Raidorl Seiken Senki-Chapter 193: Giant Of Despair

Translated by SoundDestiny

Meanwhile, a fierce battle is taking place on the northern road.

Wilfred has been transformed into a giant. His torso is covered with countless arms the same size as those of a normal man.

“Oooooooooooooooo”

Wilfred crawled down the narrow road with his massive arms, emitting a wailing scream. He looked like a giant centipede. All present were given a physiological disgust that sent chills down their spines.

“—! Archers, fire your arrows! Don’t let that monster get any closer.”

The commanding officer, Justy Oigist, was for a moment transfixed by the strange figure, but quickly regained his senses and shouted. The soldiers who had received the order hurriedly fired their bow and arrow.

Bows and arrows shot out and struck the deformed giant, who had countless arms. The arrowhead pierced his outstretched arm and purple blood flowed, but the ……giant didn’t care and ran down the road at a terrifying speed.

“Don’t waste your time! Just let me kill you!”

“……….!”

Wilfred opened his big mouth wide and screamed. A loud, hair-raising sound shakes the air.

Justy gritted his teeth, enduring the eardrum-breaking scream, and activated his defence spell.

“Block my enemy… [stone wall]!”

A wall built by earth magic blocks the road. The road between the dense trees and the cliffs is narrow and only wide enough to be blocked by Justy’s magic.

It was a relief for the soldiers to see the stone wall blocking the way for the giants to invade….The next moment, the stone wall shattered into pieces.

“….What strength! It looks like your huge body is no decoration!”

Justy was quick to respond. He thrust his spear forward with his thick arm, and a stone projectile shot from its tip.

The stone bullets, with their sharp tips, were powerful enough to penetrate even the most basic of shields.

“Muu !?”

But as soon as it landed on Wilfred’s body, the stone bullet shattered like sand and dissolved into the air, disappearing.

“Don’t be foolish enough to think that you can stop me with earth magic at a level not even close to Queen Osman’s!”

“Mmmm……are you saying that my magic earth doesn’t work?”

Wilfred is an apostle of Osman, the witch of earth. He has a strong resistance to the attribute of earth, and Justy’s magic did not work on him.

Justy’s feet stopped in agitation as the magic sword he had trained with was easily neutralised. The giant’s arm snaked out to Justy, who was snarling with a distorted …… expression, taking advantage of the slight gap.

“Captain Justy! Look out!”

A familiar soldier jumps in between Justy and the giant. The soldier was an old friend of Justy’s, a soldier in the service of the Viscount of Oigist.

“Galeis!”

“Uu…Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!”

Justy reaches out his hand, calling out the name of his comrade in arms,……, but his hand cuts through the air in vain.

A soldier named Galeis was grabbed by a number of arms and dragged into the giant’s arms.

Wilfred, who has turned into a hundred-handed giant, throws the soldier into his mouth and crushes his armour with his huge jaws. With a final scream, the soldier turns into a lump of flesh like a crushed tomato.

“Na..!”

But it was here that …… Justy was shocked. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

It was a soldier he knew who had been chewed up by the giant in front of him……and his face floated to the surface of the giant’s body.

“Oooooooooooo”

The familiar voice let out a mournful wail and arms sprouted on either side of his face.

On closer inspection, the body of the giant with its countless arms was covered with what appeared to be a human face, like human pox.

The face of a man with a look of despair, who has lost all hope, is weeping sadly and making small moaning sounds.

“Are you telling me that all of……these faces are victims of being eaten by giants?”

And the countless arms extending from the body of the giant may also belong to the poor victim.

The body of the giant is more than ten metres long, and it has more faces and arms than Justy can count. They seem to be still alive and part of Wilfred, and they are opening and closing their mouths as if to say something.

“What a pity,Galeis..Forgive me, this powerless general, for I cannot save you!”

Saying sorry to the soldier he knew, Justy slammed his swinging spear into the ground.

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?”

A full-blown blow with earthen magic caused the road to collapse and a cliff to fall.

It doesn’t matter how resistant he is to earth elements, if he loses his footing, it won’t matter. Wilfred’s huge body was caught in the collapse and slid down the cliff.

“You bastarrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddd!!!”

Wilfred’s screams echoed from the bottom of the cliff.

Wilfred was caught in the cliffside, but after falling 20 metres, he was attached to the cliff with his countless arms.

At last, Justy raises his voice in alarm at the monster movement like a bug.

“Run into the woods!　Scatter around and flee from that giant!”

“Hyan!?”

As soon as he had said this, he took the hand of Neferte, who was close by, and ran into the forest beside the road. The prince, screaming like a woman in surprise, ran away at once. His soldiers followed, weaving their way through the trees and running off into the forest.

Neither bow and arrow nor magic will work. The only thing Justy could do was to escape before his troops were wiped out.

His mission is only to buy time until Raidorl comes running in, and Justy was convinced.

That huge boy, he will come after them if they run away. He won’t attack the civilians who are sheltering in the rear first.

“Don’t you dare run away! Aaaaaaaaaah! Give credit for my work so I can be rewarded and you all become a sacrifice to Queen Osman!”

Wilfred came up from the bottom of the cliff and chased after them, trampling down trees. This was exactly what Justy had expected.

“Run! Don’t let that thing catch you!”

Justy continued to run with Neferte, praying for the safety of his men who went separate ways.

In the dense forest, the game of tag between giants and humans had begun.
