by admin17th Floor Mountainous Area.
Inside the shelter close to Jeon Yi-seok.
Jeong Yu-shin confronted the Mountain Ogre.
The ogre’s gaze lingered on the broken greatsword.
“Keup!”
Laughter erupted from the ogre’s mouth.
Jeong Yu-shin frowned.
‘This bastard.’
I recognized it from the way it would chew on explorers after barely keeping them alive instead of killing them.
It’s a guy who knows what malice is.
‘An ogre overflowing with humanity.’
It even knows how to laugh at a broken greatsword.
I made up my mind.
A swift decision.
I won’t spare any magic power in this fight.
I reached out my hand.
[Eternal Ark]
A huge golden coffin appeared and slammed into the floor.
Thud!!!
Elf’s treasure.
A golden coffin, a totem inventory that increases stamina, strength, endurance, magic power, and recovery.
The vast auspicious energy that poured out from the coffin brightly illuminated the cavern, which had been submerged in blood and darkness.
“Geu-wo?”
Startled by the blinding light, the ogre covered its eyes with its hand holding the wooden club.
Now.
[Sacred Weapon]
[Grant Trait]
[Gale]
I swung the golden single-edged sword with one hand. The acceleration ability through the ‘Gale’ trait shone.
In a fleeting moment, my vision narrowed and the ogre’s figure grew rapidly.
‘Ogres have weak joints.’
I already learned this while dissecting the Twin-Headed Ogre at the Monster Dismantling Site.
Ogre-type monsters have weak joints.
Director Aldaine taught me.
‘What was it? The cartilage between the kneecaps cannot be regenerated.’
Is arthritis a disease that even monsters can’t avoid?
The problem is that I have to insert the sword exactly between the kneecaps.
This is not a problem either.
[Sacred Weapon]
[Grant Trait]
[Frost Tracker]
I threw the single-edged sword into the air and created a golden Zweihander, grabbing it with one hand.
To reduce the center of gravity, I grabbed the ricasso part and stabbed straight.
The target is the right shin.
Thwack!!!
The blade, over 2m long, cut past the shinbone.
“Geueo-eo-eo-eok!!!”
As the effect of the Frost Tracker imbued in the Zweihander, that is, the magic that seals the opponent’s movements, was activated, the ogre’s body stopped abruptly in its place.
At that moment.
An arrow flew from the cave entrance.
Paaaaaaaah!!!
Thwack!!!
The arrow pierced the ogre’s left eyeball exactly.
The ogre, its head tilted, lost its balance and stepped back.
Thud thud thud!!!
The Iron Golem charged and grabbed the ogre.
Good.
[Sacred Weapon]
[Grant Trait]
[Half Ogre Gauntlet]
Golden radiance shone on both hands.
I grabbed the broken black iron greatsword and ran.
The target is the knee joint.
“Heup!!!”
I pulled the greatsword behind my head and jumped high.
Flying in an arc, when the ogre’s knee got closer.
I swung the greatsword down in time.
Crack!!!
The black iron greatsword, combined with Jeong Yu-shin’s weight, collided with the ogre’s kneecap.
“Kkeu-wo-eo-eo-eo!!!”
The ogre screamed.
Jeong Yu-shin clicked his tongue.
I heard the sound of bones breaking, but it’s still not enough.
‘It’s incredibly sturdy.’
Landing on the ground, I twisted my waist with all my might and swung the greatsword horizontally.
Crack!!!
This time, I definitely felt it in my hands.
A delayed cross-cut precisely dug into the space between the ogre’s knee joints and severed the cartilage.
“Geu-wo-eo-eo-eo-eo!!!”
The ogre screamed again and knelt on one knee.
The Iron Golem did not miss the opportunity and charged from the side.
But it was hit by the club that the ogre swung reflexively and flew away, crashing into the wall.
It had an arrow in its eyeball and one knee was gone, but it was still showing tremendous power.
It’s not called a mid-level explorer shredder for nothing.
Jeong Yu-shin jumped up again.
I was at least planning to cut off its wrist.
At that moment.
The ogre suddenly held out the female mage it was holding.
Jeong Yu-shin’s eyes widened and then subsided in an instant.
What the.
It’s absurd.
Sheathing my sword for an explorer I’ve never met?
‘I’m not that warm of a person.’
I swung the greatsword at the female mage.
The female mage’s half-closed eyes widened.
The greatsword being swung down at a rapid speed.
