episode_0011

I realized.

The orcs I’ve defeated so far have been relatively weak.

As their bodies grew larger, or the number of white tattoos on their bodies increased, their strength increased.

After striking the sword three or four times, it reached a point where he couldn’t breathe.

The smell of blood numbed my sense of smell.

Even if I swung the sword horizontally, he didn’t die. Even if I swung the sword across his abdomen, he didn’t die.

At that time, he took out a black javelin, stuck it into his neck, and waved it around.

“Kaaah!”

The soldiers’ screams rang in my ears.

My gaze and senses had long since turned away from the orc who had just taken his last breath.

A large orc glaring at me from a distance.

It was a guy with an attendant holding a red flag on the orc theme.

That guy has been getting on my nerves the whole time.

It was a gaze that had been watching me since I threw my spear from the top of the wall.

That guy must be thinking of killing me.

But I’m also in a position where I have to kill you.

He split open another head and moved his gaze.

Lucerna’s mercenary leader, Liselin, was not an extra after all.

He was fighting with red blood all over his body.

A shield held in the left hand.

The spear in his right hand was covered in blood and flesh.

She walked towards me after killing the orc with a cold face.

“Meteorite.”

Liselin stood next to me, her one-handed shield raised to her upper body.

“You’d better not approach the orc with the red flag behind him. He’s the orc legion commander. ”

Corps Commander.

I wondered who he was referring to, but it seemed to be referring to the giant orc who had just exchanged glances with me.

The problem is that I’ve already decided to have a fight with that guy.

“I’m going to kill the commander, so can you help me get there? There are a lot of pigs.”

Liselina looked at me with her brows slightly furrowed.

“… Did you even hear what I said?”

I continued speaking softly.

“Is it likely that support will come now?”

Liselina sighed.

“Of course not. Even if you came, you should have come earlier… Since you haven’t come yet, something must have gone wrong.”

“If we kill that guy called the commander, wouldn’t the current situation be resolved? It would probably buy us at least two days.”

“That’s true, but… it’s ridiculous to say it like you’re going for a walk.”

Liselin clicked her tongue and held her shield forward.

“Are you serious?”

“Seriously. Do you have any mana potions?”

“Yes.”

Liselin didn’t seem surprised that I was using mana. I guess she thought that since I was this excited, I couldn’t help but use mana.

The expression on Liselin’s face as she handed me the blue liquid potion was more like someone looking at a strange person than one of bewilderment. All along.

“I know Mr. Yoo Sung is strong, but… I don’t think he’s strong enough to kill the commander?”

hmm.

It was a very cold judgment, to the point of being disappointing.

“That’s right. Just give it a try.”

“Usually you don’t just risk your life… .”

If you stay still, the rest of the legion will pour in, and you will be swept away by the wave of troops and die.

If you kill the commander before that, the second floor may be the end of the stage.

Of course, my instincts were telling me that wasn’t the case.

When I came face to face with Queen Anthranthrop, the name did not come to mind, just like the phrase that had been floating above my head.

This meant that there was a chance that there was a higher level monster above that legion commander.

I looked at the 80 or so soldiers struggling. They were barely holding back the orcs’ invasion like waves at the edge of the sea.

The shield that blocked it had a long, vertical shape.

Numerous spears extending between the shields.

The blade extended towards the orcs, but failed to inflict fatal wounds.

People in the front line were dying one after another.

scream

The sound of breaking meat.

NPC.

There was no way of knowing what would happen if I went to the next step.

In the first place, it was uncertain whether I could clear the current 2nd floor stage.

But even if the story on this level ended without continuing, I didn’t want to see any more soldiers dying.

I admit it.

I am extremely emotional.

Up until now, I’ve only seen dead and dying NPCs, so maybe it’s because I’m with these living, breathing ones.

Bam-

I drank the cold mana potion.

Player level 6 reached by killing an orc just before.

The mana stat’s value has increased by 4 this time, making it 16.

As a result, the magical body strengthening skill also became level 2.

Now, I could barely remember how many orcs I had killed.

I had to kill over twenty orcs to go from level 5 to level 6.

“Really, are you doing it?”

“Yes.”

Mercenary Captain Liselin, who had confirmed my intentions once more, had fifteen more people stand around me.

They were all members of the Lucerna mercenary group.

Unlike the current situation, Liselin spoke in a calm tone.

Just as when he gave the order to depart, he spoke informally as the leader of the mercenary corps.

“Get ready to charge forward. Your main target is a meteor.”

At Riselin’s words, all fifteen gathered eyes turned to me.

Ed, the raid leader who had a brief conversation, was also included in that gaze.

“I don’t plan on being protected. I’ll be at the front.”

Everyone looked dumbfounded at my words.

“They say the goal is to kill that commander. Isn’t that a very bold declaration?”

Liselina nodded forward.

“Let’s try it once. If we continue this standoff any longer, we will suffer a crushing defeat and have no choice but to retreat. Let’s try a reckless choice once.”

