Just now.

“That child is the King of Giants.”

A voice echoed in Garcia’s head.

Until that revelation, I didn’t know the identity of the white-haired kid. I just thought of him as a colleague of a human mercenary named Xian.

But the revelation told me.

While drinking tea, Garcia’s hand stopped.

‘… … Shall I capture him again?’

I was surprised by the little child’s identity that I could not have imagined, but I did not express it outside.

She calmly asked for an opinion.

「As I said before, the King of Giants has already lost all power. You don’t have to do that anymore.”

‘then.’

There is only one thing to do.

She saw Xian and the Giant King sitting next to him.

“… … It didn’t kill you.”

At the same time, a chill began to swirl around her.

Everyone in the room was taken aback by the sudden change of atmosphere.

Xian and the Giant King, as well as Yu Seol, who owes money to this house, were also taken aback. Who could have predicted that the Queen would suddenly do something like this?

I don’t care about people’s reactions.

―Kwagwagwagwagwang!

A great pressure came and it exploded. Rough pieces of ice scattered and completely destroyed the house.

The walls, ceiling, and pillars were all replaced, and the house collapsed.

“Kuk!”

Sian jumped out of the thick dust and fell back.

With one hand, he was holding the Giant King by the back of his neck.

Garcia’s sudden attack focused on him and the King of Giants, so he escaped with him.

“What are you doing!”

Sian strongly protested, but Garcia walked out without changing a single expression.

Xian frowned.

The word ‘I didn’t kill’ you just said.

“Hey, you wouldn’t know.”

“That is… … .”

Xian frowned and spoke to the Giant King.

The giant king was speechless.

However, it was not an expression of incomprehensibility.

He was more flustered than anyone else in the room, and couldn’t speak.

“Obviously, I didn’t feel anything until just now. She was an ordinary half-elf.”

The Giant King glared at Garcia and spoke.

The air is shaking around her. As if this frigid land itself obeyed her.

It was really strange.

As Xian knew, the Queen of the Glacier Baengnyeong did not have combat power.

She is a symbolic being and is said to be somewhat capable of handling spirits, but has no ties to high-level magic or vicious elemental arts.

However, from her now, an intimidation completely different from the rumors emanated from her.

“I can feel the same energy from her now.”

“… … .”

The giant king only talked about that, but Xian could guess what he was talking about.

So far, while traveling together, there was only one being that the giant king called ‘that b*tch’.

A fairy who is said to have defeated and sealed him in the past.

Elia.

‘… … Rumors aren’t everything.’

There seems to be something coming down from that time.

As expected, the lineage of the queen who rules the country. It didn’t go as smoothly as I’d heard.

“Sian Agrid.”

Garcia called out to Xian with cold eyes.

Sian replied.

“what?”

No more honorifics. He did not have the loyalty to use honorific words even to those who harbored the intent to kill him.

“I knew you found the Seal of the King of Giants. But of course I didn’t find anything, or I thought I might have killed the giant king who was tied up. But I never thought he would have saved me.”

There… … she added.

“I never thought we would be together.”

Chae Chae Chae Chae!

The air froze as she beckoned. The space where Xian and the Giant King were was shattered like glass.

Xian quickly drew out his black sword and slashed through the air to escape.

“There are circumstances here too.”

“What’s the matter? Are you also a warlock?”

Garcia opened his ax eye and looked at Xian.

Sian frowned and opened his mouth.

“A black magician, I… … .”

“hey! Master, are you all right!”

Before he could answer, a bolt of lightning shot from one side and hit Garcia.

Pajijijik! Garcia didn’t even turn his head, he blocked Hector’s thunderbolt with just a glance.

Her eyes narrowed as she saw it.

“It’s the devil’s energy. This density is not simply borrowed.”

‘Minimum Advent… … Or it could be the main body.’

Not even a hint of light disappeared in Garcia’s eyes looking at Xian.

A human who unleashes the sealed giant king and deliberately takes him with him. Even the devil who descended on his companion.

There was no doubt.

“… … .”

Xian sensed her unsettled mood.

Garcia had the characteristic gaze of a person who cannot communicate.

he said, squinting his eyes.

“I am not a warlock.”

“I bet you would.”

Garcia seemed unwilling to listen. When she raised her hand, the land of ice rose and turned into two huge snakes that tried to devour Xian.

Xian took out a white flower and cut off the snake’s head at once.

in between.

“Queen!”

“What are you doing!”

The Guardian Knights of Glacier Baengnyeong arrived one after another and surrounded Xian’s party.

Cyan, the King of Giants, and Hector were all receiving the swords of the half-fairies of the Guardian Castle before they knew it.

“Hey, what are you doing with this?”

“What should I do?”

Xian looked around at them. Several layers of troops are staring at them from all over the forest.

The cold Snow Queen in front of her and Yu Seol who is frozen and confused behind her.

After seeing that far, Xian held Baekhwa high.

“I have to run away.”

[ Heavenly Sword (霜天劍) – Heavenly Thunder (天雷)]

The glaive, wrapped in white flame, fell vertically and split the forest.

