Chapter 22 – Yo, warrior! Help!!
Chapter 22
“…Is that so?”
The saintess said she believed in me.
…I always make fun of him for being a crap, but at times like this, he cheers me up.
“Then I will go. You must protect Chloe too, hero-nim♡”
“Yes.”
The saintess moved quickly. She disappears faster than any of her warriors.
“…That’s great.”
I don’t know when I’ll be able to get my revenge.
“That’s it!! When my brothers come, you’re dead… Do you? A woman is missing!”
They say that even ogres have worse brains than trolls, so they seem to have noticed that the saintess has disappeared.
…Really stupid.
“Your brothers might not be able to come.”
“What are you talking about, gwo!!!”
“Is the thing on your neck a decoration? Think about it.”
…Uh, the line I just said sounds familiar.
“That’s it!! Human, are you done talking!?”
Looks like the ogre is a bit angry. I need to get a little more angry and lose my composure.
“Hey ogre, do you know that you are the ugliest monster I have ever seen? Less than a goblin, less than a goblin. It looks like a dick, but the head is a decoration. There is no sickness.”
“Gwoaaa!!! Some kind of human is making fun of me!? I will kill you, that’s it!!!”
I spit out her words, recalling the words the saintess used to swear at me, and the effect was perfect. The ogre swung a mace with his right arm as her face turned red. He’s so mad
Kaang!
“…Look at your strength.”
I managed to block it properly this time, but the ogre’s strength was so strong that I was slightly pushed aside. The ogre raised his mace again and began to strike it at me at random.
Kang! Caang!
“f*ck, you don’t even give me a break!”
Different from trolls. It’s the same that it fell over even with low-level provocation, but it far surpasses trolls in terms of strength and speed. I’ve never been so weak when blocking a troll’s club, but now…
“Keuugh!”
Even if I block the mace, the force is pushed and my body is blown away. Isn’t that too strong?!
“Icy Blast!”
Chloe used magic to assist me. Countless shards of ice pierced the ogre’s flesh, but the ogre brushed off the shards of ice like dusting off cookie crumbs.
“What…”
Come to think of it, did you say that your skin is very hard? It seems difficult to expect anything from Chloe’s magic.
“What should I do with that mace?”
I don’t know if the ogre thought it was a waste to kill Chloe, or maybe he thought Chloe wasn’t a threat, but I just attacked.
Perhaps it was because he was strong, and the speed with which he swung his mace was also tremendous. If it hadn’t been for the blessing, I might have been crushed to death by the mace long ago…
I need to cut off that part of the chain connecting the mace’s head and handle. The chain was thick because of the size of the mace, but it would be possible with the cutting power of the holy sword.
“Flame Buster!”
At that time, Chloe cast a rather large magic. The ogre’s head was hit with a fireball that melted his skin.
Oh, I got it right this time.
“Wow!! You b*tch!!!”
The ogre’s gaze, with one side of his face melted, focused on Chloe.
“…Huck!”
Chloe was scared and tried to prepare the next magic right away, but the ogre wasn’t a gentleman enough to wait.
The ogre was about to strike Chloe with his mace.
“Yo, hero! Help!”
Eyes weren’t focused on me, and now, as the ogre was aiming for something else, was an opportunity. At a time like this, he doesn’t need to aim for a mace.
I lowered my entire body and gave strength. His muscles tightened. Like a bowstring pulled all the way.
Pak, I kicked the floor and ran forward. My muscles, which had been pulled enough, were released, and my body bounced off like an arrow.
“Kyaaak!!!”
Suddenly!
Chloe slashed the ogre’s ankle before being crushed by that huge mace.
“Wow!?”
Thanks to that, the ogre leaned, and the mace he was swinging at Chloe hit the ground next to her.
From noble mtl dot com.
Boom!!!
“Hick, yo, hero!”
The mace hit the bare ground, raising dust. Pushing through the dust, Chloe ran towards me. I must have been very frightened to see you flustered.
“Huh … I believed you would save you ….”
“There is damage over there.”
I spoke briefly to Chloe and tried to run forward. But something came flying by and forced him to stop.
Jap!
“…A tree?”
I cut it with the holy sword and saw that it was wood. Tree uprooted.
Looking closely, I saw that the ogre, whose ankle had been cut off, was knocking down a tree next to him and throwing it with one hand.
“That’s it!! Damn human! Where are you!!!”
I don’t even know where it is, but I’m throwing it at random. To be honest, the sight of him pulling the tree with his one free arm was awe-inspiring.
“Still, it’s easy to catch things that can’t move.”
I cut down the flying tree again, kicked off the ground, and jumped up. I jumped on the ogre’s body and inserted the holy sword into the ogre’s neck.
Fuuk, the holy sword lightly pierced the ogre’s tough skin. No matter how hard his skin was, he was powerless in front of the holy sword.
