34 The Giant Destroyer
At noon on the day the monster king Horable was officially executed at the Steel Fortress.
Sion and Liusina had arrived again at the Achelis Basin, where they had recently fought a fierce battle.
Is it because the time hasn’t passed yet?
The scene inside the basin showed the devastation after the war.
The corpses of monsters and humans all over the basin.
Whoa! Whoa!
Flying animals, including crows, and corpse-scavenger-type monsters were wandering around and overturning or digging up the corpses.
It was disgusting enough to make a normal person vomit the moment he saw it, but the expression of Xion and Liusina passing between the corpses was the same as usual.
bum bum, bum bum.
Sion had already experienced countless battles when he was the original emperor of the world, so he had seen a lot of more devastation than this, so he was used to it.
And in the past, Liusina enjoyed making these scenes herself.
“ Master, why did you come here again? No one is alive anymore.”
A thousand-year-old witch who asks with a sad face next to Zion.
She, who feels the greatest joy when killing a living being, has no interest in this place where there is only death.
A completely different look from yesterday’s burst of madness in the middle of the battlefield.
“ I have something to gain.”
To that, Zion answered without even turning his head.
If the Monster King Horrible was a secondary reason, going to get it now was the biggest reason for choosing the Monster Corps.
“ What is it?”
“ Do you know why this place is called Achelis Basin?”
“ No, I don’t know.”
A witch who confidently answers Shion’s questions.
In fact, it was natural not to know.
Few people would know her, not just her, but the whole world.
Because it was an esoteric event that occurred on the outskirts of the continent.
“ Achelis is a human name. Exactly the name of the hero.”
“ A hero?”
“ Yes, the name of the hero who killed the giant king who became a demon.”
Even in the distant past, even before the formation of the Agnes Empire, there were numerous giants in the north.
And among them, there was also a giant who was exceptional enough to be called the giant king.
A being who united and led the early giants before the creation of a large group of giants.
However, at some point, the giant king went crazy for some reason, and he repeatedly slaughtered and became a great devil.
And it was the hero named Achels who killed the giant king.
“ A hero born between a human and a giant, Archelis, took the life of the mad giant king after three days and three nights of bloody battle in this basin. And he sealed the weapon he used to kill the Giant King here.”
“ You mean that weapon is what the owner is trying to get?”
“ Right.”
At Riusina’s question, Shion nodded.
Giant Destroyer Giga Perses.
It was the weapon that Shion was trying to obtain, and it was also the most important key to killing Utekan.
“ Then, where is that weapon?”
Saying that, Liusina reached out and pointed to the huge temple in the middle of the basin.
A temple as if carved out of a huge rock.
It was also the place where the monster king stayed until not long ago.
“ Yes.”
In the chronicle, the hero Flosimar, who obtained the Giant Destroyer, kills Utekan just before the war with the Demonic Spirit begins.
But Zion.
He had no intention of waiting until then or entrusting the hero to kill Utekan.
Shion preferred to hunt directly the opponent who revealed it to him.
“ The more you see the real owner, the more amazing it is. Didn’t you say that you were only in the Imperial Castle until just half a year ago? But how do you know all this?”
A witch looking at Zion with questionable eyes and asking questions.
Riusina was not an idiot.
No, he was a genius enough to reach the pinnacle of blood magic.
That is why I was well aware of how absurd everything Zion is doing now.
‘ It didn’t make sense from the first time you subdued me in the Great Destruction Battle.’
How on earth did his master know the location and use of the Great Spirit of Extinction?
Among them, the most absurd thing was the strength of Zion that I saw in the battle of extinction.
A mythical power that makes your whole body shiver just by thinking about it again.
It was the first and last time in hundreds of years that I felt despair that even my fingers could not reach it no matter how hard I tried.
‘ But the current owner is not like that.’
Of course, the current Zion was also very strong and growing at an astonishing speed, but no matter how much I thought about it, the transcendental thing I saw in the Extinction Circle did not exist.
How can the power of the soul and the body of a person be so different?
