135. Titanomachia (1)
“So, what do you plan to do with that?”
Clen asked Alfred with his arms crossed.
“Which one?”
“Alfred, I’m talking about the one you helped with.”
“I’m not sure?”
“…Are you kidding me now? “It says that and that.”
“Aha, I understand.”
Due to Alfred’s attitude, Clen ended up pointing her finger at the giant in front of her.
Another monster created by the queen.
A giant created by striking as many as seven holy swords that are said to contain the power of God.
It was similar in size to a mountain, and the power coming from that size and weight was no different from a living disaster just by existing.
“Should we do some quality testing somewhere? “It’s like I contributed to the production in some way.”
Alfred stretched out his hand and began to recite his magic.
Collects a lot of magical power, wraps it in a membrane, pierces a small hole and explodes it, releasing the destructive power in one place.
This was the attack method used by Morian before.
For a moment, his vision went dark and a flame of light engulfed the giant’s left arm, quickly reaching the point where the muscles were torn apart and the white bones were exposed.
“Oh my, isn’t this disappointing? In the end, the only thing that survived safely was the part I participated in the production of.”
Unlike the time of Morian, the attack worked effectively.
“I tried to think a little differently. “It seemed like having a strong shell had more weaknesses than I thought… so I changed it like this?”
And that is no longer the case.
From the exposed white bones, blood vessels sprout again, muscles connect, and regeneration is completed in an instant.
It was a blow that almost blew off the arm, but the giant fully recovered in less than ten seconds.
“What, that’s foul! Even if I blow my head off in a very cruel way, I will regenerate it. “Let’s be fair!”
“…It’s a bit weird to say something like that directly.”
“Why? “If anyone hears it, they will think that even if my head gets blown off or a hole is drilled in my chest, I can regenerate just fine.”
The queen looked at Alfred, who was protesting as the giant regenerated in an instant, as if he was dumbfounded, and Arcel and Clen, who were behind her, also looked at him with disapproval.
I don’t know about anyone else, but Alfred really seemed to have no conscience when he said something like that.
“Anyway, try hard. Please note that it would be best to stop them as quickly as possible. “Otherwise, I’m thinking of going to the sea and swimming with the giant.”
Boom!
With the queen’s words, the giant begins to move.
The direction the giant is heading is literally where the sea is, and the queen is heading towards the sea, which is called the mother of life and the benefactor of all things.
“That’s not very good news. If things continue that way, the remnants of the Demon King will spread across the world through the sea.”
“Then shouldn’t we stop it?!”
In other words, the moment the queen arrives at the sea, what happened in the land of the elves will happen all over the world.
Through the ocean currents, the remnants of the Demon King will spread throughout the world, starting with marine life and beginning to encroach into the inland.
If that happens, there will be no turning back.
“Of course we have to stop it, right? “Isn’t that right, Grandmother Clen?”
“…I’m going back.”
“Uh, why?”
However, Clen was not particularly interested.
“This is the end of helping out with your pranks. “Anyway, if you and the warrior are there, I won’t need you.”
“But if you do that, the remnants of the Demon King will engulf the entire world. Are you really okay with that? “Grandma Clen?”
“If it was something that attacked the land of the elves, it doesn’t really matter to us demons anyway. No, it might actually be a good thing. But is there any reason why I have to go to such lengths to stop them, even though I am bitter because of humans?”
Clen smiles with satisfaction.
This is because the remnants of the Demon King encroaching on the world were not a big problem for the Demons.
In addition, he also harbored all the feelings he suffered from Alfred in the past and the feelings he was forced to take away from Shion.
“Really?”
“That’s right. “Of course, Alfred, if you lick my shoes and get down on your knees and beg me earnestly, I won’t help you-“
“Well, then it doesn’t matter. “It’s okay to go back.”
“I understand. “If you really want it that much… What?”
However, Alfred was calm even if Clen was missing.
Clen was embarrassed and wondered if Alfred was really confident.
“It’s a pity that Grandma Clen isn’t there, but there’s nothing we can do about her. “I’ll take care of it.”
Alfred was even smiling sinisterly.
Alfred’s smile, which was creepy and even creepy, created anxiety in Clen.
When Alfred smiles like that, it means that he is thinking terrible, evil thoughts that would make even the real Satan cry.
“Wait a minute, stop… I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’ll help you, so can’t you put that evil smile away!”
“Unfortunately, it’s already too late. “If you’re going to be rude, you should have looked at the other person carefully.”
“Stop! Stop it! What are you thinking! “Stop right there!”
“Don’t worry, Grandma Clen, I like threatening someone with their weaknesses like you do, but it’s not a hobby. So you can rest assured.”
Alfred then flew far away and climbed up to the giant’s head where the queen was.
Kwasik!
As soon as it goes up, it blows off the queen’s head, but it quickly regenerates as if there was some problem.
Perhaps that one is also integrated with the giant.
“…It’s not polite to blow your head off all of a sudden.”
“I’m sorry about that, so as an apology, I’ll tell you a shortcut to the sea. “How are you?”
“A shortcut? Let’s see where it goes.”
The queen began to listen to Alfred.
Whisper, whisper, whisper…
“No, no…!”
The more Alfred spoke, the more Clen began to feel nervous and anxious in a corner of his mind.
“What are you telling me now! “I’m telling you to come down right now!”
Furthermore, Alfred even draws a map and points south with his finger, and you can see Clen’s pale face becoming even whiter.
Arcel wondered why Clen was acting like that all of a sudden, but she was able to understand what was in the south.
“If you go south like this, it’s about 5km faster than the direction you were originally going, so there may be an annoying city in the middle, but if it’s a giant like this, you can just trample it and go. “At this point, you can just grind it into powder.”
