Episode 283
Gigas Hale’s huge staff approaches, fiercely splitting the air.
The staff, curved like a snake, violently shot out mana and collided with my holy sword.
Paaaat!
Paaaaat!
I can’t believe it, but my body even feels slightly pushed.
The surprise was even greater because what I was unfolding now was the essence of the Martial Spirit Soul Sword.
[Debuff Index: 3.95]
If it weren’t for the monarch’s trickery, the game, which would have been tilted long ago, was still going on tightly.
The only way to get rid of that debuff is to leave control of Berard to Shin Joo-ah.
The effect is certain as it has been tested several times.
However, the battle gap between me and Shin Joo-ah is bigger than the disappearing debuff.
“You’re tired! Human!”
Gigas Hale became more and more arrogant.
I don’t know if there is a Gigas that surpasses Hale on this island of Palene, but for now, this is a critical moment.
If you can absorb Hale’s mana heart, it will be much easier for the next opponent, even if there is a debuff.
[Palas’s Shield]
– Self-recovery mode
– Progress: 73%
Judging by the speed of progress, the shield will only be usable in a few days.
“Human! Then try taking this attack!”
At that moment, Hale’s staff vibrates and emits red light.
Kwakakakang!
An explosion of pouring red mana.
I also swung the holy sword and shot out sword energy.
Two huge energies collide and a battle of mana power begins.
Even inside Berad, I could feel the heat.
Babababababa!
A tight flow of energy that does not lean to either side.
I didn’t push myself too hard here.
Because there was a need to gauge Hale’s strength.
“That’s pretty cool! Human!”
Unlike his relaxed appearance, Hale’s breathing is unstable.
This guy has no choice but to struggle with his strength.
Berad was created based on Gigas Lildi’s Mana Heart, and the amount of mana gained by wiping out Illumi is also considerable, so it is not pushed back.
However, it is difficult to overpower it.
Paaaaaaaa!
In the end, the great clash of Mana ended with them roughly pushing each other away.
“It seems like the debuff has created an exquisite balance of power.”
“This must also be an elaborate plot by the monarch.”
Of course, the longer this fight goes on, the more advantageous it is for me.
Because I’m still growing.
Also, if the game doesn’t end well and the battle continues to the extreme, it will ultimately be my victory as I can use the Shield of Pallas in a few days.
I have no intention of losing at all.
The problem is that the existing plan to meet as many Gigas as possible before challenging Typhon is disrupted.
It was then.
[The strategy book has been sent.]
I really like the progress of the strategy book these days.
The timing of the message being sent is very appropriate.
but… … .
The moment I read the message, my brain stopped.
Because it was difficult to implement as is.
[There is not one monarch who governs the 39th floor.]
This is what Jenna told me directly from the dimensional gap.
Except for the Lord of Wind, it was questionable because no other monarch was involved with us at all.
[Another monarch’s nickname is ‘Guardian of the Home.’]
This really is a shameless nickname.
Because this damn tower has destroyed so many families around the world.
[For reference, the two monarchs on the 39th floor are a married couple.]
At this time, I couldn’t predict what on earth the strategy book was trying to say by adding such a bold statement.
[‘Guardian of the Home’ can neutralize the debuff placed by the ‘Lord of the Winds’. However, the ‘Guardian of the Home’ will only intervene with the player under certain conditions.]
But that specific condition was very absurd.
This monarch is someone who places the highest value on marriage and fidelity.
[If you start a new family, the guardian of the home will neutralize all debuffs that are limiting you.]
Starting a family?
At that moment, Shin Joo-ah’s gaze and mine suddenly cross.
Even in this tense moment of battle with Gigas Hale, incomprehensible ripples begin to arise in my mind.
Paaaaat!

Paaaaaa!
Once again, Hale’s staff and Berard’s lightsaber collide with a force that would distort space.
There, the two snakes lash out with their vicious tongues and pour out deadly poison.
But it is not this situation of intense combat that is eating into my mind right now.
‘You want to start a family?’
It’s a picture I’ve never thought about before.
Because every day in this damn tower was a tightrope walk for survival.
“Shinju.”
For some reason, her name feels unfamiliar.
“Your voice is not suitable for battle.”
“I’m going to tell you a story that’s even more out of place, so listen to it.”
“Yes. I am listening.”
“When the day comes when I finish this tower…”
If it weren’t for the battle with Gigas Hale, he would never have been able to finish his conversation.
“Marry me.”
“Jump!”
Hehehe!
Where Berard jumped, Hale’s staff split the air.
Faaagh!
And then Berard’s perfect kick causes Hale to lose his balance and fall.
My breathing was good.
And then there was silence for a moment.
“Are you confessing?”
“It’s not just any ordinary confession.”
“It certainly doesn’t look ordinary.”
“Now I am proposing engagement.”
Starting a family right now is impossible given the circumstances.
It was thought that the guardian of the home would also take this into consideration.
