Chapter 73 – Ogre Raid

“Meal hee hee hee hee profit!!!!!”

From the other side of darkness, a scream that appeared to be that of a kidnapped martial artist burst out. Although it was clearly the last cry of life, it was by no means a death throes.

“Nuieeeee!!!!!”

The bodies of those who realized him hardened like ice.

Martuga did not die.

It was only a scream that was evidently from great pain. We couldn’t bear to run into the darkness at that overwhelming scream.

The people who had just been shouting to chase the ogre couldn’t open their mouths anymore. It seemed as if only the martial artist had the right to speak in the hall.

“Bik! Dhik! Kiyeeeee!!!!”
“Zooeeeee!!”
“Heukeuaaain!!!”

The screams continued. Only in the darkness, as if a hole in hell had opened for a moment, only incredibly terrible sounds came out. I too was shocked by that crazy sound. What the hell is he doing in the dark?

The human imagination was a weapon. He stabs others with his ingenuity, but at the same time he stabs himself by becoming an inflated delusion like a blowfish. It was so easy to imagine what he was going through.

“The ogre got scared. So I’m thinking of putting more fear on this side to gain the upper hand… The cut must have been thinner than I thought. I couldn’t cut the sinew.”

Cloudy whispered in my ear.

“…Fuck.”

At some point, the screaming stopped. There was complete silence for a moment, enough to hear the swallowing sound of the adventurer standing next to him. After that moment of silence,

ㅡWheek!
ㅡTuk.

Something flew from the other side of the darkness. Copson, who was standing in front, approached cautiously to examine it. That guy was alive.

“This, this!”

Copson was astonished. Then everyone followed him in amazement.

“Aaaaagh!”
“This! This is just that bastard!”
“Dog, dog’s arm!

Those terrible fragments were pieces of a martial artist.

Separated like a smashed plastic model, the damage was so severe that there seemed to be no sign of it reviving even if it was reassembled with the delicate hands of an artisan.

Unlike the game, it was not possible to create a martial artist by collecting pieces of a martial artist. I, who have lived through a lot of terrible things, shuddered at the horror.

Ogre was a huge abuser.

That’s a transcendent level of abuse.

“…”

What flew in were the arms and legs of the martial artist, as well as the torso and head. The ogre pulled out his limbs and lastly pulled out his head in order to squeeze out his screams in the dark without a single light.

And threw it at us as if to show off.
To scare.

“Kat. If you lose your fighting spirit here, you will die. Turn your fear into anger. A warrior must do that.”
“…I was scared at first too, but seeing that the one who fell behind is a martial artist, it’s a bit hollow.”
“Yes?”
“No… There’s something like that. It’s okay. You don’t have to worry. We’ll take 1 gold.”
“It’s a good attitude. If you’re a man, of course you should.”

The method was brutal. Common sense, I couldn’t help but be angry.

However, seeing that the guy behind him was a martial artist, it seemed that the 10-year-old congestion went down. Who knows, man, that bastard might be one of the bastards I lynched back then. Then I felt relieved. These 10 Mutugas were cheap guys even after a bit of searching.

“Whoa, good. Very good. It’s fine. I’m fine. I haven’t looked back yet.”

As if casting a spell, I muttered to myself.
Separate me from others

That bastard died because he was an idiot, and I survived, not an idiot. I’m not an idiot, so I’ll never die here. I believed that and brainwashed myself. I desperately drove away the fear.

“Uhhhhh!”
“Hey! You have to pay a penalty for escaping! Stop it now!”

But not all adventurers thought that way. The fugitives appeared one after another. I had to pay a penalty, but if I survived after paying 3 silver, it was a profitable business. Like people who live fiercely, their calculations were fast.

On the bad side.

“Damn it! If you don’t want to be searched for, you guys can run away too!”
“We can only live if we run away together!”
“Go with me!”
“Stop it, you assholes!”

Nearly ten adventurers fled at once, and even Zaurus’ stern shouts couldn’t stop them.

“Muppets.”

Cloudy muttered softly.
And he said it with a laugh.

“They’re all going to die. Right now, the dark is the realm of the ogres. They’ll kill them all before they’re half way down the mountain and come back up.”
“Fucked.”

I had a gut feeling that I was screwed.

Fewer people It’s literally a moral bread situation.

The morale that had been high was now sinking without knowing the bottom. I really didn’t think of this. Just because there were so many people, I thought that even if it wasn’t easy, we could win somehow.

Did you know that I would be

“Kuh… It looks like your head is going to break. What happened to the ogre, Sir Zaurus?”
“The ogre has run away.”
“I see… I thought it was too easy. Sir Zaurus, please gather the people.”

Lady Isvant, clutching her hair, approached from behind. Her bun hair was dog-haired, and her luxurious clothes were torn and soiled. She must have rolled a few laps as she flew.

“Everyone gather in front of the watchtower!

That seemed reasonable. We can only survive if we stick together. We huddled together in front of the smashed watchtower. The young lady shouted at us.

“Unless I kill the ogre, I’m afraid to see my father! I’ll kill the ogre and go home no matter what!”

He shouted quite confidently, but it was not a speech or anything, it was like a complaint. It seemed that my hair wasn’t that good. Zaurus quickly responded.

“I heard you right? You have to kill the ogre to go down! And we have enough power to do it! A few fools escaped, but the ogre is badly wounded too! It can be done!”

