Dirt scattered in all directions along with the broken head of the giant.

As the dirt dispersed in all directions poured over Hajoon's entire body, obscuring his vision, the voice of the foe whispered in Hajoon's ears.

[Human who inherited the energy of Horton, remember. You cannot kill me with the power of destruction.]

The voice sounded ominously chant-like.

As his last words were heard, the sand in all directions settled to the ground.

[Just like Horton did back then.......]

The dust and sand cleared, and visibility was restored.

At that moment, with a crackling noise, a red system window appeared before Hajoon.

[Main quest recovery is complete.]

[Main Quest]

Eligible quest character: Kim Hajoon (Liber Laphilton Phil Ehrman)

Description: The Giant King 'Gigantmakia' incites the War of Destruction. Win the War of the Kings.

(72:00:00)

Failure: Death

Suddenly, the main quest notification was restored.

And added to that, the first quest that appeared was a red quest.

A quest that only requires risking one's life, with no rewards.

Hajoon's brows furrowed.

However, in another sense, he thought it was obvious that if he lost the fight with that thing, he would die regardless of the quest's failure reward.

The quest just indirectly informed him of that.

‘More importantly, that count is.......’

Hajoon's gaze shifted to the count on the quest window.

(71:59:58)

The numbers started to decrease.

It seemed to be a countdown to when the war would start.

If 71 hours meant 3 days were left, it was a countdown indicating the time when that thing would move.

‘What is he planning to do?’

The war mentioned by that thing didn't sound like a simple duel.

"It’s......"

Just then, someone called out to him, and he turned his head.

Shaking off the sand from his body, Hajoon approached Andre and Halz Matildon.

“Is it over?”

Andre asked cautiously towards Hajoon.

For now, Hajoon nodded and said,

“Let's go up for now.”

“Ah! I see.”

Understanding Hajoon's words, he immediately nodded.

Hajoon's 'stop' had somehow prevented the tower's collapse, but the tower was still in a precarious state.

Immediately, a mage affiliated with the tower opened a gate, and Hajoon, Andre, Halz, and other mages who were sealing the giant passed through the gate, escaping the underground to come outside the tower.

The condition of the tower seen from outside was dire.

The tower, consisting of 100 floors, had nearly 50 floors riddled with cracks.

However, thanks to Hajoon's stop and the quick response of the mages waiting outside the tower, it seemed they were able to stop the damage at the 50th floor.

“Thank you, Irregular.”Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

At that moment, Halz Matildon respectfully bowed his head towards Hajoon.

"Thanks to you, we were able to prevent the worst-case scenario of the tower collapsing."

The collapse of the mage tower, larger than any building, would have resulted in numerous casualties.

Of course, it was designed with self-repair magic in anticipation of such situations, but Halz Matildon probably hadn't anticipated this crisis of collapse.

The power of the giant was beyond imagination.

Its magic alone was enough to destroy the mage tower.

She, having witnessed the scene firsthand, would understand better than anyone.

"It's fortunate that the magical beast is dead."

That was how Halz Matildon viewed the existence of the giant.

An entity capable of annihilating America on its own.

Without the Irregular, there would have been no way to kill such a being.

However.

Hajoon shook his head at her words.

"It's still alive."

At those words, Andre and Halz Matildon's eyes widened.

Andre asked in a shocked voice towards Hajoon.

"Alive? What do you mean-"

But Andre's words were cut off.

Drrring- Drrring-

The sudden sound of a ringing bell.

A call came through on Andre's phone.

But the same was true for Hajoon.

Their phones began to ring simultaneously.

Anticipating something bad, Hajoon immediately answered the call.

The call was from Kim Jeongyong, the president of the Korean Hero Association.

-Student Hajoon!

As a cry came through the phone, Hajoon lifted his head to look at the sky.

-An unknown magic circle has appeared above Seoul...

The moment those words were heard, a huge magic circle manifested and revealed itself in the sky over New York.

Not to rest, of course, but because he had business with Lain at home.

When he arrived in front of the house after stopping time, Lain was waiting for him in front of the house.

Hajoon approached her after releasing the time stop.

"You're here now."

She opened her mouth as soon as she saw Hajoon.

At that moment, her eyes transformed into dragon eyes.

At some point, Lain, who had entrusted her body to Leanon, spoke.

[You killed the King of Humans.]

Hajoon nodded at her statement.

Hajoon said to her,

"You remember the promise, right?"

[I've already received permission from Lain.]

At that moment, the space above her head tore open.

A giant eye appeared through the torn space.

A magic far greater than anything seen before flowed from beyond the torn space.

King Leanon of the dragons.

With those giant eyes, Leanon continued,

[As promised, I will help you.]

The force emanating from beyond the torn space was wildly ferocious, incomparable to the past.

It seemed as if the suppressed humiliation was bursting out with magic in anger.

[King Hermorus of the elves, I will take care of him.]

Hajoon felt reassured by the statement that he would take on the other.

This way, Hajoon could fully concentrate on killing the Giant King.

[The Giant King is not an easy opponent, Irregular.]

"Yes, I know."

Hajoon nodded at the statement.

He already knew about the being's power from Philaten.

Leanon's eyes, which had been watching Hajoon, gently closed.

With the closing of his eyes, the torn space was restored.

[I wish you good luck.]

With those final words, the dragon eyes disappeared, and Lain regained consciousness.

Lain blankly stared at Hajoon for a moment.

"I'll be going now."

As Lain, who had been blankly staring, turned to leave with those words, suddenly the gate opened, and Elaine hurriedly approached Lain.

"Ah! Sister!"

"Hey, hey, wait a minute."

Irian, who came out with her, grabbed Elaine's clothes, trying to stop her.

Then, seeing Hajoon, Irian urgently shouted towards him.

"Hey! Stop her for a second!"

Elaine, for her part, just waved her hand in greeting.

"Sister! Come again later!"

Hajoon's face crumpled at her words.

What, inviting herself over again as if it was up to her...

But Lain, for her part, just showed a pleased smile and nodded.

"Sure."

With those words, dragon wings sprouted from Lain's back.

Leaping up, Lain flew into the sky and disappeared into the distance.

After she vanished, Hajoon looked at Elaine for a moment.

Wondering what had happened in just one day to become friendly with a criminal...

"Surely you're not really coming back, right?"

"..."

Ignoring Irian's anxious gaze, Hajoon, puzzled, turned his head towards Elaine and spoke.

"Elaine."

"Hmm?"

"She's a vicious criminal."

He said it, thinking she might have become friends with the criminal without knowing her true nature.

However, to his surprise, Elaine nodded calmly.

"Yes, I know."

This left Hajoon even more dumbfounded.

Knowing that, why would she still become friends with her?

Could it be that my sister aspires to be a criminal?

Just when he was having such thoughts, Elaine explained.

"But she hasn't killed anyone, and she only stole things. And now she's reflecting and has turned herself in."

"Who told you that?"

"Sister Lain."

At that, Hajoon's face became somewhat disapproving.

It's true she turned herself in, but whether she's reflecting is another matter.

And the things she stole were national treasures of the United States...

It's also hard to believe that she hasn't killed anyone.

After all, she was the main villain targeting Liam in the game.

Hajoon's gaze then shifted to Irian, standing next to Elaine.

What exactly was he doing while his sister was becoming friends with her...

"So, what, you want me to die instead?"

Irian retorted, feeling unjustly accused.
