142 – Chapter 44. Burn in the storm – 3

– 143 –

Qwaang-!

The soldiers’ helicopters and guns hit the fake giant’s head.

The darkness that had thickly surrounded his head was removed, and a light tower-like armament popped out.

The time for darkness to appear again is at most 10 seconds.

I watched from a slightly high altitude, but I did not miss the timing.

It rushed like a hawk hunting prey and cut off the iron pillar that supported the armament at once.

The heads of the fake giants who were attacking with beams fell into the sea one after another.

After a while, the giants who gave up on me gave up attacking me and started heading to the port.

However, since it is a ship, it cannot be faster than a helicopter.

I persistently pursued them and cut off the scarecrow’s head.

The ships that escaped from the darkness were firing anti-aircraft fire, but the crude attacks of the level of personal firearms could not even penetrate the storm and died in the middle.

It seems that all the armaments on the ship were removed because they were carrying heavy things.

Or maybe it’s a transport ship made specifically for this kind of thing.

Thanks to you, we were able to defeat more than half of the scarecrows with little to no disturbance.

aaah!!

Every time a fake giant was defeated, the real giant howled in rage.

I could see them getting anxious at the concentrated gunfire and the slowly disappearing piles.

The giants have now reached less than a kilometer from the port.

In human terms, it’s about 10 meters away, so if you want to, you’ll be able to run right into it.

“Erif. Are the ships okay? Even if the giants enter the port like this…….”

“I’ll check it out.”

Looking over the shoulders of the giants, the situation at the port was better than expected.

Whether the island’s defense system was excellent, the ships seemed to be in good shape, and the port was not very conspicuous.

Humans and spirits were busily running under the lights everywhere.

The giant staggered as the ships fired at their opportunity.

When the giants approached the port, they fired a few beams of light from close proximity, but each time they were blocked by the island’s defenses.

The shield using the latest magic that refracts the white light at an odd angle and sends it out into the air behind the island was firmly protecting the port and the fleet.

“I think the port is fine. Let’s keep going.”

“Rager. How long left?”

“Now, I think we need to get rid of about 5 units.”

There are more than 10 giants left, but the real giants and those who have run far away should be excluded for now.

After dealing with a few more fakes, the three real light giants began to escape near the harbor.

They, dispersed in three directions, returned to the back of the mountain peak near the port that blocked the firing line, and came out again to the Great Sea. At first glance, they gave up their attack and moved as if retreating.

But I had a gut feeling they wouldn’t back off like this.

“I’ll have to attack the real giant soon.”

「Is it possible to quickly regenerate darkness?」

“I received a lot of gunfire and the damage has been accumulated. The playback was not fast.”

The giants of light had lost half of the darkness they were surrounded by due to the continuous bombardment.

If it hadn’t been for a terrible storm, I’d have been able to deal with it with concentrated fire right away.

Hiding over the mountains, the giant was spinning around the edge of the island.

Wait. Wouldn’t it be a big deal if you came up to the back of the island like that?

If it was on land instead of under water, it would move much faster, and even if the fleet took a risk and bombarded the island, it would be difficult to catch it.

Then, if the defense facilities on the inside of the island break…….

I communicated to the heroes as soon as I understood their intentions.

It would be nice to inform Bartiers directly, but I had no choice because I didn’t know how to change the communication channel in the unified state.

“Tell Bartiers the movement of the giants. We might go back to the back of the island and land!”

“Okay! HQ! HQ Reply!”

While the warriors were communicating with the Bartiers, I blocked the front of the giant coming out to sea.

If even this guy is stopped, the burden on the fleet will be lessened.

As I was waiting for the Gold Dragon’s support fire, raindrops hit my body.

The giant, whose glowing body was half covered with black smoke, stared at me in front of him.

I was also floating in the air, staring at the giant.

I don’t have any means to attack right now, so why doesn’t this guy attack?

The moment I thought so.

As the air grew heavier, the violent storm stopped.

I felt a huge flow of magic from all directions.

Even the wind spirits who rode in the storm were afraid of the magical power that engulfed his body.

I turned back to the unexpected change and urgently connected the communication.

“Cermia? Shane? Some support shots…….”

Only noise came out of the pendant, but there was no answer.

A powerful jamming, or magical anomaly, was taking place.

I suddenly looked down and looked down at the magical ocean.

Darkness was gathering from the warship carrying the scarecrow, from the sea, from the air.

It became a black armament that swallowed up light and surrounded the giant.

The giant, dressed in darkness like power armor, raised a huge sword forged in darkness.

Is it even pretending to be unified?

If I didn’t even think about it like this, I felt like I would be overwhelmed by the huge existence in front of me.

The giant raised his sword over his shoulder.

With the flow of air and magical power accompanying that simple movement, my body stumbled powerlessly like fallen leaves caught in a tornado.

“Damn. How have you been before?”

I had never wielded such a huge and primitive power in my memories of the Shinma War.

I’ve dealt with Arumanan’s rival aircraft carriers, multi-faceted tanks larger than Master Chromanium, Bartiers and battleships that contended for sea supremacy, but this was the first enemy of this kind.

