Chapter 1240 – Blacksmith of the Deep, Deep

“…You lie…!!”

Homun could not bear to speak.
100 million?
There are 100 million giant monsters, each one of which is equivalent to a member of the hero party?
This cannot happen.
Regardless of how it was made, there are so many giants out there, so how could they have been made so much without being discovered?
Kaits pointed out that point.

“…No matter how many of the Ten Heroes were, they couldn’t have restricted all the information. How did they hide the giant from people when they created the barrier?”

Chuck. The robot pointed up with its finger.

[In this era, it is known that the walls of the sacred place above here were jointly created by me and Frunar, right? To be exact, it was my own creation made with the power left to me by Frunar, so there were plenty of ways to hide it. Well, at first it wasn’t for storing giants.]

At that time, Homun took a deep breath.

“Option…!”

Option?
At that moment, everyone remembered the merits of becoming a titan.
You can learn how to make a paranormal giant, handle the ‘Great Giant’ for sniping demon beasts, and set the ‘options’ for the barrier…

[You’re as smart as you look. Okay. The owner of the barrier can set options. As I was alive at the time, I had authority over the barrier, and later changed its internal structure to be able to contain the giant. It was not big enough to load 100 million bodies… But do you think the internal expansion technique would be a difficult technique for me?]

For 10,000 years, the dwarves and the Hest family had created a path within the wall.
So I thought the inside of the wall was empty.
It was an illusion.
If it were a space expansion spell, it would be possible to load so many portrait giants.
The ten heroes make it themselves, so how big is the space?
The barrier was long and long, so it would have been possible to cast space expansion magic at will.

Wow!

The scrap metal robot suddenly hit the palm of my hand and made a loud noise.

[Now. Let’s get straight to the point. Those who receive my approval become titans and can use all the arrangements I have left, including barriers and portrait titans. For example this.]

Let’s make a hand gesture and say wow. A red jewel-like thing floated next to him.

“Ruby Order…!”

Kaitsu gritted his teeth and Lulua groaned.

“Did you create the Ruby Order as well?”
[Hmm. In the early days when causality was lacking, there was no choice but to supply ‘materials’ from sacred places.]

Ingredient.
Lulua just groaned at the terrible words of using her own people as material for paranormal giants.

[According to the contract with the will of the dimension, I must also tell you the ‘weakness’ of my secret wish. As I said before, the Portrait Giant can only be used by those who have made contact with the crown and are recognized by me as successors. When the successor dies, all Paranormal Giants return to their original state. The reason why such a dangerous and inconvenient method was adopted was, of course, due to the limitations of the will of the dimension.]

[Of course.] The robot added with a grinning voice.

[There is also a way to reinforce this. It would be great if the user himself was powerful, but aren’t I the creator? We found a way to protect users. It reminded me of the joint production that defeated Amuron, the Four Heavenly Kings long ago.]

Prince Dolia muttered, “The legendary giant…”

[That’s correct, prince. Me. Guy. A steel giant that was inspired by the so-called ‘dragons’ produced at the same time by Frunar. Haha. Didn’t you see Gaiga in his mansion hidden in the Land of Stench?]

Lulua thought of robots in the form of a dolphin, a shark, two moles, a falcon, and a humanoid.

[The power of the legendary giant was solely the power of Frunar. In this era, there is no original Prunar, so even the legendary giant cannot perform as well as before, but it still boasts powerful specifications that cannot be easily defeated by the four great demon kings of the current era. I can’t tell you this yet, but in the final stage of my plan… I will be given the means to overcome even them.]

Chuck. Rold’s finger pointed at the companions.

[If you fail the trial and want to prevent the ‘massacre’ that will occur afterwards, I recommend killing the user before boarding the legendary giant.]
“Massacre…?”

Kaits muttered.

[Ah. Massacre. Even if you all fail the trials, control of the paranormal will never come to me. In that case, you can’t even use the ‘last resort’. However, if the trial fails, the paranormal giant automatically charges towards the demon world.]

There was silence.
Homun was the first to break the silence.

“Is there a need for us to go back for an easy answer? Wouldn’t it be enough to just knock you out here and now, fallen hero?”
[Haha! Corrupted? I? I?]

The voice that started out as laughter became filled with anger.
Kwaang-! Rolled slammed his fist on the floor and shouted in a loud voice.

[Even though those insect-like demons are still alive and well! You guys, who are living hahawithout doing anything, are nothing but corrupt in my eyes!!]

