King of Madness (3)
The sight of the giant fist falling down was reminiscent of an avalanche.
Kuuuung—!
And the resulting shockwave instantly tore through the surrounding space, causing a massive earthquake in the area.
A huge crater appeared on the ground, dust was scattered everywhere, and a violent storm swept through the area.
It is a phenomenon that occurred in a single blow.
It was a continuation of a normal punch.
“Hahaha! This is thrilling!”
However, those who stood up to him were not intimidated by his majesty and moved immediately.
Harley, who had inflated his size to the max and reached a height of about 15 meters, reaching up to the giant’s thighs.
Kkwaduk!
He rushed at me like a beast, his whole body covered in crimson scales, and immediately began tearing at my huge arms with his sharp claws.
His solid muscles were torn to shreds, and pure white blood instantly dyed the surroundings.
Phew!
Boom!
The giant paid no attention to him and just swung his arm, knocking him back as he tried to fall back.
With an incredible reaction speed that is disproportionate to its size.
“You are bothering me, savage. How can you possibly do anything to me by flying and crawling?”
A giant growling as if he were annoyed.
Before I knew it, the wound on his arm had healed in an instant.
Of course, Harley also jumped up from her seat right away thanks to the madness stored in her body, but the difference in total strength was so great that the exchange rate was overwhelmingly disadvantageous.
‘Besides, since that bastard’s senses are so sensitive, it’s not easy to take advantage of his small size and speed. He responds as if he’s been waiting for me to move irregularly.’
When fighting Hans, it was hard to feel the pressure from all sides and the overwhelming force that he used to crush me, but when we 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 came back to life, he would not be able to defeat that guy.
‘It was a good thing I got as far away from the city as possible. If only I hadn’t…’
It had only been a little over a minute since Harley and the Revolutionary had confronted each other, but the surrounding area was already in ruins, as if it had been bombed.
The twisted earth screamed in the aftermath of the terrible physical force, and the surrounding air shook violently with the clash of energies mixed with aura and madness.
‘···Still, we need to go a little further. Tarak is Hubert’s stronghold city, so we can’t let it be destroyed even by mistake.’
Even though it was still more than 5 kilometers away, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy about the situation.
I wish Hubert had run a little further.
The biggest thing was that when the giant let his guard down and snatched Diana away, he was caught earlier than expected.
Even though he had to use a separate protective magic tool because his speed reached supersonic speeds while wearing that expensive suit.
“Hahaha! It’s definitely not easy! I guess he’s not just a big guy like the ones that came out before?”
“Hah! How dare you compare me to those guys···!”
At that moment, the expression on the giant’s face, who had been answering leisurely, hardened in an instant.
And then he turns around like lightning…
WHHHHH!
He swung his massive arms in the air.
The few remaining bushes in the area were blown away violently by the violently raging storm.
And right after that.
“Tsk, I didn’t expect you to notice this. How annoying.”
A man appeared quietly from a distance with a cold voice.
Heinz II, the Holy Blood Vampire, was trying to launch a surprise attack using “Negation of Existence”.
He clicked his tongue, calmly adjusting his clothes.
The moment the giant frowned and was about to open his mouth to say something.
A second change occurred.
Paaaaat—!
A brilliant light appeared from a distance and illuminated the sky.
“There you are. An evil spirit that goes against the will of the Lord.”
A man who appeared with that flash continued speaking calmly.
The aura of divine light that rose from his body spread widely, instantly calming the turbulent energy nearby.
It was Heinrich, a saint of the Shinsin Sect who joined using “Blessing: Leap”.
Transcendent beings naturally surround the giant from three directions.
The giant, who had been silent for a moment with his eyes narrowed, raised the corners of his mouth.
“Khaha! A mongrel savage, a vampire lord, and even a saint of the Shinshu sect? Is this really… Hmm?”
But the giant’s words, which were about to start a fight, could not continue until the end.
The expression on the man’s face slightly distorted as he stopped talking, then he turned his head and glared at Harley.
The gaze turned back to Heinz II, and then to Heinrich…
“···What is it, you guys?”
