Chapter 204.1. Fighting Against Giants!

The ground beneath Frost Giants’ feet cracked and crumbled, causing their bodies to sink.
“W-why?! How can they do such damage with just that level of attack?!”
Surtr, who kept the hologram communication connected for too long, distorted her face and screamed.
Miu hovered in the air, her gray hair flowing, as she surveyed her surroundings.
There were three Frost Giants in total. 
Aside from Surtr’s, the others were small fry, but they could be troublesome if they got in the way.
Taking a deep breath, Miu showed a sharp, bird-of-prey-like gaze and raised her fluffy hammer.
“Here we go!”
With a cute voice, she descended rapidly and slammed her hammer into the ground.
[Direct Hammer]
The ground beneath her cracked like a spider’s web. 
The vibrating sound echoed in the surroundings, and a gust of wind erupted from the ground, blowing Frost Giant’s massive body away like popcorn.
“Angya!”
Surtr, who was on the Frost Giant, spun around and flew the furthest, crashing into the forest and causing a cloud of dust.
The other Frost Giants were blown away relatively close by and were rolling on the ground.
“I’ll take care of Surtrt’s Frost Giant! So, everyone, take care of the remaining Frost Giants! Yamiyo-chan and Tamamo-chan, I’ll leave it to you!! Se-chan, provide healing support!”
“Mii-sama, but those giants are dangerous. We’ll fight alongside you!”
“Don’t worry! I’ll use my special hoky magic! Trust me. Now, leave it to me and defeat the other enemies over there!”
Holy magic holds an absolute advantage against giants. Reluctantly, everyone agreed.
“Well, it’s not related to holy magic, right? It’s not related, right?”
Sena raised her hand and made a sharp retort, but it was no problem.
“I’ll keep attacking while constantly using recovery magic! I can fight in battle while healing myself!”
Raising the Poyopoyo Hammer, she proudly puffed out her lightly armored chest and displayed a fleeting smile.
It’s a perfect theory!
“Ah… I see… You’ve only healed your upper body…”
Sena somehow looked distant.
“But it still hurts, right? Are you okay, Em-chan?”
Worriedly, Tamamo drooped her fluffy fox tail and frowned, so I stroked her head to reassure her.
“I wear a high-mobility magic armor, and I’ll try to avoid getting hit as much as possible. Don’t worry!”
“Muu… In that case, I’ll go ahead and defeat those two, so please wait here.”
Grumbling with dissatisfaction, Yamiyo also nodded.
The others, for some reason, looked distant and didn’t voice any objections. 
Though Kongou-neesan and others had troubled expressions, they seemed to understand that it would be disadvantageous to face the giants, so they didn’t interfere.
They won’t say they aren’t fulfilling their role as Mii-chan’s guards. 
The enemy is just too strong, and this battle is what Mii-chan wants.
“Well then, I’m off! Those two seem quite strong, so be careful!”
Bending her legs and gathering strength, she soared high into the sky.
Following Mii-chan’s will, Wartan released mana particles from its thrusters.
A strong wind blew against her face, causing her hair to flutter. 
Changing her trajectory at a right angle in mid-air, Mii-chan pursued Surtr’s Frost Giant.
“Don’t you dare!”
Surtr’s angry expression was visible through the hologram as she shouted. 
The forest exploded, sending trees flying, and a Frost Giant emerged from within. 
It didn’t seem to have suffered much damage. That art is primarily meant to disrupt the enemy’s formation, so it’s normal. 
Besides, Frost Giants had a lot of HP.
Clad in super-chilled cold air, Surtr’s Frost Giant swung its fist at Mii-chan.
“You won’t be healing anything! I’ll flatten you!”
[Icicle Knuckle]
“How about this?”
Switching her consciousness from Mii-chan Mode to Miu Mode, she invoked the power of her spiritual familiar and confidently returned a mocking smile.
A fist the size of a boulder broke through the wind barrier and approached her. 
If it hit Miu, an ordinary person would undoubtedly be flattened.
[Ground Shrink]
Using art that enhances speed while blowing the thrusters, she swiftly dodged the approaching fist by tilting her body and slid sideways without leaving a trace.
“You won’t escape!”
Even though Miu evaded her attack, Surtr unleashed another punch with an expression of anger. 
She threw a hook from the left, followed by a downward swing from the right, and finished with a tackle.
The ferocity of her attacks would be enough to crush a small mountain into pieces.
“You have quite a sense of balance in the air. Well done.”
However, Miu maintained a calm gaze. 
She blew the thrusters on her shoulders, evaded diagonally downward, skillfully dodging the hook, and swayed to avoid the downward swing using the power of her leg thrusters.
“Here’s my counterattack!”
Miu demonstrated the true essence of [Soul Awakening]. 
Gripping her hammer tightly, she rotated her body and infused it with magical power.
[Soul Awakening]
[Rocket Buster]
[Rocket Buster]
-Linked!-
[Twin Rocket Buster]
When Miu combined certain art in consecutive actions, those formed a linked attack.
“Experience my linked attack!”
The hammer swung with all her strength and flew toward the enemy at high speed like a rocket.
Due to becoming a [Twin Rocket Buster], two exhaust plumes were left as traces, significantly increasing its power.
“Gooo~!”
Compared to me, the approaching Frost Giant was like an ant. 
There was a considerable difference in size, but when the hammer made contact with Surtr’s Frost Giant, the result was completely unexpected for Surtr.
“Uwaaah?”
Although Miu’s attack is small, it’s like getting poked with a toothpick. 
The impact made Frost Giant’s shoulder caved in, its armor shattered, and its body gets blown away.
It tumbled into the forest, creating a cloud of dust as it flew through the air as if it had collided with a truck.
“Huh? Wh-why am I being overpowered?”
“In the end, Frost Giants that can’t use martial art are no match for humans.”
Blowing the thrusters and cutting through the wind, I approached the Frost Giant and explained it to Surtr.
