chapter 130
130. can you hear me?
“Kreuit! One day, I will truly kill you! So that even the fragments of the body cannot be found…!”
Whirly Rick!
That was Hellperion’s last voice.
The head of Hellperion, which had lost its torso, did not offer any resistance.
Because it was completely swallowed up by the seal between me and Kroyton.
“Let’s dispose of the two pieces where no one can take them out again.”
We follow the words of Croyton.
The severed head and body of Hellperion were thrown into separate craters.
with a plop! rumbling……
It wasn’t long before Hellperion escaped from the Ice Valley of a Thousand Years.
It was again submerged under the lava of the volcanic zone.
* * *
“What the hell happened? Master?”
Grendel’s question caught everyone’s attention, including me.
“Where are you asking?”
At that, Kroyton gave a benevolent smile, the same as usual.
Grendel asked again with a sullen face.
“How did you get here?”
“How come. I came by boat. It’s very far.”
“……”
Grundel realized.
That Creighton is playing a joke.
It was originally like this.
It is a pattern in which you have to ask and ask for a long time to finally get the answer you want.
At that, Grendel looked at me and asked for help.
I also have a lot of things I want to hear now.
I accepted her request for assistance.
“I’m sure you didn’t come on vacation by boat. Isn’t there a reason you’ve come such a long distance?”
“Haha. Lee Yoo-ra… There is. Hellperion, the giant of fire, had some business to do.”
“It seems so. But why do you have business with Hellperion? I’m more curious about that.”
And Croyton’s answer that followed.
“I was the fourth arm of Hellperion. Precisely from his severed arm, I was born.”
“……!”
Everyone froze at the answer.
* * *
shocking answer.
Me, Orhel, and Grendel, of course.
Even Magmaros, the king of fire spirits, was only talking about funds.
I knew he was a master of fire magic.
Even when I appeared as a playable character, I always heard a lot of comments from the extras around me that my skill at handling flames was no joke.
Even the demons of the inferno suffered a fatal blow from Kroyton’s flame magic and trembled.
‘Still, I didn’t think of this kind of development…’
But at the same time, it made sense.
Haven’t you personally confronted Hellperion before?
Hellperion’s majesty, to be honest, I had a strong feeling that it was too much for me.
The physical power of a heavy fist with each blow.
Enough magic ability to take away Magmaros and even my fire magic initiative.
And even the durability of the crazy body.
And that wasn’t all.
In fact, the sealing magic prepared by Magmaros was a more unstable method than I thought.
It will be released after a short time… The way Magmaros must remain in this volcanic area and continue to hold on to Hellperion.
However, the moment Kroyton appeared.
All our plans went awry.
That too in a very good way.
It was dumbfounded at first.
Without knowing this, looking at what Kroyton has done.
Because Creuyton had perfected and demonstrated a near-perfect sealing technique that even Magmaros had not been able to do.
A mediocre wizard can do what even the fire spirit king couldn’t do?
It was never easy.
However, if Kroyton is a wizard born from the arms of Hellperion…
‘It must be rather strange that I don’t have that level of ability.’
It must be an existence that inherited the power of the giants.
After that, it felt like everything was explained.
To us who were perplexed, Kroyton smiled awkwardly.
Especially looking back at me.
“Lord Rohan has nothing to say even if he had ten mouths. He should have said something beforehand.”
Instead of me, Grendel got angry.
“That’s right! Why didn’t you keep your mouth shut!”
“Isn’t that what I said to you?”
“I didn’t know either!”
“Is it okay if you don’t know?”
“This guy’s inspiration!”
“Heh heh. Are you saying you’re going to try again after a long time? It’s been a while since I’ve seen our disciple’s skills.”
“Let’s see, where!”
It’s a story full of love, but I wanted to leave it to you to enjoy it a little more.
There was a mountain of stories to hear now.
“I wish I could do that later.”
When I interrupted, Grendel took a step back with a fine brow furrowed.
Creighton chuckled.
“My disciple, now there are people who follow me more than this teacher.”
“Noisy.”
Grendel crossed his arms and sat down on a chair.
Only then did Creyton’s gaze return to mine.
“As you’ve seen, you know, but the disciple is so selfish.”
“I don’t know.”
“Really? Really? It’s normal to not listen three times a day…”
“Why did you hide it from me?”
“You mean I was born of a giant?”
“okay.”
