"What is this nightmare?" The Huntector stationed on the city wall could clearly see the horrifying situation below, and their expression was one of pure terror.

The man who stood with them on the city wall had his hair tied up neatly, his expression serious, and his eyes no longer wandering. He was attentively observing the situation, dedicated to his duty.

The sacrifice of one person not only saved hundreds of lives but also changed another person.

Shoyo and the others had just finished their classes and were shocked by the sight of the pillars of fire and black smoke outside the academy's gates. The students around them were discussing fervently, another major event following Fakeslave. Even the instructors couldn't help but sigh at this eventful year.

Tomorrow was the "Imperial Ceremony," and the eight candidates were completely focused on their training. The ceremony's contents would only be revealed at the moment of the event, so all they could do was train continuously to prepare for various challenges.

However, even from within the city walls, everyone could still see the unfolding disaster.

"How dreadful. Is something happening over in 'Paradise'?" Rachel had never experienced such a disaster.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi5TInpLxx
Even Cloude, who was usually calm, was shocked. "What in the world..."

After the incident, the royal family immediately dispatched "Kingside" to investigate and reassure the populace. This time, it was Rocky and Rose who were in charge.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkJGYNBIIk
"Don't worry, everyone. We're heading out to investigate personally! The Huntectors within the city will protect you all as usual!" Rocky rallied the people as they left Grandecy.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqcENZbwif
"With Rocky leading the way, we can rest assured."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvLnQC6Yso
"Yeah, yeah, that's right."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrW0z1go3F
"Indeed, we're fortunate to have Kingside in Grandecy."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq1GRepoZR
"Rose, give it your all too!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLxvUC80yv
Although Rocky had been injured by the new type of Skullbreaker earlier, his actions during the siege event, combined with his enduring image, had not diminished the people's confidence in "Invincible Stone."

Rose, on the other hand, didn't really mind the attention, as she was naturally low-key. However, her strategic acumen was outstanding, as seen during the previous siege event. She focused more on practical results and effectiveness and was a practical strategist.

The two of them headed towards the disaster area and noticed that along the way, the trees and roads displayed slight gray and white spots. Rose bent down and touched them, discovering that these spots could be wiped away. Although they were still some distance from Four Cities, it was enough to demonstrate the extent of the impact.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql1R0aS6VX
As they continued, they found that the spots had become denser, indicating they were getting closer to their destination. "You can imagine how severe the situation must be at the core, and it definitely has an impact on the ecology," Rose muttered, worried because of her care for nature and animals.

After walking for a while, they suddenly stopped. A colossal figure blocked their path. The height was far beyond what an ordinary human could reach, even Rocky could only reach the giant's waist.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkSnmd61f5
The giant wore a strange leather hood that covered its head and shoulders, obscuring its face. There were small holes at eye level on the hood. The giant's limbs were shackled with iron cuffs and chains that had been cut, and it wore only tattered shorts. Most importantly, its body was extraordinarily muscular and terrifying, even compared to Mock.

"Ugh..." The giant stood in their way, emitting a beastly growl, and Rocky and Rose confronted it, maintaining a cautious distance. Although the giant didn't make any aggressive moves and no energy emanated from it, the oppressive feeling was enough to keep them on guard.

"What do you think, young one?" Rocky inquired cautiously, as he had always taken special care of younger individuals.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalG7AQTT24
Rose, with her rich experience of interacting with animals, was sensitive to the situation. However, for this to work, she had to see this giant as an ordinary creature.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zIFnKyd7Y
Rocky, on the other hand, believed that even if it had been modified, it was still a Skullbreaker and could only be subdued through force. "Well, you can see that this fellow means trouble. Do you really think we can communicate with it?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXClSRB6u9z
Just as they were discussing their next move, something even more surprising happened.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGlLwlgaC2
"Hey, have you talked enough... who are you?" The giant suddenly spoke in a rugged, unpolished manner, as if it wasn't used to speaking. Its words were muffled due to the hood, making them quite indistinct, but it was undoubtedly human language!
