Chapter 624 Night Of Battle. =========================================================================

The Iron Mountains, the home of giants.

“What?”

“…Please listen to the stories of humans.”

When the giant sitting at the top asked, Kushan bowed his head and said, Then there was a small disturbance among the ten giants who were municipal on the left and right sides of the headstone.

No, it’s not a little fuss? Except for Kushan, everyone had more than seven to eight meters in size, so his voice is also very loud.

“Little master, what are you talking about? Are you telling us to join hands with the humans?”

“No, I knew this would happen in the first place! That’s why I told you to destroy the humans and bring them back!”

A shout among the giants goes to the small master standing alone in the center. As if he knew this would happen, Kushan clenched his mouth and said, “Looking back and forth between left and right and left.

“I’m back here now. By my own volition. I didn’t get any injuries while I was with humans. Can’t you tell from this?”

“The little master doesn’t know much about the human race yet!”

“Yes, I don’t know. But I know at least this one thing while living with humans this time. The humans waiting in the meadow now have no intention of fighting us. No, I don’t want to fight! But is it that hard to hear a story?”

“Stories? Huh! Stories of humans. It’s not worth it.”

When a giant snorted as if it was out of the question, Kushan’s face looked angry. Seeing giants who believe in their natural power without knowing the seriousness of the situation makes me feel suffocated. So it was a moment to try to persuade once again.

“Stop!”

The giant sitting at the top of the table shouted out loud. He was a giant bigger than any other giant standing around. Perhaps that’s why the extraordinary voice, which contained a solemn echo, quickly subsided the disturbance.

Soon after, the giant looked left and right and fixed his eyes with Kushan in the center.

“Just….”

“…….”

“Did you come back just to talk about this?”

“It’s not just a…!”

“Did you interrupt us just to talk about this? Little master.”

“…….”

Kushan unknowingly closed his mouth at the sight of the giant from the front. His voice, which had become so low, seemed strange that he could not dare to resist, and there was a hint of disappointment somewhere.

“Hahaha.”

At that time, the giant with his mouth wide open took a step forward and laughed freely. As expected, the body was huge, but unlike the giants around him, his face was full of old, such as dark wrinkles and thin beards. Perhaps the oldest of the giants here.

“It’s like the brothers’ heat is overheating. Perhaps everyone is unhappy with the behavior of their little master.”

“…….”

“But why don’t we call it a day? I understand how they feel, but it doesn’t seem right to just do this.”

“…….”

The old giant mediated in a calm tone. Then, the giants around them, who seemed to rush at any moment, coughed in vain and eased their spirits. Of course, I still haven’t earned the glaring look.

Soon “Tsk,” said the giant of the boss with his tongue in his face, looking at Kushan.

“…are you waiting for us in the meadow?”

However, Kushan did not open his mouth to the question that followed. I just nodded my head slowly once.

“Whoo….”

Soon after, the giant touched his forehead as if his goal was hurting, lowered his eyes and gestured toward the entrance.

“Let’s all get out of here.”

“Then…!”

“Call all the brothers and wait. I’ll wrap up my speech with the little master and leave.”

“…I see.”

All the other giants began to turn their backs on Kushan Thor’s hostess. In fact, the word “call and wait” was an official declaration of how the boss’s giant would treat the humans who came. The evidence was that Kushan’s face was grim.

It’s been a while.

Only Kushan and the giant of the boss’ seat remained where the giants standing nearby took their steps.

“Kushan.”

Suddenly, the giant of Sang-seok called Kushan gently. It was not a stiff voice like before, but a voice with warm affectionate voice. Like a parent calling a child.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Tell me.”

“…Godfather Kuchar.”

Kushan called the boss’s giant godfather Kuchar. Of course, they weren’t blood-related. However, it is the giant sitting at the top who has taught Kushan since he was a child and has replaced his father since Kushan Thor, the former Kushan. As such, Kushan’s most trusted giant was Kuchar.

“I just remembered my father’s words. Godfather Kuchar, it’s time for us to change our clan.”

“Again, again. Are you talking about your father again? He left you behind. I left you with a heavy responsibility to take care of the priesthood, who hasn’t even had an adult ceremony yet.”

