As everyone was preparing in the camp, Liebe arrived.
Stal said, "Sir, you're here."
Liebe said, "Yeah. Licht, M—we sortie in 10 seconds. Prepare yourselves."
Licht said, "Got it."
Liebe said, "Lara, go tell the Crimson Hearts we don't want a battle."
Lara said, "Of course."
Liebe said, "Eldrie, stop the giants. Also, get Goliath and prepare for Plan Z6."
Eldrie said, "Understood."
In a few minutes, Stal and Eldrie said, "Ready for sortie."
Liebe said, "Go."
Stal said, "Clay Magic—Clay Guards!"
As clay monsters were created—about 25 meters in height, not as tall as the giants, but more than enough—they charged forward.
Meanwhile, in the Sins' ship, Pride said, "Sloth, how is the Mask of Ifrit working?"
Sloth said, "Better than I hoped. With this attribute, I will show them all."
Wrath said, "It seems the time has come. Do whatever you want, but I will be the one to end Lilith Faust."
Pride said, "As long as I can get what I want, it won't be an issue. The primary power that shook the world itself—the virgin goddess of the hearth. Her power will be mine."
As Stal's clay monsters engaged the unknown giants, Stal said, "Eldrie, do it."
Eldrie said, "Ice Magic—Frozen Demise!"
As he placed his foot on the ground, the ground was frozen solid—including the giants.
Eldrie said, "Now, Goliath—come forth!"
As bubbles were seen on the other side of the island, Stal said, "Now, it's my turn."
Stal created weapons, and with them, the monsters charged. With the first hit, the head of a giant was smashed. It was proven the giants were also creations. Seeing this, Stal couldn't help but think, Who the hell created them? That they created so many monstrosities, and so far…
As the giants were being healed—the more they were destroyed, the more they regenerated—Eldrie said, "Well, time for me to step in. Ice Magic—Blizzard Fang!"
Ice spikes surrounded the giants. In an instant, the mouth-like structure closed, and all the giants were destroyed.
Meanwhile, in the north, as Black Blade made landfall, Liebe said, "You are on Black Rose sacred grounds. Leave."
Black Blade said, "I'm the Sin Hunter. My name is Black—"
Liebe said, "Couldn't care less. Leave, or else."
Black said, "Make me."
As he used his sword to send a slash, Liebe deflected it and said, "Not in the mood for words, huh? Well, then—Combo Spell: Darkest Daylight!"
As Liebe launched slashes of his own from behind, Licht said, "Ready now—Dark Day!"
As M and Licht struck from behind, Black thought, Liebe Faust… You may just be the most dangerous man in the world. For someone like me, you are a threat I can't ignore any further.
In a single slash, he took down Liebe. As Black turned around, he used his bare hands to block Licht and M's attacks.
Liebe said, "Eldrie, now!"
Eldrie said, "Goliath—arise!"
In the southern end, an ice giant emerged—more than 60 meters tall—and used a condensed ice magic strike toward Black.
Black said, "Is that how it is?"
As the area in a 3 km radius was frozen, yet it didn't even touch Black, Eldrie said, "How dare you, Black, go after the young?"
Black said, "It's none of your business."
Eldrie said, "If you are after my lord, it is my business."
As he engaged Black in a one-on-one, even though he couldn't land a hit, he was holding his own.
Liebe said, "He's actually holding his own against Black."
Licht said, "That's just pure skill."
Yet Eldrie was pushed back and was scratched on the chin.
Eldrie said, "I should have seen that coming. It wasn't wise to challenge you in a sword fight. Now—Ice Magic: Summon Holy Relic—Forsaken, Isolated Heart of Blizzard!"
As he took out a whip from his book, Black said, "Oh? You are also blessed with a Queen Piece."
Eldrie said, "The thing is, I have it, but I can't win against you without it. Now, Lord—you three get out of here and sink the ships."
Liebe said, "Okay, then."
