176 176.

Above the icebergs, Bellogs and Dwarves open their eyes.

I could see them standing in the snow in their wool clothes.

The destruction of nature.

The earth shakes and the iceberg breaks apart with an earthquake.

The snow that was piled up was pouring out, and it was snowing.

You see dark, enormous shadows through the mountains.

Jotun.

The apocalypse has begun its march.

“Belock, it's them. It's them!”

A dwarf points at the bottom of the mountain with his trembling finger.

“I can't believe you're in these mountains! ”

The yotoons had no intention of crossing the mountains.

He was moving forward, crushing hundreds or thousands of times his body, as if he were blocking anything.

‘How ignorant... ’

Bellogue is dead.

The mountain range collapses.

Every time I punched, my progress changed.

The yotoons sigh heavily and flash their eyes.

It's not just going one way.

They're scattering all over the place, destroying the surrounding mountains.

Beyond the mountains, once they reach the plain, they will advance at tremendous speed.

A dwarf shouts out in a hurry.

“Bellogue!”

“... I know. The closest area to here is Duke Ariana. Get word to them now. There should be a scorpion nearby. Ask them for help. ”

“Oh, okay. ”

A dwarf plunges into a frenzy.

Running around in a small body like Groundhopper won't tell us how long it will take to reach Duc Ariana.

It was a mistake to release the cold energy of the mountains on purpose because I couldn't handle it.

I hope we're not too late to the nearest outpost.

“The apocalypse was true. ”

“Captain, what are you going to do? It was His Holiness' order. We're a year behind schedule. ”

As the Holy Father had not given much notice, I waited to make perfect armor as a bellogue.

But it's too late.

Bellogue opens his mouth with moxa.

“Moreover, Your Holiness, King Allen Olfolds has been missing for over a year. ”

A year ago, the Holy Father Allen suddenly disappeared.

It was Marquis Hans Gerrami who tipped them off.

Charlotte, who was an escort, also accepted the fact.

Temporarily placed on behalf of the Crown Prince.

Despite the disappearance of the Holy See, the Holy See did not fall into confusion.

It's because of what Holy Father Allen prepared in advance.

Bellogue grips his teeth.

“It's too late. I can't rely on the Grand Duke anymore. ”

I can't help it.

Refine weapons with their own strength.

But how? ’

The Holy Father entrusted Bellogue with three pieces of armor.

One is a staff, one is a grimoire, and one is a Warhammer.

How do I refine them into spears?

“Ten days. In it I make the armor the Holy Father commanded me. ”

It will take time for these yotoons to break through the mountains.

A short-term Refining can save as much armor as possible for a Dwarf.

Bellogue hurries to the armored hut.

When I opened the door, I saw the Grand Duke.

Armor lies before him.

Damn it!

Bellogue curses.

I blamed the Grand Duke for nothing.

‘Who are you blaming? It's my own fault for relying on it. ’

Bellogue blames himself.

With the Grand Duke, I thought I could make perfect armor that would never be found in this world again, but I relied on my hopes too much.

“I'm sorry, Grand Duke. I don't rely on you anymore. ”

Bellogue reaches for his armor.

“I'll try something... ”

At that moment, the Grand Duke grabbed Bellogue's wrist.

Suddenly, the pain came as if my wrist were twisting.

As Bellogue groans and turns his head, he gives you a goose bump and a goose bump.

“Don't touch my armor, Bellogue. ”

He stares at Bellogue with a deep, frenzied look.

The other Dwarves have frozen publicly.

“Now, you...? ”

As Bellogue shivers, Grand Duke Avaldi releases his hand.

“Get lost. You're in the way. ”

“What, what? ”

“Your skills interfere. My armor hurts.”

“... what are you trying to do, Grand Duke? ”

The Grand Duke grabbed the armor.

Then I moved to the basement in the corner of the cabin.

“I'll do whatever you want. ”

Does that mean...?

When Bellogue was happy, the Grand Duke said.

“But don't get in the way, don't get too close. I get in the way.”

Bellogue could not deny the Grand Duke's words.

It's true.

Bellogue and his associates are not nearly as keen as the Grand Duke's skills.

But there is no turning back.

Dwarves specialize in the use of metallurgy in a short period of time, whereas humans specialize in the refining of metals.

It's too late to give the Grand Duke armor.

