"Good...... Listen, Riffa, we're going to run there as hard as we can. ”

"Huh...... Huh?"

Appearance—does it refer to the three-headed and four-armed giant? What does it have to do with a place where there is water?

Kirito ignored Rifa, who was full of doubts, and after giving her a nudge on the back, he pulled out the nail-like object directly from his belt.

It was supposed to be an awl for throwing, but Lifa had never seen anyone use such a weapon so far.

That's because there is magic in ALO, a super powerful long-range attack method, so there is no point in cultivating this monotonous weapon throwing skill.

However, Kirito is quite skillful at turning the awl about 12 centimeters in length on his fingers and making a throwing motion.

“…… I'm going to go!"

Her right arm swung out at lightning speed as she prepared to throw, and the iron cone flew in a straight line through the air with a blue light—

The cone struck directly between the eyes of the three-headed giant's topmost face, glowing red.

To Lifa's surprise, the giant's HP value was slightly reduced by about a number of paintings.

That kind of toy-like weapon could actually penetrate the strong armor of the evil god-level monster, which showed that his flying sword skills must have been trained to a considerable extent.

Of course, this damage is not worth mentioning at all for the huge HP of the evil god, but the most important thing in this case is to cause damage to the opponent. Because—

"Roar, roar, roar, purr!"

With such a roar, the giant's three faces and six eyes turned around, which was the best proof that it had shifted its target from the elephant jellyfish to Lifa and Kirito.

“…… I'm going to run away!"

After Kirito finished screaming, he immediately turned to the north and kicked the snow flakes and rushed forward with all his might.

"Wait......"

Lifa could only keep opening and closing her mouth, and then hurriedly caught up with the guard elves who were gradually moving away from behind.

Immediately afterward, there was an earth-shattering roar and tremors. The giant immediately began to chase after the two of them.

"Wait, no, no, ah!"

Lifa let out a grief as she pushed her speed to the limit under her feet.

But Kirito in front of him continued to widen the distance between him and Lifa with a beautiful posture that was not inferior to the Olympic sprinter.

Although she had already experienced the speed of Kirito's escape in the Luguru Corridor that ran through the mountains of the ground, it was no fun at all if she was left behind.

"It's too ~~~~~~!"

As Lifa screamed, the loud vibrations behind her continued to approach.

The Evil God is about thirteen times the height of Lifa, so the difference in pace between the two should be a multiple.

Rifa was worried about whether the steel-like sword would be swung down immediately, and she used all her strength to catch up with Kirito with the movement command issued by her brain.

As a result, the black-clothed young man in front suddenly kicked the snow away with a pop, and then stopped.

Then he turned around again and spread his arms to block Lifa.

As soon as she stopped, she turned her head to look back.

The three-headed giant was close enough to be seen frighteningly when he looked up.

In a few seconds, you'll be able to catch up with them in no time. If you are hit by its iron sword, Kirito and Rifa, who are lightly armed, will have their HP value immediately reset to zero.

- What exactly are you going to do!

Just as Lifa asked Kirito who was holding him in a voiceless voice......

From underground, there was a strange sound like a crackling and a crackling.

It was the sound of a giant's tree-like feet breaking through the ice buried beneath the snow.

Kirito stopped because it was right in the middle of a vast frozen lake covered in snow.

About fifteen meters in front of you, the entire snowfield has sunken, and the dark and clear water surface is completely exposed. The three-headed giant fell into the lake he had created, and immediately stirred up a high column of water.

"Just—just sink like that......"

Lifa prayed desperately, but things were not so easy to solve.

Immediately, a giant had a face and a half out of the water, and then snapped the water towards them.

It looks like it's paddling under the surface of the lake with my two arms as paddles. The evil god with a body like a rock can swim like this.

If letting it sink to the bottom of the lake is Kirito's battle, then his bet can be said to be a complete failure.

Lifa stood up and decided to run at least a little longer, but Kirito, who was hugging her, didn't move.

She pressed Lifa with a force that almost violated the sexual harassment prevention norms (it's not sexual harassment between girls and girls, is it?), and then kept staring at the approaching giant.

“…… Ah, it's hard, don't you ......?"

'Do you want to die just like that?' instinct flashed through Lifa's mind.

As she had said before, she was going to die with the evil god in order for Lifa to log out, and then set off again from the Wind Elf capital of Si Iluban, the save place.

