Rocky and Rose were still in shock. This giant could speak, but was it a human or a Skullbreaker? Or perhaps neither?

"Who... are you?" The giant asked again, with more excitement in its tone this time, and the oppressive aura intensified.
96Please respect copyright.PENANACuqgDh3pxy
Since the giant identified itself as human, Rose's earlier conjecture about it being a Skullbreaker was wrong. And knowing about Homeland, Huntector, and Kingside, it didn't seem like a newcomer from a distant land.

So, who exactly was this giant?
96Please respect copyright.PENANAydGr4Ple0f
"I am Rose, and this is Rocky. We're here to investigate on behalf of Homeland. May I ask where you come from? Are you human?" Rose asked cautiously.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAFNuHu3PmM2
"Homeland... human... Yeah, of course, I'm human... of course, I'm human! Since you're representing Homeland... are you Kingside?" The giant's tone became more agitated as he mentioned Kingside, and the oppressive feeling grew stronger.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAekaPXYXwI2
Since the giant referred to himself as human, Rose's earlier assumption about it being a modified Skullbreaker was incorrect. Furthermore, knowing about Homeland, Huntector, and Kingside, it seemed unlikely that this giant was a newcomer from a distant land.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA9d2WKkBn3n
So, who was he?
96Please respect copyright.PENANALSZSH1HXGn
"Are you... Kingside?" The giant shouted again, more agitated than before.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAV9V6eRGFaP
Rocky noticed the increased hostility when the giant mentioned Kingside, and his expression turned serious. He drew the sword at his waist.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXWH8airwB5
"I am Rocky, a member of Homeland Kingside," Rocky declared.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA161OCbcCm0
"Kingside... dogs serving the king!" As expected, the giant attacked, driven by the hostility Rocky had anticipated. Fortunately, they were prepared. Rocky summoned his "Ethereal Wall" just in time to block the giant's attack. The giant used the iron chains from its shackles as a weapon and struck at Rocky, but he managed to dodge the attack with his shield. The ground was left with a deep gouge from the force; the giant possessed extraordinary strength.

"Hold on! What's your issue with the royal family?" Rocky asked as he parried the giant's assault. Rose had moved behind the giant, as a two-against-one situation was ideal for flanking the target.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAw4e34GIp3c
"Since we're the only humans left in this land, if possible, I'd prefer not to see us kill each other," Rose interjected.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAJaW5nbTzkh
The giant turned to face Rose. "Back then... back then, why didn't you... say these words to me?" Then, he swung his chained hand towards Rose.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXgTgNhnTeR
She didn't back down but instead leaped forward into the giant's embrace, and her twin swords, infused with blue Weapower, flew from her hands toward the giant. These were not ordinary sword strikes; they were solidified Weapower disconnected from her body and launched at the target.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAKJkfIPi39D
However, the giant was surprisingly agile. With his other hand, he dispersed the Weapower and counterattacked Rose. She managed to block the attack with her sword but was still thrown to the ground, landing next to Rocky.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAVWdfKbUdc4
"Please, listen to our explanation... I am also a member of Kingside, Rose."
96Please respect copyright.PENANADKZQZC0uZn
The giant turned to see Rocky holding his shield in front of him, with two panting Roses standing behind him.
96Please respect copyright.PENANApdQjLmpfh3
"Explanation... my foot! I'll kill both of you and then level Grandecy!" The giant's hostility towards Kingside, as Rocky had anticipated, flared up again.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAXH2pWhw2is
Seeing the situation, Rocky threw his "Ethereal Wall" once more, and the giant caught it barehanded. Rocky seized this opportunity and lunged at the giant's arm, attempting to cut it with his sword. However, he only managed to make a shallow cut on the giant's tough skin.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAjjIDw2Kgg0
Although Rocky's sword lacked Weapower, the fact that it could wound the giant's skin proved the creature's immense durability.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAt9ZvOVVOhM
The giant swung his fist at Rocky, who had to evade using his shield. A deep groove was carved into the ground where the iron chain struck.
96Please respect copyright.PENANA8cfBJ725LP
"Wait! Why do you have a grudge against the royal family?" Rocky asked, taking advantage of the situation.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAvpJIMmvCdR
The giant, with his increased hostility towards Kingside, countered Rocky's question by swinging his chained hand again. But Rocky evaded it once more. Meanwhile, Rose had moved behind the giant again, preparing to attack from a different angle.
96Please respect copyright.PENANAlPVqLRUV4d
"Since we're the only humans left in this land, I'd prefer not to see us kill each other." Rose tried to reason with the giant.
