Episode 988
While Catton was taken aback by his junior’s words, the frost giant continued to explain.
-This is a match that proves how well a warrior uses his physical strength and magical powers.
“indeed. All right.”
Lee Han reacted cautiously.
First of all, when he saw the ice on that glacier, being able to melt it with magic was definitely an advantage for Lee Han.
I recently had experience using magical power in relation to Orichalcon, so this will also be helpful.
‘But there may be a more favorable matchup.’
It would have been a disaster if I had chosen for no reason and found a more advantageous match later. Lee Han waited calmly.
-This is the next match.
thud!
“…?”
The frost giant dragged his fallen comrade next to him and placed him on a rock with a thud.
Lee Han and Giselle were shocked by the unexpected event.
What kind of fight is that?
-Tap this guy’s head hard to wake him up.
“…I don’t know much about the frost giant’s physical structure, but it seems like if you hit its head hard in this state, it will fall asleep forever.”
-ha ha ha! challenger. That means you don’t know anything. This helmet is a magic helmet.
The frost giant laughed at Lee Han’s words and pointed to his fallen comrade’s helmet.
Surprisingly, I could feel the energy of magic in the helmet.
Even though Lee Han never lacked the talent to sense magical power, he did not realize it until he heard it.
‘amazing. Is it because it is a frost giant’s magic and has a unique structure? Even taking that into account, it’s extraordinary.’
A helmet that could hide magic from the outside like that was not an ordinary artifact.
-An invincible helmet that blocks all impacts.
“…You collapsed earlier, right?”
-You hit me in the face. Even an invincible helmet cannot block the parts that cannot be covered.
The frost giant looked at Lee Han as if he was saying something stupid.
“So are you going to wake me up by hitting me in the face?”
-What are you talking about? If you hit the weak spot of a fallen warrior, you can fall asleep forever. Of course, you have to hit it on the top of the helmet.
“You said it was an invincible helmet…”
-It is an invincible helmet, but if you hit it very hard, it has a shock. This is a match that tests that.
“……”
Lee Han decided that from now on, he would have to think that half of what the Frost Giants said was just a bluff.
For an invincible helmet, it was not very invincible.
‘indeed. ‘Is it a fight to kill the opponent by impacting the top of the helmet… no, to wake him up?’
This match also had an advantage for Lee Han.
As that helmet blocks shock with magic, if the magic itself is broken, its function disappears.
No matter how much the frost giant’s magic was, it seemed like it could be stopped for a moment by swinging Baldororn’s magic hammer.
‘It doesn’t seem like that helmet has a separate magic structure to prepare for the magic hammer. There’s a good chance it will work.’
“Junior.”
“?”
Before I knew it, Caton had come up behind me.
The senior beastman whispered as if he was worried.
“Are you okay? “If only I could give you a signal right now…”
“ah. It’s still okay. “Let me listen a little more.”
“!!!”
Caton was greatly surprised.
I came to check for myself in case my junior Giselle was mistaken, but would I have guessed that Lee Han would give the same answer?
“Are there any other confrontations?”
-Yes. The final fight is a very enjoyable one. It is a competition over drinking strong alcohol.
Contests involving strong alcohol were not necessarily a custom exclusive to the Frost Giants.
This custom could be found all over the empire, and even giants and dwarves liked it…
-It’s a poisonous drink made by magic.
“…yes?”
Lee Han asked again, wondering if he had heard wrong.
But I heard correctly. The frost giant brought a large cask and spoke.
-It is a liquor made by our shaman and filled with poison. If a warrior wants to prove how strong they are, they pour this drink on them.
The frost giants did not stop at strong drinks, but even enjoyed drinking poisoned drinks.
Sometimes there were giants who actually died while drinking, but that was the same in fights. No giant would stop fighting just because there were deaths.
Caton’s decision was clear this time.
“I will draw my sword. “Junior.”
“You’re lucky. “It went very well.”
“?!?!!”
Caton looked at the delighted White Tiger Top junior with astonishment.
…Could it be that he and Wardanaz are not on good terms?
‘They certainly seemed friendly…’
* * *
Of course, the match ended with the victory of Lee Han, who chose the third match.

-Wow…
“……”
However, Lee Han was not happy even after winning.
This was because the number of fallen giants increased to two.
-Poison, I drank too much poison…
“If that side falls, who will guarantee my honor! Seniors. Do you know how to decipher this strong drink?”
“Junior. “There is no way I would know that.”
Caton spoke confidently.
There weren’t many people who could say with such confidence that they didn’t know. Lee Han nodded his head in understanding without realizing it.
‘That’s definitely true.’
“It’s my first time seeing that alcohol too. Wardanaz. “It’s frost giant poison in the first place.”
“Have the Moradi family ever fought a frost giant?”
“Not all families struggle with monsters from other dimensions.”
Even if I argued with Giselle, it didn’t resolve anything. Lee Han gave up and changed his method.
The downfall of Gonadaltes!
This strange magic, which transfers the opponent’s abnormal status to oneself, would not normally be used much, but in the current situation, the story was different.
It doesn’t matter how much addiction you have…
-Wow!
The frost giant, whose complexion had darkened due to poisoning, came to his senses.
“Are you awake?”
-You mean I lost?
“yes.”
