Chapter 294 – The New Vulva (5)

After crossing the river, we climbed the mountain.

According to Carden, we are currently on our way to meet the Ogres of the Guardian Force.

“We’re almost there. If you cross the mountainside, you’ll find an Ogre village, so be patient even if it’s a bit difficult.”

The mountain is steep.

Also, it’s not as well organized as a hiking trail.

But are we normal humans?

No.

Physically, they were already far out of the human category, and in the case of Riel, their physical abilities were noticeably lower than ours, but instead they were flying around.

That is to say.

“Whoa.”

Whichever of us struggles means Carden is everything.

Orcs aren’t low-level monsters, but they’re basically all big.

My stamina isn’t very good, but this is more than enough.

When I crossed the mountainside Carden had mentioned, I saw a village within a stone wall in the distance.

“Is that the Ogres’ village?”

“Yes, it is. Hurry up.”

“Okay.”

It was hard when going up the steep mountain, but not when going down.

When Carden started to speed up, we, who were secretly matching his speed, were able to move faster.

And after a while, we arrived right in front of the village.

“Isn’t it Carden?”

“Brother, long time no see.”

Carden, probably acquainted with the gatekeeper, spoke to him in a friendly way.

“It seems like it’s been almost a year… Hmm? Isn’t that guy over there… A human!?”

The ogre gatekeeper, surprised to see us, exclaimed.

I decided not to feel any excitement anymore.

After all, when we roam in this world, all the monsters will be surprised to see us.

“This… Energy…? Hey, who the hell did you bring?”

The ogre with a puzzled expression asked Carden.

He said with a grin, as if he liked the way he looked surprised.

“This is Kraine-sama’s successor. Open the door quickly, brother.”

∴

“Oohh!!”

“Chief! Chief! Chief!”

“La La La!”

Entering the village, we had to feel the warm heat from the beginning.

“What’s going on?”

“We are currently fighting the chieftain succession.”

The gatekeeper Ogre told me.

It felt a little strange to see a guy who looked roughly 4 to 5 meters tall and answered me very politely.

“The strongest becomes the chieftain. It’s a tradition in our village. That’s why the chieftain is accepting the challenge now.

“Hmm, that’s right.”

It’s full of big guys.

No matter what kind of Kryne energy I sensed from me, standing behind my back right now, I don’t have time to care.

‘I want to see more than that.’

Ogre is an A-class monster.

He is never an opponent to be ignored.

Of course, it’s no match for me.

Still, I wanted to see how they fought.

Well, I don’t have to see it.

A rat was pulled out of the dimensional pouch.

The mouse darted between the legs of the ogres and showed me what was going on in the crowd.

“Heh heh… You’re attacking every single day.”

“Yes, until the day I succeed to the chieftain position, I will not stop.”

Two ogres were facing each other.

The ogre, who appears to be a chieftain, has a long long sword.

The challenger ogre was carrying a hammer.

“Okay, come on. It’s a warrior’s shame to avoid a challenge.”

“I will learn a number.”

Facing each other, they silently bowed.

And the distance we walked backwards from each other.

Each of them grabbed their weapons and took a stance.

“Start!!!”

“Oohhhhh!!!”

A thunderous roar erupted, and the chief approached the orc called ‘Ra’ with great speed.

Shoo!

A sword swung through the air.

Only then did Ra, realizing that the chieftain was right in front of her, hurriedly lifting her hammer to parry the attack.

Aaaaang!

The sound of steel colliding resounded, and a contest of strength began for a while.

But Ra couldn’t stand it and was pushed back.

The soil on the floor he was standing on was also being pushed away.

“Kuh…! Not yet!”

The struggle was lost.

Ra quickly pulled out his body and pulled out the hammer and swung it at the chief’s head, but the chief easily avoided it.

Then the chieftain swung his sword, and the sword stopped right in front of Ra’s neck.

Those actions seemed fine to me, but not to Ra.

He only realized it when his sword touched his throat.

“Good job, you’ve improved a lot more than before.”

“… Lost.”

“Wow!!!”

It was so good that it was so good that it was so good.

“As expected, he’s the chieftain. How do you win?”

“Hey, but you can admit your grit. You keep fighting even though you claim to be the chief every day, don’t you?”

“No, but look, you haven’t even seen the chief’s sword before. Didn’t you just see it? Blocked it?”

“You must be lucky.”

“Now then, everyone disperse! To their respective positions!”

“Yes!!!”

As the chieftain shouted, all the other ogres also shouted.

And the augers began to disperse.

“Huh? What, uh…?”

I turned off sight sharing with the rat, and then one of the ogres turned around and made eye contact with me.

“Human? Kryne-sama…?”

And it seems that they are confused while looking at me.

“What, Kryne-sama?”

“What nonsense are humans talking all of a sudden?”

And at his small murmur, the other ogres began to gather one by one.

“”Chief!!!!!!””

The ogres shouted in a loud, deafening voice.

“Why… Kryne-sama!?”

“Chief, this is Craine-sama’s successor Kim Si-woo.”

The gatekeeper Ogre explained me.

∴

We sat on chairs with a large log desk in the center.

About 20 ogres gathered here.

And me and my friends.

Funny thing is, each of the Ogre’s chairs was enough for three of us to sit on.

Of course, my feet didn’t touch the floor.

“Did you say Carden?”

“Yes, Ogre Chieftain, I am Da Kaden, the battle chief of the Orc Tribe.”

“Yes, yes. You had a lot of trouble coming from the other side of the mountain.

