Chapter 133 – [My Heart Is Beating for You](01)

Ogres, the predators of the steppes, were not an easy opponent even for us.

However, as I calculated when I came here, the Ogre’s own abilities are strong enough to match those of characters whose growth has been completed in the latter half of the game, but they are only able to compete because they have serious flaws in their ‘ skills’ such as accuracy and counterattack rate.

However, it is also a 1:1 situation, and for safety, I draw the ogre’s attention and make it 2:1, further reducing the ogre’s concentration and skills.

In fact, although the setting refers to the father, mother, and child ogres, their actual abilities differed only slightly and not much, so it was a dangerous situation even if any additional entity intervened.

‘There is a village… But as long as you don’t touch it, it’s okay’

A village can be thought of as a hive for each monster.

In terms of the game system, monster villages are set up to interfere as much as possible with the play of annihilating them in one turn with wide-range wizards such as [Star Wizard] Alice or [Blizzard Magician] Dates, and monsters only pop out when that place is attacked once. There was a structure.

In that case, even if you use a wide-range attack to clear out the miscellaneous mobs, the village will collapse and many monsters will pop out, so you will have to fight additionally, or attack the village with Inori or some agile characters to induce the monsters to appear and then use a wide-range attack. It was a system made to fly.

‘Originally, things like ogre villages shouldn’t be activated in the Academy part… But you never know.’

There is nothing strange about anything happening in this bug-filled game.

Sigh!

Thanks to the ‘Sword of the Famous Family’ and because my skills have improved a lot, I can barely cut the skin and bleed out attacks, unless I try to cut through the bone or in areas where my muscles have developed so much that I have to dig in for at least a span. It worked.

Of course, in the case of Marian, the ogre stumbled and screamed every time she swung her sword, and Marian had to hit her 6 times before the ogre could only counterattack once, but even that was no match for her due to the series of attacks leading to a complete evasion and counterattack.

Should we say that this proves that no matter how strong you are, it’s okay if you’re not the right fit?

The ogre’s skin was becoming tattered as if cutting a knife into meat in an instant, but it was basically large, had high vitality, had basic defense, and would not die instantly unless the attack was at a level that pierced the heart.

In other words, it will be a long-term battle.

Fortunately, since it was the ogre’s territory, there were no other miscellaneous monsters nearby, and if the five members of our party work together, we can catch at least one ogre if we are not careful, or even if we are a little careful.

“Now is the time, Marian!”

Marian deliberately stepped back to allow the ogre to attack her, and then the moment a club flew towards her.

Once again, I used the same counterattack as before.

Ugh!

This time, Marian directly guided his body and made him hit it by passing it to the side, so the ogre got hit in the chin with his own attack power and began to stagger and lean back, just like he was swinging a nunchuck and hitting himself. .

“Alice!”

When I sent a ‘voice’ to Alice, who was waiting for her opportunity, fearing that she might interfere with Marian and I, who were engaged in close combat, she immediately fired several light bullets, pushing the ogre’s balance further back.

“Inori!”

When I gave a signal, Inori, who was waiting in the shadows, used [Shadow Thorn].

The sharp [Shadow Thorn] That protrudes from the ogre’s wide shadow hits the back of the ankle, the Achilles tendon, and the ogre falls backwards with a loud scream.

Cooooo!

Unable to withstand his heavy weight and our combined attacks, the ogre’s ankle ruptured and he fell behind him, and Marian jumped on top of him.

Pooh wow!

Then he grabbed the sword of the famous family with both hands and pierced his heart.

“Ooooo!!”

Thump thump thump thump!!

The ogre, who was lying on his back trying to pull out the Highborne sword digging into his chest, tried with both her hands and tried to pull Marian away, but Marian avoided the hands by moving around on her body and continued to hold the sword with her own hand. It was being stabbed towards the heart of her.

