I’m sick of this! What did I do to deserve this, huh?!

How come it’s me who has to go up against such monsterous beasts!

It’s not fair! I've done nothing to deserve this!

Yikes!! ...Oh, it’s just you, Hans.

Tsk... I’ve had nothing but trouble ever since I bumped into you.

Complaining as usual, I see? Really, Lugina, it’s not very becoming of a man of your stature.

Shut it, you! What’s the big idea anyway, always sneaking up on me like that!

You’re one of the reasons I got dragged into this nonsense in the first place!

Our current situation is far from ideal, I grant you that.

But calling people names and complaining about things won’t change the situation.

You think I don’t know that already?!

I've got a newsflash for ya, I’m not exactly trawling through these filthy tunnels for fun, okay!

Hehe... No, I can see that.

Still, you appear to know what needs to be done.

Right. And that’s what I’m complaining about.

Alright! Let’s just get through this tunnel already and hurry to the Giant’s Ruins.

My, someone appears to be in a rush... You’d better get a move on, too.

If we don’t hurry, the great gods will awaken and lay waste to this entire continent.

There’s no time to be explaining things to that dimwit!

I’ll lead the way.

You finish off any stragglers that manage to slip past me!

Heh... Spoken like a true warrior, Lugina.

But you’re mistaken about one thing.

Hans has the right to know about the danger of our predicament.

You’ve seen Hans fight, have you not?

We should be making use of all the military prowess at our fingertips.

Hmph! Suit yourself. But I'm leaving all of the explaining to you!

I’ve had it up to here with babysitting this overgrown toddler.

It looks like he decided to go by himself, after all.

Tsk... He’ll never make any friends with that sour attitude of his.

Well, I guess it’s finally just the two of us!

So you're the one the Elders speak of, friend of Karl,

the leader of the almight 24th Demon Slayers, Rebel Lance.

I have heard great stories about you, Hans.

There’s no need to look so alarmed.

Relax. I'm on your side you know.

Judging by your expression, I seem to have some way to go before gaining your trust.

Now where was I? Ah yes, the giants.

It’s actually not that complicated.

Long ago, a race of giants used to live here in Cordelica.

However, their entire race was wiped out by forces beyond our comprehension.

All, that is, except for one of them: the one now known as the Giant God.

Succumbing to rage and despair on behalf of his fallen comrades,

the giant sealed himself away in this land.

This is the legend as it is inscribed on the Tower of Light. Who wrote it, we do not know.

Lugina must have come across the same inscription.

After reading it, he must have reached the same conclusion as me...

Namely, that the Giant God will soon emerge, fuming with rage, from his slumber.

Heh... It seems I’ve got your full attention, at last.

Relax. Judging by the size of the tremors,

the Giant God has yet to fully awaken.

According to the ruins’ inscription, when the giant finally awakes,

this entire island will be swallowed up in an instant.

Come. We must depart at once.

The ruins where the Giant God lies should be just through this tunnel.