The giant started dropping a sword like Mount Tai.

From a distance, it may look like slow motion, but it felt like a whole mountain was falling in front of my nose.

I had to avoid it, but my body and wings didn’t move as I wanted, probably because of the wind and magical power that blew like crazy.

If you stay still like this, you will be crushed.

[[Master! Unite with me!]]

She looked at the sword in front of her with a dazed mind, and then suddenly woke up to the serious voice of the youngest spirit ringing her head.

“[[Unification!]]”

As if possessed, additional unification was cast, and a creaking sound was heard from behind.

Something clung to her shoulder as if carrying a slightly heavy bag, and the propellers on her wings began to spin violently.

When the sword reached 1 meter in front with the sound of the RPM rising terribly, I closed my eyes involuntarily.

Purong-

With the sound of the air exploding, I felt my body being pulled down.

“Ahhh-!”

The dark sword that filled the front of my eyes was all too far below me.

As I ascended endlessly, I came up to a place where I could see the dark night sky through the dark clouds.

Thunder roared and flashed among the clouds beneath her feet.

I think it would be very cold if I was barefoot at this altitude, but thanks to the integration, I was fine.

It was easy to breathe.

Now I have time to look around the integrated parts.

“You’re the youngest. What’s this?”

[[This is a reinforced wing. The Master’s life seemed in danger right now.]]

Wings were attached to the parts that were wrapped like a bag.

Looking at the knowledge of this world and the other side, is the jetpack the most similar?

Movement was not uncomfortable, and the speed seemed to be faster than that of a jet.

“Then I have to feed him a room now… ….”

There is still a storm down there.

It would be nice to know the location, but it was impossible to observe with the naked eye because of the clouds, and the altitude was too high, so detection magic was useless.

As I was about to turn around and go down, something caught my eye.

“Huh?”

I could not hide the smile on my lips when I saw it gliding over the clouds in the moonlight.

The ‘reinforcement force’ mentioned earlier on the Bartiers was clear.

I quickly flew towards the reinforcements with the newly acquired wings.

The heavy-duty helicopter ‘Gold Dragon’ with two warriors on board moved stably even in the storm and shot the heads of fake giants.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. Now, in any weather, everything will be possible to fly.”

With a slight bitter smile at Chermia’s weary voice, Shane raised her sights and prepared for the next attack.

[[Element Burst Ready!]]

The attack was loaded with a single powerful and precise shot with one attribute along with the spirits’ exciting voices.

After several shots, ‘fire’ is the most effective to drive away darkness, but above the stormy sea, the wind and water spirits are strong.

Shane has carefully chosen her attributes.

The magic of the wind flowed from the magic stone to the weapon.

Shun-

The element burst that was fired while creating a sonic boom struck the giant’s head while drawing a yellow-green trajectory that symbolized the spirit of the wind.

The darkness fell, and Erif rushed in and cut off the support.

At last, the giants started to disperse, and while relieved, Erif contacted the Bartiers to inform the movement of the real giant and stood in front of a giant.

“Shane! There!”

After Shane completed the communication, following the gaze of Chermia tapping her forearm, she took her gaze to the front, and there was a giant wrapped in darkness and Erif that appeared as a silver dot.

It was a stormy night, so it was not clearly visible, but the giant was slamming a huge weapon over the Erif.

“Erif is in danger. Shane, attack-“

“I am preparing.”

While Chermia approaches the giant at full speed, Shane chooses a different weapon instead of the cooldown element burst.

[[Lightning bolt ready.]]

The magic of lightning, refined by fire and wind, wrapped around the helicopter.

It was an attack that could make even a giant retreat if hit correctly.

“Hurry up!”

“It’s done!”

Pajik

White lightning scorched the giant’s body, burning raindrops.

However, it had already passed the location where the giant’s black erif was and slammed into the sea.

“No!”

Chermia screamed.

There was silence on the plane for a while.

I couldn’t hear anything except the sound of rain and wind and the rotor spinning.

After a few seconds, Chermia found traces of Erif, who had disappeared as she flipped her switch up and down with her trembling hands.

However, no matter how much detection magic and communication were mobilized, there was no response from Erif.

She dropped her head, ignoring the giant’s gaze upon them.

“Calm down. Erif can’t be beaten to that level.”

Chermia glanced at Shane’s words and lifted her lever, biting her lip, rising.

The giant’s sword passed the spot where the gold dragon had just been.

A terrible aftermath followed, but Chermia glared at her dashboard with her furious gaze and moved her hand to stabilize her aircraft.

“Shane. Let’s catch him. No, you have to catch it.”

“… Okay.”

He decided not to say anything that seemed impossible.

If Erif really had been attacked by that giant, he would have run into it, too.

But somehow, Shane felt that Erif was moving in a not-so-distant distance.

She couldn’t easily talk to Chermia because she was afraid of a fight.

Shane prepared her attack with her mood subsided a little.

‘Erif needs to come back soon.’

Shane prayed that she would be strong enough for herself and Cermia, and above all that she would be able to withstand her chopper being hit by her sword.
