I never thought we would meet again like this.
It was my first time seeing him in four years.
Unexpectedly, there was not much difference in appearance compared to when we first met in the world.
“It’s so big.”
I just thought it was big.
No matter how much I tilted my head, I couldn’t see my whole body at a glance.
The other giant couldn’t even reach his index finger.
It felt like I could destroy the altar where I was standing right now, honoring the source, with a single punch.
The eight wings were creating a fierce storm and tearing the nearby clouds apart.
“Don’t be scared. “You’ve already caught it once.”
He muttered while tapping the hilt of his sword.
The slightly vibrating blade meant that Rin was nervous.
It was the first time since I felt an unknown gaze from the Horn of Winter.
“huh. I know.”
Lin answered.
It was definitely a formidable opponent.
It’s different from the bald guys I’ve faced so far.
If this one guy fought against the entire race of giants, I would bet all my money on the king winning.
The giants who narrowly escaped extinction began to chatter loudly.
『King.』
『He has come in person…!』
The great sword in front of me was proving its extraordinary status.
From this distance, the chest looked like nothing more than a wall, and even though it blocked my sword energy, it only caused scratches.
Of course, there was a world of difference between cutting directly with a sword and throwing sword energy, but it was the first time that the giant’s weapon was not destroyed.
“Now that I think about it, I didn’t even hear his name back then. “What is your name?”
I asked slyly, but there was no answer.
The king stretched out his arms.
Quaaaaa!
A white ray of light burst out from inside the palm of a house-sized palm.
“You shameless bastard.”
It was so large that it completely blocked my view.
Instead of dodging, I responded by raising the blade vertically.
A beam of light was torn in half, splitting the sky into thirds.
The beam of light, which was more than ten meters in diameter when divided, disintegrated all beings it touched.
『······!』
“ah···”
It seemed like a hundred bald people were dead.
There was nothing left where the rays swept through.
Seeing that he didn’t care about the lives of his subordinates, it seemed like he wasn’t a very good king.
As soon as the beam of light was cut off, the great sword flew out.
“Eek.”
It was a wide, horizontal cut.
I leaned back with my legs fixed on the floor.
The blade grazed the bridge of my nose.
It was the moment when a sword wind blew one beat late.
Quaaaaa!!
A crescent moon with a radius of several kilometers rose in the sky.
This time too, countless giants lost their lives.
Blood bursting and dismembered corpses fell.
The crescent moon glided to the horizon, dragging its blue tail.
“Do it in moderation, you bastard!”
I bent and opened my body like a spring and leaped towards the king.
The thrusts of the great sword came flooding in again.
When he succeeded in dodging by just one piece of paper, his posture was momentarily disturbed.
The distance narrowed.
It was the moment when the guy, sensing danger, retreated.
Sgak!
My sword swung one beat quickly and cut into the guy’s right eyeball.
“Cheer up!”
『Ugh.』
I shouted with joy.
The bastard moaned for the first time.
Blue blood was pouring out of the gaping eyes.
The blade that drank the blood of the Bald King was blazing.
“How do you feel, One-eyed? Are you willing to be a little more serious now?”
『On the topic of small things.』

The king grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands.
All the surrounding giants began to gather towards me…a full-scale battle began.
****
“Haa…haa…no, they’re going away!”
“Damn it…are we alive?”
Letancier took a breath that had filled up to his chin.
Abel fell, supporting himself with his sword.
His body, which had blocked the giants’ bombardment until the very end, was so overheated that it seemed as if it would explode at any moment.
Pure white steam was rising over the tanned nape of my neck.
“···It seem to be like that.”
Pantasion nodded.
He too was in complete disrepair.
The majestic antlers were now broken to the point where it looked no different from an ordinary stag.
The double-edged ax I picked up in Gran Cappadocia was shattered, with only the handle remaining.
“He’s not interested in us anymore.”
The giants were all flying to the place where Ronan had disappeared.
There were so many of them gathered around the source that they appeared as one huge white sphere rather than individual individuals.
Orsay, who was raising his head like a crane, frowned.
【······It seems like Ronan was half successful. The king has come down.】
“I’m really the king…?! Shouldn’t we hurry up and join in?”
【Let’s go?】
Orsay snorted.
The reason Letancier could say such a thing was because he was not seeing the same thing as himself.
A sphere made of giants.
Eight huge wings flapping at the center, and a black shadow fighting alone.
Orsay continued speaking with a voice that was an equal mixture of fear, awe, and trust.
【Our work is finished. Let’s trust him.】
****
『How far do you think you can be lax?』
The king was extremely agile despite his size.
The guy blocked the source with his body and poured out heavy sword strikes.
Every time a stroke was drawn, a storm arose.
Most of the giants that approached to join were blown away by the wind.
“Damn, don’t break the scaffolding.”
Other than that, the problem was that there was no place to step.
I was fighting while climbing on the building of the temple dedicated to the source, which was split in half.
The other side of the temple where the source was located was guarded by the bald king and his subordinates.
