Chapter 153
Hyeonu kept running . It was the first time he had played so hard since starting Arena .
‘I’m almost there . ’
As a result of the frantic run, Hyeonu succeeded in going to the nearest bell tower . He didn’t know Floyd’s exact behavioral radius, but this distance seemed close enough to irritate Chroma’s nerves . Of course, it would be great if Floyd got involved in the battle .
‘I will fight again here . ’
“This time, absolutely never come out . The moment the opponent uses decisive magic, that is when you use Roar . Got it?”
Tang-E nodded at Hyeonu’s words .
“I know . I won’t come out this time,” Tang-E replied, grabbing Hyeonu’s hand . He waved his hand over and over as if asking Hyeonu to trust him .
Hyeonu hid Tang-E in a tree again and waited in a wide-open space for Chroma . After a while, the angry Chroma arrived at the vacant space . He turned his head and seemed to be looking for Hyeonu . Right then, Hyeonu reappeared and greeted Chroma with an attitude like they were close friends . “Who are you looking for?”
Chroma gritted his teeth when he saw Hyeonu grinning like something good had happened . “Weren’t you running away? Why aren’t you running further?”
“I don’t feel the need to do so . I think I can win now . ”
It was time for Hyeonu to use all his power . Hyeonu used the giant skills that he had kept in reserve during the previous battle .
[Giant’s Power has been used . ]
[Your strength stat has increased . ]
[Giant’s Nature has been used . ]
[Your strength stat has increased . ]
He used the giant skills and felt like he could smash everything in the world . Then he ran toward Chroma who was showing a strong hostility to him .
“Floyd handed over the sacred relic! You have completely played me!” Chroma became even more furious .
This aura he felt from the human was the aura emitted from the chief’s sacred relic . From generation to generation, the chief represented the armed force of the giants . The source of their strength was the sacred relic . It was a ring that amplified the strength of the owner . Even if Chroma had made a request, it couldn’t simply be handed over to a human .

‘Handed me the sacred relic?’ Hyeonu thought about something and felt like he was floating in the air . He always thought the giants were familiar for some reason . Come to think about it, the ring he wore had the word ‘giant’ and the skill had it as well .

‘Yes!’
The background of the ring must be this dungeon . Chroma and Floyd were the giants from the item description .
‘This means . . . ’
It meant Hyeonu could get the one remaining part of the set item—the sacred relic that Floyd would give him . This luck came to him from a coincidence .
‘I have to finish this quickly . ’
It was a unique rated set . Moreover, it was a rare set of accessories . Hyeonu gathered as much magic power as possible and inserted it into Dark Star .
“Die!”

Hyeonu’s pure energy struck Chroma’s defensive wall . It was a simple slash using Heavy Blow, but the stats raised by the giant skills provided more attack power . Chroma’s defense wall was broken like glass . Just then, Hyeonu’s vision flashed blue again . Chroma was using the origin magic .
‘Blink!’
This time, Hyeonu was prepared to some extent and was able to pull himself out of attack range using Blink . However, there wasn’t only one strike . The lightning continued to fall to the ground .
‘There is no cooldown . How does he keep using it?’ Hyeonu grumbled inwardly and continued to use Blink . He couldn’t help it . The speed at which the lightning struck was too fast to avoid just by moving his body . Finally, Hyeonu used all seven Blinks, but Chroma’s use of magic wasn’t over yet .
Chroma would keep using it unless someone made him stop . Hyeonu’s vision once again flashed blue . This was already the eighth use, which meant that Hyeonu couldn’t use Blink anymore . It seemed that Hyeonu’s body would be struck by lightning this time .
“Chroma!” An intense voice rang from the forest behind Hyeonu at this moment . It wasn’t just the voice . The magic that was in the voice shook Chroma’s magic . The blue lightning didn’t reach Hyeonu . It died in the air instead .
‘Floyd is here . ’ Hyeonu sighed with relief .
He turned and saw Floyd standing with an excited face .
“You finally came to me, Chroma . ”
Chroma’s face turned deathly pale when he saw Floyd . It seemed that Chroma was quite scared of him . Floyd was likely of the highest level among the chiefs . The energy emanating from his eight-meter-long spear had a mighty power . Due to this, Floyd received enthusiastic support from most giants .
Hyeonu smiled at Chroma’s expression . ‘I will once again profit from this scenario . ’
This was a trait of virtual reality games these days . If he used NPCs well, then he could achieve good results . However, it didn’t take long for the smile on Hyeonu’s face to disappear . ‘Why isn’t he moving?’
After reaching a certain distance, Floyd stopped approaching them . Hyeonu shook his head . If Floyd took one step closer, then his huge spear would pierce Chroma . Yet Floyd didn’t move anymore . Chroma saw it, and his face became rosy again . He noticed that Floyd’s limit was up to here .
“Floyd, the curse is still present . Look well at how this human will die . ”
While Chroma was speaking and Floyd was feeling angry, a black figure approached Chroma . It was Hyeonu trying to attack in this gap . Chroma was so concerned about Floyd that he forgot about Hyeonu . To be exact, he forgot about Hyeonu’s attack power . Dozens of black energy blades filled the air . Hyeonu had used Mysterious Sky Range after the cooldown ended .
“Where are you looking?”
Hyeonu’s pure energy broke through Chroma’s defensive wall and left him with a body full of wounds . This time, it inflicted more wounds than before . This was due to the reduced strength required to remove the wall, leaving more strength for the attack on Chroma’s body .

