Yuma decided to watch for now to see how Bell and Luke would deal with this giant king Ades.
Bell stepped forward.
White light condensed on her thin sword.
A flash of light rushed towards Ades.
Zing──!
Gray smoke rose thickly from the giant’s gray skin.
Red blood sprayed out in a circular pattern.
The wound healed almost instantly, making it embarrassing to even call it a wound.
Rumble!!
Black divine power surged throughout the giant Ades’ body.
Black smoke also flowed thickly from his mouth.
Even Bell and Luke’s supreme aura blades couldn’t pierce through the giant’s rock-like skin.
An empty hole.
And again, flesh and bone refilling with black light.
This irrational cycle continued repeatedly.
Bell gritted her teeth and stepped forward strongly.
The head of Ades, reminiscent of a giant Moai statue, tilted downwards violently.
A loud, sharp cry echoed from the mouths of the warriors at the forefront.
“Form 2!”
It sounded like a signal that the 2nd form attack was about to begin.
Rumble!!
Black light gathered into a single point in Ades’ mouth.
A sphere that looked like black energy advanced, shattering the ground.
“Dodge!!”
The warriors who had been attacking Ades up close quickly threw their bodies backwards.
They rolled their bodies and threw themselves backward, desperately trying to get as far away from Ades as possible.
The ‘2nd form’ attack pattern wasn’t just about spewing black rays.
[Lv.223]
The giant Ades stomped his massive foot on the ground.
Rumble──!
A thunderous sound echoed throughout the entire wall of the White Night castle.
Black divine power surged eerily along the snowy ground.
The body of a young warrior who had been rolling to escape floated up- buong.
And became completely defenseless in midair.
“Arghhhhhh!”
The black flames that had surged like blades along the ground completely enveloped the body of the White Night warrior.
He had fallen victim to the ‘ground stomp’, one of the patterns of the 2nd form attack.
“Bend your body in the eternal flame─!”
“Bend your body in the eternal flame─!”
Two White Night mages wearing pure white robes simultaneously chanted 4th circle binding magic.
A golden flame was created in the air and slammed down onto the body of the giant Ades.
It could only bind Ades’ body for a very brief moment.
The White Night mages were also aware of this fact.
Four warriors rushed in at once and pulled out the warrior whose body was burning in the black flames.
This binding magic was merely a means to gain an opportunity to rescue the warrior.
There were only 5 mages in total in the White Night clan.
This was because the talent bestowed upon the clan itself was biased towards swordsmanship rather than magic.
Helen, the most accomplished 5th circle mage among the 5 mages, raised her staff while breaking out in a cold sweat.
The spell was quickly completed.
Healing magic, which was difficult for people born with mana circuits unsuited for it to even learn, was completed in Helen’s hands.
Green light that burst out along a circular formation extinguished the black flames.
“Urghhhh…!”
And it seeped into his entire body, healing the warrior’s wounds.
Yuma inwardly marveled at the White Night clan’s quick and unflustered response.
The White Night clan warriors began to move in unison again.
Sword energy bloomed from the swords of about 30 warriors.
“Haaah!”
“Hit it!”
Slashes with similar intent to the binding magic the mages had just demonstrated rushed towards the giant Ades.
It was a net woven from sword energy.
All those numerous nets contained tough contractility and density that couldn’t be easily broken.
Crack!
The white sword energy threads simultaneously covered Ades’ upper and lower body and bound him.
Like a spider web meticulously binding its prey.
Thud! Boom!
Covered in the net of sword energy and becoming one with the ice wall, Ades struggled hard to raise his body, but though his upper body heaved violently, the net didn’t tear easily.
[Lv.185]
Luke stepped forward again.
Swish…
White energy endlessly gathered on the huge sword Luke held.
As if a vortex was forming with Luke’s body as the center.
A white storm was born on the sword.
Luke bent both knees for a moment, then straightened them and leaped up.
Crack!
The ice fragments where Luke had been standing crumbled, and numerous ice shards flew.
Luke, who had stopped in midair as if treading on the sky, threw both arms back.
Luke’s face was contorted like the visage of an evil spirit.
The sense of responsibility to end this cursed karma.
He had always felt that responsibility.
That’s why he forcibly held onto his abnormally worn-out willpower.
And faced the giant king, Ades, giving his all every day, every moment.
Luke’s main skill struck down.
Towards the 90m tall giant Ades whose feet the clan warriors had bound.
Zing!!
A ferocious cracking sound echoed through the White Night .
There was clearly a crack.
It could be confirmed with the naked eye.
A clear sword mark from the giant’s crown to the center of his chest.
A fatal wound that could be considered half-severed.
Swoosh!
Something shot out like a ghost from beside Luke.
In the center of her pink pupils, pure white eye light was flowing out.
Her long blue hair fluttered.
Bell’s sword fell vertically.
She traced the exact trajectory of the attack her father and White Night clan head Luke had inflicted on the enemy.
To finish off Ades.
However─
Roar!!!
Ades, who had completely torn off the net of sword energy, roared and raised black divine power throughout his body.
Whoosh!
The attack inflicted by [White Devil] was completely healed.
The wounds at both extremes instantly adhered.
Like the scene of water meeting water.
Without even a trace of heterogeneity.
The black flame-shaped divine power burning throughout his body also served as a protective barrier.
Clang!
It completely deflected [Falling Sky].
Whirl!
Bell regained her posture and did a backflip in midair.
And landed safely on the ground.
“Tch.”
She couldn’t help but click her tongue.
Because the blade of her sword was completely ruined.
As expected.
Were they not going to be able to kill this damn giant king today either?
