Giant fruits and crops that grow only in Polyphel.

If you sold it in a foreign country, you could make a huge profit, so it was like a hit-and-run opportunity for a merchant.

Even though it may be a bit risky, no merchant would pass up an opportunity that comes his way.

Fabiel, who had run away after hearing about the Cyclops’ culture, took control again.

“I will only buy fruit! There is no plan to stay overnight or anything like that!”

“Yes, I will protect you if you make a mistake, so you can go in peace.”

Even though Lian said he would protect him, Fabiel seemed anxious and was wary of the instigation.

I didn’t doubt Ryan’s skills.

However, I thought that even if I could protect the party, I would not be able to protect the carriage.

In order to pay for his wife’s medical treatment, he had to protect the carriage that transported goods.

“Father, I’m going to die after this.”

“Haha… ! I’m sorry, Aaron said he would protect me, but I don’t feel at peace at all.”

“That’s possible. If you’re feeling anxious, I’ll be your bait, so you can leave in the meantime.”

“Yes? Anyway, how can we leave Aaron behind and run away by ourselves?”

“I have a very good means of escape, so don’t worry and run away without looking back.”

“Then, when I feel like I can’t do anything, I will do as you said.”

“Yes, the meeting point will be in a village beyond Mullus Hill in 3 days. If I don’t come after 3 days, you can leave then.”

“Okay.”

Lian had no intention of involving Fabiel and his wife in personal matters.

I was planning to use the Cyclops to temporarily separate and then visit the orc colony on Mulus Hill alone.

At first, I was worried about the appearance of Cyclops, but I felt relieved when I thought about using it in reverse.

For Lian, who tried to hide her identity as a sword saint, Father and Sister Fabiel were shackles.

Lian didn’t want to think of it that way, but it was undoubtedly true.

“I can see the village!”

“Don’t stay too long, just grab what you need and leave.”

“Yes!”

You never know when the Cyclops will appear.

That fact was whipping father and daughter Fabiel.

As soon as they entered the village, they quickly disembarked and moved quickly.

The village in the Polyphle region was an open village with no external walls to block external invasions.

There were no guards in charge of security within the village, let alone gatekeepers, so the reason could naturally be attributed to the Cyclops.

Even if there was an outer wall, it was prone to collapse by the Cyclops, and even when thieves invaded, the Cyclops kidnapped all the men.

The bandits, with only women left behind, were easily resolved by the residents of the village.

There was no major security problem, but the concern was that the Cyclops did not discriminate between people and only kidnapped human males.

“I smell a man like a ghost.”

thud! thud! Intense vibrations coming from the nearby forest.

Rama, who was negotiating, spoke faster, and Fabiel’s hands, which were carrying goods, also moved constantly.

I was filled with the desire to pack up my trade goods and leave as soon as possible.

Cyclops peeking out from behind the trees.

They caught Fabiel, who was loading goods into a carriage, with a single eye with monstrous vision.

Indeed, they began to grin and become excited at seeing their prey for the first time in a long time.

Because the Cyclops’ bodies were so massive, their appearance caught Fabiel’s eye.

Fabiel fell into a state of panic as he saw the giant smiling cruelly at him.

Before he could scream in fear, Lian’s palm tapped his shoulder.

“Calm down. You didn’t forget what I told you, right?”

“Ah… ! I haven’t forgotten, but is it okay? It’s a group, not a single entity?”

“No problem. I will be the bait, so go quickly.”

“Okay!”

Lian encouraged Fabiel and told him to hurry and get out of the area.

At the same time, Lian charged back at the Cyclops who were advancing towards the village.

It was to act as a decoy until the carriage escaped the Cyclops’ eyes.

“Whoop… ! Huh… ! He’s a human male!”

“Whoever catches it first gets it!”

“A man with a ponytail! rare… !”

“Fuck! Even the content of the conversation is really scary.”

Rihanna didn’t straighten her hair after coming into the world, so her hair was almost long.

Because it was a hassle to cut, I tied my hair back, but that appearance was arousing the Cyclops’ excitement.

The attention of the Cyclops who came out of the forest focused from Fabiel to Lian.

As he stretched out his arms to have Lian all to himself, Lian cleverly moved his legs.

“I will definitely catch you!”

“This human is mine!”

“I won’t hand it over!”

“Fuck, I didn’t want to become popular like this… !”

[Hi-Hi! It’s cheap! Insa!]