The Guardian Knights on the path were frightened and fled.

In the meantime, Xian and the others started to escape through the flames.

“catch! Catch it!”

The Guardian Knights immediately follow. Throwing away their swords, Xian’s party headed out of the forest.

looking at its back.

“Never miss it. It doesn’t matter if I kill you.”

Garcia spoke coldly.

* * *

Caang!

Xian knocked the arrow flying through the branches.

Because it was an arrow full of aura, Xian squinted one eye at the feeling of being extremely heavy.

As they fled, the Guardian Knights followed closely and continued to attack.

It was impossible to get rid of the half-elves in the forest.

“die!”

No matter how cyan was, he had no choice but to catch up.

A guardian knight who suddenly jumps out of the bush next to him and stabs his sword.

It was a surprise attack that caught anyone’s eyes.

-Kaang!

“Cuck!”

Xian’s sword cut him off at once. The body of the guardian knight flew far away and hit the base of the tree hard.

Xian clicked his tongue.

“How many times have you had it?”

It comes crashing down from all sides.

There were even guys who ran from the front after running past them.

In addition, some knights guarded every major street corner and even waited in line.

Against the half-elves, the forest was a place they knew well, the hometown forest.

It was an extremely unfavorable environment, but despite that, Xi’an and the others managed to escape.

Not only Xian, but also the King of Giants and Hector were using their strength.

“Damn it, what are you going to do now?”

Hector asked. Xian thought for a moment and then replied.

“There are two options. Go and clear up the misunderstanding.”

Xian glanced at the Giant King.

Clearing the misunderstanding means selling this guy to the Queen.

What’s even worse is that selling like that doesn’t necessarily clear up the misunderstanding.

“Anything else?”

“You run away like this. My next destination will be Jakarta.”

Just running outside the borders.

I was thinking of going to Jakarta anyway, but I didn’t want to go this way.

In a situation where I was still reluctant to enter the empire, it was like this even in Glacier Baengnyeong.

Whoa.

He wiped the sweat running down his jawline.

Since leaving Everwhale, he has continued his journey almost non-stop. In the meantime, there are only enemies everywhere.

The accumulation of fatigue was unavoidable.

‘For now, let’s get out of this forest.’

Next, you have to escape from the border of Glacier Baengnyeong, and then cross the continent below and go all the way to the south.

It was a schedule that seemed far-fetched, but Xian’s eyes began to burn even more.

‘Compared to the previous situation.’

Compared to the time when he was imprisoned by the Marquis family, he is much freer.

There are still a lot of obstacles left, but it doesn’t matter. Because you can surpass them all.

So, three days passed.

For three days, Xi’an and his party couldn’t even close their eyes.

I had to defeat the Guardian Knights who continued to attack.

As they knocked down all the knights, their strategy changed along the way.

Rather than coming to seize them by force, they did not let them sleep and waited for them to naturally get tired.

Fortunately, Xian and his companions were able to do well without sleeping for about three days.

‘It’s dangerous if it’s prolonged.’

It is dangerous to live like this for a long time.

As human beings, one day we have no choice but to fall asleep.

That moment was the moment the enemies had been waiting for.

“huh? I thought there were no raids today?”

“what?”

“look. There is no sign of anything around.”

Late at night, Xian cheered up following Hector who was talking like that.

There really was no sign of anything nearby.

Until now, they were the guardian knights who kept sending out annoying energy to keep them from sleeping.

“Don’t sleep on that. It’s a ploy to catch everyone off guard.”

Sian spoke.

It’s an obvious trick. What is the reason for hiding it after sending signs without a break until now?

It was clear that he was trying to catch them off guard, thinking that they would be unable to bear their drowsiness.

Hector shrugged as if agreeing.

“I know that much too, so don’t worry. In the first place, isn’t the owner the most dangerous among them? Me and this kid can survive without even sleeping.”

Hector was a demon, and the King of Giants is not the original body, but a created body.

I was able to work as much as I could without falling asleep. That much fatigue will accumulate.

But Xian was an ordinary human being.

“I’m still fine.”

Xi’an was still in full swing.

But the future is the problem. I had already lost my way in this forest because of the guys who were besieging me from the front.

I knew the direction of the exit, so I was able to find my way there, but it was unclear how long it would take to get to the exit.

‘It would be dangerous even if it continued for a few days.’

A decision is needed. For example, running away while being carried by Hector while sleeping.

As for the raiders, even the King of Giants would be able to deal with them alone, and this way they would be able to get enough sleep.

‘I’ll have to try it soon.’

Thinking so, Xian asked for beef jerky. When you’re thinking about spending a long night chewing.

– Dig!

Suddenly, a light came out from somewhere.

“It’s an assault!”

“Damn it again!?”

Although Hectora and the Giant King grumbled, they immediately took a combat posture.

Incredible amount of light spread in the dark night.

Xian also frowned and pulled out the black sword.

‘Where are you from?’

While thinking so, Xian realized a certain fact.

This light was not coming from any one place.

The ground they were stepping on, the tree they were leaning on. The whole forest they were in was glowing.

Even the world tree visible in the back.
