Episode 215.
One explosion.
The initiative was definitely taken.
Even an axe-wielding orc warrior would have a hard time withstanding the explosion of Lonobe. However, the situation is not good. Lapain Castle is empty and filled with orcs. The orcs are surging in like a tidal wave.
“Peter! Rirun! Build a wall!”
-!!
As soon as Peter made a seal, the ground in front of the shattered gate rose up. When Lirun, who had planted the seeds, used her magic, the vines entangled with the remains of the gate along with the walls. It was a collaboration of the vines of the seeds and the leather soaked in the ground.
“Good!”
Ronobe immediately reinforced the wall by spreading the soaked thread.
Boom! Kwaang! The orcs pounded, causing Peter’s wall to collapse, and the axe began to tear through Lirun’s vines. The moment the bloody attacks were launched, the orcs panicked as they touched Ronobe’s water-soaked thread.
A sound of “Kreuk, keruk!” was heard.
This is because the weapon or body is stuck to the adhesive of the water-soaked thread and cannot move.
A little gap.
I had to decide what to do now.
“You must avoid it!”
The number of orcs must be at least a hundred.
In contrast, Ronobe’s army is only about twenty strong. They have blocked the gate for now, but this isn’t the only gate. If they rush out through another gate, there will be no other disaster.
“Bone soul lover.”
Ronobe ordered that the souls of the orcs he had just killed be consumed to create thirty Golhonyures and attack the orcs. The Golhonyures flew off on their own and fought the orcs.
Peter slowly moved his stone-headed golem to block the gate, while Benny shot the ones who tried to jump down from the wall one by one with arrows.
“Retreat, retreat!”
The situation is so bad.
We have no choice but to retreat.
It’s not good to confront each other.
“Turn it back quickly!”
“The cart is too heavy!”
“Carriage first! Turn the carriage first!”
But retreating didn’t seem to make much sense. We had a lot of wagons. We had a lot of wine and spices from various supplies and gifts. We had spare equipment there too, so it wouldn’t be easy to run away with all that.
And that was when it happened.
Ting-! Kuuung-! The orc warrior who had fallen while deflecting Benny’s arrow appeared, revealing his massive body.
The impact of the fall caused my eyes to flutter open.
At first glance, he was a warrior who appeared to be the leader of the orcs who had taken over Lapain.
‘Strong.’
The atmosphere itself is different.
If the intimidating feeling that Akash gave off was red, this one is at least white.
“Human, it’s a duel!”
He slammed his double-edged axe down on the floor and shouted, crossing his arms.
A commanding attitude.
The orc’s gaze was fierce, his chin raised.
“… A duel?”
“It seems like they want to have a big fight.”
Liam’s eyes wavered.
“Are you scared?”
“no!”
He was scared. He was definitely scared. His pupils shook as if he was struck by thunder. He was definitely someone who couldn’t win even if he woke up from the dead at Liam’s current level. No matter how many times he woke up, Liam’s level was still low.
It’s at a level where I wonder if it will even turn blue.
There’s a long way to go.
“I’ll do it.”
Beni tried to leave. Beni was the only one who could properly fight here. However, Ronobe stopped him. In his opinion, Beni would be difficult. If he were to use a bow in a different terrain than the main battle, it would be possible, but in close combat, the physical specifications are too different. Even Aaron would be a difficult opponent, but Beni would be no match for him.
‘It’ll be hard to escape anyway. What if we abandon the cart and carriage?’
That can’t be happening.
There’s also a trolley in the cart. If the other side wants a big fight, that’s better. If they win, there’s no problem.
“I’ll go out.”
“Ronobe. Stop talking nonsense.”
Benny got angry for once.
I see. Ronobe is a wizard.
It was ridiculous for a wizard to fight a warrior one-on-one. It was ridiculous nonsense not only to Benny but also to everyone else.
Ronobe is a baron and lord.
There is a knight, but the fact that he came forward is absurd. It was partly because I cared for my husband, but also because of my pride as a knight.
“It is an order. I am going out.”
But it was not permitted.
There was nothing Ronobe could do.
Beni is a bowman. He is not suited for duels. No matter how much he has trained and lived as a knight, Beni is still inexperienced. He has less combat experience than Ronobe. No matter how good his eyesight is, it is not yet. If we only look at the odds, Ronobe should have gone forward. No man would send his wife away knowing she would die.
That guy from the beginning…
‘You’re only looking at me.’
I was just looking at Ronobe.
“What’s your name?”
“The Red Bone Warrior. Rakakuda!”
Red bone.
It seemed to be from the same tribe as Akash. He was large and had sharp eyes. He was an orc with an impressive large scar across his face. His booming voice had the spirit of a powerful warrior.
“Do you know Akash?”
“Akashu. An honorable warrior. You know him. Did you kill Akash?”
It wasn’t an attitude of blaming.
Ronobe shook his head.
“No, he called me the wise man of the forest. He wanted to be friends with me.”
“…The wise man of the forest? Is that you?”
