Chapter 15 – Compromise
#015.
“Kuok!”
Grasping his heart and taking a quick glance at the man who was about to collapse, Gaon charged at the orcs who were about to raise their weapons. Ignoring the guy with the shield, I headed for the guy who was roaring wildly with a halberd.
“Kuuuuu!!”
Kigigi-
I missed the halberd that was ignorantly swinging.
This time it’s ran He gave a strong outward spin and shook the impact point, preventing him from being able to properly apply his power.
When the spear drew a graceful curve, the halberd could not properly utilize the powerful power within it and the trajectory was disturbed and hit the land of Ammon.
As a result, he lost his balance and stumbled.
“Huh!”
Gaon could not miss such a gap.
He immediately swung the spear – turned it, caught the recoil, and then slashed it towards the orc’s flank.
The guy is completely defenseless.
So you can never avoid this attack.
I thought so, but Orcs have a fighting instinct that is incomparable to that of Goblins.
Besides, he’s not the only one here.
The shield man who intervened from the side took Gaon’s spear instead.
Caang!
The spear hits the shield and bounces off powerlessly.
Soon after, Gaon jumped backwards to avoid the halberd that came out from the side of the shield.
It’s not too hard either.
Of course, it was only a one-to-one exchange, but if it were a goblin, it would have cut off one of them the moment they lost their balance.
Even if he had blocked it with a shield, he would have stumbled, unable to handle the leeway of the spear, and Gaon’s spear would have aimed for that gap.
In this situation, you can think of how goblins can divide their territory with orcs.
Normally, if the power difference was so clear, it would have been annihilated, of course.
It was that the head of the goblins was a shaman.
In fact, Hidden Peace exists here as well.
Just to the southwest, where the survivor camp is currently being formed, there is a cave that sealed the trolls.
The place where the illusion barrier was built needed constant maintenance, and only the goblin shaman could do that.
In fact, even a troll could handle it with dozens of orcs clinging to it. However, they did not do that because only the orcs would lose if they caught the trolls that way.
If the Orcs suffered a great deal of damage and their population decreased, the goblins would take advantage of the opportunity and attack them.
Of course, that’s not all.
Orcs had low intelligence on average, so there were no spells or magical objects.
The goblins set many traps using witchcraft in their territory, and the orcs did not have the ability to dismantle them.
On the other hand, goblins live without interfering in their respective realms because they cannot handle orcs without the power of witchcraft and traps.
“Yaaaaap—!”
At that time, Chorin appeared from beyond the bush. The orcs also turned their heads in shock at the action of rushing with a loud cry, perhaps intentionally trying to attract aggro.
It is a spinal reflex action.
Everyone is surprised to hear shouts of cheer and footsteps from behind in a confrontation with the enemy.
Wee. Gaon’s spear pierced again, aiming for the momentary gap until the orcs confirmed Chorin’s appearance and became enraged.
“Suck!”
“Quaa!?”
The spear was hurled, and the orc, who hurriedly turned his head forward, hurled his halberd. Both weapons traced exactly the same trajectory.
If this is the case, they will collide with each other.
Even though his physical abilities had risen a lot, compared to the Orcs, he was terrible. If they collided head-on, it was Gaon who would be disappointed.
And, of course, Gaon had no intention of doing that.
Gaon waited for the moment when the spear and halberd met with his excellent body vision, and gave an inward rotation just before they collided.
I (拿)
Press down inward
As the spear momentarily spun, the halberd was sucked into the current.
The power carried by the halberd melted into the air current, giving it even faster rotation. As a result, the orc’s arm turns in a direction it shouldn’t.
Wood deuk-
“Kuaaaaa!!”
It happened in an instant.
Right before their weapons collided, the spear rotated, and the arm of the orc caught in it was twisted.
As soon as its roar could be heard, Gaon powerfully shook off the spin and blew the halberd into the sky, immediately launching a series of attacks.
Desperately blocking vital points, the rest of the arm was struck with a spear, crushing it like sorghum cans, and stabbing through the eye sockets and stirring the brain.
“Kreak!”
The strong body of the orc collapsed, and now only one person with a shield remained.
Due to the sharp turn, Gaon turned his slightly sore arm around and approached him.
The shield-bearing orc glanced at Chorin, who was repeatedly advancing and retreating from behind, then retreated from Gaon.
He was looking for a gap to get out somehow.
But how is that possible? Even when they were two, they couldn’t handle one Gaon, but now Chorin has joined them.
Although a shield is good for defense, it cannot block both sides. In the end, he was repeatedly stabbed in the back by Chorin’s attack from behind while dealing with Gaon’s attack from the front, and lost his strength due to excessive bleeding and collapsed.
Gaon looked down at the man who was out of breath as if he was about to pass by, and instructed Chorin.
“Lee Cho-rin. Kill me.”
“Yes!”
Chorin did not hesitate to ask even at the sudden words.
This is all about caring for yourself. Rather than rejecting it, it is wiser to just accept it with gratitude and find a way to reciprocate it.
Under such judgment, Chorin raised his spear and boiled the orc’s throat.
“Wow!”
Shortly after, Chorin retrieved his spear and suddenly exclaimed and scanned his body.
What was so strange was that her eyes widened.
“Lee Cho-rin. Why?”
“Ah, that’s because the body is full of energy! I think my physical abilities have greatly improved!”
