90. Life is also cancer cells
When we came out of the building, what we saw was a silvery metallic body towering taller than the castle walls.
Magnetun is a city built near the Sunset Mountains. As such, the castle walls are also high and strong. However, the giant who appeared now was one head taller than the wall.
It is difficult to believe that it is a single life form. In addition, subtle miasma also flows through the body.
That’s probably Yang, the superior that humans have been talking about. The mercury giant raised its silver arms and held on to the wall, emitting a roaring psychic wave.
[How are you?]
However, from that imposing appearance, I could easily discern the bravado he was hiding.
Common sense, there’s no way we wouldn’t notice that a guy of that size came all the way here. Also, the vibration caused by its footsteps is too weak compared to its size.
Above all, the fact that a nobleman, a high-ranking demon contractor, was threatening like that instead of immediately rushing to destroy the city made my suspicions clear. He can’t project power properly.

Because it is tied to the ambiguous boundary between reality and the underworld, it can maintain such an absurd size, but its actual physical force and mass will be far less than that.
[Wait, Cream!]
Of course, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy opponent either. It means that he lacks strength compared to his size, and of course he possesses ridiculous strength that cannot be matched by general standards.
In addition, if the demonization has progressed to that extent, there is nothing to be gained by catching it. My honest feeling is that I just want to avoid a fight. However, Cream was already walking toward the giant.
[Do you really want to fight that thing? Hey!]
But it was too late. As Cream unleashed her powers as she walked, she began to follow behind her, leading long tails of fire, frost, and thunderbolts. Naturally, it also entered the giant’s eyes.
[Dragon □? Why is □sa in female □······.]
The giant muttered in dismay. I couldn’t read his expression because his head was not a human head, but a perfect spherical shape, but his feelings were conveyed to me through the atmosphere.
There was more than an ant and an elephant between the cream and the mercury giant, but the mercury giant couldn’t handle my size properly. On the other hand, Cream has a sharp sword that can work even against a giant.
The reason I said to avoid it in the first place is that fighting only gives me strength and nothing to gain, not because I was afraid that the cream would lose.
[Yes, yes. What touched my wealth!]
The mercury giant’s body was as large as it was slow. By the time it recognized us and emitted a mental wave of rage, Cream was already flying over the castle wall.
She has no wings. Instead, she lifted her body into the air as the air froze with every step Cream took her step.
On the other hand, Choco, unable to run after stepping on the lightning, jumped off the wall. Above and below, two girls with terrifyingly powerful power rush in from both sides.
[This □ Danger…!]
Contrary to his dull behavior, the giant quickly grasped the situation. Because he’s halfway between reality, he’s just a punching bag that’s easy to hit.
The huge body might be good when stepping on the weak, but it was weak against transcendent people like them. However, he seemed to have come up with a plan of his own.
“What?”
The moment Choco slammed her fist into the giant’s feet with all her might, the giant’s entire body, which had looked as hard as iron, oscillated like liquid. And, the surface snapped on Choco’s arm as it was.
As the mass and physical force exerted by the giant on the world are reduced, the physical impact Choco inflicts on the giant is also reduced. As Choco grunted, unable to pull her arm out, an awl protruded from her bastard’s body.
Considering the giant’s size, each one of them is no different from cotton wool, but to Choco, who was attacked, it was the size of a forearm. It even has a subtle miasma, so if it gets pierced, even chocolate won’t look good.
“Suck!”
Choco tumbled backwards and sprayed his thunderbolt. It caught my eye that the rocking surface of the one hit by the current hardened. And, the cream that shares my thoughts too.
“Ha!”
I felt it. At the same time that Cream let out a sharp sigh, dozens of electrical currents surged from her back. Those twisting and shining streaks of lightning looked like wings.
However, they did not have the ability to make cream fly. At the same time that Cream, who was firmly gripping the Holy Sword, fell, dozens of lightning bolts slammed into his head one step ahead.
Of course, since it was a mercury giant that had long gone beyond the scope of normal life, you couldn’t expect a concussion from attacking its head, but instead, the area that was struck by lightning hardened.
Then, the cream crashed, scattering a dazzling light over it.
Chaaagh!
A strange cutting sound resounded that seemed to be cutting meat or cutting thin metal plates. The cream cut through the hardened head at once and dug into it for about a third.
However, its head was too large to slash with one blow. The moment Cream was buried in it, the cut silver sections wriggled and tried to fill the empty space.
[How crazy!]
If I keep going like this, I will be buried. I yanked the specter out of the blade. With no creatures nearby to attack, the wraiths clung to the nearest one.
Cream, which is protected by the gods, is of course an exception. The cross section of the silver head they clung to was dyed black and stopped changing. Seeing that, Cream stretched out her hand.
“Don’t worry.”
[What?]
Cream wriggled her hand against the narrowing silver surface, and the next moment, a huge ice pick began to grow from her fingertips with a terrifying sound like something being gnawed.
However, the ice awl started digging into the silver body without breaking or protruding. I could see the ice picks erupting like countless roots.
Is it possible to do such a thing with divine power? In fact, even if most priests deal with divine power, most of them cannot go beyond simply projecting power in a straight line.
Whether it’s throwing fireballs or shooting flaming arrows. Fundamentally, it cannot exceed the one-dimensional level. Of course, the high-ranking priests showed more advanced uses, such as creating weapons with holy power.
Certainly, there was no one who gave such a specific image to the divine power like Cream.
“Strength, Botae.”
[Yes? Ah yes!]
