Green Skin

Chapter 148

I slowly raised my hand. The first to engage in the battle was the remote archers of the Blood Dagger Clan. There wasn’t any other reason in having the Blood Dagger’s archers engaged first, including Mev.

The initial objective was to tire out the bastard. Among the three brother tribes, our Blood Dagger Clan members were the most rational ones. As a proof, Mev’s eyes did not turn red. As Mev, who was wearing a crown and holding a large bow shouted, the Blood Dagger Clan members yelled once again.

“We’ll be back! Leader!”

“Victory! Only for victory!”

“For Blood Dagger!”

“For Blood Dagger!”

The greatest strength of the Blood Dagger Clan was agility. What was the most important was for the bastard to not feel the damages. With distributed attacks, rather than centralized attack, the focus was to irritate the bastard. As prearranged, Baek Ahyeon’s faithful ones were slowly closing the distance. The Orc swordsmen, who were able to follow the archers’ movements, were on the move also. Although they have not been ordered to attack, they were like insurance just in case there was an unanticipated development.

The arrows of Mev, the spiritual archer, being supported by the spirits of the wind and fire, were on target every time. The bastard had his back turned, yet since every part of the beast’s body was a target, we did not care much, and certainly the arrows were scraping away the bastard’s scale, a little bit at a time.

The most important aspect of the first attack was to take away the beast’s mobility. The bastard wasn’t still turning its head. It only meant that Goff, who was at the front of the beast, was more threatening. As a result, both arms of the beast of the east were directed at Goff.

“That… Orc is awesome… Truly awesome…”

Even Lee Wanyong was talking without being aware. It wasn’t a scene of suppressing wildness with reason. To be precise, it was the wildness with reason. While dodging or blocking the bastard’s offensive maneuvers, he was causing damages on the beast’s head and arms which were being swung at him.

Even looking at it from the distance, there were several moments that caused chills to be sent down my spine, I still saw that Goff was laughing and shouting.

Hence, it was the Goff Clan who was having a tough time watching and restraining themselves. I thought that being able to remain calm and restrained while watching Goff fight was a very difficult thing for them. However, it wasn’t their turn to fight yet.

I raised my hand again, and Black Spear mobilized at this time.

It still wasn’t the time to explode even though they were doing their best to remain restrained for a while now. Black Spear and his clan members quietly adjusted in holding their bows and spears as if they were no longer able to contain themselves. I was moving with Black Spear as I needed to supply Black Spear’s ammos, and as a result, Lee Wanyong was following behind me with worrisome expression on his face.

We’re entering the battle field. That was, we were entering the bastard’s range.

Black Spear directed much force to his arms. Each time he swung his hand, grayish light continuously spewed out. As each time Black Spear’s spear pierced into the beast of the east, the spear was returned back to him with the power of the throwing dagger of the great sorcerer. As a result, the ends of Black Spear’s lips began to rise autonomously.

It was like a machine gun. Due to Black Spear expeditiously throwing the spears that were in both of his hands, I could barely keep up.

“For victory!!”

The piercing sound of the roar. Although the force was calibrated, it was strong enough for the beast of the east to be paying attention to the spears being thrown. Orbo shouted once again as the beast was looking in this direction.

“Wouhhhhhhhhh!”

Yelling to draw its attention, Minotaur, who was upright and holding one of the beast’s heads, was continuously receiving the help from the Baek Ahyeon’s faithful ones.

It was then.

The bastard began to swing its tail as if it had enough. We were already in its tail’s range. However, there was no intention of moving backwards. To be precise, it wasn’t possible to pull back. It was swinging its tail at the main unit while its two heads were directed at Goff. The priests were continuously injecting divine powers just in case damage might be sustained. This attack must be defended against.

/

“Jung Hayeon!”

“Yes!”

“…………..!”

“Kwang!!!!!!”

Gigantic roots rose up, pushing out of the ground, and began to defend against the bastard’s tail. Perhaps, thinking that one root was not sufficient, two roots were protecting the main unit from being hit by the bastard’s tail.

“Uuk!”

There was enough spare magic power, but perhaps because the bastard’s attack might have been too severe, I saw blood flowing around Jung Hayeon’s mouth. Yet it would be blocked. The attack would have been dodged should it have solely fell on the Blood Dagger Clan, but the main unit with low agility could not be allowed to sustain damage.

“Let there be victory!”

The spells and arrows continued to pour down on the bastard’s tail while Jung Hayeon kept holding onto it.

“Aaaak!”

However, the roots could soon disintegrate. Although the tail, which has lost its momentum, made an impact with the main unit, it was possible for the half Ogres to block the beast of the east’s tail. Having made a gigantic shadow, it felt as if the tail was much bigger than it actually was. While continuing to block the beast’s tail with their shields, the trolls of the Black Spear Clan didn’t stop piercing the bastard’s tail with their spears.

“Will block it!”

“Attack! Attack!”

The sound of those words echoed. I, too, jumped off the ground and began to swap out weapons. From ancient fire to the long wooden spear of the Lifetree, from the long wooden spear of the Lifetree to a big sword that was too big to be called a sword, and as I immediately swung the sword, it made sound of slicing the wind, and with that, blood spurted out of the bastard’s tail.

“Krruuuuuhhhh!”

‘It was determined to be deadly.’

The accumulated damages that have caused the scales to be chipped off might have contributed to it, but the attacks, which had only appeared to have been possible to cause damages to its hide, instantly ripped through the flesh. Even though it has been anticipated, the effect was certainly excellent. It was an attack that could have only been left to chance, but with such an attack power, it was good enough to anticipate. And one of the bastard’s heads began to pay attention to this direction.

Seeing it open its mouth wide and inflating its chest, what came next was the breath. As everyone was moving to a point of safe distance even before an instruction was given, the beast of the east has lost its balance in a great fashion. It was that the warriors who were ahead have destroyed its balance.

“We do not avoid! Do not avoid! Separate into three groups! Divide into three groups!”

Even in the midst of desperate situation, the formation did not break down. Instead, it began to divide as if to disperse. The beast of the east spewed its breath to where no one was, and the green skins, divided into three groups, quickly approached the beast. Goff, too, after having seen the main unit divide into three groups, began to turn his body.

The Ogres of the Goff Clan cheered upon seeing it.

“Give us death if not victory!!”

“Death!!”

Huge ropes were brought out. As the goblins of the Black Spear Clan threw the spears to the bastard’s head, the big spears, which appeared to have been unable to penetrate, began to pierce into the bastard’s long neck.

/

There, at the ends of the heads of the spears, were the ropes which the Ogres were holding on to. The tens of spears and ropes began to wrap around the bastard, and even the roots that Jung Hayeon had summoned began to coil around the neck, as well.

Then, someone, who was watching this play out, shouted.

“Pull!!”

“Pull it!!!”

It was a method that would have been impossible for humans. A tug-o-war, between the Goff Clan’s Ogres and the beast, has ensued.