Before Belloq could say anything, Avaldi went down to the basement and stopped.

“Don't worry. ”

The blood in the Grand Duke's forehead twitches.

“It will only take two days. ”

Avaldi turns around and looks at the bellogue.

“Do you think I haven't learned the Refining Skills and Alchemy of Dwarves? ”

“It didn't even take me three days to make armor for Amon. ”

Bellogue smiles awkwardly, sweating coldly.

Oh, my God, is the legend true?

A blacksmith who made the Commander King's armor.

And three days?

It was the best time to keep the armor safe.

‘This completely destroys a Dwarf's pride. ’

Bellogue empowers his fist.

I'm angry, but I have to leave it to him.

“... I beg of you. ”

Bellogs and dwarves leave the hut as if they were driven out.

Arriving at the forge in the basement, Avaldi looks down at the staff, the grimoire, and the three armor.

And then I remembered.

Blendmir's betrayal.

He was defeated by giants, even with his spear in his hand.

It meant that even the spear could not defeat the giants.

Even God was afraid of Giants.

Yes, of course.

‘Even a giant like that will make a surpassing armor. ’

His body swells.

Red, bumpy muscles settle in, and horns rise from the head.

‘The perfect armor for my life. ’

Avaldi grabs the horn with his right hand and breaks it.

Cut out his chest with his left hand and take out his heart.

There's a fire in the horns.

The heart has been burning with magic for thousands of years.

"I will give my soul to make a masterpiece. ”

Avaldi starts hammering towards three armor pieces.

* *

Hans is in a hurry.

It has now been five years.

I only knew that the time of the Giants' invasion was after five years, and I didn't know when, where, and how to invade it.

Only the first is Franz Kingdom.

‘Is the Holy Father still in the maze? ’

Charlotte soon led an army to Franz Kingdom.

It's because the Holy Father Allen gave the order a year later.

Hans eventually goes down to the underground labyrinth with a mojo.

‘It might get in the way. ’

But there is no way.

‘No matter how strong the training is, it's an unusual way. ’

The anarchist has become stronger against the Vampire.

Magical attacks devastate the body and, as healed by sexual strength, develop bones and muscles more than ever before.

There was a reason why the Great Depression grew up in just a few decades and was able to deal with the Vampires who lived for hundreds of years.

"Among them, Celt and Earl Charlotte are unique cases. ’

My whole body survived being torn apart by magic.

And without using his sexual strength, he became superhuman, able to hunt vampires by pure strength alone.

Allen also wanted such flesh.

That's why he put himself on the table.

‘The vampire to deal with is gone, but it's too reckless. ’

After the Vampire War, the opposition is lost.

We can no longer grow, so we want it to be artificially strong.

Hans reaches the maze.

You manipulated a large blocked wall.

The runes glow and the walls are pushed and the room is visible.

“ …? "

Bloody Golemman stands there.

There was no allen in Bloody Golem's body.

“Where is the Holy Father...? ”

Hans' muttering, as Bloody Golem points to the entrance where Hans stands with his finger.

Hans looks back, looking at the exit out of the maze.

The warp jeans Hans engraved on them.

It was a bridge to Franz Kingdom.

Alan has already been out of the maze for a long time.

* *

Five years after Palmer.

The Kingdom of Franz was once so peaceful.

Since Palmer, the vampire incident has been minimal, so many travelers, or merchants, have visited Ariana territory.

“Is it training again today? ”

Urban streets.

A lot of people walked out onto the market street.

The soldiers yawned for a long time.

Grab your gear, form a line, and patrol.

However, the soldiers vomited a complaint.

“Isn't that strange? I can't believe you've been training so hard lately. ”

“It's mostly siege weapons applications, like dealing with ogre-sized monsters. And evacuation training for the people."

“Isn't the rumor true? I hear it's the end of the world these days. It's chaotic even in other countries. The end is coming. ”

The soldiers were chatting silently.

After a while, I burst into laughter.

“Haha! That's funny. If the Apocalypse really comes, I'll lose the business in my hands! ”

A man covered in white robes passed by such soldiers.

Isn't that a Musket? ”

One of the soldiers points at the man.

“Yeah, that's pretty long, too. ”

A 2m long musket. I also saw a man carrying a fairly large musket.

