The giant fist descended like an avalanche.

Koooong—!

The resulting shockwave tore through the surrounding space, triggering a massive earthquake.

A gaping crater formed in the earth, dust and debris billowed into the sky, and a fierce storm swept through the area.

All of this was caused by a single blow.

An ordinary punch.

“Khahaha! This is exciting!”

But the one facing the giant wasn’t intimidated. He moved swiftly, his body transforming.

Harley, having enlarged himself to about 15 meters, barely reaching the giant’s thigh.

Crack—!

Covered in dark red scales, he charged like a beast, his sharp claws tearing into the giant's massive arm.

The tough muscles were shredded, white blood splattering everywhere…

Wham—!

Kaboom!

…But the giant, unfazed, swung its arm, smashing Harley away.

An incredible reaction speed, defying its size.

“You’re a nuisance, barbarian. You can’t hurt me.”

The giant growled in annoyance.

The wounds on its arm had already regenerated.

Harley also quickly got back on his feet, fueled by the madness stored within him, but the difference in their power was overwhelming. The exchange wasn’t in his favor.

‘Its senses are too sharp. I can’t use my smaller size and speed to my advantage. It’s anticipating my every move.’

He hadn’t noticed it while fighting Hans, overwhelmed by his presence and power, but now, clashing head-on, he could clearly feel the true extent of the giant’s abilities.

Even Harley, despite his significant growth, couldn't defeat it.

‘It was a good decision to lure it away from the city. Otherwise…’

It had only been a minute since Harley and the Revolutionary clashed, but the surrounding area was already devastated, as if bombed.

The earth screamed, twisted and torn by the sheer force of their attacks, and the air crackled with the collision of aura, madness, and otherworldly energies.

‘…I need to get even further away. Tarak is Hubert’s base, I can’t let it be destroyed.’

Even at a distance of over 5 kilometers, he couldn’t be careless.

He had been caught off guard when the giant caught up to him much faster than expected, after he had snatched Diana and escaped.

Even with the boost from the expensive suit, pushing it to supersonic speeds, and the additional protection from magic tools, he had barely managed to escape.

“Khahaha! You’re tougher than I thought! You’re not just a big oaf like the others!”

“Ha! How dare you compare me to…!”

At that moment, the giant’s expression hardened.

And then, turning swiftly—.

Whoosh—!

…It swung its massive arm.

A fierce gust of wind swept through the area, scattering the few remaining trees and bushes.

And then.

“Tsk, it noticed me. How troublesome.”

A cold voice echoed from the distance, and a figure emerged from the shadows.

Heinz the Second, the Sacred Blood vampire, who had been planning a stealth attack using “Existence Denial”.

He calmly adjusted his clothes and clicked his tongue.

As the giant frowned, about to retort,

Another unexpected event occurred.

Flash—!

A brilliant light erupted from the distance.

“Found you. Heretic, defying the will of the Main God.”

And with the flash, a figure appeared, his voice calm and steady.

A holy aura, radiating from his body, calmed the turbulent energy in the vicinity.

It was Heinrich, the Saint of the Main God Church, who had used “Blessing: Leap” to join the battle.

Three transcendent beings surrounded the giant.

The giant, momentarily silent, narrowed its eyes and smirked.

“Khaha! A mongrel barbarian, a vampire lord, and now the Saint of the Main God Church? This is… Hmm?”

But its mocking words were cut short.

Its expression twisted, and its gaze shifted to Harley, then to Heinz the Second, and finally to Heinrich.

“…Who are you?”

It muttered, its voice filled with genuine curiosity.

It wasn’t certain. It lacked the appropriate sense for such a judgment. The sense of smell.

But it could clearly feel the dissonance emanating from them.

And of course—.

“Khahaha! I am Harley, the King of the South!”

“Begone, you insignificant wretch.”

“Heretic, defying the will of the Main God. I shall judge you.”

…They had no intention of answering its question.

______________________

Kaboom——!

A deafening roar shook the world.

A massive explosion, a cloud of dust and debris rising into the sky, a powerful shockwave sweeping through the surroundings…

“Incoming shockwave! Brace yourselves!”

“Reinforce the barrier!”

…Its impact reached even the walls of Tarak, over 10 kilometers away.

Rumble—!

The shockwave, distorting space and compressing the air, slammed into the city, and the protective barrier surrounding it shimmered, its presence intensifying.

The barrier trembled precariously, but the mages’ efforts quickly stabilized it, averting another crisis.

“Whew— That was close.”

A knight, stationed on the northwestern wall of Tarak, sighed in relief.

It was a sentiment shared by everyone on the walls, but their relief was short-lived.

They had no idea how many more shockwaves would follow.

“Damn it! If the walls hadn’t been damaged, we could have handled it better! Repairs? Are they done yet?! What are the mages saying?!”

“They’ve managed to set up a temporary barrier, but fully restoring it in this situation is impossible! They’re barely holding it together…”

“…We should be grateful they’re fighting that far away. If that monster was rampaging in the city…”

It wasn’t an exaggeration. The entire city might have been wiped out.

The knight glanced at the mages, busily working their magic, and then turned his gaze towards the source of the commotion.

Koooong—!

