Red columns shot up from the seabed. The beams of the cemetery giants were so dense that it was not easy to avoid them, but the two of them used mana and aura to adjust their direction while descending.
Like people who had been breathing together for a long time, they didn't need to say anything. Jin and Valeria moved as one body and took care of each other's safety.
Jin mostly knew her fighting style from his past life memories, but Valeria did not.
Still, when Jin fought with Valeria, he felt a strange feeling, just like her.
'Unlike me, the teacher doesn't know who I am in this life, but we always fight so well together.'
'Fighting with Jin is always strangely stable….'
The two of them had not yet suffered any significant damage as they headed towards the center of the enemies, but the sky was already in a frenzy.
The Vamel Alliance was not damaged thanks to Cuicantelle's excellent evasion, but the pursuit forces of Zipfel, Kinzelo, and the Garden of Swords were in trouble due to their overwhelming numbers.
Small fish that escaped from the net and those that couldn't. That was exactly the state of the Vamel alliance and the other forces. Only Cuicantelle was leisurely dodging the beams protected by those on her back.
Each force's skilled members did their best to minimize friendly casualties, but the power of the cemetery giants was beyond common sense.
If each of the cemetery giants had a transcendent quality, Jin would not have thought to fight. No matter how strong it is, a weapon without a sense of self has its limits.
Whoaaah-!
Along with the red beams, giant spears flew in from all directions. They were so fast that their size and weight could not be imagined.
When Jin deliberately tried to strike the first spear that arrived instead of avoiding it, his wrist suddenly became stiff.
'Solid attacks, but they lack variation or depth.'
Repetitive patterns like a machine reacting to certain situations.
However, they were able to break through the defenses and land on the ocean floor without much trouble, despite the increasing complexity and fatigue from the large number of obstacles.
As soon as the two of them landed, the defensive equipment on the buildings began to activate and aim at Jin.
'Is it an automatic reaction mana cannon like the one Lady Amela made?'
The mana cannon did not identify friends or foes. Even if the cemetery giants were in the way, the cannon fired in Jin's direction.
However, the cannon bounced in all directions like light reflected in a mirror. The cannon hitting the bodies of the cemetery giants made a clunking noise that was not fitting for its power.
Most of the beams bounced off into the sky or the wall of the sea, but there were still too many that threatened Jin and Valeria's path.
'This could be a bit tiring.'
At that moment, Valeria struck the ground with her silver oak staff. A massive magic circle was formed, flowing along the groove.
"It's not a protective shield."
"I'm going to twist the flow of the reflected beams. So you just focus on destroying the cemetery giant."
The mana extended emanating from the circle began to carve runic letters into the air. The thousands of runic letters were fixed about five steps apart from each other, and the beams could not easily pass through them.
Even the cannon beams that were caught in the runic letters could not touch the two of them. The beams seemed unable to recognize the radius of the two people's movements.
'The size of mana is much smaller than the destructive power of the beams... how is this possible?'
It was like a master deflecting a sewage attack with much less force. Valeria was accomplishing what is usually only seen in battles between warriors with her magic.
'I think she probably survived from elder sister Luntia through this magic.'
It was Jin who was shocked by his teacher's magic.
"I get it."
Pzz-!
Sigmund had a deep lightning energy.
Then, Jin put all his strength into cutting the ankle of the cemetery giant blocking their way. The blade did not go in smoothly.
Instead, one part of the ankle was broken and dug with a dull roar, but Jin thought that was enough.
'If I focus and swing my sword with determination, I could cut through it, but...'
In order to do that, Jin needs to be highly focused every time he swings a single time. He didn't see the point of fighting so inefficiently.
Grasp!
As the blade was embedded in the bone and caused an explosion, the ankle of the cemetery giant broke. Although the form in which Jin, a skilled knight, had cut the giant was somewhat messy, the effect was definite.
"Groooan...!"
As the cemetery giant with a broken ankle knelt down to stabilize itself, Jin leaped forward and plunged his sword into its head.
Just as the head was smashed and before the smashed head debris fell to the floor, Jin descended like lightning and knocked out the spears that were flying towards Valeria.
It seemed like the thunder god was stepping on the spear and crushing it. Compared to the cemetery giants, Jin was small enough to look like an insignificant creature, but his presence was incomparable even with all the giants combined.
'If my father were here, he could have disintegrated these guys naturally without having to concentrate.'
For a moment, the thought of his father crossed his mind, and he narrowed his eyes.
"You seem to have the luxury of having other thoughts. Here, I have to risk your life every moment."