Homun also shouted.

“So you’re going to kill all the demons?!! There are plenty of people who oppose war even among the demons! Besides! If a 100 million-strong paranormal giant is advancing… Then humans… Too!”

There will be great damage.
I don’t know the extent of the paranormal giant’s control, but controlling a powerful giant weighing 100 million won’t be that simple.

And the scrap metal robot was calm.

[The sacrifice of a few makes the world eternally peaceful. Isn’t it cheap for the price?]
“…There’s nothing more to say.”

The hero party took a fighting stance at the Homun’s muttering.

“For a moment-!!”
And stand in front of it and shout! There was one who stretched out his arms and blocked him…

“Prince Dolia!”

At the same time as Garcinido’s disbelieving voice, the prince also shouted.

“Why are you trying to stop him, everyone? This is an opportunity!! A chance to completely erase the demons from this world!!”

The warrior party looked at each other and then stared coldly at the prince.
Garcinido spread his palms and persuaded him.

“Prince! Many innocent people are dying!”

The prince was silent at those words… Then closed his eyes tightly and spoke.

“Considering the good lives that will disappear in the future, I think that is a cheap price…”
“Under.”
“I’m serious?”

Raeband laughed and Homun spoke sharply.
The atmosphere becomes ugly.
Unknowingly, Lulua came in front of the prince to protect him… Kang! Kang! Kang! The scrap metal robot clapped its hands.

[Okay. You have to have that kind of spirit. And the companions of modern-day warriors. Look carefully.]

At the end of Rolled’s gaze was Kaitz.
Kaits… Didn’t really take an attack stance.
He’s just thinking about something.

“Sleep, Kaits?”
“Captain Kaits!”

Homun and Raeband called, but Kaits closed his eyes and did not move.

[Hot ha. Are you worried? I like human concerns. However, I have a feeling that you will take advantage of it.]

Rold Degas Caen gestured as if he was stroking his beard. He clapped again.

[Good. Narrow down the candidates. Dolia Daraji. Kaitsu Hiro. You two are great candidates.]

Rius, who was looking at Rolled with an expression that asked, “What is that damn guy talking about?” Was shocked.
He was excluded from the candidacy.
Dre motioned to him.

“Come on. “Loser.”
“…No, bro. “Is now the time to make jokes like that?”

Still, when Dre calls, Rius rushes to his side.
And … Dolia trembled with emotion.

“…I-I…Am I…A candidate for Titan?”

Dolia opened her eyes, and Kaitz opened her eyes.
The warrior turned his back and looked at Dre.

“…What do you want me to do?”

Everyone paused for a moment, acting as if they were asking for permission.
And what about Dre, who was yawning and cackling in anticipation of Rius and Muhyeong? Then she said.

“Do whatever you want. We have to follow.”
“…Yes, that’s right!! We must follow the hero’s words!”

Garcinido, who was more entranced than anyone else, agreed with Dre’s words.
And Kaitz nodded her head.

“You mean you can choose anything. Then… I guess I should choose a new, unknown possibility.”

Rold said with a satisfied smile on his determined face.

[Ask again. Triallings. Among the demons, there are those who live their daily lives without committing any crime. Are you prepared to kill even those innocent people?]
“It is done.”

Kaits answered without hesitation, and Prince Dolia spoke as if her heart was full.

“Of course…! I don’t have to become a titan! As long as you let me contribute a hand to that cause…!! I’m satisfied with that!”

That moment.

“Come on, let’s sleep!”
“Give us qualifications too!!”

Things no one expected opened their mouths.
They were users who followed the advice of the gods in charge and entered the 7th stage, aiming for the God’s Crown, but were caught by Kaits.

Faces mixed with eagerness and greed.
Rold looked at them in silence.

[It reminds me of the old days… Strangers are always the same, no matter what era. They are like monkeys who ran wild with their free power until Frunar came… Tsk tsk.]

Rolled turned his head away from the two users and stood up.

[Warrior. And a prince. I feel that your resolution is real. Then it is the final ordeal.]

The final ordeal?
Without even having time to feel any doubt, Marie and Lulua’s feet suddenly disappeared.
Transparent boundaries disappear and people fall into the abyss.

Woe!

“Uh, huh?!”
“…!”

The two women tried to deal with it by channeling their divine power and releasing their unique Ryunar…

Tiring!

[The ban on floating has been strengthened!]

