The GiantsAttack

Overwhelming.

Its strength was overwhelming.

Not that it was a violent strength. More than being violent, it was aggressive.

It wasnt attacking, it was simply removing obstacles.

It was that kind of a simple and pure strength.

The Cyclops movements were faster than youd imagine something with that gigantic of a figure could manage. If it werent for Serges acceleration magic, it could have been an immediate checkmate.

But apart from being able to avoid its attacks, what could they do?

Even if they attacked all out, they couldnt even reach the giants knees. Even if the giants skin took a blow from Gigs warhammer, it was elastic enough to repel the attack.

Excalibur!

Serges magic cut through space. But it only went as far as slicing through a single thin layer of the giants skin.

Fireball!

Boosted by her magical power, Rias magic bounced off the surface of the giants skin.

Rias nodachi, completely reinforced by magic, was also barely able to cause the giant to bleed.

Though even so, it probably still felt pain. The giant bellowed once again, beginning to retaliate in a rage.

A blow from its maul smashed the ground open, scattering debris through the room. Even when Ria built baths, she didnt damage the materials.

As a small fortune, the giants weapon and limbs were unable to catch anyone in the group. Of course, they were still under the effect of acceleration magic.

The giant was furious.

It didnt have the gods wisdom, it had their strength.

Whipping up a gale by swinging its maul, the debris became bullets. They werent able to prevent it at all.

Aaaaah-!

Ria roared. By using Body Reinforcement, she endured the stones bashing into her.

Rotating, she swung her blade at the giants ankle to sever the tendon.

It was useless.

The steel-like skin absorbed most of the slashs power, only being made to bleed slightly.

Still, Ria didnt give up. Without hesitating, she coated her blade with the venom she got from the Hydra. She continually slashed at the same spot over and over.

But she still couldnt see any effect. It resisted her Identify.

Serge, use Identify!

Sorry! I cant see it!

Even Serges Identify couldnt see through it. As a descendant of the fallen gods, it held abilities worthy of being called that.

The giants attacks continued in the meantime.

With one of its attacks, an innumerable amount of rocks flew towards Lulu. She couldnt avoid it.

Carlos intercepted the debris. The impact was enough to distort his shield.

But Lulu was safe. Carlos arm as well, it was just numbed.

Are you alright!?

Towards Carlos question, Lulu tried to answer.

Tried to.

The giant swung its arm, blowing Carlos away.

Like swatting an insect, it was a movement of casual irritation.

His shield was blown off, his armor crooked and warped from the strike.

Striking against the wall, the knight vomited blood.

Lulus recovery magic flew. However, the distorted armor prevented his flesh from being restored.

The giant followed him in pursuit.

Crunch. Carlos was crushed.

It was an instant kill. That was probably for the best.

Turning into particles of light, Carlos body disappeared, leaving behind the flattened armor. It was stained with blood.

His sword went somewhere.

Lulu thought of such an inconsequential thing. While she thought, she screamed.

How dare you.

How dare you do that to Carlos.

She had completely lost her cool. Though it wasnt pointed out much, Lulu was simplistic and hot-blooded. Otherwise, she wouldnt have left her hometown and come along with Ria on her journey.

Her aggressiveness was usually pinned down by her logic. Even so, someone just died in front of her. Thats all she thought about.

Refining her magical power. Composing the magic formula.

She raised her cane.

White Flame Prison!

An advanced fire magic that held great strength in this world. White flame serpents struck the Cyclops chest.

The giant bellowed. It was a cry of agony.

Its chest had reddened red-hot like minerals.

But that was all.

The giant loomed over the magician that bestowed such agony to it, brandishing its maul.

Lulu-!

As Rias cry reached her, the maul swung down.

Splat. Her body crushed, only the cane remained.