Slash!!!
Whether by coincidence or intention, the greatsword only cut off the ogre’s thumb and didn’t touch the mage at all.
“Kkeu-wo-eo-eo-eo-eok!!!”
Along with the ogre’s scream, the female mage’s body fell to the floor.
Then she was embraced tightly in strong arms.
The female mage opened her eyes wide and looked at the man who had just swung his greatsword at her.
“Eua…?”
Am I alive?
I can’t believe it. I was sure I would be cut along with the ogre’s hand.
Just as a wave of emotion was about to wash over her.
Jeong Yu-shin threw the female mage who was looking at him away.
“Eh…?”
The mage flying through the air.
She was embraced tightly in another person’s arms again.
A wolf beastwoman with red hair fluttering in the wind was holding her.
The mage tried to open her mouth, but the wolf beastwoman silently placed her next to the golden coffin and ran back.
“What… what is it?”
The female mage, lying next to the golden coffin, mumbled in a dazed voice.
“Kkeueu-aaaaaaaak!!!”
The ogre, with its thumb severed, screamed and slammed down its club.
Thwack!!!
Thwack!!!
The power was enough to shake the ground.
Jeong Yu-shin ran to avoid the club without a moment to catch his breath.
His body was moving non-stop, but his eyes were deeply sunken.
The eyes of the fallen explorers were fixed on Jeong Yu-shin.
I can’t turn my gaze away.
Movements like that of a beast. It didn’t look like a human. It looked like a nimble wild animal.
Anyone could tell. The victory was already leaning towards that party.
‘Just a little more!’
Everyone cheered for the party with one heart and one mind. Because that’s how they could survive.
At that moment.
“Gu-wo-eo-eo-eo!!!”
The ogre suddenly turned its back and headed for the cave entrance.
It knelt down and put its body into the cave passage.
“Shit!!!”
Jeong Yu-shin cursed and immediately followed.
I couldn’t even imagine that the ogre bastard would run away.
Kennes and Armin are still inside the cave.
“Heuaaaaaa!!!”
“Armin!!!”
Immediately, Armin’s scream and Kennes’ shout were heard from the other side of the cave.
Jeong Yu-shin ran quickly, but the ogre desperately broke through the passage with its huge body.
Nimble movements despite the injured body.
Jeong Yu-shin gritted his teeth and caught up with the ogre.
Thud!!! Thud!!! Boom!!!
The cave walls shook and pieces of rock fell from the ceiling.
When I barely broke through the passage and reached the cave entrance, I found Kennes.
Kennes was lying on the floor with his limbs twisted grotesquely.
“S…ka, qui…ck. Armin.”
Kennes barely said, spitting out the blood gurgling in his mouth.
Jeong Yu-shin stood at the cave entrance and looked at the ogre.
The ogre was moving freely even under the ‘abomination.’
Because it was already injured, it couldn’t go far.
Armin was barely clinging to the back of the ogre’s neck.
Can I really fight that guy without looking at the sky?
“Ska! Don’t go!”
Karin, who had come up, grabbed Jeong Yu-shin’s shoulder tightly.
“Karin, take care of Kennes here.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Karin shouted rarely.
“It’s the leader’s order. Karin, protect Kennes.”
“Keuek!!!”
Karin glared at Jeong Yu-shin with a resentful expression.
Jeong Yu-shin ran out of the cave.
I felt a ‘gaze’ from above.
While running towards the ogre.
Creak.
Crackle.
My head throbbed and hallucinations and illusions came again.
The memories of the past where I almost died rose up like bubbles one by one on the dark plateau and were replayed like videos.
‘It’s a bumper year for bullshit.’
Jeong Yu-shin gritted his teeth, crossed all the memories, and caught up with the ogre.
“Armin!!!”
“…”
There’s no answer.
In the end, I raised my head. Armin barely clinging on.
And also part of the ‘abomination’ that can be seen beyond the ogre’s head.
Immediately, a strong shock stirred through my brain.
Jeong Yu-shin’s figure faltered for a moment.
A bizarre movement that cannot be expressed in words. As a price for seeing something I shouldn’t have seen, tears of blood flowed from my eyes.
The ogre turned its back and looked down at Jeong Yu-shin.
A gap.
Immediately, it swung its club.
Paaaaaaaah!!!
Jeong Yu-shin, who was hit by the club, rolled across the plateau like trash. He rolled among the rocks and stones that stuck out here and there and barely stopped.
