery school.’
Almost at the same time as Isea reacted, the others immediately started looking for something to do.
“… I’ll have to get a little bit closer for the efficiency of my magic, too.”
“Yep! I will escort you. Master! Trust me!”
Except for the still incompetent Hesperon.
***
Divine power mixed with the Holy Sword burned and flowed into Heinrich’s body, which had been trained to the limit.
Puffed up—
The body, which was usually strengthened with 「Great Blessing: Knight of Light」 and 「Blessing: Strong Body」, once again exceeded its limits and infused him with superhuman strength.
In that state, he ran like the wind, stepped on the giant’s feet, knees, and thighs and jumped high.
[Blessing: Lightsaber] was affected by [Blessing: Increased Quantity] and burned even more fiercely, and it was contained in [Blessing: Holy Sword] and pierced the giant’s heart.
Guided by the “Loggia Castle Fighting Method” And the “Martial Arts Path”, He draws a very fatal trajectory.
Chow-!
[———?!]
Pure white blood oozing out of the torn giant’s body.
But he was too big and too hard to break his heart properly.
Contrary to how it looked, it was quite agile and even slightly missed.
Wriggling—
‘…Even regeneration in the meantime.’
Heinrich’s eyebrows wriggled as he gently landed on the ground.
His open wound was wriggling and slowly but steadily suturing.
Suppression of resilience was one of the basic abilities of the holy sword that had been hunting all kinds of bizarre monsters.
But even after being hit by such a sword, if it had that kind of regenerative power, it would mean that Heinz II and Harley’s “Super Regeneration” Would even be surpassed…
In many ways, it was an out of the ordinary monster.
‘What? What about this monster? The rift he came out of must be the scar of the abyss.’
Although this giant was said to be a naked humanoid, it did not show any characteristics that would identify its gender, including genitalia.
A human figure without hair or even a single strand of hair, as if it had been roughly fashioned out of white clay.
Because everything was white from head to toe, the black wire that was threaded through the lacquerwork on her face stood out even more, emphasizing her grotesqueness.
‘Is this guy also the one who drifted on the edge of the abyss like the undead army?’
To say that, it is not surprising that he suddenly appeared after being silent until now.
And above all…
‘The concentration of madness dwelling in the body is considerable. If this is enough… I think it’s similar to Heratos, who was a light dragon?’
If it was an existence that had protruded from the scars of the abyss and had a deep madness in its body.
‘…Is it a monster that climbed up from the abyss?’
Heinrich frowned.
Likewise, the giant also looked in Heinrich’s direction, distorting his face.
As if he could be seen, now exuding anger beyond irritation.
“Saint! It’s dangerous to fight here any longer! There’s a nursery school nearby! Now that you seem to have lost some of your attention, let’s do some judo in the back…!”
At that time, Geos, who drew the guy’s attention by stabbing the tip of his extended spear, shrieked sharply.
Isea, who had approached nearby, was busy helping to keep the giant in check, as well as maintaining the protective barrier and assisting residents in evacuation with magic, but—.
The physical force coming from an overwhelming body of at least 30 meters was a disaster in itself.
Even now, after fighting while attracting his attention as much as possible, not only was the village in chaos, but there were sacrifices that could not be prevented…
‘To put it bluntly, that guy’s slip and fall is a fatal attack to us.’
So he couldn’t help but be careful about even knocking over now.
If he can stop his breath at once so he can’t resist, he’ll be able to figure it out somehow.
“All right! It looks like he’s mad at me, so I’m going to step back slowly and get out of town…!”
Heinrich, who was answering Geos, suddenly stopped talking at the horror that ran up his spine.
Because of the giant’s strange behavior.
‘No, wait. No way···!’
The giant, who was frowning on his face with an angry expression, seemed to tilt his head for a moment.
He then twisted the corners of his mouth and gave a twisted smile.
The black wire threaded through his face only made him look grotesque, but—.
It was a big smile that seemed to evoke anticipation for something no matter how you look at it.
‘Intelligence…!’
And.
The head of the white giant.
‘Did you understand our conversation?!’
They headed towards the nursery they were desperately trying to protect.
