< Sun – Cloud Solas (9) >
Clausolas is disguised as the moon.
I feel dizzy when I reach this possibility.
“hmm······.”
“To the sun by day… to the moon by night…”
At our guess, Runia and Yuel made similarly troubled faces.
“It’s not really as wide as the distance between the sun and the moon. If it’s that far, it’s impossible to reach it in the first place, so there’s no need to think about it.”
“There must be magical barriers spread throughout the Sky Islands. To activate this level of magic permanently…”
“Clau Solas itself must be a medium for magic.”
If you roll 4 years in this fantasy world, that amount of guesses will naturally come out.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was great magic. A spell that is different from simple destruction magic.
“Is there a way to reach…?”
“Probably not. But… it’s impossible for us.”
Except for Yuel, all of them are melee knights. It is difficult for Yuel to exert his strength in this place without a forest.
“······The solar eclipse will be in two days. Until then, let’s figure out a way.”
“Yes. Nothing has been confirmed yet.”
It’s still too early to give up. We figured out a way… and the next day, in the afternoon. thing happened
Runia cut off one of the giant’s arms.
* * * *
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
A roaring scream. While exploring the giant’s castle, we ran straight to the source of the sound.
“Chit…”
Dozens of giants were already surrounding something in the place we rushed to. And its center…
“sister!”
Runia was standing in awe, trampling on a giant three times as tall as me.
“Human…! How dare you do this!”
“I will kill you!”
“If you want to die, I won’t stop you.”
Lunia is unstoppable even against dozens of giants. I hurriedly went into their gap.
“Wait, wait! Let’s check what’s going on first!”
When asked what happened, Runia calmly recited the circumstances of the incident.
“He tried to eat me. I thought he could eat at least one other than a druid. I offered him a piece of meat.”
Is that meat part of a giant’s arm? This is self-defense, no matter who sees it.
“You arrogant human bastard! How dare you come to our castle!”
“I’ll boil it and eat it!”
The greedy giants didn’t like that kind of incident. Yes, since they are such violent people, they must have been locked up in the Sky Island.
The giants are mid-boss level objects that each start with at least level 1. If there are dozens of such giants… facing them head-on would be suicidal.
“Wait! Listen to my baby, brothers!”
“Nothing to listen to…!”
“My master, Monk Dun Sky, will bring gifts for you! Thousands of serpents and hundreds of toads!”
“huh?”
“A serpent?”
“toad?”
An expression as if asking what it was and an expression of interest, as if asking me to explain in detail. Anyway, the aggro dragged.
“Monk Doon Skye appreciates your hard work! Bring enough serpents and toads for you to eat for the rest of your life!”
“hmm···.”
“If you show generosity, the master will provide unlimited meat for you!”
OK, Dun Skies? You do the post-processing.
As I continued to sell drugs and other items that were missing, the giants returned as if convinced. Even the one with the broken arm.
Originally, they are not those with high intelligence, but they do believe in the blank checks I overuse.
“Lunia-san, let’s go back.”
“······Sorry for causing a commotion.”
“No, thanks to you, I can be alert in advance.”
We decided to stop exploring during the day and move only tonight. and······.
‘Look at these motherf*ckers. I knew this would happen.’
* * * *
The giant’s castle has a large public dining room suitable for their size.
When the first castle was built, the druids who helped them made furniture and cooking utensils as traces of civilization.
However, to the giants who couldn’t abandon their savage habits, the restaurant became something like a public meeting place where fifty giants could gather at once.
“Captain. The guy who’s coming to get the sun this time.”
“That’s right. Dune Skiaki? That guy.”
“They say his rattle brings serpents and toads. Enough for us to eat for the rest of our lives!”
“That’s right.”
“so?”
“Let’s kick him! Wouldn’t there be more meat at his house?”
“As soon as I finish.”
Unfortunately, the giants had no concept of barter.
In their castle, there was no concept of giving one’s own and receiving the other’s, even though there was a pile of goods that allowed them to monopolize all meat and crops in the kingdom.

As a creature, the way of thinking itself is different.
“But he was sent by Uskias…”
“If he takes the sun. Isn’t that the end of the order given by our ancestor ‘Sharban’?”
“Hmm?”
“Sharvan told us to give the sun to those who bring us red rowan berries.”
“Yes. My grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather said so.”
“Then aren’t we free after giving the sun?”
“is it?”
“Let’s go down to the ground and eat all the humans! Except for the druids, we can eat them!”
“But how can I get down to the ground…”
“There’s a tree they’ve been riding on. Why don’t we just climb down on it?”
