I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

71 – Guardian of Black Steel

Around 5 minutes after I started retreating from the wild black steel giant──

Kung-! Thud-!

“Nyaaang…!!! I’m still following you!!!”

──We were being chased by a giant.

“The giant would not be able to see us as we would have swerved in the middle of the run… How could he be able to follow us accurately?”

As Krysia said, the black iron giant was not directly visible.

However, seeing that the giant’s footsteps that we hear as we continue to move do not move away at all, we can see that the giant can pinpoint our location fairly accurately.

‘Probably, it’s because of the ability called In the function section of the giant you just appraised….’

I recalled the information about the giant I found out using the Gift [Appraisal A].

‘…… It’s a really boring ability. It’s good enough to say that it’s the highest rank among B-rank monsters. There is no grade for physical strength because it is a golem, but…. Rather more terrifying. It’s because I’m not tired.’

Since the Correction and the Correction were combined, it became a terrible thing that the ability of the giant, who had been complying with it, increased by almost two stages.

‘In addition, it has the ability to restore…. If that is included, it would be impossible to pierce the defense and break the core unless it is a one-point penetrating magic trick or an attack at the level of advanced magic….’

A terrifying defensive power combined with the maximum durability, especially for B+ grade, and physical and magic resistance unique to Heuksteel… I involuntarily frowned at the thought of breaking through that and destroying the giant’s core.

‘If I build up the magic of the great sword I stole from Professor Casimes to its maximum power, I think I’ll be able to pierce that defense and break the core, but…. Before that, it will be crushed by the weight of more than several tons….

… Tsk! If it wasn’t for the spy of the Demonic Church, I’d be able to catch it fairly easily using gifts and magical powers.’

Right now, the amount of magic that can be used as Lee Seon-woo is so small that even intermediate magic, let alone advanced magic, runs out after using it once or twice.

I know it’s unavoidable to avoid the early attention of the Demonic Church, but… Frustrating is frustrating.

… Well, that doesn’t mean he’s stupid enough to reveal his hidden power in a virtual dungeon, where the attacking scene from outside must be recorded.

‘… Instead, when fighting the spy of the Demonic Church, I will take this stuffiness and hit it! I’m going to hit you with a right straight!’

When I’m swallowing my frustration, deciding to defeat the spy.

Nice, who was running side by side, started talking to me.

“Seonwoo-nyang, what should we do now? The opponent is a golem that never gets tired. Even if we keep running away like this, we’ll only get tired first. Besides, even if we don’t know what it is, we have a means to accurately track us, so it’s impossible to hide. Like that.”

“That’s…”

As Nice said, if you keep running away like this, you will eventually be caught. On the contrary, I can’t even resist when I’m tired.

‘But if I fight again without thinking, it will only repeat the previous one… ‘

How can there be no way…

At that time I was thinking about how to defeat him with the means I have now.

Char, who was quietly in her arms, opened her mouth with a determined expression.

“…I will stay.”

“…What?”

“I’ll stay and wait for a while. In the meantime, use the escape stone. If it’s 10 seconds, I’ll do anything to stop it.”

“But…”

“I’m fine. I’ve already experienced virtual death in a duel with Jessar Saiger during the entrance exam.”

Char said so resolutely, but even if it was virtual, it would not be difficult for her to experience death.

According to what I’ve heard from other students who have actually experienced death, it’s a terrible feeling they never want to go through again.

I didn’t want to let my friend go through it as much as possible.

I tightened my arms and hugged her tighter to stop her shar from rushing at her titan at any moment.

“…Sorry, Char. I can’t allow it. I don’t want to make you experience that.”

“I’m sorry…”

Shar opened her eyes wide, reminding her of her face, and then she stopped moving away from her arms and became very calm.

‘But if there’s no way to defeat him…. In the end, Char will carry out her proposal, which she did herself….’

I didn’t want to go to such a situation, so I looked around desperately for a way to defeat him, and saw the thick pillars and high ceilings around me.

At that moment, a strategy flashed into my mind.

‘Uh… ? If this works… Will it happen… ? … No, it will work!’

Based on the strategy that flashed in the moment, I thought of the means I could use at the moment and made a more detailed plan, and I was convinced that I could defeat him with the help of my colleagues.

“Wait…! I’ve come up with a good plan…! First of all, Krysia! Could you possibly grow a plant with a characteristic called…?”

“……Umm….Yes! I can do it~! I don’t have the seeds of that plant right now, so I have to use up most of my magic right now, but… I can do it with just one tree~!”

“Okay! Then, Nice! … Can you use ‘this’ to stop it’s movement for more than 10 seconds?”

“Huh…? This is…”

I took it out of my backpack and handed it over to Nice.

Nice carefully examined what I handed over and nodded brightly.

