It's true, timing is everything.

Just as El arrived at the dwarven command post, one of the four great kings of the demon race, the Rock King, the Mountain Giant Lawrence, arrived.

Neither he nor the dwarven commander saw what the creature looked like, but the shaking of the ground and the increasingly clear heavy footsteps in the distance announced the monster's arrival.

"The earth shook violently..."

The shaking was so violent; I had never experienced anything like it before.

The biggest monster I ever hunted was the earth dragon I encountered before going to the capital.

That guy, his whole body was so meaty that El was very satisfied with what he ate.

This monster was much larger than an earth dragon, and El began to wonder if its flesh was edible and tasted good.

"Hero, we should retreat. Mountain giants are completely different from ordinary monsters."

If you're going to deal with this guy next, we can go to the passage nearby and observe his combat performance first.

"All right……"

It's always better to gather more information about unfamiliar prey, especially since this dwarf friend has already put it that way.

They quickly left the command post, taking away or destroying important intelligence, and sabotaging supplies that could not be moved in a short time, especially weapons.

This practiced movement impressed El; the dwarves had retreated countless times and were now so skilled that they had mastered it.

"Tap...tap...tap..."

The slow, heavy footsteps were still approaching; the retreat here had been completed before the enemy reached their destination.

The only problem during the transfer was that the dwarves had shorter legs, so El had to wait for them a little while.

(Mysterious voice-over: Could this also be considered a kind of dwarf joke?)

The passage that the dwarf commander mentioned earlier is actually a rock face on the side of a mountain in the distance.

The dwarves dug this place out, allowing them to move supplies flexibly and use the terrain to build defensive lines.

From this vantage point, El finally saw the true face of the Mountain Giant.

"It's so big, if everyone from the capital came to eat, it would be enough for at least one meal, right?"

For once, he genuinely praised the monster before him, for the Rock King, the Mountain Giant Lawrence, was indeed ridiculously large.

Its height is estimated to be over 200 meters, and its body is excessively strong. The exact composition of its tissues is unknown, but its rock-like body and weight are also outrageous.

That's not all. As someone with an almost perfect affinity for all elements, El could clearly sense that with the appearance of this mountain giant, the surrounding earth element had become active.

The power of the elements resonates with the mountain giant Lawrence.

This guy isn't just someone who can repair himself using the power of the earth; he's an indestructible meat shield.

It is also a mage whose magical abilities are not too bad.

"This wasn't mentioned in the dwarves' intelligence. Is this guy still hiding? Is he as cautious as that ghostly giant skeleton?"

Such a thought flashed through El's mind, but he wasn't afraid of magic or anything like that.

"This is your opponent. You dwarves have certainly had a tough time."

"That's it. No matter what kind of opponent we face, we will not surrender."

Although this guy is very strong, we have not given up the fight…

Dwarves don't boast about their opponents to demonstrate their strength; they are simply steadfast in their convictions.

This time, what El witnessed was the dwarves using artillery positions to saturate and bombard the mountain giant.

The enemy did indeed have the upper hand, but they were not about to let the dwarves just abandon their positions and run away in such a humiliating manner.

No matter what, at least use your weapons to teach the enemy a lesson and let them know that they are not to be trifled with.
