Chapter 241:
A fist as big as a house filled my vision.
I quickly flew back to dodge it.
It didn’t even graze me, let alone hit me. But I felt a sting on my skin from the force that flowed through the air.Caraculiambro’s fist was that huge and powerful.
And he had four arms that shot out fists at an incredible speed.
As I dodged one fist, I saw in my eyes a barrage of countless fists flying towards me, leaving behind trails of afterimages.
“Crazy.”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground where the fist landed shattered into pieces.
The earth shook and cracked, and spiderweb-like fissures spread in all directions, scattering debris everywhere. Clouds of dust rose up, and the shockwaves from the fists blew them away.
The process repeated itself.
Even if dozens of giants threw rocks at the same time, it wouldn’t be like this.
It was no different from a concentrated meteor shower in a narrow area.
Caraculiambro was a monster that could cause a natural disaster by himself.
“He survived that?”
The dust cleared and revealed the scene. I stood up with my shield in hand.
In the storm of force that should have pulverized any human’s body without leaving a trace, that human had only some slight tears in his clothes, but he was unscathed.
“Phew. That was close. I almost died.”
However, contrary to his appearance, my condition was not that good.
If it wasn’t for the enhanced defense of Baekryeon that rose with my Divine Spirit, and if I didn’t wrap myself with the story of the Untrained Knight and engrave its mark on my body.
I would have been the one to fall.
[Are you okay?]
‘Not at all.’
I answered Baekryeon and threw off the clothes I was wearing.
The travel clothes I wore as Sancho were nothing but rags now, so there was no need to keep wearing them.
“Not bad, human. To survive in that attack.”
I didn’t answer.
Instead, I turned Baekryeon back into a sword shape and held it in my left hand, and held Baekryeonk in my right hand.
Caraculiambro met my eyes that didn’t lose their will and smiled with his yellow teeth.
“Not bad indeed.”
Caraculiambro winked at the giants behind him.
The giants moved busily and surrounded me.
“I don’t intend to fight you fair and square.”Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
It was already a tough task to fight Caraculiambro alone. But with his subordinate giants added to the mix, the situation reached the brink of despair.
‘The knight is...’
My eyes looked over Caraculiambro’s shoulder, at the spire high above.
There, a fierce battle was taking place between Don Quixote on Rocinante and the Grand Mage Preston.
The knight’s eyes that dodged and broke the magic and charged towards the mage had no sign of giving up.
Seeing that, I pointed my left sword at Caraculiambro.
Sigh. Phew.
I took a breath and smiled provocatively.
“Bring it on.”
Snap!
A vein popped up on Caraculiambro’s head.
“Fine. Then I’ll grant your wish. Hit him.”
Kwaaaaaa!!
At Caraculiambro’s command, the giants surrounding me roared and rushed at me.
The sight of giants over 10m tall running at me in a group was like a tidal wave of flesh.
I lowered my posture and steadied my breath as I pulled up my text.
Black letters floated above my body and completed a mask on my face.
A black devil-shaped mask with horns. Above it, a pair of red eyes glowed.
‘The giants are coming from all directions: front, back, left, and right. There is no space to escape.’
If I simply collided with them head-on, I would be pushed back. They had enough numbers to crush me flat.
‘So, before they surround me, I’ll strike first.’
I moved.
I kicked off the ground and ran towards the first giant that came at me.
The distance between us narrowed in an instant.
My left hand thrust forward.
The white blade of Baekryeon emitted light and left behind a faint afterimage as it disappeared.
When it returned to its original shape, the upper half of the giant facing me was sliced apart and scattered.
Through the falling giant’s corpse, I saw fear in the eyes of the giant following behind.
In his large pupil, there was a devil with black energy covering his whole body and red eyes shining.
‘Focus. Focus.’
I calmed my mind as I saw that.
“You stupid bastards! What are you doing! He’s alone! Push him with numbers!”
Caraculiambro shouted at that frustrating sight.
