As I was going down the stairs, the feet of the man who was going down in front of me suddenly stopped.

The man took out the potion bottles from his pocket and handed them to me.

“Take this, it’s the potion the captain asked you to give him.”

There were five potions in total.

“If you are lacking, come to me while you still have life left or return to the castle on your own.”

“Okay.”

Unlike Liselin, the leader of Lucerna’s mercenary corps, he was a man who spoke informally without hesitation, but I didn’t dislike him or feel bad about him. It was just that he seemed to be taking the current situation very seriously.

[NPC – ‘Lukeruna Mercenary Corps Attack Captain’ Ed]

Ed also handed me a bandage.

I opened my mouth.

“Do you think you can drive them out?”

The number of orcs appeared to be roughly one hundred and fifty.

Ed, with a noticeable scar above his right eyebrow, spoke calmly.

“The fact that they have advanced with such numbers means that the Orc King wants the complete fall of this Cycleve. He is not simply looking to take a look and loot a little. In this situation, it is not our role to completely drive out the Orc army.”

Ed continued quietly.

“Our role is to hold out while hitting and running away. It’s not us who will kill them all and behead the orc king. That’s the role of the knights who will arrive soon.”

I don’t entirely agree with that statement.

Edna, I know something that every soldier on this earth doesn’t know.

This is Pandemonium difficulty.

The armament is complete.

From the side, the voice of Liselin, the leader of Lucerna’s mercenary group, was heard.

“Our role is to hold out. Like we always do. Yoo-seong, let’s defend by guarding the display together. ”

What Ed said a moment ago and what Liselin said were very similar.

It’s a reasonable choice.

“I’m sorry.”

But that choice is not the right answer for me.

“I’ll take care of it.”

“Huh?”

I passed by Liselin with a blank look on her face.

The answer I came to was a fight.

I took a strong step forward.

Fortunately, what the ‘Dalley Golem mk.2’ gave me wasn’t just pain.

The fear of this situation died.

The hesitation disappeared.

He took the javelin he had taken out of his inventory and held it in his right hand.

Wow!

He swung his arm towards the head of the orc in front of him.

The spear pierced the orc’s forehead. The orc’s body fell to the ground. It was an instant death.

Just one for now.

Sreung!

He drew his sword and ran.

So fast that you could hear the wind blowing.

[Focus Enhancement Lv.2 – Activates skill.]

Wedge!

I dodged the orc’s axe that was slashing down vertically by sliding my body.

As I dug right under his chin, I saw his confused eyes. I stuck the sword straight into his neck.

Swish!

He kicked the bastard in the stomach and pulled out his sword.

Choaaaak!

Drops of blood scattered in wide horizontal lines.

Two for this.

All the orcs nearby focused their gaze on me.

He used the small amount of mana that had settled at the bottom of Manaheart throughout his body.

Two orcs rushing at me at the same time came into view.

Thick, muscular legs and arms. The pectorals exposed above the skin had no separate armor. A monster.

We have to hunt all those monsters.

[Magic Body Strengthening Lv.1 – Activates skill.]

A power that permeates the entire body.

There is no reason to hide that power.

Whoa whoa whoa!!

A scream pouring out of the mouths of two orcs. And the trajectory of the spears that slam in and the axes that cut through the air.

Kwak!

He twisted his toes and twisted his entire body in an instant.

I can do it because I have strengthened my magical body.

It was a rush that instantly surpassed the limits of my physical abilities.

Dead angle.

The two orcs entered an area of weakness where they could not prepare for it.

He stretched out his right arm holding a straight sword.

Dragon Slayer Sword.

Second form.

Hjartagnyr.

A straight sword was thrust into the abdomen of the orc who was slightly further ahead diagonally.

He pulled out his sword and swung it horizontally.

The body of the orc that was hit with a stab to the abdomen was additionally engraved with a diagonal slash.

The head of the orc next to him rose up along with his right arm.

That’s it for net.

Kwaaah!

In the meantime, another orc approached.

I haven’t seen it.

I was so focused on the two guys I just killed.

A single streak of light blocked my vision.

Kwajik!

An axe hit me in the right shoulder.

Even though I was wearing armor, the pain in my head was intense.

The strength in my right arm completely disappeared.

The body moved instinctively.

My position and the orc’s position intersected. The orc’s body staggered and swayed to the side.

He quickly switched the hand holding the straight sword to his left hand and succeeded in delivering a horizontal slash.

He twisted his body backwards and thrust his sword into the orc’s heart.

And pulled it out.

[Level up!]

[Lv.4 → Lv.5]

[The ‘Strength’ stat increases by 5.]

[The ‘Agility’ stat increases by 4.]

[The ‘Stamina’ stat increases by 6.]

[Mana value increases by 2.]

It flew away in an instant.

The accumulated fatigue.

The pain in my shoulder that had been so severe until just before has completely disappeared.

As you level up, all wounds on your body will be healed.

That was the moment when the rule was confirmed.

Phew.

I took a deep breath.

