“It is better to pay the indemnity! All too, gagging!”
A sharp fire spear pierced the man’s chest and pierced the huge tree in front of him.
The mercenary, whose body seems to have been shattered, begins to bleed, and a huge tree with a burst trunk squeaks and falls, blocking the path and starting to burn.
Same goes for other roads. Acrid smoke flowed in the wind like a river, obscuring the view.
“Kreuk.”
“Kick! Crackle!”
Goblins armed with shoddy weapons attack the mercenaries who are struggling as the road is blocked.
Kicking them and slashing them with a knife, a huge ogre came and grabbed someone and chewed through the head with his teeth.
“f*ck it, does it make sense that there are two ogres? And one of them isn’t just a twin-headed ogre, it’s a magician!”
As if to block their escape, someone shouted desperately as they cut off the head of the goblins who turned around and attacked them.
An ogre that is said to be the strongest among humanoid monsters. Instead of being inferior in intelligence, if only physical strength is considered, it is the one that is at the top.
“Krarak!”
If only it had one more head to think on and its intelligence was so high that it could instinctively learn and use magic.
“Never collide!”
I held the codex in my hand and gnashed my teeth as I hung up the parts shield that had been torn off several times.
The twin head ogres were a couple, not one, but two, and one was a normal fighting ogre, but the other was a magician.
I just couldn’t do it with this much power.
‘If I had known that in advance, this would have happened.’
It was still a day before arrival to the expected ogre spawning point.
He was talking with Kane, who said he was on his way back, as a siren.
‘I never thought the ogres would attack first. That too with a group of goblins.’
I watched the other side of the ogre crushing a man to the ground with one hand to extract the juice, then looked away and flipped through the pages of the codex.
Magic that is too big can’t be used right away. It’s not just our party, it’s a mix of other people too.
Besides, normal ogres can’t use magic, but they have high resistance, so if you can’t finish it in one hit, what you’re using right now is self-killing.
“Haap!”
puck!
Rachel runs and blocks the ogre’s hand from falling onto the fallen mercenary.
Zero holds a bow and every time the ogre looks away, it puts mana into its eyes and fires an arrow, but thanks to the toughness of its leather, which can be blocked just by closing its eyelids, it has two of its four eyes so far. They only destroyed one eye on each other’s head.
From noble mtl dot com.
Even that was to the extent that it could be seen regenerating after pulling out an eye that had been pierced by an arrow.
Leaf is attached as a regular twin-headed ogre, not a magician ogre, because if he blocks magic attacks, he consumes the remaining mana in his mana heart.
I was worried about sending Riff alone, so after sending Luna along, two fighter ogres and three magicians.
This is how our party split up.
“Now, if we care that far, we won’t be able to eat or porridge. Take care of this place first and then join.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Zero takes over as my escort and doesn’t move and fires a few more arrows to keep me in check, but it’s not enough to properly pierce the tough leather.
“Pick up your sword. That would be better than arrows.”
“but… If you do, you won’t be able to keep Adelian by your side.”
“There is Aegis! Just go!”
When I mentioned the Aegis, Zero seemed to have no choice but to raise his sword.
Grinding his teeth at the roar of the warrior ogre who charged from afar and hit people with his arm, Zero put an aura on his sword and jumped out.
One of the doppelgangers he interacted with seemed to be good at using a sword to the extent that Kane was wary of it at the time, so it should be fine.
The transparent Aegis flies around me, slashing flying debris and nullifying exploding fireballs.
“Kiryat!”
In addition, Aigis blocked even the goblins that attacked me with his round body, so I pushed back the goblins with magic missiles.
No matter how twin-headed an ogre magician is, since it is a monster that is far from original magic, the cooldown of each magic is extremely long.
“Kuaaa!”
So, as if my nullification of magic had stopped quite a bit of aggro, the ogre whose finger had been cut off by Zero’s sword didn’t care, and stomped towards me.
Are the fingers healing in real time on the hand that extends here and playing as if their tips are protruding little by little?
