Chapter 72 – Ogre Raid

“Ugh… What is it? When did it get so dark?”
“Are you awake now?”

Copson rubbed his eyes and stood up. He was sleeping soundly, so I didn’t even bother waking him up, so I just left him alone. No, I prefer to be quiet, so I neglected it. Because I had a good time with Cloudy.

“Didn’t the ogre show up?”
“If it showed up, all the sleeping babies would have been searched for.”
“I guess so.”

Copson woke up and started doing gymnastics. He didn’t want to describe the bizarre movement and the bizarre eccentricity.

In any case, the time was moving towards the dark night. Unlike the warm day, the temperature began to drop rapidly. Clouds are rolling in. I think it’s a sign of rain.

If the moon rises and the clouds cover it, then moonlight cannot be expected. The difference between with and without moonlight is enormous. At night in a world without lights, there were only primitive torches, oil lanterns, and a few magic tricks.

They were very weak compared to modern lighting.

In a space that has turned so dark, it is the monsters, not the humans, who gain the advantage.

It would be nice if the monsters’ senses were better than humans, but they never fell behind. I felt a bit ominous. It was a bad day. If the rain starts to fall, just waiting for the ogre will drain your stamina.

If the ogres are after that, we’re going to struggle.

Looking around, the other adventurers started to light more and more bonfires as if they felt the cold too. I thought I should light a fire too. Aside from the temperature, when it gets dark, this side will be at a disadvantage.

“Claudie, you’d better light a fire.”

I also got up from my seat.

“No, wait.”
“Well?”

Cloudy, who stopped it, said.

“Ogres’ eyesight isn’t very good. If they do an ambush at night, it’s probably better to run near the light. Many other adventurers have already lit the fire. They’ve become bait themselves. We waited with bated breath in the dark. I just need it. I won’t miss the ogre with my senses, so it won’t be too late to act after it appears.”

It was a very logical tone, so I nodded. Cloudy’s reasoning, obviously derived from experience, was valid.

“Is that so? But if it rains, your body temperature…”
“It’s just you and me. Just hugging each other, right?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Hehe, let’s move.”

I looked at Copson. He shook his head and expressed his will.

“Look, the lady came down from the watchtower. I plan to wait nearby. If I get a chance, I’ll be able to hear her voice a little more.”
“Uh… Work hard.”

Copson disappeared like a moth into a fire.

“Um… Your friend is gone. Shall we go together then?”

Cloudy grabbed my hand and dragged me. He had to go undercover in a suitable place. He calmly explained that it would be nice to build a hideout, but Cloudy calmly explained that there was no need to because there were many lures. I don’t think he said it with awareness of that, but he treated the adventurers casually as bait.

Is it because of the blood of different races… She was merciless in that regard.

“Umm… It’s really different from the desert. I’m not sure where to hide.”

Cloudy, who took the lead, expressed her resentment. Come to think of it, even though Cloudy had more experience than me, most of it was in the desert. I felt like I had a richer experience in this lush green mountain.

Then it was my turn to lead.

“Then I’ll guide you. I’ve had a lot of experience sleeping in the mountains. I know how to hide from experience.”
“Okay? So, shall we trust him and follow him?”

I made my way through the woods, being careful not to stray too far from the clearing. It was embarrassing to hear that I had gone too far and ran away.

It wasn’t until the sun went down that I found a suitable spot. It was a place where the stump of a large tree and a large rock provided cover. Camouflage was carried out by cutting branches with moderately many leaves there.

“Hmm. It’s quite comfortable.”
“Right?”

This is what I learned in the military.

Amchang, Gura Anchigo, and the crazy army experience were often useful in another world. If there is anyone who wants to go to another world, I recommend that they must gain experience in the military (bullshit).

While hiding like that, the perfect night came. As expected, it started raining. He built the roof with rain in mind, but it wasn’t perfect, and his shoulders got wet little by little. The temperature dropped and his toes felt cold.

“Come closer.”
“Okay.”

