Chapter 64: Fortress Vs The Titan (2)

Ahem, let’s get back to the main topic."

Although a little embarrassed, I still decided to continue the conversation.

I looked at Yoon and smiled slightly.

"Aster, you came here to fight with a strong opponent, right?"

"...Ahaha, do you really think I can fight that thing."

"Of course not, in this place there is not a single human who can defeat that thing."

"Right..."

Aster nodded her head as if she was convinced and thought the same thing as me.

"But that thing is still a living thing, all living things can die."

"True, but do you think you can hurt that thing?"

*shakes head*

I’ve already said this but there’s no way I can kill or harm that thing right now.

That’s because of that thing’s special ability.

"Then-"

"But I know how to hurt that thing."

"You do?"

"Yes, at least I know that thing more than anyone else here."

I then walked to a blackboard and wrote down the name of the creature.

"The Titan?"

"Yes, that is the name of the creature."

"Why do you know something like that?"

"Right now that’s not important, what’s important is the creature’s power."

"Power?"

I continued my explanation while drawing a creature that looked like a human but with a more hideous form. That was The Titan.

Then I drew a small wall, not even up to the height of the creature’s knees. That was the Frontier Wall.

That huge difference was enough to tell the world how dangerous and big The Titan was.

"Yes, that thing, The Titan not only has the height of a mountain and the power of a bomb. But what’s dangerous about The Titan is its unique power."

I then drew a barrier around The Titan.

"This is The Titan’s unique power."

As I pointed at the barrier, Yoon and Aster looked confused.

"Let me explain. What surrounds The Titan is both The Titan’s body temperature and a barrier to protect the body from external attacks."

"Body temperature but also a barrier? What does that mean?"

Aster asked in confusion, Yoon also looked confused. So I scribbled an inscription on The Titan’s barrier.

"Unlike humans who have a hot body temperature, but that creature has a very cold sublime."

I then wrote down a number.

-1. 000.000 C°

"This is the temperature at the creature’s barrier."

Aster and Yoon looked very surprised when they saw the 6 digit number.

"There can’t be such a creature..."

"In that case, all the places the creature passes through will definitely turn to ice..."

Yes, Aster’s words were true. In fact it was the truth because in episode 1, 1/4 of the world turned to ice because of The Titan who wandered around without being killed.

At that time, humanity had lacked the strength to fight The Titan because of the war between humans and the chaos created by other people.

Dam if I let The Titan loose from here, it’s the same as if I let the world approach the end of the world.

Therefore, I will stop The Titan no matter what.

"Then what’s your plan?"

"It’s simple, I’ll destroy the barrier and I want you to injure and have luck killing The Titan."

"Injure?"

"Yes, The Titan is a cowardly creature. When he is injured, the creature will immediately retreat back to the ’North of the World’."

Thanks to his cowardice, the plan that humanity had prepared went awry.

"Our duty is to protect humanity from The Titan."

I then took out Muspel and revealed Muspel’s powerful fire.

"Fire will win against ice."

I looked at Aster and assured him that this would work.

(You should know. Ordinary fire, especially with a rank as weak as this, would not be able to destroy a barrier with such a cold temperature.

(I know, that’s why I brought Crow.)

(...)

Musepl didn’t say anything else after I mentioned Crow.

Crow is a familiar that I had contracted a few months ago and is actually the Crow Cloak that I bought from the system.

By utilizing Crow’s power, I should be able to break through that thing’s defenses.

(After calming down, I actually asked to die.)

I felt that my panicked self was more like a human, afraid of death. But right now, after calming down, I just don’t feel afraid even though I will die if I continue like this.

"Take it easy, I don’t intend to die."

Yoon who looked like he knew what I was thinking, so I refuted his thoughts.

That’s right, I don’t intend to die.

"If you understand, we will soon have a meeting with the remaining Knights."

"What for?"

"Of course it’s to hold off The Titan for a few hours."

As I tried to get out, I then looked at Aster and said.

"You are the key to our victory. I’m counting on you."

Aster looked surprised by my words and blushed slightly in embarrassment.

I ignored Aster’s embarrassed look and looked at Yoon.

"...Thank you..."

I then went out of the room and headed to the announcement room to call for the Knights to gather.

"...I will definitely win... Don’t underestimate me..."

...

"As I said before, right now an overwhelming enemy is approaching."

In a passionate tone, I shouted at them.

"Right now the destiny of mankind is in your hands, do you care?"

"""No!"""

They immediately answered no.

"Then what do you want to protect?"

I then looked at one of the Knights and pointed at that man.

"You are the disan! Right, you! Answer my question!"

"Ready! Wolfled Territory!?"

"Good! As for the human race, right now you’re just protecting your homeland and your precious people! That’s all you need to know!"

I then raised Muspel and shouted.

"For Wolfled!!!"

"For Wolfled!?"

Seeing their enthusiasm made me happy.

(Is this a new brainwashing method?)

Musep who saw the process from the beginning muttered sarcastically at me.

"They should at least have this kind of spirit, otherwise they’re not Wolfled protectors."

I smiled while looking at the Knights, ignoring Muspel’s sarcasm.

...

Looking at Zend’s retreating back, I felt even further away from him.

Wasn’t I supposed to be close to Zend?

Zend had even begun to entrust Zend’s injuries to me.

But when I saw the fear and anxiety in Zend’s eyes. I realized that I still didn’t know Zend very well.

Just when I thought Zend needed me, Zend was suddenly fine.

Zend was such a strong person, maybe I wasn’t really needed?

Then why would I...

...

My name is Aster Eclipse, a child who wishes to become the strongest human.

I am currently undergoing an assignment from Master, getting to know the world more closely.

I still don’t understand the meaning of Master’s orders, but I’m sure Master’s intention is to meet a strong musub and become strong after fighting against a much stronger enemy.

That was my initial thought, until I met a creature called The Titan.

As soon as I saw the creature, I realized that no matter how much I tried, I could not kill the creature, and even Master, the strongest woman in the world, would not be able to defeat the creature.

Running away, that was the thought that filled my mind.

Even so, the Knights I knew a few hours ago, Knights who should be weaker than me decided to fight with that thing even though they knew they would die.

I didn’t understand their foolish actions, then I received orders from the Knight named Elise to escort Zend back.

I obeyed their wishes and left from there.

Once we reached the Wall, I laid Zend down on the bed. Zend’s fiancée looked like she wanted to say something to me but stopped and checked Zend’s condition.

Zend is fine, Zen just fainted. That’s what I said repeatedly but the girl still didn’t move away from Zend’s side.

If I remember, Master also always accompanied me with that expression when I had a fever.

And when I asked Master why he was doing such a useless act. Master always gave the same answer.

’Love’

And once Zend woke up, he looked panicked and worried. I slapped Zend to make him realize that they were dead.

I thought it was normal after meeting such a dangerous creature.

Then Yoon hugged Zend and said it was nonsense that the previous Knights were alive.

No way!

Even though Zend should have known it was nonsense, Zend’s worried eyes now calmed down.

Why? Didn’t Zend know it was nonsense?

And with that, Zend confidently said that he would fight that thing.

(How can someone who was anxious before be this strong?)

Is this the ’Love’ that the master is referring to?

No, I’m sure it’s not ’Love’ alone. But a stronger connection between the two of them.

And I’m sure that Zend has been strong for a long time.

I think I’m starting to understand a little bit why Master told me to travel the world.

Just as I was thinking that, Zend suddenly said

"You are the key to our victory. I’m counting on you."

In my entire life, I’ve never been trusted by someone like this.

(What is this warm feeling?)
