Maybelle, who advanced using the blessing of acceleration, reached the front of the ogre in an instant.
The blessing of acceleration is not just the speed of movement, but the movement of the body itself.
In other words, to increase the attack speed.
“Haaa!”
Shashashashashak! Mabel swung her sword at the ogre, already using more than 10 slashes.
but.
“Why is your skin so tough?”
No matter how fast she swung her sword, Maybelle’s sword only left residual scratches on the Ogre’s skin and could not produce a clear effective hit.
“So I told you, idiot! Your skin is tough!”
“I never thought it would be this tough….”
-Cooo!
The ogre was furious at Maybelle, who had left minor scars on her body, and struck down a huge two-handed ax from top to bottom.
Kwaaang!
However, Maybelle immediately retreated and was already near Kalt.
“Who knew!”
“So, I told you several times to listen to what people say. Last time we were hunting a group of monsters, I told you to be careful because there were quite a few of them, but you….”
“No nagging during battle! Follow Kalt!”
Maybelle interrupted Kalt and rushed towards the Ogre again.
“Ah-oh.”
Annoyed by Maybelle’s attitude, Kalt used his body enhancement and immediately followed behind Maybelle.
With Marty’s blessing and regular body strengthening training, Kalt was able to move at a speed that could match Maybelle’s.
Meanwhile, Ogre picked up the ax stuck in the ground again and this time swung it horizontally at Maybelle and Kalt who were coming towards him.
Buuung! An ax that heavily cuts through the wind.
The ogre’s attack has the power to instantly cut even a log once hit.
Percussion!
Maybelle and Kalt jumped high at the same time to avoid it.
Kalt, who jumped up and jumped higher than the Ogre, shouted to Maybelle.
“Maybelle! Shoulder! Then take care of it! Ianna, let the magic work!”
“okay!”
As Kalt and Maybelle fell down, they struck the Ogre’s shoulders with their swords from the left and right sides respectively.
Sigh! Kalt and Maybelle’s swords slightly cut through the Ogre’s skin.
We have already confirmed that even if Maybelle swings it, it only causes minor wounds.
If so, focus on creating countless residual scars.
Kalt and Maybelle, who came down while slashing the shoulder, moved like a gale and cut various parts of the Ogre’s body.
Even though it has arms, legs, stomach, back, grip strength, and tough skin, it moves across all directions at a speed that an ogre’s eyes cannot follow.
-Kooo!
Even though the ogre roared and spun around sharply while swinging its axe, Kalt and Maybelle were not hit.
While constantly moving, they swung their swords without interfering with each other and avoiding the attacks of the ogres that came in between.
‘But it’s really tough, ogre leather. It would be difficult if this wasn’t a famous sword or mana blade.’
As he swung his sword, Kalt felt that Ogre was not the gatekeeper for becoming a veteran adventurer.
Maybelle’s attack didn’t just leave residual scars for no reason.
Maybelle’s attacks, which prevent her from missing training due to Kalt’s nagging and at the same time have the added power of protection, are more powerful than Kalt’s.
Therefore, Kalt used more force than usual when cutting down monsters and increased the number of residual wounds just like Maybelle did.
To deliver a big blow through this residual wound.
“Maybelle! Kalt!”
And now the signal for that one shot has come.
Maybelle and Kalt immediately stepped back.
At the same time, countless blades of wind that Ianna appeared rushed towards the Ogre.
Beginner magic involves firing multiple wind cutters, but Ianna fired each wind cutter with magical power equivalent to intermediate magic.
Chop, tsk, tsk! A bloodbath broke out.
The blade of the wind dug into the minor wounds created by Kalt and Maybelle, causing bigger wounds, and a large amount of blood flowed from the Ogre’s body.
-Cooo!
But that alone did not make the ogre fall.
Instead, the Ogre roared even more at the humans who had injured him by shedding more blood and lunged at Ianna.
“It’s not over yet! Eat this… eat it!”
A large amount of magical energy gathered together to form a huge blade of wind.
Intermediate magic wind blade.
A spell was fired that enhanced the cutting power even more than the wind cutter that had just been fired.
-Cooo!
Kaaa!
“…You’re lying!?”
A spell that could seriously hurt even an ogre if it hit.
However, the magic disappeared when it collided with the ogre’s ax while charging.
“Well, it’s that tough!”
“You’re not the gatekeeper for nothing! Maybelle! Let’s spread the distance apart first!”
“Let’s run away?”
“Will it miss us? Increase the distance until it shows no signs of charging! I’m taking Marti with me.”
“Chii, I don’t buy foam.”
“Then why don’t you fight that angry guy alone!”
“too bad!”
