King of Madness (3)
The sight of the huge fist falling down was reminiscent of a landslide.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of!
And the resulting shock wave instantly tore apart the surrounding space, causing a huge earthquake in the area.
A huge crater formed on the ground, dust flew in all directions, and a strong storm swept around.
It was a phenomenon that occurred in a single blow.
It was the result of an ordinary punch.
“Hahaha! “This is so thrilling!”
However, the person opposing him was not intimidated by its majesty and moved immediately.
Harley inflated as much as possible to a height of about 15 meters, reaching the height of a giant’s thigh.
Quad deuk!
Covering his entire body in dark red scales, he rushed forward like a beast and immediately clawed at his huge forearms with his sharp nails.
As a result, the strong muscles were torn to pieces and pure white blood dyed the surroundings in an instant.
Whoa—!
Quang!
The giant didn’t pay any attention to him and just swung his arm and hit him as he tried to fall back.
With an incredible reaction speed that is unbelievable for its size.
“You’re bothering me, you barbarian. “What do you think you can do to me if you fly and crawl?”
A giant growling in annoyance.
Before I knew it, the wound on his arm had healed in an instant.
Of course, Harley also immediately jumped up from her seat thanks to the madness stored in her body, but the total amount of power was significantly different, so she was at an overwhelming disadvantage in the exchange ratio.
‘Plus, his senses are so sensitive that it’s not easy to take advantage of his small size and speed. No matter how they move abnormally, we’re responding as if we’ve been waiting.’
When fighting as Hans, it was difficult to feel it because he was pressed with all-round pressure and overwhelming force, but when I fought him in a physical fight like this, I was able to clearly realize the fraudulent nature of his power.
Harley, who thought he had become quite strong, realized that even if he died and woke up, he would not be able to defeat that guy.
‘It was a good idea to get as far away from the city as possible. If it wasn’t for that…’
Only a minute or so had passed since Harley and the revolutionary faced off one-on-one, but the surrounding area was already devastated as if it had been bombed.
The ground, twisted in the aftermath of the terrible physical force, screamed, and the surrounding energy shook violently in the clash of energies mixed with aura and madness.
‘…Still, I think it needs to fall a little further. Tarak is Hubert’s base city, so we can’t let it be ruined even by mistake.’
It was still more than 5 kilometers away, but looking at the situation, I couldn’t help but feel anxious even at this distance.
It would have been better if Hubert had run farther.
When the giant caught Diana off guard and ran away, it was surprising that he caught up with her earlier than expected.
Thanks to the expensive suit going out of control, the instantaneous speed reached supersonic speeds, so even though I had to use a separate protective magic tool.
“Kahaha! It’s definitely not easy! “Do you think he’s just as big as the guys who came out before?”
“her! How dare you compare me with those guys…!”
At that time, the giant’s expression, which had been leisurely answering, suddenly hardened.
And then, like lightning, he turns around…
Hwiuung—!
He swung his huge forearms in the air.
The few remaining bushes in the area were blown around by the violent storm.
And right after that.
“Tsk, I never thought you would even notice this. “That’s annoying.”
A man quietly appeared from a little distance away with a cold voice.
Heinz II, a blood-blooded vampire who was planning to secretly launch a surprise attack using “Denial of Existence.”
He calmly adjusted his clothes and clicked his tongue.
The moment the giant frowned and opened his mouth to say something.
A second surprise occurred.
Paaaa—!
A brilliant light from a short distance lit up the air.
“You were here. An evil species that goes against the will of the main lord.”
A man who appeared with that flash of light spoke calmly.
The aura of divine light rising from his body spread widely and instantly calmed the turbulent energy nearby.
It was Heinrich, a saint from the Main Church who joined using “Blessing: Leap.”
Transcendents naturally surround the giant from three directions.
The giant, who was silent for a moment with narrowed eyes, twisted the corner of his mouth.
“Khaat! From a hybrid barbarian to a vampire lord and a saint from a major religious order? This is really… um?”
However, the giant’s sarcastic remarks did not last until the end.