“I didn’t throw it away! He left himself worrying about the future of the tribe!”

“Worry? It was something we all objected to.”

“He’s not wrong! That’s why you went out in the face of opposition!”

“I didn’t say you were wrong!”

For the first time, Kuchar’s voice was raised. Kushan shriveled up. Then Acha Han Kuchar immediately relaxed his stiff face and sighed deeply.

“…but it’s different. It was so different. There is a stark difference between what is wrong and what is different. Why don’t you understand this?”

“…It’s the same for me not to not understand.”

“The more you do this, the more it affects not only us but also other brothers. What you say is too dangerous. Especially if your opponent is human!”

“How do you know without even trying? And how long do we have to live like this? We’re all living in a closed space without any interaction.”

“There is a reason for that.”

“That’s why.”

“Kushan….”

“Tell me. If you don’t tell me, I’ll protect humans in front of everyone again this time.”

As Kushan’s tone became challenging, Kuchar called the central giant in a more earnest tone. But Kushan did not step down this time. Rather, it shines in the eyes and grabs both hands.

“Ha….”

This is my third sigh. With a long sigh, Kuchar shook his head.

“That kind of behavior is not right. It’s only harmful to you. And now you’re too young. He has yet to hold an adult ceremony. You’ll find out naturally when you grow up.”

“But this opportunity doesn’t come again, even if it’s big.”

“You are now the last of the Kushan clans. There’s only one thing we want from you. Grow up a little and have a coming-of-age ceremony and sit in the throne. And lead us. By then I’ll hand you Mölnir myself. “That’s all I have to do, but why do you keep trying to look away?”

“Even if that time comes, it won’t be any different than now. No, I’m sure it’s the same for me too. My argument and my clan’s argument clash, and I’ll end up leaving. Just like my father did.”

At that moment, a deep salivation broke out from Kuchar’s mouth. As the leader of a clan left, it was unusual for the former Kushan Thor to leave the clan. The biggest opposition and stopping giant there was Kuchar. Kushan’s words, in other words, were then the same as a bombshell announcement to recreate the incident.

“Well….”

Kuchar folds his arms and slowly closes his eyes as he tries to indulge in deep thought. Kushan kept clenching his trembling hand and stared at the top seat.

After such a long time.

“…good.”

Kuchar, muttering quietly, slowly rose. Kushan’s eyes are wide open. I just doubted my ears if I had misheard.

“Godfather Kuchar?”

“If you really mean it, let’s hear the story.”

“Well, are you sure? Are you sure?”

“Yes, as long as it’s a story.”

Then Kushan’s face suddenly glowed. Then he raised his right hand and held out his little finger.

“Promise me!”

“Hmm?”

Kushan smiled and scratched his head as Kuchar gave a curious look.

“Oh, this means a promise…”If you put your pinky like this and hit your thumb….”

“…Is it a custom of humans?”

Kushan nodded carefully. Kuchar burst into a bland smile.

“There’s nothing bad. …but if I promise, you promise.”

“What? Me, too?”

Kushan tilted his head and Kuchar looked solemnly.

“Yes, first of all, you’re out of this story. Wait here. And I will never say that I will leave my clan again.”

Kushan’s eyes flashed with a double eyelid.

“Jo, good. I’ll wait here calmly and never say I’ll leave again.”

“Okay, then let’s make a promise.”

Soon after, Kuchar, who strode, held out his right hand just like Kushan. Put your pinky finger on it and put your thumb. That’s how the promise between the two giants came true.

“Hehe.”

“Hey, do you like it that much?”

Kuchar, who was laughing hard after Kushan, exclaimed, “Ah.” As if there’s something I forgot to say.

“Kushan, come to think of it….”

Kuchar, who briefly blurted the end of his speech, looked around with keen eyes and continued with a low voice.

“Watch out for Hotch.”

Kushan tilted his head at the out of the blue. Hachar was the oldest giant in the clan. He was also a giant who covered Kushan a little bit earlier.

“Why all of a sudden….”

“I’ve been acting weird lately. I can’t believe your eyes.”

“…what? But.”

“What you said earlier could be to win your favor for some purpose. Think about it. He was originally the most hateful brother to humans.”

