Monsters utilizing abilities was a standard incidence.

After all, that was in Heroines Chronicle, not Heroes Chronicle.

Even enemy monsters have been handled as a kind of card, so goblins would use abilities like stone throwing or poison sting assaults. However that was in Heroines Chronicle, the gacha sport for degenerates, not the digital actuality Heroes Chronicle.

“Wh-what? What’s with this bastard!”

“Chains! Extra chains and stakes, deliver a ballista!!!”

The ogre’s physique was ensnared in iron nets, its legs certain in chains like Gulliver within the land of Lilliputians, and its face drenched in some concoction.

As its accidents step by step elevated from the harassing elite mercenaries, the ogre’s total physique glowed pink, seemingly irritated past measure.

Reddening pores and skin, rising steam, pulsating veins, and a massively enlarged physique able to tearing via nets and chains. Its look immediately evoked the phrase “berserk” – an all too acquainted impact in Heroines Chronicle.

“What the hell is that?”

“The ogre… it grew?”

However for our occasion and the imperial mercenaries, this was an unheard-of phenomenon. They in all probability by no means imagined a seemingly bizarre ogre would flip blood-red and rip via magically bolstered restraints.

Metallic fragments flew into the air together with clumps of dust, and a mercenary who had been persistently focusing on the ogre’s wrists disappeared past the plains, struck by a backhand swing.

Judging by how he flew, his bones have been doubtless shattered or his inner organs ruptured – no likelihood of survival.

Irene sharply inhaled on the ugly sight, and out of the blue the ogre’s glistening eyes turned in our course.

…Had they applied random aggro in berserk state too?

“Wh-what? St-stop it, you bastards!”

“How the hell are we purported to cease that! You there, get out of the way in which!”

Nonetheless, they appeared kindhearted sufficient to fret about us, shouting in panic. Seeing their response, I figured we would not battle over the mana stone even when we handled it ourselves, so I stepped ahead with my protect raised.

It was a high-rank monster in berserk state, so I hung my warhammer at my waist and lowered my stance, gripping the protect with each arms.

Regardless of how sturdy my physique was, the delicate plains soil may not stand up to the influence, so I wanted to decrease my stance as a lot as potential. Just like the cliff dive earlier than, I’d find yourself flying distant whereas remaining completely nice.

‘Cannot I study a talent like Thousand Pound Drive from wuxia novels as an alternative of swordsmanship…?’

Mana enveloped my total physique, protect gripped tightly as if welded. The ugly ogre charged with drool flying, its thick leg prolonged again like kicking a soccer ball, then lunging in the direction of me.

I assumed it was massive after they have been mounting it on the carriage, however each the ballista and its bolt will need to have been Magic Tower merchandise, as they cleanly blew off the ogre’s head in a single shot.

At that time, it was clear they have been no bizarre mercenary group.

In any case, the captain being 5★ meant they have been just like or on par with Rebecca’s mercenaries.

“Hahaha, who knew the Tower could be this harmful? Because of you, we have discovered a invaluable lesson.”

“Since when does our captain discuss like that?”

“Shut up, we’re in entrance of the shopper.”

If we had handled the ogre, we’d have swallowed the mana stone complete and even charged for our lives. But it surely was the mercenaries’ particular ballista that truly blew off the ogre’s head.

If both aspect had openly stepped ahead, a battle may have damaged out. However we had a kind-hearted saint candidate on our aspect, and so they had a mercenary captain well-versed in politics, not simply combating. Because of that, we have been in a position to study one another’s identities via an ungainly dialog.

The opposite occasion, befitting their innate 5★ rank, was a mercenary group that specialised in looking massive monsters alongside the imperial military on the Empire’s northern frontier. A mercenary group below imperial command, led by 4 5★ members – the innate 5★ captain and three swordsmen who began as 4★ and rose to five★.

“Why is Roland performing like that? I do not actually know. However with 4 5★s below imperial command, should not we be capable of work one thing out? It is a bonus connection to the Empire, proper?”

-Han Se-ah you thick-skulled b*tch, networking is a part of the job… Simply take a look at how your instructor seduced Ellis

-She’s only a porter, for actual lol. She would not even attempt to use her mind

-With connections in all instructions and even ties to the Aristocracy, he may in all probability win over imperial mercenaries too lol

-The charismatic instructor who seduces mercenaries with cash

-I guess my Heroes Chronicle account that Roland x Mercenary smut will probably be made inside this week. Do not make that sh*t, you f*ckers.

Anyway, whereas Han Se-ah failed to know why I used to be performing this fashion, the viewers appeared to have caught on. Nicely, with 120,000 individuals watching the ogre battle in actual time, even when just one% figured it out, that was nonetheless within the 1000’s.

The opposite occasion wasn’t simply an bizarre mercenary group, however a famend one with connections to the imperial military, accountable for monster waves on the entrance strains. It was helpful to determine a connection by sharing a little bit of the consumables value, not even handing over the complete ogre mana stone.

“Now then, injured personnel this fashion please.”

“Th-thank you…”

We gained by probably making a connection to the Empire, which could turn into the backdrop for a aspect quest, and the mercenary group benefited by having their injured members handled by a saint candidate after the ogre’s rampage. Plus, establishing a reference to the hero’s occasion will need to have been a giant benefit for the mercenaries.

In any case, the kind-hearted Irene wished to assist the critically wounded who have been bleeding profusely from impacts with dust clumps and chain fragments.

The bandit-faced mercenary captain, who did not seem like he’d ever use his mind, craftily rolled his eyes. He wasn’t attempting to benefit from us, however earnestly contemplating the crumbs which may fall his method from establishing a reference to the hero’s occasion.

Nicely, Han Se-ah ought to get used to this sort of factor quickly. Is not politics inseparable from the hero in these hero-demon king tales? She wanted to smart as much as resolve my backstory too.

…Was it even potential with Han Se-ah’s gaming intelligence?

It was a day that out of the blue jogged my memory of Han Se-ah’s streaming historical past I would seen earlier than.
