The Human Giant



"After realizing that you were gone, he made me stay in your room until you came back home while they went shopping. Do you know how boring it is to hang out with a goat all day?" Jewel took a sip of her wine as she complained to Yoze.

"Not only that, you even grew again. What about that custom-ordered full suit of armor that you ordered? We are going to have to cancel and place another order." Jewel said before drinking another sip of wine.

"You even left without telling me anything. How am I going to make a profit if you keep leaving your human guide at home while you go on adventures." Jewel went in to take another sip of wine before realizing that her cup was empty.

"I didn't go anywhere interesting this time. I just went to a forest to break through to the Blood Master realm."

"As for leaving you behind, how does 20 silver coins sound?" Seeing that Jewel was drunk, Yoze made an empty promise to give her compensation.

Just like he expected the moment she heard about getting paid her face lifted into a smile. She even pulled out her money pouch and began counting her money.

"20 silver coins will bring me one step closer to having some peace of mind. You should know how stressful it is to work for a demon so the least I can do is exploit you as much as I can for humanity." Jewel said as she opened her money pouch signaling him to put the coins inside.

"You wouldn't need to be so stressed if you admitted the fact that I'm not a demon." Yoze relented seeing that Jewel was prepared and handed her 20 silver.

"I would like to believe you but how do you explain everything that we have been through? That Leopard demon seemed convinced that you were a demon." Jewel replied quickly.

Having been around Yoze for so long they had this same conversation so many times that both of them could discuss this without thinking. Knowing that this conversation wouldn't do anything or change their relationship Yoze just changed the subject.

"As you can see I don't have any clothes that can fit me, do you have any recommendations?" 

"The MMF store should have a thing for you. It's just two blocks to our right. It's the shop that has a big snake at the front." Jewel waved her hand as she gave Yoze directions not planning on leaving the inn.

"Thanks,"

Not expecting Jewel to think of something so quick, Yoze forgot to ask her what kind of clothing this store had. It was only when he walked out of the shop wearing the new clothes that he felt that he had been ripped off.

The clothes that Yoze was wearing could have been considered more a costume fit for spooky holidays like Halloween than everyday clothing.

He was wearing what resembled a bloody hospital gown that had gold hoops at the edges of the fabric. The pants that he wore were also bloody and wrinkly giving others an uncomfortable feeling. He even had to wear a mask that covered his mouth because the people that owned the shop insisted.

They said that the clothes he was wearing were for last year's 7 Ghouls and 7 Spirits festival. The costume he was wearing was for the Sickness Ghoul and the mask was essential to making him look exactly like the Sickness Ghoul.

Even though he was wearing a costume in broad daylight and frightened the kids he passed by, he didn't mind too much since he at least was covered. 

"Now that I have clothes, let's go break through to the next level of Big Golem." 

With clothes on his back, Yoze walked to his courtyard in the Martial Courtyard ready to begin his training. Just as he was about to get started he remembered what happened last night when all his clothes were destroyed.

"I'll just train with fewer clothes this time, just in case." 

After stripping off the bloody gown and mask, Yoze began by putting pressure on his body. He activated the full force of Mindless Blood Legs and Twin Blood Fists. 

An intense pressure covered his entire body causing more of Big Golem's heavy inner vigor to be produced. The addition of this new inner vigor in his body caused an instant reaction of chaos. 

[Big Golem (Level 6: 240%)]

Noticing how his progress had jumped up by 40 percent at once, Yoze knew that he was taking things in the right direction. He even had an instinct of where this chaotic inner vigor needed to go.

Starting from his flesh to his bones, it was now time for his heavy inner vigor needed to enter his organs. His heart, guts, eyes, and brain would become much heavier than their ordinary counterparts.

With the chaotic and random spread of his inner vigor, he found that none of the heavy inner strands became stuck inside his organs. Even after 10 minutes of waiting, not a single strand of heavy inner vigor went inside his organs.

There were several times during the period when a strand almost fused with his organs but at the last minute, each strand quickly left afterward. Feeling frustrated, Yoze poured all of his attention and focus on one of these opportunities.

At first, it seemed like it was going to be another failure but at the last moment, it was absorbed into his heart. That single moment triggered a chain reaction of all his heavy inner vigor where they all entered all of his organs.

Just like when he reached level 5 where he needed to saturate his bones before he could move forward. Yoze saw that he needed to saturate his organ before he could move on to the next stage.

[Big Golem (Level 7: 1%)]

Luckily, he had produced enough heavy inner vigor already so his organs were quickly saturated allowing him to reach Big Golem level 7.
