Chapter 30 – Variables
#030.
“Kim Minjun! Hey you bastard!!”
Park Gyu-wan spat out swear words as he left the battlefield alone with his back turned.
‘Uh, what should I do?’
Seeing that, Cheon Jae-hee rolled her eyes and quickly looked around. Even at this moment, people from all directions fell under the attack of the Orcs one after another.
Of course, it wasn’t just about getting hit, it was counterattacking, but it wasn’t enough to handle the offensive from both sides at the same time.
If this is the case, everyone will die.
Especially in the case of Cheon Jae-hee, a woman, she might be dragged by the goblins.
At that thought, her legs began to tremble.
If you lose your guard even a little bit, the sphincter muscle will loosen up and you will feel like peeing. It was at this time that she worked hard on her legs and fired the crossbow.
‘Oh! Who is that?’
It seems that everyone is in a mess, so it doesn’t come into her eyes, but in her eyes, the figure of Gaon popping out of the bush came into view.
She made it clear that the name came from the holiday.
She wasn’t interested, so she didn’t really listen, but she remembered the name because it was so unusual.
I was somewhat relieved by his appearance, but my legs strangely trembled even more.
Glancing at her legs curiously at that, as she looked at her Gaon, she was seen throwing a javelin. The spear that flew fiercely cut the distance to zero in an instant and tore off the head of the goblin with a flashy appearance.
At the same time, the memory of the first time they met flashed through Cheon Hee’s mind.
The images of then and now intersect, and at the same time, the emotions of the time came to life vividly. The horror and fear he felt at that time, all of which even planted the illusion that the goblin’s head rolling on the ground was his own.
To Cheon Jae-hee, Ga-on was an absolute force.
An object of fear that will pay the price for disobeying. And he was the enemy who left a fatal wound in the side of such a man.
Of course, Gaon didn’t kill her and let her go, but who knows if that was just her whim for a moment. He even has the potential to kill him without hesitation if he ever encounters it again.
As soon as I thought that, the sphincter muscle was drained of strength. Along with that, the urine trapped in her bladder leaked out and soaked her crotch.
“Oh, why, why all of a sudden… !”
Due to the fear imprinted on the unconscious, the body reacted on its own. She panicked and tried to hide it.
A grown adult peed not once, but twice. It was more correct to say that the fear of Gaon developed into a conditioned reflex.
It was only after Gaon disappeared into the bushes that the yellow stream of water that moistened her crotch stopped. Chun Jae-hee, who regained strength in her legs, looked around while tightening her sphincter muscles.
‘Oh, didn’t I get caught?’
Perhaps thanks to the fact that she was wearing a robe that covered her entire body, fortunately, the fact that she was urinating was not discovered.
Even somehow, the goblins’ movement returned to the beginning, and the Shinsegae side regained a lot of composure.
As more people were deployed to the Orc side, the damage was noticeably reduced. As if they were going to pay back what they had been put on the defensive up to now, everyone fired back and fired back.
A battlefield where it is difficult to see even an inch ahead. There, fortunately, no one was observant enough for her to confirm that she had peed.
She slipped her hands into her robes, squeezed the damp pants, squeezed the water out of her once, then grabbed her crossbow again.
***
‘Good. It’s definitely different from a normal object.’
After defeating the goblin shaman and hiding himself in the bush, Gaon, who was turning in the direction where the orcs were going to be, clenched his fists and nodded his head.
The increase in physical ability was much greater than when killing an ordinary goblin, probably because of killing the upper entity.
In fact, killing goblins had reached its limit. The exact mechanism of karma is that it absorbs various information of the object and makes it its own.
It is to show the knowledge and know-how gained while fighting the goblins in a more intuitive format.
So, the limit of karma that can be obtained by killing the same monster is clearly set.
It meant that you couldn’t become infinitely stronger just by killing goblins.
Also, hitting the last hit of a monster that others have killed is not a very good choice. Karma is a form that instantly reflects growth through fighting the monster. But how could someone who didn’t fight get that reward?
That’s why Chorin’s physical ability increased slowly in the beginning. Because she only had to finish off the goblins she had subdued.
If that was possible, Union would have become a world where only the vested interests dominate everything.
That’s probably not what this ‘transcendent system’ wants. The power to counter the dimensional invaders will not have a structure that is easy for a few privileged classes to handle.
But there was the only one who got out of that mechanism. That was Gaon, the regressor.
The basic structure of Karma is enlightenment and growth through bloody battles with monsters. The problem is that Gaon has already experienced all of that.
Since the knowledge and know-how gained from fighting monsters already exists, all that remains is to absorb karma.
Yes. Gaon was able to grow on his own just by hitting the last hit.
That’s why the Orc Warrior, the leader of the Orcs, was just waiting to get tired.
Spreading his senses and confirming that there was no gaze around him, Gaon slightly poked his head out over the bushes and observed in detail the Orc Warriors under the joint attack of 10 of the best in the New World.
One of his heads was larger than that of an ordinary orc, and a muscular mass that looked to be about 2m 20cm tall could be seen holding a blunt weapon the size of his height and roaring.
With each swing, the wind rose with a booming sound. The Shinsegae side never collided head-on, but hovered around and attacked.
Occasionally, only when it was impossible to avoid it, the three shield soldiers who were waiting would cling to it and receive the attack. Even after receiving a blow, he retreated for a while and took a rest, rubbing his trembling arms.
Meanwhile, the other orcs were fighting the rest of the New World’s combatants. A battlefield where no one retreated. The fight, which is perfectly balanced, will collapse at once even with a very small variable.
Goblins, Orcs, New World. All of them had less than half the number of heads compared to the first time. Of course, the total is still close to 400, but the placenta is injured and there are about 50 severely injured people who cannot move.