Something red sprayed from Chroma’s body . The bleeding state caused by Crasul’s curse increased the amount of blood flowing out from Chroma’s body by several times .
“Kuah!” Chroma screamed as energy drained from his body . Then dozens of fireballs flew toward Chroma .
‘Avoid it . . . ’ Chroma instinctively noticed that if he were hit by this magic, his chances of winning would be significantly reduced . However, the binding around his body betrayed its master’s willpower . The fireballs made from Tang-E’s Fire skill struck Chroma in turn, even striking the places where the wounds Hyeonu dealt him were still present .
This was a fatal blow to Chroma . His physique was fine, but concentration was required to cast magic . Now his entire body was hot and stingy . Not only that, he still had to pay attention to the opponent’s attacks . This should be impossible even for the great shaman Chroma .
However, he did it . Chroma endured the pain and used magic . He pulled magic power from the surroundings to restore his wounds and prepared a new spell to escape . Just then, Tang-E appeared . It was the timing Hyeonu had told him about . Tang-E’s Roar prevented Chroma’s magic from activating . It twisted Chroma’s magic power . Hyeonu dug in at this important moment . The pure energy left a huge cut from Chroma’s left thigh to his right shoulder .
Thump! Chroma knelt down in pain . A rumble emerged from the ground the moment the massive mass collapsed . Once again, Hyeonu aimed his single-edged sword at his opponent . Dark Star cut Chroma’s neck neatly . It was a result achieved with Hyeonu and Tang-E’s proper coordination .

[Experience has been acquired . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[All health and magic power have been restored . ]
[Fallen shaman who led the clan down the path of extinction 1/1 . ]
‘Now all that’s left are the 100 giants . ’
Hyeonu waited for Chroma’s body to disappear and said to Floyd, “I am thankful . I was almost hit by lightning . . . ”
Hyeonu expressed his gratitude to Floyd .
“I have to express my thanks on behalf of my clan . The fallen shaman is finally dead and my clan avenged . . . ” Floyd gestured for Hyeonu to come closer .
Hyeonu approached Floyd .
Then Floyd removed the ring on his finger and handed it to Hyeonu . “I don’t know how you got them, but you have the sacred relics which disappeared after we were cursed . They are sacred relics that only show their true power once all three are gathered . ”
Hyeonu received the ring .
‘The quest isn’t over yet . . . ? But I received the compensation first?’
“Why are you giving this . . . ?” Hyeonu muttered although he didn’t know who he was talking to . The question was quickly resolved . It was because the quest update message appeared .
[The quest has been updated . ]
[Defeat the giants 557/657 -> Defeat the giants 557/557 . ]
[The Abandoned Giants quest has been completed . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
[You have leveled up . ]
[All health and magic power have been restored . ]
[The giant’s sacred relic has been acquired . ]
“I ended the rest of the clan with my own hands . That’s why I was late . My life has been maintained by the sacred relic so far . Now that I am no longer necessary, I think it would be okay to give it to you . ”
As Floyd finished talking, he slowly started to disappear . He began to turn into powder from the tips of his toes . Soon after, Floyd disappeared, and Hyeonu was forced out of the dungeon .
“I came out on my own . . . ?” Hyeonu looked around at the Balder Mountains in a slightly flustered manner . Then he realized . . .
“Items!! The items that Chroma dropped!!”
He had been distracted by Floyd and missed picking up the items .
“Kuaack!”
A beast was added to the Balder Mountains today
