Cloudy Ring.
Weather Form.
The power contained within it was the power of climate manipulation, enough to completely change the weather in the area.
If he wanted to, he could devastate the entire area by dropping not just one, but hundreds or thousands of lightning bolts.
But despite this, Russell did not do that.
There are two reasons.
Not only do I know very well that I do not yet have the ability to control that power… … .
‘What we need at this moment is not multiple lightning bolts, but powerful lightning concentrated into one.’
By reducing the range of generated thunderclouds, mana consumption is greatly reduced.
And by concentrating the created thunderbolt on one point, its power was raised to its maximum.
The power of the Lightning Vortex that unfolds as a result is far greater than that of any 7th circle magic.
Of course, there were drawbacks as well.
Even though it has been reduced, it still consumes a significant amount of magical power for a single shot.
Moreover, because it is so powerful, it is difficult to control, making it vulnerable to accuracy.
As a result, if you don’t get it right even after enduring it, it will be a huge risk.
But… … .
‘This moment is an exception.’
The opponent is a monster so large that it blocks the sun. It made no sense to miss a guy like that.
Gurgling!
Gwangju (光柱).
A pillar of light rises from the spot where the lightning struck and soars up to the sky.
────────Wow!!
Then, all trees within a radius of several hundred meters completely evaporated.
The temperature was so high that not even ashes could be left behind, let alone a pile of charcoal.
The shock wave originating from the center of the explosion shook the entire area.
Outside the center of the explosion, hundreds of meters of trees were torn out by their roots and scattered across the ground.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwa!
“Huh, what kind of power is this… … .”
Niccolo stuck out his tongue amidst the torrent of sand dust that rose up magnificently.
If given enough time, he could show similar power, but his opponent would be in his mid-twenties at most.
Wasn’t he someone who had just become a 6th Circle Master?
The gap between the top level and the super level must be enormous, but it is still this level of power.
Amelia Merwin, who remembered some memories about Russell, added later.
“… … Artifact.”
I remembered that a man named Russell Raymond had entered the palace’s archives twice.
But they didn’t know.
The power of the artifact was only borrowed to the extent of the shape of a thundercloud.
It was Russell’s own ability to concentrate, condense, and control thousands of lightning bolts in one place.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have been so calm.
“Ugh.”
“… … Nose.”
Suddenly, Io and Arain grabbed their noses.
Is it a smell generated by burning and evaporating trees in the area, or is it a smell coming from the melting flesh of Hecatoncheires?
The elf’s sensitive sense of smell reacted to the suddenly rising odor.
“Well, if it’s this kind of power… … .”
Alan Page opened his mouth, calming the unrest that had not yet subsided.
An uncharacteristically stuttering voice. Everyone focused their attention.
I gazed beyond the sand and dust that covered the area.
I don’t think this can be defeated, but it’s still fine… … .
“Huh—!”
“You can’t believe you’re still standing on your own two legs after getting hit by that!”
As if to ridicule such a thought as arrogance.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo.
Beyond the gradually settling dust, a giant was raising his head thoughtfully.
.
.
The revealed giant’s appearance did not look completely fine. Steam continued to rise from the skin that had been damaged by the intense heat, and scars that looked like they were being torn apart were engraved on the back where the lightning had struck.
The spot where the lightning struck and passed is a sign of ripening before bleeding.
However, the giant was still alive and well.
The wounds it sustained were not that minor compared to its huge size.
Would you say that a person has a tattoo on their back that is about the size of two palms?
‘Even if you hit that directly, it’s still that bad… … .’
The amount of magical energy used in this attack was barely enough to cover the entire task.
If you calculate it numerically, you will be able to use the same attack as before ten times.

‘The problem is that you can’t defeat it even if you repeat it ten times.’

Truly the majesty of a monster from the mythical era. It was then.
What changed in the guy’s body?
Crunch, crackle-.
The guy raised his head with a scary sound, as if he was twisting or squeezing something.
He moved about a hundred arms like clay and sent them to four parts.
He opened his mouth, intertwining them and turning them into four huge arms.
─Magic with black hair and the power of a dragon.
“… … ?”
─What is your relationship with Kim Hyun-seong?
‘Kim Hyun-seong?’
Russell tilted his head.
‘What is that? Is it an artifact or something of that sort?’
It was a word born from a completely different language system.
It was absurd for Russell, who was only familiar with this world’s language system, to think of someone’s name from that word.
Even if you noticed that the word ‘Kim Hyun-seong’ was someone’s name, it would not be easy to connect it with ‘Otherworld Savior’.
─You don’t know.
In response to Russell’s reaction, the guy clenched his fist.
─Well, it doesn’t matter.
Clud-.
The behemoth created by each of the twenty-five arms intertwined like a vine plant was transformed into the shape of a fist.
─An annoying memory came to mind for no reason. Now die.