I couldn’t understand it, so I looked at Zion full of doubts,
“ You have to read a lot of books.”
These were the only words that came out of Shion’s grinning mouth.
In the meantime, Sion, who had reached just in front of the temple, entered without hesitation.
Risina shook her head at him and followed Zion.
Was it because the rock he had carved out had a black color?
The inside of the temple was dark even though it was noon.
‘ Was this this way?’
In the chronicle, the scene where the hero obtains the giant destroyer is not written in great detail.
So Zion also had only a few clues.
“ Isn’t the master over there? Isn’t that wall a little weird over there?”
“ Lord, here! look here! The color of the floor here is a little different from other places, isn’t it?”
How many times must I have walked through the temple, shedding the words of Riusina, who kept pushing her legs from the side, through one ear.
Shion’s eyes gleamed as she discovered something.
‘I found it.’
A pillar that exists in the deepest part of the temple.
A small inscription was engraved on the pillar.
An ancient language that is not the current imperial language.
But Zion could read the language.
‘ Only those who inherit the blood of giants will gain the power to destroy giants.’
It was a direct statement.
It literally means that you cannot go to the place where Gigaperses is unless you are a giant or a hybrid of giants.
‘ That’s why Horable stayed here for a long time and didn’t get anything.’
In the chronicle, the hero had a fellow giant, so he used him to get a giant destroyer.
In contrast, there was no element related to giants in present-day Zion.
But there was no agitation in Zion’s eyes.
‘ If I hadn’t been able to get it in the first place, I wouldn’t have come.’
Shrek-
With that thought, Zion’s hand reached out and touched the words.
“ What are you doing, master? Aren’t the words supposed to drip blood? I think it also has to drop the blood of other races… … .”
As if it were the pinnacle of blood magic, Riusina, who understood the principle by just looking at it, said with a puzzled expression from the side.
As the saying goes, it was right to drop the blood of a giant in the words, but Sion did not let go of his hand and raised Heukseongha.
gurg gurg!
Was he even surprised by the heterogeneity of Heuk Seong-ha that permeates through the words?
At that moment, the entire wall, including the pillars, began to shake.
As if trying to spit out the soaked black star.
However, Zion pushed the Heukseongha into the pillar even more strongly.
Black Seongha.
The most foreign power in the world and the power that denies everything.
Such a Heukseongha seeps into the depths of the pillar, devours the complex magics that exist in it one by one, and then begins to erase them.
This is also a method made possible by reaching 4 stars this time.
Ded Ded Dude!
As if rebelling against him, the shaking spread and eventually the whole temple began to tremble, but it was already too late.
It was after the black star, the supernatural powers and superstitions that exist in the magical world, had erased all the ancient rites that went beyond the pillars to the bottom.
Aww!
The front of the pillar engraved on it cracked, and it collapsed, revealing the passageway leading down.
It felt like it had to be opened because the inside had been completely smashed, rather than the engine mechanism was working and it was opened.
“… … It pierces pretty hard.”
Liusina, who was watching it from the side, stuck out her tongue.
Although she had been watching for several months, she still could not figure out the identity of the power Sion was using.
“ Because this is the most convenient.”
Responding briefly to that, Zion walked into the passage.
Inside the passage was darker than the temple.
bum bum, bum bum.
Was it because he blew away most of the organ procedures?
It was like an illegal intrusion, but there was little to hinder or block Zion and Liusina during their descent.
Occasionally, unbroken spells were activated and they aimed at the two of them, but quaang!
immediately blocked or smashed.
In the first place, it seems that even the creators did not think that it would break through in this way.
How far down did it go?
Wrath!
With the sudden burst of light, the passage widened and a huge cavity opened up in front of them.
And the podium that exists in the center of the common room and one object placed on it.
“ Is that right? What the owner is looking for.”
Even without Riusina’s words, I could tell right away.
Because the appearance of the object was exactly the same as the description in the chronicle.
dark blue light.
A gigantic chain with a length and thickness that would cover the cavities when unwrapped.
And a feeling of intimidation that spreads around and crushes the atmosphere.
