Its a giant! exclaimed the guard stationed at the main entrance of the university.

In his role as a guard at the Magic Institute, he possessed a substantial amount of mana, though not quite reaching the universitys average standard. However, in this moment, he either lacked the experience or was too overwhelmed to react swiftly, slowly retreating.

Undoubtedly, it was a natural reaction to be taken aback by the sudden appearance of a giant.

Boom!

A giant, standing between 15 to 20 meters in height, emerged from the gray smoke.

While its movements were relatively sluggish, its colossal size more than compensated for it.

With just two steps, the giant not only breached the intricate fence surrounding Rokuri University but also tragically crushed the retreating guard beneath its massive foot.

Desperately, the guard attempted to conjure a magical shield, but the overwhelming mass crushed both him and the shield, akin to squashing a tomato.

This is bad. muttered Oliver to himself as he observed the unfolding spectacle through his telescope.

Meanwhile, the giant continued its relentless advance toward the university.

Just when it seemed the intruders would gain entry unopposed, nearby wizards sprang into action, gathering and merging their mana, swiftly crafting a spell.

Ping

Strands of mana, infused with myriad intentions, converged in front of the giants face and gleamed with a brilliant blue magical radiance.

In the fleeting moment, Oliver could discern the intricacy of the spell.Upstodatee from

Before long, the high-density magical threads unfurled like a spiders web, embroidering an intricate magical circle in the air, from which a formidable magical beam struck the giants visage.

Bang!!

It was a pure magical assault, straightforward in concept yet awe-inspiring in speed and potency.

All of this occurred in the span of a mere 1 or 2 seconds.

Equally astonishing, however, was the giants resilience.

Considering the potency of the magic employed, it should have equated to military-grade bombardment, yet the giant, though seared and wounded, retained the form of its face and endured the onslaught.

Even in the absence of proper defenses, it withstood the direct hit, a testament to its formidable physical prowess, mirroring its colossal stature.

As if to demonstrate its might, the giant raised its arms, channeling life force into them, ready to strike the ground.

In that crucial moment, the wizards of Rokuri University, living up to their reputation, once again gathered their magic and unleashed a second salvo, decapitating the giant.

The attack bore similarities to the first, but they concentrated the power by narrowing the strike zone, maximizing its destructive force. The giants head was torn asunder, and its body crumpled to the earth.

The colossal form of the fallen giant generated a deafening cacophony and a billowing cloud of dust, gradually disintegrating like mud.

Such a phenomenon was a characteristic unique to the minions of the Human-meat Chef.

As soon as the giant was vanquished, sporadic cheers erupted throughout the university.

Yet, it was too early to relax, for chaos still reigned outside.

Explosions reverberated throughout the city, and unfamiliar creatures embarked on a rampage.

The university appeared to be aware of this impending threat, as numerous individuals, seemingly following directives, efficiently mobilized, erecting substantial defensive barriers across the campus.

Utilizing the universitys structures as conduits, a network of blue magical energy coalesced, enveloping various edifices in a protective dome-like shield.

Observing this process, Oliver couldnt help but pose a question.

Are giants really real?

At least not here.

***

Drrring. Drrring. Drrring.

As Oliver and Yareli entered the main university building where Kevin and Terence awaited, a multitude of communication devices greeted them with incessant ringing.

This constituted the central information hub of the university, established with royal sponsorship. Numerous personnel, employed by the institution, diligently answered the devices and transcribed the incoming information using typewriters.

Given the chaos unfolding in the city beyond the windows, the nature of the calls was not difficult to surmise.

Oh, youre here.

Terence, occupied in the bustling corridor, warmly welcomed Oliver and Yareli.

If the goal was simply to disrupt Rokuri University, which had been applying pressure, maintaining a state of tension would have sufficed. The motivations driving these actions were difficult to fathom.

Crushing Rokuri University with brute force alone wasnt appropriate, and the attacks werent exclusively targeted at this location. It appeared more like a campaign to sow chaos without a clear endgame.

Because of that, the military and local police waiting on the outskirts of the city have been continuously requesting support, making it difficult to take any hasty action.

A riot like this is unprecedented, but is it really that bad? Isnt there some kind of city defense system?

City defense system.

A safeguard mechanism designed to uphold order in a world where superhumans capable of rivalling military might were abundant.

It entailed the installation of magical circles in key areas of the city, capable of launching precision bombardment spells in the event of emergenciessomething Oliver had once encountered in his readings at the Magic Tower library.

Although it was rarely used due to infrequent occurrences of such magnitude, it was considered a potent deterrent.

Its probably been dismantled. Yareli commented, as if a realization had dawned upon her.

As far as I know, it was used to suppress the demonstrators during the civic revolution, causing significant damage, and was dismantled after the revolution succeeded.

Thats insane. Terence exclaimed in disbelief, a sentiment shared by many, particularly given his background as a War Wizard.

Thats really foolish. To neuter the citys defense system for such a reason. Now I understand why Human-meat Chef targeted this place.

In that moment, Oliver found himself somewhat in agreement with Terences statement.

It didnt appear to be a mere coincidence. While it might have been Olivers conjecture, there seemed to be more to the situation than met the eye.

As they were about to delve deeper into this topic, the sound of a communication device interrupted them.

The ringing wasnt identical to the previous signals, but it held a familiar and distinctive tone. It emanated from the personal communication device provided by Lucian.

This device was specifically intended to receive organic updates concerning Human-meat Chef.

Terence, responsible for managing communications, promptly answered the call. The purpose of the call was somewhat expected.

With such turmoil engulfing the heart of the city, Milieu would no longer be a safe haven; in fact, it might become even more perilous.

While this might not be widely known, the Mura family had been cooperating and steadily supplying valuable information, significantly contributing to the efforts against Human-meat Chef.

But now, does it even matter?

Oliver mused as he gazed out of the window, observing the fires erupting all around.

As if to taunt the damage inflicted by Rokuri University and Oliver himself, Human-meat Chef was incinerating his own territory.

What could be driving such actions?

Nevertheless, Olivers speculation had proven accurate.

Lucian had reached out to them seeking assistance.

However, there were two unexpected elements to this request.

Firstly, they were not just facing an onslaught of rioters, giants, werewolves, or harpies, but a horrifying, inexplicable horde of monsters engaged in a coordinated attack. Secondly, the plea wasnt solely for their own rescue.

They were also beseeching aid to rescue Murphy and Jane.

Mr. Murphy and Miss Jane?

Terence affirmed and reiterated the response.

Yes. They were called to their castle for protection when the city atmosphere became ominous, but now the situation has worsened and theyre being chased by the monsters together.

It was an unforeseen twist of events, but upon reflection, it made sense.

Both Murphy and Jane had come to this city for business, and they were in association with Lucian.

Just as Oliver contemplated their course of action, Yareli stepped forward.

Go and see them, Zenon.