Would they never be free from this karma?
Plop…
It began to snow from the sky.
Plop plop plop plop─!
It could certainly be called a heavy snowfall.
The scene of heavy snow falling towards the White Night castle was quite spectacular.
Bell raised energy throughout her body.
White energy.
And she took a step forward.
“Mages… all of you. Make this snow as sharp as possible. As much as you can.”
“…Understood.”
All the White Night mages had doubts, but they didn’t voice those doubts.
It was trust and faith in Bell’s struggles up until now.
Bell’s eyes sharpened.
Sincere anger welled up from her toes.
The target to vent this anger on was very simple and clear.
That giant, the king of the giant race, Ades.
“Freeze sharply!”
The mages used [Freezing] magic to turn the heavy snow falling on the White Night into hail as sharp as blades.
And among those mages was Cloney, the mage who had resonated with Bell.
White energy began to spread from Bell’s body.
And those energies spread out like silk spun by silkworms, like ripples on a quiet sea.
Very clearly substantial.
Crackle!
The energy that had spread out permeated the heavy snow that the mages had made sharp.
Crackle crackle!
Numerous snowflakes.
Hundreds of snowflakes.
Thousands of snowflakes.
Those snowflakes emitted sword energy like formless swords and lined up densely behind Bell.
“What… is this?”
“So this is the difference in talent.”
The White Night swordsmen were shocked to see the numerous snow swords Bell had created.
Among them were Haven and Luke.
Overwhelming genius.
Bell drew out all the power she could exert.
Bell’s eye light shone again.
Rumble!!
The thousands of formless swords Bell had created fell like a downpour towards the giant Ades.
Roar!
The giant’s body was covered by the fall of thousands of white swords.
Swish─
Bell raised her sword around her shoulder, adjusting the angle.
Legs spread wide.
A thrust.
It was the posture that could maximize the power of [Frost Flower].
Crack!!
The glacier Bell was standing on crumpled.
The chill of the white White Night spread like a sonic boom.
‘Faster.’
With the determination to end this karma with this attack.
Bell’s form shot forward.
Keeeeeeeee─!
Roar!
Ades’ scream was heard.
Numerous black smokes erupted from Ades’ upper body.
And black liquid also spurted out like a fountain.
From within the crater-shaped wound created by Bell’s [Frost Flower].
But that was only for a moment.
Zing.
The crater-shaped wound was instantly restored.
Along with black eye light shining in Ades’ eyes.
“…As always, crazy giant race.”
Bell twisted her lips in a despairing smile.
She felt all the strength draining from her body.
She was in a state where she wouldn’t mind collapsing on the ground.
Because she had drawn out her limits with full power.
At that moment, someone appeared beside her.
“White Night clan.”
A heavy voice flowed into Bell’s ear.
It was a noble, dignified voice.
“It seems you are indeed the person I’m looking for.”
“…What?”
From Bell’s position of not knowing anything, Yuma’s words couldn’t help but be incomprehensible.
“If I kill that giant king, Ades, and end the karma of your White Night clan, will you come with me?”
Bell’s pink pupils, which had grown wide, stared directly at Yuma.
“Hehehe…hehehe!”
Bell began to laugh as if she found it utterly ridiculous, as if she had lost her mind.
And a moment later, she abruptly stopped that laughter.
“…If you do that, I’ll just follow you.”
Bell smiled softly at Yuma.
“If you accomplish that, if our clan gains freedom like that.”
That smile was quite pretty.
“I’ll give you my everything.”
Yuma heard those words and looked ahead.
“I’ll remember those words.”
Boom!
Because the giant king, Ades, was approaching, taking giant steps.
Keeeeeee──────────────!
Something gathered in Ades’ wide-open mouth.
It was black divine power energy.
“F-Form 2!”
“What are you doing!! We need to dodge!”
Numerous murmuring voices were heard.
Yuma ignored those voices and drew out [Axion].
Shing…
A 90m tall giant standing on two feet.
A man standing still in front of such a giant.
At this moment, only two people didn’t doubt that man.
Only Cloney and Hestia.
Boom!!!
Black light erupted as if to engulf the world of White Night .
Yuma stepped forward with his right foot.
He took the center of the black light as the parrying point.
Zing
The parry was successful.
The black light reversed course.
Towards the sky.
No, towards the upper body and head of the giant king Ades.
Boom!!!
Ades’ upper body was crushed by the black light.
The black light erupted fiercely. However─
Crack!
Crunch!
Zing!
The [Absolute Counter] skill was not affected by the target’s defense.
No matter how excellent the ‘regeneration’ and ‘recovery’ were, if the defense itself, which was the source of the giant race’s durability, was nullified, those effects were also close to useless.
Boom─!
Ades’ face, directly hit by the black divine power energy wave, caved in from the chin.
Regeneration and recovery were completely ignored.
Boom!!
In the end, the giant king Ades’ upper body and head were completely annihilated.
It was death.
The death of the giant king, Ades.
Ru──mble…
Thud!
Boom!
As the 90m tall giant who had lost his life collapsed to the ground, he shattered the White Night castle structures.
But such structures weren’t even in the minds of the current White Night clan.
“…Ah, ah.”
Bell, who had been staring blankly at Yuma, lowered her head towards her own body.
The sensation of the [Blood Oath] that occasionally revealed its presence by constricting her heart had disappeared.
Completely, without even a trace of déjà vu.
A sense of liberation.
A powerful sense of liberation welled up from her toes.
All 120 members of the White Night clan in the land of White Night felt that sense of liberation together.
With the complete death of the giant king Ades, all members of the White Night clan were liberated from their karma.