“Uncle, join us over there! Don’t just hold on to your ankles!”
At that point, Rachel attached most of the mercenaries to the fighter twinhead ogre, then ran towards me and smashed the tree thrown by the magician ogre with her fist.
“Buy me a minute!”
At my words, Rachel quickly clung to the ogre.
Puff!
I wrapped the protruding knee in my fist and hit it.
At that, one knee bent back and his posture collapsed, so Zero cut his wrist and backed away, firing an arrow from close by and popping his eye again.
Starting from class 6, there are usually a lot of range magic and there is a delay, so when dealing with a single entity, use class 5 magic that can be fired immediately.
As I flip through the codex, I use the shield on Rachel and Zero, and then launch dozens of magic missiles to keep them in check.
As if he had used up all of his mana, he put his hand on the magic that used to replace a broken magic stone that was stuck in the codex.
A reduced version of the 7th class Fury of the Heaven.
Thunderbolt of the 5th class.
“Rachel, zero! Back off!”
At my words, the two hurriedly run toward me, and at the same time, I see an ogre looking for and attaching my severed wrist.
“Light, fall!”
Like a thunderbolt in the dry sky, a flash of lightning struck from the empty sky.
The field of view flashed white, and the stones around them scorched and bounced, and the twin-headed ogre magician in the center screamed.
“Klaralaak!”
The nearby goblins were also burned to death in the aftermath of the thunderbolt, and at the same time, two magic stones from the codex exploded instead of permanently disappearing the page.
‘When I go back, I go to the requesting office.’
Grinding my teeth, I opened the subspace again to replenish the magic stones, but the tanned ogre pounced and raised a finger and pointed in my direction.
That moment.
Fain!
The Aegis that was spinning around blocked something and flew behind me with the impact, reflexively tearing off the parts shield.
A normal non-magic mana cluster?
Paschuk, Paschuk.
phut!
Aegis flies rapidly to the mana concentration bullet that flew towards me again, blocks it once more, and bounces further away.
Every time the blackened magician ogre moved, the burnt skin on the outside fell off and the white-ripe muscles cracked, revealing the red raw flesh inside it bleeding.
almost dying.
In other words, the still-dead ogre was trampled on the ground and bit by bit recovered after eating a goblin that had been burnt in the aftermath of the thunderbolt.
After recovering from the brink of death, mana gathers enough to create haze around the body.
“What, what kind of ogre is awakening!”
Rachel shouted incredulously.
And I was also frustrated. You are not the main character, why do you cross the threshold of death and awaken?
It surrounds the ogre as if mana was swirling around it.
“under!”
Arrows shot by Zero are also deflected by the whirlwind of mana, and Rachel’s attacks are also bounced back by the counter-elasticity created by the whirlwind of mana.
Because it is awakening, the attacks of normal Aura users will no longer work.
You don’t know how much stronger you’ll become when your awakening is over.
“One more… … .”
Rachel shouted as I raised my hand on the high-circle page, prepared for permanent disappearance and discovery of my true identity.
“no! The awakening now concentrates the mana around us, so if we use magic incorrectly, we will be repulsed and endangered.”
“Then what shall we do, junior!”
Zero returns to my side to block the front, and Rachel glares at the ogre wrapped in a mana whirlwind.
“Kuwoah!”
“Suddenly, it became more ferocious!”
“help me!”
In addition, as if the fighter ogre was also stimulated by the magician ogre’s awakening, the screams started again from the other side.
It held up well, but it’s unreasonable for the subjugation team, who had originally expected one, to block two.
It is also common for those who died running away as soon as they knew that there were two of them.
“I’d rather join everyone over there and kill the normal ogre first!”
I shook my head at Rachel’s cry. The mana whirlwind now slows down little by little.
If it took more time to awaken, it would be worth targeting, but now it is rather like a trap card.
“Once you don’t join… … .”
The moment you join, both sides will be annihilated.
I was about to refuse him, but at that moment, someone’s voice stuck in my mind.
＜Come to the direction where the flare explodes.＞
Kane?
