No way So huge!?
Arnolds gaze stiffened, seeing the green giant that suddenly appeared. Nay, it was not just him. Everyone, aside from Bea-Johnny, who stood there was at a loss for words, rely staring at it as if they were a third party.
Its ugly, right~? I also wanted it to look more beautiful, but given that it was created by synthesising monsters, I suppose its fine for it to co out this ugly~. Let introduce it. This is Ugly Giant! yelled Bea-Johnny at the top of the checkpoint. Ill be leaving the rest to it~
Just as he was about to leave the checkpoint,
Hold right there!
Ionis looked at him with a face full of wrath that she usually never showed.
Whats the matter~?
Are you running?
Ahaha, intending to avenge that man? Thats an ugly emotion~
Kh
Then try and overco this~. Ill be waiting in the royal castle so co and kill .
Instantly, he emitted an unbelievable level of bloodthirst, bringing about an intimidating air enough to bring tension in the air and prick their skin. His easygoing nature from before had, unthinkably, vanished in but an instant.
He looked down on her with cold eyes and serious expression, but it was quickly replaced by his usual grin.
Se you~
With those words, Bea-Johnny vanished from that spot. And at the sa ti, a terrific sound of destruction struct everyones ears. It was caused by the giant crushing the checkpoint as it advanced.
We cant let it destroy the bridge nya! Everyone, stop that thing nya!
Each step it took shook the ground, leaving the giant footprints behind as it advanced towards the bridge. If they let it approach the bridge like this, there was a high chance that it would be destroyed.
They finally captured the bridge after so many sacrifices, planning to use it as a way for supplies and marching, so their effort would co to nought were it to be destroyed.
Everyone present understood that they had to stop the bridge from being destroyed by any possible ans.
The soldiers still present on the bridge all lined up into a wall to stop the giants advance.
However, as the giant swung its mighty arm towards the ground, they were assaulted by a power comparable to a small explosion.
Stop close combat! Weaken it with Magic and Binding!
Reacting to Ionis yell, everyone took distance and started to attack with their Magic and Binding. However, although they found Binding to be usable, they were, for so reason, unable to use Magic. Due to that, the Evila soldiers started to fall into disorder.
Whats going onAh!
Ionis suddenly rembered about the red stone Bea-Johnny destroyed. Looking around her, she noticed the stone fragnts were still faintly floating in the air, roughly in a 30-ter radius.
Dont tell
She quickly left its range and tried to cast Magic once more. And this ti, she was certainly able to use it.
That red stone seems to be a crystal that generates the Magic Negation Field
It appeared that no magic could be used within its range.
Everyone! Take more distance! If you do, you will be able to use magic again!
Ionis shared her point with Crouch and the rest and gained their consent. After that, Gabranth took the position of vanguards, while Evila acted as rear guards and attacked with Magic. Fire, wind, water, lighting and such various elental attacks were discharged towards the Giant. However, when it ca to Magical attacks, they dispersed and disappeared the mont they entered the field where the red stone fragnts drifted.
So they disappear even if they are discharged from the outsidewhat else can we?
It appeared that, even if Magic was usable from the outside, it would still be turned invalid once it entered the range. The soldiers also felt perplexed, unable to think of another way. At any rate, now that Magic was turned unusable, the only choice left was to fight it using weapons like swords. It seed that Ionis was feeling jealous of Binding for the first ti as she was looking at the Beastn with envy.
She ordered Evila to attack from a distance with bows and such to the best of their ability, but after about ten minutes had passed, she noticed that the drifting red particles had started to thin out.
Wait.
Thinking that, she used Magic inside the range and it worked as she expected it would. It turned out that even that negation had its ti-limit. After letting the Evila soldiers know of that fact, they all beca delighted to find out that they would be able to use Magic once again and started attacking with it all at once.
As their target was big, all their attacks landed, and the soldiers finally found hope, screaming things like We are doing it! and Keep attacking!
However, as the smoke of the attacks cleared up, what appeared was almost unhurt Giant. Moreover, even the injuries it did suffer were healing on the spot.
Are you telling that it could even self-regenerate!
As Arnold stated, it seed that the Giant was indeed bestowed the ability to self-regenerate and the injuries it suffered were healing in the blink of an eye and returned to its original state.
Even the swords and spears piercing its green skin were being pushed out and falling to the ground. You could say it was not taking any damage at all.
Oh co on, just how can we deal with sothing like this! Ah! Muir, get back!
Arnold saw Muir as she was about to be trampled by the Giant. However, Muir nimbly moved her small body and escaped from that place.
Are you alright, Muir!
Yes, Uncle! B-But what should we do? At this rate, everyone will
Soldiers who ford a wall to sohow stop the Giants advance were much like a wall made of sand for it, and it was able to continue advancing while lightly shrugging them off.
It was like a fight between an adult and a child, nay, a bear and a child. It did not even view them as opponents, rely swatting them away like flies with its limbs and scattering them apart.