“I understand. “This is Satan’s advice, not someone else’s, so let’s follow it gratefully.”
The queen smiled and willingly followed Alfred’s words.
“Alfred…!!!”
Clen screams.
The south was none other than the direction where Clen’s territory was located.
Clen grabbed her head and called for Alfred, but all she got back was pulling her eyelids and sticking out her tongue.
Arsel looked at the scene and touched his forehead.
I wondered if all demons were like that, but the demon lord had managed to lead them into war, and once again, I felt respect for him as a senior.
If you think back on Alfred’s actions so far, the Demon King must have had quite a hard time.
“You don’t have to worry too much. Anyway, once that giant reaches the sea, this world will end. “I don’t think it would be a good idea to be reassured that we are the same demon race.”
“You damn bastard…!”
Clen grabs Alfred’s collar as he comes down again and shakes him.
However, there is no turning back for her, and the Queen is also watching as if it is amusing.
“So Grandma Clen knows what to do, right?”
“This… This…!”
Clen, who was speechless at her, could not respond any further and her face just turned red.
She was so upset that even tears came out of her eyes.
“What are you doing! Go quickly and don’t stop! “Grandma Clen is best suited to hit something like that head-on!”
“Alfred, I will definitely kill you with my own hands!!!”
Cow!
In the end, Clen transformed into a giant scorpion once again and blocked the giant’s path.
“…Is it really okay to do that?”
Arsel asked Alfred with a look on his face as if he was okay.
“Yes, it’s still cheap. “I think this is the time to show off my personality, but honestly, that’s weak.”
Alfred smiles refreshingly and replies that it’s okay.
“But what would you have done if you hadn’t helped me?”
“Well… Grandma Clen won’t let her territory be trampled, but she can stop it once she tries. Because there are several more giant bones. But as you’ve seen before, if you make a mistake, it could be taken away again. “I don’t want any of the devil’s remnants on my precious collection.”
Looking at it this way, the Demon King seems to be much more powerful.
I kept keeping Alfred around to use him in some way, and in the end, I ended up doing whatever I wanted to a certain extent.
Honestly, if the Demon King were alive and well, I would have wanted to hear some know-how.
†††
First of all, Clen succeeded in temporarily stopping the giant.
In front of your eyes, two truly gigantic monsters are fighting back and forth.
One side is trying to move forward, and the other side is desperately trying to block it.
No matter which side moves, the surrounding terrain changes and the ground shakes, making it difficult to even stand properly. Arcel and Alfred are assessing the situation from the air.
It is not inferior in terms of size, but is superior in defense, so it can block the advance of a giant.
But in the end, the giant regenerates endlessly and Clen cannot.
This time too, if it is a war of attrition, it is a disadvantageous situation.
Because of this, we had to find the giant’s weakness or find a way to effectively damage it.
“But this time things were better, because there was no other way to deal with that guy except overloading the magic stone. But at least the attack worked this time. “It’s because it plays right away.”
Alfred was looking at the situation optimistically.
“Then is there a way?”
“First of all, there are three ways.”
First, the overwhelming firepower destroys not only the giant’s flesh but also its bones.
“The remnants of the Demon King surround the bones, so my magic can blow away the flesh but cannot remove the bones. Perhaps it would be possible with your power, but…”
“…I don’t have the magic power to fly such a huge thing at once.”
In the first place, everything must be completely destroyed in one moment.
An attack that releases power like a holy sword will be able to withstand attacks while the giant regenerates.
“Then we’ll have to find another way.”
In that case, let’s move on to the second step.
“This is probably the best we can do. “The third method makes no sense even to me.”
The third method did not make sense even if Alfred thought about it.
So in the end, this is out of the question, and the only thing left is the second method.
“What is the second one?”
“I felt it while visiting the queen earlier, that giant has holy swords located on each part of its body, so it plays a key role. Perhaps those holy swords will amplify the giant’s power. Among them, there may be a holy sword that has the power to regenerate the body.”
“I see, that means…”
From Noble mtl dot com
Neutralizes the giant’s overwhelming regenerative power.
The remnants of the Demon King are nothing more than the bones of the giant eaten away and resurrected like the undead, and the giant itself is not made of the remains of the Demon King.
Therefore, the giant’s regenerative power probably came from one of the remaining six holy swords, and if he succeeded in separating the holy sword from the giant, he could deal with the giant.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not a sword with the power of regeneration. That giant is currently fully armed with the 6 fraudulent abilities of the fraudulent holy swords. So, to put it the other way around, even if you separate just one, 1/6 of the power disappears.”
“But when you threw away the giant’s arm, I didn’t see anything like a holy sword… How do I separate it?”
Then all that remains is to separate the holy sword.
“I can’t separate, but you can. No matter what anyone says, you are the only warrior alive. Since ancient times, the Holy Sword is the sword of the warrior. “Not from that crazy sociopath and sadist.”
But that wasn’t anything to worry about either.
As long as the Holy Sword Hero was with him, that wasn’t even a problem.
The opponent is a being that clearly intends to harm the world.
In fact, the queen is like a disaster that goes beyond causing harm and seeks to cause destruction.
And the warrior becomes stronger when dealing with such a being.
“…I understand. “I will trust you.”
“Yes, I trust you too. Then let’s go! “Grandma Clen is also older, so she can finish it quickly!”
Alfred headed to the giant’s right hand with Arcel.
A light green light surrounds the giant’s right hand.
In the center, Arcel vaguely saw the shape of a sword.
There is a holy sword there.
There was a belief that contained his soul, containing the power of a warrior who sacrificed himself to save the world in the past.
Now is the time to liberate it.
After a long time, Arcel promised that he would now help them find rest.