The expression on the man’s face slightly distorted as he stopped talking, and he turned his head to stare intently at Harley.
The gaze turned again to Heinz II and then to Heinrich…
“…What are you guys doing?”
Soon, I let out a shaky voice without realizing it, filled with questions coming from my heart.
I wasn’t sure. That’s because he didn’t have the sense of smell, which is a power suitable for that.
However, I could clearly sense the sense of discomfort they felt.
of course-.
“Hahaha! “I am Harley, the King of the South!”
“He’s going to die anyway. “It’s annoying, so just disappear.”
“A heresy that went against the will of the Lord and disrupted the world. “I will punish you right here and now.”
There was not even the slightest intention to answer that question to ‘them’.
***
Kwaaaang——!
A roar that shook the heavens and earth echoed throughout the space.
With a huge explosion, clouds of dust rose up, and shock waves erupted from the epicenter and swept everywhere…
“The aftermath is coming! “Prepare to respond!”
“Strengthen the barrier!”
It had a profound effect even on the walls of Tarak, some 10 kilometers away.
Rumbling—!
Shock waves rush in, compressing the atmosphere as if distorting space, and the protective barrier surrounding the entire city becomes clearer.
The barrier, which had been shaking precariously for a while due to the powerful aftermath, soon regained stability thanks to the wizards’ desperate efforts, and the crisis, which I don’t know how many times, passed safely again.
“Whew—that’s refreshing.”
One of the knights guarding the walls in the northwest direction of Tarak sighed in relief.
That was the common thought of everyone on the walls, but the relief was short-lived and quickly disappeared.
It was impossible to predict how many more waves of this size would continue to surge in the future.
“Damn it, it would have been better than it is now if the wall hadn’t collapsed! What is the pay? Not yet? “What do wizards say?”
“First of all, they say they are holding on somehow by preparing a simple construction method, but it is impossible to completely restore the barrier in this situation! But thanks to not completely collapsing, we are able to do this…” “
…Should we consider it fortunate that they are fighting so far away? “If such a monster had run rampant in the city…”
It was no joke, the entire city might have completely evaporated.
The knight caught a glimpse of the busy wizards and turned his head in the direction of the cause of this situation.
Cooung—!
At that time, a shock wave erupted from the source once again.
Still, the scale this time was smaller than before, so it wasn’t something to make a fuss about.
While the wizards were groaning, he raised his auror to strengthen his eyesight and looked at the battlefield on the other side with a stern face.
“This is ridiculous. “What the heck is that…”
“Ha ha ha… crazy…”
And he wasn’t the only one staring there blankly.
Other knights who were stationed on the castle wall but had nothing to do, like the wizard, were also sweating coldly and looking at the spectacle in fascination.
On the other side, where the trees and hills block the view, everything has been cut down.
There was a very large giant whose size could be seen at a glance despite the considerable distance.
A monster that gives the illusion that it is hundreds of meters tall due to the ferocious force radiating from its body.
It was nothing short of violence in its very existence.
The simple movement shook the air, and each attack distorted space and spread destruction to the surrounding area.
Even just looking at it was putting a huge strain on the mind, making normal fighting impossible in the first place.
In fact, the knights were able to stand like this because they had their own level of support in addition to the distance and protective barriers. The regular soldiers had already long since left from the moment they saw that giant.
Grumble!
Now in front of those who have the minimum qualifications to watch.
A battle like a legend, something out of a story, was taking place.
“…What am I dreaming about? “This is so unrealistic.”
“Puh-huh—I’ve heard a lot of things saying it’s amazing, but this rumor has actually been shrunk. “I was living in a well…”
Instead of fighting on equal footing with a giant that was thought to be untouchable, it actually pushed him forward—.
Three beings who move organically as if they were one body.
A warrior who appeared like a savior and a saint of the main church, a vampire who appears to have come for support from the neighboring country of Thalia, and finally…
“…is it really the dragon Harley? “I heard it’s been quite a while since you left here.”
“Harley? Will you do it? “I heard that he did a great job during the defense of the Iron Fortress, but… is that really the red giant that Harley is?”
