Chapter 51

Episode 51:

My hands were numb.

With just one collision, I was able to see the difference in skill between him and me.

It was just one time.

At that one time, the flesh on my palm burst, blood flowed, and my wrist throbbed as if the bones were cracked.

‘It’s gotten a lot better.’

I felt a difference in strength, but it didn’t feel bad.

If it had been before, I would not have been able to withstand such an attack.

To begin with, he wasn’t an ordinary Orc.

A necklace made by weaving together the oracle bones attached to the ribcage like armor and the teeth of animals.

This guy is an Orc Warrior. An Orc general who uses an ax rather than a glaive.

That wasn’t what was important now.

It is natural that Orc Warriors are stronger than ordinary Orcs.

However, the guy in front of me showed strength that was hard to compare to those Orc Warriors.

It was unique in its size.

The existing Orc Warrior is only slightly over 2m tall.

However, the Orc Warrior in front of him had a huge physique, almost 3 meters tall.

Moreover, the tendons all over my body were bulging and my face was red, as if I had taken some kind of drug.

This was by no means an ordinary situation.

It is a testing period in the first place. Although monsters come down from the mountains, examiners manage the test site in advance.

Only enough monsters are left for the cadets to hunt.

Cadets may be able to deal with Orcs, but Orc Warriors are difficult to deal with.

‘They say it’s like a variant.’

It may be that he came down late due to the cadets making noise.

Whatever it was, it was clearly dangerous.

Chwiik.

The orc stepped back and looked back and forth between his ax and me.

He continued to snort and stamp his feet.

He was embarrassed that a weak-looking human blocked his attack.

Looking at the Orc Warrior like that, I smiled without knowing.

I felt like an Orc Warrior with this much power could satisfy me to some extent.

A dangerous, but unlikely opponent.

Until now, I’ve wanted someone like that.

Plus, I’m extremely satisfied because I don’t have to worry about power control.

Wow!

The Orc Warrior swung his axe.

The force contained in the ax was so strong that the background around it could be seen distorting.

He raised his sword at an angle and threw the ax to the side.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

Sparks flew out from the ax as it passed by like a sword.

I let his ax flow sideways like water flows from top to bottom.

Profit?

I saw the guy’s face looking confused.

Quaaaang!

I stepped on an ax that had fallen to the ground. The Orc Warrior bent his knees, kicked the ground, and jumped up before pulling the ax out of the ground.

I swung my sword at the defenseless guy’s neck.

Wow!

Blood splattered.

I quickly retreated as I saw the blood gushing out like a fountain.

Huh!

Before I knew it, the ax was approaching and passed by my forehead.

It was shallow.

The leather was so thick that the sword dug into it.

Crumbling!

The orc roared.

Its muscles twitched every time it took a deep breath.

Bang kwaaaaang!

The guy ran up and swung the ax wildly.

Things around him were horribly destroyed by it.

There was a loud noise and debris flew everywhere.

Kang kakakang!

The sound of debris being thrown away was heard from behind.

I realized that I shouldn’t waste too much time listening to that sound.

As long as it’s Selina and Mahol, there’s nothing to worry about, but Raina is with them. If one of the fragments touches her, things could get worse.

I took a deep breath while dodging the axe.

“Whoa...”

There was no need to play the main character.

This was easily resolved without acting.

And after almost getting eaten by the main character, I was reluctant to play the main character.

bang!

I stopped dodging and received the axe.

The shock from the ax flowed through my entire body.

Boom boom boom!

He struck away the orc warrior’s ax, which was swinging wildly, and dug inside.

I stabbed the sword into the guy’s chest.

Phew!

It’s shallow this time too.

The leather is thick, but it is also very tough.

There was a group of people heading towards the mountain range.

Masked people dressed entirely in black.

They waited for a signal at the entrance of the mountain range, avoiding the eyes of testers spread throughout the forest.

Boom boom boom!

Among the black flares rising in the sky, a slightly red flare was visible.

‘Mission failed.’

It was a signal sent by members of the organization tasked with monitoring the Orc Warriors.

‘It moves.’

The leader at the forefront of them did not react much to the failure of the mission and sent a hand signal to his subordinates.

Everyone nodded quietly and followed him.

Crumbling.

Chwiik!

The beginning of the mountain range was crowded with various monsters.

From goblins to orcs.

There were some guys fighting among themselves.

Sniff sniff!

Among the monsters, a dog-like monster called Gnoll came closer to them with its nose wagging.

The leader was not embarrassed and took out the monster’s dried excrement from his chest to hide their body odor.

Monsters were more sensitive to smells than humans thought.

I couldn’t escape from them just by hiding.

This is because monsters can smell the unique scent of humans.

However, the reason they were able to pass by the monsters without colliding was because they used incense that removed body odor.

Unless you’re a monster that’s overly sensitive to scents, like wolves, you won’t be able to find them.

‘stop.’

They quickly reached the center of the mountain range and stopped at the leader’s hand signal.

At some point, the monsters began to disappear.

And now there wasn’t a single monster nearby.

Because their natural enemies are here.

Predators of the mountains.

A place that no one enters unless they wish to commit suicide.

That’s where they entered.

Bong!

The leader uncorked the bottle in his hand and carefully approached the predator.

It is so huge that it would not be strange to say that it is a small garden.

I felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion just by looking at it.

Nevertheless, I couldn’t see any signs of great tension in them.

The liquid that came out of the bottle instantly turned into gas as soon as it came into contact with air.

The gas penetrated the breathing predator’s nose and mouth.

The masked people quietly watched the predator.

The predator’s head turned red.

The medicine worked properly. He nodded and took out a small communication device from his pocket.

And then I turned on the communication port. Then, a bloated male vice principal appeared.

The vice principal looked around through the communication port and asked the masked person.

-What about work?

“The first plan failed. “We are currently working on the second plan.”

-Are you doing it right?

At those words, the masked man turned the communication port and illuminated the predator.

-good. The medicine worked properly.

The assistant principal examined the predator’s head and nodded.

Reddened hair.

It was a symptom that indicated that the medicine had taken effect.

The masked man moved the communication port again and turned his back on the predator.

“You won’t fail this time.”

-That’s right. It’s even weirder that that guy fails to move.

The vice principal snorted. Failing against a predator out there was funnier than losing your bread to a street dog.

-But it’s better to be sure, so check properly... What is that?

“...?”

-Look behind you!

“What is it...?”

Okay.

The leader’s head exploded as he turned his head to the vice principal’s urgent shout.

The communication port rolled around on the ground ungainly.

“...!”

The other masked people were taken aback by the sudden death of their leader.

He quickly took out his weapon and looked back at the predator that attacked the leader.

Wow!

The predator stood up and roared.

Their faces, hidden behind the masks, turned pale.

“My disciple!”

The communication port is broken by the predator’s feet, and the masked people run for their lives.

A predator pounced on them.

Quad dudduk. Quad dudduk.

A horrifying sound echoed through the mountains, and even the screams disappeared.

A predator with a mouth full of blood looked across the mountain range.

Back to

the forest –

the predator responded to the voices of the humans.

A predator with red eyes started running in the direction of the sound.
