Chapter 395: Chapter 392: The Stone Giant’s Rebellion

The stone giant, several meters tall, already gave off a sense of oppression when lying down.

And as the core was repaired and restarted,

this ’creature,’ utterly unrelated to any organic body, again stood amidst the ruins of the church district’s square.

Bits of stone and dust fell from its body.

At this moment, much like rising from ’water,’ the stone giant began to search for its enemies, as slight tremors started in the stones and dirt on its body.

Not far away,

a clergy member who had only run a few meters glanced back and couldn’t help but exclaim,

"This... is it too big?"

"..."

At the same time, the man lying at Ronald’s feet looked at Ronald walking toward the stone giant and almost couldn’t help but laugh derisively,

"See? This is the first one."

"..."

This comment seemed to awaken something pivotal.

Without any hesitation, the stone giant casually picked up a slab from the ruins underfoot and hurled it toward the church staff!

Whoosh—

Bang!

Seeing the slab whistling through the air, the clergy member, knowing his lack of physical strength, almost resigned himself to his fate.

But as he instinctively closed his eyes and raised his hands to protect his face,

a deep, muffled sound came from not too far away.

"..."

"I’m not dead?"

"..."

"Be careful, this thing is pretty dangerous."

The priest slowly lowered his hands and then tremblingly opened his eyes.

Before his puzzled gaze was nothing but empty air.

Then the priest quickly realized and turned his head toward where the muffled sound had come from.

There.

Was Ronald standing on the ground.

Compared to the stone giant, Ronald had a slender build.

But the slab just thrown was effortlessly caught in his hands by him, showing not even a hint of tremble.

"..."

For a moment, the ruins of the square fell silent.

Some people were shocked by the scene before them, not anticipating this turn of events.

Some had expected the priest to be saved but were still astonished by Ronald’s display of prowess.

The stone giant’s strength indeed matched its formidable size.

Thus, the thrown slab flew at a tremendous speed, and even if someone reacted, it would have been hard to prevent the tragedy before the priest got hit.

However, in the nick of time,

the flying stone’s course abruptly changed and then straightly directed toward Ronald at another spot.

This accounted for the scene unfolding before everyone’s eyes.

At this very moment, the hardest person to accept what was happening was still the guy lying in a pit.

He couldn’t imagine that the stone giant’s first attack would be so neatly blocked by Ronald, making his previously confident words stutter,

"This... this..."

"..."

"Didn’t I tell you to just lie down and watch?"

Ronald keenly sensed the man’s murmuring and then slightly bent forward to prepare for running.

"This sort of thing won’t be too troublesome to handle."

Bang—

The next second, the stone under Ronald’s feet cracked.

Not holding back his strength at all, with a bend in his knees followed by merely three alternating strides, he arrived in front of the stone giant that had just stood up.

"I’ll give this back to you now."

Still holding the slab that the stone giant had just thrown, Ronald leapt high to face the giant and fiercely smashed it down from above.

Boom!

After the sound of ripping through the air,

came the noise of stone colliding with stone, and then one side instantly shattered into pieces.

— The slab in Ronald’s hand broke.

The stone giant, empowered by the Magic Power in its core, naturally had a much harder surface than the randomly scattered slabs in the ruins. It was only logical that the slab would lose in such a collision.

However, the reality was more than that.

Although the slab shattered instantly, the force generated by Ronald’s strike was not to be underestimated. The triple enhancements of the "Divine Comedy" trilogy had granted him strength far beyond human limits!

Hence, as the slab fractured,

that tremendous force also transferred to the stone giant.

Finally, the man lying in the ruins spoke a complete sentence:

"This is impossible..."

"..."

Far off was a scene he found unbelievable.

The stone giant, which was supposed to completely overpower a human with its strength, was actually staggering and half-kneeling on the ground. Standing up, this natural giant couldn’t withstand Ronald’s might!

Watching the two figures in the distance, a thought involuntarily sprang to the man’s mind:

— Is this still a human?

On the other side, Ronald was slightly frowning while standing in front of the stone giant.

Unlike the other people in the ruins of the square, Ronald was currently engaging in combat with this stone giant.

Although the recent clash seemed to be a total victory for himself,

the reaction of his opponent also proved that relying solely on physical strength, Ronald likely couldn’t completely destroy the stone giant in front of him.

The damage caused by one or two violent attacks probably couldn’t keep up with the recovery abilities displayed by this being.

To deal with the stone giant in front,

it seemed necessary to follow the church’s prior method and directly destroy the core inside.

Ronald took two steps back to create some distance.

As the stone giant continued to rise, he once again began to recite a spell:

"Starting from the relationship between the entire earth and sky, we will begin to form our understanding..."

The next moment, the balancing power of "Astronomy Master" descended upon the stone giant.

Just as Ronald had predicted, even though the giant itself weighed several tons, under this original text of the astronomical system, such mass still wasn’t significant.

As expected, the colossal figure instantly soared into the air.

And as it began to glide along a curve in that instant, Ronald pulled through the air with his right hand.

— Star Traction.

In a brief moment, the stone giant’s body was suspended in mid-air.

Like a corpse weak and powerless, as if invisible ropes were tied to both ends of its body and then those ropes were pulled taut, suspending it in the air.

Snap!

The next second, the rocky body crumbled.

Breaking free from that brief suspension, the stone giant’s body was violently torn apart, pulling one leg down alive!

Bang—

Subsequently losing momentum, the stone giant fell from the air and crashed to the ground.

Since it lacked vocal organs, there was no sound of a roar or wail, but merely observing that pitiful condition, anyone could tell it wasn’t a pleasant experience.

"Not a bad effect..."

Witnessing the impact of his spell, Ronald immediately finalized his plan and began dismantling the stone giant.

And compared to its initial awakening that was bent on taking lives.

This stone giant, now missing a leg, immediately began to amalgamate rocks to repair its body.

"..."

Watching the scene unfold on the ruins of the square.

The man lying in the rubble pit, who had just desperately activated the stone giant, thinking he had completed his final task, opened his mouth.

Then he realized he hadn’t made any sound.

It seemed he didn’t know what to say now...