Another shockwave.

This one was smaller than the previous ones, so it wasn’t as alarming.

As the mages groaned, he enhanced his vision with aura and stared intently at the distant battlefield.

“What in the world…?”

“Ha… Haha… This is insane…”

And he wasn’t the only one watching.

The other knights, stationed on the walls but with nothing to do like the mages, also stared in awe, their faces pale and covered in sweat.

Beyond the devastated landscape, where trees and hills had been flattened,

A massive figure, its size defying perspective even at that distance, stood tall.

A giant, its monstrous presence amplified by the sinister energy it emanated.

It was a force of nature, its every movement shaking the air, its attacks distorting space and spreading destruction.

Even a glance was enough to overload their minds. It was a being that defied conventional combat.

The knights could only endure thanks to the distance, the protective barrier, and their own levels. The ordinary soldiers had collapsed the moment they saw the giant.

Rumble!

And before those who had the minimum qualifications to witness the scene,

A legendary battle was unfolding.

“Am I dreaming? This is too unreal.”

“Puh— I’ve heard he was strong, but this is beyond the rumors. I’ve been living under a rock…”

Facing the insurmountable giant, not just holding its own, but pushing it back—.

Three figures, moving in perfect unison, like a single being.

The hero, the Saint of the Main God Church, who had appeared like a savior. The vampire lord, who seemed to have come from the neighboring Talia Kingdom. And finally…

“…Is that… Harley, the Dragonborn? I heard he left the north a while ago.”

“Harley? Harley?! I heard he made quite a name for himself during the Steel Fortress defense… Is that red giant really Harley?”

“Hmm, well, we don’t know much about Dragonborn…”

A large creature, covered in dark red scales, with sharp claws and fangs.

Despite being only as tall as the White Giant’s thigh, he was fearlessly facing it, holding its attention.

So that the others could launch more effective attacks.

Harley charged towards the giant’s leg like a tiger.

The giant reacted instantly, attempting to kick him away, but its arm was suddenly entangled by several blood-red chains, momentarily disrupting its balance.

At that moment, Heinrich appeared before it, his holy sword blazing with light, and grazed its eye. The giant recoiled, its head snapping back to avoid the attack…

Kaboom—!

…And Harley’s powerful body slam crashed into its leg, as intended.

As the giant stumbled, its balance faltering, the vampire and the Saint continued their assault, their attacks tearing into its massive body.

“Kyaaa—! You vermin—!”

The giant roared, its voice echoing through the air.

And the following attacks were just as relentless.

The three of them moved in perfect synchronization, pushing the giant further and further into a corner, slowly but surely hunting it down.

“Magnificent… This is the pinnacle of teamwork.”

“Incredible… That vampire hasn't even coordinated with them before, yet their movements are so seamless. Do those who have reached such a level share a single mind?”

“Kuhum… I feel nauseous just watching. If it weren’t for the barrier, ordinary people would be dying in droves.”

As the knights marveled at their precise and coordinated attacks,

The mages were fighting a different kind of battle, an arduous struggle against the overwhelming forces of nature.

“Magic stones! We need more magic stones! Quickly!”

“Don’t just stand there! Move! If this falls, the citizens will be massacred!”

“Shift change! Roccafellia Mages retreat, Tenure Mages take the center! Quickly!”

They were desperately trying to protect the city from the relentless waves of destructive energy, mages from both the territory and the magic towers working together.

As they reached their limits, their faces pale and drained of blood…

[“This seems quite dire. Allow me to assist you.”]

…A strange voice echoed in their minds.

A voice imbued with refined magic, its skill so profound that it evoked awe.

“What?”

“Wait, who…!”

As the mages looked up in surprise,

Crackle—!

The surface of the walls froze over.

The ice spread rapidly, covering the damaged sections and forming a new protective barrier.

“Wh-what is this…? She used freezing magic to forcibly reinforce the barrier’s circuits?!”

“She grasped the entire wall’s magic circuits?!”

“More importantly, this magic power… This isn’t the level of an ordinary Archmage! Could it be…!”

High above the mages, now in a different kind of chaos,

Isea, the Archmage who had remotely intervened, nodded slightly as she met her companions’ gazes.

“I’m not sure if we’ll be of much help in a battle of that scale. We might even be a hindrance…”

“Our priority is supporting the Saint. If we use the sky, we can minimize the risk.”

Lydia Granwood, the High Elf who had been the strongest in the Elven Kingdom before Harris’s appearance, and Liesta, the Saintess with the strongest holy power.

The entire hero party, who had been staying at the Grand Temple during the Pope’s funeral, had arrived, following Heinrich.

But they weren’t the only reinforcements.

Another group of powerful individuals had gathered elsewhere.

“As expected of the High Lord! Even the Saint is no match for you!”

“I offer my life for the glory of Hybrid!”

“Hmm, the giant’s blood is useless. This is troublesome.”

Several True Blood vampires from Hybrid, including Freesia Brokoslack…

“Khehehe, you guys just focus on supporting me. This looks like fun.”

“Yes! Lady Briki!”

…And Briki, another Sacred Blood vampire, had arrived in Tarak.

To hunt down the Revolutionary.
