The giant perceived the two Roses as illusions, evading the one with the shield and charging directly at the original Rose. Rocky attempted to strike during this opening, but the giant had foreseen this and easily deflected him with a swing of his iron chain, causing it to vanish into thin air. Another chain moved to attack the original Rose but similarly disappeared.

"Apologies, but I am the real one," the two Weapowers flew toward the giant once again.

Rose possessed a Talent called "Trickster Twins" that allowed her to create complete copies of herself from her aura, similar to the Oni Mirage Spirits. She used this ability to complement her strategies, often creating intricate tactics during battles. Due to her versatility, she had earned the nickname "Mirage Strategist."

The giant, effortlessly dispersing the Weapower, hurled his chain toward Rose, knocking her out of the air.

Their attacks were ineffective against the giant, who displayed immense physical strength, impervious to their blows. His speed was only barely matched by theirs. Confronted with the giant's overwhelming power, Rocky and Rose, members of Kingside, were powerless and swiftly defeated.

"So... this is Kingside... the current Kingside... truly disappointing!" The giant showed no intention of finishing them off and proceeded toward Grandecy. As he turned away, a figure suddenly leaped out of the trees, swinging his sword to strike at the giant from behind.

Throughout this process, he controlled his breathing, making no unnecessary shouts. He concealed his presence like a beast stalking its prey, only revealing his murderous intent when he struck.

The person clutching the giant sword was Mock, who had been investigating outside and rushed here upon sensing the battle.

An attack like this, aimed at a blind spot and at such speed, was nearly impossible for an ordinary person to evade. However, this giant had already demonstrated the ability to easily defeat two members of Kingside, indicating he was far from ordinary.

Mock slightly sidestepped, causing the sword to miss, and simultaneously swung his chain at the giant. Thankfully, he had been prepared, so even taking the blow head-on didn't result in severe injury or fainting.

"You... are you also Kingside? You seem... slightly stronger than those two from earlier," Mock said, evaluating their comparative physical abilities. Within Kingside, Rocky was second only to him in terms of physical strength.

Despite the recent blow, Mock remained fearless. He recognized the danger the giant posed and couldn't allow him to run free. Even if it meant sacrificing his life, he would defend the honor of Lion Leo's bloodline.
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtrtZH5KJm
"Oh... Lion's blood... Why do you people... take pride in that? For Grandecy... for Homeland... what kind of existence is he?" Upon hearing Leo's name, the giant's reaction wasn't as agitated as before. Instead, he continued to question, appearing genuinely interested.

Although communication with the giant seemed possible, Mock didn't let his guard down. "He is a source of pride for us. He is a shining example for Grandecy and all of Homeland. His spirit lives on in each of us, and we, as his descendants, take great pride in that. It is our driving force and inspiration."

The giant looked at Rocky and Rose lying on the ground. "I want revenge! I want to... utterly destroy the Grandecy royal family!"
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81NP6A0C9A
"Please, calm down! I swear by the blood of Lion, I'll take you to Grandecy right now for confirmation. If there's any deception, you have the power to destroy Grandecy. Let's handle this rationally," Mock proposed.

Since the giant could communicate and a one-on-one fight would only result in casualties, Mock decided to take a risk and lead the giant to Grandecy. With other Kingside members and numerous Huntectors within the city, they could confront the giant if he posed a threat near the city gates.

It was a highly dangerous gamble with no other choice. If they lost, Grandecy would fall.
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTACNqJUJz6
"However, what do you mean by revenge? Who are you exactly?" Mock wanted to gather more information about the giant, hoping for a detailed analysis when he returned to Grandecy.
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEPi736lpj
The giant slowly removed his hood, revealing a face that was unmistakable to all.
285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtn5NlrKAu
"I am your grandfather."

That face belonged to none other than the legendary Huntector Leo, identical to the portrait within the city.