“Well, so little is known about dragon people…”
A large creature covered in dark red scales all over and armed with sharp claws and teeth.
Although his body was only about the size of the white giant’s thighs, he faced him toughly and held him head on.
To allow others to attack more clearly.
Harley lunged like a tiger towards one of the giant’s legs.
The giant reacted immediately and tried to kick him, but one of his arms was entangled in multiple blood-red chains that appeared at perfect timing and he temporarily lost his balance.
At that moment, Heinrich, who appeared in front of him, swung a holy sword wrapped in a pillar of light and cut off the corner of his eye. The guy had no choice but to throw his head back and dodge it…
Kwaang—!
Harley’s fierce body tackle that immediately followed landed on one of the giant’s legs as originally intended.
And while the giant, whose center was shaken and stumbling, struggled not to fall, the vampire and saint’s attacks cut into his body again.
“Aaaah—! These bastards—!”
A giant’s roar resounds loudly.
The connection that followed was the same.
The three of them worked together so well that it was surprising to see how they cornered the giant, step by step, and started hunting the giant monster as if they were slowly losing their breath.
“It’s beautiful… It can be said to be the ultimate in passing technique.”
“Huh—at least those vampires have never gotten together before, so how can they work so well together? Do people who have reached that level even have feelings for each other?”
“Hehehe, just looking at it makes me feel nauseous. “If it weren’t for the barrier, ordinary people would have died in droves.”
While the knights were in awe of the precise joint movement, as if each breath had been divided into tens of thousands of parts.
Unlike them, who had nothing to do, the wizards were fighting a fierce battle that was literally like a war.
“Magic stone! not there yet? Bring it quickly! “As soon as possible!”
“Don’t stand still, move quickly! “If this place collapses, the citizens will be massacred!”
“rotation! The Rocapelli Magic Tower is out and the Tenure Magic Tower is in the center! Hurry!”
In order to protect the city from the ceaseless waves of destruction, not only those belonging to the territory but also the wizards of the Magic Tower were summoned and clung to the walls.
As the blood gradually drained from the faces of those who were separated in real time.
[“It looks quite dangerous. “Let me help you a little.”]
In the midst of their confusion, the voice of an unfamiliar woman clearly lingered in their minds.
The use of refined magical power was so exquisite that it was an art that made you gasp in awe.
“uh?”
“Wait a minute, who is this…!”
The moment the puzzled wizards all raised their heads.
Damn it!
The surface of the castle wall froze in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, it expanded its area and covered the area where the collapsed castle wall was, and soon began to emit strange waves and replace the broken protective barrier.
“What the hell is this… the barrier circuit was forcibly overlaid using ice magic?!”
“So you’ve figured out the entire circuitry of this huge castle wall!”
“More than that, what is this amount of magical power? If you’re at this level, you’re not just a simple archmage, right? no way…!”
In a different way, the sky above the heads of confused wizards.
Archmage Isea, who had remotely helped defend the city, made eye contact with the companions floating next to her and nodded slowly.
“But I don’t know if we can help in a fight like that. “I wonder if I’m disturbing them for no reason.”
“For now, let’s make assisting the saint our top priority. “If we use the sky like we do now, wouldn’t we be able to minimize the risk?”
Lydia, a high elf who was the strongest in the Elven Kingdom before the appearance of Harris, and Riesta, a saint with the greatest sacred power in the church.
The entire party of warriors who had stayed in the Great Hall during the Pope’s funeral had arrived in a hurry, following Heinrich.
But they were not the only additional reinforcements.
There was another place on earth where other powerful people gathered.
“As expected, High Road! “You don’t bow down even to the saint of the church!”
“Ah—I will dedicate my life to the glory of this hybrid!”
“Well, I guess we can’t use giant’s blood. “This is difficult.”
Many of the hybrid true-level vampires, including Freesia Brokoslag…
“Hehehe, you guys, don’t overdo it and just assist. “You seem like an interesting opponent for the first time in a while.”
“Yes!Bricky!”
Another Holy Blood level vampire, Bricky, had also arrived in Tarak.
In order to strike down one revolutionary.
