126. Giants and Goblins.

[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]

[Uses the Fire Explosion (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]

Taang!

Kwaaang!

Hwaaaaaaaah!

“Kua?”

“Kwaaah!”

The giant monsters screamed, covering their faces with their hands as hot flames shot up along with the explosion.

I just shot the gun on the ground on purpose.

To clearly separate the giants in the direction Iris was flying from those slightly further away.

And then he reached out.

[Use the Smoke Screen (lv.3) skill.]

Puffin! Puffinpuffinpuffin!

Sparks burst and smoke spread among the giants.

And Iris flew through the smoke.

Paaaaang!

“Hey hey!”

Iris swung the dimensional sword.

Choaaaak!

“Ugh!”

Boom! Boom!

With a single scream, a ten-meter-tall giant monster slumped forward with its head cut off.

But not a single drop of blood flowed.

Iris’s Dimensional Sword is imbued with the energy of a dimension full of cold, so it freezes as soon as it is struck.

“Kuaaaah!”

Boohoo! Boohoo!

The 11-meter tall giant monster roared and tried to grab Iris with both hands, but she was too fast.

Iris quickly went down to the ground and cut the giant monster’s groin before passing by.

The giant monster, whose leg was badly injured, knelt on one knee.

Kuung!

‘I’ll finish it!’

Taang!

Whoa whoa! Whoa whoa! Whoa whoa!

The overlapping Fire Burst (lv.3) explosion technique hit the giant’s chest, covering his entire body in flames.

“Kuaaaa!”

The monster screams and tries to put out the fire, but the flames of the magic circle that burns mana do not go out easily.

Kuung!

In an instant, the second giant fell.

And at that moment, Iris had already stabbed the third giant monster’s forehead with her dimensional sword.

Phew!

“Koooosh!”

As he drew his sword, the giant monster fell backwards helplessly.

Kuuung!

Iris then flew towards the giant monsters behind her.

I aimed my pistol to finish off the fallen giant.

[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]

.

.

Tata tang! Tata tang!

Puppupupupup!

Use your skills generously.

Because there was so much mana to overflow.

‘The target is big, so it’s easy to hit!’

The giant’s trembling body stopped moving.

The bastard is completely dead.

I looked at Iris who had flown forward.

Kang! Taeang!

‘Huh? You’re engaging in close combat with a giant!’

The three empty-handed giant monsters that had thrown their spears at us a moment ago had already been killed, and now the monster holding the spear was engaging in close combat with Iris.

He was driving a giant holding a 15 meter long spear with a 1.5 meter long dimensional sword.

How much strength do you have to be able to push like that?

No, is it a skill?

Even if I added the Physical Strengthening (lv. 3) skill to my body that was twice as strong, I didn’t think I would be able to defeat Iris on strength alone.

But I’m a ranged dealer so it doesn’t matter.

Then a giant monster lunged at Iris’s back, aiming his spear.

WHHH! BAM!

I threw the gravity field generator three steps in front of the giant.

Shhhhhhh!

The running giant monster’s right ankle snapped to the side as it was suddenly pulled by a force five times stronger than gravity.

“Kuaq?”

Kuuung!

The giant lost his balance and fell forward.

Paaaaang!

I flew towards the fallen guy and aimed for the nape of his neck.

Tata tang! Tata tang!

Puppupupupup!

“Kueeeeek!”

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

When the Fire Explosion (lv.3) skill exploded on the bastard’s neck, his neck was completely cut off and flames shot up.

It’s only a B-class dimensional monster, so it’s only natural for an S-class aerial magic knight to catch it!

“Kuaaaaak!”

Kuung!

Another giant lost his life at the hands of Iris.

Boom boom boom! Shake!

Then a giant lunged at me with his spear thrusting at me, and I leapt upward.

Paaaaang!

Then he put in the assault rifle and took out the sniper rifle for the Peacemaker monster.

Crunch!

Tuaang!

“Kwak!”

When I used the Penetration (lv. 3) and Stack (lv. 3) skills, a bullet was lodged in the giant’s head.

But instead of dying, the bastard threw a spear at me.

Shaeaaak!

I slipped backwards using the Tunnel Vision (lv.2) skill.

The spear flew violently and embedded itself in a huge tree.

And in the meantime, Iris was swinging her sword at the giant who had thrown the weapon.

A giant without weapons is food for Iris.

Choaaaak!

