From a distance, they were nothing more than a few slender tentacles. But when it got closer, Ivor and the soldiers realized that each of these "slender" tentacles was the thickness of a person embracing each other.

Oh, yes...... After all, this thing grows on the body of a huge monster that stands like a mountain......

Ivor's fighting blade, slashing at a tentacle, sank in half, and then shattered from the massive impact. The rest of the tentacles, obscuring the sky and the sun, covered Ivor and the magic cannon on the street.

The warm touch of the tentacles came from Ivor's face, and then, Ivor subconsciously and helplessly, closed his eyes.

With a few "clicks", the magic cannon team, which originally maintained an orderly array, was also twisted by the tentacles and gradually covered.

......

At the same moment, the gray giant did not relax its attack on the other obstructors. Although it appears to have only one "head", its six arms are launching different attacks at different targets at the same time.

The strong man who came over from the palace, when facing this monster, even if he turned over the hole cards and used a bunch of props that he usually cherished, it was no different from smashing people with soft snowballs - it looked like a big snowball, smashed on people, and scattered at once, leaving a little snow trail at most.

However, among these people, there are also those who press the snowball tightly and throw it out.

So they, too, in battle, were the first to fall.

When facing opponents of similar size and strength, these strong men who serve the palace may still be able to come in handy. But when the opponent is a monster of great size and terrifying strength, they are no more useful than the soldiers - even if they are paid almost as much as a soldier's squad on a normal day.

Anyway, it's all a trick of seconds, and the more people there are, is the advantage.

"The battering cone is in place!"

"Lionclaw Squad ready!

Even without Ivor's command, after the large weapons were in place, these soldiers were the first to carry out assault operations in accordance with Ivor's orders.

The siege cone in the soldiers' mouths is a metal cone more than two meters long, which needs to be manually transported, deployed, and triggered. It contains a circuit composed of a large number of magic runes, and when triggered, a powerful explosion occurs.

As the name suggests, this large weapon was designed to break through the city walls. Compared with trebuchets and magic cannons, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and can be used in different occasions.

Dealing with this kind of giant monster that has taken root, the siege cone, may have an excellent effect.

It was expected that they would be hindered in the way of the charge, but the Lionclaw team carrying the siege cones was not hindered at all from the beginning of the charge to the soles of the giant's feet......

"Okay!

As if inspired by something, the soldiers shouted loudly, and while emboldening themselves, they raised their siege cones and rushed through them in a certain formation.

The gray giant hadn't moved since it appeared, and its entire body seemed to be on the ground. But no one dared to pack the ticket and say it wouldn't move. After all, the place it faces is the Imperial Palace......

"Go away, you guys!!"

A coquettish sound made these soldiers stunned in unison. Before he could react, he felt as if his body was in the air, and then he was thrown out along with the siege cone he was holding, away from the monster.

"It's dangerous here, do you know!?"

Ellie held one end of the battering cone, along with the soldiers next to the battering cone, and lifted it together, then jumped in a few steps and threw it to the side.

By the time she said these two words, she had already repeated the action three times.

In the eyes of these lion guards, it was a warrior in black armor who directly stopped their charge and threw it out along with the siege cone, which required several people to lift......

This person...... It's actually a woman?and,It's so strong??

It was only then that the soldiers reacted. This...... Isn't that one of the targets they had to hunt down in the previous mission?

"Stay away!"

Ellie threw a few siege cones and the soldiers responsible for deploying them all behind, dropped a word, and returned to the giant's direction.

The soldiers looked at each other and wanted to say something. When they looked in the direction of the gray giant, they found that the place under the giant's feet, which should have been an open space, had many small tentacles that had been drilled out of the ground like the giant's skin......

In addition to these tentacles, there are also some strangely shaped, wriggling pieces of flesh scattered around.

A piece of flesh ended its wriggling, and three claws poked out of it, stepping on the ground, and the original piece of flesh gradually grew into a mouth with spikes.

It seems that it has become a solitary monster......

It seems that it is just a gold-level monster, and several lion guards can work together to kill it without injury.

However, within a few seconds, a monster like this sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and drilled out a large area!

If they had rushed in just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

After returning to the battlefield, Ellie fluttered her wings and used the poisonous spikes on her fist armor to reap the little monsters that had been drilled out one by one.

Yumi, on the other hand, was dealing with one of the gray giant's arms wholeheartedly, her face was not easy, and if she continued like this, it would only be a slow death.

After the gray giant split these little monsters, the power of the main body was almost not weakened, and the sixteen cores were still in Yumi's sight, safe and sound.

"Su Wen!!" Yumi didn't care if Su Wen could hear it or not, as long as he was free, he would open his throat and shout in the direction of the Earl's Palace, to show that they really needed Su Wen's help.

"Why is that blue guy gone?" said Ellie, muttering as she smashed the little monster back and forth on the battlefield.

At this time, Quintu was surrounded by a group of monsters and tentacles in a corner of the ruins, squatting in the corner of the wall as a defensive gesture, so as not to be beaten to death by these monsters.

Odd...... Did I hear someone shouting Mr. Su Wen's name just now?

Such a thought was immediately disrupted by a clanging attack of monsters.

Yumi breathed a sigh of relief, facing the arm that had its tentacles parted, and began to think about how to dodge and fight back.

But in a trance, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of Yumi, blocking between Yumi and the giant's arm.

Su Wen ......!?

Su Wen held Ruijana in his left hand, and in his right hand, he held a ball of energy that was fluttering like a flame and had a circle of dancing electric light.