“Nyan! With this, you can tie him up for a while! …But you need to stop his movements while using this…”

As Nice put on a slightly troubled expression and blurted out his words, I cast my gaze at Shar, who was blinking in my arms.

“…Char, can you do it?”

“…Yes! I will definitely do it.”

“Okay, I believe!”

She nodded her head as she looked at Char, who spoke with a determined expression, with trustworthy eyes.

“Start the operation now!”

Immediately, preparations for the operation began.

******

Kung-!Kung-!

-Ohhhhh…… !

The black giant constantly moved its large, heavy body to eliminate intruders that invaded the territory it was guarding.

How heavy the giant’s steps are, the giant’s surroundings shake so much that most people can’t stand properly….

The giant’s footsteps never stopped.

-Ohhhhh……

The giant had the ability to vaguely know the location of an enemy who invaded its territory.

The precision of the detection was lacking, but at least I could tell which direction the intruder was and how far away they were.

Again, that was enough for a tireless giant.

If we continue to pursue the intruder like this, we will surely catch up someday. Then, he swings his iron arm at the intruder who has exhausted his strength from being chased relentlessly, and it ends when he crushes the intruder like a bug.

However, the intruders this time should be called wise or reckless. It seems that he made a choice to face the giant before his physical strength ran out.

Kung! Kung! Kung!

The giant noticed that the intruders were not moving with his senses and hurried his steps slightly.

Then, in the middle of the road of juxtaposed pillars, he spotted a golden intruder glaring at him.

Ohhhhh──!!!!!

Whoop-!

As soon as the giant spotted the intruder, he rushed over and slammed his huge, hard fists down at the intruder.

This golden intruder has the ability to injure its hardened body, but… Beyond the giant’s ability to recover, it wasn’t to the point of threatening his life.

So the giant didn’t care much and threw out his iron fist.

“【Meteor Radius ──!!!】”

The Quagga River——!!!

Shar used his talisman to absorb the power contained in the giant’s iron fist, sending the attack to the ground.

“Huh…!!!”

Add your own power to the power contained in the giant’s iron fist–

Kwagakak——!!!

──The giant’s fist, which was embedded in the hard stone floor, was driven ‘deeper’.

Ohhhhh… !!!!!!

“──It’s great!!!!!”

Shar put the giant’s arm into the ground almost up to the wrist, pulled out all his magic power and superhuman strength to the limit, and stopped the giant from desperately pulling his arm off the ground.

But the giant had higher strength than Char.

So this confrontation only lasted for a very short time, less than 5 seconds, but—

“──Nyaaang!!!”

“──Beep!!!”

——That short time was enough time to complete the mission entrusted to the purple night cat and the pure white divine beast.

“Nyahahahaha! It’s like riding a ride!”

Varnish wrapped around ‘something’ in the hand of a giant running around the left half of the giant, who is fast, nimble, and light enough to make the sound of slicing the wind.

“Beep!!!”

By using wind magic, wind wrapped around the whole body and increased the flight speed, the white face also grabbed the ‘something’ that Nice was holding with its claws and began to wrap itself around the giant’s right half.

5 Seconds was enough for two people to entwine ‘something’ around the giant’s body, from its feet to its shoulders.

“…Keew!!!”

After confirming that the two had completed their mission, Char loosened her trembling arms as her muscles burst from pulling her strength to her limit.

That meant the release of the enraged giant, but—

O,hhhhh…… ?!?!

──The giant couldn’t move.

Tidding! Teddying!

It was because the ‘thread’ that was entwined around the giant’s entire body, from its feet, legs, knees, and thighs to its waist, arms, shoulders, and joints, blocked the giant’s movements.

Ohhhhh─!!!

The giant had the strength to match his height of over 10 meters, but….

Connected to a thick pillar around it, the thin thread that drew the shape of a spider’s house remained unbroken despite the giant’s overwhelming strength.

Watching the giant tied to the artificially reproduced cobweb struggling to break the thread, the night cat drew a cheerful smile.

“Nyaha ♪ No matter how strong it is, the special wire made by twisting the spider’s web of the same B-rank monster, ‘Steel Spider’, won’t break easily ♪ Well, it’s impossible for more than 20 seconds, but–“

──That’s enough.

Saying that, the cat lifted his head and looked up at the high ceiling.

And there——

“…….”

──Lee Seon-woo, holding a huge sword with both hands, stepped on the ceiling and stood upside down.

Ugh-

Lee Seon-wu, who was standing upside down on the ceiling by transforming the lingering magic power in the soles of his feet into a very fine hook, confirmed that Char, Nice, and Baekmyeon successfully carried out the operation, and retrieved the magic power from the soles of his feet.

“…Go.”

Following the rules set by the world, falling down──

“【No end of life】”

──Unleashes a magic trick that distorts the laws of the world.
