Chapter 406: Eighty-Ninth Floor, A Nation for Giants (4)
[Primary objective: avoid the giants’ gaze and meet the Giant Resistance. Time remaining: 15 hours 7 minutes.]
Thud—
The small giant, who had slammed their head against the wall, hit the ground and bashed their head once more on the way down. A thick cloud of dust billowed up over them.
Though I hadn’t intended to, I instinctively summoned my mana to shield myself from the dust. It was a reflex born of experience.
The unexpected turn of events had left behind a stillness that felt almost surreal, causing silence to hang heavy in the underground tunnel.
Amid my tempered panic, I was so dumbfounded that I unconsciously swallowed hard.
I couldn’t help but rhetorically ask, “That wasn’t my fault, was it?”
Although I was speaking to myself, my gaze naturally drifted toward Doppy.
After a brief silence, he responded, “Uh, I don’t know!”
He was just as bewildered by the situation. With disbelief etched across our faces, we stared down at the small giant.
A hint of regret crept in.
Should I have approached them more cautiously?