So what I propose is a binding promise to start a family in the future. It’s an engagement.
“Does this offer involve some calculation?”
“To some extent.”
It cannot be completely denied.
Due to Shin Joo-ah’s exclusive nature, I don’t think she would know that.
“Then I will accept it.”
It’s cool too.
“What if there was no calculation?”
“If I had, I would have refused.”
“Right.”
“As a fiancee, you should at least get a ring. Then jump!”
Faaagh!
The sound of Hale’s ribs being crushed by Berard’s kick is heard.
The whole body is full of vitality.
All the debuffs that were limiting me and Berad disappeared.
[The guardian of the family confirmed the sincerity of the two people.]
[Debuffs due to affinity no longer apply.]
“How dare you be a human!!”
Haley is making a sound of heavy breathing and is about to make a final struggle.
Jiiiing!
I poured as much mana into the holy sword.
Berad’s lightsaber synchronized with the holy sword and began to unfold the season of the martial spirit sword.
Wow!
Hale screams as the body of the two poisonous snakes is cut off.
Now you can feel it.
His fate is not much different from Lil D’s.
Now the two friends will be able to be together forever in Berad.
* * *
After absorbing Hale’s Mana Heart, Berad’s mana output was further upgraded.
As the debuffs that were limiting me disappeared, it felt like I had thrown away the sandbag I had been carrying around.
There will no longer be any Gigas that can torment us on this island of Palene.
“But now it becomes important.”
“I think you know what I mean.”
We still have to hunt Gigas.
Typhon, the king of the 39th floor worldview, is probably at a level that the current Berad cannot compete with.
However, Gigas are beings that we cannot meet through our will.
From now on, it becomes important because you have to be invited into their territory.
If we overwhelm Gigas too easily, Gigas will get scared and won’t invite us anymore.
“I guess Lauren is still there.”
“It’s not that easy, even for a baby Gigas. But I think he can overcome it.”
Lauren will definitely achieve great growth as well.
For now, we’ll just have to focus on raising Berad.
Fortunately, the Gigas of Palene Island still harbor strong hostility toward me.
[Gigas Rudne wants to meet you.]
[Gigas Ryashal wants to meet you.]
.
.
.
[Gigas Loin wants to meet you.]
The kinship among the Gigas is truly amazing.
“Okay then, the next one is Rude.”
Since you can’t guess the level of Gigas just by looking at their names, I plan to attack them one by one.
When I call Rudne’s name, we are once again transported to another dimension.
“Kaaaaaaaa!”
A huge howl.
This time, Gigas with explosive masculinity is waiting for us.
Muscles that seem to explode with abundant chest hair.
You can even feel the massive muscles in the snake’s body that makes up Gigas’ legs.
“It looks weaker than both Hale and Lil D, who we just faced.”
“It’s a shame. We can’t test the true performance of Berad, who has become stronger.”
“Then, may I try controlling Berad this time?”
It’s a good method.
Anyway, the opponent is too weak for me to fight with all my might.
In order to continue receiving invitations from Gigas, it is necessary to adjust the power appropriately, so if Shin Joo-ah becomes the main pilot, this problem can be easily solved.
“Then I think I’ll get off at Berad for a while.”
“Are you leaving your fiancee behind?”
“What a scary story. Outside of Gigant, you can freely use Theia’s Wings and Crimson Flame Demon, so it will be advantageous to cover you. You can do it alone, right?”
“I was joking, of course.”
As soon as I get off Berad, Shin Joo-ah immediately summons a double-edged axe.
Looking at Berad from the outside, it feels like he has become a barbarian warrior.
I spread Theia’s wings and flew up.
In one hand, he had a red-flame fire goblin on standby that could intercept Gigas at any time.
Kwaaaaang!
The battle finally began with Shin Joo-ah’s first strike.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen her cool ax skills.
* * *
Berad is steadily draining mana and becoming more and more of a fraud.
Lil D. From Hale to Ludne. As many as three gigas of manahat are concentrated within Berad.
And Berard’s growth does not end here.
When all the time given to us has passed, it will definitely be at a level worth trying with Typhon.
“Good job, Shinju.”
“Actually, it was dangerous at the last moment. I think the fact that I trusted your cover and charged in boldly was effective.”
“In the end, I didn’t fire a single shot. I didn’t think I would do this well.”
“I’m your fiancee, shouldn’t I do something like this?”
“Here.”
“What is this?”
“You said I should at least get an engagement ring?”
What I presented to Shin Joo-ah was Juno’s ring.
This is a warm item that I just purchased from the store window.
Although it is neither pure gold nor studded with diamonds, it is an expensive item that randomly exerts its power once in times of crisis.
“I think it would be better if you put it in.”
“I?”
It was then.
[The guardian of the home gifts a certain amount of buff to the two people.]
[Buff Index: 2.45]
This is an unexpected and unexpected income.
It doesn’t seem that difficult to put a ring on.