The moment the holy sword reflexively agreed to Cream’s request, the divine power of the source emanating from the white sword was overlaid on the ice roots that Cream had created and were still extending.
The nature of an inviolable (EX) that never breaks. Although it is much weaker than the original holy sword, the same law as her characteristic flows through the ice root.
[□□□□□-!]
An ice pick grows from Cream’s fingertips, and the tips of the ice picks differentiate innumerably and encroach on them like roots. I felt the mercury giant shudder at the terrible sensation.
Even at this moment, the ice picks were lengthening and erupting at the same time. Even though she was controlling each of the twigs as she wished, she did not feel any strain on Cream’s face.
This is the best way, and I can do it at the same time, so I feel like I take it for granted. Rather than being a mere mortal, in a form closer to a miracle directly given by God, the holy sword made her moan without being able to speak.
[Nonsense…]
[Is this such a surprise?]
Although I knew it, I pretended not to know and asked the Holy Sword a question. As expected, when I was excited, my reasoning was disturbed, and when I stabbed him once, he immediately spilled information.
[The scale of power is no different from other warriors, but this control is ridiculous! The hero’s talent and the blessings of the gods only grant mighty divine power, but they don’t necessarily grant that control!]
It would be simple to simply project divine power like ordinary priests, but this level of sophisticated control is out of the norm even for a hero. There was even a hint of fear in the holy sword’s voice.
[If you think about it, the skill that the hero used to unite the three holy powers…]
However, before the holy sword could speak further, our bodies suddenly felt like they were floating. Cream, of course, was still inside the giant’s head, but the titan who was suffering had made a breakthrough move.
That was to throw off the part of his head that had the cream in it. You’re not crazy, is this? But it was also surprisingly effective.
Only in appearance is a giant, this guy is a demon contractor whose body is mostly assimilated with the devil. Of course, the concept of ‘death’ in reality does not exist for the devil, who is a being in the other world.
There is only one way to defeat them. The only thing is to forcibly break the laws that make up that body so that they can no longer influence this world.
[Hey! Get out quickly!]
With that in mind, I could understand why he tore off my head and threw it. If only the giving up of the body and some of the laws that make it up could keep a troublesome adversary tied down.
We were flying through the air while trapped inside our spherical heads and soon fell to the ground. Ridge. A dull vibration was transmitted, but the impact was not too great for a fall from that height.
But going out is still a problem. Since the pure volume itself is overwhelming, there is a problem in cutting through even the cream with a single knife. Still holding the ice pick, Cream gave strength.
Pud Deuk!
As if it rained one day on the roots of a tree that had been dry for a long time, the ice picks that were rooted all over his body began to thicken. As they expand.
The silvery metal, which was fluidly swaying, gradually loses its place and is pushed away. The part touched by the cold air freezes, and the ice awl expands and cracks on top of it.
In addition, this part is also separated from the main body. The limit came soon.
“Whoa, ha.”
Between the fragments of the silver sphere torn apart by the ice roots, Cream took a deep breath. Following her inhalation and exhalation, the long stretched ice picks were retrieved one by one and restored to power.
In the meantime, I looked around and was delighted. The part where he threw his head must have been over the wall, and a building was smashed to the point where his head crashed.
Of course, the people who were in it too. Since I didn’t kill them directly, I couldn’t exert a strong control, but there were still a few souls that were sucked in.
[Yes, this is the taste!]
[You, for real. Even in this situation…]
The Sacred Sword now had an aversion to it because it was scolding, but it moved again as soon as the cream came out, so I couldn’t say anything more.
However, Cream ran over the wall again and saw a headless giant staggering like a drunk. What is it, did it taste because there was no head?
In the first place, what I call a head doesn’t have a brain or anything like that, it’s just a round piece of metal. If it was to the extent that I lost my ability to think, I wouldn’t have thrown it away so easily.
[Come to think of it, where did Choco go?]
At the words of the Holy Sword, I realized what I had missed. I can’t see the chocolate sticking from the bottom of my feet. Even so, it is glowing as if it is fighting something invisible.
“Over there.”
We looked in the direction Cream pointed. It’s hard to recognize because its body is so blunt and round, but it’s probably somewhere between the stomach and chest.
As if some kind of bizarre tumor had grown, its fluid body swelled and swelled. Soon, the tumor that seemed to have tightened beyond its limit exploded the next moment.
“Kheheheung-!”
The howling of the beast was heard through the gaping hole. I didn’t even have to worry about who it belonged to.
[Wow, crazy.]
What Choco did was not that different from Cream. It burrows into the creature’s body, forcibly increases its physical volume, and pushes away the soft, silvery body of the opponent.
If Cream used ice roots, the only difference is that Choco replaced the role with her own body. Choco as a human is a small girl with a height of about 1.5 Meters.
However, after transforming into a beast, Choco was a gigantic beast reaching 3 meters in height. No matter how small the tumor is, if it swells several times in an instant, it cannot be damaged.
[Geu ah ah!]
Especially if it’s not just a beast, but a giant monster wielding a 6-meter-long sword of light in its mouth. After finishing the roar, Choco had a muffin in her mouth before she knew it.
The muffin, which was the size of a dagger even when human, now looked more like debris stuck between Choco’s teeth than a weapon. However, a terrifying electric current was entangled on top of that tiny blade, creating a blade.
“Rurr-rrr-!”
With the weapon in his mouth, he couldn’t let out a roar as much as he wanted. Instead, the jet-black beast swung his radiant sword while shaking his throat and making a violent growl.