After correcting my posture, I jumped again.
“Throw it away!”
Sword and sword met.
Every time the sum was divided, lightning struck.
Sugagak!
Suddenly, a white line was drawn over the spot where the great sword had passed.
The curve hovering in the air was glowing with a light I had never seen before.
“ok?”
I was in the middle of glancing around because I wanted to know something.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The narrow line exploded in an instant.
The giants who were swept away met a gruesome end.
I’ve never seen anything like this, but it seemed like a newly acquired skill while absorbing more souls than in the original world.
I was just escaping from the explosion.
A slash came from the right firing line that was too late to avoid.
Ah, this can’t be helped.
It was the moment when I turned my body as wide as possible and countered the sword strike.
“Kaa!”
My body was blown away as if hit by a battering ram.
Perhaps because of the weight class, it was difficult to counter big attacks.
A bald head that was shaking took me in with its body.
『You…!』
“Thanks to you, I survived.”
I muttered that and jumped, kicking the guy in the chest.
A giant with a dented ribcage fell, vomiting blood.
The distance narrowed.
The lunging slash slashed through the king’s side.
Sigh!
Blue, sticky blood gushed out like a fountain.
『Ugh, you…』
The king frowned.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t even cut the internal organs.
I immediately entered the battle and competed again.
Thunder roared and blood splattered.
Every time a successful hit was made, wounds were carved on each other’s bodies.
‘You’ve definitely gotten stronger. Damn you.’
I wiped the nosebleed that had run down to my chin with my sleeve.
I was flying around here too, but the bald king of this world, whose growth had not been stunted, was much stronger than the one I had killed.
The bald subordinates were now in formation without even thinking about intervening.
Kaaaaang-!
We, who shared swords, fought against each other and bounced back.
I was about to run away, but I stopped in place.
The king, who had been as wild as wildfire, stood still.
“Whoa…what are you doing?”
『……What do you know about the previous king?』
“What… in this current situation… wow, are you curious about that?”
『Say it.』
In any case, they were a race that could not understand thought.
Do you think you will win anyway?
I was scratching my chin and raised my middle finger.
“I don’t like it. You bastard.”
『What?』
“It’s annoying. And I already told you in the original world. There’s no need to explain the same thing twice, right?”
In the first place, it was just something I said to get the attention of the bald bastards.
There was no reason for me to explain about the King and Seniel who were so kindly frozen.
The king’s eyes distorted.
『You will pay the price for daring to deceive me.』
“Try it.”
I spat at the guy.
Eight wings unfolded at once.
A storm broke out that swept everything.
I supported myself by stabbing my sword into the floor.
Except for the temple dedicated to the source, everything within a radius of several kilometers was blown away by the wind.
“Keuuu…!”
The blood-soaked coat flapped like crazy.
Soon white particles gathered above the king’s head.
In an instant, hundreds of spheres of light began to form.
Each one was slightly smaller or similar in size to the great sword.
The moment the king extended his index finger towards me, all the weapons poured down like rain.
“oh. “f*ck.”
This was a bit tough.
My vision became brighter.
It was a temple, damn it, and it seemed like it was going to be blown up all at once.
Some kind of trick was needed.
While muttering to myself, I grabbed the hilt of the sword.
“okay. “I have no place to return to.”
It was a situation that required a decision.
Lin, who sensed a crisis, was humming loudly.
In any case, all scaffolding would have been destroyed in this attack.
I took a slow deep breath.
I finally felt a bit tense.
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
The weapons were already within reach.
Having made a plan, I jumped off the ground.
The light got closer.
At the same time, the spear of light struck and destroyed half of the temple without a trace.
The scaffolding disappeared, but I didn’t care.
Since I can’t go back, I have to end it here somehow.
“bald head.”
I swung my sword all the while rising like a comet.
The weapons and giants blocking the way were collapsing, breaking into hundreds of pieces in real time.
At some point, the front opened up and the king was revealed.
This was the game.
I swung my sword at his feet.
bang!
My body, which had been flying as the sword energy exploded, accelerated once more.
For a moment, I felt a sensation similar to moving through space.
The king’s face, which had been far away, appeared right before my eyes.
Fuuuuuuu!!!
A sonic boom exploded behind me.
“what···.”
“The f*cking king game ends here!”
An echo rang out.
At that moment, I felt like a wall inside me was broken.
Time slows down.
The king’s movement as he hurriedly raised his great sword was slowly recognized.
All the surrounding elements are clearly visible one by one.
‘This···.’
It seems like the sensations I sometimes felt were maximized.
Billions of sparkling particles were decorating the surroundings.
It seemed like the king was planning to continue his attacks until I died.
Although I found it offensive, I decided to forgive.
Anyway, it’s a thing of the past now.
The only sword that moved at its own speed drew an arc.
A blue line was drawn over the king’s thick neck.
It was the moment when the sky unfolded before my eyes as I passed by him.
Sgak-!
The line opened and the king’s head rose into the air.
fantasy,
