Life in Another World With Narration - Life in Another World With Narration chapter 20

20 – Promotion Request

A skeleton whose body fire has not yet been extinguished creeps up the hill.

After going through the log trap and the flames, the guy finally climbed the hill and ran towards me.

I lowered my sword and slashed with the intention of crushing his burning skull.

Kakang!

The strange sound of bone clashing with metal resonates.

Contrary to expectations, however, his skull was not shattered.

Did you lack strength? No, if it were an ordinary human bone, it would have been enough to crush it.

I swung my sword once again, this time hitting my shoulder blade with all my force.

But instead, the guy raised his arm and struck the sword with his arm bone.

“Ugh… ….”

The hand holding the sword tingles.

It was a tremendous force for a subject that had only bare bones.

What’s more, what is this terrifying durability?

It seemed that as the demonization progressed, the intensity became stronger.

『Yunoa was truly a dull student who had no application skills and barely knew one thing when taught.

He clearly knew how to reliably defeat the monster.

But in his haste to respond, his mind froze and he simply swung his sword.』

While many skeletons and a few zombies were rushing towards me to go over the hill and into the village, I heard a voice.

You already know how to reliably defeat a monster?

Then.

“Are you talking about this?”

I put the sword behind my waist and let the magical energy in my body flow into the sword.

This is the same skill that Bronze Adventurer Oren showed me.

Prepare the technique that you tried once in the forest and cut down a log from a distance.

Click! Click!

That was when the skeleton flashed its blue eyes and tried to swing its arm at me.

I swung the sword wide horizontally, feeling the magic power build up to the tip of the sword.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk-!

The trajectory of the sword that cuts through the air is manifested as sword energy.

The sword energy that materialized like that spread wide across the sonic waves and flew towards the people crowding in front of me and behind me.

Kagagagak-! Kagak-!

The ribs of the skeleton that was trying to swing its arm at me collided with the sword and broke down.

After that, dozens of them stumbled after being hit with sword energy.

But the opponent was undead.

Even though one arm, one leg, and even most of the torso collapsed, he still climbed the hill.

I concentrated my mind once again and sent the sword energy away.

One more time.

And one more time.

He continued to fire his sword energy like crazy.

Yes, as the narration says, it definitely has a larger range and more destructive power than simply swinging a sword.

But something was lacking in decision-making power.

Is this really ‘a way to reliably defeat monsters’?

Click click… ….

Skeletons with broken arms, legs, and torsos gathered together and began to reassemble their bodies.

The guy whose arm bone was broken picked up another guy’s arm bone from the floor and put it back in, and the guy whose leg bone was missing picked up his leg bone and put it back in.

After reassembling, the skeleton ran back with a fierce force as if it had never been attacked from the beginning.

Although we were blocking them as much as possible by continuously firing sword energy, there was no business when it came to numbers.

I was about to give up the hill to them.

『Yunoa also lacked application skills.

Even though he could freely control the movement of magical power flowing through his body, he could not block the monster with this destructive application power.』

“Damn it! Whatever!”

I shouted irritably at the repeated criticism of the narration.

I tried to fire the sword again, but the destructive power was noticeably reduced compared to the first time I fired it.

Now it was really dangerous.

At first glance, the number of undead, which had exceeded 100, still remained more than half.

If all went according to plan, at least two-thirds of them should have been taken out before they came over this hill.

However, no matter how disfigured the body was, if there were any movable parts, it could be reassembled and revived, which was annoying.

Even if 10 of them were killed, if you combine their healthy parts, 4 to 5 of them came back to life like new.

On the other hand, the weapons I prepared are running out quickly.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up the hill to them and retreat towards the hole trap.

Abandon the hill and sprint toward the village entrance.

When I retreated, they made a clicking sound and quickly chased me over the hill.

Too-doo-duk! Clattering!

I saw several skeletons that were chasing me ahead step on the hole trap and fall inside.

I immediately threw the torch into the hole, turning it into a fire pit.

Grrr!

The fire burning inside the hole was definitely stronger than in the open area.

The hole trap I dug burned them fiercely, like a large furnace for cooking the undead.

But the number of hole traps I prepared was not large.

It was because there was not enough time to prepare.

Honestly, considering the time given, it was a miracle that we were able to prepare the trap this much.

If he had not exerted superhuman labor with his strong body trained by magical power.

I expected more monsters to fall into the hole trap that had become a pit of fire.

But when the trap was activated and a large hole was created in the floor, the guys who followed did not fall into the hole.

They started jumping through the hole like long jumpers.

