The Rune of the Giant throbbed and pulsed.
Ha ha.
Right.
You were here.
With you sitting right there, it made no sense from the start not to make use of you.
His laughter lasted only briefly before he entered a state of concentration.
Using something in a form that was not a skill felt unbearably awkward, but he had to do it.
Because he had a feeling that, just like Unity of Body and Sword and Formless Sword, there would be more powers like this in the future.
But it was difficult.
How was he supposed to do this?
The Rune of the Giant had responded for now, but how was he supposed to enlarge his body like when he used Gigantification as a skill?
At that moment, the sand golem’s fist fell toward Su-ho.
He had continued creating distance in order to focus on the Rune of the Giant, but as expected, the difference in distance covered due to the difference in physical ability was large.
On top of that, he had not even been able to escape because he had been concentrating on the rune.
Still, it was not as though he could not escape at all.
He briefly released his concentration and gathered strength into his legs.
And the moment he strongly stepped down.
Boooom!!
“......!”
A tremendous stomp.
The sandy ground caved in, and Su-ho’s body moved far away.
At the same time, Su-ho’s body flew into the air.
And Su-ho saw it.
Not only had his body moved far away, but it had also soared upward in an arc.
The reason he had shot upward as though he had performed a pole vault was none other than his own foot.
His foot had momentarily grown larger.
Like that of a giant.
No, not like one. It was a giant’s foot.
The enormous foot of his own that he had seen countless times whenever he used Gigantification.
Crash!
His foot shrank again.
Because of the sudden change, he landed incorrectly and rolled across the ground.
Sand entered his mouth.
On top of that, the sand was hot from being heated by the sun.
Ptoo, ptoo.
It was fine.
Regardless of that, the corners of Su-ho’s mouth were raised.
He rose from his place.
‘So that was it.’
It had not worked when he tried to use it at will, but it had activated in an emergency.
In other words, the dangerous situation had stimulated his instincts, and his instincts had stimulated the Rune of the Giant.
His foot tingled.
He had gotten a feeling for it.
Thump, thump, thump!
The sand golem approached him again.
Su-ho stared at the creature, thought for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth.
He decided to change his strategy.
If he could not use it at will, then he only had to create an environment where it would be used instinctively, right?
Seeing once was better than hearing a hundred times.
He immediately charged at the sand golem.
The creature, seemingly pleased that its target was approaching first, swung its fist as well.
The fist fell.
A gigantic fist.
It looked as though a truck were falling.
He had no intention of dodging.
That mere fist made of sand.
It would hurt if it struck him, but it would not kill him.
Therefore, he boldly faced it head-on.
He jumped and thrust out his own fist toward the descending fist.
At that moment.
Booooom!!
A tremendous roar.
Something gigantic collided with something gigantic.
Their identities were fists.
The sand golem’s fist and Su-ho’s fist.
And astonishingly, Su-ho’s fist was similar in size to the descending fist of the sand golem.
The colliding fists soon mercilessly destroyed one entire fist.
“Guuuuung!”
Su-ho’s fist shrank again.
The sand golem let out a strange cry and swung its intact opposite hand again, aiming for Su-ho.
Su-ho’s body was still in midair.
It was a situation where Leap, Cheolma, and flight were all impossible.
However, without panicking, he twisted and rotated his body.
Then he thrust out his fist once more toward the fist flying at him.
Booooom!!
This time as well, the Rune of the Giant enlarged his fist exactly as Su-ho wanted and completely destroyed the sand golem’s attack flying toward him.
The sand golem had lost both hands.
Now, what are you going to do?
Su-ho’s body fell downward.
When he extended both feet downward, both feet enlarged momentarily this time and helped him land safely.
He did not stop there. He swung his enlarged feet and kicked the sand golem’s lower body, making it collapse completely.
Shururuk!
When the sand golem collapsed, his body returned to normal again.
He laughed.
It felt like riding an amusement park attraction, and it also felt like controlling a transforming robot children played with.
‘Ah, this is not the time for this.’
He had to find the core.
Otherwise, that creature would revive again.
It was too late.
The moment he thought that, the creature had already absorbed the surrounding sand and grown even larger.
“Ha ha.”
It was enormous.
Had it felt like that when he first saw a giant?
But why had it suddenly grown so large without any regular pattern?
I see.
I’m in the middle of a trial right now.
If that was the case, there was no way that creature had simply appeared for no reason.
His eyes narrowed.
As he thought about it, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
That thing had appeared the moment he completely absorbed the Rune of the Giant, and it was gradually increasing the size of its body.
In truth, he had already touched every place where a core seemed likely to be, yet nothing had appeared.
