"Bang—!"
Deep in the mountains of Okutama, a phone booth was struck head-on by a huge fist. It was as though a cannonball had slammed into it, pulverizing the entire booth while the fist crashed heavily into the ground, shattering the earth and sending dust and gravel flying.
The ground suddenly trembled, and everything within several meters of the phone booth cracked apart inch by inch, spreading out like a spiderweb.
The culprit behind all this was a rock giant.
A giant composed entirely of brown rock from head to toe.
The giant stood over five meters tall. At first glance, it looked much like a golem, except it was even larger and stronger than the High-Level Familiar golems the student knights of Hagun Academy fought. Yet it was completely different from the golems Luo Zhen summoned.
The golems summoned by Luo Zhen were made not only of rock, but also metal, wood, and soil. They were undoubtedly much sturdier and more refined than this rock giant. Unlike them, the rock giant was covered entirely in exposed stone and looked extremely crude.

Under such circumstances, if he were struck without taking any defensive measures, Luo Zhen's mortal body would also have died on the