With just one gesture from Rolled, it became impossible to deal with it.

“Marii-!!”
“Lulua!!”

Kaits and Dolia ran to Marie and Lulua respectively.

Just then. Garcinido turned into a bolt of lightning and tried to rush at Roldd… Blah blah blah! Before I knew it, my body was captured by the ‘telekinesis machine’ built next to Rolled.

“Ugh…?!”

Production is faster than lightning?
Garnishido’s eyes widened at the incredible speed.
Other hero parties also moved in unison, but the paranormal giants roared loudly and kept them in check.

Rold said.

[If it’s a bright stranger, it doesn’t hurt that much even if you die. Real determination. It is only when you cut off something precious that you can see it. Okay. I’m Gaiga and Titan. Just like I broke up with those two. Just as I had the demonic beast born from the remnants of that disgusting and fearful true demon king capture my own people and turned them into paranormal giants with my own hands.]

Ugh. A rope appeared in front of Marie and Lulua.
Kaits and Dolia grabbed their hands and quickly grabbed the rope.

[Abandon your beloved lover. That is the final condition. Ah… I’m telling you, this isn’t some strange thing like testing the hero’s righteousness. Even if you say that you can’t give up until the end, I will never recognize you as titans.]

Geek. Rold de clenched and unclenched his fists.

[I promise. Those who pass this ordeal will definitely become titans…]

Widely.

Before Lold could finish speaking, Kaits had created a new platform and moved his Marie to a safe place.

[…That’s your limit. Kaitsu Hiro.]
“Shut up.”

Kaitz spoke with an unprecedentedly violent expression.
A rare emotion on his face. ‘Living’ was present.

“Don’t think a few super giants can stop me.”
[Hot ha. It couldn’t possibly be like that. Even if we respect the true hero who is trying to stand up to the true devil. Looking down on me? You’re welcome. I just have a solution…]

Shuak!

With the sound of the wind, an intangible and Dre appeared behind Roldd.

Kaang! Kang!

The ‘Diamond Knight’ suddenly appeared behind Roldd and blocked the attack of the two.
The next moment, the powerful monster, even among the leader-level demons of the foul-smelling land, was torn apart by two slashes.

And.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!!

As soon as the sound of a hammer rings out, new parts are installed on the Diamond Knight’s torn body, blocking the two men.
The VR machine-like eye patch broke and the pupils were visible. It was dark.
The Diamond Knight was already dead.

It didn’t matter.
Intangible and Dre opened their arms for the next attack.
Kaits also bent his knees to leap next to Rolled.

And Rolled… Exactly. Snapped his fingers.

Go go go go.

Down there.
The ‘door’ opens.
An unidentified door leading down the 7th level, which was tightly closed with several layers of doors…

Fitting device…

Hwaaaaa!!

“?!?!?!” “Ugh…!!” “!”
Intangible. Kaits. Dre flinched.

That moment.
Everything was ‘released’.

Including all the buffs that the warrior party had in advance, prayer, ryunardo, manado,
Even the intangible, which was not affected by any force, was swayed.

Papapak!

The power that restrained the two users was cut off.

“Aaaaah!”

While one user was happy with the freedom, another user was shocked to hear something from ‘God.’

“Uh, huh? That thing down there… Is that?!”

Beyond the open door.
A sinister, sinister energy creeping up from below…!

“…!!”

A force so powerful that the enraged Kaits could not easily move.

“What the hell… Is that…! Rolled…! What on earth did you do in the land of odor…!!”

Kaits shouted at Roldd and then startled.
Rolled… Was down on all fours, muttering something.
Okay.
He, too, was consumed by an evil energy.
No. Not only that… The years seemed to have worn him down.

[Ugh, ugh, ah, ah… Chi, friend, yeo. Why did you leave me and go away… Why did you leave me…And go away…]

His eyes flashed on and off repeatedly, and his whole body trembled unusually.
Anyone could see that the situation was strange.

[Why did you leave me… I…]
“…Agitation?”

A song that can be recognized even when you are unconscious from the evil energy below.
Why did you leave me?
And.

[Then, with my production… All the rotten demons…! If I kill you…! You… Are coming back?!?!]

Wow!!

Rold returned to his normal tone and stood up.
His soul, reflected in Kaitzu’s eyes… Was very unstable.

And.

Widely.

The only one down there. Dre, who was leisurely standing next to Roldd without being affected by the energy of the abyss, laughed at him.

