86 – The Trial of Nothingness – 17
“Grrr! Don’t bother human!”
“[Psychokinesis]…!”
Use [Psychokinesis] To dig up the ground where Gurush is standing. There is a 99.9% Chance that if you use it against Gurush, you will not be eaten, so you have to use the terrain to attack.
“Grr! Leftovers won’t work!”
“That is your idea..!”
uuu-!
The rocks that were lifted by the telekinetic force flew toward Gurush all at once. The advantage of [Psychokinesis] Was that it was possible to attack without directly using it against the opponent, but the downside was that it was almost ineffective against high-level targets?
Kwajik-!
“If you break the rocks, that’s enough! Grrr!”
“As expected, it doesn’t work…”
To a level 88 Gurush, a rock would be just like tofu sold at a mart, so no matter how much he threw a rock at him, he wouldn’t be able to deal any effective damage.
So I have to think of another way…
“Grrr!!”
“…How do you calm that down…”
-At the very least, if we hadn’t targeted the village, we could have solved it through dialogue.
No, that scary-looking guy is attacking you, so how do you think of a conversation to solve it? If I’m not careful enough, that bastard’s ax will cut through the top of my head.
“It’s so… fast… annoying…!”
“Ah, what are you talking about…”
I wanted to wipe it out with a typhoon filled with void mana and flames of Suzaku, but then the reason for struggling and climbing the rocky mountain disappears.
How can I finish this without much damage… Hmm, no matter how much I think about it, I can’t come up with a number of such cases.
Can’t we just kill a few orcs? As long as I don’t kill the leader, Gurush, it doesn’t matter much.
-Will it work?
‘Then what should I do?’
-Win by force. Orcs respect those who acknowledge them as strong.
‘After all, it’s in place…!’
I asked because I was struggling to win by force. Are there any answers like this sh*t…
“Grrr! Why don’t you attack more, humans!”
‘It’s a loss if I do, so…!’
I noticed it while fighting, but Gurush seems to have the ability to regenerate stamina. It’s unbelievable that there aren’t even small bruises after being hit so many times.
Besides, since Gurush is level 88, there must be a lot of other unique abilities besides his regeneration ability, so the situation seemed to be worse than expected.
-A vague attack seems to just recover.
“…If you’re at that level, wouldn’t it be okay to hit a spear of emptiness?”
-Regenerative ability and mental ability are two different things. Besides, isn’t the damage caused by void mana not fully recovered even with [Purity]?
“Ugh…”
It is true that [Purity] Is an all-round ability, but there was one major drawback.
That means that 100% of the damage caused by the void attribute cannot be recovered. It is recovered to some extent, but it is impossible to cure it.
I’m not sure why, but according to Veronica’s guess, it’s because the void mana is so strong, or something.
“Grrr!! Don’t fight fiercely..! If you’re a male, fight like a male!”
“People who fight like that are often called idiots, you bastard!”
Fire-!!
“Grrr!!”
‘At least it seems possible to attack with flames!’
Wind attribute magic had the advantage of being invisible, but also had the disadvantage of being weak compared to other attributes.
In other words, wind attribute magic is good against mages, but it is not very powerful against tank type warriors like Gurush.
That’s why I’m still burning with flames…
“Isn’t it time you got tired?!”
“Grr! Orcs won’t be defeated by things like this!”
It is often said that the greatest pain that humans can feel is a burn. It’s not just the burn that happens when you hit a hot pot, it’s really the pain of burning your whole body. On fire.
That would be the same for the orc Grush, but he didn’t blink an eye…… Actually, isn’t that guy with a recurrent disease like painlessness?
“Grrr! Hot! But hold on!”
“Ah, you muscle-brain bastard..!”
[Psychokinesis]
“Grrr?!”
Quagagang-!
In the end, worried that the fight would be unnecessarily long, I consumed a lot of mana at once and threw Grush to the ground.
[Psychokinesis], Which has the advantage of being able to change the surrounding terrain at will, can split the land like this and even create a canyon. Of course, that would consume a lot of mana.
Actually, the mana I just used to drive Gurush into the basement is about half of my maximum mana. This amount was enough to use dozens of Void Spears.
“Grrr?! Chief!”
“I got stuck on the floor of Gourush!”
“Gourush! Has disappeared!”
The orcs who were guarding the village from behind blinked their eyes with a bewildered expression when Grush suddenly fell to the ground. I don’t seem to understand what happened.
“Whoa…”
-Isn’t that a bit harsh?
“If I hadn’t done this, I would have lost?”
It was true that I was at an overwhelming disadvantage in the continuous fight. Unlike me, who constantly consumes mana, Gurush automatically recovers his physical strength.
So, it would have been the best way to crush it with void magic from the beginning, but wasn’t it an impossible situation?
This was force majeure, cancer.