Some of them even jumped over the obstacles placed to limit the path and ran straight to where I was.

“I can’t believe he’s still as good as me…….”

I activated all the remaining hole traps and turned them into fire pits, and now I have used all the prepared traps.

And when I roughly counted the number of the remaining ones, there seemed to be about 30.

1Vs30.

Isn’t it still hopeless?

They are not ones that can be killed with a single sword like Blue Slime, and their attack power is incomparably strong.

Did you get rid of it? If it wants to, it can even come back to life by combining healthy parts.

But it’s better than 100.

Now the only thing I could trust was my sword.

I made up my mind and stood alone blocking the entrance to the village to confront them.

It was then.

As we were preparing for the final fight, several people from inside the village came running out of their houses and towards us.

“What’s going on?”

“Fire? Fire! “There was a fire in the direction of the cemetery!”

“Hey! What are those! It’s a monster! “A monster has invaded!”

When the villagers heard me setting fire to the cemetery and the sound of fighting, they woke up and came out to see what was going on.

Hearing the people’s cries, more people came out from their homes and flocked to the entrance of the village where I was standing.

“Stay away! Go back! “It’s dangerous!”

I shouted at the crowd of villagers.

They are not people like me who have trained their bodies with magical powers.

If such people come close, they will only become a hindrance.

“Who is that adventurer?”

“Ah! “Are you a member of the punitive force?”

“Were you guarding this place alone?”

The villagers who gathered behind me each said a word.

They gathered behind me and cheered me on, not even knowing how I felt when I was pushed to the edge.

If I get attacked by a monster here or even run away, a catastrophe will happen to the people of that village.

And at least from what I can see, the possibility is not that small now.

However, the villagers who did not know the situation thought that I was just an adventurer left behind to protect the village from a punitive force and gathered to watch my fight without even thinking about running away.

If you watch a cartoon or something like this, you power up and say, ‘I can feel people’s hearts!’

Unfortunately, I only felt a burden, not strength, from the people’s support pouring in on me.

Click, click, click.

Dozens of skeletons are coming toward the village entrance, making unpleasant noises.

I stood alone in front of him, holding a sword and with onlookers behind me.

Maybe it’s good.

A sword like the one used by Oren alone did not have enough destructive power.

If there is no way to destroy them more reliably, there is a high possibility that you will be caught in the loop against a large number of them.

If the thing I thought I killed comes back to life and runs past me towards the villagers…….

─Yunoa was a dull student who had no real application skills and barely knew one thing when taught.

─Even though he could freely control the movement of magical energy flowing through his body, he could not block monsters with this destructive application power.

The narration I heard earlier came back to my mind.

I have already unleashed enough sword energy.

But still, the narration did not stop criticizing me.

That means that Geomgi is not the answer the narration wanted.

Let’s think again.

Even though he was able to control the movement of magical power flowing through his body, he was unable to kill the monster due to his lack of application power.

Sword technique is used by channeling the magical power flowing through the body into the blade.

And the sword thrown like that did not have enough destructive power to kill the undead in front of him at once.

Then, in order to increase this insufficient destructive power…….

I concentrated my mind and began to channel the magic flowing through my body back into the sword.

But this time, instead of the entire blade, the magic was concentrated at the tip of the blade to prevent it from escaping.

As if concentrating a large amount of liquid to collect essence, he tried to concentrate magical power at a high density at one point of the tip of the sword.

Sword energy has a wide range, but lacks destructive power.

Then, if you narrow the range to the same power, the destructive power becomes stronger.

The monsters were now close enough for the sword to touch.

I struck the sword full of magical power with all my might towards the skull and top of the head of the one closest to me.

Bwak-!

The skeleton’s skull, which was so strong, crumbles like a house made of cookies.

The sword that broke the skull went down without resistance, reaching its maximum range of motion, shattering all the bones it passed through.

“Oh! After all, it’s a punitive force!”

“Get rid of them all!”

Major parts of the skeleton, from the skull to the pelvic bones, were shattered with a single blow full of magical power.

No matter how they revived themselves by reassembling used parts, they couldn’t survive if they were destroyed this horribly.

“Do… I did it… ….”

I was thrilled by the thrilling sensation that still remained in my fingertips.

But the dozens of remaining skeletons were still rushing towards me.

But now I wasn’t afraid.

If you can kill it in one hit, then it’s no different from a blue slime, whether it’s a skeleton or a skeleton grandfather.

“You bastards! “The novice adventurer is leaving!”

I gritted my teeth and charged through the group of undead, filling the tip of my sword with magical power.