Lian escaped from the Cyclops’s grasp with flexible movements and walked between his legs.

It was like children trying to catch a flying squirrel with their bare hands, so there was no way they could catch it easily.

“Wow!”

When Lian could not be caught, Cyclops, whose patience reached its limit, struck the floor with his club.

The intention is to block Rian’s escape route with a club.

[I, Advent!]

Rian dug under the club and took out an iron sword.

If he made a mistake, he could have been crushed, but he calmly drew his sword.

He swung his sword along the uneven texture of the club and ran it smoothly.

“Wow?!”

Although it was weak compared to the power exerted by the excited Cyclops, it derailed the trajectory of the cliff.

The giants were quite surprised by that fact.

Unlike the humans he has met so far, he is noble and has strong abilities.

This soon stimulated the Cyclops’ desire to collect.

Meanwhile, Lian was checking that Fabiel’s carriage had left the village and was moving away.

We are leaving the village and going over a small hill.

It was so far away that it would be difficult to catch it even if the Cyclops chased it right away.

‘I feel safe about this.’

Lian is staring blankly at the carriage leaving its place.

Countless hands of Cyclops were falling all at once on top of him.

They were gloating that they had finally caught it, but their grip was empty.

The Cyclops began looking around to find Lian, who had disappeared.

“I am here. You bastards.”

The Cyclops all raised their heads at the sound of a voice coming from overhead.

There was Lian, jumping high with his back to the sun.

“Let’s start with just one light hit.”

[Just right!]

Lian laid down the iron sword and positioned it so that the wide part of the sword was facing straight ahead.

At this, the Cyclops were snorting or laughing.

It has skin so thick that even if you cut it with a sword blade, not a single scratch will appear.

But is it even possible to attack without even sharpening the blade?

The corners of Lian’s mouth turned up grimly as he looked at the Cyclops who were convinced that this was a meaningless act.

“Everyone will think it’s useless. Before I got hit.”

Lian swung his iron sword sharply.

The trajectory of the sword that the human body could produce was limited, but it was a sound that did not apply to him.

The trajectory spread out wide enough to reach the heads of the Cyclops gathered together.

Byak-!

It gave a strong shock to the top of their heads along with a dull sound.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

“Keuuuk!”

The Cyclops’ eyes rolled back from the shock that shook their brains.

They fell to their knees, lowered their heads, and lost consciousness.

Rian, who landed lightly in the meantime, sternly sheathed his iron sword.

Then the impact occurred again on the Cyclops’ heads and they fell completely sideways.

“Hmm… .”

Even though he had defeated a group of Cyclops, Lian’s expression was not relieved but rather confusing.

The way he was stroking his chin looked like someone who had come across a scene that was difficult to understand.

‘That pit… … .’

While in the air, Lian was able to see the full view of the forest.

And there he encountered a familiar sight.

A huge pit in the middle of the forest.

At first, it was thought to have been created from an explosion of high-level magic, but it was quite different.

‘The hollow parts were all crooked, weren’t they?’

It was not dug evenly and neatly, but some parts were less dug and some parts were deeper.

It was a pit that looked like someone had bitten into an apple with their teeth.

Normally, it would not be easy for a shape to appear, but it was a quite familiar sight to Lian.

‘Is it Grishuras…? ?’

It was none other than a pit created when the Great Sword of Predation was swung.

When the great sword was struck down, the shape of the pit was always going to be strange because Grishlas ate away part of the land.

‘As expected, Grishlas also turns into a human and walks around?’

Lian had never seen anyone other than himself wield the Great Sword of Predation.

It was natural, because Rian was the only one who pulled out the great sword that was deeply embedded at the end of the world.

To that extent, he believed that there was no one other than himself who could properly handle Grishlas.

Therefore, it was determined that the pit that appeared in the middle of the forest was Grishlas’s sole action.

‘I wanted to check it out in person if possible, but it’s a shame.’

Lian wanted to know whether his thoughts were right, or whether someone other than himself had appeared who could handle Grishlas.

However, in the forest there is only a desolate pit that is believed to have been left behind by Grishlas.

There was no sign of Grishlas anywhere.

‘If it’s really true that my beloved swords have turned into humans and are moving… … .’

Ryan started to imagine.

The image of himself carrying women around his waist and behind his back.

It was an incredibly bizarre sight, but Lian said nothing.

He secretly thought it wasn’t a bad thing, and it was proof that he was slowly becoming a black man.