“Keoheo-eo-eok!!!”
As I wriggled my body and opened my mouth, blood gushed out.
“Ska!!!”
Karin broke out of the cave and ran like crazy.
With only one purpose.
To save Ska.
But.
The ogre was one step faster.
It ran pounding and picked up Jeong Yu-shin and threw him towards Karin.
Karin reflexively caught Jeong Yu-shin flying towards her with her body.
Karin and Jeong Yu-shin rolled on the floor as one.
“Keoheo-eok!!!”
Whether a rib was broken and pierced her lung, blood flowed from Karin’s mouth and flowed into Jeong Yu-shin’s helmet.
However, Karin struggled to get up again, burning her eyes. Because she had already seen part of the abomination, blood was flowing from her eyes.
The ogre smiled and approached.
It raised its huge club high.
“Ah.”
Karin quickly hugged Jeong Yu-shin and lowered her body. At least she wanted to die before Ska.
Whooooooooosh!!!!!
The moment the club was about to be slammed down on the two, Karin closed her eyes tightly.
‘I’m sorry. If only I was a little stronger.’
All sorts of regrets swept through her mind.
Moment.
Jeong Yu-shin wriggled and raised his hand.
“…”
It was quiet.
‘It’s strange.’
Karin, who was waiting for death, opened her eyes wide and raised her head.
The ogre in front of her was trembling with its club raised. As if blocked by an invisible barrier.
Jeong Yu-shin gently pushed Karin away and got up from his seat.
“Ska…?”
Karin mumbled, blankly staring at Jeong Yu-shin.
Jeong Yu-shin took off the broken helmet and put it on Karin’s head.
“Ka…rin, you. don’t listen. at all. When we get back, it’s butt spanking.”
“S…ka.”
“Don’t look at the sky. Close your eyes.”
“…”
“I’ll close them too.”
Jeong Yu-shin closed his eyes and lowered his hand.
I barely blocked it by using the telekinesis engraving.
Because of the backlash from using an unfamiliar ability, blood gushed from my nose and ears.
Brushing back the hair, not knowing whose blood it was soaked in, I slung the broken greatsword over my shoulder.
The only way to overcome the laws of the mountainous area.
Closing your eyes.
Actually, this is all I can think of.
I can’t think of any other way.
The ogre, who had quickly retreated, tilted its head and charged again.
Jeong Yu-shin also ran after it.
Towards the sound.
Thud!!! Thud!!! Thud!!!
The sound of the ogre’s footsteps.
The tearing sound cutting through the air as it came down.
Jeong Yu-shin stepped and dodged the club, swinging the greatsword.
Slash!!!
What did I cut?
I don’t know.
“Kkeueo-eo-eo-eok!!!”
But I was satisfied when I heard the ogre’s scream.
Thwack!!!
Thwack!!!
The ogre slammed down its club like crazy. But Jeong Yu-shin avoided each one and swung his greatsword, cutting away at the ogre’s flesh.
While blood, screams, and hallucinations were mixed together, scraping away at my mind.
I felt a strange flow.
It was similar to the flow I felt when fighting the outer god’s minions in the sewer.
Should I say that I can predict where the opponent’s attack will come from?
The flow of air cut by the weapon.
The ogre’s painful breathing.
The senses sharpened in an extreme situation became prescience and moved Jeong Yu-shin.
It was as if I had become Gung Ye, seeing everything clearly even with my eyes closed.
Some of the explorers who had finished treatment were sitting at the cave entrance and watching Jeong Yu-shin’s fight.
Because there were not enough recovery potions, only the relatively unharmed people barely crawled out.
Someone mumbled.
“Is… is that even possible for a human?”
“How can he… under the sky where the abomination is floating…?”
Someone raised their hand and pointed.
“Look at that!!!”
“Could it be that he’s closing his eyes?!”
“Crazy…!!!”
The ogre swung its club while going half-mad. Not only that, but it tried to grab Jeong Yu-shin with its remaining hand.
But.
It couldn’t catch up with Jeong Yu-shin’s movements with his eyes closed.
Truly godly movements.
Footsteps that are impossible unless you’re a crazy person.
The ogre slammed down its club.
Thwack!!!
The huge club dug into the ground and got stuck.
Now.
Jeong Yu-shin ran up along the club.
The ogre was greatly surprised and swung its other arm.
Jeong Yu-shin jumped off the club and flew high into the sky.
