This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Although only judging by his appearance and identity, compared to this two-meter-five giant, he, a frail magician, is indeed the one who needs protection.

Seeing that the Highlander was still hesitating, Ye Yiyi simply switched to strength, pulled out the heavy sword behind the opponent, and jumped off Timothy's shoulder.

"Your Mightiness……?"

Timothy was stunned, and felt a lightness behind him. Then he saw Ye Yiyi falling to the ground, still holding the two-meter-five heavy sword in his hand.

"???"

　Timothy's pupils widened as he was suddenly stunned.

The sword in your hand... should be my sword, right?

If he saw correctly, did you... raise the sword with one hand?

"As expected of a Highlander's weapon, it's certainly substantial."

Weighing the giant sword in his hand, his eyes swept over the round sword body that had no sense of sharpness, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Without the sword edge, this weapon still has attack properties?

"It's just right for dealing with crystals."

He nodded, looked up at the crystal giant who was leaning on a broken sword and slowly crawling towards the two of them, then he took out the hilt of the Longzhu Holy Sword from behind him and attached a circle of high-speed rotating wind to the weapon.

"All right."

He casually threw the heavy sword with the "Whirlwind Weapon" attached to it to the stunned Timothy, then switched back to the Mage and raised the Invisible Hunter forward.

"Timothy, go and kill the Crystal Beast."

"Ah I?"

Looking at the raging wind wrapped around the blade, Timothy held the heavy sword and looked at the crawling crystal giant with a dazed expression.

"to you."

Ye nodded and then pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled, and several giant puppet hands made of bluestone jumped out from the ground, grabbing all the limbs of the crystal giant and binding them tightly in their hands.

"Roar!!"

The crystal giant's movements were hindered, and he could not help but let out a loud roar, struggling violently with his limbs.

The bluestone puppet's hand trembled violently, and some cracks appeared on its surface, but it still firmly locked the crystal giant to the ground.

Seeing this, Timothy's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized.

Is there such a wonderful magic in this world?

"I'm going! Your Excellency!!"

He raised the heavy sword and took a heavy step. The tremendous force drove him forward like the wind.

Absolute power will bring absolute speed!

This is vividly demonstrated in Highlander Timothy!

With just one leap, he arrived in front of the giant with his limbs bound.

Timothy raised the heavy sword wrapped in the strong wind above his head. His muscles were tangled and his face was as ferocious as a beast. Then he roared and chopped down the heavy sword blessed by the strong wind!

Highlander's combat skill: Rage Slash!!

“Snap!!!”

The heavy sword of the fierce wind broke through the atmosphere and smashed the helmet-shaped crystal head to the ground.

"Roar!"

The crystal giant roared, suddenly raised his intact head, broke free from the puppet hand's restraint with his crystal right arm, and stabbed hard with the broken crystal sword.

"Ignore it and continue attacking."

Just as Timothy was about to sheath his sword and retreat, Ye Yiyi's faint voice came from behind him, followed by the sound of a trigger being pulled.

"Boom boom boom!!"

Three bluestone puppet hands tore through the earth and broke out of the surface, each rushing in a different direction.

He grabbed the giant's right shoulder with one hand, tightly grasped the right arm joint with the other hand, and tightly grasped the right wrist with the other hand.

Three bluestone puppet hands firmly locked the right arm holding the broken sword and pressed it heavily to the ground.

At the same time, more bluestone puppet hands emerged from all around and locked onto various parts of the giant's body. No matter how the giant roared and struggled, he could not break free from the puppet hands' restraints!

"call!"

Seeing this, Timothy no longer had any concerns.

He took a deep breath and then roared angrily.

"what!!"

A faint orange light suddenly emerged from the muscular and strong body. The originally huge physique swelled up by another three points, and the muscles were ferociously exposed, like a devil muscle man!

Highlander Combat Skills Fanatic War Cry!

With a battle cry, Timothy raised his greatsword high and slashed wildly at the giant's head! !

However, Ye Yiyi had already switched to the Power. He was spinning the Invisible Hunter with his fingertips and staring at Timothy who was slashing wildly with narrowed eyes.

The dung beetle looked at Ye Yiyi, then at Timothy. Although he was confused, he also followed Ye Yiyi's example and stared at each other.