Rakaku frowned as he looked at Ronobe.
“Akashu would not have been talking nonsense. He is a warrior who knows honor. If you are truly the sage of the forest, I do not wish to kill you. Those who are recognized by the forest must be respected. The will of the forest is our will.”
“Is it just because of that reason?”
“No. Because I desire your seed.”
“seed?”
“We were recognized by the forest, but we were unable to protect it. Therefore, the forest left us. We lost our honorable color. We want to find that color again.”
Rakakku stroked my arm.
Her own faded, sallow skin.
“This is ridiculous.”
In the end, he wanted to create an orc that would once again be recognized by the forest by receiving the seed of Ronobe, who was chosen as the wise man of the forest. In the end, the reason he did not want to kill Ronobe was because he coveted his seed.
“I am different from Akash. The Red Bone Tribe needs a forest sage.”
It sounded like he was going to take me by force.
“no!”
Benny got excited for once because the topic of seeds came up.
On the other hand, Ronobe remained calm.
‘Nothing has changed.’
It was a little ridiculous to be greedy for seeds, but it didn’t make any difference.
In the end, we have to fight.
“duel!”
“duel!”
“duel!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The orcs standing on the walls stamp their feet. The thumping sound of their feet, like drums being beaten, heightens the tension.
Ronobe looked at the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers were shaking with anxiety.
“You guys try something too!”
The soldiers were in a state of confusion at the sight of Ronobe pointing at the orcs.
“Tea, let’s knock on the window!”
“good!”
Thud, koo kung. Kookookung. Thud!
There was no beat at all.
“Oh, don’t do that! It’ll embarrass you…”
“Let’s start.”
Rakaku uncrossed his arms. He didn’t lift his giant double-edged axe. Ronobe felt determined to capture him.
“Are you ignoring me?”
“You’re too small. You can’t use an axe because if you step on it wrong, you’ll die.”
The expression was serious.
It’s not ignorance.
I really thought so.
“Are there any rules to dueling?”
“does not exist.”
It was like saying you can do whatever you want.
‘If I use the plague spell, I’ll definitely get caught up in it too.’
The firepower of the lightning is certain, but the range is too wide. It was too dangerous to use it against Rakaku who was right in front of him. Not only Ronobe, but even the private soldiers would all get involved. It was doubtful that Rakaku would wait for that. However, if he used a suitable magic, he would immediately break it and come to beat up Ronobe.
‘Of course it won’t freeze.’
Since coming to the North, Ronobe has never used Anna’s magic.
The reason was simple.
Anna’s freezing magic concentrates moisture in the air and freezes it using her blood. However, the North has cold and dry winters. There is no way there would be moisture in a dry environment. No matter how snowy and cold it is, it is not a good environment for using magic.
‘It’s not impossible to melt the snow that’s piled up around you, but…’
It’s not difficult to use blood to melt and refreeze the surrounding snow, but it’s a tedious and difficult task.
It’s not suitable for urgent combat.
A magic that uses freezing but can’t be used in winter.
It was so ironic.
‘When I fought Aaron. What did I do?’
The answer is simple.
It focuses mainly on close combat.
Magic is used as a sub.
It’s not like I’ve never fought a knight before. Most of them want close combat and try to close the distance. The moment the wizard closes the distance, victory or defeat is decided.
But that’s if you’re a normal wizard.
‘Not me.’
It’s not Ronobe.
For Ronobe, there is a bear form that has a good amount of close combat experience with knights and a tough, tough form that covers up for unfamiliar close combat.
First, turn into a bear and think.
The rest is tailored to the immediate situation.
“gray…”
The moment when Ronobe is about to turn into a bear.
Kung! The Red Bone Tribe’s great warrior, Rakaku, suddenly appeared before Ronobe’s eyes.
‘Hurry up!’
It was an unbelievably fast speed for a giant. Even though he wasn’t holding an axe, his fist flew in like lightning, easily shattering Ronobe’s head.
Boom-!!
“Ronobe!!”
“My lord!”
One punch from Rakaku.
In that one shot, Ronobe was blown away like a bullet and crashed into the cart, destroying it. Inside the cart, where dust rose, Ronobe briefly fainted and then woke up.
“What is this, where am I… Aah!”
Chilly arms.
Ronobe unconsciously put his hand on his head and cried out in pain. Ronobe’s left hand had turned into a bear’s paw. He had blocked it with his bear’s paw while he was transforming. If it hadn’t been for that, he would have died in one blow.
“Fuck, is your arm broken?”
Even though he turned into a bear, he still felt the pain of having a broken arm. It wasn’t actually broken, but it felt like the cold shock was still spinning around in his arm.
‘This is fucked.’
Ronobe, who had turned into a full-blown gray bear, howled while rubbing his arm.
“The Sage of the Forest is certain. Alright. I won’t kill him. But I will win this match.”
Boom, boom!
The orcs’ morale seemed to have risen, and the sound of stomping feet grew louder. On the other hand, the faces of the soldiers became darker.
