29. You’re ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
“Is this voice… A demonic sword? They say you have it in case of danger.”
[Look, but the handle is well sealed, right? It would be more comfortable for you to talk to me than to talk to the unsociable warrior.]
“Keep…”
After I uncovered the identity, the movements of the two changed.
It wasn’t that dramatic of a difference. His body movements, which seemed exhausted, became vigorous again, and unlike the way he had been pushed by the corpse a moment ago, he began to push the corpse again.
In the first place, the reason why they were able to fool even the brave, experienced, smart, gentle, and handsome me wasn’t because their skills were that good. Rather the opposite.
Is better than the average level adventurer, but not up to the gold level. He was literally mediocre, so he was able to disguise himself as a silver-level adventurer.
[I’m sure you wouldn’t be able to deal with an Orc Shaman at your level?]
Orc shamans are scary, but prepared orc shamans are even more terrifying. Although it does not reach that of an ogre in terms of single combat power, it is capable of defeating monsters in the upper row of ogres when the conditions are met.
This was also a feature of the power of sorcery. Compared to other instant powers, it requires a lot of hands and is cumbersome, but when the power is expressed to that extent, it overwhelms other types of power.
“Grunt. It’s embarrassing, but it’s true. I can’t help it.”
“Taka!”
I don’t think the name is a lie. Well, that’s how it came out on the status window.
Taka, who crushed the head of one of the corpses and shook his head to shake off the flesh, immediately declared in a solemn voice.
“As an examiner, I will declare the completion of the promotion request. Cream-sama can exercise the authority of a silver-level adventurer from now on… Eek!”
While he was talking, a corpse suddenly reached out to him. Quickly turning his head to avoid the attack, Taka continued.
“Even if I use my power any longer, I will not be blamed. Please help!”
“Kyaaa!”
In the meantime, a fairy who was dealing with some corpses was caught by his hair and was seen rolling on the floor. Apparently, as a ranger to a fairy, there is no choice but to be at a disadvantage in close combat.
Even in this world, there is no such thing as extra damage against undead to divine power! It is the beings of darkness like me who are at odds with the divine power, not the beings of the ‘other world’.
“Okay.”
As the hero nodded lightly and stretched out his hand, a fire that was incomparable to that of a fairy rose. The corpses burned by the warrior’s flames could no longer rise.
Absolute extinction without leaving a handful of ash. After lightly handling the corpses, the hero closed his eyes and started humming quietly.
[Muh, what did you do?]
There was no change in her outward appearance, but the momentum of her thrilling power radiating from her was felt by everyone. Even the shaman, who had been silent for so long maintaining her sorcery, was embarrassed.
Only the warrior and the person closest to him could hear the hum, low as a nightjar and thin as a finches. A song that somehow makes my heart sad.
Soon the hero opened his eyes, stretched out his hand toward the sky, and then lowered it.
[What a clown!]
The orc shaman shouted harshly, but everyone could sense that it was the bark of a frightened dog. Nothing happened, but the momentum of the warrior’s power was rather growing.
“Huh?”
And then, water droplets fell from the sky.
The first drop is in the fairy’s ear. Soon, showers began to pour over the entire orc settlement they had used as a battlefield. That was the result of the hero’s great magic.
I asked the spirits to turn the clouds that had flowed elsewhere into this direction. The battle was temporarily stopped and the world was buried in torrential rain in an instant.
[No, no…!]
The rain washed everything equally. No residual fire, no holy water, no blood. The bloody patterns engraved all over the orc village began to flow after being hit by a strong shower.
The rain stopped as quickly as it came. The clouds quickly lifted, and the sky that reappeared was clear and clear.
[Ah·······.]
As the sun shone, the underworld withdrew its shade and withdrew. The pattern of blood spread by the orc shaman left no shape, and the blood of the people who would have been sacrificed flowed mixed with the rainwater.
The Orc Shaman, who had been unable to move while maintaining his magic, was finally able to move. He swung the totem he had planted on the ground and charged at the hero.
[The blood of our people, the sorrow of our people!]
[I don’t think the person who used it has anything to say.]
[Shut up! The sacrifice for that holy ceremony is so futile!]
It’s a holy ritual, so I don’t think you’re talking about the crude magic performed by an orc shaman.
In the first place, it was an unmatched fight, like a match between an adult and a child. The warrior lightly dodged the orc shaman who rushed at him with a howl, and broke his totem with a series of kicks.
[Chuaaa! You guys!]
The Orc Shaman howled bitterly, but it couldn’t change reality. The hero who jumped up lightly after kicked the orc shaman’s chin, pulled me out and swung me.
[Hey!······ Huh?]
I thought I’d seen blood after a long time, but I felt only a slight sense of cutting, perhaps because the only thing the hero had cut was the Orc Shaman’s clothes. As I was exhausted, something fell from the shaman’s arms.
Skulls? As soon as he saw it, the orc shaman’s face turned as pale as his corpse.