-Well… As long as you can breathe, it won’t matter.
“That’s right, that’s right.”
-…But it seems like something is coming up from below…?
“..Huh..?”
At that moment, under the sinkhole I created, I felt a certain energy of mana.
Surely this energy…
“…Gourush?”
“Grrr!!!”
No sh*t?
“Human..! Another cowardly move…!”
“..Do you have any flying ability?”
To my surprise, despite falling into the sinkhole I made, Gurush quickly climbed the wall and returned to normal.
I made it almost 100m deep, but it came up so fast… Is that a real creature?
“Grrr…! Cowardly human!”
“No, what kind of cowardice is this? You just fell for my magic while fighting fair and square.”
“I used some tricks!”
“Are you cowardly if you use magic?”
Sorry, really. Is it wrong to be a wizard?
-…Still, there seems to be no damage.
“..Sometimes it seems like it and sometimes it doesn’t…”
No matter how monstrous Gurush is, since it fell from a height of over 100m, there is no way the damage would be zero.
Actually, if you look closely, it’s not obvious, but the little limp on his feet looks like he’s injured his ankle when he lands.
“Grrr..!”
“Your feet seem to be hurting, so why don’t you give up?”
“Kurrure! Even if defeated, there is no surrender Human!! Do not ignore the pride of us orcs!”
Some guy’s pride isn’t giving me food… What are you so stubborn about? People have to live fruitfully, and if they live stuffy like that, they will only see losses.
“Then it’s more accurate.”
“Grrr!!”
I’m shouting like I’m in a great advantage right now, but in reality it was the opposite. Because he used more than half of his mana at once, the remaining mana was only about two-fifths.
In other words, the more time you drag, the more disadvantageous you are on my side… In that case…!
“Grr? What are you doing, human!”
“…It’s noisy, I have to concentrate because it’s my first time using it, right?”
Currently, my mana has increased 10 times due to [The One Who Rules the Void].
In other words, it also meant that magic that could not be used before due to lack of mana could now be used.
-Are you trying to use the highest level of magic?
‘Shhh, this is more delicate work than I thought.’
Superlative wind attribute magic.
The king of wind magic and the most difficult magic.
I didn’t have a chance to write it, so I was saving it, but finally the opportunity came.
“Grrr! Dangerous! Block it!”
“…It’s late, you bastard.”
In an instant, a huge amount of mana gathered in my hand.
A terrible amount of mana, close to 20,000. If this kind of magic is properly hit, no matter how high the durability is, it will definitely take a lot of damage.
Of course, since the opponent is the opponent, he won’t die instantly.
…Maybe?
“Grrr! Stop right now!”
Feeling threatened by the enormous amount of mana that began to gather in my hands, Gurush kicked off the ground and rushed towards me.
However, thanks to the injury to my ankle, I had a problem with my speed being slightly slower than before, and due to that slight difference in speed, I was able to complete a magic circle with a very complicated spell.
“….A thunderstorm.”
“Grrr?!”
Pajijijik-!!
From noble mtl dot com
A storm covered in bluish electricity spewed out towards Gurush. Its power is on a completely different level from that of Sonic Buster, which is a high-level wind attribute magic.
Honestly, I was aware of the fact that the power would be extremely strong, but this went far beyond my expectations.
In terms of pure destructive power, it felt like it was one level higher than void magic.
“Gaaa!!!!”
‘Wait… I’m not going to die…?’
Gurush, who was properly hit by the storm of heaven, the highest level of wind attribute magic, screamed in agony.
At the same time, I lost focus and fell to the floor.
You’re not really dead, are you? If that happens, things get complicated.
But it’s not like I can use [Innocence]… I’m talking about how to do this.
“Healing touch.”
At that time, a rich voice was heard from somewhere, and a green light shone around Gurush.
Judging by the feeling of mana, it seems to be some kind of healing magic…
“Grrr! Grand sorcerer!”
“Umm… No human has ever pushed Gurush this far…”
Hearing a rich voice, she turned her head in the direction she came from, and there stood a tall, dark-brown woman with a great body, like a model out of place for an orc.
“…What? You’re a human, not an orc.”
A look that can be said to be beautiful even by my standards trained as Veronica. Why is such a beauty among the orcs?
“Half right, half wrong.”
“What…?”
The brown-skinned woman made eye contact with me with a seductive smile. Usually, that type of woman is the most difficult to deal with…
By the way, what do you mean half right and half wrong?
-No way…Is that woman a half-orc?
‘Half…What? Oak?’
-It’s a word for those who are half human and half orc.
No sh*t, the paper is different, but that…The baby is made?
-Interbreeding between humans and other species is possible. It’s because pregnancy is difficult.
‘…Ooh…’
Certainly, most of the heterogeneous races looked similar to humans, so the story was quite possible.
