Chapter 70: Growth
As they stepped out of the tent, they immediately recognized the source of the disturbing noise. Trees with relatively thin trunks were being kicked down one after another by people who looked to be four or five meters tall.
Why they would do such a thing was unknown, but Shion had an idea about that huge race.
“A Giant…”
He had fought a battle once in the past. The giant was alone and was hired by the demon tribe. Of course, he was victorious, but his size and dragon-like strength surprised even Shion at the time.
‘A long time ago, I visited a village of giants. Not all of them are bad people, but …… they are’
Haku’s eyes are cold because the giant is drooling out of the side of his mouth and his eyes look like those of a person who has completely lost it.
Just as there are ten different kinds of humans, there are also ten different kinds of giants, good, bad, and wise. This time, it’s the bad one huh—Shion thinks after noticing that his eyes looked vaguely like those of the elven women.
And behind the giant, a much shorter man, and woman - compared to the giant - walked up.
“Master, is it possible that that Giant is also being manipulated?”
“Possibly”
Shion felt the same way as Kuna. The look in his eyes was very similar to the female elf from earlier.
The human man and woman behind him commanded him to stop, and the giant dutifully obeyed.
“Oya, oya, oya…? Iva, what the hell is going on here? There’s a bunch of Resistance fighters taking a nap”
“Non, non! You’re so silly, Abarth! They’re not asleep—they’ve been attacked. Look over there, they must be the ones who did it”
Abarth is a slender, gentle-looking young man who looks more languid than he should. His silver hair is long enough to cover his ears, but he wears a hair ornament on the side of his head. His weapon of choice is a short sword that he wears on his hip.
Iva, on the other hand, is an older woman with wavy hair and an unbuttoned shirt that shows off her ample bosom. Her lipstick is dark and her sex appeal is strong. She carries a whip as her weapon of choice.
One thing they have in common is that they both make large gestures and use an acting tone. However, despite their appearance, Zion believes that they are capable people.
The way they walked and their vibes were something that could not be hidden. It would be dangerous to get into a fight, so Shion asked Kuna to move the elf to a safer place.
Abarth and Iva start to flirt with each other, especially since the bystanders have gone.
“Nnnh, they’re strong. They’re strong Ivaa. I don’t think I can defeat them…”
“What are you wimping out on? That …… man, oh my god, he’s so handsome with that black hair”
“Wait, Iva! You can’t have an affair! The other day, you were doing naughty things with a muscle-bound guy you met at a bar without me seeing!”
“I already apologized to you. I mean, Abarth killed that guy in a mess. …… You’re so jealous”
“Of course!! I’ll kill that man!”
Seeing Abarth glaring at him with a huge fighting spirit, Shion let out a sigh and asked one question.
“You’re with the Reaper’s Chain?”
The reply was not immediate, and the two looked at each other as they talked. They looked at each other and talked about whether or not it would be a problem to talk about it. They agreed that they would kill him anyway, so there was no problem.
“I think it’s more accurate to say that I’m both a Reaper’s Chain and Hero’s Acolyte. We are the valiant servants of the hero”
“Of Brainwash Hero?”
“Oh, you’re right. You’re quite perceptive, aren’t you? It makes me annoyed. What should I do? I’ll just crush his face, break his nose, take out his eyeballs, break all his teeth, and make him beg for his life”
“Wait, wait, wait. We don’t need to get Abarth out there. We’ll leave it to the Giant. Isn’t that enough? Right?”
“I’m not going to forgive you if you do anything weird with that guy before we kill him, okay…? But well, I guess it’s just as well to see what he’s capable of. Giant, kill all of them”
Despite the emptiness in his eyes, the Giant responds quickly to Abarth’s commands and runs at full speed. The giant race is famous for their skill in battle, and not just because they are huge.
On top of that physique, many of them have a threatening athleticism. They’re not very good at magic, but that more than makes up for it.
He swung his foot at Shion as if he were a giant kicking a ball. It’s best not to take the kick that comes at you as it cuts through the wind. Shion dodged it first, rolling on his side.
The counterattack will be done by his friends.
“OoOoOh……!!”
The giant takes a couple of steps back.
It was caused by an arrow lodged in his shoulder.
“It’s inexcusable that you tried to trample Master!!”
After evacuating her companions, Kuna fired arrows one after another. It’s also reinforced with a magic bow, so it can easily hurt even the strongest muscles of giants. The accuracy and power of the attack made even the giant unable to move.
“With this, it’s the end”
The magic stone glows red when it is fitted into the magic bow, and Kuna strikes another special arrow. As soon as it hits the enemy’s forehead it causes an explosion and burns his face.
Unable to offer any resistance, the giant fell on its back, its eyeballs moving in circles before it lost consciousness.
Confident of his victory, Kuna put her 2 fingers to her head in a salute.
“I was able to show my master that it wasn’t just my body that had grown!”
The smile of a pure and innocent girl, without a single falsehood, glows.
