"Is this guy... even human?"
Hiro and several other hunters stared wide-eyed at Gigi, who was leaping and bounding through the ruins, their faces filled with astonishment.
"That looks like... a monkey, doesn't it?"
A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, correcting everyone's opinion.
"A monkey?" The people around turned to look at the hunter who had spoken earlier, their faces showing confusion. They asked, "A monkey? What is that?"
"It was an animal that existed before the Great Cataclysm."
The hunter scratched his head and explained, "I also saw it by chance in an old book when I was searching for supplies. It looks very similar to this creature."
"What old books?"
Someone asked curiously.
After the cataclysm, humanity could only struggle to survive on the lighthouse, barely managing to maintain the continuation of their species.
The first people to climb the lighthouse are long gone.
In addition, the ban on pre-cataclysmic civilization issued by the second city lord has left most of the humans living in the Lighthouse completely unaware of the civilization before the Great Cataclysm.
Only the hunters, through their repeated ground operations and by searching for resources left behind before the Great Cataclysm, were able to gain some understanding of the ancient civilizations.
"A word spelling practice book for elementary school students..." the hunter said, "I found it in some ruins a few months ago."
"Roar~"
Everyone nodded, not having had time to delve too deeply into the matter.
A roar suddenly echoed from the ruins.
Like a booming bell or a loud drum, it abruptly interrupted everyone's conversation.
The giant Soul-Devouring Beast, which had been lying quietly on the ground, suddenly moved.
It attacked Gigi with overwhelming force.
"Oh no, get out of the way..."
Hiro and some other hunters shouted reminders.
Even though Gigi had just single-handedly eliminated a large number of small Soul-Eating Beasts.
But in front of that giant soul-devouring beast.
The short-statured Gigi looks like a plush toy.
There is absolutely no comparison to be made.
"Quick, help me..."
"Hero shouted, and he quickly raised the rifle in his arms and fired at the giant Soul Eater.
"Click-clack~"
However, at this crucial moment, the gun was out of bullets.
Hiro closed his eyes, unable to bear the sight of the bloody scene that was about to unfold.
But soon, he heard cheers from his companions.
He turned his head in surprise and slightly opened his eyes.
Just as the giant soul-devouring beast pounced, Gigi leaped high into the air with a powerful push from his feet.
With a nimble flip in mid-air, he effortlessly dodged the Soul-Devouring Beast's attack.
Immediately afterwards, Gigi adjusted her posture and quickly shifted her center of gravity.
Using the force of the fall, he gripped the hilt with both hands and thrust it downwards with a sudden burst.
"Pfft~~~"
Accompanied by a dull thud.
The blazing sword blade pierced the back of the giant Soul-Devouring Beast without any resistance, emitting a pungent, burnt smell.
"Aww..."
An unprecedented, piercing scream shook the heavens and the earth.
Many hunters covered their ears, but still could not withstand the terrifying sound waves around them.
They were violently knocked to the ground by the earthquake.
The giant soul-devouring beast began to frantically swing its body, trying to get rid of the long sword on its back.
Gigi twirled the sword in his hand, using the momentum of the Soul-Eating Beast's swinging body, and with both hands, slashed forcefully to one side.
"brush!"
In an instant, countless pus and blood gushed out.
The giant soul-devouring beast's howls grew even more mournful, echoing throughout the ruins.
Upon witnessing this scene, the little Soul-Eating Beasts that were about to be wiped out by Gigi all opened their mouths wide.
Chaoji launched bone spikes to support their leader.
Facing these incoming bone spikes, Gigi showed no fear and did not back down in the slightest.
It nimbly leaped and bounded across the giant Soul-Devouring Beast.
It skillfully dodged the incoming bone spikes.
Some bone spurs are simply unavoidable.
Gigi then swung his flaming longsword and annihilated it.
"Squeak..."
—Too weak, too weak…
