The Greatest Architect

70. Fugitives and Hostiles (2)

“Howl!”

Tuoyang!

A giant water balloon, no, a hawk, flew in.

You strike Gigatitan in the side.

Grumpy!

It was a basin that swallowed up the seawater and breathed heavily.

It weighed hundreds of tons.

Of course, it was nothing compared to the weight of 2,500 tons of Gigattan.

Nevertheless, it was possible to cause him to stagger briefly with a surprise attack.

Glug?

Gigatitan’s legs take a step, not Bourne’s.

I had to stumble so as not to fall, like a man who got hit in the side with a jimboll flying from a tap dance.

That stumbling saved Post No. 23.

Kuaang!

“Huff!”

The bridge that tried to step on Post 23 was pushed a few meters away.

I smashed the entire rock and dug deep into the ground.

The fragments have invaded the outpost.

As a result, however, the Sentry Post was unharmed.

A massive amount of debris flew towards him.

It was because there was someone who stopped the fragments.

“Get down!”

“ ……! ”

A shadow in front of the outpost with a shout.

I thought something was going to end up in the middle of nowhere.

I felt like I could swing that thing around.

In an instant, the dung spurted out everywhere.

Kakacakan!

A continuous glow that brightens the darkness momentarily.

Through that flash, the Post Office was able to see clearly.

Shovel?

Someone was swinging the shovel.

You hold the sack wide with both hands and hold a strange position for the first time.

But the movement was not a joke.

It’s like the arrowhead of a palace that hits a target.

You clear away any rubble from the flying rock.

Smack, block, and spill in the air, and you throw it out without hesitation.

‘That… is like a shield with a sack on it. ’

That was the viewing of the Sentry Post.

Later, the man with the shovel looks back this way.

“Are you all right?”

“Oh, you know, I… ”

“You look healthy. Follow me.”

The man, Lloyd, jerks his shovel over his shoulder.

The post office ran with him as he froze.

“Uh, where are we going? ”

“Where? Running away. ”

“Yes?”

“Haven’t you heard? I’m running away.”

Lloyd argued as if it were natural.

The postal hall’s expression was stiff.

“I can’t run away. We must defend this place. ”

“You can’t protect me. ”

“But we still have to protect it. ”

“You don’t have to keep it. ”

“Yes? What is that……. ”

“He’ll protect us here. ”

As you run, Lloyd points to one side.

The postal director’s gaze followed his fingertips.

And I found it.

Ammo magazine leaks blazing all over the place.

In the flames, Javier stands a knight of silver feet.

One sword was all he missed.

But his appearance was overwhelming.

He left a monster dozens of times bigger in front of him, and there was not a single blow.

Rather, he raised his sword and aimed at the beast.

And hit the ground.

Paaaaaah!

I ran like a thunderstorm.

I jumped over a rock.

You break through the blazing fire.

In front of him is the eleventh bridge of Gigatitan.

I crossed the bridge.

Xaviel’s sword flashes across the bridge.

Ka ‘kans!

A fire broke out.

A small scratch is engraved on the end of Gigatitan’s bridge.

One of Xaviel’s eyebrows twitches as he retrieves the sword.

You didn’t cut it? ’

I thought I’d at least cut it in half.

It was a bit of a surprise.

‘Again. ’

Manaha waves.

Triple circle increased rotational force.

Xaviel moves faster.

Tsupapot!

Much faster than Gigantan’s gaze.

I dug into the beast’s blind spot.

I jumped.

I stepped on his leg.

I jumped higher and faster.

There is the beast’s leg joint.

This area appears to be vulnerable to the skin’s defenses.

Suck!

Xaviel’s sword flashes.

As you cut through the space in oblique lines, you swarm towards the joints of Gigatitan’s legs.

However, the space was cracked, but the beast’s shell could not be split.

Kuaang!

“ ……! ”

The blade that used a tremendous gust of fire bounces off.

The Silver Hair Knight’s eyes flicker with resistance.

Lloyd frowns as he looks back at his figure, running away early.

‘That guy, I told him not to fight. ’

My heart was pounding.

Suddenly, I remembered what happened earlier.

♣

“There you go! A bubble?”

“Droplets?”

“Come on, eat this. ”

“Droplets?”

“The blue sunflower. Hurry up before you see that monster. ”

Lloyd gives the droplet blue sunflower seeds.

It was right after I rode the droplet across the sea.

It was the place where the waves made it to the coast safely.

He first reduced the size of the droplet.

I looked around quickly.

“What are you going to do now? ”

Xaviel takes it seriously.

Lloyd argued as if it were natural.