Lifa would never allow her to do that.

Just walking with the two of them today, Lifa could feel Kirito's strong determination to go to the center of the central capital Arun and the World Tree.

The Guardian Elven Maiden entered ALO in order to meet someone waiting for her on the World Tree, and then came to this place after a lot of hardship.

"No, you hurry up and run away......"

Lifa struggled to escape from her arms, but the small screams from her mouth were muffled by another sound of water.

Startled, Lifa looked at the source of the sound, and saw a new column of water appear behind the approaching three-headed giant.

The gurgling roar undoubtedly came from the elephant jellyfish that had been bullied by the giants just now.

They had dragged the giant away, but it had chased after it from behind.

Lifa forgot about her situation for a moment, and her eyes widened in surprise—

First the surface of the water was divided, and then nearly twenty legs of the jellyfish were wrapped around the giant's face and arms.

The giant immediately let out a roaring cry of rage and swung his iron sword. But the movement of swinging the sword in the water is quite slow, and it is impossible to get rid of the entanglement of the opponent's feet at all.

“…… Originally, it turned out to be ......," Lifa whispered in a hoarse voice.

The elephant jellyfish was originally an evil god that grew in water.

When it was on land, most of its feet were useless to support its huge bowl-shaped body, but now when it enters the lake, its entire body floats on the water, and all of its feet can be used to attack.

On the other hand, the giant needs to use two arms to swim, and its attack power has been reduced by half.

In other words, the appearance of Kirito's mouth just now turned out to be like a jellyfish evil god.

Now that she remembered that jellyfish were indeed animals in the water, Lifa was frustrated that she hadn't even noticed such a simple thing, and she clenched her hands even more.

The elephant-headed evil god is like a fish in water, no, it should be said that he suppressed the three-headed giant with the momentum of a jellyfish and made the giant's head sink to the bottom of the water.

The battle between two oversized monsters caused a huge wave that spewed a large amount of water as it hit the ice.

The jellyfish screamed more sharply, and its body began to glow blue-white.

The light then turns into tiny sparks that flow into the water through twenty feet.

"Ah......h

"Great!"

Lifa and Kirito shouted at the same time.

The Three-Headed Giant's HP began to decrease dramatically. Using the observation skill, I found that the HP value of the three-headed giant as high as hundreds of thousands of times every time the spark flickered.

Perhaps it was the giant's last cry, as there were several flashes of red flickering beneath the surface of the water, and then several pillars of vapor floating, but none of these had any effect on the Jellyfish God's HP.

After a while, the purring began to slowly diminish and eventually stopped altogether - followed by a super-large polygon explosion that made Lifa's vision completely invisible.

In an instant, Lifa turned her face to the side. When she turned her head back, there was only one arrow left on the scene.

Pur Pur Pur ......

After a roar of victory, the jellyfish lifted all its feet high.

Then I immediately put them back in and started swimming on the surface of the lake.

When its huge body climbs onto the shore, the water that flows down its body is almost like a waterfall.

Lifa swallowed as she watched it walk towards them on the snow.

The heavy footsteps of the god as they drew closer and closer vibrated the soles of Lifa's feet, and when it stopped in front of their eyes, they could once again feel that it was huge.

A foot that looks like a tiny tentacle when fighting a giant is as thick as two hands together.

Those feet were like towering trees, allowing them to see only the outline of their steamed bun-shaped bodies.

The head on the front of its body is very similar to that of an elephant. The rounded parts of the cheeks that resemble ears might be called gills, and a nose about the length of the foot hangs down from the bottom of the face.

There are three eyes on each side that look like black lenses, and although it looks a little scary, the overall expression is funny because of the shape of the rice balls.

"So what are we going to do next............" Kirito said softly.

Lifa did say that she wanted to help the evil god, who was a bit like an elephant, but she didn't think about the next action at all.

Stopping in front of them now was a terrifying god-level monster, and the arrow was still yellow for the enemy, and as long as its sharp claw foot stepped down, Lifa and the others would be in the sky immediately.

But on the other hand, it is already quite unusual that it did not attack at this moment.

In a high-level training ground like Üzheim, once all monsters find the player's trace in sight, they should immediately attack like crazy, and since it didn't do so, wouldn't it wait for the jellyfish to leave automatically......

But Lifa's thoughts were shattered after a second. The god let out a groaning cry and his long nose reached out to the two of them.
