Chapter 269 – Chapter 66. Omens.
The drizzling rain stopped for a while and then started to rain again. It dripped like rat pee, then slowly turned into thick raindrops.
The ten warriors approaching the giant king, Kaisala, were drenched in rain before they knew it. The chilly night air penetrated their skin over their wet clothes, but they didn’t care at all.
The Demon King’s army around him cried strangely. It was a terrifying and terrifying sound, but it had no effect on the ten men who were prepared to die.
The demon king leisurely looked at the approaching warriors with arrogant gestures and expressions. A sense of superiority was clearly visible, saying that no matter how many things struggled, it wouldn’t work for me. … Of course, all the demon lords who were reverse summoned by Jihyeok came out this way at first.
The death knights, giant soldiers, demons, and numerous monsters around the giant king all seemed to number in the dozens.
Of course, there were team members who could blow magic and arrows behind the warriors, but it was true that they looked a little shabby compared to their power. But the warriors did not back down. … No, it would be more accurate to say that he could not back down.
In a way, they felt like humanity’s last line of resistance. It was not just an exaggeration that the continent collapsed when the capital collapsed. If this place, like the heart of the continent, collapses, of course, the talented people will be exhausted, so the consequences after that will be obvious.
Thus, all the warriors moved forward and further forward, holding their weapons with desperate determination.
All the team members watching them from behind prayed earnestly in unison. I hope everyone can defeat the Demon King safely. … However, even knowing that it would be impossible in reality, I tried my best to ignore it.
Miracle.
They liked the word miracle. I dreamed of unreality, not reality.
Because there are no people who don’t know the reality.
The warriors approaching the giant king began to move faster and faster. The two groups soon collided.
The demons sprayed curses, and it struggled to break through the buffs on the warriors and burrow into their bodies. The monsters rushed at me like worms.
But this time, Jihyeok showed his strength.
– Get out of the way now!!
The Demon King’s roar. It had an aura that made even the monsters that obeyed the demon lord flinch for a moment.
In fact, Ji-hyeok could summon monsters from the Demon Realm if he wanted to, but there were not one, but two reasons why it was difficult to do so. One was that it was hard to fully trust them, and the other was that the mana consumed for summoning was too vast.
Anyway, taking advantage of such a flinch, the warriors made a path by sweeping away the monsters in an instant.
But right after that, the death knights lined up and approached. With the support of the magician and the buff magician, the warriors struggled through them.
The next ones to appear are demons and giant soldiers.
This time, Jihyeok and Geralt also joined forces to deal with them. Geralt, a fighting maniac, was dazzlingly great.
From then on, Jihyeok began to use source power in earnest. He wielded a holy sword with his right hand, and used source power with his left hand to crush enemies.
The enemies were definitely good at hand-to-hand combat, befitting a giant corps. The black magic used was only very basic. … Of course, we’ll have to wait and see whether that’s fortunate or unfortunate.
The demon king stayed still until the devil came out, and when the giant soldier started moving, he moved too. As if to show that the giant army and himself are one body.
– Things like worms.
The giants laughed at the little warriors. It was the confidence that came from the difference in size. The saying that small peppers are spicy was not universally accepted. Big peppers were spicier now.
The orcs and troll warriors, who were on the slightly larger side, charged at them vigorously first. In an instant, the ten warriors mingled among the enemies.
Jihyeok and Geralt entrusted the minors to their fellow warriors and slowly approached the Demon King. Of course, the Giant King was looking down at the two approaching him with an arrogant expression.
– If you are born to be abandoned, no matter how well you grow up, you will be abandoned.
The Giant King gave off a terrifying aura. Jihyeok used the source power from the first bread. … The problem was that the opponent’s body was so large that it was difficult to tighten them with mana. In addition, the body was so strong that it did not budge even with tolerable strength.
While Jihyeok was awake with his source power, Geralt ran towards the demon king with all his might and hissed his sword. However, he also possessed agility that did not match his size.
Jihyeok gave up the idea of using source power to crush his body. The giant king was a little different from the demon king Puratremos last time.
He felt his body slowly heat up. It seemed that the dragon’s blood was beginning to boil when it sensed a strong opponent.
Whoop Whoop.
Jihyeok grabbed the holy sword and attacked the demon king. The quick and powerful blow was blocked by the demon king’s ax every time. … I knew it, but as expected, he was very difficult to deal with. Moreover, this time there is no magical firepower like the last round.
In particular, Geralt, who had only pure human strength, was overwhelmingly pushed by the Demon King in at least all physical aspects. … However, if there is a difference between the Demon King and Geralt, it is the depth of enlightenment.
Since the giant king was already so powerful from his birth, there was no particular need for enlightenment in martial arts. As long as he wields an axe anyway, he goes all out, so there is no need to focus on martial arts.
But humans are different. Humans are bound to regress unless they constantly become stronger. So he had to keep seeking enlightenment.
Geralt, who finds joy only in realization, felt even a slight euphoria at the powerful existence he had encountered for the first time in a while.
Maybe if I beat this guy, my long-cherished wish might come true.
Geralt released all the power he had been suppressing. Puss, the condensed mana in his body loosened one by one and began to exude fearsome energy.
Even the King of Giants, who did not lose his composure, was weakly alert. It was such a powerful energy.
Geralt’s body trembled weakly. It was a reaction caused by a powerful surge of mana in his body. Jihyeok recognized that he was determined to fight with all his heart. This was the true form of Geralt, first seen in the 14th decisive battle with the Great Demon King. … In fact, he never fought with the Demon King like this, so it would be more accurate to say that he hadn’t had a chance to see him.