Kuung!

The last giant monster has fallen.

We took down six giant monsters in an instant.

Paaaaang!

“Alain!”

Iris flew in with her eyes wide open.

“why?”

“Why do we work so well together? Have we ever hunted monsters together before?”

“How could that be? When I was catching the Dimensional Dragon, I just watched.”

Just now I was adjusting everything to Iris.

To be honest, anyone who saw our movements just now would have felt like we had fought countless battles together.

It wasn’t a lie.

Iris: 1,000 years ago, I fought a lot of monsters recently.

Of course, we’ve never fought together, but aren’t the hunters’ skills for killing monsters all the same?

“I killed the last one. I caught one more!”

“okay.”

I gave a snicker.

Iris’s monster fighting skills are terrifying, even in my opinion.

I was amazed at how they could maintain such precise control while flying at high speeds.

It’s like I always have my tunnel vision skills turned on and moving?

It doesn’t even seem like you’re using any skills.

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole Braschi must learn Iris’ combat control to rise to the named level.

“Let’s go to the elf, I have a lot to ask you!”

Paaaaang!

***

“So, are you saying that there is a thousand-year-old elven kingdom in this world?”

“Yes, the Kingdom of Harlin.”

Ilandu, the head of the elf family, nodded.

“It’s a week’s journey northwest from here. Ah! If you fly, you’ll get there in a day.”

“But why do only the elderly and children live in a dangerous place where giants appear?”

“Originally, there were about 50 young elves living on this tree. If you include the other trees, there are 300 elves capable of fighting. So we could handle the giants today on our own.”

Looking around, I saw several large trees over 500 meters tall near the top of the mountain.

This was an elf village.

“And the giants here hate high places. The giants’ bodies are made of so much mana that they contain so much mana, and they have to inhale a lot of mana every day. However, they dislike high places because the mana concentration is low.”

“So what is the attack today?”

“I hate it. It’s not that I can’t climb. Sometimes, when I run out of food, I climb the mountain.”

The survival of the elves here was desperate.

To have to live as food for giants.

“But where did all the young elves go?”

“Oh! Don’t be ridiculous. Not long ago, the goblins discovered the location of the Kingdom of Harlin, and a great war broke out. So all the young elves went to the kingdom.”

“Goblin? A small dimensional monster that lives underground?”

Iris interjected, frowning.

“Yes, the Kingdom of Harlin is underground.”

So, you built an underground kingdom to avoid the giants, but there are also goblins there.

The elves here seemed to have a hard time with goblins underground and giant monsters above ground.

“Why are elves afraid of goblins?”

Iris doesn’t seem to understand.

“The goblins here usually live in groups of a few hundred or even a few thousand. That’s not a problem. But once every few generations, there comes a time when goblins form a large group. That’s when the Goblin King is born. That’s when hundreds of thousands of goblins become one.”

“That little devil has hundreds of thousands?”

Iris’s mouth opened wide.

‘What do I say to Evolod?’

I can’t tell you to give up this dimension.

Giants and goblins? They’re polar opposite threats.

If there were elves here, they would definitely say they would save us······.

“Alain, let us help you!”

Oh! Iris was there too.

Her eyes were wide open as if she was going to run at any moment.

“What is the goblin’s weapon?”

“A bone knife like an awl and a crude bow.”

“Then what about the elves’ armed status?”

“Of course, a spear, a sword, and a bow.”

“Huh? You don’t have a magic gun?”

“Ah! I heard that they used rifles until my grandfather’s time, but after that, they stopped being usable because they ran out of bullets.”

You’ve survived this far without using a gun?

It’s been 1,000 years?

If I do this well, things might work out easily······.

“If there is no Matan, then there is no gate connecting this place to the spirit world.”

Illandu had a regretful expression on his face.

“Yes, this is the only gate where dimensional monsters appear.”

If you can’t go to the spirit world, you can’t get magic stones or flame stones.

Then you can’t make a magic bullet.

“Now that the giant monsters are dead, other giants may come. It is dangerous to stay here. There are well-armed elven rangers in the eastern mountain, so please move there.”

“Huh? A Ranger?”

I called the 1st Battalion and the Elf Rangers here by radio.

They could have safely taken the villagers here to our base camp.

“Alain, so are we just going?”

“The two of us are enough to deal with goblins.”

“Is that so? Alright! Let’s go!”