Kroyton erased his mischievous expression and spoke again with a slightly frightened face.
“Because you handled the black thunder.”
black thunder……
With those words, I understood a little what Kroyton must have been thinking when he saw me in the past.
“I must have thought I was a person from the Giants.”
It has to be.
Wasn’t Creyton himself also born from the arms of a giant god?
Who can guarantee that there will be no more cases like yours?
In addition, he uses black light magic?
It was to the point where I thought it was rather strange that I didn’t suspect this.
And there was no guarantee that such a being would be hostile to the giants like Kroyton.
As I expected, Kroyton conceded.
“That’s right. That black thunder. It was definitely the power of the giants. Whether you belong to the giants or not. It wasn’t easy for me to confirm right away. But I can’t ask openly, so I have no choice but to hide my power. I won. My strength, and my heart…”
“It seems like it couldn’t be revealed. But.”
“Well?”
“I understand why you hid it from me. But I still don’t know why you came here.”
“Ah…the reason I came here?”
“okay.”
“This was a separate story from my concerns about you… To put it simply, it was to establish a settlement.”
Kroyton started talking a little older.
* * *
“The giant god Hellperion suffered the shame of having his arm cut off and sealed by Arlem. Obviously, as you can see, Hellperion became anger itself. Anger that only dreams of revenge against Arlem. And as I said before, I was born from his severed arm.”
He has been talking since the moment he was born.
“When I first came into the world and opened my eyes. Naturally, Arlem was the first to appear in front of me.
Even if it were me, I thought it would be a big worry.
Aren’t they born from the enemy?
Who would want to leave behind a scar that might put a knife in their back?
‘Honestly, if it were me…… I would have killed him on the spot when I could have killed him.’
It was just disgusting to see annoying things happening behind him.
However, Arlem’s choice seemed to be a little different from mine.
“Arlem decided to watch me. Even though I could have put an end to all my worries on the spot. However, as time passed, the questions grew in my head. Why didn’t they just kill me then? Why did they let me live? Even if it was Arlem, the son of the enemy would have wanted to nip it in the bud.”
Creighton recalled that time.
“Of course, I know the intention itself. I thought I didn’t want to punish those who didn’t commit any crimes. Isn’t it really complacent? , It literally bites and hangs viciously.”
He raised his gaze and looked at me.
“But, on the other hand, doesn’t that mean that even if the demons and the titans attack so viciously, I have the confidence to win? I am the one who saw Arlem myself.
“So you turned to the strong?”
“To be precise, I should say that I chose the one with strong mental power rather than force.”
“Physical strength….”
At Creyton’s words, Magmaros interrupted.
“So, are you saying that Arlem ordered you to come to fight Hellperion?”
“No. It’s not like that. I just wanted to cut it myself. The link with Hellperion. But as you can see, the giants never die. Unless Crotos, the king of the giants, dies.”
“Krotos. I’m afraid to even mention it… that’s a name.”
I don’t know who it is, but when the name pops up.
The face of Magmaros became contemplative.
Did Andrew, like me, hear that name for the first time?
I quietly asked Orhel.
“What is Krotos?”
“The first being to rise to the position of a god by himself. The king of giants. Or the ruler of everything. Mother nature itself, which never dies.”
“What, why do you have so many nicknames? Nicknames are rich.”
“That’s how troublesome it is.”
“By the way, where is he now?”
“I don’t know.”
Orhel also shook his head at the question.
Kroyton answered instead.
“No one knows about that. Only Arlem and the archangels who follow her know. Only that it was sealed with great effort is known. The problem is… that the seal is not infinite. Time As this progressed, Krotos was breaking the seal metallurgically and metallurgically with an unknown power… It’s not long now. According to what I recently found out, they believe in the resurrection of Krotos, and the giants are demons. It looks like you made a deal with them.”
When I heard the answer, I stroked my chin.
“If that guy named Crotos is released from the seal… what will happen?”
“No one will be able to stop it. Even Arlem cannot guarantee that they will fight Crotos twice and win both times.”
“……”
at that time.
Creighton, with a look of great surprise, opened his mouth again.
But… that surprise was a bit strange.
“Sir Rohan really surprises people every time I see him. The black thunder of the giants is not enough, so this time he even has the energy of Arlem. Seriously… how did he obtain it, by any chance?”
“……?”
what is this sound.
That was before the words came out.