-I do not remember! I can not admit it! Battle again…
Sreuk-
Caton thrust his sword at the frost giant’s throat. The frost giant nodded his head.
-…If I were to apply, it would be tarnishing my honor as a warrior. I will guarantee the challenger’s honor in my name. “Thank you!”
The frost giant woke up his helmeted companion lying next to him.
Then he grumbled.
-You decide your honor with just one fight. What’s so bad about two or three times?
“……”
“……”
The frost giant wearing a helmet woke up late and shouted.
-I should have swung my fist, not my club… What happened!?
-The challenger passed the test. I decided to guarantee your honor.
-This kind of idiot…! If that was going to happen, you should have handed it over to me! You took away our honor!
-joy. Then why don’t we fight first?
The frost giants who had recovered were snarling and exchanging sharp conversations among themselves.
And when the conversation ended, I glanced at Lee Han.
-If we fight one more time, we might be able to gain the honor of a challenger recognized by the king…
-To be honest, isn’t one confrontation too few? True honor is created through multiple battles…
“Why are there all these bastards?”
Giselle spat out as if she was dumbfounded.
Although they looked like a majestic warrior race, their actions were more humble than those of the giants living in the Einrogard Mountains.
If you lose, you lose. You keep glancing in this direction and saying things like, ‘Oh, one fight is too few’ or ‘I wish we had more fights.’
-Wh, what are you talking about? We didn’t say anything.
-I will not tolerate insults, stranger!
The frost giants seemed to have been stabbed, so they led the way without hesitation any longer.
The other frost giants staying in the snow and ice fortress located inside the valley expressed their curiosity when they saw the visitor.
-Who is it? What’s going on here, a stranger from another dimension?
-He is an honorable challenger recognized by the king.
-what!? In that case, that honor belongs to me…
-It’s already done. I challenged and lost, and promised there would be no more challenges.
-What are you!
The frost giants swarmed out and got angry at their comrades.
The opportunity for great honor was lost because of this greedy man!
“I understand that you are disappointed, but what can you do? Everyone gave up…”
Despite Lee Han’s words, the frost giants did not give up easily.
Someone muttered.
-If the person you promised disappears, doesn’t it reset? Maybe we can fight again.
-indeed! …Would you like to come over here for a moment?
-dare?! You will never be able to get rid of me!
The frost giant, who was in danger of being dragged away by his comrades and disappearing, shouted in rage.
However, the other frost giants were no slouch either.
As the opportunity for honor to be recognized by the king was lost, he wanted to get it again by getting rid of this selfish colleague.
“That’s it. They’re trash. “Are you still fighting over trivial things?”
The frost giants showed their anger at the voice of the human wizard coming from behind.
Even if some of them were recognized, the frost giants were not a benevolent race that strangers from another dimension could freely insult.
-How dare anyone… Wow! Gonadaltes!
-Oh, it’s Gonadaltes!
-Gonadaltes???
The frost giants, who were about to vent their anger, were shocked when they saw the wizard behind them.
No matter how dull the frost giants were at distinguishing the appearances of other races, they could not forget that appearance.
Gonadaltes, the nightmare of the giants!
That very wizard was standing at the entrance to the valley with a group of servants.
-What are you doing here?
“The royal disciple came as an envoy, but it took too long.”
The White Tiger Tower students who followed behind the crazy self-immolation continued to nod their heads.
Although the headmaster’s alter ego was a dangerous archmage, at least he was on their side for now.
‘Show those frost giants a lesson!’
-He was a disciple of Gonadaltes?!
“once.”
-?
“I showed mercy once. “There will be no second time, so guard your tongue.”
The frost giants nodded hesitantly.
-You mean he was the archmage’s disciple?
“…That’s right.”
I found it a bit odd that my crazy self came late after the battle was over, but I felt like I had come now.
Thanks to this, the attitude of the Frost Giants, who had been trying to keep pushing them, completely changed.
‘What did you do to the giants before?’
In ancient times, Lee Han had seen a young skeleton principal beat up everything from giants to demons.
But I never thought I would feel so scared even after this long time has passed. Even though they are a race from another dimension.
‘no. ‘That’s not important now.’
“Everyone, let’s stop obsessing over fame and winning now! “We must get to the point.”
Lee Han quickly shouted.
When the frost giants got scared, they had to nail them down and make them never talk again.
-i get it. Let me get to the point.
– Instead, just wait a moment.
The frost giants nodded their heads in agreement and each took something out of their pockets.
It was a wax notepad.
Lee Han became curious when he saw the cackling with his large hands.
Lee Han grabbed the frost giant wearing the helmet who had fallen first and asked a question.
“What are you all writing down now?”
-Challenge, do you not know how to read?
“…I don’t know frost giant letters, but I know how to read other things.”
-It is better to learn letters.
I felt annoyed when the monolingual speaker looked at me as if I felt sorry for him.
But Lee Han persevered.
“So what do you mean?”
-This means ‘an honorable challenger recognized by the king.’ It’s a modifier that refers to you as a challenger.
“…What about underneath?”
-The meaning below is ‘disciple of the wizard Gonadaltes.’ This is also a modifier that refers to you, the challenger.
“So what’s the last line?”
-You have two honors that you can never give up to others, so it means you have to take them first.
Lee Han nodded.
He then vowed to confiscate the text from the frost giants.