Paaaaang! Paaaaang!

I flew northwest with Iris.

I thought I’d first look at the Kingdom of Harlin.

***

‘I said it was somewhere here······.’

I flew looking at the ground.

“Alain, it looks like a valley over there!”

In the distance I could see a deep and rugged valley.

And at the top of the valley a huge wall appeared.

‘There’s a barrier here too.’

We flew to the barrier in a hurry.

And in front of the wall, a dozen giant monsters appeared, shot dead by arrows like hedgehogs.

You can kill a giant monster with an arrow!

Well, even elves can awaken the magic knight’s spells, and the magic knight’s skills are activated even when shooting arrows.

Of course, compared to a pistol, its power and accuracy are far inferior.

And how many arrows can you carry?

Portability is also extremely poor.

“Iris, you take the lead!”

“huh!”

Paaaaang!

I think it would be better if the high elves took the lead.

As expected, as Iris went ahead, the elves stopped shooting arrows.

Everyone’s eyes widened as they saw a high elf flying in the sky for the first time.

We landed on the wall.

“Where is the king here? I want to see him.”

The elves looked dumbfounded at Iris’ words.

“Excuse me, follow me.”

An elf guided us.

A quick glance revealed that there were hundreds of elves on this very wall.

Inside the barrier, a truly huge apple tree was visible.

The apples were as small as an adult’s head, and some were as large as an adult’s torso.

If you can that, you’ll get 10 per apple!

Besides, there were grape vines and pear trees.

Could it be that the elves were able to survive here because of the giant fruit trees?

We stopped in front of a large cave.

“Please wait here for a moment.”

The elf entered the cave.

After a while, I came out with other elves.

They too were surprised and opened their eyes wide when they saw the high elf Iris.

Of course, he was surprised to see me.

You may be wondering how we ended up in this dimension.

“We will guide you from here.”

I followed the new elves inside.

The cave was spacious, and the floor was swept and clean.

And we were going down and down.

After going in for a while, a huge cavity appeared.

A large hole in the central ceiling of the common room allowed sunlight to shine in, and dozens of staircases and hundreds of holes could be seen on the walls on both sides.

And in that hole the figures of young elves appeared.

This was the home and village of the elves.

They’re not even real goblins, they’re elves living in underground caves······.

It seemed better to live in a tree, even if it was dangerous.

Of course, for parents with children, safety may be a greater priority.

“Come this way.”

We passed the common.

And soon after, a slightly smaller cavity than the first one appeared.

Here too, the walls were filled with elf houses.

And then I passed three more such cavities.

The structure looks just like an ant hole.

If there hadn’t been a big hole in the ceiling to let in sunlight, it would have looked like a real ant hole.

“Please wait here for a moment.”

I looked up.

Here was another common entrance.

But there’s a barrier here too!

There was a huge barrier in front of the entrance.

At first glance, it looked like it was hundreds of meters long.

It must not have been easy to build such a large-scale barrier underground.

‘Blood scent?’

A pungent smell of blood began to emanate.

“What’s going on?”

“For the past few days, goblins have been coming and fighting every day. His Majesty the King is up there and will come down soon.”

Ding ding ding ding! Ding ding ding ding!

Suddenly a bell was heard from above the barrier.

“Are the goblins here?”

“Yes, please. Excuse me. Please wait here.”

The elves who guided us began to climb up the wall.

The barrier was very high, so we had to climb a long flight of stairs.

Iris looked at me.

“Alain, can we help you?”

“Okay, let’s go and help.”

Paaaaang!

Paaaaang!

We were up over the barrier in no time.

Something black was rushing in from the other side of the room.

And the sunlight shining in the center of the room revealed its identity.

‘They’re all goblins!’

For a moment, my mouth fell open.

[Dimensional Goblin (F-Class) – A small monster between 70cm and 100cm tall.

It had a large head, thin limbs, and green skin.

[They are light because their bodies are rich in mana, and can jump three times their height. They usually live underground in groups, and they really like shiny objects.]

I knew those guys too.

A dimensional gate created on Earth.

The first ones to come out of there were goblins.

They may look small and weak, but they are tenacious, very agile, and view humans as food, making them difficult for even a grown man to handle.

Moreover, they traveled in packs, and there were so many of them that the number of humans killed by goblins reached into the millions.

“Kkiuruk!”

Kukukukuku!

Those green demons were coming in waves.