“Keep it off!”
It’s tough. Even though the sword was stuck in his throat, his whole body struggled, as if he had any strength left. I grabbed the holy sword with both hands and broke it sideways.
Wooddeuk!
At the sound of bones cracking, the ogre stopped moving.
“…..Whew.”
Tough, tough.
As I pulled out the holy sword with all my might, the ogre’s blood gushed out like a fountain.
“…Ah.”
Just like the trolls, I was covered in ogre blood.
“f*ck.”
…So f*cking gooey.

“…As expected, the hero.”
Chloe was admiring Abel’s figure from behind. Wielding that huge holy sword freely, fighting an ogre without losing his composure.
I started by cutting off one of the ogre’s arms as a surprise attack, but ogres were still among the strongest monsters among high-level monsters. Abel showed how to overcome such an ogre without fatal wounds.
In particular, when Chloe herself was in danger of being struck by a mace, she cut off the ogre’s ankle in an instant and saved it from danger, like a hero from a fairy tale.
“…I wonder if I can be like that someday.”
Abel made sure the ogre was really dead and approached Chloe. He was covered in ogre blood and his whole body was stained red.
“Chloe, are you okay? Are you not hurt?”
“Thanks to the hero for saving me. It’s worse than mine…”
“Ah…This is not my blood.”
“Not that. You were hit with a mace earlier.”
“…It hurts a bit, but when the saintess comes, you can ask for treatment.”
It was a blessing, but it must have hurt a lot, but Abel didn’t show signs of pain at all. Am I patient because I am a warrior? She was a person worthy of a warrior even in this aspect.
Seeing Abel like that, Chloe remembered the hero she met at the Mage Academy.
Levius Grospel. The man with short red hair was a hero of the kingdom of Minerva.
I know that when he, the heir of the kingdom’s prestigious Grospel family, was selected as a hero, the kingdom was in an uproar.
There was a time when Chloe also admired him. In a way, it was natural for Chloe, who was younger than now, to admire Levius. How many people do not have admiration for their country’s warriors?
However, the longing for the hero was shattered one day.
On the day she entered the Royal Magic Academy, Chloe’s heart swelled with the news that Levius would be the congratulatory speaker for her entrance ceremony.
He couldn’t be happier to hear that the hero he longed for congratulated him on his admission. Chloe, who entered the campus with high expectations in her heart, surprisingly met the hero she longed for.
Facing the hero he longed for, Chloe greeted her nervously. Levius asked her with her gentle smile.
-Nice to meet you, are you an entrance cadet?
-…Yes, yes! That’s right. My name is Chloe!
-…Chloe? What is the last name
-Yes?…Ah, that’s… I don’t have it because I’m a commoner.
However, as soon as he heard that Chloe was a commoner, Levius’ attitude suddenly changed. He withdrew his gentle smile and rolled his eyes as if he had seen something dirty.
-…Tsk.
It was Levius, who glanced at him and left leisurely, even kicking his tongue.
He was so shocked by the experience of being ignored by the hero he admired, that he couldn’t leave the place for a long time.
After that, Chloe had no illusions about being a hero. Even when news of her country’s warriors performed tremendously, she always showed a calm attitude.
However, the hero he knew, Levius, and the Abel in front of him were different.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s also from a commoner, but he always spoke politely to Chloe and didn’t ignore her at all. Even though Chloe was being helped by them and served as a guest.
On top of that, the way he calmly resolved the fight without backing down… To be honest, it was really cool. Abel’s good looks played a part, but that figure was the model of the hero itself.
Chloe said softly to Abel who brushed off her blood from her holy sword.
“…The hero is different.”
“What is it?”
“I feel like a real warrior.”
“Yes?”
Seeing Abel not understanding her, Chloe smiled lightly.
“I think I understand why the saintess calls me an idiot.”
“…Please don’t do that to Chloe.”
Chloe giggled and Abel saw it and thought this.
‘…I hope it won’t be too hard for him.’
It was Abel who misunderstood Chloe’s laughter and felt ominous.
It was then.
Kooung!
There was a sudden roar and the ground shook. It wasn’t the end once. “Thump,” Chloe said in surprise at the repeated roar.
“Looks like there are more ogres left!”
“Um… The saintess went…”
“…Then you’re saying that the saintess failed!?”
To be honest, there was a part of Chloe that I didn’t understand from a while ago.
A plan to entrust one ogre to Abel, and Estelle to take care of the rest. Is that possible considering the saints and warriors in general?
But Abel muttered as he touched her chin.
“…I can’t do that.”
“Yes?”
Thump, and this time there was a roar from quite close. But after that, no sound was heard, and the ground did not shake.
Instead, I heard the sound of breaking through the bush, saying, “Sabujak.” Something was approaching as the bushes swayed.
