144 – Chapter 44. Burn in the Storm – 5
– 145 –
The wind that has brought the storm moves in search of another sea according to its free nature.
The rain that seemed to fall forever began to subside.
I once again faced the giant who shrouded in darkness at the edge of the storm.
The giant, whose body was shrouded in darkness like an abyss, was broken everywhere.
By looking at the broken helmet and the armor that barely catches the light, I could tell that my friends did quite well.
Even so, the ignorant large sword in his hand was still a threat, so he stopped at a distance that could not be reached even if he stretched out his sword and prepared a preemptive attack.
Start by making a wind path.
According to my will, the wind spirits infuse magical power into the Mana Stone.
The wind blowing from all directions became my weapon.
The long tornado from the main body shed heavy raindrops, and the Hellfire that was shot through it flew hundreds of meters and hit the body of the giant.
Black flames stuck to the surface of the armor made of darkness.
The flame burned by consuming darkness, and tens of thousands of sparks were lit.
The rain of fireworks also fell on the rainy sea.
The giant approached at high speed, regardless of the fact that his armament was burning.
I couldn’t see the lower body moving, but if the sea was still now, wouldn’t you be able to hear the sound of a big splash of water?
“Huh?”
Wait.
Come to think of it, this guy doesn’t move his legs from a while ago.
They’re fake giants. They’re like scarecrows hanging from ships, but these guys are real.
It is difficult to say that they walked on the ground under the sea, and they maintained the same height as the fake giants from a fairly distant sea.
The North Sea is famous for being quite deep, and as long as he is not floating in the water, no matter how tall a giant is, he will be submerged to the end of his head.
But it doesn’t look like you can walk on the sea.
Maybe…….
The clue of the attack flashed in my mind.
In an instant, my brain started to run faster.
I found the hint of attack, so it will probably not be difficult to defeat it.
For now, I’ll have to avoid the sword falling over his head.
It avoided the sword of a giant who had come so close with his fine manipulation skills, and released the power of the wind again to rekindle the previously set fire.
Hellfire, which was gradually extinguished by the storm, bloomed dark red.
The giant faltered and retreated only after more than half of the armor covering his body had disappeared.
However, it seemed quite impatient to wield a sword that could not be hit until the end.
The endlessly regenerated darkness was consumed by the same endlessly burning hellfire and gradually disappeared.
Now the giant was exposing the bright light of his body.
“Didn’t you learn light control?”
When we hurriedly accelerated towards the man who had suffered us the most, and returned to the giant’s back, he began to turn very slowly.
If I had been on the sea with my feet, it wouldn’t have been that slow.
Isn’t it because I was looking slow?
I stared at the giant’s feet.
You have to break the bridge of the guy in the storm covered in darkness.

Perhaps, like the Scarecrow, it was more likely to be in a boat.
“Anyone, one person. Would you like to use some detection magic on his feet?”
[[I will]]
While one of the wind spirits performed the detection magic, he caught the giant’s gaze by holding the unstable aircraft.
After a few seconds, the spirit’s words were heard.
[[Captain. Scan completed. It took a while because the jamming was so bad.]]
“Okay. What is the situation?”
[[As the commander ordered, I concentrated the detection magic at the feet of the giant, but there was something foreign under it. Most likely there are large floats, such as carrier-class ships.]]
“Of course.”
The giant began to darken his torso again, but now there was nothing to see above.
It descended like a helicopter and came down close to the sea level.
And as we approached the giant’s feet in pitch black darkness, it bent down and attacked lowly as if in a maddening mood.
I would have kicked myself if my legs were fine, but I don’t risk falling into the sea.
You seem to have plenty of time.
“Armed Control Team. We will test the newly added armament.”
[[Aye, sir!]]
Two fire spirits and one wind spirit answered vigorously.
The three spirits extracted a large amount of magical power from the mana stones used as fuel.
Magic energy flowed into the newly attached Fire Manastone.
The giant didn’t just stand still.
A black object like a tentacle stretched out with a force to pierce the helicopter and covered the field of vision.
However, I was preparing in advance, so I broke the lever and played the pedal to avoid it and lowered the nose in a direction close to the sea level.
“[[Fire.]]”
The red magic stone flickered brightly, and the air heated up enough to heat up the cabin.
I was worried that the window with the Fire Manastone would melt, but the fire created with magical power was controlled by me and the spirits, and I prepared to pour out all its ferocious momentum towards the enemy.
“[[Wind.]]”
The green manastone glows, creating a storm in the storm.
The passage of wind from the helicopter continued to the great darkness that obscured the giant’s legs.
