The knocked down giant stood up and swung the battle in his hand.
The advantage of having a large body isn’t just power. The length of their limbs determine their speed. They closed down the distance at an incredible speed, and the axe came down from above.
「There we go」
But if you dodge their attack, swing the tank in a full arc towards the vulnerable giant once more.
「Guaaah?!」
The giant, knocked away by the collision, rolls on the ground,. They seem to have the capacity to scream, they sure are tough.
It stood up again, looking wary, but I still don’t feel threatened.
A massive humanoid weapon. It’s like a powered suit that combines power, speed, and toughness.
As for the biggest drawback of being a humanoid…
I think it’s easier to imagine that the Dwarf King, who’s the operator, in human form, when he’s controlling things. The shape is round and plump, and there’s a sense of familiarity even in the act of swinging the axe.
However, since it reflects the image of the Dwarf King too accurately, even the human quirks remain.
Thanks to observing his fight with Philip, I already grasped the Dwarf King’s quirks. Their line of sight, center of gravity, foot position, and the way their hands are raisedーI can tell where the attack is going to land even before it does.
「I hear that Dwarves were good at one-on-one fights, but are they only hardcore power fights?」
「Bastard! How am I not hitting you?!!」
To settle the contest by colliding head-on and fighting and punches. That’s the impression.
So, the Dwarf King cannot catch me because I evade his attack by anticipating it. If an attack is telegraphed like that, matching with a counter is easy.
「Another one!」
「Wha?」
When the divine iron tank strikes directly, they must’ve felt the shock, and their posture collapsed.
「ーーDid you forget me? You have guts」
「Gofuu!」
An ice mass is born above the head of the Dwarf King who is full of openings. Since, Philip is here, it’s really easy.
「Excuse me Philip-sama! I’m going to exchange it to a new weapon!」
「Hmm? Very well. You don’t have to hurry」
「Be right back!」
However, the turret section was being held broke before the third impact. It seems to be hollow inside.
But, there are as many extra weapons lying around this battlefield.
「Dosei!!!」
Crash!!!
Moving away from the Dwarf King, he smashed the ice land and siezed the fresh tanks. I won’t forget to make a little hole in the bottom and let the dwarf out.
Well, I got a new weapon and now I’m going to attack again.
「Hmph, you eyesore!」
「ーAlec! Get away!」
Philip confronts the Dwarf King, who was taking distance, turned his left hand towards me, and fired forcefully.
Lina-chan screamed, but the giant’s left hand is closing in at an incredible speed.
ーーIt’s a rocket punch!!!
「Fuahahaha! Die!!」
「Wow! Amazing, never seen that before!」
Just like before, I quickly flew sideways and evaded. The left arm, made of divine iron, watched it as it thrusts in, and shattered the ice ground. The dwarf king has good taste, I never thought about rocket punch flying out.
「Huh? H-How? You avoided? You shouldn’t have seen this attack before!」
「What? You made a weapon for fighting Kiryu, you assume it has some projectile right? You have to be on guard and avoid whatever comes」
Just as there’s a grenade launcher installed in the tank, you need to think that the golden giant has some kind of weapon built in. If it were me, I would have some things like a vulcan on the head, but I think Rocket punch is good as it’s filled with romance.
Of course, there might be other weapons apart from the rocket punch so I’m not letting my guard down. When the time comes, I’ll use a tank as shield to prevent direct hits.
「ーーAnd so, the weapons are also brand new so Let’s go for the second round! Here I come, Dwarf King!」
「Y-You bastard!! I’m going to kill you!!!」
The wire style rocket punch rewound and plunged again towards the gold giant.
Now this is getting fun! Dwarf King, show me more of this male romance you made!!
□
「ーーHahahaha! This is fun! Dwarf King! Amazing!! Ahahahaha!」
A boy teases the golden giant controlled by the Dwarf King while laughing heartily. The black hair illuminated by the sunlight is proof that he’s a Zatsuryu. The proof that he’s inferior to a Kiryu. And yet, he overwhelms the humanoid weapon made from divine iron, which the other knights couldn’t even touch.
The boy effortlessly swung the tank around like a stick, he was far more active than the Grand Duke Philip, who was engaged in equally contested struggle using magic.
「Ha, hahaah, what the hell? Is this comedy or a tragedy? What am I being shown here?」
Adon, who had been nearly broken by the overwhelming gap between himself and the man he considered his rival, simply felt the sense of absurdity at the sight before him.
He looked up and found a blue and clear sky.
Then there’s the sight of his beloved daughter looking at Adon.
「That’s Alec! That’s amazing, papa!」
「Yeah. You’re right. He’s something else」
Drawn by his daughter’s smile, a smile also appeared on Adon’s face.
「But if things stay like this, it would never end. The sturdiness and persistence of the dwarves are truly unbearable」
The dwarf king continues to rampage without showing any signs of fatigue, despite being blown away, rolled, and crushed over and over.
Alec, confronting that, wields a super-heavy weapon called a tank, he’s still full of energyーin fact, he seems to be getting more energeticーBut a stamina contest with a dwarf must be quite a burden.
「Mira. Listen to what I have to say from now on. You seeー」
「ーYeah, got it papa! I’m off!」
Mira runs across the sky.
To put an end on a battle that stagnates, to be the final push.

「Alec-kun!」
While hitting the Dwarf King, I hear Mira-chan’s voice from afar.
「Over here! Bring the giant over here!」
Mira-chan cheerfully waved her hands in front of the large pit where the giant emerged, in the middle of the slope of the great mine.
「Take him all the way to the bottom of the hole! Alec-kun!!」