“You. To maintain consciousness, your soul was half-fused with Hest’s own Ryunar, right? I don’t know how much it was mixed, but I’m not sure if you are the Ten Hero himself?”

“Isn’t it right to call him a dead man?” Dre raises his sword.
And then… Rolled turned his head and glared at Dre.

Resentment.
Eyes full of love and hate.
Dre flinched.
It wasn’t just because of the eyes.
This is because the voice of the robot’s mouth, muttering ceaselessly… Was as clear as a human.
And the voice was full of resentment and longing.
Okay.
Just like Dre missed someone.

“Friend… Why… Did you… Leave us behind?”
“…”
“The washboard elf, like the idiotic elf she is, decided to endure for a long time with just one body.”

“The girl from the flower garden chose to assimilate into Ryunar.”

“The sorceress prepared to welcome you by creating a counterfeit daughter, assuming that she would be born to you.”

“The great warrior went crazy waiting for you…!!”

“That bitch prince made a contract with an extremely dirty divine beast!!”

“The white mask guy, the gloomy darkness guy, and the cold but warm little guy missed you all his life and then died!!”

“The only surviving demon who loved you and even made the heavenly drink sipped the drink alone!!”

“There is no way to know where the remnants of the goddess went!! No! They may have chosen to be forgotten!!”

“Me too!! I’ve been waiting for you!!”

With an evil voice, oil leaks out of the eyes.
It was like tears.

“Why did you leave us behind? Aren’t we your friends?”

Dre was in a daze and finally answered.

“…I’m not that guy…”
“Why! Why!! We loved you! Of course we thought you loved us too! Was that damn hometown more important than our friendship!! Was the person waiting for you more important than all of us combined?! !”

Dre stiffened at those words.

“You’ve always been like that!!! Always!! You chose the one precious thing! You left us like devoted friends, gogogogogogogogogo…!!”

Geek. Geek. The scrap metal robot, which was staggering dangerously, stopped, emitting smoke.
The robot soon raised its head… And looked very calm.

[…You showed disgrace. Okay…Kkkk. I can’t stand that energy…]

Rolled returned to normal and pointed his finger at Dre. Kyaang-!! Dre’s sword bounced with such force that he was pushed backwards.
Rold, who was swinging the hammer, looked surprised.

[…Is this a sword forged by the goddess? Indeed. Even my power won’t break it.]

But pushing away was enough.
In a short while, the paranormal giants surrounded Roldd, and he got up and looked down.

[The foul-smelling earth is the remnants of the true Demon King’s roar. Even so, it was an unremarkable place for those of us who saw the true Demon King in person, so we renovated it without much difficulty… But what’s down there is not what the true Demon King left behind.]

Rold’s eyes were drawn to the abyss of the open door below.

[Can you guess what kind of causal connection it is and what the being connected to that hole that only appeared in ‘this episode’ is?]

No one could answer.
Surprisingly, everyone except Dre was overwhelmed by the energy below and could not move.

[Let me give you some advice… Kaitsu Hiro. Intangible. Eight days. Garcini… Even you guys, if you try to attack that being, you will die right away. That thing over there… Is a being that could fight even the true Demon King.]

Chuck. Roldd points to Dolia with his finger.

[This is the final ordeal. Hey Dolia. Originally, the ordeal was to fight one-on-one with the portrait giant I created and win, and if the trial failed, 100 million portrait giants would automatically trample on the world.]

The ordeal was forcibly changed to require only Lolded’s approval, and it was not necessary for the person to have the main quest.
Although he is a hero, he is just a human and a dwarf. It succeeded in breaking the frame of dimensional will.
Instead of achieving such great achievements.

[If you fail the test. Although the portrait giant automatically advanced to the demon world, it received a penalty of disappearing after a certain period of time. Perhaps the Demon World can withstand that much time.]

Dolia’s eyes wavered.

[What choice will you make? This is a gamble for me too. Hey Dolia. However, it is better to discard it than to let it fall into the hands of unqualified people. It’s a long way back, but I have a second plan.]

So, whatever you choose, Rold said in a kind voice.

“You can just close her eyes and let go of her hand. In fact, that girl…Isn’t she even the girl you really love?”

Dolia gritted her teeth at those words.
The invitation… Is really cruel.
If it weren’t for those words… I would have been able to let go of Lulua’s pretty hand somehow.
Okay. The prince loves Rald, not Lulua.
In the midst of this, I love the girl who only looks ahead and runs to protect Dre without looking at herself at all.