[Stop it! Stop!]
The Orc Shaman, who was shocked one after another, couldn’t even control his body. Staggering, it screamed at his throat.
[What do you want! I’ll listen to anything, please!]
Ignoring all the voices, the warrior approached and picked up the skull. Hmmm, I can feel it a little bit. The skull was a shamanic symbol, like a tribal totem.
However, unlike the totem, which was unreasonably large in size and crude in texture, the reverberation of high-ranking sorcery was felt from the skull. At the level of an Orc Shaman, he couldn’t even dare to imitate.
“Somehow, intrusive, Danny.”
[Stop it!]
The hero hit the sword and broke the skull.
The terrifying mental wave of the Orc Shaman suddenly stopped. The orc shaman, who had cried and shed ugly tears, remained still as he was.
Like a light bulb that ran out of battery, the tattoos that tightly covered the orc shaman’s body lost their light one by one. Even the totem, which had been cut in half, crumbled and returned to a heap of dirt, rocks, and bones.
“Chueek.”
When the orc shaman opened his mouth again, it no longer emitted mind waves.
All that was left was an ordinary orc. Although unusually large, he is just that, a shabby wanderer with no tribe to belong to.
*
“We will go now.”
Taka, who took the tribal totem and the giant orc’s head, nodded to us. It’s a piece of evidence to prove the completion of the quest.
[Yes. You don’t need to find me later, right?]
“Yes. We will do all the post-processing so that there is no inconvenience.”
Since you’ve already uncovered your true identity, there’s no need to continue a more uncomfortable companionship. However, I stopped Taka from reaching for the skull.
[Leave that aside.]
“Yes? However, this is evidence of the request…”
[Uh huh, write. In the first place, looking at the contents of the request, there was no item about loot?]
A request that was only made hastily to figure out what a hero is like. This orc village was also just a suitable place to choose. It was just bad luck that there was an orc shaman there.
[The hero mercifully passed over your deception…]
“Oh, I see.”
Unable to overcome my threats, they left the skulls. After the two uncomfortable people left, the warrior patted my doorknob and expressed his curiosity.
“What, because?”
[I don’t think it’s a normal thing. Did you feel uncomfortable too?]
“Yes.”
Hundreds of years ago, there were Orc Shamans. However, as I said earlier, Orc Shamans roam the wilderness. Not in the suburbs of a nearby city like this.
Above all, the shaman, who should be the strongest protector and supporter of his people, attacks the chief and steals the totem he made himself? It’s not enough to show such strange behavior.
[This, it’s a little bit when you break it, but the soul flows in.]
From noble mtl dot com
When the medium of magic was broken, the orc shaman reverted to an ordinary orc. It’s not uncommon for an orc shaman to carry the medium of primitive magic, but this high-level object is a different story.
An item touched by a high-ranking shaman who is incomparable to an Orc Shaman. On top of that, the power of the soul was so secretly hidden that even I didn’t notice it until it was broken.
[Are you suspicious?]
“Yes.”
The warrior who must have read my thoughts together silently nodded. No, is that the end?
[What, is there anything like uncovering a hidden secret here or destroying an evil organization that stinks?]
“If so, would you like it?”
Of course, I knew that our warrior had a weak sense of justice, but this is too much to think about! Rather, does it make sense that I, a demonic sword, worry more about the world?
“Worry, that’s not it.”
[Ugh.]
Well, actually it is.
My inclination is closer to evil than good, and at the same time I am also a demon. The motive that moves me is not grandiose justice or grand conviction, but just pleasure and interest.
And the secret story that originally operates in the shadows of this world is the most fun way to dig! It’s not that the novel that fights against the evil organization is strong and strong.
A cliché is not a cliché for nothing. It’s so obvious, but it’s so much fun!
“Okay, later.”
[Huh?]
“Later, I’ll find out.”
[Yah! I promise!]
If you dig into such a malicious organization, you will be able to see familiar faces again after a long time. The more you throw yourself into danger, the higher the chance that the hero will die.
······Will you help me a little when I am in need? Big hum. It’s going to be difficult if the hero doesn’t even release my seal and dies, so there’s nothing I can do about it.
But I hope the hero who is still reading my thoughts won’t be mistaken. I did not acknowledge or acknowledge you as the owner. It’s just because the situation can’t be helped.
“Poop.”
[Don’t laugh! Let’s leave quickly.]
“Yes, yes.”
[Don’t laugh!]
The warrior started walking with a nice smile on his face. Clinging to the belt I had become accustomed to, I quietly swayed along with the beat of her steps.
Although the divine power she exuded was still eating away at me, she didn’t make me feel as uncomfortable with her as before. Rather, what I feel from her is her familiar and comfortable …
[Wait! The city is not in that direction?]
“Yes. Separately, there is a place to go.”
[Still, I have to bring the holy sword!]
“Ah.”
Still, if there is one fact that cannot be denied.
The trip with this guy was definitely fun.
