Chapter 103 – Blond Nun and Promotion Battle #6

As I entered the depths of the shaft, I couldn’t help but be possessed by a strange thought. What if the orcs hiding in the abandoned mines had already been killed by the kobolds? So how is this quest going?

“Good.”

If so, it was perfect. I can eat the quests raw without having to deal with the orcs. I prayed in my heart that those little tunnel jammins had killed the orcs.
It seemed to be the same for Kate next to me.

“Please Lord Baldur! May all the orcs die!!”

After all, did he have a knack for eating quests raw? Kate knew what was best for us, even without me telling her. It was when I was looking at Kate with a pleased expression.

“Wait a minute. I can hear the fighting in the distance.”

Allie, who had been pricking her ears, opened her mouth.

“A fight sound?”
“The cries of the kobolds! They are howling ferociously.”

I listened to Allie and listened to the front. As she said, the cries of the kobolds echoed in the depths of the tunnel. Is there even a fight going on here?

“We need to check. Everyone please walk quietly.”

After my instructions fell off.
We walked towards the depths of the tunnel in silence. Soon, my eyes saw the end of the aisle that was leading in a straight line.
According to the map of the abandoned mine, there was a large mining field in front of it.
A place where miners mined ore in the days when the mine was in operation.

“Arrived.”

The moment I left the passage, what I saw was a terrifying number of kobolds. In the quarry where thick rocks rose here and there, the kobolds were attacking something fiercely.

“Cover the lantern light. I think you’d better hide behind a rock and watch the situation.”

We covered the light of the lantern with a thick cloth or something. The kobolds are distracted by the target they attack and don’t notice us. In the meantime, I was able to lead my party members and hide behind a large rock in the mine.

‘Oak!’

As I poked my head out of the rock, I realized what was buried among the kobolds. It was the orcs with prominent pig heads. Recognizing their identity was easy, as they held torches in their hands.

The harsh voices of the orcs echoed through the mine.

“Brother Bolen-! There is no end to these kobold puppies!”
“I think I’m going to die at this rate! I can’t even see the youngest!”
“Shut up and beat the kobolds to death, bastards!!”
“Ah, I see, brother-!”

The orcs were beating the kobolds as they wielded their weapons. The total number is four. Including the dead bodies at the entrance of the abandoned mine, there were a total of five orcs. I intuitively realized that they were the orcs who committed murder in Kuntilla Village.
Ally, who was watching the situation equally, opened her mouth in a small voice.

“Uh, what should we do? Shall we attack right now? Orcs who are besieged by kobolds.”
“Please wait. I don’t think it’s time to step out yet. If we don’t, the kobolds might attack us.”

As long as they succeeded in discovering the Orcs first, there was no reason to rush into action. Once they made friends with the kobolds, that was the end, and there was nothing wrong with us even if we barely survived. All I had to do was ambush the dying orcs.

“Let’s wait. At least until the number of kobolds decreases.”
“Yes!”

He thought that if he waited, the orcs would die on their own. But as time passed, I realized that things weren’t going so easily. Because the four orcs were mixed with exceptionally strong individuals.

A being called big brother by other orcs.
An orc named Bolen had red tattoos on his muscular body.
Bolen swept away the kobolds like fallen leaves with the great glaive he held in his hand. Every time the blade was swung, two or three kobolds were crushed!

‘Strength is a master. If he had been attached intact, he might have had a hard time.’

An orc with red tattoos all over his body!
Within the orc tribe, I was told that tattoos could only be worn by a special class of orcs.
The red tattoo meant that he was an orc of the warrior class.
Fighting alone is a skillful bastard.

‘Please, kobolds! Just get that tattoo-worm orc bastard!”

I prayed in my heart for the Orc Warrior to fall. For now, the evil kobolds were on my side. Isn’t there a saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend?
The number of kobolds in the mine gradually decreased. At the same time, the number of scars engraved on the bodies of the orcs increased. An orc wielding a club eventually died.

However, the moment their kin died, the Orc Warriors began to display incredible strength.

“Aaaaa!!”

His muscles swelled up and his speed of swinging the glaive increased. In terms of monsters, did the phenomenon of berserk happen? The kobolds were cut down in the blink of an eye by the Orc Warriors.
In the end, the winners of the fierce battle were the Orcs.

Haha.”

The Orc Warrior exploded his orc over the heap of kobold corpses. The two surviving Orcs were staring at the Orc Warrior with a tired expression. No matter what happened to their relationship, our chance finally came.
This is your chance to knock out the exhausted Orcs!

“I’ll take a shot before we go in. You’d better deal with that tattoo-cheeked orc first. Give me a signal and attack him.”

Of the four party members, I was the only one who could perform a surprise attack from a distance. A brute can throw a spear, but when he does, he loses his only weapon. We moved silently between the rocks. Fortunately, the orcs didn’t seem to notice us as we approached.

“After.”

I hid myself behind a suitable rock.
Spreading the water whip long, he checked the movements of the orcs over the rocks.
The red tattooed orc turned his back on me.
The angle of view is not the position where you can see me.

‘Can you do it?’

I asked myself with the water whip in my hand.
Because I had to
I had to prove my magic skills.
He had to defeat the Orcs and rise to the Silver Tier.

