The bronze giants were a menace.
They moved autonomously as if they were not just plastic models made of lumps of metal, and they actively moved to annihilate the enemy.
I was a little scared when it suddenly transformed into an animal and attacked me, taking the form of a human.
Kkuddeuk!
Kkwadduk!
[Uoooo!!!]
“What about transforming into a bull?”
A bronze giant transformed into a bull charges.
The sharp, flashing horns had a cutting power that seemed like it would split the body in half if it touched them, but Lee Han blocked them with both hands.
Geumgang.
It lacks the cutting power to cut off his hand.
However, although the cutting power was lacking, the strength was considerable.
Kkuddeuk…!
It is only possible for him to block the full force of a giant bronze bull with his bare body, with all his muscles trembling, but the very premise that a human would engage in a power struggle with such a thing is an error.
But Lee Han did it.
Lee Han finally became able to do a 7-ton squat.
It was the result of his efforts, and his strength grew day by day, and he became more and more excellent in muscle quality.
Of course, I’m still far from my goal of a 10-ton deadlift, but still, this is bullshit!
‘Just blow it away!’
Lee Han used [Kyung].
The emanation of his already strong power was enough to lift objects of much greater mass than him.
Just as an ant can lead a prey much larger than itself to its burrow, or as an insect from the stag beetle or stag beetle family can be grasped in the hand and an extraordinary strength is felt throughout the body.
Lee Han’s Kyung was able to emit such extraordinary power.
Of course, just because you have mastered the sutras does not mean that anyone can do it.
The fact that it can constantly lift a mass of several thousand kilograms also means that a ‘vessel’ that can lift that much mass with ease has to be created, and it must be a strength that only the person who created the vessel can achieve.
“Ewwwwwwwwwww!!”
Lee Han shouted with all his might as if he was shouting.
Spirit is not just a simple roar, it is one of the elements that activates the strength of the entire body.
His roar, full of spirit, was so loud that the wizards nearby would often grab their ears and have their eardrums burst.
Kukukung…!
But what could be more astonishing than the ruptured eardrums of wizards than the sight of a bronze bull flashing and thrashing?
In the midst of a battle where it was unclear whether it was a dream or reality, Lee Han threw the bull away.
Which way?
of course….
[──!?]
Towards the bronze giants.
“Kwaang,” a huge explosion suddenly rang out.
Just getting hit by a flying bronze bull would be a huge shock.
But… .
Push!
“… It hurts.”
Just because it was Lee Han doesn’t mean there was no damage.
As he blew away the bronze bull, blood gushed out from his palm, as if he had used more strength than his limit.
‘Was I too ignorant?’
As expected, pushing forward with brute force is not a good method.
You have to fight while using your head too.
but.
‘I can’t keep using the sword, please.’
I managed to cut down three bronze giants, but I had to stop using the sword after that because of my stamina.
Unlike the way Blackie writes naturally, he still had a lot of wasted energy and was unable to write freely.
It’ll probably take some more time to polish it.
In that sense, it is right to deal with the remaining bronze giants without swords.
If you were to just fight the bronze giant, you could just pull out the sword and use it regardless of whether your stamina is low or not, but from his perspective… .
‘I don’t think it’ll end with a bronze giant or an old spellcaster.’
Lee Han had a gut feeling.
There are still things left on the rooftop.
There has been no enemy as threatening as the ones that have appeared just now… .
This is true.
‘Yeah, that’s how you order.’
It is inevitable that this will live up to expectations.
Yi Han, a man who held wizards in high regard as much as he hated and despised them, ironically felt relieved at the fact that the Magic Tower was not weak.
… … It was an appearance that could not help but show how scary misguided love and hate can be.
* * *
Meanwhile, chaos erupted throughout the empire.
The sight of the castle in the sky, a symbol of the empire, suddenly crashing to the ground was something that everyone had to see, and the news quickly shook the entire empire.
-Who the hell… .
-No, what is going on!
-Ugh…!
-It’s divine punishment, those guys are finally getting their punishment…
The news spread to countless people, including royalty, nobles, and commoners, and the empire quickly went into a meeting.
The topic was ‘Should we go to save the Magic Tower or not?’, but the current empire was a mess, and even the officials who were supposed to attend the meeting were acting lukewarmly.
Also, the empire at the time was full of admirers of magic towers.
It was natural to move slowly.
Although there were some feudal lords and vassals who were considered to be relatively sound, they were inclined to not go to help the Magic Tower, thinking, “Wouldn’t it be better if the central nobles, including the imperial family, were to suffer?”