* * *
―We need to get rid of the fighter ogres here.
“Leaf, I can feel what you’re talking about.”
I don’t know why. However, Luna was sure that both of them had the same mind that they had to kill this ogre as soon as possible.
Leaf is also a follower of Adelian.
“I don’t want to die… … .”
“If only this tree is removed!”
While the mercenaries, who panicked at the appearance of not one but two ogres, broke and blocked the road and clung to the burning tree, Luna spurred her flight upward.
Eyes bigger than their own feet. Kicking it as if to burst it, at the same time twisting and changing the direction in the air, standing on the shoulder, standing on the knee, stamped the chin of one of the two heads.
Thanks to the aura wrapped around it, the ogre’s jaws meshed arbitrarily, and one of the teeth broke off and grazed Luna’s cheek.
He grabbed one ear and headbutted it, then swung it as if to drive away a flying fly, kicked off the palm of the hand that was trying to grab his body, and threw his body behind the ogre.
“Koooooo!”
The output of the mana heart was raised momentarily, planting mana in the fingertips, and the leaf’s capital, which accelerated in the elbow, pierced the ogre’s stomach.
I pulled out the intestines as it was, but it healed in the meantime, and the intestines dangled outside and were slowly sucked inside.
Literally a monster.
A monster of that size is a distant opponent to catch in one shot.
“Kirya!”
The goblin throws a knife at the mercenary who turned his back to keep the ogre in check, but Leaf grabs the blade with his hand to defend it and breaks the goblin’s head with the handle of the knife.
“Whoops, whoops. can do!”
“Kuaa!”
The mercenary, who had briefly dodged the tree trunk wielded by the ogre and added a meager aura to his sword, stamped the ogre’s foot once and retreated.
It’s a common subjugation method, but most of them have to deal with them while gnawing away their strength with wheel warfare until the leather’s toughness and the mana that helps the body’s regeneration run out.
‘It’s only possible if all the mercenaries attack!’
In order to catch a huge monster, set a trap and set restrictions on its movement, form a group of dozens of mercenaries, engage in a wheeled battle, constantly attack to burn mana, and then kill it by the time a normal spear knife enters.
But now, they were attacked in the opposite direction, and their movement was restricted by this side.
This is Luna and Leaf, who threw away the thing that hid their power. And thanks to the mercenary who came to his senses even belatedly and the mercenaries who gritted their teeth and attacked from the beginning, he was barely holding on and taking out the power of the ogre.
It looked like a stalemate, but it was benefiting very little, like gnawing at an ogre.
If we keep going like this, even if it takes some time, we will be able to catch it closely.
‘young master!’
The problem is over there Magician Ogre!
Even though Rachel is in the middle of the opponent, it’s only three of them?
‘I can’t trust Rachel too much.’
know her identity Neither Adelian nor Rachel tried to hide it from each other.
However, there is only one reason why Luna and the others are not afraid of her.
‘Because play is just a dream.’
A dream that has been dreaming for a while in a long time. Mutuuga Rachel Everything that happened was Mutouga Rachel’s fault.
It moves only within the limits, conditions, and settings set by the dragon Rachel.
No matter how much you love someone, have a child, or have something more important than your life, no matter how much hatred or anger accumulates, play is a dragon’s dream, and once the game is over, all of that love and anger will be forgotten.
So, even if Adelian was driven to the brink of death, it was impossible for Rachel to save her life by using more than the power she decided.
‘Please hold on!’
Luna gritted her teeth and only aimed at the ogre’s ankle, kicking him to his knees when a sound exploded behind him.
Piyuung – Dig!
signal flare?
A signal flare emitting red smoke exploded in the distance, and at the same time I saw Rachel running towards this place.
“Why are you here!”
“We need to grab this bastard and join them over there!”
Why is Rachel, who should be with Adelian, here!
“Adelian went to where the flare exploded! I said it was an order, so I had no choice but to come!”
Luna bit her lip at the sight of Rachel screaming as if screaming as she ran towards the ogre with her aura on her fist.