Soon, I blurted out a question that was rising from my heart, and without realizing it, I let out a trembling voice.
He wasn’t sure, because he didn’t have the right sense of smell for that kind of thing.
But I could clearly sense a sense of discomfort from them.
of course-.
“Hahahaha! I am the Southern King, Harley!”
“Ugh, you’re going to die anyway. It’s annoying, so just disappear nicely.”
“You are a heretic who has gone against God’s will and thrown the world into chaos. You will be punished right here and now.”
I had no intention of giving ‘them’ an answer to that question.

Kwaaaaang——!
A thunderous noise that shook the heavens and the earth echoed throughout the space.
A huge explosion sent up a plume of dust, and a shock wave rippled out from its epicenter, sweeping across the landscape…
“The aftermath is coming! Prepare to respond!”
“Strengthen the barrier!”
It had a profound effect on the walls of Tarak, which were about ten kilometers away.
Kurururung—!
A shock wave compresses the atmosphere as if distorting space, and a protective barrier becomes clearer as it surrounds the entire city.
The barrier, which had been shaking precariously for a moment due to the strong aftermath, soon regained stability through the desperate efforts of the magicians, and thus the crisis of unknown number was safely passed once again.
“Whew— my liver and gall bladder are chilled.”
One of the knights guarding the wall northwest of Tarak sighed in relief.
It was the common thought of everyone on the walls, but the relief did not last long and soon disappeared.
Because it was impossible to even guess how many more waves like this would come in the future.
“Damn, it would have been better if the walls hadn’t collapsed! What about the maintenance? Not yet? What did the wizards say?”
“They say they’ve managed to hold out somehow by setting up a temporary structure, but it’s impossible to completely restore the barrier in this situation! But since it hasn’t completely collapsed, they’re able to do this at least···.”
“···Damn, should I be thankful that they fought in such a remote place? If such a monster were running wild in the city···.”
This is no joke, the entire city could have been wiped out.
The knight glanced at the wizards moving busily, then turned his head in the direction of the cause of this situation.
Kuung—!
Then, once again, a shock wave erupted from the source.
However, this time the scale was smaller than before, so it wasn’t something to be excited about now.
While the wizards groaned, he raised his aura to strengthen his vision and looked at the battlefield on the other side with a hardened face.
“This is ridiculous. What the heck is that···.”
“Ha, haha··· crazy···.”
And he wasn’t the only one staring blankly at it.
The other knights who were stationed on the walls but had nothing else to do like the wizard also watched the spectacle with cold sweat dripping down their faces, lost in thought.
On the other side, where all the trees and hills that obstructed the view were cut away.
There was a colossal giant whose physique could be seen at a glance, even from a considerable distance away.
A monster that gives off such a vicious aura that it makes you think it’s hundreds of meters tall.
Its very existence was nothing less than violence.
The air shook with a simple movement, and each strike distorted space and spread destruction around them.
Even just looking at it was a huge mental burden, so it was an entity that was impossible to have a normal fight with in the first place.
In fact, the knights were able to stand still because they had their own level of support, in addition to the distance and defensive barriers. The ordinary soldiers had already been thrown out the moment they saw the giant.
Krrrr!
Now, in front of those who have the minimum qualifications to view it.
A legendary fight, something out of a fairy tale, was taking place.
“···What am I dreaming of? This is so unrealistic.”
“Phehehe— I’ve heard a lot of great things about it, but this is actually a downplayed rumor. I was living in a well···.”
Not only does he stand on equal terms with the colossal titan he thought he could never touch, he actually pushes him back—.
Three beings moving organically as if they were one body.
A warrior who appeared as a savior, a saint of the Shinshu sect, a vampire who seemed to have come to support from the neighboring country of Thalia, and lastly…
“···Could it be Yong-in Harley? I heard it’s been a while since you left this place.”
“Harley? Harley? I heard you were very active in the defense of the Steel Citadel… Is that red giant really Harley?”
“Hmm, there’s so little known about Yongin···.”
A large creature covered in dark red scales all over its body and armed with sharp claws and teeth.