What if we seal its movents with Io-chans Magic?
Hearing Muirs proposal, everyone looked at Ionis with expectant looks. However, the person in question rely looked at them apologetically.
Whats the matter, Io-chan?
You are right Ios Magic should work on it as long as its not made of Magic.
T-then!
But, with a Giant like that No, never mind, let give it a try for now.
Ah, but just now-
Ionis grasped the Kaiten in each hand and broke into a run towards the Giant. She arrived at its bosom while dodging the Giants attacks.
Then she did a big leap towards its face and released her Kaiten at it. They accurately landed near its brows, but it only caused the Giants face to bend back a bit with no real damage dealt.
Ionis landed with a spin, then touched the ground and started discharging the magnetism.
Sink!
Just as the electrical discharge phenonon rose up from the ground, the Giants movent ca to a halt and its giant head started gradually dropping towards the ground.
You did it! Good job, Io-chan!
Muir, as well as everyone else, started grinning from feeling delighted at the fact that they could stop this Giant with this just like it was with Nigg and Bea-Johnny.
However, its falling face suddenly ca to a stop.
GAGAGAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
It released a yell so terrific everyone had to cover their ears, and the pressure it brought forth blew off everyone around it. Ionis was no exception to that and forcefully crashed to the ground.
With that, the Magic seed to have lost its effect and Giant started to freely rage about.
No way Io-chans Magic has no effect?
Kh
Io-chan! Are you okay!?
Muir rushed to Ionis who laid fallen to the ground.
Ugh As expected, Ios Magic is hardly effective on such a giant body
It seed that she had already figured it out but tried attacking it anyway, only for it to end as she expected.
Just now, it was that thing, right? The Magic Warding Roar.
But Uncle isnt that a power only the particular races of Beastn can use?
Yeah, Im not sure what kind of being that enormous thing is, but it was exactly like the one I saw before.
You have seen it before, Uncle?
Yeah, you should know about it too, Muir.
Arnolds words caught Muir off guard. And then, Arnold continued with his answer.
Its about your father.
F-Father!?
Yeah, the Magic Warding Roar should have a magic-repelling effect. It was the speciality of your father.
I see, so it was fathers.
Muir slightly cast her eyes down with a ek expression, seemingly recalling her deceased father. Then she swung her head side to side to abandon the idea and continued.
If Magic does not affect it, then what should we do, Uncle?
No, Im not saying that Magic has no effect at all. All Im saying that the Magic will be repelled with that roar. And that usually uses a massive amount of power, so its not sothing you can use so easily, but
Looking at the Giant moving about with no visible fatigue made him frown in displeasure.
It looks quite lively to but anyway, dont assu that Magic has no effect! Like we saw before, it seems that it has little resistance to fire and wind. If everyone showers it with the concentrated attacks of those two attributes, we might be able to at least stop its advance.
Indeed, it seed that fire and wind Magic and Binding were especially effective compared to the other attributes, and could easily wound its skin. Of course, even that quickly healed with its regeneration, but if they concentrated it in one spot, they would be able to deal far more damage, such was Arnolds idea.
Sounds good nya! Lets go with Arnolds idea nya!
Got it! Everyone who can use those two attributes, gather up!
Hearing Ionis words, Evila and Gabranth soldiers started assembling in succession.
Ill explain what we have to do! We are going to concentrate fire and wind attribute attacks into one spot and attack the Giant! We are first going to aim for its right leg!
Indeed, if they aid at its legs, parts that it advanced with, and managed to destroy it, they would be able to hinder its advance.
The soldiers, despite their tense expressions, found hope of stopping the Giant with the suggested plan and responded energetically.
They ford respective units of fire and wind and positioned themselves on each side of the Giant, sandwiching it between them.
Listen everyone nya! Aim for its right leg as it takes a step forward nya!
By concentrating fire and wind attacks from left and right to the sa spot, they judged that it would definitely deal a large amount of damage to the Giant.
Everyone else distract the Giant so it doesnt attack the units on either side nya!
If the Giant directed its attention towards those units the plan was highly likely to fail, so Crouch ordered the ones in front of the Giant to provoke it.
While everyone else was desperately pulling its attention by Magic and Binding from a distance, the two units on its sides started gathering powers to discharge their respective strongest moves.
Magic power was being gathered in them at a terrific speed. Everyone believed that this much would be enough to at least destroy its right leg.
But then, the Giants movent stopped. Perhaps it was getting ready for another Magic Warding Roar. Thinking that to be the case, Crouch signalled the two squads with her hand to hold off the attack for now.
The soldiers, too, felt that once the roar ended and it started moving once again, it would be the perfect ti to attack. However, their expectations were cruelly betrayed.
Suddenly, the Giants stomach swelled up with a dangerous light in its eyes. And then, the mont those eyes caught sight of the fire unit on its left, it opened its giant mouth
and released a condensed lump of light, filled with killing intent.
