Chapter 463 - Dismissed Warrior 3 (1/2)
Kiing! Kiing!
“Slowly! Be careful! Yes, stop there!”
Along with the sounds of machines running with magic, the harsh voice of the engineer could be heard.
All that noise was taking place in Brandon’s former Milton Royal Magic Tower.
Currently, it was the Katarina Magic Tower, the Royal Magic Tower of Symphonia, and the workshop for making Gigants.
“Completion of the right hand joint!”
“Left-arm is also done!”
Luke was seriously looking at the Gigant whose arms were being assembled one after the other.
The reason why he had gone there for a short while even though he was busy was because the Gigant that was currently being assembled was special.
A 4,000 fight, Hero class Gigant, Avenger.
The product whose production got delayed because of the war and founding was about to be completed.
“What about the core engine?”
At Luke’s question, Mute answered, “It will be assembled at the end of the day.”
An hour later, just as Mute said, Luke’s very own Avenger’s core engine got transported with a crane.
Despite having a 4,000 fight output, which was a lot higher than any Gigant, it was still 30 percent smaller than other Hero class Gigant’s core engine.
That was due to the result of applying the artificial magic stone developed by Erwin and the Taeul-ro knowledge provided by Zegal Soha.
“There was no problem with the power test. How about the start-up test?”
“Depending on the degree of resistance of the joints and drive, the output might not be as good as we assume, so a start-up will give a good insight.”
The new core engine was slowly mounted on the abdomen of Avenger.
The engineers immediately fixed it, and the Iron mages meticulously connected it to the body’s Ergen cable.
Luke, who wasn’t pleased with just watching, approached the Gigant closely to check each part of the connection to the Ergen cable.
After all the work was done, the core engine’s cover was sealed, and the internal and external armor got fixed.
“Finally, done!”
“Hahaha! Everyone worked hard!”
Iron mages and engineers cheered with a bottle of champagne.
It was because it was their first time to produce a Hero class Gigant, and Hero class Gigants took years to finish.
“Good work. I’ll give out the pay, so go and rest for a few days.”
As Luke congratulated them and looked at the Gigant, his eyes looked at the giant silvery Gigant. He was full of joy and anticipation.
‘In the future, this guy will change the history of the continent with me.’
Annihilate the Baroque Empire and defeat Arsene!
Luke, who was delighted, climbed into the cockpit of Avenger. He was going to maneuver it.
He would like to do not just simple movements but combat moves too.
The Sword Master Commanders were all scattered in different regions at the moment because of the supply of troops and recruitment.
Wheeing!
Luke started the Gigant by pouring out mana into the core engine.
When hundreds of magic circles got activated, both his eyes lit up along with the core engine.
The new Gigant had to be tamed.
Luke kept on repeating the same basic movements and then walked around the workshop.
Thud Thud!
‘This is amazing! The movement is smooth and light!’
The Gigants he had used in the past always gave out a little vibration when moving. However, Luke couldn’t feel it at the moment.
Not just the core engine but also the Gigant’s frame and overall balance seemed to have improved.
Luke, who decided that there was no problem in the movement, decided to take it for a battle and gave orders.
“Inform the commander in the military to bring their Hero class Gigants to the eastern fields of the Brandon city.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
When the messenger went with the commands, Luke went out of the castle.
While waiting for them to come, Luke decided to try out Avenger.
Shortly after Luke had gone to the eastern field, four trailers ran with a stream of dust and smoke.
The trailers contained four Hero class Gigants, Orion and Symphonia’s Sword Masters, Rogers, Philip, and the Gram brothers.
Another one was Hwang Bo-sung, a Fist Master.
He summoned his Puppet while the other Sword Master’s Gigants were boarded.
“It seems that after a long time, I am going to battle with Master.”
“Well, I don’t think it has been so long? Maybe your body just got stiff?”
While Luke laughed with Hwang Bo-sung, Reynold and Reynard were busy adjusting Orion.
“Hyung, this seems a lot better than Anubis. Isn’t the movement different?”
“We can’t help it. This isn’t a dedicated Gigant which had been made according to hyung’s skills.”
The Hero class Gigant, Anubis, that was used by the Gram brothers in battle wasn’t fully repaired.
Anubis was made from Altica Magic Tower, and since so many detailed and sensitive areas in the cockpit got damaged, repairing it wasn’t an easy task unless a high ranking wizard from Altica could be found.
So the two of them were given Orion, which was made by the Dark Moon Magic Tower.
“Great carpenters don’t need the right tools. Moreover, the purpose is for a battle to check the performance of Your Majesty’s Gigant, Avenger, right? So we don’t need to be too greedy.”
“Even then, I don’t want to get pushed back.”
Reynard already knew the extent of Luke’s skills.
He met him once in the war and heard stories that his brother had told.
However, he never had an equal footing battle with His Majesty.
Even with Duke Butler in the past, there was a pass-through with the brothers and decided to see who would be defeated.
“This side is ready, but are you all ready?”
“It will end soon, Your Majesty.”
After a while, Luke and his Sword Masters were ready to battle.
1 to 5.
Although they were all Sword Masters, Luke didn’t think that he would lose.
As Luke seemed relaxed, Rogers and Philip gulped.
They could feel that Luke’s skills seemed to have increased over the past war.
As Rogers and Philip refrained from any nasty attacks and watched Luke’s Avenger move, Hwang Bo-sung however rushed ahead with his Puppet and flew in to throw a Trinity Punch.
Grrrng!
A powerful pressure ruptured the air, and the ground erupted.
However, Luke, who was fully aware of Hwang Bo-sung’s skills, avoided the attack.
“Indeed, Count Hwang Bo-sung is being active right from the beginning.”
At the words of Rogers, Hwang Bo-sung responded, “When a strong man like Master is standing still, one must hit with their full power from the beginning. Once he notices my movements, I won’t be able to attack properly.”
“That is right.”
Philip and Rogers, who realized their mistake, wielded their swords and joined in to attack.
“Hahhaha! Your Majesty, forgive us in advance for scratching your Gigant!”
“I need to forgive you guys since you won’t be able to match me.”
After receiving Philip’s attack from the Gold Aura, Luke reached the right side of Rogers’ Orion who was ready to strike.
“Explosion!”