“What should I do? Hide. ”

“Yes?”

Xaviel has a slight wrinkle in his forehead.

“Hiding means launching an ambush? ”

“No.”

“Then?”

“What’s with the surprise? Hide.”

“Yes?”

“Are you thinking about fighting that monster? ”

“Of course.”

“Arthur, you will die.” ”

Lloyd throws off a heavily wetted robe.

He said that he didn’t understand the situation in which this controversy was being held.

“This is not our city. Besides, there ‘ll be an army in this city. Then why are we fighting with guns or knives? ”

“Of course… ”

“A sense of justice, something like that? ”

Lloyd tilts his head.

Xaviel’s glabellar lines deepen.

“Then what were the words you shouted to the Earl in the sailboat earlier? ”

“Cry?”

“You didn’t answer the Earl’s question of what to do from now on. ‘I’ll go.’ ”

“Yeah. That’s what I said. ”

“But you don’t want to take responsibility for the screaming. ”

“I told you I was coming here, and you didn’t tell me what to do after that? ”

“ ……. ”

“Right. So now it doesn’t matter if I hide here or not. Why should I risk my life for someone else’s? ”

“But, Lloyd, ”

“Do you see me as Superman? ”

“Yes? Superman, what is that……. ”

“Or does it look like I’m some kind of hero trying to save the world? ”

“ ……. ”

Of course not.

Lloyd never thought of himself that way.

You weren’t Superman.

He wasn’t even a movie hero.

‘I’m just a guy who wants to live in peace for the rest of his life after paying off his debt. ’

He is just a young man who lives hard every day for his purpose.

I’m just trying to get one more job.

To make money like that.

He’s just a regular guy who struggles every day.

“And you’re fighting a monster like that. How is that even possible? ”

A monster that had blown a huge statue hundreds of meters in strikes.

You smashed five sailboats at once.

He was hit by dozens of cannonballs and wouldn’t budge.

Fighting a monster like that.

If I could, of course I would.

But I didn’t think it would be possible at all.

To be honest, I was scared.

I didn’t even notice.

It breaks my heart to think of the citizens who would be harmed by that monster, but it was impossible.

Likewise, it sounded the same to Lloyd as it did to him: “Let’s fight that monster together, let’s commit suicide with impurity.”

That’s why.

“For the record, I don’t want to fight him. That’s why we got off the ship with just the right words, and now we’re gonna find someplace safe nearby to hide. Until this mess calms down enough. ”

“Then what are you going to do after the commotion calms down? ”

“What can I do? The Earl is going to pay for this. ”

“ ……. ”

“Just get the construction fee and we’re done here. I know, it’s mean. But I can’t help it. There’s nothing you can do. What else am I supposed to do here? What the hell can I do? ”

“ ……. ”

Lloyd says I can’t help it.

Xaviel’s gaze on Lloyd got cold.

I felt a chill when I pulled it out of my mouth.

“Is this who you are, Lloyd? ”

“What?”

“I’m disappointed.”

That was it.

Xaviel turns away.

I drew my sword.

Podong and the droplet staring at the argument, not knowing what to do, asked Haman.

“Do you want to fight with me? ”

“Podong!”

“Droplets!”

“Howl!”

All three illusions nodded together.

Xaviel smiles faintly.

“Very well. Let’s go then. ”

“Kiss! Room! Ha!”

Paaaaaah!

Xaviel runs away carrying three phantom bells.

Quick, distant back view.

Beyond that, a message came to my mind.

Ding-dong.

[Xaviel Asrahan is deeply disappointed in you.]

[Xaviel Asrahan’s affection for you has fallen by 5.]

[Current relationship with Xaviel Asrahan: +1]

[Amity with Xaviel Asrahan has been downgraded from 1 to 1.]

[Relationships with key people have slightly deteriorated, but RP cannot be driven accordingly.]

[Current RP: 1901]

“ ……. ”

Looks like Xaviel was pretty upset this time.

Lloyd bites his lip.

‘This is crazy.’

Not only myself, but Xaviel hates fighting that monster.

Of course, I knew Xaviel was strong.

But now this is a situation that you don’t remember.

An article of your own blood.

In that novel, Xaviel never fought Gigantan.

Moreover, Xaviel is not the same master as in fiction.

Although it has triple circles, technically, it’s still just Sword Express.

If we are unlucky, we can rush for justice and face a sudden and vain end.

‘I can’t do that. ’

I didn’t want to lose Xaviel that way.

Because she’s pretty?

Of course not.

‘The reason is simple. He’s the most useful one! ’

He will be his greatest asset in the future.