“Yes, they will definitely welcome you.”

A businesslike conversation ensued for a while.

“Kraine-sama’s successor…”

“You look weaker than me?”

“Hey, I can hear you.”

“Calm down, heir, you crazy bastard.”

The ogres chattered among themselves, but not in a particularly bad mood.

Ogres are easy to deal with, and it’s natural to be wary of opponents you’re seeing for the first time.

“Hmmmm, you’ve worked hard to come a long way. I’m Tan, the chief of the ogre tribe.”

“Kim Si-woo, I am Craine-sama’s successor. You must already know the purpose of my coming here.”

“We don’t dare to understand what the heir’s long-awaited purpose is, but if we dare to guess, aren’t you here to restore order on this continent?”

“Right.”

The ogre chief looked right at me.

Eyes that seemed to pierce through me.

Do you doubt me

I fully understand.

I guess the same goes for other ogres.

Also I can really see through him.

[I can feel the energy of the heir, Craine-sama… But it doesn’t look very strong. Has it not grown yet?]

‘Hmm…’

Do I look that weak?

Well, an ogre, a monster with a height and size of 5m.

Among the monsters, it was almost the strongest monster, so you might think that way.

However, it was a little distasteful to judge just by looking at the outside.

“Do you not believe that I am the successor? Or is it because I look weak?”

“…Are you Yongan? I can never deny the fact that Siwoo-nim is the successor of Kraine-sama. But.”

“It seems that you have no doubts about my abilities.”

What would you do with words

It’s much better to show it in person.

I got down from my chair

And looked at them and said

“I’ll show you. Did you say Tan?”

“… Yes.”

“It’s a challenge. As a warrior, don’t think of refusing.”

∴

Anyway, I have to get their approval.

If I want to be treated with just the title of successor, it is as if I have no conscience.

“Do well.”

“Huh.”

After taking the knuckle out of the dimensional pouch, I put it on my hand.

“Hmm, are you really okay?”

“Yes, the tradition of this village is to follow the strong, right? I also have no intention of stretching myself just because of the fact that I am the heir.”

“Hoo…”

Tan nodded slightly in admiration.

The ogres began to gather one by one.

“Aren’t you that human?”

“They say he’s Craine-sama’s successor.”

“Are you challenging the real Chieftain?”

The surroundings started to stir, and soon the chatter filled the surroundings.

“Quiet everyone!”

Chieftain’s call.

And static.

“Kraine-sama’s successor! Kim Si-woo challenged me. This is a sacred battle for the position of chieftain.”

What?

A chieftain’s seat?

I had no intention of getting that.

“Check with your own eyes! Heir’s power.”

“…Come on.”

Can I use magic?

What could be wrong?

“Start!!!”

Tan raised his greatsword and charged at me.

Caused a stir

The heart on my right side started beating wildly, and dark energy slowly rose from my body and was ejected toward the ogre that was running towards me.

“This, this…!”

“Devil!”

You know everything too.

I have already thought of an excuse for this.

Whether I use Magi or not, they already know that I am Kryne’s successor.

The ogre dodged my demonic energy and looked straight at me.

“Isn’t that… The power of demons?”

“It’s the same as the power demons use. But there’s something wrong with your words. This isn’t the power of demons. It’s the power of me, Kim Si-woo.”

It’s not a lie.

“I can use both mana and magic. I am human, dragon, and demon.”

“…Is that kind of person claiming to be Craine-sama’s successor?”

“Yes, I am different from demons. I know how to value the lives of those who are not my enemies.”

How will you accept it?

It doesn’t seem like it’s easy to accept.

“I was able to use Magi. But even so, I became the successor of Lord Kraine.”

In fact, all I ate was the heart.

In the end, this heart was given to me by Riel, who was close to Kryne.

“The demons have annihilated the humans of the Western Continent.”

“I’ve never killed a single human. Now I’m traveling with humans too.”

“Magi is an evil energy.”

“It’s an evil energy because I used magic for evil purposes, and I’ve never used magic for evil.”

Anyway, in this world, there is no way not to use magic.

To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to end the conflict in this world without Magi.

Of course, the same goes for Mana.

“How can you believe that?”

“I swallowed Lord Kraine’s heart and inherited his power. I have no intention of begging for your trust. The judgment is yours to the end.”

“… All right.”

“Then come. I’ll give you the right to go first.”

“…Even if you regret it, it will be too late.”

“That would be nice.”

The chief ran in front of me and swung his sword wide.

A sword that looks roughly twice my height.

The blue energy is probably the black energy.

But I blocked that sword with magic.

Then, he fired the demonic energy at him who was trying to distance himself again.

Magi, whose purpose was to block his sight.

However, that alone was a big danger to Tan, so he used his gaze to slash demonic energy and didn’t notice me approaching behind his back.

I moved the demon and made a foothold.

Then he swung a fist wrapped around his face.

His eyes, staggered from a hit in the temple, were staring at me in astonishment.

The ogre, who was called ‘Ra’ right away, didn’t even recognize the chief’s sword.

That means Chief, Tan is incredibly fast.

But I am faster and stronger than him.

He removed the footrest and landed on the ground, kicking his staggering ankle and knocking him over.

“It’s my victory.”

He created several demonic spears and pressed Tan’s throat.

“Joe, Chief…”

“No, already…?”

Voices of astonishment are heard from everywhere.

“… Lost.”

Once I won

He was recognized for his strength, but he had to be recognized for his magi.
