“I don’t like this place anytime.”

Abel said to himself. He was walking on the ground that was all white. It was a world inhabited by giants. An empty, cold wind, reminiscent of winter in the slums, brushed my cheeks.

In a world where even a single grain of sand was white, there was no color to be found. The headquarters of Nebula Clazie was decorated somewhat similarly, but it still did not compare to the original.

When I looked up, I saw a white sky. In the clouds that completely covered the stars, a huge magic circle disappeared and reappeared repeatedly. It was a passage used by giants who went hunting or returned.

not too busy It was the car that recited Abel’s steps. A low, thick voice echoed overhead.

『You who were born in mortality. Where did you dare to come here?”

“Stop those presumptuous steps.”

“Ah…that’s right.”

Abel got down on one knee and looked up. Two giants were looking down on him from directly above. Judging by the fact that they each had four pairs of wings, they were not very high-status individuals.

Whoa! The wind from the flapping of the wings periodically swept in all directions. It was a raging wind that could have crushed a human being, but Abel was not affected by it. His translucent body was made of spirit, not body. One of the giants who had been staring at Abel opened his mouth.

『You…you are a face in my memory.

』

Abel nodded. Perhaps it was because he periodically showed his face, but he didn’t attack recklessly anymore. Clearing his throat once, he spoke as politely as possible.

“I came to see him.”

『What the…』

The giants flinched. The already hardened sides became even harder.

They didn’t say anything for a long while, and Abel didn’t particularly rush. Abel knew that the giants were communicating with a being they called ‘He’.

‘Share your senses. It’s really convenient.’

Abel waited with his head bowed in silence. In the silence that was longer than expected, a voice that I would not normally have recognized was heard.

-help me.

– I didn’t do anything wrong!

-Please take it out… please…

It was a small sound like a whisper. The language was different, but the meaning was intelligible. The cries of countless people were heard from within the bodies of the giants.

Abel knew that these were the voices of the souls killed by the giants. They became one with the great race and enjoyed eternal life, but they didn’t seem very happy.

Abel smiled bitterly. Soon those who remained on the surface would meet a similar fate. Of course, your situation is very different from mine. Then one of the giants who had been silent spoke.

『Go back. He doesn’t want to see you.”

“…is it today?”

Abel’s brow narrowed. It worked as expected, but it still didn’t feel good to be rejected. he continued.

“Please don’t do that, just say it one more time. I’m struggling to dedicate a whole star to it, so wouldn’t it be okay if I asked you that much?”

“I won’t say it twice. Go back.]

Suddenly, the two giants reached out their hands at the same time. Particles of light began to gather inside the white grip. Anyway, these bald heads couldn’t talk. Abel looked up and let out a deep sigh.

“I don’t know what makes it so difficult to ask for your face to shine at least once. I assure you, if you come to me laughing at my motherhood, you might get angry.”

“You are arrogant. Mortals cannot defeat us.

”

『What the…』

The speechless giants shut their mouths. Abel slowly raised his head. His gaze was no longer that of a servile requester. Now was the time to build a fence.

“Why are you afraid?”

Abel sneered. It was at this moment that one corner of his mouth smirked. Kwajik! A spear of light that flew in from somewhere pierced Abel’s back.

“Ouch…”

Abel sighed. I couldn’t even see how fast it was. As I barely followed the trajectory, I raised my head and saw the swirling sky above my head.

‘That’s it.’

It was a huge whirlpool that seemed to wind around the entire star. There was a black hole in the center where the spear fell. Abel instinctively sensed that something was looking down at him from beyond.

Pod! The moment he was about to say something, his vision darkened. Abel, who opened his eyes again, raised his upper body as if bouncing.

“Huh…!”

My head was dizzy. He was sitting alone in a secret room. It was a secret room located in the headquarters. It seemed that the mental body was destroyed and the consciousness returned to the original body.

“Your temper is dirty once.”

Abel got up from his seat. My whole body was drenched in a cold sweat. I could still feel the piercing in my chest. Under his feet, a magic circle was drawn to communicate with the world of giants.

‘I asked for the bait.’

Abel, who was scratching his chest, smiled. The stupid bald heads didn’t do the favor after all, but it didn’t matter now. It was undoubtedly ‘the person’ who threw the spear of light at the end.

I’ve done everything I can with this. What was left was up to the few remaining men and Iril.

Suddenly, memories of the past passed before my eyes. Looking back, I lived by following Cain and cutting down many opponents. From the savage nomadic tribes to the machine corps of the Dainhar Empire. He straightened the scabbard on his waist and left the room.

“Where shall we see how much better?”

****

“Stop surrendering now!”

cried Marja. She jumped forward and swung her greatsword horizontally. The blade, longer and thicker than her body, had the same red color as Ronan’s blood.

“You cheeky bitch!”

“Do we look so funny!”

The followers who were fighting a battle on top of the castle wall were enraged and rushed at them. Marja’s momentum was good, but even so, they couldn’t pierce their armor and shields.

Kang! It was the moment they raised their shields and took a defensive stance. The greatsword that dug in without stopping cut through the waists of the followers as it passed. The man who had lost his senses under the pit of the stomach let out a bewildered look.