The high-speed movement made Regina directly experience a "sense of weightlessness" that was enough to cause people to scream, but due to her personality, Regina just closed her lips tightly, gritted her teeth, and didn't even close her eyes. Both hands were tightly hugging Su Wen's left arm, not caring at all about his entire body, which was about to be buried......

After Su Wen stabilized his figure, he pushed out the ball of light in his hand.

After the ball of light touched the giant's arm, it suddenly flashed a burst of dazzling white light, and the temperature of the entire area suddenly rose by several degrees!

Although Su Wen was in front of him, Yumi still subconsciously stretched out his arm to block the light that pierced into his eyes.

Then, there was a roar from the gray giant.

Then, everyone present found that this huge monster was missing an arm......

"Haven't I come? Su Wen turned his head and looked at Yumi.

"......" Yumi was a little distracted, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

"Alright, let's get rid of this thing first. Su Wen turned around and went back, ready to fly.

"Wait for you to let me down first!" Regina hurriedly shouted.

......

"That's ...... What? Is the army dispatched?"

"Is it a magic cannon as a secret weapon, and when did the research institute make it?"

Of course, these powerhouses in the direction of the palace also noticed the change of giants.

A whole arm, that's ...... Start at the elbow...... An arm, just gone! Not even the sound of falling to the ground...... It's like being directly evaporated by some powerful energy!

They couldn't think of any other means of attack other than the high-powered magic cannon that they had imagined......

At this time, the palace masters who were one level higher than them also rushed over from somewhere in the palace and joined everyone.

After a brief exchange of encouragement, the rout of the line of defense was patched again.

“............ Damn it. ”

Vera crouched on the roof of a building, observing the battle of the gray giants in the distance, holding back for a long time, spitting out a dirty word that she never said.

In the royal city, you can still meet monsters of this level??

That guy, if it's the Ancient Demon Sect, then, isn't that what he's here to deal with?

No...... That dark-haired man, it could never be so simple!

Vera clearly saw the large magic array that appeared in the Earl's Palace, and the magic cannon fired by Su Wen. This kind of power is completely beyond the category of "human......

Even through the technological transformation of the Black Rope Society, through the sacrifice of the Ancient Demon Sect or other technologies, it is a terrifying power that cannot be possessed!

Even the gray giant who Vera felt was "completely invincible" and "the royal city is over" was actually knocked off a head and an arm by Su Wen!!

Fortunately...... Fortunately, I didn't have a confrontation with him just now......

Or, is it that even if there is a conflict, the other party does not bother to pay attention to himself?

Vera wanted to leave, but her instincts told her not to do so...... It's best to find Su Wen and apologize after the matter is over......

What if Su Wen remembers it one day and exterminates the Black Rope Society......

With this thought, and perhaps other content, Vera resisted the urge to run away and stayed in the distance.

......

That's it, dead?

Ivor's mind was filled with countless chaotic thoughts, until a glimmer of light swept across his face.

"General!"

"Great!"

"Pull the general out!"

In a daze, Ivor only felt that his body was being pulled by something, and he was dragged out of a warm and soft place, and then, some cold and irritating touches came from his face.

After a moment's pause, Ivor finally opened his eyes.

"The general is awake!!"

Ivor found himself being supported by a group of soldiers, half-lying on top of a pile of marching bags.

In front of me, it was rolled up one by one...... Palp!?

I'm not...... Was you crushed to death by a monster's tentacles?

Using a variety of tools, a group of soldiers worked together to remove the tentacles and toss them aside, revealing the magic cannon that was covered by it.

"Both shells are broken, but they look like they work!"

"Hurry up and fix it! The second operation team is on standby! What about the medical team! Let them hurry up!"

Isn't this voice Wavanson's?

This...... What's going on??

Ivor looked at Wavanson, who was commanding the soldiers.

Wavansen, who didn't seem to have time to take care of Ivor, kept laying out something, and couldn't stop at all.

At this time, Ivor noticed that a neat section appeared at one end of the tentacles, like a ...... It's like being cut open by something all at once......

In other words, when the tentacles flew towards themselves, who cut them off directly, so that the tentacles lost their stamina, and smashed into themselves just by relying on their own inertia and gravity?

No wonder...... No wonder I'm not dead...... It's just that the taste of being stuck in the whole body of this thing is not pleasant......

Ivor coughed a few times, and with these coughs, there was a burst of pain in his chest.

, it was like getting kicked by a mammoth troll......

But, I managed to save my life.

But...... The tentacles of this texture were cut open by something at once??

Ivor thought for a moment and let out a cloudy breath, not knowing what to say.

Before he could finish his worries, a group of young men and women dressed in white rushed over, holding various medical equipment, and came to check on his Ivor's physical condition.

"Hey...... You ......"

"Patient, please don't move!"

As he spoke, a bunch of cold reagents were applied to various injured parts of Ivor's body, causing Ivor to gasp.

Before his open mouth could close, another metal tube reached into his mouth, delivering several milliliters of extremely bitter potion.

Then, Ivor only felt a chill in his crotch, as if his entire pants had been ripped off.

"There's a bruise on the thigh!"

"Bring the medicine!"

"Wait! you can't ......" Ivor's old face turned red, trying to stop the men.

"Patient, lie down for me and don't move!!"

A delicate little girl next to her immediately turned around, put on a straight face, and yelled at Ivor.

Ivor was speechless.

Perhaps, wouldn't it be better to be stoned to death just now?