“Yes! Yes!”
“As soon as possible!”
“Let’s eat humans! Let’s take all the meat from the sukiyaki guy!”
Giants cheering in unison. They were excited at the thought of regaining their freedom if only the obligations Sharvan had imprinted on their bloodlines were resolved.
Of course, that freedom was close to self-indulgence.
* * * *
In the end, I couldn’t find a way to get close to the sun. Although not as real as the interplanetary distance, it was far enough away from the sun.
All you can conclude is, ‘We can’t get Claus Solas’.
“Arisha, are you ready?”
“Yeah… I’ve got it well.”
But it wasn’t without income.
Grinding my teeth next to the giants, I was able to find out the treasures they treasured, one of which was the ‘chicken that lays golden eggs’ that Arisha and I witnessed at dawn.
“It’s amazing that the harp plays itself.”
A chicken that lays golden eggs. and a harp that plays itself.
“Kokkio…!”
And the chicken and harp are held in Arisha and my hands.
Why is this in my hand? Of course I stole it.
“Uel. How is it? Did you see the spirits?”
“Yes, and the sun…”
We naturally turned our gaze to the sky.
Clausolas. A shadow is slowly forming on the figure that is being camouflaged by the sun. As the eclipse begins, a shadow is cast over the Clausolas.
“Okay, as planned. Well worth the money spent on the astronomers.”
A ‘total solar eclipse’ penetrating the East. It was a famous story in the previous episode.
For the first time in 99 years, the total solar eclipse, in which the moon completely covers the sun, lasted about 2 hours.
After defeating Permak and acquiring the information about this place in Pindias, the city’s astronomer, Lenya of the Information Guild, measured the timing of the eclipse.
Originally, the Cloud Solas that Doomnorix and Skys would acquire through a legitimate process. However, the variable called me will thwart their plans.
“It starts slowly.”
“I heard the plan… but my fiancée seems to be spinning in the wrong direction.”
“I take it as a compliment.”
Aside from Yuel, Sister Aden and I confidently left the castle.
With a chicken that lays golden eggs and a harp that plays itself.
“Now, take a deep breath…”
“”It’s a thief AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
Immortan Locke. he will return
* * * *
Skys and Dumnorix were able to arrive at the Sky Island in time for the schedule.
It is unfortunate that they are two days later than Corin and the others who set out earlier, but they have red rowan berries.
It has an overwhelming advantage over Korin, who has not gone through a legitimate process.
“Hee hee, it’s big.”
castle of giants. Skys jumped like a child at the grandeur.
“hmm······.”
It is the first time that Doomnorix has been to Sky Island. He had been to Murias to get his hands on the magic cauldron, Undry, but it was the exact opposite of Pindias, the sky island.
A place built by the ancient Sky Titans and Druids to hide the secrets of the Danan clan.
Those great magical structures were unexpedient and unreachable.
“Is there a title like Sharvan here?”
“I don’t think so. The size is small for the sky giants to live in.”
Even this majestic castle must have felt like a toy castle to sky giants taller than tens of meters.
-clattering! bang!
-Catch him!
“Yes?”
Noisy inside. The moment when Skys and other Loebs flinched at the roaring sound from inside the castle as if a commotion had broken out.
-Ki-yi-yi-yi!
The castle gate opens. But it wasn’t the giant that came out from within.
“······Wicker Man?”
A huge twig doll reaching 14m. It opened the gate and appeared.
A giant of the forest that is only manufactured using the secret techniques of wise-level druids. Why is that the gate?
“Ohhh, you’re finally here, my master…!”
A person who happily jumps out of the castle. A boy with an impressive, wild smile. tell me what to do It’s Corinne Locke.
“My master! My great master! I have done what you commanded!”
“Uh, huh?”
At that excessive honorific and sudden action, Skys quickly blinked.
I couldn’t figure out the meaning of this action.
“Ah! Master Skys! Your loyal servant, Arisha, has done what you commanded!”
It’s not just Corinne Locke. Arisha, Runia, and even Yuel rushed out of the castle and immediately knelt in front of Skys.
Holding a chicken flapping wings.
“Jogi… Ching-gu? Moyamoya?”
“”Take it!””
Two people handing over things at the same time. Suddenly, Skys, who was handed a chicken and a harp, couldn’t take over the situation and shook.
“no way···.”
Only Dumnorix took hold of the situation and frowned, but it was too late.
– Perok!
The giant’s hand penetrated the chest of the Wicker Man who opened the castle gate. Wicker Man, who formed only with pure magical power without offering sacrifices, fell easily.