When the number of available combatants drops below 200, that’s an opportunity.
Aiming at the moment when both sides had no time to look around, the Orc Warrior’s breath was cut off at once.
If that happens, in the end this fight will go back to Gaon’s victory. You just have to wait a little bit.
He glanced around to look in the direction where Chorin would be, and then took a leisurely look at the battlefield.
The blood flowed and flowed, staining the ground in the clearing red.
Hundreds of corpses fell on it, and as many weapons as that number were scattered.
Should he be called a madman if he felt longing after seeing such a sight? It’s been a long time since there was a war with so many people together.
It was only natural that Gaon, who had always been fighting a lonely battle alone, recalled these feelings.
Compared to the ruins where everything died, this place was overflowing with life. The source of red vitality continues to be scattered even now, further raising the heat of the battlefield.
Everyone’s stamina fell below a certain level and their movements began to stop little by little. At that time, when the number of people standing firmly on the ground counted around 200, the opportunity was given.
“Kwoaaaaa!!”
The Orc Warrior let out a fierce roar with his scarred body. Along with a cry filled with strong fighting spirit, the blunt tool he was holding flashed with a weak green light.
‘Come?’
Aura or Ki. That energy resource, called by various names, exists in everything in the world. And the aura user who has reached the level of 5 stars can emit that energy to the outside and put it on the attack.
When loaded on a sword, cutting power is enhanced, and when loaded on a blunt weapon, its destructive power is immensely amplified.
Of course, there was no way the shield soldiers could withstand such an Orc Warrior’s blow.
Kwaaaaang!!
“Aaaaagh!”
“Haha!”
The moment the 2m long blunt weapon struck the shield, the shield soldiers flew through the sky as if they had been hit by a truck. Amidst the screams, even the person who received the greatest impact in the center died instantly with his face sunken by the impact transmitted through the shield.
With that blow, the balance that was barely maintained was broken. Without a shield soldier, the last move to pass the moment of crisis was lost.
Not to mention, the Orc Warrior’s blow had the effect of instilling fear in everyone. In an instant, morale hit the bottom, and even people looking around to see if they were trying to escape began to appear one after another.
“Kuaaaaa!!”
The Orc Warrior ran wild like a lion jumping between prey. Each time the heavy blunt weapon sliced through the air, the Shinsegae side continued to retreat little by little.
Of course, the weapons of the Orc Warriors did not have auras as before, but it was difficult to believe in such a fact alone.
‘I’m not good at handling auras.’
Fortunately for Gaon.
It probably ended with squeezing out all the auras and using them for a short moment. If he could use his aura freely, the fight would have been more difficult.
If it had been like that in the first place, I wouldn’t have struggled until now. The important thing is that the Shinsegae side is currently on the defensive and is busy with no eyes open, and the Monster side is running at it regardless of fire or recklessness in order not to miss the long-awaited opportunity.
At a time when no one was paying attention to the outside world, Gaon moved secretly.
He was aiming for an opportunity to get as close as possible to the Orc Warrior, and when he struck down his weapon to finish it off, he scattered his spears with all his might.
Because it had been prepared in advance, the javelin, which was more powerful than ever before, aimed in a straight line at the heart of the Orc Warrior.
“Is it big!?”
He breathed heavily in the pleasure of the slaughter, then hurriedly turned around while letting out a sound mixed with doubt. But at that time, the javelin was already flying close by. In the end, he couldn’t completely block it, and his forearm was cracked by the sliding spear blade riding on his blunt weapon.
In the meantime, Gaon, who picked up a spear among the countless weapons scattered on the floor and rushed at it, blocked it, killed three or four orcs in an instant, and reached the immediate vicinity of the orc warrior.
“Kwoaaaaa!!!”
Wounded and agitated, Jinom let out a loud roar and immediately struck down his blunt weapon. It seemed that the weak aura that dwelled in it felt a considerable threat. The attack, which showed even a slight impatience, was avoided by Gaon sliding low.
Kwak!
The moment the blunt instrument hit the ground, the ground caved in with a heavy roar. Even just looking at it, it was a power that made my bones swell naturally, but it couldn’t affect Gaon at all.
Gaon, who dug right under his chin, threw a spear from the bottom up as if it was bouncing, and pierced his head.
As soon as the spear that had pierced the brain through the soft flesh of the neck was retrieved, the orc stumbled with a gurgling sound and collapsed powerlessly to the floor.
For a moment, a cold silence fell over the battlefield.
No one opened their mouths recklessly, and just looked down at the corpse of the Orc Warrior, who had shown great bravery just a moment ago.
“Whoa…”
Gaon’s small sigh was enough to break the silence. At the same time, as if the silence just before was a lie, the monsters’ murderous spirits gathered at Gaon.
Even Shinsegae, who are human beings, realized that Gaon was the target they were looking for and began to show their hostility.
The moment Gaon, who was in a position to receive the combined attack of the three forces, raised his spear,
“Aagh! Help me! Save me, baaaaal!!”
A familiar scream was heard.
When he turned his head, Kim Min-joon was running like a madman with a full body.
As if following that, the fear of the predator trembled through the forest.
“Kuaaaaa!!”
Similar to the Orc Warrior, but with a distinctly different sound.
It had the effect of making the complexion of not only the monsters who knew the identity, but also the Shinsegae, who were unaware of the identity, turn pale.
And when everyone was frozen like ice, only Gaon was busy.
That would also be the case because the direction Kim Min-jun ran and the place where the troll would be was the place where Cho-rin was hiding.
As if to prove such concern, Kwajik soon! Trees in that direction fell down with a roar.
─Kyaaaaagh!
A piercing scream echoed through the forest.