“Are you a clergyman of the Holy See? ”

“Oh, the Musket Squad? ”

“Haha, wasn't the Musketman army just a stick? I heard you can't shoot unless you're doing something about it. Even the Crown Prince has been missing for over a year.... ”

“Watch your mouth, it's an imperial slander. ”

The soldiers are silent.

I glanced at the man, and when the man looked at them, he was stunned and stiffened.

The opponent was a priest of the Palace of the Pantheon, one of the six great powers of the Pantheon if it were a Musket unit.

Their individuals are more powerful than the chaotic nobles.

“Ah, that, patrol, patrol! ”

As the soldiers flee, they leave in a hurry.

The man looks behind them and looks back.

He tilts his head.

In front of the bell tower, the children raised their heads in an awkward manner.

“Guys, what are you doing here? ”

The man approached and asked the children.

The children pointed to the sky with their fingers.

“Balloons.”

“Balloons?”

The man raises his head.

In the morning, the bell tower was covered with balloons.

“My mother gave it to me as a gift. ”

Children are crying.

“... there are balloons in this world. ”

Sometimes I felt like I had seen it at a festival.

The man thought so and said to the children,

“Why don't you go get it? ”

“But the door is closed. ”

I looked at the entrance of the bell tower, which the boy said.

The door is closed with a big lock.

I frowned at him.

“Why are you doing this? ”

“They often go up and play with the bells.... ”

The boy nodded as if he understood some of what the children said.

The Town Bell Tower is frequently used for emergency notification purposes.

The bell rings because of a monster raid, war, etc.

But when the children played around a lot, the citizens would complain. Eventually, he blocked the door leading up to the bell tower.

“But it won't ring in case of an emergency. ”

The man scratched his head.

I took my eyes off the nearby guard post and understood.

Do I need your permission to open the door?

“Why don't you take permission? ”

“The guard was sleeping. ”

“... so peaceful. ”

When the man smiled awkwardly and said, the children laughed at Bashi.

The man stroked the children's heads.

I reached for the bell tower door.

You grip the lock and put pressure on your hand.

A strap.

The lock bends and breaks.

The children opened their eyes as if they were surprised.

The man was also fascinated for a moment.

He looks at his hand and squeezes and straightens.

“I feel like a superhero. ”

“A superhero? ”

The children tilted their heads.

“It's nothing. Let's stop by and get out of here. We'll pay for some repairs. ”

The man opens the door and climbs up the steps of the bell tower.

Children also ride with them.

Arriving at the top, the man pulls the thread around the balloon with a musket.

Return the balloon to the children.

“Here you go. ”

“Thank you!”

The man smiled.

One of the children looks out from the bell tower.

And he pulls on the inside of the man's robe.

“Mister.”

“... I'm not old enough to be called uncle. ”

When the man looked at the child, he pointed his finger outside.

“What's that? ”

The direction your child was pointing.

The man turns his head.

His face hardens.

A cloud of dust rises over the grasslands beyond Duc Ariana.

Something big is coming.

Human shapes. But not human.

Giants as small as 8 meters and as big as 15 meters.

They carry large stones that appear to be more than half of their body.

“Help me, help me! ”

There is a Skirmisher running on horseback like a messenger in front of those giants.

However, I was trampled under the feet of Giants for a short time.

They said they didn't have the maneuverability to outrun the giants.

Soldiers rumble as if they saw signs of anomalies above the Watchtower.

The man's eyes curl up on the bell tower.

And I looked around.

Bell tower, quiet and peaceful town.

The bell is not ringing.

In [Jersey], what Serran Ariana saw was the destruction that began with a bell ringing.

And the bell tower that alerted the man came up.

“Ah…. I see.”

The man notices something on his forehead.

“Oh my God, is this what the gods want? You said it was an inevitable fate, but I feel bad because it fits. I told you to stay out of it, but this is the opposite, isn't it? ”

Destiny must come.

Serran would have been a man in the vision as well.

I just didn't see her.

“I see. Me. ”

The man grabbed the rope that was attached to the bell.

“It was a signal. ”

Pull hard.

Ding-! P-!

The bell rings.

The children were surprised and blocked their ears.

The man looks at the running giants.

This proved to be true.

Serran's prophecy.

What the gods want.

It is.

“Saving the Franz royal family. ”

The man, Allen Olfolds, has thrown off the robe.