‘ Gigaperses the giant destroyer.’
Although it was a legendary weapon like Agdevar, it was a giant giant decisive weapon that surpassed even myth-level performance when it came to dealing with giants.
Tsar!
Unlike the temple that refused to be a giant, the Giant Destroyer shrank and wrapped around his wrist as soon as Sion touched it.
In the first place, the Giant Destroyer itself could be used regardless of race.
It was simply sealed here by the hero Akelis, fearing that his power might be misused by other races.
He was also half a giant, so he knew just how deadly this thing was to the giants.
Whoa!
Have I been here for too long?
The tiny vibrating giant breaker wrapped around his wrist looked like a puppy rejoicing that he could go outside.
“ Go back to the Imperial Palace.”
Shion, who looked at Giga Perses for a moment, smiled and turned around.
It was getting closer and closer to the time to cut off Utekan’s head.
* * *
“ Huh… … .”
Winix, the knight who guards the main gate of the Imperial Castle, has been watching a rare sight since morning.
The royal family of Agnes.
They rule this empire and have the most precious blood than anyone else in the world, and they do not lose their dignity no matter what.
Even a simple gesture is noble, and every step is graceful.
By the way… … .
“ Open the gates!”
It was difficult to find such dignity in the 4th Prince Utekan and the 5th Princess Diena, who are approaching this direction at a tremendous speed.
As if passing through the main gate of the imperial castle is the only goal of their lives, the two royal families are speeding up like crazy, spreading the natural sea and spirits.
“ Oh, come on, open the gate… … !”
The guards open the gates quickly even though they are bewildered.
Paang!
Diena, Utekan, and their bodyguards, who passed through the open gates, instantly turned into dots and disappeared from Winix’s sight.
“ You came earlier than expected. Utekan brother?”
Diena opened her mouth as she looked at Utecan, who was running right next to her, riding the famous horse Hogeros.
Even at near top speed, her face was smiling as usual.
“ Haha, Diena, I didn’t expect you to come to subdue disaster so quickly.”
Utekan raises the speed of his speech even while bursting with a roaring laughter.
The reason they are in such a hurry now is simple.
Subjugation of disaster caused by competition for the throne.
It was to satisfy the condition of ‘first of all’.
‘ We are the first.’
Diana was so sure.
As soon as the disaster was subjugated, he returned in a hurry with only the SS, so he did not hear the reports of other imperial families.
But when he entered the capital, he clearly remembered the reactions of the people he had seen.
– Let’s tell Princess Diena!
– Her Majesty Diena arrived first!
It was a reaction that could never have come if the other royal family had arrived first.
If you’ve seen someone else before, there must have been a mention of him.
The dominance in the competition for the throne was getting closer and closer.
‘ If only you beat this person next to you.’
Diana looks at Utekan and thinks so.
Normally, the competition would have ended as soon as they entered the castle, but it was null and void because they both entered at the same time.
So, as her second destination, she was thinking of the small meeting room at the Baekseong Palace where the subjugation of this disaster had begun.
He didn’t say much, but Utekan also thought the same, and the path was the same.
“ Are you giving up?”
“ Can you do that?”
Utekan smiled in response to Diena’s words.
He also had a reason to win this competition.
In the meantime, Baekseonggung was getting closer.
at that time,
Aww!
Utekan’s huge body on the horse soared into the air with a roar.
Then I wanted to turn in the air,
Paang!
As it was, I smashed the window on the floor where the small meeting room was and went inside.
“ I… … !”
Diena enters the people’s palace through a broken window after following Utekan.
Soon after, she saw the figure of Utekan standing in front of the small meeting room.
For some reason, he did not enter, and was looking inward with wide eyes.
“ Why don’t you go in… … !”
Diena, feeling strange about it, approaches Utekan.
Diena’s eyes followed him to the inside of the conference room, and the same began to swell.
There were already sailors there.
A man who sits alone in a chair and puts his coffee cup down on the round table with a drowsy face.
“ It’s a little late.”
It was Zion.