Come to think of it, Kushan’s face was filled with wonder whether there was anything strange. As Kushan confirmed his complexion, Kuchar soon smiled in a husky voice and laid his hand lightly on Kushan’s shoulder.

“But it doesn’t have to be too serious. I’m just saying to be vigilant. There’s nothing wrong with being careful, is there?”

“Gyeo, watch out?”

“Yeah. Anyway, don’t worry too much. As long as I have my brothers, nothing wrong will happen to you.”

“…….”

Suddenly, Kushan stared at Kuchar. This is because I suddenly felt sorry for what I did earlier. Come to think of it, Kuchar was like a real father, not only caring for himself, but also giving and helping appropriate advice all the time.

But I….’

Then Kushan’s hand on his shoulder slowly fell.

“Then I’ll be on my way. You didn’t forget the appointment earlier, did you?”

“No, of course. I’ll wait here calmly. It’s a promise.”

Even when he said promise, Kushan felt like he was being stabbed in the chest. But Kuchar, who looked warmly at Kushan, said, “Well, I’ll be right back,” and finally moved to where the clan was waiting.

Kushan, who was constantly looking at Kuchar’s growing back, soon dropped his head after confirming that Kuchar had disappeared completely disappeared. His eyes were on his own shadow.

Kushan opened his mouth.

“Hey….”

“Hahaha.”

At that moment, suddenly someone popped up. One of the giants standing around Kuchar earlier was Hachar. When Kushan looks away in surprise, Hatchar walks in with a smile.

“Hachar?”

“This is, this is unexpected?”

“……?”

“I thought you’d be down in the dumps. You look brighter than I thought.”

Kushan was at a loss at the sudden appearance of Khachar. I was worried that I might have heard what he said earlier.

“I’m glad you look fine.”

Fortunately, however, as he approached, he smiled kindly.

“Oh, haha. Thank you. It sort of worked out.”

“Oh, is that true? Then that’s also a great relief.”

“Fortunately?”

“Huh? Little master. Why do you look at me like that?”

“But Hotch….”

“…Ah.”

Only then did he realize the cause of the reaction, and he laughed in vain.

“I don’t know what the little owner would think, but….”

Then he further reduced the distance and whispered in a quiet voice.

“I’m not particularly opposed to the idea of a small owner.”

Kushan once again doubted his ears.

However, without a chance to organize Chae’s thoughts, what he said continued.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m all for it. However, I just thought it wouldn’t be bad to listen to the story once as the little owner said. Hahaha.”

“Is that so? I’m glad, too.”

By the time Kushan barely agreed. Hachar stepped back a couple of steps and still looked at Kushan with a smile on his face.

“Well, I don’t know how this is going to end..”

“…….”

“When you’re done, why don’t you come over? I want to tell you something about this case, and I want to show you something else.”

“What?”

Kushan asked back. But when he was no longer in a conversation, he turned around without hesitation and walked away.

‘Maybe what you said earlier was to ingratiate yourself for some purpose.’

‘Think about it. He was originally the most human-hating brother.’

I would have loved it if I had been in the past, but it was Kushan who had developed instinctive vigilance after hearing Kuchar’s words. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t happy or anything, even though I met my own kind who took sides with me.

Kushan glanced until Hachar disappeared, but was in a hurry to bow his head until he was completely gone. Eyes, again, turned to the shadow.

This time, after checking that there was really no one around, Kushan crouched and stared at his shadow. Then, he pressed the middle part of the shadow with his index finger and opened his mouth quietly.

“Hey…. We’re almost there…”.”

And at that moment, something jumped out of the shadow. Patting the top of the head, it was nothing less than a human head. Soon after, the user, who looked around once, confirmed that there was really no one, and completely escaped from the shadows. And after looking at Kushan once, he took something round out of his arms. It was a crystal ball for communication.

Soon after, the man who came up from the shadow tapped the crystal ball and gently put his hand on it. As soon as users spill their mana, the crystal ball for communication begins to shine between words. Kushan gulped and stared at the crystal ball.

And a little later.

Whoosh!

At the same time a slight vibrating sound was heard, a view of a grassland appeared in the center of the crystal ball.

It was a meeting place between a human and a giant.