What goes around comes around.
It was a passage that showed how much resentment he had accumulated and how much he was hated by many in the empire.
… but, one thing.
To be clear, I heard that the Magic Tower suffered enormous damage.
“-There is a ‘confidence’ and ‘trust’ underlying the belief that the Magic Tower will never truly be defeated.”
It would not be an illusion to see that no one in the empire is certain that the Magic Tower will ever be destroyed.
Even if you face a crisis, I always thought you would overcome it.
“Because it’s ‘that magic tower.’”
“… I see. It’s the Magic Tower.”
“… …Is the Magic Tower that great?”
“… … .”
“I, I don’t know, maybe, I can see it that way!”
“… I was just surprised to hear such an unexpected remark. I apologize if I was rude, Young-ae.”
“Okay, okay!”
“…haha….”
The gray-haired boy smiled awkwardly, showing his embarrassment at the sharp conversation between the two strong-willed men and women.
However, the boy immediately went to the beautiful blonde-eyed girl who looked like a fairy and explained to her kindly instead of the black-haired boy.
“… Since it is an organization that has ruled the empire for over a thousand years, it is only natural that the people of the empire would have an underlying feeling that they would never fall. … Even if their own country falls, they would survive to the end.”
“… To that extent, isn’t it a bit like faith?”
“It is possible that faith will arise. The power they have accumulated over a thousand years is a level that even the Pendragons cannot ignore.”
“Hmm, really…?”
“…?”
“It’s so great, but… why are you being treated like this by the instructor and Sir Lark?”
“… … .”
… For a moment, the gray-haired boy, Derek, was at a loss for words.
The girl, Irene Windler, was at a loss for words.
And in his stead… .
“… It’s just those two people who are weird.”
The black-haired inspector, Roen, answered with a tired reaction.
Well, it wasn’t strange to get tired of it.
‘Bronze Giant, I’m sure all of those are level 7.5 weapons…’
The bronze giant’s name is
An invincible bronze soldier and a giant who possesses all the wisdom of the Magic Tower.
Its strength is about three times that of an ogre, and its movements are as agile as a hyena.
Additionally, it has self-repair abilities, breathes 1,500-degree Celsius fire, and can transform into animal forms.
‘A powerful weapon that can destroy five cities with just one unit.’
But there are as many as twelve such weapons.
I think that at that level, it would be possible to erase a small country in a day… .
“… The instructor is fooling around on his own.”
Derek watched the instructor fight with the skills [Zoom] and [Enhanced Vision].
This is a total joke.
My legs were shaking as I lifted and hurled the bronze bull alone.
Is that truly the power of a human being?
“No, I’m not kidding. The instructor is doing his best.”
“…Huh?”
“It’s about pushing with skill, strength, and spirit. However, you’re pushing yourself a little too hard. Save your energy.”
“I, I guess that’s saving energy?”
“Yeah, probably in preparation for the next opponent.”
“… … .”
…Is it different when you look at it from the perspective of a warrior?
It was Roen who was observing the fight from a different perspective than Derek, and Roen’s expression hardened seriously.
“Oh, I see. Then Sir Lark is also conserving his strength right now.”
Irene Windler, who was watching the battle from a distance through a convex lens made of water magic, turned her gaze to the Battle of Lark.
Still, I wanted to see how they would fight since they knew each other’s faces.
The sight of Lark, who was not pushed back at all in a fight with five archmages, and who was able to overcome their magic and even use deadly killing techniques, was literally thrilling.
If Lee Han’s battles are like a thrilling circus, Lark’s fights feel like watching elaborate gymnastics.
It is a close battle where not even a single mistake can be tolerated.
‘What a villain.’
‘Well, since he’s a Lv. 8 hero. Of course.’
The two boys’ evaluations were divided.
The regressor who knew the future nodded because he remembered how powerful the evil spirit was, and he also knew that he was the highest tier hero among his generation.
additionally….
Ding-.

-As expected.
This is an amazing trait that is a top tier tier down.
‘I guess the Thousand-Slayer and the Genius were successfully suppressed thanks to Duke Galahad. Normally, it would have been normal for them to reach level 6 and then self-destruct, but that… .’
‘Of course a warrior or an iron man would get it, since they have that level of talent.’
‘The embodiment of mystery, wow, that’s just a dog? What kind of thing do you have…?’
‘The Guardian of the River… I know it’s as effective as the Giant Slayer, but it’s really rare.’
‘All-rounder!? If he has that, then it’s just a scam. That character wasn’t created to win, but this is… .’