Failure is unacceptable.
He made suggestions to himself until his hands stopped shaking.
What came to my mind at this moment was my precious lover.

‘Rebecca.’

A talisman made for me by Rebecca.
He could clearly feel the texture of the amulet of hair in the inside pocket of his shirt. At the same time, a strong will welled up in my heart. The will to survive somehow and return to her side.

I held a whip of boiling water and looked at the Orc Warrior. What I am aiming for is the broad back of an Orc Warrior. If it was a water whip that could change the trajectory, it was unmistakable. He glared at the middle of the Orc Warrior’s back, catching his breath.

“Suck—!”

The moment I stopped breathing, I kicked off the ground and ran out of the rock. I put all my strength on both shoulders and swung the water whip.

The Orc Warrior turned his head at the resounding sound of the whip. At the same time, he twisted his body and reflexively tried to evade. But I was one step faster than he was moving.

“Liquid-.”

The winding water whip crashed into the Orc Warrior. Green flesh burst open and blood splattered in all directions.
An Orc Warrior who twisted his body and was hit right on the shoulder!
A huge scream came out, enough to make the quarry reverberate.

“Kuaaaaah

The surprise attack was successful!
The Orc Warrior knelt with his left shoulder blade wrapped around him. The terrible pain kept him unconscious for a while. But he wasn’t immediately able to chain a follow-up to him. The two surviving orcs immediately charged at me.

“A raider!”
“Get rid of the wizard first!”

Orcs rushed at me, defenselessly exposed. But before they even reached me, the orcs had no choice but to stop. Because the party members who were waiting in the back rushed out at once.

“That’s a great whip.”
“Wizard Help!”

Ally and Brute each marked one orc. The exhausted orcs seemed to be at a loss even with the small halfling’s sword strikes. I succeeded in retrieving the water whip while singing for joy inside. In order to deliver another great blow to the Orc Warriors.

“Dreamer-! I’ll kill you!!”

The Orc Warrior who had been beaten by the whip roared and stood up. However, unlike the momentum that pierced the sky, one of his arms was drooping. Because his shoulder is smashed, he won’t be able to move his arm. The Orc Warrior glared at me with eyes full of hatred.

“Kill it, pig-headed bastard! I’ll put your head on the ancestral table.”
“——–!!”

At that moment, the Orc Warrior started running towards me in a straight line. After pushing back the orc he was dealing with, the Brute charged at the orc warrior. With a lizardman’s physique, he should be able to bite and stretch!

But the unbelievable unfolded before me.

Thud-!!
The Brute was pushed back by the glaive wielded by the Orc Warrior!
The 2m tall lizardman was pushed out of his power.
The Orc Warrior did not even pay attention to the staggering Brute. He kicked off the ground again and started running.

“It’s a monster, this tattooed orc!”

You pushed the Lizardman away with one hand?!
Orc, but he knows how to handle mana!
I swung a water whip with all my might at the Orc Warrior who had narrowed the distance before I knew it. However, the Orc Warrior did not avoid the whip even after seeing it with his own eyes. As he received the whip with his entire body, he raised the glaive’s blade forward.

‘Are you going to die together?! You bastard like a suicide bomber!’

The orc warrior’s belly burst open and his bones were exposed. The Orc Warrior rushing forward with his spear erected was his death-ready gaze. The tenacity flowed from him that he could never die alone.

“Keugh.”

I groaned and stepped back. However, the speed of the Orc Warrior rushing like a wild boar was beyond imagination.

At this rate, the glaive will pierce you!
Dreamy skewers are born!
It was the moment when the blade of the glaive stabbed me like lightning.

“Monma-sama-!!”

Just then, a lantern flew from behind and crashed into the Orc Warrior’s forehead. Oil splattered everywhere and the pig’s head blazed. The angle of the spear fired by the Orc Warrior was twisted. I rolled on the floor and narrowly avoided the glaive.

“Now-!! Please put an end to it!!”

Kate shouted as her arms were outstretched.
She threw the lantern and hit the Orc Warrior!
The angle at which the lantern drew a curve was unusual.
It was the same skill as throwing holy water bottles in an underground water canal.

The Orc Warrior passed me and crashed into a rock in the mine. The glaive that was aiming for me had dug into the rock like tofu. With his head wrapped in blazing fire, the Orc Warrior screamed.

“Hahap—!!”

I swung a water whip at the locked Orc Warrior. I put my soul in one shot and beat him all over.
Was it when he swung the whip enough to paralyze his wrist?
Finally, the Orc Warrior met a fierce end with the Glaive in his hand.
The Orc Warrior’s body leaned. The body of the slow-moving fellow fell to the bottom of the mine.
Thud! Stopping the whipping, I looked around.
I had to find out what happened to the other two orcs.

“I-I knocked this one down too.”
“The Orc is defeated!”

Dead orcs were scattered in front of Ally and Brute one by one. The moment I checked their corpses, my hands relaxed. I dropped the water whip and sat down on the floor.

Won
We defeated the orcs in the abandoned mines.
The waterway of the deep sea parted and the open ground welcomed us.

Silver Tier!
The silver tier that people live in is visible!

“Monma-sama, it’s Silver! Silver!”
“Yes-!”

Chak-!
Me and Kate faced each other and clapped our hands.
It was a high-five for victory.