I’m not sure about that. But he was badly wounded too, so he thought he could kill him with just a little more. His blood loss was considerable. The more violently he moves the massive body, the more severe his bleeding will be.

ㅡ aaaaa!!

Then a scream came from somewhere in the mountain. It was not difficult to recall that the owners of the voice belonged to the adventurers who had just escaped. Like Cloudy said, the ogre must have hunted the fugitives while speeding through the darkness.

People who do not gather together are nothing more than infinitely weak monkeys. If you lost your reason due to fear, you become a lower existence. The price of a foolish choice was death.

“Can you hear me?

Zaurus said with a cold expression. Now there was no choice but to rummage and kill the ogres. An extreme alternative. If not, you’ll have to pray for the ogre to just leave, or wait for the sun to rise.

The night seemed long.

***

In endless tension, we prepared for the ogre’s attack. Zaurus and Winia. And the young lady and Cloudy gathered in one place. The lady who saw Cloudy’s movements called her out.

They set up a plan of some sort. The plan was that when an ogre appeared, Winia would cover her eyesight with magic, then Young lady would take the front and Cloudy would take the rear, and soldiers and adventurers would block the escape routes to the left and right.

Cloudy explained the plan to me, and Zaurus relayed it to all adventurers. So, we simply matched our movements according to the young lady’s signal her. The movement was good for a strategy that was agreed upon on the spot. With the will to live without missing a single one, I seriously engaged in training.

Now it seemed that only ogres would appear.

“Asshole bastard. Still ain’t got it.”

When Winia passed by, she said so. She tried to protest something, but she didn’t wait for my back words and moved on. The bastard curses and runs away!

“That bastard…”
“Cut.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll be back now, so be careful. He’s close by.”
“Oh my gosh.”

I was extremely nervous and looked around.

But nothing was visible. All that could be seen in the darkness were the trees standing on the border of the clearing. Somewhere in between, he will come.

Ah… Mr. It’s fucking scary.

Even though I made up my mind, fear creeps up. I don’t know anything else, but it was a specification as much as the limbs leaving like the Soviet Union was disintegrating in the air. Body-prone resin parent. For me, who was born in a Confucian world, dismembering my limbs was such a big insult.

In front of the ogre, humans are mere beings. In the heavy night air, the trees at the border looked like moving masses. It swayed like smoke in the wind, swayed, and finally seemed like a giant would come out…

ㅡ kung.

“Come.”

I said it out loud with my mouth. The hand that was holding his sword tensed. Okay. I don’t die Cloudy is next to me. She is there, what is she worried about?

ㅡKung, Kung.

The sound came closer.

The adventurers around them were agitated. It was as if a sound was echoing in my head, perhaps because of the extreme tension.

ㅡKung, Kung. Thud!

ㅡKung!

The earth shook, and it announced its appearance.

「ㅡkkkkuRrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! 」

“Appear!”

Suppressing the urge to cover my ears at the tremendous roar, I remembered the strategy. Everyone else would have done the same. They moved in perfect order, just as they had practiced before.

ㅡQuguagwa!!

The ogre jumped out of the darkness and ran in a straight line like an American football player. It was great speed. The explosive speed that comes from the muscles that are packed all over the body!

“Ughhhhh!”
“Come this way!”
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way! You asshole! Get out of the way!”

The surprise movement, which seemed to hit the soldiers’ flanks, scattered all of them while losing consciousness of the operation. If things work out the way you think, it’s not an operation.

Amy, all I can do is fucking laugh.

“I’m lost, Techaa!!”

Fucked already. The formation collapsed. A scream erupted from my mouth. There are no brave idiots who believe that if they unite against a rushing bus, they can win. When the ogres rushed in, the strategy was a mess and everyone spread their faith in their own survival.

So it was the ogre’s turn.

“Aaaaagh!!”

It sprinted with all its might, catching one of the scattering people, strapping it to his side, and disappearing into the darkness again. The Bossam skill was very good. The guy was born with the qualities of a super-rape horse.

“Another bastard has been taken!”
“Bruther! Where is Bruter!”
“Eisermart, the god of order, please save us…”

Voices burst out in anger and horror. With fear painted underneath.

The ogres were skilled.
He was skilled and had a good head.
He stabbed him once and realized that he couldn’t do it, so he immediately began to engage in guerrilla warfare.

“It’s too crowded. At least if you just stayed still, I’d be able to take advantage of the gap…”

In contrast, Cloudy had a bored expression on his face. In the first place, even when the martial artist’s limbs flew off, she didn’t show much emotion.

She seemed to have a hard time getting her chance with people running away in a rush. However, as Cloudy wished, her adventurers would not stop.

After that, ogres appeared from the east and then from the west and began kidnapping people one by one. It wasn’t long before the screams broke out again, and he came out from the north again.

He was like Hong Gil-dong in the east and in the west.
However, what was stolen was not the riches of the corrupt officials, but people’s lives.

People one disappeared by one. What used to be two platoons has now been reduced to one platoon.

The ogre ran through the darkness as if it were its own home.

The lady, in her great rage, pounced on her ogre whenever it appeared, but the ogre made no attempt to deal with her. Cloudy continued to try for timing, but her movements seemed to be restricted by the adventurers fleeing in all directions.

In the chaos, the ogre took advantage.

It was dawn, and it took a long time for the sun to rise.
Will he come up with a win, or will he keep posting memes?

Suppressing my anxiety, I had no choice but to stick to Cloudy’s side of her.
