"...... Is that the rock giant?　It's quite different from what I've heard, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A huge humanoid dropped from a Barka magic airship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was dropped in the middle of the Reinzatz army position, and is now running amok.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Schneider, who was standing by my side, said so when he saw it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, that's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Reinsatz family had risen above all the other noble families as a supreme aristocrat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the Reinsatz family has never been arrogant or complacent about its position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, they always acted with a sense of crisis.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is probably because there was originally a powerful noble family above us, the Risortes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have ousted the Rizzolletes from the hegemonic aristocracy and have taken their place one step ahead of us in the alliance of the three aristocracies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, he did not think that this position as a high aristocrat was secure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, even after he became the Hereditary Nobility, he always paid attention to the information of other powers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Among them was the mysterious weapon of Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An unknown weapon that had been introduced in the war against the Northern Nobles and had brought down several cities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the rock giant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the information we gathered, we learned that the rock giant had been obtained from the Eastern world beyond the Great Snow Mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, how the rock giant was created and why it moved were completely unknown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, we did know one thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rock giants are moved by remote control.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are controlled from a distance using the user's magical power as the driving force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a very interesting point on the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a very interesting point on the battlefield, because while it has great advantages, it also has disadvantages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The advantage is the remote control itself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be a tremendous threat to be able to control a rock giant from a distance and attack an opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the remoteness was also a disadvantage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, being far away was also a disadvantage, because its movements were rather rough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was probably being controlled visually from a distance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, even if they attacked with their large humanoid bodies, they were limited to simple attacks such as stomping their feet or waving their hands around against small targets such as ordinary humans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When they tried to break down walls and buildings, they used rough methods such as ramming their bodies into them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is probably the reason why Valka began to use rock giants by dropping them from his airship as a "rock drop.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because of their inability to move precisely, they were dropped from above.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the countermeasure against this rock giant is simple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you are the leader, you can avoid their miscellaneous attacks and keep on attacking them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you do so, you have a good chance of winning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We had concluded so before the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And perhaps the men of Barca understood it as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why they have never attacked with rock giants in their previous battles with the Reinsatz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They do not want to be dealt with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what does this mean?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The movements of the rock giants now raging in the army of Reinzatz are by no means messy or rough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, they move quite well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Holding rock swords and wielding them in all directions as they attacked, it was hard to believe that they were just people grown up to be gigantic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if he was able to manipulate it with such precision.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. Even a few of us at the head of the family would have a hard time with that. I'll head for that rock giant myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, that won't be necessary."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, no, but ....... The damage to the Reinzatz army will continue to grow if the rock giants continue to do so. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't care. Our goal is the heads of the Barca brothers, Sergio. Right now, Ars Barca is still up in the sky. We cannot touch him. But conversely, they will not be able to activate the effect of the [sealing bracelet] from the other side."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. So you are saying that while Ars Varka is in the sky, we should go after the other brothers?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right. The rock giants are a nuisance, but their numbers are limited. Send some of the leaders to them and tell them to hold them back. There is no need to overreach. In the meantime, we'll take out Kyle Reed first."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's my boy Schneider.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure it's because he's been through so many battles in his life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, if our forces are damaged, we would focus on that part of the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that is not the way it should be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Our first priority is to achieve the objective of this battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It does not matter how much damage we do here, as long as we kill the Barka brothers, that is all that matters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If that is the case, it would be better to aim at the main battlefield rather than to panic over the rock giants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the first target should be Kyle Reed for sure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the radio broadcast is true, Kyle's contract with a higher spirit is troublesome.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His ability to single-handedly bring the Royal Allied Forces to a standstill is not to be underestimated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he was not without options.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fantasy flower that was used by the spirit of the plant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The plant, which blooms beautiful flowers from its thorny ivy, is said to induce such abnormalities as poison, paralysis, or sleep in those with whom its ivy is entangled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If such a plant is used here, even though there are many Reinzazu's army, they would be out of their hands and feet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is why they are taking countermeasures in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a magic called [Purification].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a sacred magic that can only be used by archbishops and above in the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Using this [Purification] has the effect of healing even the unholy magic power of the immortals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We had used this Purification in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once [Purification] is used, it remains effective for a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Normally, we would use this long effect time to undergo [Purification] at the church before going to the battle against the immortals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the effect of [Purification] will not be lost during the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it is important to note that [Purification] is not only effective against defilement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that [Purification] is effective to repel impure magic power, and at the same time, it also prevents abnormalities such as poison and paralysis to some extent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I say "apparently" because I didn't know about it until just the other day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because I had never had a chance to be subjected to the magic of [purification] before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Mr. Schneider was different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even before he became a high aristocrat, Schneider was the head of the Reinsatz family, which is a great aristocrat, and naturally, he had an outstanding amount of magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, Master Schneider was able to use [purification], which is said to be used by archbishops and above in the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, even though he could use it, it was not something that could be used casually at any time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had used the "Purification" several times before without the permission of the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And based on his experience, he said that it was effective in preventing poison and so on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, before this battle began, Mr. Schneider himself cast a [purification] spell on us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this state, even if Kyle Reed uses a spirit to attack us with an abnormal condition caused by the illusion flower, it will not be a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We have shown too much of our hand, even if it was to show how strong we are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They probably had no idea that their radio broadcast would end up strangling them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, although we were temporarily disoriented by the rock giants' sudden attack, we immediately began to deal with the situation thanks to Mr. Schneider's calm judgment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We left our hold on the rock giants and started to take off Kyle Reed's head first with the others.