He didn’t just talk, but pushed away the giants himself and ran towards Yu-hyun as if he would finish him off himself.
Seeing their king take the lead, the giants regained their courage.
The giants who followed Caraculiambro roared again.
“Kill him!”
Caraculiambro threw a punch.
At the same time, Yu-hyun’s thrust unfolded.
As soon as their fist and harpoon collided, a dazzling flash burst out and a huge shock engulfed everything around them.
The air was pushed out in a dome shape by the shock wave, and then wind rushed back into the vacuumed space, forming a whirlwind for a moment.
Caraculiambro frowned at the stinging pain he felt in his fist.
There was a scar on his fist.
Surely, his power wasn’t this much until a while ago.
Could it be, he became stronger during the fight?
“How dare you!”
Caraculiambros clenched his fists with his two arms and slammed them down.
Kwaaang!
The ground within a radius of 100m from Caraculiambros cracked like a spider web, and the unstable terrain sank or erupted.
A cloud of dust soared high.
In the scene that looked like a large bomb had dropped, Yu-hyun was no longer there.
Caraculiambros’s pupils chased after Yu-hyun’s traces. A red line drawn in the air. It was clear that it was the trajectory of Yu-hyun’s movement.
‘Where is he? Where is he!’
If he only followed the traces, finding Yu-hyun would not be a problem.
However, as he rolled his eyes quickly and chased after the red afterimage, Caraculiambros felt something strange.
Caraculiambros realized too late that his surroundings were full of red lines.
‘When did he do this?’
He couldn’t see the end of the traces.
He became stronger after putting on the mask. No, he was getting faster and faster since then.
Now he couldn’t even see Yu-hyun’s traces, but Caraculiambros could feel it.
He was roaming around at a tremendous speed, looking for his gaps.
Chwak!
Caraculiambros frowned at the wound engraved on his cheek. If he hadn’t seen it and reflexively turned his head, a huge wound would have crossed his entire face.
“Lord Prieston!”
It would be disadvantageous to fight like this.
Caraculiambros, who made that judgment, pulled back his body and shouted the name of the mage Prieston. At that moment, lightning fell from the sky and swept through the surrounding area.
‘This is bad.’
Yu-hyun realized that the power of the lightning was extraordinary and retreated. Caraculiambros shouted with a flushed face.
“Lord Prieston! You came to help!”
“Shut up. Caraculiambros.”
Prieston, who slowly descended from the air, looked fine even though he had fought fiercely with Don Quixote.
‘No, he’s not fine.’
Prieston was also quite exhausted. His robe was stained with traces of being cut, and even blood was flowing from his shoulder.
‘What about the knight?’
As Yu-hyun hurriedly looked for Don Quixote, a white flash followed Prieston’s back and flew into the air and stood next to Yu-hyun.
It was Don Quixote riding Rocinante. His condition was not very good either. His armor was so damaged that it was hard to find a clean spot, and his breathing was quite fast.
“Sancho. Are you okay?”
“Yes. I’m still bearable, but how about you, sir?”
“Huh. This is nothing to me, the great knight Don Quixote. I am also the one who will defeat those wicked mage and giant. And to save my beautiful and mysterious woman, Dulcinea, who is suffering in that spire...”
“Can’t you just say it short?”
“Are you talking nonsense because it’s almost over?”
“If I wanted to talk nonsense, I would have done it sooner. You know that, right?”
“I’m sorry.”
Rocinante, who heard their pointless conversation, rolled his eyes and snorted softly.
“I see. Rocinante also tells us to focus on the enemy in front of us.”
“We don’t have much left. We just have to knock down those two monsters.”
“That’s right.”
“So let’s go. To end this adventure.”
Although it was an adventure they didn’t want to end.
At least at this moment, fighting with this man was an undeniable truth.
Even if in the distant future this memory becomes one of the memories,
I won’t forget it.
Don Quixote wrapped in a white light and Yu-hyun surrounded by black energy ran toward the giant and the mage.