[Sacred Weapon]
I grabbed the golden Zweihander with one hand and fell from the sky.
The ogre reflexively raised one hand. It believed in its tough skin and made another mistake.
When the Zweihander dug into the ogre’s hand, the ogre’s movement stopped.
A chance.
Jeong Yu-shin climbed onto the ogre’s shoulder and raised the broken greatsword.
I don’t know if it’s because of the blood or the fever, but the greatsword was too hot.
Moreover, this greatsword started to suck in magic power like crazy.
I wanted to swing it right away and chop off the ogre’s neck, but I had to rescue Armin first.
“Armin!!!”
Jeong Yu-shin shouted.
“Eueo-eo.”
Armin’s voice was heard not far away.
“Pull yourself together!!!”
“Heueuk. Sa, save me…!”
This bastard. He can’t come to his senses.
Jeong Yu-shin opened his mouth again.
“Armin, Eru is a man.”
“Yes?”
As if he had come to his senses, his voice became clear.
Jeong Yu-shin was speechless and paused for a moment.
“Eru is a man. You bastard.”
“Wh, where is this…? Ah, no! That can’t be!!!”
Armin’s voice trembled.
“Check it out later. First, we have to live, so jump towards me.”
“Ri, right now, from here?”
Armin was barely clinging to the ogre’s nape.
“Just close your eyes and jump. There’s no time.”
“Isn’t it Ska who’s closing his eyes, hyung-nim?!”
“Jump quickly, you bastard!!!”
Jeong Yu-shin shouted angrily.
Standing on the ogre’s shoulder and wasting time like gold was making me feel like I was going to die.
“Al, I understand!”
The sound of Armin flying was heard.
Jeong Yu-shin grabbed Armin and immediately carried him on his back.
“Keep your eyes closed.”
“Eue… I understand! But hyung-nim, the sword is burning!”
No wonder it was so hot, was it a magic sword?
“It’s because I’m in a bad mood. And please close your eyes, Armin.”
“I understand!”
Jeong Yu-shin stood on the ogre’s shoulder, took a stance, and twisted his waist.
I’ll cut it in one go.
Imbuing the Half Ogre Gauntlet trait on both hands.
I poured the remaining telekinesis into the black iron greatsword.
“Heup!!!”
I swung the greatsword.
The blazing greatsword burned and tore the ogre’s neck skin, crushed the neck bones.
It’s still not enough.
Jeong Yu-shin gritted his teeth and poured magic power into the broken greatsword.
The red heat of the greatsword stretched out for a moment, tearing through the ogre’s cervical spine, burning the spinal cord, and severing the neck completely.
The ogre’s head flew into the sky.
Whoooooosh!!!!!
A fountain of hot blood gushed out from the cut surface of the ogre’s neck, soaking Jeong Yu-shin and Armin.
The ogre, who had lost its neck, slowly collapsed.
Jeong Yu-shin timed it and stepped down to the ground.
Thud!!!
As the huge ogre’s body fell to the ground, Jeong Yu-shin’s body swayed for a moment.
I feel like I’m going to die.
But I can’t rest.
“Karin!!!”
“He…re.”
A voice that seemed to be fading away was heard from the front.
Jeong Yu-shin ran towards the voice and groped the ground to hug Karin.
“Come this way!!!”
The explorers shouted.
Jeong Yu-shin took the two people and entered the cave.
I opened my eyes.
My vision was still distorted and I heard bizarre hallucinations, but I ignored them.
First, Karin.
[Eternal Ark]
My head throbbed because of the excessive magic power consumption.
I barely summoned the golden coffin, took out a healing potion, sprinkled a little on Karin’s body, and fed it to her.
I put down Armin, who was on my back, and examined him.
He looked fine except for his pale face.
Next is.
“We’ll help you next.”
Two explorers approached.
Jeong Yu-shin took out a large amount of recovery potions and ointments from the golden coffin.
“Heal this elf first, and then take care of the explorers inside. If you eat and run… you know?”
One of the explorers shook his head.
“That will never happen.”
“I’m watching.”
Jeong Yu-shin glared at the explorers and closed his eyes.
The explorers clicked their tongues as they looked at Jeong Yu-shin sitting with his eyes closed.
“Is… is what we saw real?”
“It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. First, heal the elf and then take care of the others. Quickly!”
“I understand.”
The entrance to the shelter before the 18th floor.
The explorers started moving diligently.
