Chapter 178 – Cannibals (5)
Me and the ogre cub collided in the air.
The fiercely swinging nails collided with the ogre’s club. That club was not a great thing, but when it collided with the claws made of green mana, it dug out greatly.
“Hoo?”
A strange color bloomed in the ogre’s eyes for a moment. It was worth it. It was the first time that bastard had ever seen the offensive power of my season in person.
‘This bastard?’
Of course, I was just running hot.
Because of that reaction that seemed to believe that he was absolutely superior? No. What pissed me off was that there was almost no sign of him.
The ᚲ (Kenaz) rune that was not used when it first appeared! I roared, baring my teeth.
“A fucking bastard steals someone else’s runes and uses them!!”
This chewy dared to prepare for a surprise rune from me!
That’s why this bastard didn’t take it off even after finding the tracker on the jacket.
If I hadn’t noticed the too motionless fake ogre and figured out where he was hiding, he’d come to the front without a shot and almost get hit again.
“Is there a problem? It must have been because I wasn’t used to it. Try better next time.”
The ogre cub retorted with a polished tone that was at odds with his savage appearance. Then, right before I fell from the air, I tried to hit me with a club.
“Sanhon ironwork!!!”
I pulled myself up and scratched my nails.
Shukak-!! The ogre’s club was cut into three pieces. With one weapon lost, the ogre cub finally frowned.
“If you’re going to get it right, use good equipment, you asshole!!”
─Corruption! We landed on the floor almost simultaneously. As soon as my feet touched the floor, I approached him without giving him a chance to move.
The ogre threw the smashed club away. He swung the stick with both hands. They had to buy time in close combat until Tyrsi retrieved the spear and threw it.
‘That bastard, the quality of equipment is lower than I thought!’
It was a good thing for us. He was a guy who had something presumed to be a relic, so he tried to defend himself if he looked at the liver and thought he was going to fuck up.
‘I’m forced to make it with my bare hands!’
I changed my strategy. He clipped his nails and clenched his fists. A fist would have been faster to break the club.
Kuung-!!
Clubs and fists collided. In the few seconds remaining before switching to the next attack, I measured the difference in strength between the ogre and mine.
Also, my physical ability was higher.
It was as judged from the movements seen in the village. Even if you have an ogre’s race, your opponent is a shaman! It seemed that he would not be pushed back in close combat if he only paid attention to the heavy attack coming out of his body weight and his four arms.
I laughed ferociously and launched an attack.
“He’s a fucking water muscle. Try the size!”
“Tsk. Your skills are much better than I thought.”
The ogre blocked the attack of my sharp claws with one remaining stick.
There, I felt the level of skill that was not like a monster at all, but it seemed that he had gradually grasped the situation as he was smashed to pieces every time he blocked it.
The arm on his shoulder moved.
There was no distance to throw a fist. Until you threw away the club, that bastard wouldn’t be able to hit you with your fists.
In other words, what those hands decorate——
“ᚺ(Hagalaz)!!”
“It’s a one-pattern.”
I dodged before the ogre’s hand spawned a barrage of fire. He didn’t attack with a stick, but moved his upper body after me.
‘There are bastards who turn on their channeling skills while they’re not in a rush because they’re always fighting and put everything aside to focus on it.’
The ogre pup looked like that type too. I should have been able to check it with a stick, but the other hand stopped to hit the magic.
“〈 Ice Arrow 〉!!”
“ᛊ(Sowulo)!!”
At that time, a support attack flew from the rear.
Frost arrows and heat rays burst into the topped ogre’s back to create a fake to fool us.
“You are cheating! Inferior!!”
The ogre pup didn’t pay attention to the attack at first, then suddenly gnashed his teeth. It seems that he was able to notice that the attack magic that flew at him was not alive, because he was the same magician.
But now that I noticed, the fuck didn’t make any sense.
Ogres have runes that increase resistance to attack magic.
The fact that this bastard is a threatening enemy to our party with a high percentage of wizards is true.
‘But, to be honest, those runes are magic.’
The ᚦ(Thurs) rune was like a magic shield that consumed MP to protect HP. If he continued to use MP like this, there were only two futures for that guy.
At the end of a 2v1 MP battle, he ran out of MP and was frozen to death by Tirsi.
It was like breaking the mana savings account that he had been working hard on.
“That’s why I should have doubled the head, not the arms!!”
I shouted as I continued my attack.
If I had known that I was being tracked, I should have been hiding and aiming for the right time.
Because he was overconfident in his intelligence and rushed to use the magic circle, he is now cornered!
“〈 Ice Arrow 〉!!”
“ᛊ(Sowulo)!!”
Our party members moved around and fired attack magic with good MP cost effectiveness. As the frost arrow landed on his face, he felt the ogre cub’s anger exceed his reason.
“WWuuuuu!!!!”
The ogre roared madly, swinging his club at random. I dodged it and put my elbow on the hand holding the club.
“Quaaaaa!!”
The green-skinned hand missed the club. Thinking that it might end more futile than I thought, I tried to prepare for the finish.
It was then.
─Glee!
The yellow eyes shone. The ogre’s arm moved. The hand that had lost the stick grabbed my shoulder.
“My baby.”
As I guessed, this bastard had the temperament of a warrior. The ogre stopped my movement like that, and Hagalaz exploded the sparks I had stored up at close range.
─Puuuuu!!
My eyes were colored with flames. The ogre didn’t stop there and ferociously exploded the rune magic.
“ᚺ(Hagalaz)!! ᚺ(Hagalaz)!! ᚺ(Hagalaz)──!!”
─Kwagwagwagwagwang!!
Six fireballs followed each other and hit me.
The high-fired chains that made the flamethrower look like a toy reminded me of a grenade warehouse on fire. The 1st hit was similar in power to my 〈 Burning Hand 〉, but the rate of fire was the difference between heaven and earth.
