A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Kaiyan watched in disbelief as the enlarged Canien rose partially from the ground, screaming towards the sky.

“Ihihihi! My power! After 200 years, I have finally regained my power! Kahaha!”

As Canien’s voice echoed, a black shockwave erupted, sending the debris of nearby buildings flying.

It was a situation that couldn’t be explained by a mere roar.

“Ugh! What is this…!”

Kaiyan had crouched low to avoid being thrown into the air by the shockwave, but the ground itself shattered, and he was propelled into the air by the force.

Even though his Blaze Armor was active, his entire body was tingling from the impact. Moreover, it seemed that the defensive magic cast by Rieka was not currently enveloping him.

It was perplexing whether this Canien was the same creature he had faced before, considering the confusion.

“Kaiyan, please!”

Turning his head in the direction of the voice, Kaiyan saw Rieka, who had apparently used a magic scroll, struggling as she floated away in a transparent sphere.

Fortunately, it seemed that there was no physical harm to her, but she appeared extremely anxious.

“Rieka! Run to the back! Staying here won’t help us!”

“But what can you do alone?”

“…Let me think. You know, right now, even if we stay together, it won’t make a difference.”

“…Alright! Please make sure to survive! If you die, I won’t just stand by!”

“Don’t worry! ‘Guardian of the Skies!'”

Turning his head back to the creature, Kaiyan activated his title, causing the body that had been flying away to abruptly stop.

“I never thought it would become such a monstrous creature. Well, it was a monster to begin with, so I should say it became an even bigger monster.”

If he had known, he would have used elixirs to finish it off earlier, even if it meant conserving his strength. Regrets surged through him like a torrent. If only he had defeated it back then…

“No, now is not the time for regret…”

But his grip on his sword tightened.

“But how can I defeat such a gigantic creature…”

The creature that had completely emerged from the ground made the Basilisk, which he had thought was a huge monster, look small in comparison. Moreover, just by screaming, it caused this level of destruction. In terms of combat power, it might even surpass the Basilisk.

But now, as someone who wasn’t an Aura Master, could he defeat such a formidable monster?

“Hehehe! I’ll sweep away the human world! How dare you steal my power and torment me! Kyahaha!”

The creature laughed wickedly and indiscriminately swung its tentacles toward the remnants of the destroyed buildings nearby.

Kwaaaang!

“At the very least, one of those tentacles would be equivalent to a Basilisk’s tail strike. Even with Blaze Armor, I can’t withstand a direct hit.”

As he observed the creature’s actions, the Basilisk, which had swept away hundreds of people in one attack, suddenly seemed cute in comparison.

Kaiyan had initially thought that the last opponent he would face was a gigantic monster, but it was unbelievable that such a creature existed on the Eunasia continent. It was strange that rumors of such a monster’s presence hadn’t spread.

“Huoo… But it has to be done. There could be thousands, if not more, people outside.”

Suppressing the trembling fear within and utilizing the effects of his title, Kaiyan approached the figure.

Ignoring the warnings echoing in his senses, urging him to flee without looking back.

As he got closer to the figure, he noticed those enormous black eyes that alone were enough to make his head spin.

“Huh? You’re that annoying insect from earlier! To withstand the shockwave, aren’t you impressive? Kyahaha!”

“…Is that your true form? The power you mentioned earlier?”

“No! This is a power stronger than my original one! It’s all thanks to you! Thanks to you defeating Muliaron and Kabien, I was able to gain all the sealed power! Kihhihi!”

The figure claimed to have absorbed the power that should have been divided among three.

“…This is troublesome.”

It was already difficult to imagine dealing with three figures of moderate strength, let alone facing someone like Canien. Just the sight of him was enough to make Kaiyan feel dizzy, and the odds of him winning in such a situation were very low.

Moreover, the Aura Enhancement skill might still be on cooldown, preventing him from using it.

“I’ve never faced a creature stronger than a large monster before…”

Internally, despair surged, and his head instinctively lowered. But…

“Even if I die, I won’t run away. At least let’s buy some time.”

Now that he thought about it, he had repeated the cycle of running away countless times until he grew to this level of strength. But running away again after becoming this powerful felt wrong.

“I am…”

Kwaaak!

Intense heat emanated from the sword as if it would start bleeding at any moment.

The overwhelming despair that had risen was suppressed by the scorching heat, sinking deep within him.

“A hunter of monsters…”

His eyes, even redder than the Blaze Armor that enveloped his entire body, were fixed on Canien. He raised his sword towards him as if to say that he wouldn’t yield, even if it turned out to be a futile struggle.

“I’m not prey; I’m a predator.”

“Hehehe! You’re indeed an interesting human! Very well! Let’s start by killing you, which will lead to the destruction of the human world! Die!”

A massive tentacle lunged at him with incredible speed.

How strong must one be to maintain such a large tentacle at that speed? It raised questions.

As his body that had been hovering in the air descended rapidly, the immense tentacle passed above him, emitting a tremendous gust of wind.

Whooom!

Regardless of whether it hit him or not, just brushing against it meant he had to prepare to consume at least one elixir.

When he landed on the ground and looked up, Canien was grinning wickedly. This time, he sent three tentacles as if to say, ‘Try to dodge these!’