The more I look at it, the more I laugh in vain.
It is top-tier with just the Thousand-Slayer Star and Genius, but its other traits are only Tier 1.
In fact, if you just look at his characteristics, he has greater potential than anyone else.
‘Of course, not everything is determined by characteristics alone.’
At the moment, the Northern Great Warrior Maximus’s characteristics were overwhelming to the instructor, but even so, in actual combat, the instructor was not pushed back.
In this way, traits only show the talents and abilities that a person possesses, not the gap in strength.
It is just a tool, and it is up to the individual how he uses it.
Above all, right now, a level 8 blind man with a strong trait is fighting alongside the instructor.
It’s a fight against archmages.
So what they have to do is.
“Your Majesty, Your Ladyship, let’s get going now. To be honest, we were late.”
Wouldn’t it be important to complete the ‘mission’ given by the instructor?
The two men and women nodded at Derek’s remark.
Realizing that this was not the time to sit back and watch their battle.
but….
“It’s not like we wanted to be late, but rather, I think it’s strange that those two people arrived faster than us, who flew through the sky.”
“Isn’t that the defective artifact that Assistant Derek brought?”
“… They’re not bad guys, they’re just abnormal. More importantly, they’re not that assistant!”
“Yeah, that’s right, right.”
It seemed strange that they were not late because they wanted to be late, but rather that they were running faster than those who had flown through the sky with the artifact.
The three men and women moved quickly to carry out their mission, while sticking out their tongues at the instructor’s teachings that showed humans that nothing is impossible.
“…I wonder if our kids are about to arrive?”
Lee Han thought of his two trustworthy sons and one daughter.
Originally, I didn’t want to get involved, but just in case, I sent a message in advance through Taechang.
I heard that you can come easily because you have an aerial flight artifact?
‘If it weren’t for the three-seater, I would have come riding it too.’
I was chuckling while thinking of such trivial thoughts.
… … kki… kkieeee… profit!
“… Ah, don’t be angry. I’m not ignoring you.”
Lee Han shrugged at his opponent.
I was just worried for a moment about how well the kids would handle things.
Isn’t that a natural thing?
hani….
“Get some rest now.”
[——.]
… squeak… … … .
Kuung…!
The last remaining bronze giant reached out his hand towards Yi Han, but was unable to reach him.
…because it froze and stopped working.
“… He’s not an easy guy.”
Lee Han stuck out his tongue.
He was a strong guy.
It’s not just that he’s strong, or that he can transform, or that he can breathe fire.
It was so damn persistent.
No matter how much you hit it, it keeps regenerating and keeps coming back to you.
Without knowing the guidelines, we rush in with a more refined, better approach.
It was amazing.
Perhaps in addition to the ability to repair, it also has the ability to learn.
If this bronze giant had developed just a little more, it would not have been easy for even Lee Han to defeat him.
However, he was the winner, and the loser was the bronze giant.
hani.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Bam.
Lee Han passed by the bronze giant and hit him.
As if you worked hard.
Passs …
The bronze giant was reduced to dust and disappeared.
It was the end of the guardian deity who had protected the Magic Tower for a thousand years under the command of the Magic Tower.
But unfortunately, no one paid attention to the end of such a guardian deity.
That would be the case.
Kwarrrrrrrr!!
…because a great battle was still being fought.
“Wow, those old spellcasters are definitely fierce.”
The dark clouds that fill the sky rotate counterclockwise, forming a huge air mass.
The wind, thunder, and lightning, along with the tornado, were swaying and sweeping everything away.
Cyclone.
It also happens when a giant cyclone strikes and attacks people.
After taking in the magnificent natural landscape of destruction, Lee Han asked.
“Are you alive?”
“… … .”
“Well, are you finally dead?”
“… Don’t kill without permission, you thug.”
“Tsk, you’re alive.”
“……this guy!”
“Oh my.”
You’re full of energy, kid.
Lee Han looked at the spellcasters scattered around the window.
Thirty?
Their necks are all cut off.
But there was no need to pay attention to such a sloppy order-teller.
The important thing was that there were five old, annoying orderlies.
In that sense.
“… Is that all you did, cutting off an arm?”
“Ugh!”
It’s really disappointing that all he could do was cut off the arm of an old conjurer.
It was Lee Han’s reprimand, and Lark gritted his teeth in anger.
As if it were a reprimand that even he himself had no choice but to admit.
… … Even though it was a shocking thing for wizards.
The wizards who heard their conversation just trembled with pale expressions.
Like a hardened prey in the face of a natural enemy.