The Lucerna mercenary corps all lined up, raising their shields.

He swung his sword and advanced at the forefront of the mercenaries, piercing the orcs in front of him like an awl.

“Everyone return alive! Raise your shield high and completely block the enemy’s approach! Then stab the gap with your spear! ”

The words of the raid leader Ed resonated loudly.

A systematically trained charge formation. The orcs were pushed back helplessly, blood spraying everywhere.

I was just about to cut off the breath of the fierce-looking orc that appeared in front of me.

A huge shadow suddenly appeared over Ed’s body as he took a step forward to kill the orc approaching from a diagonal.

face.

A very ferocious face.

─Orc Legion Commander.

The commander who had been standing blankly at the back just a moment ago had arrived right next to me.

Kwaaang!

The commander’s fist struck Ed’s upper body.

Ed’s body was crushed as if half-crushed.

I could hear Liselina screaming, calling out Ed’s name.

My whole body was on edge.

Hwaak-!

I grabbed Ed by the back of his neck and pulled him backwards, then threw him backwards.

First of all, it was to save lives and see.

From then on, the only thing I could see was the commander.

A huge presence.

Overwhelming pressure.

Orc Legion Commander.

Standing before him, I began to seriously wonder if I had hurt my head in the meantime.

[Focus Enhancement Lv.3 – Activates skill.]

It was because I thought I should give it a try, starting from the tip of my toes.

[Magic Body Strengthening Lv.2 – Activates skill.]

The commander’s arm moved slowly.

The legion commander, lifting the giant battleaxe, stomped on the ground and charged.

With red eyes glowing eerily.

The rushing force coming from such a large body was so fast that it was hard to imagine.

That’s why raid leader Edgar ended up like that.

The axe swung down vertically. It was a brutal attack that carried the weight of the legion commander.

He withstood the pressure of the axe with his clashing swords.

Dragon Slayer Sword Libra.

The first type of sword defense technique that blocks swords by balancing the sword and the body.

The ground I was standing on was cracked but black was intact.

The commander held the axe handle with both arms.

Kwaaaa …

And with a loud roar, he began to swing his axe indiscriminately.

An ashen trail covered the empty space.

Attack is soon defense.

Rather than blocking the commander’s attacks with swordsmanship, he responded with a counterattack.

The hair cut off by the axe blade fluttered into the air.

diagonal.

The situation repeated itself where if I had twisted my head even a little less, my neck would have been cut off and my head would have fallen to the ground.

All of the basic techniques of the Yongsal Sword were destroyed.

Blood spurted from the commander’s neck, but he did not fall.

Even though the neck was thick, it was too thick.

His waist too. The leather protecting his heart and the pectoral muscles on his upper body were the same.

On the other hand, my body was still weak. Even when I deployed the Libra sword technique, I was in a hurry to block a critical hit.

Kagagagagagak!

I twisted the trajectory with a straight sword. But.

Crunch.

Even twisting it wasn’t enough.

A pain beyond a dull ache spread from my left shoulder. Blood flowed out fiercely.

Kagang!

Even though he felt like he was losing consciousness, he swung his sword and struck down the axe.

[Status Abnormality – Bleeding!]

Am I going to die?

It’s just so absurd to die like this.

Maybe I lost too much blood, but the pain just evaporated.

I followed the trajectory in a state close to unconsciousness and struck again.

If you allow just one more attack, you die.

[The level of skill ‘Composure’ increases. Lv.3]

Just once.

Just one more chance.

I don’t hope for luck.

[The level of the skill ‘Fighter’s Movement’ increases. Lv.3]

What I’ve built up.

[The skill ‘Fighter’s Movement’ calls up a linked skill.]

I just wanted to show that it wasn’t meaningless.

[Doombringer Lv.1 – Skill acquired.]

come.

[Status Abnormality – Doombringer is activated depending on the Bleeding ‘Critical’.]

[The body temporarily breaks through its limits.]

One of the reasons why the ‘Sword of Light’ must obtain the ‘Fighter’s Movement’ written in the appendix of the swordsmanship book.

Special condition activation skill, Doombringer.

– Sword of Light) It is the final struggle and the best struggle.

A skill that increases your strength in combat, which often appears in other games, especially in fighting action games.

That’s how I understood this skill.

My joints creaked and refused to listen to me.

But my mind was sane.

More than ever.

There is awareness. At most, 20 seconds is the limit.

If I pass that time, it will be my life that goes out.

He swung his straight sword.

Crossbow, Tursahog.

The sword strike that had not previously hit the target pierced through the commander’s armor and struck his upper body.

Hyartagnir.

Drakavani.

Tres puncturae.

He unleashed all the sword paths that his body remembered.

Again, Tursahog.

A flash of light passed through the commander’s waist.

The commander’s body began to tilt to the side.

─Thud.

The commander’s body lay sprawled on the ground.
