I heard a beeping tinnitus ring in my ears. The vibrating tinnitus progressively diminished over time.

Eri, along with her palms pressed in opposition to her ears, lifted her head.

“…ah?”

She gasped on the unbelievable spectacle that unfolded earlier than her eyes.

Lisbeth, who normally seemed down upon her with Lorraine.

She was crushed to such an extent that it was unattainable to acknowledge her from her unique kind, no matter remained of her did not even seemed human.

Marietta did not harass Eri immediately, however she did not assist both.

She was mendacity on the bottom along with her face squashed, solely her minor respiratory indicated that she was nonetheless alive.

Halberd, who all the time checked out Eri with a sinister look on his face from a far nook.

He was mendacity in entrance of a rock along with his again unusually bended.

Lorraine had fainted, leaning in opposition to a tree, and Lorian was additionally mendacity on the bottom. Nevertheless, in his case, in contrast to the others, the bottom round him was dented as a result of he had acquired fairly a steady variety of smashes.

“W, What is that this…”

It was miles completely different from Eri’s final reminiscence. The ogre’s abdomen inflated like a balloon, and out of the blue an awesome roar rang out. After that, she misplaced her thoughts in chaos, solely now did she raised her head once more.

‘Does this even is sensible..?!’

Eri does hates Lorian and his get together members.

How can they maintain brazenly ostracizing and ignoring her?

Nevertheless, aside from that, their skills had been absolutely acknowledged by her.

Evaluating Cloud’s unique get together with Lorian’s get together, she thinks it is the distinction between heaven and earth.

How was such a strong get together worn out in such a short while? It was not even the Demon Lord’s Military, however solely a random monster they encountered.

It was one thing she could not fairly consider, even when it was clearly offered in entrance of her.

She, nonetheless, had one thing she was incorrect about, too.

Ogres are usually not like unusual monsters which can be unfold out all through the continent.

They’re the next stage monster like dragons.

If an ogre so wishes, he alone can spoil a metropolis.

To not point out, Lorian and his get together members had been at a decrease stage than the ogre.

It was common for the get together to be worn out within the meantime. Moderately, it was stunning that that they had pushed the ogre upto this diploma.

‘Now this has occurred, so what ought to I do…’

“Look down.”

Cloud positioned his hand on Eri’s head and compelled her to bow down.

Whoops!

A powerful wind blew previous her again.

Eri seemed behind her.

A highway was made—

The overcrowded bushes had been swept away by the membership, and the identical was true for the remaining sorcerer and sorceress.

They had been knocked out by a trunk like membership that had been thrown out like a stick.

‘The membership flew proper above me.’

If it wasn’t for Cloud, Eri would have been in similar state as them.

As she imagined the scene, a bone chilling sensation ran upto her backbone.

She may have simply died.

Leaving nothing behind.

Worry of loss of life started to eat her coronary heart. At first, her legs started to tremble, after which even her entire physique.

“Get up.”

Cloud slapped Eri on the again.

There wasn’t even the slightest mercy within the power, and it introduced again her thoughts.

Eri’s coronary heart nonetheless felt the throbbing feeling. She turned her head to Cloud.

“Cloud, escape…”

Eri, who was about to inform him to run away, stopped.

In contrast to Eri, he was not drenched in worry. He was trying down on the Ogre with an detached expression on his face.

It wasn’t the Cloud that Eri knew.

Cloud lifted his hand from Eri’s head whereas she felt trepidation from his indifference. He stretched out his hand to his waist and drew out his sword.

Sureung-!

The silver sword got here out with a fricative pitch.

Eri, who was dazed on the sight of Cloud she had seen for the primary time, got here again to her senses dealing with the sword shining brilliantly within the daylight.

“Cloud, what are you doing?! Do you wish to struggle? No! You’ll die!! You noticed it too! T, That, with Lorain and his get together! What are you going to do in such a state of affairs?!”

Eri tried to catch him by hand, making an attempt to cease from doing one thing on impulse. However her palms solely caught the empty air. He was already working in the direction of the ogre.

“Gegege!”

The ogre was cackling on the poor human.

Except it was that unusual black fuel or that human lady blowing her sword, any human was nothing greater than its toy.

At the least the ogre thought so.

The ogre clasped his fingers collectively and slammed it down within the course of Cloud.

Thud!

The punch hit the bottom, making a uninteresting sound.

Mud rose.

“Cloud!”

“Nooo!!”

The voices of Frillite and Eri adopted.

“Gegege!”

Together with the sound of a cackling ogre.

Ignoring all of them, Cloud proceeded by way of the mud. The ogre’s fist did not even contact him. Simply earlier than it reached him, his footsteps knew tips on how to get out of there.

The place Cloud reached by way of the mud was in entrance of the ogre’s heel tendon.

There’s such a saying among the many sayings which have been handed down from time immemorial.

Ogre tendons are more durable than many of the uncommon metals.

And it was true. An ogre, with its powerful leather-based pores and skin can repel all types of spear and swords, which can even deform when clanked in opposition to an ogre’s tendons.

Sufficient to face up to the swordsmanship of not solely unusual swordsmen, but additionally sturdy knights.

A sword grasp of an period must be current to have the ability to lower an ogre’s tendon with a sword.

And Cloud was such an entire sword grasp.

Cloud drew out his sword with power.

A pure black power with out a single impurity confronted the ogre’s tendon.

Splat-!

The tendons current within the ogre’s heels cut up gently with none resistance.

“Grrh, hgh?!”

The ogre seen the strangeness solely a second later, nevertheless it was already too late for him. His heart of gravity was tilted to the aspect.

“Frillite!”

Cloud known as her to carry the top transfer. He himself was succesful sufficient to complete the ogre, however he did not wish to take any probabilities.

Thud!

Sweesh-!

The second the ogre fell.

A sword aura manufactured from numerous concentrated sword swipes centered on the nice sword piercing the ogre’s neck. It was one of many secrets and techniques methods of the Perdiac Ducal household.

The ogre groaned on the bottom.

However as greater than one-third of its neck was seperated, there was no probability that it may survive.

Earlier than lengthy, the meaningless fuss was over.

Cloud reached out to the lifeless ogre’s corpse. He may really feel the soul of the ogre left behind, which had been slashed for expertise factors. Maybe it was as a result of he was a high-ranking monster, and despite the fact that he had been slashed, he nonetheless had a powerful soul left behind.

‘Come right here.’

Cloud’s level measurement glyph spreaded evenly and wrapped round his arm.The glyph wrapped round his arms started to soak up the ogre’s soul.

The ogre’s soul struggled in opposition to him.

Nevertheless, because it was a soul that had already been minimized as soon as, and the proprietor of the glyph was Cloud, resistance was meaningless.

Quickly, the soul of the ogre was absorbed into the glyph.

He felt a burning sensation on his higher left torso, as if molten iron was poured inside his physique.

‘Is that this the method of enlivening a glyph? Fairly fascinating.’

Cloud quietly waited for the glyph to be accomplished. When the glyph was accomplished, he may instinctively perceive the impact and expertise of the glyph.
