The Human Giant



"Just as humans don't allow livestock to get too old to make sure that doesn't lose their flavor. Demons would not want to waste any human spiritual energy because of the erosion of death spiritual energy." 

"I should ask a few questions from the townspeople before I jump to conclusions. Hopefully, I can be proven wrong in my hypothesis." Yoze sighed as he tried not to think about the worst possibility without any evidence.

After hearing that the Slug demon was absorbing the faith energy humans produced from the greeter in the Mission Room, Yoze had assumed that was wrong. From his own experience, demons didn't require humans to worship them to grow stronger. They only sought to devour their large quantity of spiritual energy.

There was no other reason. Human beings simply had, on average, a larger amount of spiritual energy compared to other animals, such as ants, pigs, elephants, and worms. 

Since humans had firm control of the land and could be found nearly everywhere, they were the favorite target for demons. So when he heard that a demon was trying to become the god of a village, he had some doubts.

After meeting the Slug demon, he was able to confirm that there was nothing special about the Slug demon from the other demons he had met in the past. The Slug demon was older and more powerful but didn't seem to have any talents similar to the Flower Lord.

"It is a blessing that the Slug demon doesn't have the Flower Lord's talent of Spiritual Gathering and Spiritual Type Influence. If not, no one in the Town would have been safe, and things would have gotten a lot more messy." 

"It's been quite a while since I was in New Swamp Town. I believe it's been about two weeks, so I wonder how much it has grown since then."

"The Flower Lord was only six months old when I last checked, so with the amount of time that has passed, it should have reached seven months old. Not only should it be stronger, but I wonder if it has gotten more talents."

As Yoze was walking around, he suddenly remembered that inside New Swamp Town lived the Flower Lord, who, at the time, gave him an intense feeling of danger due to its ability to influence its targets. If it wasn't because he had been able to firm up his will and resist the Flower Lord's influence, he didn't know what would have happened.

After consuming the Slug demon and gaining more control of his spiritual energies, he was excited to test who had grown more in this short period. Was it himself whose talents were growing at a steady pace, or was it the Flower Lord?

"Regardless of which one is the case, I'm going to need to devour the Flower Lord's spiritual energy. It might not have made any attacks against me yet. Still, the fact that it is hiding New Swamp Town and secretly changing its followers' spiritual energy means that it is up to no good." Yoze's eyes shimmered with colorful sparkles as he imagined how much his spiritual energy would grow after devouring the Flower Lord.I think you should take a look at

Even after meeting the Slug demon, the Flower Lord was still the creature with the most spiritual energy he had seen. And it was still by quite a large amount as well.

Suddenly as he was walking around and observing Justice Town, he noticed a middle-aged man with slick black hair and a head tightly wrapped in bandages slowly walking towards him with elegance, unlike the ordinary townspeople of Justice Town, who seemed to be filled with vibrancy and life.

The middle-aged man's aura was heavy, and he seemed to carry a heavy burden that many people would have crumbled under. What made Yoze feel strange was that he felt that the middle-aged man gave him a sense of familiarity as if he had met him before, but he couldn't quite place his finger on it.

That middle-aged man was Lucien Mango, Justice Town's mayor and the one who was responsible for the rapid growth of the Town. As the sole individual who had helped Justice Town grow from a small village to what it currently is, he should have been proud of his achievements, but instead, he was filled with guilt and worry.

"My luck is so bad. First, the Slug demon had disappeared and caused utter chaos before it left, and now my teacher has sent his eldest student to check in on my progress." 

"What am I supposed to say? I had already lied to my teacher about returning to Town to teach a student, so I can't possibly say I no longer have a student and made no progress."

"If I do, my life and Justice Town will all cease to exist tomorrow morning. God, what has my luck become." Lucien sighed deeply as he gently touched his head.

After being hit in the head by his chandelier, yesterday he had no memory of what had happened the entire day, so he had no clue why he received reports that the entire mountain had experienced an earthquake. When he decided to visit Gospel Peak to check in on the Slug demon, his jaw dropped.

Gospel Peak had disappeared and was replaced by a deep crater filled with boiling magma. There was no telling how far deep the pool of magma had gone, so it was possible that overnight that the entire mountain had transformed into a volcano.

With no way to contact the Slug demon who had mysteriously disappeared, he could only return to Justice Town and give a half-baked excuse to the Townspeople. And that was only what had happened when he had woken up; now that a few days had passed, he had to deal with another life-and-death problem.

When Lucien remembered the two people waiting for him in the town hall, his head began to throb with pain. He could only make things up as he goes and pretend that he was sending a message for his student to return to Justice Town, which would buy him a few days to find a fake student.