Little by little, Marian’s sword, bearing her weight her her her, digs into her her heart her her her, and a large amount of green blood spurts out, soaking Marian’s stockings her and her shoes her her her.

The game has been won. Now this is the end…

“Wow!!”

Kwaaaaang!!

But this is where a variable arose.

The struggling ogre swung her arm with his club her her, and Marian easily avoided it by lowering her posture, but the club slipped from the ogre’s hand her her and flew away-

Whoa!

It struck a village where ogres lived.

‘Alas!’

Basically, the ogre in this mission did not enter the village and then come out, but if it was wandering around outside in its natural state, it was a mission to just hunt it down and return.

When several ogres come in, they are a troublesome enemy that is difficult to deal with even in the latter half, so the setting was designed so that in the middle half, you can deal with them one by one unless there are special circumstances.〈 Br〉

Originally, the ogres you meet in the middle academy part hunt natural ogres in that way, so the ogre village should be just a background and three ogres should be the limit…

Kwasik!

Now, four more ogres were appearing within the village.

As a game system, villages are laid out and monsters appear periodically, but in the original game world, it is just a background and should not have any actual function…

Now, whether it was a bug or just integrated, it seemed like the ogre was set to pop out when actually attacked.

“Wow!!”

In fact, as the village was destroyed, four angry ogres came out of it and found the direction they had attacked… That is, our party.

“Marian! Quick!”

Woowoowoo…

The sword of the famous family was already half lodged in the chest, but due to the ogre’s thick pectoralis muscle and tough leather, it was unable to cause a fatal wound, with only blood flowing out.

However, if we give up the attack on that ogre, just picking up the dirt and stones rolling around and scattering them would be a threat to us.

“I’ll stop this, please finish Marian and come back!”

Marian, who was already covered in green blood and stabbing her sword in her, did not have time to even reply, and I had no choice but to block the four ogres coming next to her.

The feeling of crisis makes my skin tingle.

“Golem No. 2, maximum output!”

“-Enter battle mode with maximum power-“

Due to Melissa’s instructions, Golem No. 2 entered overheat mode and opened both arms this time, extending the barrel of its left arm forward and placing its right arm over its left shoulder as if charging electricity, injecting negative energy into the arm. I was doing it.

Boom!

A high heel-like heel emerged from her leg, and she pinned it to the ground, anchoring her body to the floor.

“-Mana Cannon ready to fire-“

“Fire!”

Jeeeee_ of

A blue mana cannon is fired.

The blue light extends from Golem No. 2’s arm hit the two ogres running at the front, and at that moment, an explosion loud enough to shake the ground shook the terrain.

Rumbling!

‘Did you do it? With this level of power, he will at least be injured and dulled, so just wait until Marian joins…’

“Kooooo!!”

However, the ogre was charging forward, holding the relatively small ogre with both hands and using it as a shield.

The ogre, which had been hit squarely by the mana cannon and was roasted, was running towards me using it as a shield. At that sight, except for Marian, who was chopping up the ogre with all her might, the rest momentarily forgot what to say.

‘That… Never happened?’

Although there was a feature that prevented him from shooting enemies behind him unless he had a special skill, a howitzer or an indirect fire skill, I didn’t expect him to attack his comrades so blatantly, using them as shields.

“No. 2…!”

“-Warning. Gun barrel overheated. Power is insufficient. Switch to low-power suppressive fire mode-

Golem No. 2’s arms turned bright red and were emitting steam while making a hissing sound, and its power was dropping to 26%.

“Alice! The magic of the stars!”

“No, it takes 5 minutes!”

Excluding the one ogre running from the front, there were two remaining, and Inori tried to cut the ankle using [Shadow Thorn], But due to the location, it only pierced the sole of the ogre’s foot, and even then, it only screamed in pain and ran at the speed. Has not decreased.

“No… “

Melissa’s eyes fill with fear.

Just in case, with the intention of opening the [Shadow Pocket], I put one leg back and stopped, blocking the direction where Melissa and Alice were.