Liam secretly raised his shield in case of any accidents, and Benny also put his hand on the sword at his waist. Ron, Tybal, and even Peter and the other disciples hardened their hearts when they saw the two.
“It’s my turn now.”
This is not the time to be saving and saving.
Ronobe took out three balls of compressed oil and blew them away. After watching the balls of oil flying in sequentially, Rakaku finally took out his double-edged axe and swung it.
That’s a real double standard.
The oil in the lonobe cracked at once.
“Ask.”
But this was of course expected.
Ronobe used the split oil to create tentacles. The tentacles were huge in number and size, as a huge amount had been compressed. Dozens of tentacles were aimed at Rakak.
“Ugh!”
But Rakaku swung his axe again, and the tentacle burst. The moment he flew through the gap in the tentacle.
“oil painting.”
The oil exploded.
A painting that exploded, creating a huge explosion.
No matter how powerful the White-Class power is, it is impossible to ignore the oil painting of Ronobe. Firepower is firepower, but there is no living thing in this world that can ignore the tyranny that comes from an explosion.
“Bone soul lover.”
Summon the Golhonyuu there.
Because of the limited number of souls, the number was limited to thirty, but at the same time, they summoned the plague-causing pathogens and mosquitoes to take advantage of the opportunity.
That was when.
Whoosh-!! Rakaku rushed in from the explosion. He must have taken quite a hit because his skin was scorched and blood was gushing out, but his eyes holding the axe didn’t waver one bit.
Ronobe used Golhonyu to block Rakaku’s advance, and then used oil mosquitoes in succession to take advantage of the gap. The oil mosquitoes burst out from Rakaku’s sides, and Golhonyu aimed for his feet and head.
“Kuaaa …
But Rakak was stubborn.
Even when mosquitoes exploded and the goby gnawed at my flesh, I didn’t back down. Toughness that wasn’t afraid of getting hurt. Strong will to give up my flesh and take my bones.
The madness for battle burned brightly in my gray pupils. I swallowed dry saliva without realizing it and used Yuhwa to cause another explosion.
Boom! With a popping sound. Thud! The axe was stuck in Ronobe’s side.
“Ugh!”
The axe stabs and splits the leather.
A fountain of blood spurted out from the crack, and Ronobe’s transformation was undone. He immediately used the bubble. He burrowed into the bubble and spat out a ball of thread from his mouth at the incoming Karaku. Peek! But even that was dodged by the bastard.
“how…”
In response to Ronobe’s question, Rakaku answered calmly with a disorganized look.
“When your oil exploded, some of it hit my side. It hurt.”
It was a story of approaching after being blown to the side by an explosion and hitting with an axe. It was a sense that Ronobe could not have. It was a toughness and experience that was possible only for a great warrior and orc who had been rolling around in the battlefield for a long time.
Of course, Rakak was not normal either.
Here and there, burns and blood flowed from the aftermath of the explosion. The last explosion had badly wounded his side, causing his internal organs to spill out and blur. Rakak smiled as he poked the intestines with one hand.
“The wise man of the forest. He is strong.”
Ronobe’s face, filled with despair, became distorted.
I showed all my patterns, but this is not an opponent I can beat.
It’s not just white. I think it’s something closer to black.
The shadow of the Count was even visible in the bastard’s appearance.
Rakaku’s power was strong and honorable enough to acknowledge it himself. But that’s that, and this is this. Ronobe had to live. There was no reason to live alone. It was a power he had cultivated to protect those he cherished. He couldn’t lose it here.
We need the power of God.
“Yonteri…!”
He called out to God. Kkwak! At the same time, Rakaku’s arm was grabbed.
“You… what are you?”
Rakaku was rarely flustered.
“what?”
Ronobe was also embarrassed.
Because it wasn’t his own hand. He hadn’t even called Yonterion yet.
“I am… a knight.”
In the midst of a flurry of snow.
A woman with flowing, crimson hair was holding Rakaku’s wrist.
No, it was a strange creature. Not to mention it was naked in this cold weather, and the hand that was holding the thing’s arm was definitely her left hand. But the number was the problem.
‘Two left hands?’
In his other hand he held a longsword.
Because it was a being with four arms, not the usual two.
“Who am I?”
It didn’t seem to be in its right mind. When I looked closely, I saw that there was another small eye under its eye. It had four eyes.
Only then did Ronobe realize.
“Crazy! You’ve become a real woman…?”
She was the knight in the dream cocoon.
It was the knight that Ronobe wanted to save.
The knight of Dawan glanced at Ronobe and then swung his sword at Rakaku with an expressionless face. Rakaku immediately rolled over and grabbed the axe and swung it, but
Chomp-!! Dawan’s knight cut down Rakaku with the axe in one stroke.
Rakaku, whose body was torn apart by the axe, collapsed as if he couldn’t believe it. Ronobe looked at Dawan’s knight with a strange expression of surprise and joy.
“oh my god.”
It was really a hit.
No other words were needed.
It was a real hit in many ways.
Dawan [2]