Only after the crystal giant's head was completely shattered and the health bar of the light curtain was completely cleared did Ye Yiyi switch back to the Mage with satisfaction, while looking down at the simplified light curtain.

Soul Echo +17250.

Current soul echoes: 206526.

[Special combat skill created - Giant Monster's Roar]

"Not bad!"

Ye Yiyi grinned and looked down at the light curtain.

[The roar of the giant demon]

The Kraken are a powerful warrior race of the ancient Highland Kingdoms.

They are also said to be the ancient ancestors of the Highlanders.

"The ancient Highland Kingdoms? This should be the era before the era of the Land Kingdoms, right?"

Ye Yiyi recalled one of the weapon blueprints he had obtained from the King's Workshop.

The description of the blueprint called "Highland Broadsword" not only mentions the Highland Kingdoms, but also the National Defense War in which the ancient Highland warriors participated.

It is also worth mentioning that the Highland Broadsword is clearly a straight sword, but it is classified as a greatsword, and it is the larger one among the greatswords.

But if it is adapted to the body shape of the Highlanders, it does make sense.

"Descendants of giant monsters?"

Ye Yiyi muttered to himself and walked towards Timothy, who was sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

"Good work, Timothy."

He spoke softly, turning to look at the crystal beast whose crystalline head had completely shattered, leaving only the headless body remaining.

"No... huh, it's not hard... Your Excellency..."

Timothy carried the heavy sword whose whirlwind had dissipated on his shoulder, panting and giving Ye Yiyi a simple smile.

"If it weren't for your magic... Phew, I wouldn't be able to defeat this monster on my own."

Timothy raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and his expression became solemn as he looked at the headless corpse.

"This monster is truly too formidable. Even though it's trapped by magic and can't move, it's still like that..."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the heavy sword in his hand, and looking at the few dents on the sword, he couldn't help but sigh.

"If it weren't for the magical blessing of the whirlwind, coupled with the inherited combat skills of my Highland clan, I'm afraid even if I spent another hour, I wouldn't be able to shatter this crystal skull..."

"Is it?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Then, in your opinion, what would happen if this giant appeared outside, such as in Iron Gray City?"

"This……"

Timothy hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"If I had hired my Knight Master earlier, perhaps he could have relied on the power of the hymns and the siege of the knights, even at the cost of heavy casualties, to achieve a hard-fought victory?"

“Is it rated so highly?”

Ye Yiyi looked at the remains of the giant with a thoughtful expression.

"Of course, if they were just ordinary soldiers, no matter how many came, it would be useless."

Timothy shook his head and added.

"If it appeared in the outside world, it would surely be a disaster. Your Excellency, I finally understand what you meant by the monster at the door."

Ye Yiyi nodded slightly, but didn't feel too conflicted.

In his eyes, destroying this crystal beast was just a matter of a few magic spells.

The soul echo of less than 20,000 is not even as strong as that of the Mountain Sea, and is just a typical small BOSS.

"The upper and lower limits of combat power in these bordering areas are quite different..."

He couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Even with the bonus of hymns, victory can only be achieved with difficulty?

Could it be that the various buff spells used by the bordering natives are different from the spells he uses? Don't they count as independent multiplication zone bonuses?

"I'll have to try it out later. Ling Meng Liu Dad Wu Ling Liu III Liu"

Thinking this, he raised the Invisible Hunter towards the headless body and pulled the trigger again.

Under the light of "sublimated magic", the body of the crystal beast disappeared into thin air.

A giant mummy, about three meters tall and completely naked, appeared not far from the two men's feet.

"Is this location, the main body, located in the heart of the crystal giant?"

Ye Yiyi pinched her chin and walked over.

"It seems this so-called Dynamax isn't quite complete. The outside is all crystallized..."

"This……"

Timothy stared at the scene from behind, dumbfounded again.

"Disappeared? How could that happen?"

He stared at Ye Yiyi's back, and suddenly felt a little confused.

I fought hard for a long time to kill this monster, and you just pulled the trigger and it disappeared completely?

Recalling the other party's action of holding his heavy sword with one hand, Timothy felt his vision blurred.

So, there's actually no need for me to participate in this battle?

Ignoring Timothy who was in self-doubt, Ye Yiyi came to the giant whose skin was torn, muscles were atrophied, blood was drained, and only bones were left, and raised his hand to turn him over.

Then he saw the empty skin on the left chest of the mummy.