“Aren…”

Three ogres jumped out.

I couldn’t deal with the party’s current strength.

If we were told to fight 1:5 four times, we would be able to respond, but if we fought 4:5 like we are now, we had no choice but to collapse right away.

Smart Melissa knew this and fell into her despair, then she checked her condition and turned her body again to see my back of her.

“Run… Go…”

“Don’t worry.”

He holds the sword of the famous family stained with green blood in both hands and blocks the way forward.

“I will protect everyone.”

The lead ogre, judging that there would be no more attacks, threw away the small ogre he was using as a shield, raised both his hands his, and charged at me with the intention of tearing me apart.

The moment I was about to open the [Shadow Pocket] With my foot and take out the wooden sword.

“…I…”

As I hear the sound of something bubbling, I feel the affection level rising behind me.

“You know… I tried to hate Aren…”

When I turned around to hear Melissa crying, I saw that she was crying, tears falling from her blue eyes.

“They said they wouldn’t care about me… So I tried to hate them from now on…”

As I watched her affection level continue to increase while crying, I was surprised even when I was about to become an ogre.

If your personality is right, how quickly your affection level increases and how much of an impact it has.

The problem was that Marian’s affection level rose too easily because her disposition matched well, and considering that Priestess Beace, who has [Insensitivity], Rarely increases her affection level herself, she believes that her disposition is something that is instinctive for people to go against . It was.

“Let’s talk later.”

The ogre’s steps were slow, so I had some time to spare, but it was a really dangerous situation if I didn’t take out my wooden sword.

Just before I opened the [Shadow Pouch] With my foot and took out her wooden sword, Melissa’s mouth opened again.

“But…But…”

Melissa was desperately trying to get her words out, even with her sobbing face, and I had to listen.

“I couldn’t hate you…”

And the tendency to glow red next to Melissa’s face was revealed.

[Pure love preference][Bad man].

‘Why… [Bad guy] Tendencies shine?’

Finally, the last column, the moment when the affection level reaches 5.0.

A blue light began to see from Melissa’s chest onto her clothes her her her her.

– Permanent engine drive (temporary) –

– A permanent organ created by adding miracle to miracle. An object that was originally supposed to be completed after the girl’s death regains its original function for a while through the power of love –

The same level of affection appeared next to Golem No. 2’s face.

“-My heart is beating for you-“

A power source that looked like a tattoo began to activate from the chest of Golem No. 2, which had run out of power.

Originally, either Melissa would lose her memories and only Golem No. 2 would be left with only the permanent organ left, or Golem No. 2 would disappear and the permanent organ would start beating in Melissa’s chest her her, which would end up being her her heart her with no place to be used forever.

“-Switch to residual power cooling function. Activate superconductor-“

Easy profit-!

A huge amount of negative energy was released between the joints of Golem No. 2, and her body began to cool.

At the same time, the cracked part of the back opens and releases negative energy, which freezes water vapor in the air, creating an appearance similar to a fairy’s wings made of thin ice.

Slam!

Then she took one of her right little fingers and inserted it into the gun barrel of her own left arm.

The finger that goes into the gun barrel has a metal conductor on the inside and a skin-like coating on the outside, so it becomes a bullet –

“-Output, max. Limiter off-“

The output generated through the permanent engine is directly applied to the gun barrel.

It is not a mana cannon that simply fires mana like before, but a weapon that fires finger bullets using electromagnetic force.

I knew the identity of this.

‘Railgun… Why is something like this coming out here, you crazy mod creators!!’

Kuwaaaaang-!!

And after a while, the sound of air bursting rang out, and as I was withstanding the shock wave in front of Melissa, she buried her face in my arms and held on.

‘It’s over’

“Huh… Huh… I hate you… But I love you so much…”

“Okay, okay… “

She nudged her feet again and put her wooden sword away before Melissa noticed.

There is no need to pick it anymore.