I saw the corpses of orcs lying on the floor, breathless, and red blood flowing from their bodies.

The thin puddles here and there were made of red blood.

“… … .”

The movements of the orcs surrounding me stood still.

What the heck, were you scared?

***

Liselin, the leader of the Lucerna Mercenary Corps, was dumbfounded.

After arriving at the Cycleve Castle, an autonomous city of the Ermain Empire, a series of absurd situations continued.

The first is that proper reinforcements have not yet arrived.

And the second is that the enemy Orcs have a force of nearly one hundred and fifty.

The third time was when the man who had killed the orcs by throwing javelins and smashing their skulls and piercing their hearts, said he would join him in an all-out war.

I might die very easily.

meteor.

The young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, revealed his name to me.

A strange name that sounds like a pseudonym even if you just say it.

The sight of him calmly throwing spears from the wall and piercing the hearts and heads of the orcs seemed like it could do its job, so I put aside my bewilderment and welcomed him.

But then he left the display right from the start and started killing orcs on his own.

And he does it quite skillfully.

The orcs, who had been rushing forward without thinking, had now suddenly stopped moving. It was as if time had stopped.

‘I was overwhelmed by the momentum of the meteor.’

Liselin swallowed hard and adjusted her grip on the sword she had drawn.

Kwaaaa …

The silence was broken by the mighty roar of a giant orc.

Although he was not the Orc King, he was clearly the leader of the Orcs on this battlefield.

‘Orc Commander.’

Liselina knew the guy.

He was the one who walked around with a red flag and was called the Red Legion Commander.

As the commander shouted in a way that made his eardrums rip, the orcs regained their senses and began to charge at Han again.

Han, never tiring, fought against the men, holding a sword in his right hand and a spear in his left.

“Everyone join in! Come on!”

At Liselin’s shout, the mercenaries all drew their weapons and charged towards the orc army.

I had no intention of starting a real all-out war.

I just thought of holding out until the knights arrived.

But that author, Yoo Seong, made it too harsh.

It might be worth it.

So much so that he had such crazy thoughts.

Meanwhile, the war began.

【 Transcendent Gallery 】

Many in the Transcendent Gallery were still floundering in the debate over ‘Who became Delissa’s husband?’

Title: Surely it’s not Corbin, the man Delissa married?

Author: ㅇㅇ

– I don’t think I would have been pushed around by such a sloppy knight.

(Absolute Monarch) Could it be Corbin? It must be one of the Seven Heroes. Maybe Voltas or Greven?

No, Monarch. If you were to marry one of the Seven Heroes, would you make your daughter the leader of a mercenary band? Let’s think about it calmly.

(Changwang) That’s a very plausible analysis. It could really be Corbin or Fodran…

Can you intuit the story of a monarch who was NTR’d by a commoner and not even a hero?

N f*ck lol

n If you become a knight, I can understand. I am confident that I will be thankful that I am not a villager.

(N Shigungchanggeomseong) No, no. The more I think about it, the more I feel like shit and the more I realize how meaningless it is, so let’s stop this pointless argument.

N It looks like the palace is really in a state of shock ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Nah, let’s stop it lol

n Pioneer) It doesn’t really look like it, so let’s stop.

N I’m a climber lol Anyway, if you see this article and are curious, be sure to ask.

n If the answer is not revealed, delusions will pile up on top of delusions.

We need a superhuman to end this endless war of illusions.

There were also articles on other topics.

Title: For a climber to get 1st place in the 2nd floor stage ranking.

Author: Archmage

– It’s virtually impossible to set a new time record on Pandemonium difficulty. You have no choice but to kill a lot.

n Sword of Light) Yeah, it might work if you go with the kill count.

N These crazy guys are talking about getting first place in a situation where life or death is at stake.

ㄴ You shouldn’t try to understand the thinking of hardcore terminators with your ordinary mind.

ㄴ 天魔) Rather than that, I think it would be right to decide in advance who to trade with next when the climber’s interdimensional trade cooldown runs out. Let’s do it on a first-come, first-served basis. Since I’m the one who brought up the topic, I’ll be the top priority.

N… Wow, is this a Cheonma? Isn’t it a disguised Cheonma? It looks so small.

(N Priestess) Hawaii, I don’t think the trade will be limited to the waiting room on the stairs. The cooldown will begin once the exchange meeting is over. I think it would be right to go to the 3rd floor stage and give them what they need then.

ㄴ Heavenly Demon) … Why are you suddenly spouting out logical words? It doesn’t suit you. I said let’s go on a first-come, first-served basis.

(Great Wizard) If you do as the priestess says, it will work.

(Ice Queen) Frozen! I’ll be waiting for my chance too! A chance to help the climbers…!

(N Dragon King) Phew, Beltui- I woke up from hibernation. What’s up…? The gallery has become more active.

n Sword of Light) Grow again.

(N Dragon King) Beltui – The light sword is so welcome, but it’s so scary. I can’t sleep.

(Sword of Light) Die.

Today too, time at the gallery passed peacefully.
