Having confronted many ogres, I used to be well-versed in killing them. I would developed a kind of combo or routine. Putting horizontally to shatter their knees, then smashing their fallen heads – a slaughter methodology too crude to name a combo.

However this one, in its frenzied state, stood a minimum of 10m tall – twice the scale of an underdeveloped specimen from the skin world.

So its knees had been above my head. I could not use the identical method.

If dimension was the problem, I’d simply must grind it down extra meticulously. My warhammer, full of the stress of repeated knockbacks, crashed down on its instep quite than its shin.

Crack!

“Grooaaaargh!”

My full-force strike did not simply crush its instep – it obliterated it.

We’d have been evenly matched in energy, however our sturdiness wasn’t even comparable. My mana-infused weapon, unblemished for 11 years, far outclassed mere monster bone and flesh.

Nonetheless, one strike wasn’t sufficient. Two, 3 times. Because it howled in ache and tried to squash me with its palm, it made one other mistake.

It ought to have pushed me away like earlier than.

With its instep shattered and knee buckled, it bent on the waist to crush me. Irrespective of how large, its head stored reducing.

“Wow, that is brutal. Since it is so large, you are simply systematically demolishing it from the underside up like felling a tree. You’ll be able to actually inform you’ve killed tons of ogres.”

What sort of fool chops down timber by hammering them? LMAO.

-David, you dumbass, neglect the sling. If you happen to’d simply crushed Goliath’s legs, you’d have received. Dangerous physique, unhealthy mind, proper?

-How is that this lack of assault energy? LOL. You are snapping leg bones with out even drawing the holy sword.

-The massive big’s gonna use a shrinking spell~

-Right now’s life hack: In case your opponent is freaking large, simply methodically shatter their joints one after the other.

Its HP appeared almost depleted. After only a bit extra pounding, it crumbled to a mana stone whereas nonetheless kneeling. As I caught my breath, nonetheless seething, each viewers and the few surviving mercenaries gawked at me in awe.

The goblins that had maintained their ranks earlier than collapsing like bowling pins had lengthy since been harvested into mana stones, half-buried within the floor. The centaurs had been sliced up by Katie’s swordsmanship ages in the past.

As I approached the three who barely survived the chaos, they snapped out of their daze and prolonged their arms as if for a handshake. Given they survived that mayhem, they will need to have been pretty expert. They’d already healed up properly.

“Thanks, thanks a lot!”

“Whew, we actually nearly died…”

“We should always begin heading again quickly, contemplating our remaining meals.”

“Our stock allow us to come this far on our personal, however going additional could be pushing it…”

“Yeah, that is proper. To remain longer, we would want a provide contract just like the mercenary corps.”

So we sat in a circle on the golden grass of the secure zone, chatting and expressing our regrets, however there was no serving to it.

I would been sleeping for days now with my eyes coated by a sleeping bag contained in the tent, because of the plains’ vivid daylight. All these days with out encountering a single ogre, simply countless “goken-ken-go-go-go-go-ken-ken-ken”. It was virtually ingrained in my head by now. These sadistic viewers had been even counting and mocking it.

They made all types of bizarre jokes about Mr. Nakamura Goken[1] coming to see the worldwide streamer, putting bets on whether or not it would be goblins or centaurs subsequent, dismissing Han Se-ah’s cries in regards to the ogre chance as nonsense – which turned out to be true nonsense since we did not encounter a single one…

We held out within the plains till our meals ran out, so it was about time to go away. After spending a day within the secure zone we stumbled upon, we would must make our means again tomorrow utilizing Han Se-ah’s minimap and Grace’s senses.

Pondering this, I coated my eyes with the thick blindfold purchased from the Adventurers’ Guild and compelled myself to sleep.

“…Roland? Roland!”

“Hm? What’s it?”

Grace, who was on watch obligation since even secure zones could not forestall different adventurers from turning into bandits, urgently woke me. I assumed it may be my watch shift already, however her voice sounded too frantic. Was a bunch of adventurers approaching en masse?

I emerged from my tightly wrapped sleeping bag like a butterfly from its chrysalis, struggling to sleep in vivid locations. Taking off my blindfold, I noticed Grace’s truthful face flushed with confusion.

“Katie! Hanna! Irene, get up!”

Grace frantically woke the others, Han Se-ah logged in clueless in regards to the state of affairs, and dozens of individuals murmured within the background.

“Hey, who’re you individuals!?”

“We’re mercenaries underneath the command of Border Depend Baden of the Empire! Who’re you?”

“We’re researchers from the Magic Tower. Please decrease your weapons.”

Mages, mercenaries, adventurers, knights and troopers. Waking as much as sudden chaos, I understood why Han Se-ah who simply logged in could not grasp the state of affairs.

I could not both, f*ck.
