Chapter 44.2 - Hundreds-Armed Giant (1/2)

Chapter 44.2 : Hundreds-Armed Giant

「Sorry that I’m late to the party, everyone. Those pesky goblins annoyed me to no end … But, all is well, I guess!」

「Goblins?」

I asked him in return. Come to think of it, what’s become of those goblins that invaded Algore?

「Come to think of it, how’s the situation with those goblins invading Algore?」

Maybe because he is similiarly worried about Algore too, Omiros asked that question of the werewolf.

「It’s okay. All of those ugly goblins were driven away by the soldiers that were summoned by that old man minstrel.」

Rietto replied.

Then, something jumped out to the watchtower.

The things that appeared were three soldiers equipped with round shields and swords. It seems those soldiers jumped to the watchtower without using the stairs.

「Spartoi!」

I unitentionally let out an admiring voice. These are the soldiers that could be summoned by my dear master.

「Summoned by the minstrel? He gave me this shield, too … Just who in the world is that minstrel?」

Omiros asked while touching his shield. The minstrel who gave that shield to Omiros was also the one who summoned the spartoi. All threads then suddenly connected in my head.

「AHAHAHA」

I unintentionally let out a smile.

「Regena?」

Omiros looked at me, laughing out of nowhere, with a puzzled face. But how can I not laugh in this situation?

I mean, now I understand everything that happened here. Everyone gathered in this place was by my dear master’s arrangement.

I then looked at Goz who was trying his best to prevent the short sword from stabbing him.

Why in the world was I scared by this kind of guy again? I mean, there’s nothing for me to fear anymore.

Even without my dear master by my side, he made these arrangements so that I had no need to fear the situation. If that was the case, then there was nothing to fear.

「Sword, back to my hand.」

I raised my hand and called back my sword.

Thus, the sword that was trying to stab Goz was now in my hand.

The relieved Goz gazed at me.

「Pu, so tiny. Not even a tenth of my dear master’s size.」

I sneered at him as I looked at his lower half.

I recalled the time when I was scolded by Kuna-sama for entering the bathroom when she was rinsing the back of my dear master.

My dear master’s little master was many times bigger than Goz’s.

Whether in sword, magic, or appearance, my dear master was a million times better than Goz. As if someone as insignificant as Goz could do anything against my dear master.

Nevertheless, it would have been really dangerous just now If I decided not to fight back. I drew my sword. It would be an easy win as long as I fought alongside Omiros. This sword gave me the power to fight.

Even if it was a mistake, I recalled that my body was still trembling whenever I saw Goz.

It was because I had no courage to fight back. Omiros was hurt because of my weak heart. Yes, it was all my fault.

But it’s okay now, my dear master’s smile has saved my heart.

Pointing my sword towards Goz, I declared with strength,

「Bring it on, Goz! I’m not scared of you anymore!」

Goz was retreating upon seeing my sword. I could see fear coloring his face.

「F*CKING HELL … ALL OF YOU … F%CKF%%CK」

Goz grumbled.

「Hey Omiros … Who the hell is that…」

Rietto was clinging on to Omiros and asking so as she saw Goz.

「That is Parish … He was morphing his face all this time with magic. This face now is his real face.」

「No way, that is Parish …」

Rietto shook her head as if she couldn’t believe what she heard just now.

「I see … So he is the terrifying opponent that you wanted to defeat no matter what, huh? In that case, it’s easy peasy.」

The werewolf said while looking at Goz. Not just the werewolf, there were also those spartoi.

This is the end for you, Goz.

「F%CK … IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU, THEN EVERYTHING ELSE SHALL BE DESTROYED!!」

After saying so, Goz took out a small bottle.

「It should have ended without me using this but … YOU FORCED ME TO DO THIS! COME FORTH, THE RETAINER OF GOD OF DESTRUCTION! COME FORTH AND DEVOUR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY!」

Goz threw the small bottle out of the watch tower.

「GUOOO!」

An extremely loud scream, which felt like it was going to pierce the heavens, resounded.

A black smoke rose from below the watchtower. From that black smoke, the figure of a giant with numerous hands appeared.

「What the…」

I unintentionally muttered. Looking around, I could see that everyone’s face was painted with fear.

「GAHAHA! BEHOLD, THE KIN OF THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION, THE HUNDRED-ARMED GIANT! NOT EVEN THE DARK KNIGHT CAN WIN AGAINST THIS GUY! So then, good bye!」

After saying so, Goz pushed us aside and disappeared from the stairs. We were too focused on the appearance of the Hundred-armed Giant to care about him.

The Hundred-armed Giant was looking at us.

「LIKE HELL WE CAN WIN AGAINST THAT!」

The werewolf screamed in fear.

Every one of us was filled with fear. The spartois, being the only ones who could move, charged ahead towards the Hundred-armed Giant. But they were caught by its numerous arms and eaten without being able to leave a scratch on it.

And then, one of its arms headed towards us.