“What is the technical name?”
[[Boss. Let’s shoot it first.]]
“Still, it’s a fatal move… ….”
[[Uh-huh. I don’t have time.]]
These guys don’t know romance.
After being bullied by subordinates, a good name came to mind.
“[[Ignis.]]”
With the name of the technology that can be called the true name of Hellfire, a black and white flame whirlwind swept down the darkness.
“It’s been a while, warriors.”
“Oh, yes! How are you, Arumanan?”
“Yes. There are no health problems.”
The warriors and Arumanan have been meeting frequently over the past half year as the upper part of the Alliance.
Erif has a common topic, so they got to know each other well and flew towards the island as they greeted each other.
“Arumanan. What are you worried about?”
When Shane asked a question, who felt puzzled by her voice, Arumanan cautiously opened the door.
“Actually, there was a conflict where the Allied Forces were gathered. I’m tired because I’ve been cleaning it up.”
Knowing that Aruma Nan is always suffering, the warriors nodded her head.
“Really. Where did the demons gather?”
Sometimes they had a hectic day due to the battle, and it was difficult to communicate with the outside, so the warriors who did not hear the result naturally wondered about the spies inside the alliance.
“It’s not about communication. Let’s defeat the enemies first, gather and talk.”
“Oh, that’s right. Sorry.”
“No. Even veteran soldiers often make mistakes, well.”
While they were talking, they almost reached the island.
“A giant?”
“There’s a flag at the back of the island.”
“I think I knocked one down.”
The size of the island is not small, and there is a high mountain in the center, so it is difficult to see the giant in the distance.
All of a sudden, the storm got weaker, and a few ships appeared on the sea near the island.
It seems that battleships with large displacements came out to fight giants.
Gold Dragon and the air battleship Arumanan finally reached the island.
The port and village, which could not be seen due to their location, were hidden by the mountains surrounding the island.
“Ah… ….”
“I received a call from the Bartiers. This is not a good situation.”
Overturned ships and corpses filled the harbor.
A village that was horribly ruined within a few hours, the governor’s residence that was damaged beyond recognition, a broken shield and a half-destroyed port.
The warriors had already seen it several times, but the horrors of war were not easily accustomed to it.
However, medium-sized and larger ships came out safely to the sea and were dealing with giants.
“Currently, the Bartiers is said to be dealing with a giant from the back of the island. The warriors…….”
“We.”
“I will save people.”
Chermia and Shane looked at each other’s faces and nodded.
There were still survivors floating on the water.
As a warrior. No, as a person, I couldn’t just ignore them and go.
“I thought so. Then I’ll go support Bartiers.”
“Yes. Please.”
Arumanan began to fly across the island, and Chermia lowered her altitude to the sea off the harbor.
The port was truly chaotic.
Several boats that were swept up in the storm were overturned, and the bodies of drowned people were filling the gap.
The survivors were clinging to the float and calling for help, but it was not easy to rescue them from the wreckage of a large ship in the storm.
On the deck of the remaining ship for rescue, the crew is only rolling their feet.
The helicopters of the warriors approached the survivors.
“Please help me!”
“Let’s help quickly!”
The warriors began to rescue the survivors.
Chermia and Shane use everything they can to save people, including drones, ropes, and floating objects from nearby ships.
The navy of the Union, who saw it, gradually began to recognize them as true warriors.
The fire ignited with the newly received manastone burned all the darkness that had been regenerated endlessly with a power that could not be compared to Hellfire.
Black is hellfire, but what is the white fire that was intertwined like a spiral?
Anyway, the power was amazing.
It not only removed the darkness, but also turned the flat ships that were secretly moving under it to ashes.
Of course, the giant could not focus and fell backwards and was swallowed by the sea, and the deep and cold North Sea did not let him go.
If you come back to life, you can feed me one more room.
“Let’s go to the island.”
[[Yes, Captain.]]
“Consumable Manastones?”
[[Replenishment is needed.]]
“Is there still a lot in the warehouse?”
[[Yes. I will supplement it right away.]]
It consumes magic power as much as it is powerful.
My body was drained of magic power, and I lost my hunger.
“Let’s see, let’s eat… ….”
Tiring-
I was looking for something to eat, but a call came in.
“This is Eco 1.”
“Erif, can you communicate?”
“Yes. You just defeated the giant.”
“I’m glad. Then come to the island right away. Things are a little more serious here.”
“Did the giant make a riot?”
“Yes. Ships are overturned and there are quite a few fatalities. The village was also destroyed.”