“It seems that there is a big difference in physical abilities between Orc and Lee Cho-rin.”
“Is it like that?”
“I will do that. Then take a water bottle.”
“Ah, yes!”
It is a game-like system.
The more you kill the stronger opponent, the more karma you get, and as a result, your physical abilities greatly increase.
It can be said that you have caught a high-level monster.
It is only in games that experience points are reduced due to problems with balance or fairness, but this is reality.
There is no reason to worry about balance patches.
At this rate, in addition to being a healer, Chorin can also be expected to play a role as a combatant. If you can handle at least one orc, you won’t have to worry about protecting it any longer.
‘Still, it was easier than I thought.’
It’s because he exerted his spearmanship in earnest.
In the fight against the goblins, it was possible to push only purely physically, but in the case of the orcs, that was impossible, so they had no choice but to gain the upper hand with technology.
So he used the skills he had accumulated while living in Union. Heated spearmanship. As the name suggests, it is Gaon’s own spear technique.
It is a skill that only uses the basics of the basics of spearmanship, but it is a season of its own that has supported it for over 20 years. Again, it was a great help.
Gaon searched for the arms of the orc while simulating the previous fight.
Chorin also helped with the search by his side, and the moment he got up with a water bottle hanging from his waist,
Pussuk-
The nearby bushes trembled.
“What?”
Chorin, who was searching for the arms of the orcs right next to the bush, let out a dumbfounded voice.
“Quaaaaa!!”
It was an orc. The female orc, who had escaped from the bush with her droopy grandmother’s milk bobbing, gave a loud roar as she saw the fallen orcs on the ground.
The blood vessels burst and the red eyes immediately went down to Chorin. Just like that, no, the old orc raised the big stick in his hand.
“Avoid!”
“Ahhh…”
Do you see a kaleidoscope?
Despite Gaon’s warning, Chorin blankly looked up at the club above her head. Her paralyzed tongue, unable to even complete her words, becomes her echo and hovers in her mouth.
‘Shit!’
It is unreasonable to expect Chorin to come out on her own. Gaon spurred on even busierly and intervened between the orc woman and Chorin.
Before long, her stick fell off.
Kwak!!
“Ouch… !”
This orc year’s strength was no joke.
He blocked it with his spear pole, but his arm was bent terribly by the irresistible shock.
The stick pushed through and stopped only after it smashed her right shoulder blade.
Taking more time is dangerous.
Really, it is possible that this single orc will remain behind rather than at the end.
Gaon hurriedly drew mana from Danjeon and whirled it around her whole body. In response to her will, the mana that was scattered in all directions in an instant amplified her physical abilities and made her forget the pain.
Gaon removed his strength from the spear that was blocking his club. At the same time, he lowered her body, threw the orc woman off balance, dug into her, and stabbed her in the side with the dagger he had hidden in her arms.
Pooh!
He went straight through the lungs.
A blade poking through the narrow gaps in her ribs pierces her organs, exacerbating the wound.
Then, with force, he slid along his ribs and cut a long cut to his navel.
Through the cracks in the wound, yellow fat and numerous organs were exposed.
“Ku, ku uh uh… !”
The ugly old orc who had smashed her shoulder and smiled contemptuously retreated as his belly skin was slashed in an instant. He tries to stop the dripping organs, but the fountain of blood bursting from his mouth comes first.
Eventually, her legs gave way and the orc woman sat down and glared at Gaon with her eyes mixed with resentment, then powerlessly closed her eyes.
“Ha… Ha!”
A rough breath came out.
Not just physically, but mentally exhausted from the unique tension between life and death.
She almost lost her chorin.
Even after making a mistake right after the return, he managed to gain a companion, but it would have been quite difficult if he had lost it.
I must have been very lonely
When she turned her head back, Chorin’s face contorted as she looked at the orc woman’s corpse. She must have been very surprised, but she cried when she saw Gaon’s lowered shoulder and burst into tears like a child and came running.
“Go, Mr. Gaon! Wait a minute. I will treat you right away.”
“Please.”
“Sorry. You got hurt again because of me! Whoa…”
Not once, not twice. Chorin couldn’t suppress her feeling of sorry for the situation, which was repeated again within a day. In response to her tears that continued to flow, Gaon quietly reached out and stole her hand and said calmly.
“No. If Lee Cho-rin was right, it would have been a big deal.”
“Miss Gaon…”
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
She couldn’t understand why she was comforting herself when she was hurt. Seeing that her shoulders were completely down, even though her pain would be great, she didn’t care at all and only worried about her.
Chorin, oblivious to this situation, suppressed her beating heart and put her hand on Gaon’s shoulder.
Pahah-
Her green glow bloomed, and her shoulders began to recover little by little with a hissing sound.
However, as expected, it is impossible to completely heal only with her Chorin’s mana.
So, there was only one thing left.
“… Go, Gaon. That, lack of mana…”
“Then I can’t help it. Please. It’s still uncomfortable to use her right arm.”
“Ugh…”
Chorin, who thought she would never touch Gaon’s genitals again this morning, cried at the choice she faced in just a few hours.
That’s why she can’t turn away from Gaon, who was hurt while trying to save herself. Chorin placed her warmer on a rock near her, and she carefully knelt in front of it.
“Okay, then I’ll do it.”
“Yes.”
Her hand pulled down Gaon’s pants.