Although his physique only reached the white giant’s thighs, he stood up to him toughly and held him head-on.
So that others can attack more reliably.
Harley lunged like a tiger at one of the giant’s legs.
The giant reacted immediately and tried to kick him instead, but one of his arms was caught in a number of bloody chains that appeared with exquisite timing, temporarily losing his balance.
At that moment, Heinrich appeared in front of him and swung the holy sword surrounded by a pillar of light, cutting into his eye, but the bastard had no choice but to tilt his head back to avoid it…
Boom—!
Harley’s fierce body tackle followed immediately, slamming into one of the giant’s legs as intended.
And while the giant, whose center of gravity was shaken and he was struggling not to fall, was once again attacked by the vampire and the saint, tore at his body.
“Kwaaak—! These bastards—!”
The giant’s roar resonates loudly.
The subsequent connections were the same.
The three of them worked so well together that it was amazing how they cornered the giant step by step, and they hunted the giant monster down, slowly suffocating it.
“It’s beautiful… That is the ultimate way to pass the exam.”
“Huh— At least those vampires have never been in a match before, so how come they work so well together? Do those who have reached that level even have a connection with each other?”
“Ahem, just looking at it makes my stomach churn. If it weren’t for the barrier, the common people would have died in droves.”
While the knights were expressing their amazement at the precise coordination that seemed to have been achieved by dividing that single breath into tens of thousands of parts.
Unlike them who had nothing to do, the wizards were fighting a fierce battle that was like a war.
“Magic Stone! Is it still far? Bring it quickly! As soon as you can!”
“Don’t just sit there and do nothing! Move quickly! If this place collapses, the citizens will be killed!”
“Change! The Rockapelli Tower is out and the Tenure Tower is in the center! Hurry!”
In order to protect the city from the ceaseless waves of destruction, not only the magicians of the realm but also the magicians of the magic tower were called together and joined the city walls.
As the blood gradually drained from the faces of those who had been separated in real time.
[“It looks like it’s in a pretty precarious situation. Let me help you out a little.”]
As they were struggling, an unfamiliar woman’s voice clearly entered their minds.
The refined use of magical power within it was so exquisite that it was a skill that would make one exclaim in admiration.
“uh?”
“Wait a minute, who is this···!”
The moment when the bewildered wizards all raised their heads.
Tsk tsk tsk—!
The surface of the wall froze in an instant.
It expanded its area in the blink of an eye, covering the area where the collapsed wall was, and soon began to replace the broken defensive barrier while emitting strange waves.
“What the heck is this… You forcibly re-wrote the barrier’s circuit using ice magic?!”
“So you’ve figured out all the circuits of this huge wall!”
“More than that, what is this amount of magical power? With this level, he’s not just a simple archmage, right? No way···!”
The sky above the heads of the wizards who were confused in such a different sense.
Archmage Issae, who was helping to defend the city remotely, nodded slowly while making eye contact with the group floating next to her.
“But I don’t know if we can be of any help in a fight like that. I wonder if we’re just being a bother to them.”
“Let’s make assisting the saint our top priority. If we use the sky like we are doing now, wouldn’t we be able to minimize the risk?”
High Elf Lydia, who was the strongest in the Elven Kingdom before Harris appeared, and Saint Riesta, who possessed the greatest divine power in the church.
The entire party of warriors who had been staying in the Great Hall during the Pope’s funeral had hurriedly arrived to follow Henry.
But they weren’t the only additional reinforcements.
There was another place on earth where the strong gathered.
“As expected of High Lord! You don’t even bow down to the saints of the church!”
“Ah—I will sacrifice this one life for the glory of hybrids!”
“Hmm, I guess I won’t be able to use the giant’s blood. This is difficult.”
Many true-blooded hybrid vampires, including Freesia Brokoslak, and…
“Hahaha, you guys, don’t push yourself too hard and just help out. For once, you’ve got an interesting opponent.”
“Yes, Bricky!”
Another Holy Blood-level vampire, Bricky, had also arrived in Tarak.
To make sure that one revolutionary is taken down.
