Chapter 136 - Terrain Manipulation

 

"Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

 

 

"Oi, this guy's running form is too good for such a huge body."

 

 

　The plan was to seal off the bottleneck and deal a devastating blow to the pursuing army that was chasing us as we fled.

 

 

　It worked to some extent since we managed to kill the knights of Uruk, sadly however the giant was still chasing us.

 

 

　The form in which he runs with his left and right hands moving in a normal motion seems to be a kind of art form, like the running of a track and field athlete. 

 

 

　While being shown such an unexpected performance by the giant, I was riding Valkyrie with my older brother as we continued to run away.

 

 

"Hey, Ars. He's got faster legs than Valkyrie. Please, Valkyrie. Hang in there."

 

 

　The giant's speed turned out to be even faster than Valkyrie's, who is now desperately trying to escape. He might be even faster now that he doesn't have to run alongside the Uruk knights.

 

 

　What's with the specs of this guy ? I wonder if there are many such monsters beyond the Great Snow Mountains. To be honest, if I knew there were more of them out there, I'd probably give up before I fought.

 

 

".... Nii-san. Here we are. Stay close behind me."

 

 

"I don't need you to tell me that."

 

 

At first when I heard Gran's story, I couldn't exactly gauge how strong the giant was, and so I was also thinking about what would happen if the bottleneck trap didn't work.

 

 

　What should I do if I wasn't able to kill the giant there?

 

 

　My answer was to use another trap.

 

 

　After escaping through the bottleneck and being chased by the Titan, another trap was set.

 

 

　When I reached a certain point, I reinserted Valkyrie's reins and guided her to run along the path I had memorized.

 

 

　Our path started to curve slightly to the right, whereas before we had been running away in a straight line.

 

 

　However, the giant that was chasing us from behind was different.

 

 

　Seeing us turn to the right, he tried to close the distance.

 

 

　Instead of turning to follow me, it slightly altered its route in an attempt to run the shortest distance to get ahead of us as we turned.

 

 

　But that was a mistake.

 

 

　Doppaaaaan.

 

 

　I suddenly heard such a sound, and then the figure of the Titan that had been chasing us disappeared.

 

 

　The moment I heard that sound, I turned my gaze backward on the back of the sprinting Valkyrie.

　Although it was dark and I couldn't clearly see what was going on around me, I still couldn't see the giant's large body anywhere.

 

 

"'The Titan has been trapped. We'll build a wall."

 

 

　When I confirmed that the Titan had definitely disappeared, I immediately shouted out.

 

 

　My brother-in-law and the other cavalrymen who had fled with me scattered to form a wall around the area.

 

 

　I hear a bang and a clang.

 

 

　It's the sound that the giant was making as we hastily built a wall around him.

 

 

　The true nature of the sound is that of the giant struggling in the water.

 

 

　Yes, he is in the water.

 

 

　The second trap was a pit.

 

 

　The pitfall is a trap that I have used many times with the giant boars, and it is a reliable method that can kill monsters larger than humans.

 

 

　However, I felt that it was still unknown whether I could kill a giant with a 5-meter tall body just by dropping him into a pit.

 

 

　Therefore, we added the element of water attack to the pit by making use of a pond and covering its surface so that it’s not possible to spot

 

 

　Of course, it would be impossible to cover the  surface of the water with soil.

 

 

　But what if it was pumice stone instead of ordinary soil? (E/n:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumice , basically a type of stone that is light and filled with holes, you might find it in your household being used for scrubbing )

 

 

　I used magic to create a pumice stone that floated on the water and covered the surface of the water with it.

 

 

　This strategy was possible because today’s moon was not as bright as it would’ve been if it was a full moon. If it was daylight, it would have been a trap that would have been noticed at a glance.

 

 

　But since it was the middle of the night, the giant running at full speed through the pumice stone pond stepped into it without even suspecting that it wasn’t a solid ground.

 

 

　He didn't even know that we were running in a crooked line to avoid falling into the water.

 

 

"It seems that even giants can't climb up the wall from the water."

 

 

　The moment the giant fell into the pond, we surrounded the pond with a wall.

 

 

The pond itself is quite deep and almost like a swamp, so it is difficult to move around once you fall in it.

 

 

　No matter how much he struggled in the water, the giant would not be able to crawl up.

 

 

　At first, there was a loud splashing sound, but gradually the sound became less and less, and finally, it disappeared altogether.

 

 

　But there was always a chance that the giant might be up to something.

 

 

　I kept checking the walls surrounding the pond to see if the giant, a warrior of Atmos, would show himself until sunrise when the soldiers led by Leon who had moved from the bottleneck would join us.
