Chapter 177: The World Of The Arrogant Giant (3)
The giants were strong. Even those who had not undergone special training could easily defeat C-class monsters.
But Taesan couldnt be certain.
Whether they had the power to fight transcendents like those in legends was unknown.
The God of Magic had told him that the giants once delved deeply into the mysteries of magic. But now, they could not remember themselves.
This was evident from the Lords reaction. The city, even by the standards of the giants, was quite large. Assuming the giants civilization level was similar to Earths medieval era, it was a solid territory.
Even the Lord of such a place did not properly understand magic.
That was strange.
At first, Taesan thought these giants were suppressing magic and denying the god of magic.
So he thought it was a quest like in the battlefield of the gods, where he had to confront those who were hostile to the god of magic.
However, the giants were not hostile towards magic.
They had simply forgotten about magic itself.
Taesan stretched out his hand into the air.
[You have activated a Frost Arrow.]
As the frozen arrow materialized, a judgement was made.
[Mental Control Judgement in progress.]
[Judgement Successful!]
This judgement always came when using magic.
Is it because of this?
The reason the giants, who once deeply researched magic, had forgotten it. It was just a theory, but it seemed highly plausible.
Taesan canceled the Frost Arrow. Finding out why magic was forgotten seemed important, but he had to address the immediate issue first.
The most important goal was to earn the right to meet the king.
And as a foreigner, he had to achieve a feat to meet the king.
After pondering for a moment, Taesan stood up. There was a limit to thinking while sitting quietly in a room. Such matters required action to find a solution.
The night passed, and the next day, Taesan went out to the fortress and waited for someone. Soon, he met Umberak, who was sweaty and had a relieved expression.
Phew. It was an enjoyable fight today as well.
Hello.
Hm? A human?
Upon discovering Taesan, Umberak looked concerned.
I wont stop you from wandering, but itd be better to be careful. If youre unlucky, you might get stepped on.
That wont be a problem.
Indeed. Youve already defeated the Black Plunderer, so being stepped on shouldnt kill you.
Umberak grinned. His armor was roughly beaten, and his hair was disheveled. Taesan asked.
Youve been fighting?
Ive been dealing with the monsters from the rift you saw yesterday. Those annoying creatures. Enjoyable fights are satisfying, but theyre tiring.
Umberak narrowed his eyes. It was problematic for him, the territory lord, to deal with them every day despite being able to defeat them without issue. There was no telling when another problem might arise.
Hearing this, Taesan realized something strange.
Cant you block the rift itself?
Taesan had already blocked a purple rift on Earth.
But upon hearing Taesans words, Umberak shook his head.
Temporary measures are possible, but we lack the power to completely block it. Only the kings great warriors can do that. And they are too busy to come to a remote territory like this.
From Umberaks words, Taesan realized what he needed to do to meet the king.
When will the next rift open?
It opens twice a day on a regular schedule. It seems like it will open again tonight.
Ill go with you then.
At Taesans words, Umberaks eyes widened.
Are you serious?
Yes. Its not impossible, right?
Its not impossible, but are you sure?
Worry filled Umberaks gaze.
There was no trace of disdain or insult, just a look truly concerned for Taesans safety.
Taesan smiled.
Theres no need to worry.
That night, Taesan arrived at the site of the rift following the giants.
Many giants at the rift site looked at Taesan with worried eyes.
Taesan felt an emotion similar to what he had sensed from Umberak but calmly ignored the giants gaze.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
The rift will open in a few minutes. Sigh. Since you insist, I cant stop you.
Umberak sighed. He had planned to continue the festival with the foreigner for a few days, but now he worried about the foreigners life. Naturally, he was concerned.
Unfazed, Taesan asked a question.
Thats a rift of the ancient gods, isnt it?
They were not afraid of death.
But there were clear limits.
The opponents were several B-class monsters. The only one who could fight a monster one-on-one was the strongest, Umberak. The other giants also attacked the monsters together but continued to sustain injuries, big and small.
Seeing this, Taesan started to move.
Umberak, who was enjoying the battle, became alarmed.
Human! Back off! Its dangerous here!
Unlike the usual monsters, there was no room to protect him. He urgently shouted, but Taesan did not stop his steps.
As soon as Taesan appeared on the battlefield, the monsters behavior changed. Pushing away the giants they were fighting, the monsters rushed towards Taesan.
Three monsters, rivaling the giants in size, charged at Taesan. Umberak tried to help Taesan but couldnt shake off the monster in front of him.
The monsters attacked Taesan.
Taesan lightly thrust his fist forward.
With a crushing sound, the monsters were sent flying. Umberaks eyes widened in shock at this sight.
Now B-class is just routine.
He had already defeated A-class monsters during his previous return.
Even if several B-class monsters attacked him, it wouldnt pose a significant problem.
Did they think this would be enough, or was this the best they could do?
Considering the forced way the monsters had entered through the rift, the latter seemed more likely.
Taesan kept moving.
Drawing his sword, he dived into the midst of the monsters.
With a crushing sound.
[Monster 91221 took 2285 damage.]
He plunged his sword in. Dodging the descending arm of the monster, he launched a frost arrow, piercing through it. At the same time, an unpleasant sensation crept into his mind, but he shook it off.
So its these things after all.
The discomfort he felt every time he used magic had intensified.
But it wasnt significant enough to hinder him, so Taesan continued to confront the monsters.
Umberak and the other giants watched Taesans battle with dumbfounded expressions.
What is this
They knew Taesan was strong, but they thought he was just at the level of a weak foreigner, far below that of a giant.
They believed he had defeated the Black Plunderer by exploiting its carelessness due to its small size, not in a serious fight.
That wasnt just his own thought.
All the giants believed so.
They were the strongest beings in the world.
The Labyrinth, where gods resided, was of no importance to them.
Magic was nothing to them.
They looked down on the outside world, devaluing its level. With no interaction with the outside world, their prejudices gradually became their reality.
But now, right before their eyes, that perception was being shattered.
[You have activated Thunderbolt.]
Lightning pierced through the monsters. The very magic they had disdained was dealing effective damage to the monsters they struggled against.
With a crushing sound.
One monster fell like that.
Umberak, snapping back to reality, clenched his teeth.
We are giants.
They couldnt just stand by and let a human handle everything. Shaking off his shock, he shouted.
Giants! Are you going to just watch this small human handle everything?
The giants eyes lit up.
Their pride lifted them.
After that, it was simple. Even Taesan alone could have defeated them all, but with the giants joining in, the monsters were swiftly eliminated.
[Your Soul Ascension has activated. ??? skill proficiency increased by 1%.]
Thanks to defeating several B-class monsters, his total proficiency increased by 4%.
It was a decent harvest.
Umberak looked at Taesan with wavering eyes.
You are
Before that.
Taesan stood in front of the purple rift.
Umberak had said that only the kings great warriors could stop the rift.
Taesan thrust his sword into the rift. The rift twisted wildly, resisting Taesan. It was an eerie sight, as if the rift itself screamed, but Taesan overpowered it with his strength.
Eventually, the twisting rift surrendered to Taesan and vanished.
The giants, watching this, were struck with astonishment.
Is this enough to meet your king?