A person who will become a sovereign master and support the realm.

Moreover, he was an incompetent construction equipment right now.

How convenient it was because of the firing.

I wasn’t worried about drilling a hole in the ground.

And even the labor costs are free! ’

If you feed him, he’ll work like a cow without complaint.

I didn’t want to lose that all-weather construction equipment.

I didn’t want to put him in danger.

That’s why.

‘Oh, really. I raised you so much! ’

He grumbled and ran behind Xaviel dozens of times.

I tried to stop him somehow.

Then I came all the way here.

After being frozen, I got to Warden 23.

He fled with the Sentry Post and made a rampage towards Xaviel.

“Hey! That’s enough! Let’s bounce! ”

“I don’t want to.”

Percussion!

Xaviel, who just landed over there, runs side by side in the same direction.

I blew up my refusal as if it were natural.

There are tendons on Lloyd’s forehead. I shouted.

“Hey!”

“Yes.”

“Are you a pervert? Do you even have a fetish hero? ”

“Yes?”

“What an example! Am I wrong? You think you can stop that now? ”

“I don’t know about that. However”

Uahhhhhh!

Xaviel, who was running with power, stops.

I turned around.

A giant monster chasing this way.

Gigatitan’s overwhelming toe falling down.

You swing your sword as you face it.

You shoot your way out from the front.

Kuaang!

Xaviel’s body twists with a fierce shock wave. He’s pushed back and forth, nearly 20 meters. You burn both eyes vigorously as you get closer to balance.

“If I don’t fight, there won’t be anyone to stop it. ”

It’s a bad voice, but it’s a smart voice on Manawa.

“Phew.”

I don’t know who’s a novelist.

Justice and awkwardness are severe.

But there was no time to blame it.

I couldn’t convince him any more.

“Hey! Move! ”

Whoo-hoo!

Perhaps Xaviel was annoyed by the constant use of waves.

Gigatitan launches a full-scale attack on Xaviel.

You swing your front foot like a club, the main weapon.

Kuaang!

Xaviel quickly dodges.

However, the anterior leg clumps flocked to Xaviel with no rest.

Slug, caw! Kwack!

Every time a club lands on the ground, the ground splits open and the rocks turn to dust.

A tremendous shock wave and debris shook the area.

Every time, Xaviel slowly dodges his body.

At the same time, it got further and further away from here.

You lead Gigatitan to it.

It looks like you’re worried this side might be involved in an attack on you.

“That idiot! ’

He draws Aggro out in public.

No matter how hard he tried, he seemed to die.

So my heart thumped more.

‘This is why I told you not to fight, but to hide. ’

But now it’s too late to take it down.

I had to do something.

If not, Xaviel will be defeated.

If you’re unlucky there, you might get hit together like a 1 +1 set menu.

‘I can’t do that. ’

Lloyd shakes his head vigorously.

I tried to stay calm.

‘To overcome this situation, first we need to analyze the field. ’

I wiped off the sweat drops flowing into the snow.

I rolled my eyes quickly.

I settled my mind.

‘First and foremost, Xaviel can’t hurt him. ’

Xaviel’s slash literally cuts through steel.

But the shooting didn’t work.

It was because of the thick skin of Gigatitan.

‘It looks just like a shrimp. Or crayfish with club legs. ’

Crustaceans.

The unique rigid and tough shell was the problem.

‘Javier might be able to do something if he can get through that. ’

Lloyd examines Gigatitan’s tumultuous figure.

But the night sky was so dark.

Moreover, it was difficult to determine where Gigatitan was thin and fragile.

‘Oh, if that were a rock or a ground floor, I’d be able to see all the thin ground by measuring……. ’

I was filled with regret.

Then I suddenly flashed in my head.

Wait a minute. ’

Lloyd pauses as he sighs.

Unbelievable, I came up with a new idea.

Continuous ideas and ideas erupt in an explosive fashion.

Surveying.

Land Recognition Skill.

A skill that conceals the durability and fragility of the earth.

An optional honey-like skill that lets you see all the qualities up to 5 meters deep.

But does that apply to him? ’

I thought maybe.

Survey of living organisms.

It was an attempt I had never attempted.

I never expected it to be.

But what if it does?

Nuclear gain.

You don’t have to. Just stop.

It’s only a matter of time.

‘Let’s give it a try. Survey!’

It was in anticipation just in case.

Lloyd tightens his eyes.

You raise your gaze at Gigatitan while activating your surveying skills.

Tsutztsu!

[Initiate scan.]

With an unbelievable message, there began to emerge data like a map core from all over Gigattan’s body.
