Chapter 525

I fought against two orcs

“Light Elemental Shine!”

“Gyuo!?”

Holding a sword in one hand and gesturing towards the orcs with the other, I used light magic. Even though it was a bright time of day, the sudden intense light startled the orcs, who had been afraid of Leo, and they finally noticed me.

During this time, Leo seems to have taken Liza and moved further away, and so I finally had the full attention of the orcs. The orcs became excited and began to attack me.

They were often known for their recklessness, and combined with their lack of intelligence, they could only think of targeting the most visible enemy. The fear they had shown just a moment ago disappeared immediately, and they were completely intent on attacking me.

I had used magic to get their attention, but now I had no trump card to surprise the orcs with… Doing the same thing again would have little effect.

“Very well then. I’m going!”

Although I had been taught other magic that could be used, I decided to face the two orcs without any tricks.

Besides, it wasn’t necessary to use tricks to fight advantageously, since the others were watching over me.

Holding my sword in the middle position, I ran towards the orcs who were positioned a short distance away.

At the very least, if I didn’t go towards the two orcs myself, then they both might charge at the same time, which would be dangerous and difficult to avoid.

“Gyuo!?”

“Hmph!”

First, I targeted the left orc who was closer, and ran towards it.

The orc was surprised by the sudden approach and its reaction was slow as it lifted its arm.

I made use of the opening to get close and swing my sword downwards.

“Gyuaaa!”

The sword lightly slashed the right arm of the orc.

As the orc let out a cry of pain, I swung back up in order to weaken it even further…

“Gyuu!”

“Ah! Damn it!”

The moment I lifted my sword, the other orc charged in from the side and swung down its left arm.

I couldn’t help but shout in alarm as I twisted my body and met the orc’s arm with my sword.

“Gyuu!”

“Mmm…they’re so strong, if nothing else!”

It was so sudden that I ended up catching the orc’s arm with the flat of my sword.

If it were the sharp side, I could have cut it off with the momentum. But the important thing was to avoid being hit.

The orc then tried to push me down by applying more weight into its left arm.

While I was supporting my sword with both arms, the orc was using one arm…even if I had the advantage of pushing down, I could not match its strength.

Had I not trained, I would have likely been pushed back easily…

“Gyua!”

“I knew you would do that!”

“Gyu!”

While I was blocking one orc’s attack, the other orc was free.

Its eyes were bloodshot with rage from having its arm cut, and it raised its hands and tried to grab me.

And so I moved away from the other orc and lowered my sword.

The sudden lack of resistance allowed the orc to swing down, but I was no longer there.

It seemed surprised at first, but I ignored it as I kicked off the dirt and escaped from the spot.

It would be difficult to beat the power of two orcs at such close range.

I lowered my stand and dove below the arms of the orcs, and then continued forward until I was several meters away from them.

At least for now, I was safe…

If there was only one, I could just cut it, and then continue to weaken it, but… When there were two, I would not have as many openings.

…I would just have to do it slowly… Or find a way to take one out with a single blow…

“…I guess this isn’t the time to do anything risky. I’ll go with weakening them.”

This was like training, where I learned how to take on multiple opponents.

I had plenty of time, which I would use.

Besides, I doubted that I could take one orc out with a single blow anyway.

Perhaps if I was able to stab it in the head or heart. But then again, it would take time to pull it out again. And I would be vulnerable to the other orc.

“…Hmm?”

“Gyuuooo!”

“Gyuuo!”

“Woah! Phew…”

As I was thinking, the two orcs swung their arms at me at the same time.

I dodged the attacks by a hair’s breadth, but…I really shouldn’t get too absorbed in my thoughts in the middle of a fight..

Still, I went through my memories and fixed on a certain idea.

“Alright, I decided what to do. Now I just need to…”

I looked at the orcs that were raising their arms in my direction.

As there was some danger in my plan, I could not do it if the orcs were too close to me.

“Gyuoo!”

“Gyuo!”

“Tsk…woah!”

I parried the orc on the right with my sword, and then dodged the orc on my left.

While I was managing to stop the attacks, things could not remain like this…

As the orcs were not coordinated, even if one of them attacked, and I dodged it, there wasn’t always an opening.

It was no wonder that Philip and the guards had trouble with decreasing their numbers.