"I'll try to focus a little more."
In fact, just as Valeria twisted the trajectory of the mana cannon, Jin could have made sure she would not be hurt. Even with the cemetery giants, it was possible.
Valeria knew that as well, but she had said it for no reason. Jin was a little surprised at the fact that she was saying something useless.
A pleasant battle.
Regardless of the situation, the two of them were becoming more and more lighthearted as they perfectly matched each other's attack and defense. When Jin swung his sword, something on the graveyard giant would break, and when Valeria cast her spell, their attacks would go awry.
It seemed like they could enjoy breaking the cemetery giants no matter how many of them there were.
Already, more than ten cemetery giants had been destroyed. Even amidst this, there were new cemetery giants forming, but fortunately, they were not appearing faster than the two could handle them.
Moreover, the rate at which new cemetery giants were appearing was slowing down. Jin expected that they would stop being generated once a certain number was reached.
"Jin."
"What?"
"Originally, these weapons do not operate when their protectee disappears."
"Do you mean that the remains of a forgotten God may be somewhere in this tomb?"
"It could be, or... the god itself might still be there."
"Could the supposedly living Old Runcandel be a god?"
"I can't confirm until we meet them since I don't have access to magic records right now. Even if we examine the records, there's only so much we can know at our current level. Also, their movements seem too simple, even for being straightforward."
Valeria's words made Jin suddenly feel like the movements of the cemetery giants were strange, as if they had a specific purpose.
"From what you've said, it doesn't seem like the cemetery giants are only moving to get rid of intruders."
Since each one was so massive and they had to destroy whatever was in their way to protect their allies, Jin hadn't noticed it until now.
"The form of their formation isn't one of encirclement, Valeria. It just looked like that because of their size."
Jin and Valeria started to examine the overall movement of the cemetery giants as they passed between their legs.
Firstly, not all of the cemetery giants were attacking Jin and Valeria. Some giants just stood still and looked at the ground, while others were digging in the earth.
Unless something was broken, there was only one reason to dig in the ground.
"They are trying to find something."
"The cemetery giants exploring the underground have more elaborate forms than the other giants. Jin, if my prediction is correct. This is an ancient method of breaking the seal. They are trying to find the core of the seal buried somewhere here."
"After finding the core?"
"All of the cemetery giants' power will be connected to the core, and the seal will be released. The reason the sword has been flying for so long was probably to find the location of the hidden core."
"Then that means if we defeat them all, it will prevent the sealed being from waking up."
Valeria nodded her head.
"The choice is yours."
The sealed being that would wake up from the seal is the old Runcandel, who is presumed to be a god or a divine being.
There is no guarantee that whoever it is, will show favor to the two of them. On the contrary, there was a much higher possibility that they would come out as hostile.
Or, there was a possibility that it was more than just being hostile, and it was filled with resentment and hatred like a Padler.
"Let's wake it up." However, Jin did not hesitate.
If he destroys all the cemetery giants immediately, he and his party will be safe, but a piece of the old Runcandel's history will be lost forever.
From then on, the two of them switched to a defensive stance. The cemetery giants continued to attack, but gradually decreased their intensity as the two did not counterattack.
After about ten minutes had passed, the cemetery giants stopped attacking the two of them. However, the attacks towards the sky did not cease.
"The cemetery giants are not attacking lord and Arya. It must be the result of Lord finding some clues. We just have to keep dodging and blocking!"
Thanks to this, the sky became even more chaotic, but Jin's comrades were not affected much.
In the first place, the Vamel Alliance did not fight back even once after the cemetery giants woke up.
On the other hand, Zipfel, Kinzelo, and the Garden of Swords fought back all the time, so the cemetery giants didn't even recognize Cuicantelle as enemies from some point on. Even so, the reason why she sweated hard to avoid the red beam was simply because her allies were blocking the path to attack the recognized enemies.
"I almost committed a great disrespect to my ancestors who woke up after a thousand years."
After about 10 minutes passed, a cemetery giant vibrated with his eyes flashing. Coincidentally, it was right in front of Jin and Valeria.
"GROOK!"
As the cemetery giant roared, the other giants also lit up their eyes and shook their bodies, as if it was a process of injecting power into the core of the seal.
The Cemetery Giant, who roared first, finally raised its hands that had been waving beneath the sea.
In its hands was a small sphere shining like a miniature sun, and Jin and Valeria could see the power of the Cemetery Giants concentrating on that sphere.
"I pray that only what we can bear will awaken, Jin."
