Part 5
The squad that climbed to the higher ledge which gave them a clear view of the lake front were suddenly thrown into chaos as they were met with an unexpected attack.
But that was only to be expected.
The destination which was on that higher ledge had a huge shadow that could even block out the glow from the moonlight and the red armored single armed metal giant gave a fearsome roar as it stood in wait for them.
“—DEEEEeeeEEEEN!!”
“WUaaaaaaahhhhhh!!?” The operatives of the second squad issued a series of alarmed cries as they backed away from the thing that they had no idea about.
That was also understandable since there was no forewarning for the sudden appearance of the thirty feet tall metal giant. And it would be rather difficult if we were to expect them to be calm.
Elegantly sitting upon the shoulder of the metal giant, the black haired young girl—Kudou Asuka looked down upon the scattering crowd as she grumbled with dissatisfaction.
“Why are they running? I’ve not done anything yet…… This is not fun at all.” Asuka sighed while supporting her face with a hand.
“Just a mere metal doll, don’t you get all cocky like that!”
Asuka lifted her head sharply to spot a huge boulder flying towards herself.
Asuka raised her hand and issued the command to Deen, “Deen, block!”
“—DEEEEeeeEEEEN!!”
Giving a roar, Deen used its right hand to shatter the boulder. Although Asuka had not understood the situation instantly, she soon got the information she needed from the sight of the person who threw the object.
Her carelessness dispelled, she watched the enemy who stood before her eyes.
“A Giant……!! Where could he have come from……?”
“Haha—!! The technique of therianthropy[5] isn’t only limited to the Eudemons and werebeasts! It is also a necessary skill for one as big as me to live in the human cities as well!”
*Dum!* Dork Porfoy of the Giant’s race thumped his chest with a fist as he explained. Measuring a height similar to Deen, the muscular arms that were as thick as tree trunks seemed to promise a proportionate amount of crazy strength to match.
Summoning a huge axe from his Gift Card, the male Giant reported his name in a loud voice, “I’m Dork Porfoy, Vice Leader of [Four Footed]. Although I do not know your intent for standing on this high ledge….. but it would be a headache for us if you do not give us passage.”
“Ara, then that’s not a problem. We intended to give you guys that headache by standing here in the first place.”
Hng Hng, Asuka ran her hand through her hair lightly as she gave a laugh.
“I see. Standing there to give us a headache, huh? It might not be a problem for you ojou-san…… but it is a serious problem to us.”
A warrior’s glint could be seen residing in the gaze of Dork and Asuka accepted that gaze directly with a light smile.
“Let’s cut the talk. We have different goals and to plunder and fight with each other in the world is only reasonable in these situations. ”
“I’m Kudou Asuka of [No Name]. This is my comrade Deen. We will block the way of all who try to take this higher ground. So if you are prepare to do that, feel free to come at us at any time!” Clenching her right fist, Asuka reported her name to Dork.
“Ha, that suits me fine!!!”
Heaving the axe to his shoulder, Dork started forward with an earth shattering sound in his wake. And Deen swung its right hand to send the head of the axe flying.
The collision of the super heavy and tall classed players shook the earth and caused the other participants to be shiver in fear.
A huge crater was created on the elevated platform and there were even some players who fell under the crater cracks.
As the single armed metal giant and the warrior of the Giants fought, the collisions caused the surface of the lake’s water surface to shake and the moon’s reflection to ripple.
Even though the fight had only progressed for a few minutes, the sight of such a fight was already able to capture the hearts and minds of the participants.
And they would soon remember who was it that caused the advance party to run their retreat.