“You thieves! You dare steal our treasure!”
“I’ll kill you… Oh, my God.”
What the giants swarming in the castle chasing thieves witnessed were two young men on their knees and ‘someone who seemed to be the captain’ holding stolen treasure in their hands.
“Oh, Mighty Skies! Mighty hero!”
“As you commanded, I stole the treasures of the stupid giants!”
“Huh? Me? When?”
“Now, let’s kill the giants together!”
“Something like a human is aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The wrath of the giants is directed at humans. To be precise, towards Skys, the owner of the thieves.
“Jogi… friends? There seems to be a misunderstanding.”
– Kwak!
The giants did not wait for Skys’ explanation. A giant ax that was several meters high was pressed straight down towards Skys.
-Pujik!
Skys split in half in an instant. The giants’ wrath did not end there.
“Kill all the humans! I’ll eat them all!”
The wrath of the giants was also directed at the Robes who had followed Skys. Hundreds of giants, each of which is a quasi-1st level or higher monster, are powerless.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Sa, save me!”
“Don’t eat! Don’t eat!!”
Loebs who were slaughtered unilaterally. It was when the giants who had eaten them wiped the entrails from their mouths as if satisfied.
“Ooh?”
A giant who roars as if his stomach is bloated. That was the beginning.
“Woo-wook?”
“Uweheek…?!”
Thousands of serpents poured all at once from the giants’ mouths, pupils, and nostrils. Seeing the snakes wriggling over the dead giant’s corpse, the giants were enraged.
“Human! Use witchcraft!”
“Kill! Kill them all!”
Thousands… no, tens of thousands of serpents and giants started a fight to the death. In the midst of that bizarre war situation, Dumnorix turns to Korin, who viciously twists his mouth.
“You bastard…”
“Hahahahahahaha…”
The main culprit who tried to kill a car with a grim smile. He leisurely recited his evil plan while watching Dumnorix prevented from attacking him by Gias.
“Nobody can stop me. Not you, not Dunskys, not Baltazar, not anyone! Koprulu… No, if I can’t have Klau Solas, I’d rather burn it to ashes…! Wahahahahahahahaha!!”
“Corrine, we look like villains.”
“······It’s a villain.”
“ha······.”
* * * *
Corinne and the party left behind Skys and the others who were struggling with each other and quickly started to escape to the oak tree.
“Hehehe, now let’s fight among themselves. Then it’s even better if we die together!”
“Aren’t you ashamed, Corinne?”
“There will be no shame in Immortan Locke…!”
“······What else is Immortan Locke?”
“There’s something like that. Sister.”
Cowardly, cowardly, cunning, confident… Truly Immortan Locke.
“Haa~ I can’t help but lament that I have to accept even this part of my fiancée.”
“By the way, Mr. Corinne. What if they overpower the giants and get the sun?”
“doesn’t care.”
“yes?”
“If we go down to the ground… we’ll cut down all the oak trees.”
“OMG······.”
Evil. Cowardly.
From the beginning, this person was not interested in the regular method at all.
“Only the victor writes history. Hey hey hey hey hey…!”
“Don’t give me that weird smile.”
In any case, the plan works. It would be best to get Claus Solas, but it would be better to leave two of the king’s men on the sky island forever.
As planned, Corin found the branch of the oak tree he had climbed first.
“Hey there…!”
Judging by the other branches growing next to it, it is also possible to see the oak tree that Skys and the others were riding on. It doesn’t matter anyway. The moment you go down, both trees will be cut down.
“for a moment···!”
At that time, Lunia stopped speaking. Three people stopped walking at the same time. It was U.L who realized the reason first.
“Wicker Man?”
near an oak branch. There, a giant Wicker Man over 20 meters tall was staring at us.
“Could it be that he came riding the Wicker Man?”
“That could be… possible.”
Yuel, the druid, also denies it. Wicker Man is basically a secret technique that uses the magic power generated by burning sacrifices as fuel.
To summon Wicker Man without magical power, the limit was tens of seconds at most.
Even Doomnorix could not rise up from the ground while maintaining Wicker Man.
However, since he climbed up while burning sacrifices, there must be an offering to sustain Wicker Man for a long time——
“Avoid…!”
At that moment, the survival instinct that reached the alarm moved us. But faster than that.
“KI──”
The demon of this sword. A swordsman with purple eyes was right in front of me.
“Sword, ear?”
-KIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA────!!!
The ghost’s scream echoed across the sky island.