I can’t lose either.
Ji-hyeok also began to release the dragon’s energy that had been stored in Yeouiju. If Geralt’s energy was like cold ice, Jihyeok’s energy was like a raging flame. Extreme energy exploded from the bodies of the two.
ㅡ!
There was no more composure on the giant king’s face. Then he burst into laughter.
– It seems that the insignificant creatures have a trick hidden in the grass.
A tremendous amount of demonic energy began to leak from his body. It was powerful enough to turn even his red skin black.
… And soon the three collided violently.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
The moment weapons collided, an enormous shockwave exploded and swept everywhere. They exchanged attacks like mad. Every time the Giant King swung his axe, tremendous wind pressure swelled up. As the dust flew, the hem of the warrior team fluttered together like a flag.
It was Jihyeok who allowed the first attack. Moving a little more boldly than Geralt, he blocked the flying ax head-on and flew into a building with its destructive power. He penetrated two buildings and stopped at the third stone wall. He lightly cleared away the rubble that had fallen on his body, jumped up again, and ran toward the Demon King. The hero’s eyes already resembled those of a dragon.
Ppahaaaaa
Jihyeok unexpectedly fired a breath at the giant king. Kaisala twisted her upper body slightly and withstood the breath with her muscular arms. The black muscular skin and some of the bones melted away, but it quickly recovered.
Geralt didn’t miss the moment and ran to the demon king and severed his leg. The severed leg turned into smoke, but as soon as it was restored, it kicked Geralt hard.
At the same time, Jihyeok cut off the arm hit by the breath with the holy sword.
ㅡ!
Jihyeok, who floated in the air for a moment, gritted his teeth as he saw the ax flying toward him. He used his source power to absorb the shock as much as possible. However, the moment was so fleeting that the shock could not be completely removed.
ㅡㅡ!!
Jihyeok was hit hard enough to crack the dirt floor. If he had been a normal person, he would have been shocked by the fact that his body was already muddy. But he only brushed his hair a couple of times and got up again.
The nosebleed flowed profusely. Jihyeok carelessly wiped the bottom of his nose with the back of his hand.
Enraged, the giant king screamed loudly and began spinning around with his axe. It completely devastated the surroundings.
The warrior team hurriedly retreated. However, some were crushed by the rubble of collapsed buildings. There were a few who died instantly, but most of them did not die.
The enraged demon king’s attack did not cover the enemy. The Giant Soldiers began to spread their distance as if they knew what would happen when the Demon King was enraged.
From then on, the giant king began to frantically chop everything in sight with his ax and beat with his fists. … It was like a huge catastrophe.
ㅡㅡㅡ!!!
Even Geralt, a battle maniac, backed away, not having the confidence to handle the demon king’s madness. Of course, it was the same with Jihyeok.
New dog.
Jihyeok did not back down. He rushed at the demon king, swung his sword at random, and fired his breath. To others, it was an insane hand-to-hand combat.
The giant king also fell for Ji-hyeok’s body headbutt once. Of course, it’s nothing compared to the number of times Jihyeok was beaten and knocked out.
Mandible mandible.
Every time Jihyeok breathed, burning smoke rose. The heat was so powerful that it began to sizzle and melt Jihyeok’s intestines. His intestines melted and then regenerated again and again. It must have been quite a bit of pain, but he was so excited that he felt nothing at this time.
Piaaaaa.
He fired his breath whenever he had a chance. Even the king of giants was a little burdened to hit it properly, so when he wanted to shoot his breath, he moved his body swiftly to avoid it.
After a fierce dog fight, the two of them stepped back for a moment to catch their breath. Then Geralt broke in again.
– Protect the master!
The giant soldier did not just watch. So this time, the warriors, who had been stepping back for a while and examining the situation, rushed.
Again the battlefield turned into chaos. Curses and buffs, magic and black magic collided with each other and competed in strength.
Whoop Whoop.
Jihyeok was hit by thick raindrops and regained his reason slightly. Then a terrible pain stabbed him in the head. The sensation of the internal organs bubbling and melting from the heat was indescribably painful. … But he had to put up with it. Somehow
… Strong too.
If the demon king Puratremos was a being with a mixture of physical and magical powers, the giant king Kaisala was a being completely incapable of physical power. It was rather difficult to deal with because it was so lopsided. It felt like hitting a physically resistant monster with a physical attack. That’s why he used to blow his breath often, but it’s enough to dodge it…
At that time, the Heavenly Demon, who had roughly organized the surroundings, joined the battlefield here. It was a big boon to Jihyeok. He honestly wanted to borrow a cat’s hand right now.
“I will help.”
If you can’t hit one, hit two, and if you can’t hit two, hit three. It was a very ignorant method, but now there was no other way.
Actually, it would have been a better situation if I had been able to pour magic, but I couldn’t do that right now. Moreover, didn’t the expedition corps have already wiped out the good wizards?
Soon, Geralt also stuck to his side, preparing to fight again.
The three strengthened their fighting spirit and raised their spirits. The King of Giants also tried to overpower them by pounding the ground roughly with an axe.
Suddenly, a powerful buff that fell from the sky permeated the surroundings.
This…
Jihyeok knew right away that this was Rosalia’s wide-area buff that borrowed the power of the divine spirit. Soon, the body was energized. He thought it was really worth doing.
“Let’s do it. … You can.”
When Jihyeok said that, the two elders raised their mouths.
They attacked the demon king again.