Cloudy hugged me from behind. He was covered by his clothes and armor, so his body heat didn’t seem to be transmitted very much, but as his heart warmed up, his body seemed to warm up as well.

Little bit cold. We kept our eyes on the clearing.

An orange light flickered beneath the tent. The flames of the bonfires that had not yet been extinguished bent as if they were dancing. Even though the moon was covered and the surroundings were immersed in complete darkness, it was as clear as that.

It would be the same for ogres…

“Cut.”

Then Cloudy stood up and said.

“I’m here.”

A fist entered the hand that held his sword. I also got up and stood behind Cloudy. “Can I hear?” Klaus pricked up his ears. “No.” But I couldn’t hear anything in my ears.

“Look over there.”

ㅡKung, Kung. Thud!

Opposite us, from the back of the clearing, came a sound.

It was the angry footsteps of an earth-shocking giant. Cloudy moved toward the clearing. I also moved along with her.

As we got closer, the clearing started to become noisy,

「 ㅡKurRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! 」

ㅡOgre appeared with a groan.

“Ough!”
“All! All! Kill the ogres!”
“Wowaaaaa!!!!”
“Joe!”

A gigantic giant who seemed to be 4m tall jumped toward the watchtower like a cannonball being fired.

It was unbelievable speed. The watchtower had a tent underneath, so it was the brightest light. The watchtower was bigger than the ogre. The ogre appeared screaming and ran towards it like a moth jumping into a fire.

The ogre’s huge body collided with the watchtower.

ㅡ It’s crazy!

The watchtower collapsed at that tremendous shoulder tackle. The collision sent about five people flying through the sky. Even an adventurer trapped under a collapsed watchtower would not be safe. The ogre picked up an adventurer right next to him.

“Aaaaa!!”

One adventurer was smashed with a grievous scream. It took less than 3 seconds for him to die. Swung with all his might, he hit the floor and was shattered at the same time.

“Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho! How strong! Ogre!”

The one who stopped such an ogre was Lady Isvant. Even though several of her people were fucked up in an instant, she didn’t lose her tension. Is this the aristocracy’s leisure?

Raising a huge greatsword, she confronted the ogre.

“Kill the ogre!”

The soldiers were also quite agile. The scattered soldiers tried to surround the ogres. And Zaurus shouted.

“Adventurer! A fugitive will pay a penalty! I have a list! Attack him! Surround him! The lady promised a prize of 1 gold to those who dealt a valid blow to it!”
“Ugh, uwaaaaa!!”
“Kill the ogre!!!”
“1 gold is mine!!”

Some seemed to have fled long ago, but there were still dozens of adventurers. Even though several of their comrades had just been killed, the excited adventurers swarmed like bees and surrounded the ogre with soldiers, as if they had read the odds behind the young lady. And each of them wielded their weapons.

The fierce attack made the ogre turn around. But.

“Where!”

Young Ae stabbed her with a greatsword at a speed that her eyes her could not follow.

The young lady’s greatsword, which slid as if on skates and charged, grazed the ogre’s side. Blood flowed, but it was not fatal. The moment he was stabbed, he avoided the tip of his sword with the transcendental speed and agility that came from the muscles of the huge body of his.

ㅡKURRR!!!!

The ogre, who twisted his body as he evaded, used the centrifugal force to swing his arm at the young lady. The young lady, who quickly retrieved the greatsword and blocked it like a shield, was hit by the swinging arm of her and flew away.

“Kyaaak!”

No, that bastard!
One shot!

“Young lady!”

Only then did the soldiers and adventurers rush towards the ogres. An excited ogre swung his arm like a whip, and those who couldn’t avoid it flew into the sky. People can’t fly But they flew. If so, I would be satisfied and die.

“The ogre gave them wings!”

I screamed in excitement at the sight of people dying.

People’s attacks were being eaten every moment. No matter how much the ogre rampaged, he was surrounded on all sides. Every time the blade cut through the ogre’s hide, hot blood splattered. I also had to lend a hand.