Is it because of her guilt about Lulua that she has no choice but to give up on her dream?

“Prince.”

Lulua called him carefully.
The prince lowered his gaze.

“…If it becomes the prince’s dream, that’s fine.”

Warble.
Contrary to words, a face that does not want to be abandoned. Trembling eyes.
Until now… A kind woman who listened to Prince Dolia’s insistence.

‘Ah…’

How could you abandon a woman like this?

That. She is not a human, but an animal worse than a dog.

Okay…

“Lulua.”

It’s a beast.
Even unrelated people can be killed.

“Lulu, ah.”

Even tears are a luxury.
Dolia forcibly bit her lip, held back her tears, and smiled sweetly.

“Please don’t forgive me.”
“…I already forgave you.”

Widely.

Dolia let go of Lulua’s hand.
Everyone looks at Lulua in shock.

If you fall down there…Even Kaitsu doesn’t know what will happen.
There is no floating magic…!
There is something down there in the abyss that can subdue everyone with just its energy.
Not only Lulua but also the one who threw herself to save her will definitely die.

The moment Rold started laughing like crazy.

Whiik!!

Dre threw himself after Lulua without any hesitation.

[…

Rolled Dew, who had been staring blankly at that scene as if he were mesmerized, forced the corners of his mouth to raise.

[Congratulations. Dolia Daraji.]

Wooooow.

The portrait giant’s hand placed him on his palm and lifted him up in front of Roldd.
He took the divine crown in his hand and placed it on Prince Aria’s head.

[You are a giant.]
“…I will honor your feat, great hero.”

Tiring!!

[Main quest ‘Hest’ failed!!]
[The penalty frees the Paranormal Giant!]
[Due to the penalty, ‘Legendary Giant Replica’ and ‘Created Colossus’ will be released!]

Quaaaaa…

A disturbing sound.
Rius looked in the direction where the sound was coming from.
That place… That small building with a huge gear wheel.

Warrrr!

The building collapsed and huge cogwheels appeared.

It rattled. Rattle rattle rattle!!
Wow!

The gears are spinning wildly.

Buuuuung!
A feeling of floating.

“…Oh my god.”

A true warrior with inhuman senses noticed what was happening and was astonished.
The land of stench.
No. All of the sacred places.
Emerging from the ‘ground’… Into the human world…!!
That huge gear wheel was a device that brought the sacred site, which was located close to the underground, to the ground.

Coo coo coo coo coo!

The scaffolding on which the warrior party was standing collapsed, and Rold and Prince Dolia rose upward.

Buuuuung!!

The hero and the prince eventually soared to the sky above the wall.

Coo coo coo coo coo!

“Let’s begin.”

Dolia, looking down from heaven to earth, placed both hands on her crown.

Coogung-

Hest’s Ryunar emanating from the crown.
Ryunar was shocked, and the wave spread to distant places.

And the wave… The sleeping beings who received the command wake up.

Rumbling!
Rumbling!

The entire sacred site rose upward.
As Roldd had arranged, the sacred place buried deep in the ground will be located higher than any other land.

Ground. People’s panicked voices and screams can be heard here and there.
Everyone fell into panic at the sudden appearance of a huge land.
Ignoring all that… The dwarves’ sacred place, the barrier rose all the way to the ground of the human world.
And.

Creep! Kwazizig!
Fuuuuu!!

There is a crack in the wall of the sacred site that was once an iron fortress.
And. It collapses helplessly.

First, the barrier named ‘Rolled’ in ‘Area 1’, where the King and the Hest family were located, cracked and collapsed.

Rumbling…

Amidst the collapsing rubble and dust cloud… Roaring. Smoke rose like red flames.
A huge barrier covering a large area of ​​the sacred site falls like dominoes, and a huge giant appears from within.

Portrait giants.

The number increases endlessly: 100, 200, 300… 1000, 2000, 10000.
All these giants. He is a subject of the Giant God.

“…Ah.”

This. Is it strength?
Prince Dolia closed his eyes and was delighted that he could make his wish come true.

The secret wish to destroy the demons, which she had sworn since the day her mother died.

Lold is on the ground, in that far away place. I saw the direction of the demon world.
And muttered the words which his friend had often said, and which had led him to conceive this plan.

“I’ll beat you.”

Flashing. Rolled’s eyes glowed.

“Not a single one left behind.”