“Oh… ….”
I didn’t think there would be any harm in dealing with such monsters, but if I had known the weakness a little sooner, it could have been reduced.
“We’re on a rescue operation, what will you do?”
“A giant?”
“There’s a flag behind the island. Now, Bartiers and the battleships, Arumanan-sama, are fighting.”
“I’m going to fight the giant. We must defeat them before they do any additional damage.”
“Okay.”
Sorry pours out from Chermia’s voice.
It may seem a bit cold, but the storm is slowly fading, so it won’t be difficult to save the survivors.
For now, it was more important to catch the remaining giants quickly to prevent additional damage.
When I arrived at the port, I noticed a more serious situation than I expected.
The harbor and island villages were almost destroyed, and the harbor was full of overturned ships and corpses of drowning people.
I can’t just go and see this scene.
Just like a strong wind storm, drones and mini-helicopters will also be able to work.
“Guys. Can you do a rescue operation?”
[[Yes! Just leave it to me.]]
“Okay. Troops of drones and mini-helicopters are rescuing survivors. I’ll catch a giant and come.”
[[Aye, sir!]]
Drone and mini-helicopter were ejected and then speeded up and flew to the back of the island.
「Huh? Were these drones sent by Erif?”
“Yes. Please take good care of me so I don’t fall.”
“Okay. Thank you, Erif.”
“What.”
I’ve just sent her men, and she’s embarrassed to say thank you.
I need to clean the drones later.
A giant raid was going on behind the island.
A gigantic giant roamed the sea near the island and attacked ships, and the fleet and Arumanan were desperately attacking the giant.
There was already a boat on the sea.
Arumanan’s main gun hit the giant’s head.
The giant staggered and lowered his posture as if stumbling.
This guy is also trying hard not to fall into the sea.
I should send it the same way as before.
However, Ignis had a rather large wavelength, so there was a risk of getting caught in the vicinity.
It was hard to guess what level he was at as he had only used it properly once.
So, let’s first introduce the Danger Close.
“Oh, Bartiers. Aruman. Get back with the other ships.”
「Chiik- Erif? Are you going to face it alone?”
“It’s already on the way to get rid of one.”
“… I get it. The entire fleet, retreat!”
The ships began to retreat at the command of Bartiers.
The giant looked around and saw me in front of him and raised his arm.
After easily dodging the attack of a poor little giant who had armor but no weapon, he gathered the magic of fire and wind again.
“[[Ignis!]]”
Black hellfire and mysterious white fire struck the giant’s feet.
Greetings-
The giant stumbled as the darkness exploded, the ship, and the sea.
However, I did not completely fall into the sea like before.
“Oops. It was the coast.”
The sea, not far from the island, was deep for humans, but for giants, it was waist-high.
The giant got up on the floor.
Then, it was engulfed in black and white flames that flew again and completely burned.
“Uh… ….”
I’m tired.
Shooting three special moves that consume a lot of magical power, and after that, I stayed up all night while rescued without a break, before dawn dawned.
I couldn’t sleep properly for nearly 30 hours and continued fighting and rescue, but my steel-like stamina reached its limit.
“Good job.”
I was hanging out in the cluttered resting room of the Bartiers, when my friends approached me.
Chermia and Shane, Bartiers and Arumanan.
Friend as a human and companion as a spirit.
It was a human-spirit relationship that clearly revealed my identity as a humanoid spirit.
“To what extent has it been resolved?”
“Thanks. They will disperse before more demons come.”
“Everyone must be very tired.”
“I can’t help it. It is difficult for the Alliance to send additional troops, and the Chromanium is angry and the road is running wild.”
They say that their territory was destroyed and many people died, so the Chromanium Empire, which had taken a step back a little, would now actively deal with the demons.
By the way, the cause may be the cause, so they may hate the alliance.
Well, the master will take care of it.
“Are we right back?”
“As soon as the apprenticeship is over.”
Because he was an admiral, Bartiers could not be taken out of his mind.
“I’d be right there with one vortex drive.”
“Would you like me?”
“Huh? Is it possible?”
“How are you? It would take less than an hour.”
I turned my gaze to Chermia and Shane.
Unexpectedly, they shook their heads.
“I think we’ll have to stay here for a while.”
“Erif goes first.”
“Ummm.”
Seeing my friends who slowly realized the role of a hero, I was proud of it, but it was difficult for me to get rid of it on my own.
I can’t help it.
“Then I will stay.”
“Really?”
“I thought so.”
In the end, she was caught by Chermia and Shane, and stayed on the island for a few days to investigate.