“Kat, calm down. It’s not time yet.”

Cloudy walked through the confusion. She was an assassin at the same time as her powerful ex she resigned. A human scream, an ogre’s roar. He measured the optimal timing while feeling the blood that splattered and the murderous intent of the blades cutting through the wind. The moment Cloudy hinted to live was the moment the ogre would die.

ㅡWheek!

“Attack! Attack! We outnumber us! He’s dying!”

Zaurus, who avoided the ogre’s punch by rolling on the ground, shouted as if chewing.

The ogre’s lower body was covered in blood. Many of the adventurers died because they weren’t all hukou, but the rest of them were putting in decent deals.

ㅡkuR!!!!

When an ogre attacks in front, those in front will fall back and those in the rear will stab their legs.

When the ogre turns back after aiming for him, the soldiers in front jump out and attack. It was done from the front, left and right. Those who made mistakes went out, and those who were skilled stayed and repeated the task. The ogre’s damage was accumulated.

Like those who live on a knife-bap, they were good at killing something for money.

ㅡ Hwareuk!

Then a fireball flew.

“This is the wizard’s support! Avoid!”

ㅡPergung!

Winia with an infinitely serious expression fired a fire bolt. It fired five shots in quick succession, hitting the ogre’s chest and forearm.

The explosion of fire scorched the ogre and burned it at the same time. The monster touched by the flames let out a roar.

ㅡKURRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
“Lehu has become hot!”

The ogre, who crossed his arms to protect his head his, jumped out in a straight line, trampling on the adventurers. One unlucky person was stepped on and exploded, changing his name.

Everyone who saw it threw their bodies to avoid the ogre’s reckless assault. In an instant, a straight road was opened, revealing Winia.

The ogre ran towards Winia.

“Now!”

Cloudy, who had a spirited spirit, jumped out like lightning. The intestines of her were empty. Claudius, who ran as low as a leopard, raised his curved sword. I also ran after her.

ㅡHush!

The curved swords in Cloudy’s hands shimmered in the dark. She ran away, covering her face with her forearms her, so she slashed the ogre’s right calf and ankle, which had been left blank.

I also swung the bastard sword with all my might and fed a large knife to his calf her.

ㅡPush!

Blood spattered.

ㅡKuuuuuRRRRRRRRR!!
ㅡKung!

The ogre groaned and fell forward. He saw Winia. She had long since fled. She dodged and chanted, pointing her staff at her fallen ogre her.

“Flame Arrow!”

The flying arrow of flame landed on the ogre’s back. The smell of burning meat came from a huge explosion. The ogre, literally roasted to its skin his, crawled toward the forest, writhing in pain.

Did you win?

“No, he runs away!”
“Kill! We win!”
“Fuck it!”

Soldiers and adventurers who saw the ogre, the loser of the mountain, crawling on the ground in an ugly way shouted and rushed at it. Now it was a competition to see who gets the last shot. 1 gold is given as a reward to the person who wins. 1 gold is a lot of money that can fix the fate of an adventurer in the lower life at least once.

Humans become the strongest in the face of greed. The sight-seeing adventurers galloped like hungry dogs. It was as fast as any sprinter.

Beyond love, friendship, and survival, when engulfed in greed, which is human nature, it is possible to generate transcendental power that exceeds the strength of the original body. They ran with that power as fuel.

However, people who are greedy can also become stupid at the same time.

I pulled myself out with Cloudy without being swept away by the trend.

“Hey!”

The martial artist who arrived the fastest raised both arms. Then he tried to drive his own fist into the ogre’s head like a hammer. In fact, hitting it with a real hammer would have been two hundred times better, but he didn’t mind that little thing.

He seemed to firmly believe that his fist was more powerful than his hammer.

ㅡkkkkUR!
“Aaaaa!!!”

Suddenly, the ogre jumped up and ran towards the forest with all its might, grabbing the martial artist who was about to strike his head with a hammer.

No one could catch that explosive speed.