Naturally, if the sparks exploded from this close position, he would have been caught in the explosion himself, but the ogre seemed to believe in his magic resistance.
It was a judgment that tried to piss me off, even if I spent twice as much mana on attack and defense.
“For a weak, inferior subject, you are pushing your burden this far. It was pretty good.”
─Kooung. The ogre let go of me, burning like a candle inflated a thousand times.
“Your meat is worth eating. Indeed, it will be the first dinner in decades… “
The ogre, who had been talking smugly, stopped talking.
─Break!
It could be because I woke up casually while burning, or it could be because of the spear I had retrieved in my hand before I knew it.
Watching the ogre open its mouth stupidly, I intuitively sensed the success of the surprise attack.
“Fire Punch.”
─Aww!! Scattering fire like a tail, he swung the spear straight.
“ᚹ(Wunjo)──!!”
The ogre activated the rune and gathered all his arms together to raise his guard.
When four of his thick arms stood side by side, they gave the impression of a shield made of muscle, and as the mithril spear blades flashed vertically, the green skin had to spurt purple blood.
“Keep it off… !!”
“I told you. If you’re going to get it right, use good equipment.”
I raised my spear to cut off the ogre cub’s limbs.
The spearhead that Lalilura gave me 〈 Puppetry 〉.
Enchantment.
That was the secret to how I was able to retrieve the spear and counterattack even though I was burning with flames.
‘You bastard isn’t the only one carrying enchanted items.’
During the time left before the promotion test after the last fight, I asked Ralilura to put 〈 Puppet 〉 on my spear.
When fighting in the other world, I made use of the experience of throwing a spear made with money and almost killing it with my bare hands.
That was the secret to recovering the spear, and it was thanks to Veronica that she was fine even after being hit by fire.
A wooden amulet that Veronica engraved the rune of ᚦ (Thurisaz) on!
Before coming here, we were all equipped with it.
Even when I didn’t know enchantment magic, just like I made the mask of Impressionism, it was easy to distribute the effect of runes that were activated by ‘carving’ to others.
Since there was no material for the enchantment magic, the effect would be cut off if it fell from Veronica, but there was no reason not to prepare for the shaman.
The ogre would have broken the magic if he had shown it so openly.
That’s why I pretended to be wary of the firecrackers and looked for an opportunity to surprise them from the front.
“Sleep, guest. I’ll cut off your limbs, so stay still? I’m a veterinary student, but it’s my first surgery on a pet ogre.”
People with six hands have surgery to cut off one finger, so wouldn’t this kid also have 3 or 4 limbs within the margin of error?
I said that and raised the spear, but the ogre toughly tried to attack even though he was wounded to the extent that his bones were exposed.
– Booung!! The ogre raised his arms like a shield to protect his torso and punched him.
I was about to lower my spear to block it, but I changed my mind about the large ᚹ (Wunjo) rune engraved on the youngster’s chest and the destructive power felt in his fist.
I step on with a calm head and avoid the range of the attack.
The ogre pursued me with bloodshot eyes and fired a series of two fists on his right.
– Booung!! Booung!! Booung!!
The term speaker was not an exaggeration. Just like a boxer with two arms attached and jabbing alternately, fists the size of my waist poured into my nokul.
The power could not be underestimated. A missed attack hit a rock in the forest, which exploded and scattered like a dynamite-filled blast.
‘Fuck, that’s fucking scary.’
I broke out in a cold sweat and walked away.
I noticed that the cubs and magic wars were transferred to the MP fight, and the pattern changed the pattern. I stopped walking backwards and crossed to the left of the ogre.
Veronica shouted as she moved according to the plan she had planned.
【Dear!! It is the rune of ᚹ (Wunjo) that strengthens the body!! Don’t even think about fighting head-on!!]
【That means you were taken away!!】
【Yes!! It’s my rune that he stole with the rune of ᛃ(Jēra)!!]
The ogre activated the rune that Veronica had stolen.
Just as that conscience-stricken mana thief stole the runes of ᚲ(Kenaz) and ᚨ(Ansuz) from me, this time he was abusing the stolen runes from Veronica!
“You fucking R4 chip bastard—it!!”
I widened my eyes at the young ogre that rushed at me like a tank of attack and defense.
Memories of childhood overlapped on the face of a man-eating monster who would eat even his parents.
The day I received Pokemon Platinum as a birthday present and took it to school!
The face of the gombo-bbang glasses-jabber who boasted of the Giratina pack he downloaded to the R4 chip, asking who would do such a thing these days!
“To think that a bastard who doesn’t normally work with metal only increases his strength with magic teeth and imitates a warrior!! You bastard don’t even have a conscience!!”
It was me who shouted because my eyes were rolling, but still, being angry is being angry and being hard is being hard.
The difference in abilities has been reversed. We heard an explanation about the effect of the rune stolen by Veronica, but the output was higher than we expected.
Veronica, the original owner, said that it wasn’t a skill that fucking qualifies like Beast Regression, so the basic power was low, and if you overdo it, you’ll have side effects.
‘Side effects are none of our business, but this output… !!’
Did you finally write it?
Maybe it was because I was distracted while thinking about it. The time has come when you can’t avoid the ogre’s fist. I focused my mana on my eyes and received a series of punches with a spear.
─Kooung!!
“Keuk… !!”
I let go of the impact of the punch and dodged the ogre’s arm.
If I get caught over there, I would have suffered a submission or a mount this time. Fucking with sweaty, green-skinned bastards that aren’t our wives? Fuck you.
Still, as much as I worked hard, I heard Tirsi shouting from behind, firing magic that spring is coming.
【Nord! Right Waist!! It’s an accessory hanging there!!]
