Roaring!

The five-horned rhinos at the front let out a massive roar and charged, smashing through the giants on the left flank.

Their strength was such that not even the giants, with their incomparable might, could withstand it.

"Don't let them break through! Block them at all costs!"

The Utekan tribe chiefs, commanding the front lines, watched in dismay and shouted desperately.

In response, the giant warriors tried to form a second line of defense against the rhinos, but, kekeke!

Frost wolves ridden by Lord Goblins appeared from behind the rhinos, starting to cut through the giants.

"Screams!"

"What, what! How are these goblins so strong... Aaah!"

As if that wasn't enough, suddenly, flying monsters filled the sky, dropping huge boulders indiscriminately onto the giant's ranks.

The power of their attack was comparable to that of a level 8 mage casting a large-scale area spell.

The giants, who were almost completely unprepared for aerial attacks, were helpless against it.

Screaming and chaos!

During this, the main force, comprised of drakes and other superior monsters, arrived and began to mercilessly slaughter the giants.

This caused the already shaky front line of the Utekan side to collapse in an instant.

"...This should be enough."

Watching the increasingly tilted battlefield from behind, the Monster King Horrible, who did not participate in the battle, muttered to himself.

His expression was not good.CHeCk for new stories at novelhall.com the rampage in the giant horde to attacking the giants with red horned helmets now.

None of it was his own will.

After the battle at the Steel Fortress, Horrible had his 'real heart' taken by Zion, and since then, he had no choice but to reluctantly follow Zion's orders.

"Well, it's not all bad."

After nearly dying at the hands of Zion in the Achilles Basin and arriving at this horde, Horrible found himself in a much changed state.

Not just in terms of strength, but also in the number of monsters he could control, tactics, strategy, and even his mental maturity.

Everything had improved to an incomparable degree, and he was still growing.

It was unbelievable progress made in less than a month.

"If only I wasn't under his control, things would have been better."

Thinking this, Horrible shook his head and looked at the rapidly dwindling Utekan giants, clicking his tongue.

"Those poor things. They've ended up as his enemies."

The battle between the two sides was still fiercely ongoing, but Horrible spoke as if he already knew the outcome.

It's hard to imagine him dying since he holds my 'real heart'.

Just thinking about that time still makes Horrible tremble.

Then,

----------------!

A burst of white light from the center of the battlefield enveloped the surroundings, followed by rising darkness that caught Horrible's eye.

"Has it begun?"

Recognizing the darkness as Zion's, his eyes sparkled.

---

Prince Utekan Agnes.

His power was very special from a young age.

His cry at birth made a nearby doctor collapse, and before he could even walk, he was breaking trees with his bare hands.

Divine Strength.

A power that seemed to have been bestowed by the heavens.

Utekan actively used this power to refine his skills and applied his innate talent to become unusually strong, almost rivaling the 'Seven Heavens,' known as the strongest in the empire.

Thus, even though Zion had achieved the fourth level of Dark Star, under normal circumstances, he would not be able to compete but...

Shrrrr!

'Now, it's possible.'

The Giant Slayer, Gigapherses.

A weapon that shows mythic-level performance specifically against giants was already in Zion's hands.

The effect of Gigapherses was simple.

It limited the abilities of the targeted giant to a certain level and used any power beyond that to gradually destroy the giant from within.

This ability was fully effective even against the half-breed Utekan.

'No matter how much the spirit is demonic, as long as the body being used is a giant, it can't be avoided.'

Whoosh!

Amplified by the eclipse, the soul-consuming flames fiercely burned.

Simultaneously, Zion's eyes, stained black, began to see the shards' weaknesses as dots and lines.

Crack!

The black trails created by the consecutive swings of Eclaxia hit those weaknesses precisely, without a single error.

Boom!

The fragments of light, unable to reach Zion, caused a massive explosion in the air.

Breaking through the explosion in one go, Zion's form appeared right in front of Utekan.

"Zion, you...!"

"You won't have time to be surprised."

Facing Utekan's shaky gaze, Zion smiled slyly and swung Eclaxia, unleashing a storm-like flurry of attacks.

Crash!

The unimaginable clash began.

"..."

From a distance, Captan watched the battle with a blank expression.

There was no opening for him to intervene.

In fact, he could hardly understand how the battle was progressing.

Crack, crash!

All he could see were the flashing lights, waves of light, and explosively rising darkness.

Even that was enough for him to realize the battle was at a level far beyond what he could emulate, especially captivated by glimpses of Zion's movements.

Zion seemed to be swinging his sword in directions completely unrelated to the battle, yet every swing precisely met the opponent's attack.

It was as if he was foreseeing dozens of moves ahead.

To display such movements against Utekan, already one of the strongest within the imperial walls, how profound must Zion's skills be?

"No, this is beyond the realm of skill."

Something that transcends even skill.

Even though Utekan's power was limited by Gigapherses, that only applied to the realm of strength, not skill.

The sight was awe-inspiring enough to evoke a sense of reverence.

'Could I ever reach that level?'

Captan, clutching his fist, thought this with a slowly igniting flame of desire in his eyes.

Then,

"Aaaaah!"

Perhaps deciding he could no longer afford to waste time as the chains continued to constrict and limit his power, Utekan let out a roar, almost like a scream, and then suddenly,

Zion's body, which had stopped in place, began to be pressed down as if gravity had increased tenfold.

Utekan, with veins bulging from exertion, had suppressed the very space Zion was in.

Together with this, boom!

Utekan, wrapped in the divine power of the sun-like Divine Wrath, rushed towards Zion with insane speed, leaving a trail of flames behind him.

Whoosh!

Soon, those flames of Divine Wrath gathered into Utekan's fist, starting to form a small sun.

Heavenly Star Drill.

A strike from a giant that once obliterated an entire fortress.

That strike was now being recreated here, aimed at Zion.

"Prince Zion!"

Lucas, witnessing the sudden turn of events, urgently shouted and started running towards Zion.

Dangerous.

His lord could not move, and the power in Utekan's fist, bearing down on him, was terrifyingly malignant.

'I must block it...!'

But Utekan was already launching his sun-infused punch directly at Zion.

The intense killing intent and exhilaration in Utekan's eyes.

And just as his sun was about to completely obliterate the bound Zion,

Lucas, Captan, and everyone around could see it.

Partial eclipse.

The second stage of soul-consuming amplification.

Armor of the Lost Souls.

The darkness wrapping around Zion formed a complete armor, and then, crack!

A chilling black light burst forth, erasing the bindings in an instant, followed by,

--------!

The scene where even Utekan's sun was completely engulfed.
