Chapter 261
Giant King Regia
The giants moved all at once, as if the earth itself had risen in anger. They charged forward in blind frenzy, but Kyou stood against them, overwhelming them with crushing force and shattering their ranks one after another. However, the giants did not retreat. Instead, they attacked again, and this time, they were not Kyou's enemies… but his allies on the battlefield.
The scene resembled a clash of beasts against beasts, a primitive collision that made the heavens tremble.
"Should I bring out Kareng?"
Arthur thought calmly, his eyes watching the battlefield that seemed to be nearing its end. The air was saturated with dust and destruction, while the echoes of the clashes continued to reverberate.
At that moment, an enormous roar tore through the area from the middle of the battlefield.
Arthur slowly turned toward the source of the sound.
There was a giant who was different from the others; larger in size, deeper in presence, and heavier in dignity.
His mere presence was enough to make everyone around him feel an invisible weight.
"So… are you trying to summon me with that foolish shouting?"
A calm smile appeared on Arthur's face.
"Yes, my king."
"Let's go, Kareng."
"Yes, my king."
Two shadows shot through the heart of the dark sky, moving side by side at pure, insane speeds.
One carried dark wings, while the other possessed demonic wings, as though the night itself had split apart to make way for them.
"Soul Destroyer!"
Arthur shouted as he swung his sword toward the giant's head.
The giant raised his sword, a massive piece of sharp metal nearly the size of a moving tower.
Compared to it, Arthur's sword looked ridiculously small; a sword that, at least in appearance, would not even be suitable for cleaning a giant's teeth.
But…
In the giant's eyes, that sword was something entirely different.
It was a terrifying sword, capable of destroying the entire earth.
As for its wielder…
In the giant's eyes, he appeared to be a magnificent being, a giant whose size and presence surpassed the heavens and the earth.
An entity that, if he merely moved a finger, could crush galaxies and shatter worlds.
Thus was embodied the majesty and dignity of the king who had never accepted defeat…
Arthur Narin.
Arthur swung his sword, and the two swords collided.
The sound of the impact echoed so loudly that it seemed as though it could be heard across the farthest reaches of Japan.
In a single fleeting moment, the small sword moved through the giant sword like a hot knife cutting through butter.
It carved its way through without resistance, splitting the giant sword into two halves, then continued toward the giant's head, cleaving it apart with a single strike.
"Not yet!"
Arthur shouted excitedly, then snapped his fingers toward Kareng and threw the sword toward him.
Kareng caught the sword and stood before the giant's stomach, swinging it with force and splitting his body in half from the middle.
"Body Destroyer."
Arthur clapped his hands together, and the giant's body began to crumble, gradually disappearing until nothing remained but dust that vanished into the air.
The Body Destroyer technique…
was a weak technique in essence, but it was extremely useful to Arthur.
It was a technique that allowed him to break down the body of anything or any entity, provided that it was already dead.
It could be considered a primitive version of the Blood Demon technique; the latter absorbed power until nothing remained but dust, while Body Destroyer was simply a destructive technique that worked on the dead and on those weaker than its user, reducing their bodies to fragments within a few seconds.
"Hmm…"
"What is it, my king?"
Kareng and Kyou spoke at the same time, standing behind Arthur; Kyou to his right and Kareng to his left.
"I defeated the leader, but the gate didn't close… Does this mean…"
Before he could finish his thought, a powerful and pure magical aura erupted from within the gate, surging toward the outside world.
"So this isn't the leader… The leader is still inside."
Arthur calmly sighed as he looked at the glowing gate.
"Kareng, stay here for security and safety. Kyou, stay here and help the Japanese Hunters. If Sung Jinwoo comes, tell him what happened. I'm going to visit the bastard leader… the one hiding inside while sending only his subordinates."
He smiled calmly, then flew toward the gate and passed through it.
In the next moment, Arthur found himself inside a massive castle, enormous in size and built in the authentic style of the Victorian era.
The towering walls, ornate columns, and heavy shadows gave the place an oppressive sense of dread.
"Am I going to meet the damned Dracula? Or what? Or perhaps Diculiret de Nanro… Hmm."
Arthur spoke calmly to himself as he listened to the sound of loud laughter coming from ahead.
He moved forward with steady steps until he reached the source of the sound.
There was a man with a huge, muscular body, bound by chains and spikes all over his body.
{You… You are not the Shadow Monarch, nor one of the Monarchs, nor even one of the Rulers. Who are you?}
"This question keeps coming up… If I got one point every time I heard it, I'd be a millionaire by now…
I am Arthur Narin."
{Arthur Narin? And you expect me to know who you are?}
"Didn't you ask for my name? Did you expect me to be one of your old acquaintances whose time has long since passed? Damn, you're stupid. So… you're the Giant King, aren't you?"
{Fine, it doesn't matter. Since you are here, this proves your true worthiness… Free me, boy, and I will help you.}
After making this declaration, the Giant King shouted strange words, and a powerful light appeared between the two of them, forming a glowing chain.
|Arthur, this is the Ancient Giant Oath of not lying.|
"You want to place the Ancient Giant Oath upon me… and upon yourself as well?"
{Clever boy… Yes, that is what I want so that I can make you trust me.}
"Fine, I agree."
After Arthur made certain that the oath would not harm him, the oath was bound between the two of them.
"So?"
{I want to help you in the coming war against the other Monarchs.}
The Giant King began recounting things that Arthur had not known.
"Alright… So you're saying that the Earth will be destroyed by the Monarchs who control the rest of the monsters, and that you want to help because they betrayed you… or something like that."
{Yes.}
"Hmm… Tell me one thing. Since you're being honest now, in your current state and situation… you're weaker than me, right?"
{Yes, you could say that.}
Arthur smiled slyly, then threw a small pill into the Giant King's mouth.
|Arthur, you bastard!|
{What is this? What did you do? What did you do to me?!}
The Giant King shouted as he coughed violently, then slowly closed his eyes.
|You have enslaved the Giant King as your subordinate using the Absolute Enslavement Pill. Which path do you want to follow?|
"The same path as Kyou."
|Command executed. The chosen path has been followed.|
With this notification inside Arthur's mind, the Giant King opened his eyes and looked at him.
"My king."
"Yes?"
"Thank you for taking me as your lowly servant, great king."
Arthur smiled calmly as he looked at the Giant King who had completely submitted to him.
"Cain, what about the shard in his neck?"
|It has been completely purified.|
Arthur raised his hand and easily cut through the chains.
The Giant King stood up, three times taller than Arthur and much larger than him.
"Can you shrink your body?"
"No, my king."
Arthur thought for a moment, then smiled as he looked at the Giant King…
