Vol 5: Chapter 21

I honestly couldnt believe my eyes when I saw End Fang on the ground. I couldnt even imagine what could possibly cause such a giant to fall.

I usedFar Sightand saw ivy coiled around End Fangs left hindfoot.World Rulerinformed me that it was extremely heavy. I have never heard of the existence of gravity magic or similar magic, so how is it possible?

Tsk, this thing is just getting in the way!

Saint Knight Kingdoms uniform was an obstacle to running, so I took it off. The blade-resistant uniform would certainly be handy in human combat, but against a giant monster which can one-shot you, it just impedes you.

It would have been a problem if I was recognized while climbing the cliff, so I had to wear the uniform. But right now, the uniform has already served its purpose. Ill put it here for the time being, and return it to Wilhelm later.

Dressed in a rather shabby manner short-sleeved shirt, long trousers, and a tool bag fastened around the waist I jumped off the cliff.

WOOOOOOOOW!

I usedWind Magicto glide through the air, and then landed on a tall building.

I landed about 1 km away from End Fang.

At that moment, I saw a huge black blade rising and towering up to the sky.

** Lev Magic Empire Red Gate Frontline **

Grenjido thought everything was going too well.

After regaining his spear, he kept thrusting into the beasts defenseless belly over and over again. His attacks eventually broke the mana around the stomach, cutting off the squirming fur, and injured the flesh.

Within a few seconds, the stomach area was bloodied. But looking at the towering body of End Fang, the wound Grenjido inflicted might be no more than a small cut.

End Fang was trying to get back up and failing. But Grenjido just had a feeling this was not how the beast was going to die.

Hence, he thought this situation was going too well in their favor.

HAAA!

Grenjido thrusted the long spear into the beasts belly and pushed even deeper. When his spear had sunk about 30cm deep, Grenjido suddenly shouted orders to his men.

KNIGHTS!! RETREAT AT ONCE!

Grenjido didnt know if it was instinct or a premonition borne of the Holy Kings bloodline, but he gave the instruction to withdraw even though the situation was favourable to them.

The Knights Order seemed bewildered at the command, but Grenjidos orders were absolute.

While dodging End Fangs thrashing legs, the knights quickly distanced themselves.

Your Majesty! What happened that blood!?

The knights were surprised to see the blood-soaked Grenjido.

This is the monsters blood. And Im not the Holy King anymore.

Right when Grenjido tried to flick the knights forehead, he saw it.

A huge black blade towered behind End Fangs head.

Words escaped Grenjidos mouth despite himself.

Not right now.

Mimino, who was the key figure in End Fangs collapse, was still standing in the place where she was caught by Friedrich.

She carried plenty of healing and restorative medicine, but she didnt stand a chance in directly damaging End Fang.

All she could do was pray that End Fang could be defeated while the Heroic Armed was still in effect.

The effective time was 512 seconds. Just over 8 minutes.

There was still time left.

Eh?

The Quagmire How Tough she held in her hand was shaking strongly.

You set a target to the device and set how much to increase the weight of the target with the arrow on the golden disc. After that, you easily squeeze the lever on the hand dynamometer-shaped tool.

It is unknown exactly how it works.

Muge discovered how to use this Heroic Gear, and Mimino used it with the arrow set to maximum this time. The result was that the weight was increased to the extent where even a giant like End Fang collapsed.

Eeeehhh!?

However, every action has a reaction. And fuel is required to generate the force.

Quagmire How Tough didnt have an easy-to-understand fuel slot like Reflective Mirror, and Muge didnt have enough time to investigate that much. Naturally, there are circuits for activating the magic tool inside, and using it at maximum output will cause a corresponding reaction.

In addition, no matter how robust a tool is, it is still a tool at the end of the day. It will have deteriorated over the passage of many years.

Uwaa!?

The Heroic Gear that Mimino held exploded from the inside. A thick liquid along with metal and ore melted by high heat flowed out and dripped on the stone pavement.

In other words, that was the moment when the effect of Quagmire How Tough was cut off.

Whether or not 512 seconds have passed since the activation, if the original magic tool is broken it will be ineffective.

The black discolored ivy that had coiled around End Fangs left hindfoot regained its bright green color. At the same time, it was snapped by End Fangs bulging internal muscles.

Gururu

End Fang had been released from its restraint.