While complaining to Kalt, Maybelle followed Kalt’s words and turned backwards, kicking the ground.
Kalt carried Marti and Maybelle carried Ianna on his shoulders, widening the distance between them and the charging Ogre.
Boom towards Maybelle’s party! thud! thud! When the pace of the ogre’s footsteps slows down as it runs towards you with big steps.
Kalt and Maybelle also slowed down and looked back.
The Ogre, with blood all over its body, was breathing heavily, as running while bleeding took a lot of stamina.
However, Kalt did not think that Ogre was weakened by that appearance.
“Hey, Maybelle.”
“why!”
“That wound is almost completely healed?”
“what!?”
Surprised by Kalt’s words, Maybelle stopped suddenly and looked back the moment the Ogre stopped walking.
“Ugh! Me, Maybelle! If it stops suddenly…!”
“Oh sorry.”
Thanks to this, the sudden stop caused Ianna to feel strong pressure on her stomach.
Maybelle apologized to Ianna and focused her eyes on the ogre.
Clearly, the entire body was covered in blood that had already been shed, but no new blood was flowing out.
“What is that? What kind of troll is the ogre? Well, get better so quickly.”
“At best, it was only a little bigger than a minor wound. In the first place, an auger has that much recovery power.”
“What is that? It’s disgusting!”
“That’s why he’s called a veteran gatekeeper. What should I do? Leave like this?”
Honestly, I wanted to go back to Kalt.
But it wasn’t Maybelle.
“I told you! You’re already here, so why are you embarrassingly running away? If you run away, everyone will make fun of you!”
“Then what should we do? Keep cutting him until he collapses from bleeding?”
“Ugh, I don’t like that… It’s out of style.”
‘What are you doing with this bitch?’
“Ah, yes! Kalt! By the way, you said last time that you thought you could use Mana Blade!”
“I just said I had a vague idea.”
“Anyway! The Mana Blade can easily cut that guy’s skin! So, try using the Mana Blade right now!”
“What? Hey, do you know that the Mana Blade just needs some spirit?”
“I heard you caught my senses! I’m saying that you should develop your senses in real combat! There is a strong enemy right now, so all you need to do is awaken them!”
“Do you think this is some kind of fairy tale, you idiot? Make it easy!”
While Kalt and Maybelle were bickering, Ianna shouted as she fired her Wint Cutter towards the front.
“Khalt! Maybelle! The Ogre is coming again!”
“Look at that! It’s coming! Now is the time to awaken! Kalt! Awaken! Give it to me!”
“Oh… this is really….”
“Kalt, try your best first. If things don’t work out, Kalt and Maybelle’s speed are enough to back you off.”
Kalt sighed heavily at Marti’s words.
“Haa… Then you just hold on. I’ll try something. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just carry Ianna and Marti and leave.”
“Hehe. Stop sounding weak already… just give it a try!”
As Maybelle approached the Ogre again and swung her sword, Kalt closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
“Fuuuu….”
My experience so far, the lessons I learned while helping the grandchild of an old retired adventurer, and finally, when I became aware of the flow of mana that I always used when strengthening my body.
Kalt is a different movement of mana than before.
He could feel a slight sensation of magical power being transferred to the sword he was using as if it were a part of himself.
In order to maintain that feeling for a long time and at the same time capture it clearly, Kalt had been training hard for the past few days.
And now again, Kalt concentrated his mind and tried to reproduce and cultivate that sense more clearly.
The heart beat faster as it moved and wounded the ogre.
The blood supplied through the pounding heart circulates throughout the body.
The mana used to strengthen the body flows and spreads throughout Kalt’s body in the same way as the blood flow.
Recognize that sensation clearly.
At the same time, it expands the sense.
More out of your own body.
A sword that is connected to one’s body and is like a part of oneself.
Little by little, mana begins to move towards the sword.
Once it started to move, Kalt moved more mana into the sword with the sense of widening the flowing passage.
How much time has passed?
“Khalt, not yet! I’m having a hard time now!”
I heard Maybelle complaining.
‘It’s noisy because I’m concentrating.’
More mana.
More focus.
More will.
Put it on the sword.
And the moment I felt that enough was enough.
Kalt applies the transferred mana and imagines converting pure mana into magical power filled with will.
A blade of pure magic that can cut through anything.
It’s like a martial arts class that I saw in my past life.
Like the Mana Sword you only see in fantasy or fusion fantasy.
The blade of blue mana.
“Khalt!”
Hearing Marty’s exclamatory voice from behind, Kalt opened his closed eyes.
“Ha, this is it?”
The first thing Kalt saw when he opened his eyes was the Mana Blade, which, although it was imperfectly waving, somehow took the shape of a sword.