“uh?”

“You look funny!”

Marja shouted again. Only the upper half of the body of the remaining believers fell to the floor. Wow! The slash that flew without stopping collided with the watchtower next to it. The watchtower, whose roots were cut off in a single blow, collapsed under the castle wall.

“It is a monster!”

“What kind of power…”

Surprise erupted from all over. The plate armor she was wearing was unscathed even in the fierce melee. The armor shimmering in aurora colors was an item that Ronan had brought from Aurora Skal a while ago.

Armed with heavy armor and a greatsword, Marja proudly cut through the enemy in the lead. When I turned my head, I saw Braum fighting while protecting his allies. bang! After blocking the branch leader Furan’s mace, he shouted while striking the great shield with the back of his sword.

“Is that all it is! Try harder!”

“How dare you open your mouth…!”

Enraged Furan swung his mace, using it until it reached an aura. The blow was much more powerful than before, but Braum blocked it nicely. hooked! In the end, a soldier in Puran’s blind spot pierced his waist with a spear.

“Cuck!”

Furan, who vomited blood from his mouth, fell forward. At the same time, five or six spears rained down on his body. After confirming that the enemies of the Outer Castle had been wiped out, Braum looked back at Marja and shouted.

“This is over!”

“Here too!”

Marja replied. The voices of the two big people resounded loudly. Having broken through to the last fortress, they were sweeping away the internal resistance along with the allied forces. Looking outside the walls, eight forts that had already been captured caught my eye.

“…I did it.”

It was an emotionally charged sight. Eight Allied flags fluttered above the lofty walls. Orsay and the Grand Duke of Shadow were shooting down the remaining artificial giants as they scrambled through the sky. Asher’s voice echoed not far away.

“Everyone has to pay for their crimes!”

“…Cutie.”

Marja blushed with shame. It didn’t take long before he realized how arrogant he was when he declared that he would protect Asher before the battle began.

Asher rode on Orsay’s back and was shooting huge ice spikes in all directions. The magic strengthened by Elizabeth’s aura was much more powerful than usual.

【Gagging!】

【Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

! hooked! The giants hit by the unmelting ice were falling, vomiting blood. It usually died in one hit, and no instance survived more than three hits. Orse, who transformed into a dragon, burst into a hearty laugh.

【Khahaha! That’s it, a killing machine!]

“Hehehe! Don’t you fly too fast!”

Asher let out a shrill scream. Marja laughed. The adventures he had done so far and the learning he had done at Phileon were not in vain.

i have to work harder It was the moment when she made up her mind and turned around. A number of screams echoed from the depths of the citadel.

“The morning star of my empire is coming!”

“Escape to Bo Nature! Close the door and lock it!”

All the followers who were fighting a desperate fight were retreating to the castle. Their faces, which had been so spleen, could only see fear and despair.

Moving her gaze in the direction they were running, Marja opened her eyes wide. The road to hell was unfolding. The number of corpses torn to shreds could not be counted. Clearly, there was no such thing until a little while ago.

“Schlieffen.”

Marja knew that those neat cuts were all traces of Schlieffen’s storm blade. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the person who committed the most murders today. Schlieffen was running toward the castle, trampling on the path of the corpse he had created.

The pale rod held in his left hand scattered cool blue light. Each time he hit the floor, the gap was rapidly closing.

“Close it! close! Close it!”

“Don’t let the de come in!”

The believers were screaming as if they were children. Kururureung…! The gates of introspection were closing fast. In order to destroy the specially designed gate, the allied forces had to spend quite a bit of effort.

“Oh, no!”

However, Schlieffen narrowly penetrated inside just before the door closed. thud! The moment he entered the inner sanctuary, the gate was closed.

“Haaaaagh!”

“Please save me!”

More desperate screams began to ring out. In the middle, the sound of blowing wind was mixed. Even the advancing allied forces stopped and swallowed their saliva.

“……!”

At some point, the screaming stopped. No more voices could be heard from inside the gate. One soldier opened his mouth.

“Is it over…?”

No answer came back. The soldiers exchanging glances with each other stepped forward. Aaaaaang! The ceiling of the inner sanctuary was shattered and a huge whirlwind soared up.

“Huh uh uh uh!”

“Mi crazy…!”

The whirlwind made of sharp winds seemed to be several tens of meters in diameter. Fragments of buildings and shredded corpses were scattered in all directions.

A human figure soared from the center of the whirlwind. widely! Landing on top of the tallest watchtower, Schlieffen shouted loudly.

“Oh Navardo! I’m done!”

It was unbelievably loud that the always quiet Schlieffen had uttered it. The cry that spread across the battlefield reached Navardoze, who was waiting.

[Confirmed.]

The protection of the stars that blocked the headquarters of the forts was disappearing. Navardoze nodded. Between her gaping mouths, a ball of fire was so hot and bright that even a small sun could be believed.

Now is the time. Navardoze, who had been inhaling all along, exhaled for the first time. A sphere of flame was launched towards the Pale Castle.