At the same time, the atmosphere and the scenery unfolding before my eyes were blown away.
─────────────!!
One moment.
It was such a short period of time that it was just a few moments connected at most.
‘─!?’
When Russell came to his senses again, his body was spinning randomly in the air.
My ears are ringing, and blood is gushing out from inside.
“Week-!”
Russell managed to straighten himself up by spitting out a bowlful of it. She flew hundreds of meters and placed the new model on a broken piece of wood.
‘… … what?’
Alan Page’s voice was heard along the wind.
[Are you okay? Lord Russell!?]
When I looked up, I saw several giant fists made of dirt and rock and Hecatoncheires striking each other.
Boom, boom, boom, ──boom!
Every time Hecatoncheires delivers a blow, the giant earthen fist is pulverized helplessly.
Each time, Nicolo poured out his magic power one after another. He created new fists and hands of dirt equal to the number of pieces he shattered.
Others were also assisting Nicolo.
[Using Olive’s magic and wind, we have created a communication network that allows communication from a distance. Can you hear my voice?]
Only then did Russell finally come to his senses and spit out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth.
[Tsk─.]
He asked, pressing his temple.
[what… … Did something happen?]
[This is the same punch that was aimed at Amelia. It seems to be less powerful than when a hundred pieces were combined into one, but there doesn’t seem to be any change or body-stopping reaction like before.]
It may be a little weaker, but I was hit at a much closer range than Amelia Merwin.
‘Should we say that it is brave to have one’s life attached?’
[Luckily, Amelia and Nicolo managed to let it go… … .]
The aftermath alone is such a shock.
If there were a monster that could create a storm with its fists, it would be that one.
Immediately after, Nicolo’s voice was heard. The voice cuts out occasionally, as if just using magic is stressful.
[Hey, it’s okay. Is it okay?]
Still, I could roughly understand the meaning.
[yes.]
[Just now, a thunderbolt. Magic. Again, one, go. Did you do it?]
The question is: Is it possible to use the same thunderbolt magic as before again?
[Now, we can, you, pick up the wound. Is… … only.]
‘All we can do now is open the wound you created.’
[That’s right, if you make a lot of scratches, it’s good… … Pfft!]
Quagwang!
Nicolo’s body, which had been struggling with heavy drinking, fell backwards.
As a result, the magic he was casting was canceled, but his voice came through much more clearly than before.
[Can you do it?]
[You can do it, but I don’t really recommend it.]
The operation itself to heal the wound was not bad.
But the wound created is too shallow for that to happen.
‘If we aim for the same exact spot, everything will work out.’
Otherwise, it would be the same even if it was repeated ten times.
‘It is impossible to precisely control the Lightning Vortex and hit the same target at my current level.’
[How about using a different method? Niccolo.]
[other way?]
[yes. There is a way that goes beyond effective hitting and may even take the person’s life away. but… … .]
A way to kill that monster?
As soon as Russell’s words rang out, the breathing sounds of everyone in the group who were sharing the same communication network changed.
[…] … It takes time. Approximately 15 minutes, no matter how fast you cast, about 13 minutes… … .]
[hmm… … .]
Unlike when the battle had just begun, the giant had begun to rampage in earnest.
Holding out for about 15 minutes against such a giant is no easy task.
furthermore… … .
─Krrrrr.
I don’t know what caught my eye.
Unlike the first time, more than half of the fifty pairs of eyes were glaring at Russell with blazing gazes.
In the worst case, we cannot rule out the possibility that about one-third of the personnel will suffer irreversible damage.
but.
[…] … other way. doesn’t exist.]
Amelia Merwin, who was tying the man’s feet with the handcuffs of the cutting wind and storm, muttered.
As the saying goes, there is no other way. Moreover, it was only Russell’s magic that caused the effective damage.
[I have no choice but to try it… … .]
He muttered, looking like he had aged by several years in just a moment.
[Everyone must have heard the story.]
It was then spread through the communication network.
[We have 15 minutes from now. Do your best to prevent that giant from approaching Count Russell.]
The only means to turn the situation around. Russell exhaled slowly as he felt the expectations of everyone in the group being placed on his shoulders.
‘First, replenish the magical power that has been exhausted.’
In order to complete the plan he had built up in his head with a single drawing, he needed more mana than the total amount he had.
‘Partial acceptance.’
Wow-
With an unusual force, ferocious magic flowed out like waves around Russell.
Alan Page, who had experienced a similar phenomenon the day before, began to tremble.
Regardless, Russell, who had replenished his magical power, came up with an image.
What I want to embody is the flesh of divine death that will pierce everything.
‘Or the Spear of Godslaughter.’
『Brahmastra』
Briareos was enraged by Russell’s changed magical power.
─You! also! Kim Hyun-seong and that damn lizard bitch… … ?!
The roar of the giant body shook the mountains, rivers and trees.
──────Quaaaaa!!!
