The great wolf standing on top of what was once the Mithril Mine.

　The Demon Wolf Fenrir.

　He looks exactly like a wolf, but his size is so huge that it's still very strange.

　Hundreds of earth giants are rushing towards the big wolf.
　They're huge, too, so they're relatively similar in size, but we're just human beings watching them, so I'm losing my mind.

　Earth Demon Beast Gigantomachia.

　I've only heard that name a little bit, but I've only touched my ears.
　I've only heard the name in conjunction with the demonic beasts that control the four elements, such as fire demon beasts, wind demon beasts and water demon beasts, so I don't know much about them.

　However, originally, there were four demonic beasts in total. And all of them have left the control of the Demon King and are doing whatever they want. It's extremely dangerous to get close to them.

　All you have to do is to tell them.

　Now that all of that prior information has been overturned, I'm very confused....

''It seems that among the four demonic beasts, only Gigantomachia-san is in a special position.

　Radie says, lining up next to me.

''Most of the four demonic beasts left because they were too affectionate with the Fighting God-sama's Texanism. But only Gigantomachia-san remained loyal and took up the role of a watchdog for Fenrir-chan, a being higher than him...
No, it can't be...

　We hadn't seen Radey for a while, but after seeing him again for the first time in a long time, we could still see that he had changed.

　He has thicker bones overall and looks more dependable.
　Is he growing up?

'Radey!　It's been so long!

　Zebiantes, who had been floating puka-puka in the air, hugged him with a rush.
　However, Radie didn't get pushed away and took it head on.

''Wufu!　Hi, Radey!　There's something outrageous going on out there!
'It's all Bezelia and Dariel's fault!　It's really the only thing men do that's unnecessary!

　Don't try to put all the blame on them for not saying it.
　These guys are friendly as ever.

But that dog is going to be okay here on earth?　Giga-san, you can't stop one of them, can you?
Maybe I can't...!

　Radie, says in a voice tone that includes melancholy.

''Even though they are the same demonic beasts, the polar demonic beasts are higher than the four demonic beasts. The reason why the suppression in the sealed space was effective was only because the power of the Fighting God-sama was holding Fenrir-chan down through the different space itself. That helped and was antagonistic to Gigantomachia-san.
Oh, he must have been on a leash while that dog was under seal.
''It's the divine tool Draupnir prepared by the fighting gods. Thanks to being tied up with that, even I managed to avoid being eaten and become a training partner. But now Fenrir-chan has escaped from the sealed space and can't even be chained up. There's nothing to limit your power...!
Oh, no. It's over, Giga.

　Or rather, Zebiantes.
　How do you know so much about the situation?

I used to go to the sealed space periodically to bring in food.
Tell me if you want to!　How many people do you think were concerned about Radie's well-being?
"Hmmm, I'm a woman who always has something people don't know!　It really does feel good to look down on those ignorant guys!

　This guy is the worst!

"Stop fighting, Mr. Dariel!　It's more serious right now, Fenrir-chan!
Am I in trouble?
Fenrir-chan's freedom on earth is a definite world crisis!　If we don't do anything about it, the world will surely die!

　Indeed, if you believe the explanations up to this point in a false sense of the word, that's the only way this could happen.

''Well, if those giants march in, they'll manage in the end, right?
"Didn't you just say 'no'?

　However, despite such a scattered reputation of the earth demon beasts, their offensive is tremendous.

　The battle had already begun and more than a hundred earth giants made up of more than a hundred of them rushed into the wolf's body and beat it to death.
　Their fierceness was truly earth-shattering and their power was overwhelming.

　It might even surpass the monster beasts they had encountered in the past such as the Fire Demon Beast Salamandra and the Wind Demon Beast Windra.

''I knew they were the strongest among the four demonic beasts and their reputation is not justified...?
''Yes, among the four hexenbiests...?

　But the other party isn't unilaterally beaten either.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.

　I'm sure the giants are robust and strong enough to be unmanageable, but they are crushed into pieces with a fragility like sand.

''Nuh-uh-uh!

　Gigantomachia also created new earth giants in opposition and put them on the front line.
　However, they are being destroyed at a much faster rate than that, so at any moment, the equilibrium is going to be shattered and they are going to be pushed out of the way.

''After all, there's too much difference in their basic abilities...''

　From a human point of view, they are both transcendent.
　Even in that sense, it was a terrifying battle.

''After all, Gigantomachia-san alone is not enough!　Mr. Dariel, we need to get in on the action!　We can't sit on our hands in a global crisis!
''That's right!

　If that Fenrir-esque wanker is as described, leaving that thing in place is tantamount to allowing the world to end.

　It's not someone else's problem.
　We're going to gather our forces here to make the crisis........

'Don't mess with it!'

　But the giants stopped it.
　A giant body like a pillar that supports the world.

The only thing that can be said for this Gigantomachia is that it has the intention of being a magical beast. No matter how high-ranking it is, there's no way I'm going to let a dog that has nothing but an appetite get the best of me!
''But...!
'I've been that witch wolf warden for hundreds, maybe thousands of years?　.... have been in this land for a long time. So, inevitably, I have come into contact with the humans of this world.'

　This is the story of a magical beast of the earth.

"I cannot ignore it.... What are the thoughts of the little ones living on earth? Why do they crawl so desperately in their tiny bodies?　How wretchedly do you treat me, my Creator?

　....?
　The body of the Gigantomachia (commanding body) begins to change...?
　Is this ... combat mode?

"If you have seen the desperate lives of the little ones, is it not the Great One who will protect and guide them?　I can no longer fight only for the mission given to me by you!　This power is for the protection of the weak!'

　The Gigantomachia's body is enveloped in a white light.

　Something hard and smooth emerges from the earth giant's body.

　Is that........metal?
　Is the metal covering the body of an earth giant?

　Like a piece of armor?

'No wait... that silvery white glow...?

　Where does this metal look familiar...?
　Oh, okay.

　Is that mithril?

Wow, that's some serious mithril!
The purity is high!　Good stuff!

　No doubt the knockers who work in mithril mining are like that too.
　The Gigantomachia is clad in thick mithril.

"This mineral you call mithril is essentially a part of me.
What?
Should I call it an enchanted shell? I create my own mithril, which I use as my weapon and armor. But since it is generated naturally without my awareness, it is often released into the earth where I sink.

　The Mithril Mine was the one that had been dug up for it.

　Okay, so the Mithril Mine wasn't just a mine, it was a vein of ore that arose in the soil where Gigantomachia existed!

　Gigantomachia had sat deep in the earth here to keep an eye on Fenrir.
　Was that the source of the Mithril Mine in this area?

　No wonder everything was different from the other mines........?

"Haha, so it was like collecting the innards of a bunch of demonic beasts like us?
I'm getting a little scrubbed by a Hexenbiest.

　The knockers are interested in this.
　But to call a super-luxury Mithril a solid........?

　Already, the giants other than the commander's plane have begun to arm themselves with mithril, becoming stronger and more powerful.

　Gigantomachia's existence as an earth demonic beast is a spiritual being that is one with the earth.
　The earth itself under his feet is him, his body.

　Therefore, as long as there is sand and soil on the earth, it can exist as many times as it wants, and it will never cease to exist.

　If there is ground, it is infinite.
　If you think about it in a normal way, no one can defeat such an existence.

　But still..........
　It was impossible to reach Demon Wolf Fenrir.