Even with Orcs, if you take off the Orcs’ race name and look at them without prejudice, they’re no different from big bald humans. If you hit it a little bit, it’s like a Hollywood actor’s xinxon feeling?
“I am a half-orc. My father is an orc and my mother is a human.”
“So you don’t make a ‘grr’ sound like other orcs do?”
“Why should I do that?”
I’m glad. I would have really woken up if I had been ‘guru’ with that kind of look and that kind of body.
“Grrr…”
“…Anyway, you look incredibly strong. If I didn’t, Gurush would have died.”
“Um…”
“To beat that Gurush so easily… How high is your level?”
“…It’s a secret.”
Her mana is already close to 0, but let’s not show it. Now, in the eyes of that half-orc, I will look like a tremendously strong person who easily defeated the level 88 Gurush. You don’t have to pretend to be weak.
“Healing touch.”
“Grrr…”
The half-orc approached Gurush, who had been electrocuted by lightning and turned dark, and used healing magic. I, who was watching it from behind, quietly used [Emotion] Toward the half-orc…
[LV 61 Claudia]
HP: 12041/12041
Mana: 12456/13767
Status: None
Claudia. For an Orc name, it’s a useless and classy name. Still, I’m half human, so let’s just move on. Could it be the name given to her by her human mother?
“Grr…”
“Grrr! Powwow! Is the chieftain okay?”
“If you take a day off, you will recover to some extent.”
Claudia walked towards me after finishing Gurusch’s treatment.
Couldn’t it be the second game or something like that?
No matter how much Claudia is level 61, my mana is close to 0 right now. Shooting a few wind spears will completely drain your mana. Then, after that, you have to fight with only the sword…
But fortunately, unlike my worries, Claudia didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting.
“Hey…what are you going to do now?”
“…?”
What are you going to do? What kind of bullsh*t is that all of a sudden?
“What should I do?”
“We, the Orc Tribe, consider strength as rank. In other words, only the strongest Orc can be the Orc Chief, but you defeated Gurush one-on-one, didn’t you?”
“…Right..?”
“So according to the tradition of the Orc tribe, you are currently the highest rank in this village.”
Huh? Does that mean I’m the biggest fan here now?
“You can even rise to the position of chief if you want.”
“…I am human?”
“It doesn’t matter if you’re strong or not. Even the gods worshiped by orcs are not orcs.”
You want me to become an orc chieftain? I absolutely hate that. Would I stay with such lumpy guys just because I was crazy?
Of course, there was Claudia, who was very beautiful by human standards, but I just hated the title of Orc Chief.
“Chief tell him to do it…”
“I thought so.”
Claudia gave me a beautiful smile after hearing my answer. If he was a normal guy, he would have fallen in love right away, but my aesthetic sense tempered by Veronica is powerful..!
“Still, it’s true that you beat Gurush, so there’s no one in this town to stop you.”
“That sounds nice… Why are you guys doing that?”
“Orcs? They must be afraid because the new ruler is a human.”
When I looked at the orcs standing by the village, they averted my gaze in amazement.
It is said that they are a tribe with pride as warriors, but since their leader loses, do they cut their tails right away?
“By the way…May I ask for your name? Oh, if you feel offended by my short speech, it’s okay to order me to use honorific words.”
“It doesn’t matter, my name is Park Ga-on, just call me Ga-on… Why are you so quick to agree?”
“…What?”
When you think about it, it was very strange. No matter how traditional it is, I fan raiders until their chief dies. From Claudia’s point of view, there was no reason to welcome me.
In fact, aren’t all the orcs over there afraid of me? On the other hand, Claudia was very calm, and rather seemed to like this situation.
“There are more than one strange thing. You seem to be the shaman here in town, so why are you welcoming me? I attacked your chief?”
“…That’s an orcish tradition…”
“Don’t try to gloss over it with tradition. Even if that tradition is a common idea, there is no reason for you to welcome me.”
In a society where the strong dominate everything, where can a human being like such a thing? Of course, if you are very strong, it may be different, but if you are an ordinary person, you will never welcome it.
“Answer me. If you don’t answer within 10 seconds, I’ll make you look like the Gourush lying on the floor over there.”
“…..What a violent man. I prefer the friendly style.”
“If I had been kind, I wouldn’t have beaten Gourush like this.”
“That’s right…Whoop…”
Claudia didn’t lose her smile even when she was threatened. Rather, he pressed closer to me and pulled his face right in front of his mine.
Then he quietly twisted his face and put his mouth in my ear.
It looks like he wants to whisper.
“…Actually, I have one request.”
“…Please?”
“Yes.”
What kind of favor are you asking someone you’re seeing for the first time? For some reason, I am very anxious.
“What is that request?”
“…Ah, that’s what I mean…”
Claudia took a moment to answer my question before opening her mouth.
“Could you help me…?”
